Works to Elect Queen.

With a bevy of pretty Los Angeles
society girls, backed by some of the
most wealthy interests OF southern
California out against them, the
combined companies of the motion
picture industry of that state have
joined hands to elect to the post
of queen of the southland during
the coming Panama Pacific exposi-
tion, Miss Gladys Nicholson, one of
the best known society bellies of
Los Angeles.
Each of the film companies has
come forward with liberal donation
to the cause and scores of the ac'
tresses have volunteered their ser
vices in the matter of selling voting
tickets ranging in value from ten
cents to ten dollars to insure the
successful campaign of their choice
for queen.

THEATORlUM
FRIDAY, MARCH 12

Probably there are few theatre
patrons of this country who are not
familiar with the phrases, Come on
Remorse,' and Gee, amt it hell to
be poor" and probably every one of
them will remember the thrill which
was given them as Thomas H. Ross
stood in the betting rings in the
big scene from Checkers" and with
his back to the track, begged and
pleaded with Remorse to come home
a winner that he might go back to
that little town in Arkansas and
claim the girl OF his heart for his
own. Henry NJ. Blossoms great rae
ing drama, "Checkers," has been seen
for the past few years in every city
in the United States, and with each
showing it has grown more and more
popular. The only Thomas W. Ross
played the role himself for more
than two thousand times, and for
nearly one whole year in New York
City alone. Now that there may
be a preservation of the work which
made for him his name in the world
OF theatricals, he has appeared be-
fore the motion picture in a splendid
adaptation of Checkers" for the
silent drama. The film is in five
parts and abounds with tense and
exciting moments of the race track
and its life. There is excitement
running rife. pathos enough to curb
the edge, a beautiful sentiment of
love, and laughs interspersed just
frequently enough to whet the appe-
tite. The picture is the second pro-
duction of the All Star Feature Cor
poration adaptors for motion pic
lures of Broadway successes with
popular theatrical stars, the com
pany which recently under the direc-
ton of Augustus Thomas gave to
the motion picture enthusiasts Mr.,
Thomas great American play, "Ari-
zona,"
Checkers" will be shown at the
Theatorium Friday, March II.

Agustus Thomas, the eminent play

MAJESTIC THEATRE
"AllAS JIMMY VALENTINE"

Paul Armstrong's greatest play -
Robert Warwick in Alias Jimmy
Valentine" is coming soon to the
Majestic. The following is a short
synopsis os the story:
Rose Lane, riding in a railroad
sparlor car, is insulted by a fellow
passenger. She is defended by a
handsome stranger who, assured that
she will not be further molested
disappears from the scene. Rose
has fallen in love with her savior,
and her love does not diminish with
the lapse of three years. One day
she is visiting Sing Sing in company
with her father, the lieutenant gov
ernor Of the state, and among the
convicts she recognizes her deliverer
in the person of Lee Randall alias
Jimmy Valentine, who is suffering
Imprisonment for crime of which
he so convincingly pleads ignorance,
that the Lieutenant Governor secures
his release.
He is given chance in a bank,
of which Mr. Lane is the president.
He %goes straight" His old asso-
cates are after him, but he wards
them off. The detectives try to
pounce on him for offenses on which
he adroitly proves an alibi every time.
Jimmy enjoys a reputation of being
the most expert safe opener known.
The touch of his delicate sensit We
finger tips is irresistible. One day
little girl, sister of Rose Lane,
il accidentally locked in the safe.
Nobody is at hand who knows the
combination that will open it. The
child seems doomed to suffocation.
In the crisis Lee Randall comes for
ward.
With fnger-ti tips that have been
pared to the quick with the work,
he tolls steadfastly and silently until
he opens the safe. The child is
released. But on the evidence of this
work the waiting detective arrests
him. The intervention of Rose, how
ever, secures Lees final deliverance,
as the detective comedies that she
has more need of him than the state
of Massachusetts.
A convincing, logical story, giving
opportunities for strong, natural act
ing and sincere emotionalism. Rob-
ret Warwick in the character of jim
my Valentine has one of the strong
est acting parts ever presented on
the screen.
This play will be shown at the
Majestic at an early date. Watch
The Ardmoreite for announcement.

ises to excel all other serials in point
of interest
It will be remembered that at the
end of the fourteenth installment
of THE Master Key Ruth had a
vision of Dore in the clutches OF
Wilkerson and his men. In the early
scenes Of installment fifteen, Ruth
is shown on the balcony where she
is Joined by Sir Ronald but he lat
ter SCOTS at her qualms Ruth, how
ever, with woman's intuition, is
still much worried and insists upon
going to Dore's aid
Meanwhile, Wilkerson's men have
bound and tied Dore to a chair.
Wilkerson leaves the deserted hut
and incites his men to attack Dore's
surviving native veterans. Wilker-
sons men are slow to agree, but
when Dore explains that they must
put the Indian natives out of the
way in order to make their own lives
safe, the men finally consent and
attack the Hindus. Two are killed
and one escapes.
Dore hears the fighting from inside
the hut, but can do nothing Mean
while Ruth has finished changing her
costume, puts a revolver in her hol-
ster and starts out to find Dore,
despite the attempts of Sir Donald,
the consul and his wife, who make
her wait until morning. Ruth breaks
away from them, however, and goes
out into the night.
Drake tells Wilkerson that no good
can come of his wanton massacre of
the Hindus but Wilkerson laughs at
him and goes inside the hut to taunt
Dore by waving the plans to the
mine before him. Meanwhile, how
ever. the lone Hindu who escaped
has aroused the hillmen. The hillmen
start out by firing a cottage once
occupied by Europeans. A British
sentinel on the fortfications sees
the fire in the distance and gives
the alarm.
The hillmen then approach the hut
where Dore is bound. Wilkerson
sees them coming but does not un-
bind Dore. Ruth and the Hindu beg
gar, whom she has befriended, go
to the water front, where she sig
nails to an American torpedo boat in

Do Photoplayers Speak in Films?

Do photOplayers actually repeat
the lines of play when their lips
are seen to move on the screen?
This is a question that has prob
ably been asked by thousands of film
fans, and has never been answered.
Leon Kent, director of productions
of two and three reels by the west
ern Lubin, comes forward with what
is probably the first direct reply that
has ever been made by motion
picture director to this query.
He insists that each player should
repeat the lines of his or her part,
declaring that the utterance of the
lines aids the facial expression by
which all emotions are indicated on
the film screen. That his system
is working out to perfection is shown
by the great success he is achieving
in the way of perfect and economical
production of pictures entrusted to
his care. By strenuous rehearsals,
just the same as are demanded Of
a company producing a spoken play,
he is able to minimize to marvel
Gus extent the amount of wasted
film due to improper acting OF any
actors part.
In recent production Mr.. Kent
made a very remarkable record. In
less than five days he completed a
two-reel picture, the members of the
company having been drilled in their
parts so thoroughly that the play
was given as a finished production
without the slightest hitch of any
kind.

British soldiers are leaving the fort
to come to the assistance of Wilker-
son and his besieged men. Both
Americans and British make joint
attack.
Wilkerson's small force is outnum-
bered and the natives, by using burn
ing arrows, soon set the hut on fire
Dore struggles desperately to get
away from the ;lames. we dense
smoke, however, strangles Him and
he is about exhausted when rescued
from the hut. Wilkerson and Drake
escape.
Weeks later in America, on the
advice of Everett, Dore compromises
with WilkersOn agreeing to drop
the prosecution of the kidnapping
charge against WilkersOn in exchange
for the plans of the mine. Wilker-
son consents, but substitutes fake
drawing for the original plans Of
John Gallon which he retains. A
few days later Wilkerson starts to
dig for the mother lode.

CARPENTERS BRAND STORIES
IN PAPERS AS LIES

Pretty dirty was the comment of
Daniel Calvin, secretary of the strik-
ing carpenters, when talking about
the labor stories in the morning pa
pers. They are not giving us union
men a square deal.
''The Tribune ran a story which in
ferred that the strike against the con-
tractors had been called by the coun-
Gil heads without the consent of the
carpenters and made it appear that
there was dissatisfaction among the
ranks.
Almost unanimously the men
have made it plain that they are due
for a raise and are ready to strike
for it. We are now the lowest paid
of ten building trades.
MANY of our fellows who read the
morning paper stories might be led
to believe that there was dissension
in the carpenters, while, of course,
such stories are pack of lies"

ATTACKS TITLE & TRUST co.

The latest slam at the Chicago Title
& Trust Co. is in the form of a suit
to declare void a transaction, with
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
R. R. because the trust company is
accused of selling land which it is
holding in trust at one-fifth of it's
value.
Attorneys for the heirs of Jane
Stow, who left parcel of land at
Canal and Randolph sts., in the care
of the trust company, claim that
there was fraud and collision be-
tween the defendant companies and
a gross breach of trust on the part
of the trust company. The land left
by Miss Stow was sold to the rail-
road for $125,0O0, when the attor-
neys for the heirs claim that its value
is at least $575,000.
