Clara Kimball Young will be seen at Fox's tomorrow night in My Official Wife" a five part drama of Russian life in which she plays tho leading role of q beautiful young Nihilist. Miss Young is supported by an all star cast of favorites foremost among them being Harry T. Mercy, Rose E. Tapley and Earle Williams. The story is from the pen of Archi
 bald Clavering Gunther and produced by the deaconess of the screen Mar gurite Bertsch. The story is woven around beautiful Nihilist, Helene Marie, who, in order to get the secret police on the frontier of Russia, in- duces LennoX, an American, to intro duce her as his wife. in order that she may enter on his passport. The storX abounds with intensely drama tic and interesting situations, chock full Of thrilling and heart throbbing climaxes. The finale of the story is most dramatic, and the destruction of beautiful yacht by Russian torpedo IS most marvellous bit or staging. Besides this big and most powerful attraction several single reel comedies augment the always interest ing motion-picture program Theron Hart. will play several musical num- bers on the mammoth organ differ ent from those he will play tonight.

LANGWEED LISTERS
 GOOD AT KEENEY'S

The versatility and originality of the Langweed Sisters. who are appearing this week at Keeney's. has made this pair of entertainers exceedingly pop ular with the patrons of the theater and their act finds such favor that they are forced to respond to several curtain calls at every performance. The young ladies seem to enjoy their work and apparently they get a great deal of pleasure out of it.. One of them is an eccentric comedienne or a most unusual type. She furnishes ono continuous gale of mirth-pro- vokers from the time she makes her first appearance until the final exit and her wit and original batter keep the audience in a state bordering on mysteries. The girls are clever and their act is one that is bound to win the approval of theatergoers every where.
 Keeney's frequently present aero batic specialties of various type and quality but it is seldom that tumblers of the ability of the Loge troupe visit this city. They are furnishing the eX- tra attraction this week. They have a number of sensational feats Their worfk is of a thrilling order.
 Dei AueipHla, the iaiflous IlasiciaH and slight of-hand worker, is this weeks popular headliner. His act differs in many respects from the or dlnary magical specially, his tricks are original and new and his style in imitable. His disappearing bird cage feat is one of the neatest things in the sleight-of-hand line ever shown here.
 Joe Marks, the little English com edian and Bill Johnson's troupe Of cabaret singers, also provide a special ties of merit.

 Mint Apple Jelly.
 Apple jelly very de1icateIy favored with mint will be found delicious to serve with roast duck, lamb or goose. It is made in the usual manner from tart, juicy apples not overripe. Add to each cupful of the strained apple juice one tablespoonful of mint extract and then proceed as for ordinary jelly us- ing equal measures of juice and sugar. TO prepare the mint extract take one cupful of fresh mint leaves well pressed down and steep slowly for one hour in a small cupful of boiling water Then strain through a thin cloth. squeezing out all the juice that will come. This furnishes an attrac- tive color, making the jelly a bright green.

1i2 MILES IN LENGTH.
Number of Russians and Guns Cap
 tured in "Winter's Battle"

HI w phttkGs
 Correspondence Of tho Associated Press
 Berlin, March 31.-To visualize the number of Russian prisoners and guns taken by von Hindenburg in the so- called Winters Battle" to the east of the Masurian lakes, one of the German papers has figured out what d great procession they would make.
 If the 104,000 prisoners. the 300 pieces of artillery, and the 2.000 wag- ons, it says, were to form a process sion with four men abreast, with tho artillery and wagons in usual march ing order, they would reach 112 miles in length. It would require thirty hours for such a procession to pass q given point. In the same way 1t is figured that all the prisoners of war now held by Germany-a total of 7S0,000 men--would make a process sion 625 miles long.
