ORPHEO THEATRE,

Today-Frank Daniels may act in pictures for a long while without find ing character more to his liking than Crooky, Convict No. 9999. He may star in many comedies before he finds another so skillfully devised to keep his humorous personality in the foreground and present to picture patrons a Frank Daniels. no less in dividual in his method, no less laugh provoking in his antics than the re- nowned comedian of a long list of comic operas. Paul West wrote the scenario for this excellent V-L-S-E offering, and c. J. Williams made it into a five-reel production. In addi- tion to MT. Daniels, he had first rate company of players to direct, starting with Charles Eldridge as Colonel Bob Roberts, wealthy rancher, who comes East to invest his money, and continuing through a cast numbering Harry T. Mercy, Ed wina Robbins, Anna Laughlin and Evart Overton. A representative ag- gregation of Vitag1aph actors appears in the blue ribbon feature and re- suits are of the best.

BEST THEATRE.

Tomorrow-Victor Moore, who is the star in Jesse l.. Lasky's picturi- zation Of "Chimmie Fadden," is not appearing in the character of the world-famous Bowery boy for the first time. In fact, it was number of years ago that victor first imper- sonated "Chimmie"-whe Victor had an engs cement with a Jersey stock company
 It was under the most trying cir cumst stances that MT. Moore made. his debut in this role, for he received word that his mother was ill and spent Saturday night and Sunday on a trip to Boston to see her. He stu died the lines on the train, under such excitement that he fixed them indelbly in his memory. When he got back to his company on Monday morning he just had chance to walk through the part once, and so made his bow as "Chimmie" without any real rehearsal at all
 Nevertheless. "Chimmie' was such close fit for Victor Moore that his performance of the role added ma- tcrially to his reputation as a come dian

What Scandal la

What Scandal la
 Of scandal,a the New Republic writes: There are few of us who do not enjoy this sense of really know. Ing what's what. It extends our ex- perience. and gives us vicarious i'm. portance. If we cannot live great passions, we can at least read about Mme Du Barry's bOudoir; If we can. not be smart, we can at least feel that we have an insiders knowledge of the smart set. The moral earnest ness and deep attention which people will devote to discussing other peo- ple's domestic affairs suggests that gossip is perhaps . genuine primi. tive art in whick there is interest through pity and fear and pride and Joy. One woman leaves her husband: . hundred women chatter about 1t, and their passionate interest might make Q cynic wonder whether they are not living through all the emo. tons of . great adventure without the risk of moving away from their own steam. radiators. Gossip Is ex' perience without responsibility. It Is g means of taking part in inter- esting or important events without any of the risk that comes of being an actor in them. Gossip. in short, Is tho pleasure ot the spectator ct tAe husine5s Q: lifa."

TOMORROW IS DAY
 TO EXERT CAUTION

When the alarm clock awakens you tomorrow, be careful.
 Be particularly carefa! tomorrow, from the moment you awake until you again climb into your doWny couch to seek slumber's sweet repose.
 Make sure that when you toss off the covers and place your feet upon the floor of your bedroom tomorrow morning, make sure that you are get ting out on the right side of the bed. Be certain, when you draw a shoe apon your right foot, that it is the right shoe.
 Guard carefully that you do not stump your toe when you start downstairs; keep bridle on your tongue, lest you say something that will bring dire results; watch your every movement, that i'll may not be- fall you.
 Be warned.
 Watch your step.
 Tomorrow is Friday.
 Worse yet, tomorrow is Friday, August 13.
 If you have a rabbits foot carry it with you. If you pass a China man. brush against him, for contact with Chinaman is considered pot ent charm against evil. If perchance there is a black cat in your neigh eorhood, hire small boy to make the animal cross your path, because thus you will be guarded by the gods of good fortune.
 Friday is considered an unlucky day. The thirteenth likewise is an unlucky day. What woe may not be- tide. when the combination of Fri day. the thirteenth, is at hand?

Amer,ean Literature.


 If one were asked what is the dom fnant tone in American literature and life, the answer would be youthful ness:' but this youth has attained all the vices of age, and, has conserved . few of the charms proper to itS period. It Is 8 very disingenuous youth indeed. This insistence on 'boyish ness is unhealthy; more, 1t Is de prayed. These beyish boys and girl. ish girls of the writer and the artist are the indications Of g real cancer In American public life. Perhaps in portraying them the writers and illus trators are describing something which b as true as 1t Is detestable. The cult of youthfulness in America is q national calamity. far graver than anything for which Europe has to mourn. Youth has nothing to give life but it's energy; 1t has even less to give literature. for literature is an expression of tho spiritual truth which runs parallel with every mate vial experience. It Is not the retail ing of petty gossip about petty peo pie; and when this youthful energy Is divorced from the control of ma turity nobody can beneflt from 1t e1 cept the middle-aged woman for whom American literature is now be. ing written" Stephens lu the ContuN,

"No Congratulations"


 When Ct.o Edward Leopold voD Bismarck Schtenhausen was born tho embarrassed parents wrote to their friends: Kindly dispense with con gratulations." Why? The event hap pened in Germany, where All Fools day was still significant But Bis' Marck was born to take the sting out of Der Tag. On one thing. however, he remained fool nearly his whole life !ong-his idolatry of beer. His reply to those opposed to him in this mat ter would probably have been to pro duce huge silver jug and fill 1t with Bavarizn beer. "That is the head" he would say. "of Field Marshal Derf. finger, conqueror of the Swedea, and one of my ancestors" This Derffinger when a boy, was apprenticed to . tailor. His master sent him for . tug of beer. On his way back hs Crank up tho beer. and in terror en- listed-"with muck advantage to the Fatherland," as Bismarck pointed out But beer proved Bismarck's unr doing. and he had to abandon the hah It by medical advice.

When Peg Tankard Was used.


 It Is true no doubt thay among the carly Anglo-Saxons-of the same stock ae the Germans-tAere was a great deal of hard drinKing and g good deal of drunkenness although after tho incursions of the Normans the habits of the country in this respect were greatly improved. Very quaint and very curious are some of the ies. ulations which we're adopted tor tho purpose of compelling thirsty souls te practice moderation. At the instance. 1t is said. of St. Dunstan. archbishop ot Canterbury, King Edgar. for the pur. pose of regulating the quantity msr might drink. ordained that pegs o, pins should ce inserted in the largs drinking vessels then in use The first person who drank em>tied the tank ard to the first pes from the top. tho second to the second peg, and SO on.

consuls Have rroubIes.

The stranded American Is the bane of the consul. His office is invaded by persons claiming his good offices after their plans have gone askew. Those in better circumstances d,mand that the consul indorse their notes at the bank, those In poorer circumstances demand to be sent home. It Is anpar. srtly a fixed idea that a consul can draw on the treasury for the relief of stranded Americans. Many cases of Ga"<ass are pitiable and consuls, not even <scouped against the social ex. penses sscidental to their position, have to glva relief out of their prl. vate means ard to stand the inev. table loss. The culy persons whom consuls are authorized by law to aid are sailors on the articles of vessel of American registry wrecked within their consular districts. end in this case only to the extent of immediate relief and passags to tho next Amor ican port

 In fact it makes more than horse race. It also makes war and host of other things. There is one thing that there should be no difference of opinion about.
