Keith's

A mile n minute without a stop would
be fair description Of "A Regular Busl-
ness Man." which held the interest Of a
crowded house at Keith's. This efterves-
cent sketch affords Douglas Fairbanks
an opportunity to leave himself OUT to
the limit, and he does. Those who saw
the little comedy before would undoubt-
edly enjoy n second look You dom I
have TO wait for It to begin. II starts as
soon as Mr.. Fairbanks enters and throws
his coat on the office chair. The business
man is a dreamer. He arrives late at
the office and smiles at his stenographer,
Patricia COllinge. She reminds him that
he owes her four weeks salary; also.
that the office rent is due. She declares
she'll leave, but the business man coaxes
her to stay. The disgusted stenographer,
who Is also his fancee. agrees providing
the boss Will get busy right away He
Is inspired Immediately and promises 10
make a thousand dollars in the next
hour. He phones all around town and
finally a lawyer offens him 500 TO dis
possess a poor woman who owes two
months rent The schemer explains
that a client wants the woman's prop
erty for which there is an offer OF $40, 600
~ the tenant can be driven out. The
business man agrees, but he Is con-
science stricken when the very woman,
whom he IL engaged TO evict. call8 to re-
turn 800 which he lost Thereupon he
takes up the wOman's side OF the argu-
ment. pays her rent and compels the
other lawyer 20 buy him out
Mr.. Fairbanks Is supported creditably
BY Miss collinge Frank Monroe and lsa-
bel West.
Ray Eleanor Ball Is what the musicians
would call q "Eoul-stlrrina viollniste."
She held up the proceedings considerably
because the audience wanted TO hear
her entire repertoire.
The Avon Comedy -Four have the knack
cf putting over some loud comedy In a
elean-cut manner In addition they have
voices which blend without noise A sur
prise was given by Harry and Emma
6harroek, who IN addition 70 handing out
a line Of comedy. did some actually clever
mind reading.
Charles Ahearn's bicycle auto. animal
and airship act Is a storm OF fun. He
appears 70 carry a cast OF 80. and a
garage fun OF autos. not to mention a
zoo on wheels. The eOncoetion Is blended
with good results and ends with a heart
breaking race Of Red Devils.
Ernest y. Ball, the composer Of many
song hits delighted the audience with his
famous songs.
A Southern night al home was given
by the Misses Campbell. who sang and
played IN the normal manner which Is

the minds OF the children as very dlgnl-
fed beings, indeed. But the other day the
brothers lost all their dignity. and this
Is how:
II was necessary to make some close
ups OF a cat for the Majestic childhood
picture DIRTY Face Dan, or Detective
Dicks Second Case" To lnd a cat that
would photograph to the best advantage
was n task, but they finally got the cat
and placed II on the bough OF a tree.
The camera man was clicking away and
everything was going splendidly when q
dog appeared. Instantly the feline player
rushed out of the picture
The Franklin brothers did not wish to
seek another cat and they decided to
stick to this one. Stick they did The
chase led around several blocks OF city
streets, through a park and across a
small stream. Eventually Kitty stopped.
A diplomatic saucer of milk ended the
incident.

Ebert Hubbard's Last Words on Mo-

Elbert Hubbard. shortly before he went
TO his death aboard the ili-fated Lust
tania, wrote to the Sellg Company, adding
his testimonial 70 the worthiness OF the
motion pictures: He wrote.
Il do not drink. nor smoke, nor chew,
but spend ten cents or a quarter TO see
motion pictures at every opportunity.
The motion pictures cheer but they do not
lnebriate. They lubricate the wheels Of
existence. rest. refresh, stir the imaglna-
tion and they never give you that dark
brown taste the day after.
For most OF tho ills the human race
r. heir TO. try the motion pictures. They
are Jeffersonian In their simplicity. You
slip in and out and the whole thing is free
from frills, fads and fussiness. You al
WAYS get your moneys worth.
Motion pictures are the greatest edu-
catlonal factors OF this day and age.
They show one-half OF the world how the
other half lives and baniBh Ignorance and

doors. Our desire to know is satisfied be-
cause the motion pictures show u.s.
mo criticism can be brought against
the motion pictures that cannot be
brought with equal truth against books
There are good books and there are bad
books and Il Is exactly so with motion
pictures. Good people only wish to see
the truthful and worthy and as we grow
better VIC will have better motion pic
lures. And I. for one, believe the help

A Real Movie Heroine
Ruth Stonehouse, the pretty Essanay
actress, now with the company at Chat
tanooga, Tenn, saved a baby from fire
which broke out in the inn where they
are making their headquarters. MISS
Stonehouse smelled smoke about mid
night. She rushed into the hall to find
everything at one end OF the hotel in a
blaze. Every one was trying frantlcally
to escape.
Miss Stonehouse heard n child cry in
the next room to her and discovered a
baby which had been overlooked In the
scramble to escape. She picked UP the
baby and fought her way through the
smoke In the upper hall to the second
story There she found her way cut off
and made her way to a window, from
which she jumped with the child In her
arms. She was half suffocated with
smoke. but otherwise escaped injury.
