get IN the Latin Quarter where
the aforementioned artist and
composer and Rudolph Tapine, a
sculptor, live. Dechanelle paints
Marie's portrait. Marie pays l.
ooo francs for one Of his paintings
purchased through the landlord
to pay the rent and other things.
The landlord gets tipsy and re-
veals her secret, with the result
that the artist approaches her.
But they sing again "Teach Me
To Smile,' a sweet, about to be
whlstled everywhere waltz duet
which they had sung in the first
act. She discovers she loves him
and her face is wreathed in smiles.
Her ogrelike father appears and
OF course she clings to her artist
lover and refuses to return to the
House Of Gloom. Finally a re-

Combat, - the Vitagraph Blue
Ribbon feature.
Director Ince was in conference
with one Of the big railroad heads
for hours before he was granted
permission to film the necessary
scene. The persuasive power of
the famous producer overruled
the magnate, however, and he
went away with the necessary per-
mits tucked away in his pocket.
The train wreck affords one of
the most realistic scenes that ever
has been filmed and when the bank
gives way the entire train over
turns and falls to the valley be-
low. Then the wooden coaches
catch fire and the cars with their
loads Of suffering humanity turn
to charred timbers and ashes. The
scene does not lack any Of the
punch and thrill which made "a
Million Bid and "Four Four
teen" two other great successes
produced under direction of Mr..
Ince.
The remarkable versatility of
Anita Stewart is given a chance
for the fullest action in The Com
bat, and the gowns worn by Miss
Stewart are many and gorgeous
and the popular actress is sur
rounded by an all star cast con.
sisting Of John Robertson, Richard
ard Turner, Virginia Norden and
Winthrop Mandell.
The Vlue Ribbon Company has
contracted with the Palace Thea
ire for the production of their all
star pictures, so that it is proba
BILE that "The Combat will b.
seen here shortly.

Miss Burgess, in the title role, is

role Of humorous chef, Burt
Leigh is doing the best work of

porting company is splendid one

i. high gates Of her fathers resi-
dence. "Cail a motor" she say
Ito the maid. Would that every

1.-THE SECRET OF THE SUB
MARINE"

The third episode Of this very
exciting serial story that will be
shown tonight at the Palace Thea
tire brings out some more strong
situations, one Of which is the dis
covery of d button in the hand of
DR.. Burke, who has been killed,
but Hook removes the button, no
ticing that it is the same as on the
hero's coat, thus defeating the
sinister designs upon Lieutenant
Hopes liberty.
The breath leap Of Hope s
automobile over a broken bridge
and the race with the spies train
in which is Cleo, Hope and Hook
and finding the auction house in
flames, is the most exciting por.
ton Of the play yet presented.

THE SUSPECT

Anita Stewart, who may have
been seen in her good work in
"The Goddess and "The Jug

The play is produced under the
capable management Of S. Rank
in Drew, who is one Of the young
est producers in the motion pic
ture business, and specially noted
for his realism in the fight scenes
in his picture, and he more than
justifes his reputation in "The

See here, Helen; come over and take
a camp dinner with me. Come, do.
I'll show you what can be done with
out preparation"
She regarded him with an express
sion that indicated how completely
such a proposal shocked her She
struggled an instant with the thought
OF it. Then she rejected the invita-
ton; yet with enough indecision to in
vite a renewal. For the moment Helen
was a heartless angler, and Seagrue
deluded by vanity was unsuspectingly
playing fish. Before he left-in the
highest spirits he had known for many
a day-he had, to his establishment,
secured Helen's promise to dine with
him that night in camp. And at the
appointed time she was ready.
The night was warm and a moon,
rising full ard into clear sky, food
ed the landscape. And after Helen's
uneasiness at the straDgeness of her
situation had worn OFF, she was able
throughout the trying hour with Sea
grue in his hut to wear her mask OF
languid interest successfully. The Ia
BILE was served with surprising delica-
cies and a plentiful array of wines
was in evidence. Yet. to an innocent
intriguer. whole hour never went so
slowly, nor was appetite ever more
reluctant than that OF Seagrue's guest.
Though she went through the form Of
eating and assumed a carefree air, his
food choke6 her. His wines she per
sistently declined; but that did not
disuay Seagrue. who drank quite
enough for two.

possible 1t seemed 70 devise any
scheme that could be carried out in
time to help Rhinelander's fight that
night at Oceanside.
But what Helen could noe devise
herself, was being already devised for
her. Following up what ,Spike-an
unconseionable liar-had declared a
fattering reception of the picture,
Seagrue resolved to seize a moment
while the going was good to forward
himself with Helen.
She was studying the telltale print
when she heard footsteps and, startled,
looked out. Seagrue was coming up
the platform. She felt frightened.

blunder and come to demand the re-
turn Of the picture She was resolved
she would not surrender it in any
event. Force. she was hopeless of
as a possible aid in her difficulty.
Stratagem and a woman's weapons
alone remained to her.
Her wits rapidly cleared She

opening the door. caught her, picture

Helen's gaze rested modestly on her

she looked slowly up at Seagrue.

Never too busy to welcome our

threw himself viciously against 1t.
The lock held. but she must get away
at once. There was a window in the
freighthouse, and she ran Tito the
freightroom. Seagrue had snatched
up stone. He reached the operators
window, only to see Helen, who had
sprung through the freighthouse win
dow, running up the track. He fol
lowed her at top speed. Intent on es-
Gaping she gave no thought TO where
she was running: it was only to get
away from her hated enemy and save
what she had so hardly regained. Hell
ter-skelter through a grove of scat
tered oaks that fringed the hills above
the sea, on and on she ran, until
breath and strength were deserving
her, but at every turn her detested
pursuer was fast upon her heels. Be
tween his lunging footballs she could
hear his painting threats, and TIE clear
ness of the night gave her little
chance to elude his savage pursuit.
She realized she was running across
what had been her own fathers estate.
The ocean spread suddenly below her,
She had reached Signal bay and the
precipitous cliffs that frowned high
above it. Like a frightened fawn she
ran up the rocks and down. only to
hear Seagrue breathing maledictions
close behind, and with the distance
steadily lessening between her and
certain capture. Brought at last TO
Ray, she darted down the cliffs to find
a hiding place. Not a nook or Granny
offered a hope of concealment, and a
misstep where she trod meant certain
death. Painting and bewildered. she
heard Seagrue climbing down the
ledge Oh which she had found a mar
row foothold. Her escape was cut
CT, and Seagrue descended triumph
antly toward her. She warnsd him
back.

Where could the survey be. now7
was the question recurring always to
Helen's mind. Toward the close of
the dinner, Seagrue, rising, unlocked
his desk for a flask of Chartreuse.
There, lying in the corner exactly
where she had seen it, Helen again be
held the survey, blue print beside
il. Seagrue was pawky enough to
close and lock the desk after he had
taken the flask out. How, she asked
herself, was she to get that desk open
again?
Seagrue dismissed his serving man.
and this did not allay Helen's uneasi-
ness for herself. She did not want
to be left alone a minute with him
now; things were getting too compli-
Gated. But could she in some way
get into the desk?
Rising. she said she would clear the
table little. Taking hold of the flask
he had just taken from the desk and
holding out her hand with a smile she
asked him fol- his keys. Seagrue was in
no position to refuse SO intimate re-
quest. With an air of eamaraderie he
handed them over and Helen pushed
back the cover of the desk But as
she did so Seagrue threw his arms
around her. She struggled indignant
ly. but could not get away. For mo-
ment there was a fierce struggle.
Then with a superhuman effort she
tore herself free. caught up the first
thing she could lay her hand ont
happened to be a bronze match tray
and struck Seagrue across the fore
head.
He went completely over, leaving
Helen horror-stricken at what she had
done. She listened. Outside she
heard no sound. SEEKING the blue
print that lay under her hand, she
gained the door and ran out just as
Seagrue regained his feet. She had
resolved to flag the Limited Hardly
touching the earth, she dashed to the
station, hurried to the key and tele-
graphed Rhinelander:

1t was not toe soon. Through the
window she saw Seagrue rushing down
the platform. She slammed the Office
door shut, and locked it. Seagrue
