WAR DRAMA ON
 SCREEN AT FOX'S

What is announced as one of the most unusual photodramas seen in months will be offered at Fox's to- morrow and Saturday, when the Fri angle-Ince presents H. B. Warner and Enid Markey in "Shell 43." It con- stitutes the initial appearance of these two popular stars and is said to be most fitting vehicle for them. "Sheu 43" is a unique narrative of cunning in the European war. It concerns the adventures of young man of mystery who possesses papers which prove him to be the correspon- dent of a big American newspaper, others establishing him as a German secret service agent, and still others vouching for his commission as a lieutenant in the English army. The secret of his mission is not divulged until the last tragic scene, when the veil of mystery surrounding his iden- tity is lifted and he is shown in his true light. This is a war drama so vivid that it makes you grip your seat, so realistic that you think you can hear the shot and shell and so forceful that you too feel that you are fighting. In addition to the above the Paramount will offer "The Strong CT Love-" featuring Vivian Martin. This is the tale of the simple noun tain lass who is put to the test of deciding between the young man from the city and her mountain love. How she decided this vital question is told in an interesting and totally different manner than usual. The Keystone players will present Puppets and the Param ount their Burton Holmes Travelogue on the program for these two days. For today MT. William Fox's super-feature "The Straight Way" with Valesl<a Suratt. "Gloria's Romance" featuring Billie Burke, The Pathe Weekly, See America First travel pictures and the George Ovey comedy, Jerry and the Blackhanders, will be the offering.

SCREAMING COMEDY
 COMING TO LYCEUM

If you want to be thoroughly en- tertained and made to forget your troubles, your pet corn and the wealth CT report, take a night off. when it comes this way to the Lyceum Sat urday and see Cohan and Harris lat est laugh promoter, Ut Pays to Ad- vertise.''
 Tt Pays to Advetise," really needs no boosting for it advertises itself being one of the brightest, most en- joyable plays produced in many sea- sons. It is not a high-brow play. It is just a sweet, clean comedy of the farce variety that everyone can understand and appreciate. Wittily written and excellently acted, with enough romance to make it attra active, to the sentimental loving portion of an audience-and which of us is not interested in a er?-esp pecially if we can laugh with him and at him.
 Tt Pays to Advertise" was written by Roi Cooper Megrue and Walter Hackett, who have told a succintly de- liciOus story into which is woven, love, laughter and the philosophy of ad- vert:sing that teaches one and the same time. The story of the play has to do with the idle son of a rich man who, goaded into an active bus mess career by his fond father, starts an advertising campaign that creates a sensation in the commercial world that astonishes no one more than the young man himself.
 Few theatrical offerings of recent seasons have furnished so good an evenings entertainment. Primarily the farce is funny-not merely funny but exceedingly funny-and also it is clean and wholesome. Seats now sell ing for both performances at CrOWeIPs.

RED FEATHER AND
 PATHE FILMS LEAD

Two big features, the Red Feather Romance of Billy Goat Hill" and the Pathe "Where the Trail Led Around Mt. Fiji'', are announced for leaders of the photoplay program at Keeney's tonight. Both films are of an excep- tionally high order and the manage ment guarantees them. In the former Myrtle Gonzales and Val PaA play the principal parts. It is a southern story of unusual sweetness and charm. The other is an unusual story and as 9 photoplay is intensely interestig.
 The big offerings of the week are the attractions promised for Friday and Saturday. The feature of the program will be the Vitagraph drama, "The Alibi," presented by James Mor- rison and a company of capable peo- pie. Then there will be the Universal feature, "The Lie Sublime" in which King Baggot, the eminent star, plays the lead and in addition the Pathe comedies, Maid of the Wild"; Luke Laughs and Betty Prepares For Cool Weather".

Patient Horses, Placid Cows, Etc.

The other evening at dusk, as we strolled down a country road, we passed a stable.
 From within came the thud of a. horses hoofs as he changed his po- sition.
 NWhat a picture that little sound gives you of the whole stable,'' I said. You can just see the patient horses standing there."
 How InstinctiveIy We Associate "Pa-
 tient' With "Horse''.
 Patient horses!' |" echoed my companion, isn't it queer how in stinctively we associate that adjective with the horse? I wonder if it's the same way with other animals"
 What the adjective for cow?" I questioned, and then answered myself in the same breath, and in unison with my companion, "Placid."
 Can you imagine describing a COW with any other adjective, unless you made a deliberate effort to select an unusual one?
 The dog came under consideration ing 1t-can you guess ?-' faithful" The Cat Has No Universal Affective
 On the cat we differed. There does not seem to be any quality, uni versally attributed to cats. I think this is because the cat is the least mals. She is with us but not of us

"BEHMAN SHOW" AT
 GRAND MAKES HIT

Those who have been fortunate enough to see "The Behman Show' at the Grand this week pronounce it one of the best productions of the season and Manager D. D. Scullen does not hesitate to guarantee that this show will drive away the blues of the most tired out business man. An entirely new book has been writ ten for the show by Junie McCree which is said to embrace everything that goes to make up a perfectly arranged burlesque performance. Not only is there highly amusing dialogue and laughab ble situations and scenes but everything is executed in a re- freshingly lively way, and the show is full of "pep.'' Martelle, the always entertaining and amusing female per- senator, displays a nifty wardrobe and his specialties include all new songs especially arranged for this appear ance. Ameta Pynes and her classical dancing with Bert Mccarthy are a corking feature of this years pro- duction. Another conspicuous fea- ture of the show is the Bud Snyder comedy bicycle act with Bluch Land orl<, the English pantominist, who achieved remarkable success with this act at the Columbia house in New York, this past summer. Other principals are Wilbur Dobbs. John E. Cain, Lucille Manion an Blanch Newcombe. The chorus is supplied with an unusually expensive ward
 robe and the sets are all artistic and lavish in every respect The whole show is equal in many respects to the best of the high class musical com edies. There are daily matinees.

REVELATIONS0F A WIFEy

pleasant, spicy little visit we had to- gether at the Aquarium
 He threw Lillian a mischievous glance as he went on, utterly ignor- ing the warning she was trying to flash him. Dickys dismayed glance, and the elder Mrs. Graham's black looks.
 i've been simply desolated all the time we've been out here at old Dickys because his mother hasn't keen with us,' he said, "but now ev- crything is complete. Let me relieve you of your wraps.
 Katie he said sharply, "set a place for Mr. Graham's mother, and bring her some dinner
 "I knew my mother-in-law we'll enough to quail at the temerity of the big man who stood smiling down so confidently at the elderly woman be- fore him.
 Dicky's mother gave him one long stare, then, stepping past him, with the air of having pushed aside some obnoxious insect, she moved over to the table and fixed her eyes on Lil- Han.
 My cheeks flushed suddenly in a sort of apology for Lillian's appear ance. Her dinner gown was cut with the daring which she affects, and her face held the atrocious makeup that so annOys me.
 Are you Lillian Gale?"
 The elder woman's tone was like the snapping of a whip lash.
 Madge Speaks Out
 "I am," Lillian replied quietly

 "Stop.'
 I did not recogize my own voice, so hoarse it was from rage and humilia- ton, that Lillian, who had done so much for both Dicky and me should he subjected to such treatment at the hands of a narrow-minded old wom- an.
 To do both Dicky and Harry Under wood justice they had moved quickly forward as the elder Mrs. Graham be- gan her tirade, as if to silence her, but I knew both men were handicap red by the age, sex and frailty of the speaker.
 I caught a look of relief on the faces of both men as I threw out the word "stop' at her, and knew that they were glad that I had taken upon my own shoulders the unpleasant task of rebuI1ing her.
 My mother-in-law stared at me for a moment as if I had suddenly gone mad, then she said, with an air of plying contempt:
 You do not understand what you're talking about just let me han dle this.'
 l caught my breath in sudden re- membrance of the advice Lillian her self had given me for a crisis like the one before me. You must settle things once for all with your mother ln-law," she had said, Tor you will never have any individuality"

What Happened When Dickys Mother
 Suddenly Came Back Home.

Four school children, caught in a forbidden feast of jam, could not have coked more guilty than did Dicky and I and our guests, Harry and Lil- Han Underwood at the unexpected re- turn of Dickys mother
 Each of us held distinctly in mind ftrmer encounters with her.
 The last time Dicky and I had seen her she had driven away in the Mar yin taxicab, her head held high, her attitude rigid, uncompromising.
 Without saying so in so many words,we had understood that the dust of our freside was shaken from her shoes permanently She had become extremely angry at us when, because of Dicky's opposition, l had refused an offer to take up the very lucrative school position I had held before my marriage. She had wished me to ac- cept it that she might have full sway ever Dicky's house.
 When I had definitely refused she had promptly departed for her daugh- ters home, and save for the briefest Of postcard messages, telling of her safe arrival, we had heard nothing of her since.
 Dicky and I recovered from our as- tonishment at the same time. Our voices sounded almost together as we rose from our chairs and hurried to- ward her.
 "Why! Mother come right in, we are so glad you are back"
 'Yes, I can see your joy overcoming you,'' she retorted tartly. Then as her glance rested on Harry Underwood, who was doing his best to pretend un- consciousness of her arrival, she snap ped out: 'What is that man doing Eere?''
 I had a swift mental photo graph of the last encounter my mOther-in-laW had had with Harry Underwood She and I had gone sightseeing to the Aquarium at the foot of Manhattan island. There we had met Harry Underwood, who, more than half-in- tOXtcated, was paying a wager to some COnvivial companions by taking them to Staten island. Both his manner toward her and his familiar attitude toward me had angered my mother in-laW intensely.
 When she had found that he was the husband of Lillian Gale, the story Of whose romantic association with Dicky she had known and misunder- stood, she had issued an imperious ultimatum, practically banishing the husband and wife from our home
 Harry UnderwoOd's impudence, however, was equal to the occasion He sprang to his feet, advanced to- ward the irate old woman, bent low before her in most impressive bow, and seizing her hand imprinted a fer vent kiss upon her finger tip.
 My mOther-in-law snatched her hand away, her eyes blazing, but MT. Underwood chose to be 1mperturba- bic.

She does not come at call like the dog-unless she thinks there is some- thing in the way of food to be offered her. l have seen my own cat sit per- fectly unmoved under the stove while all the family tried to summon her. She was in full view of her dish, and thus being able to perceive that it was not for the sake of feeding her that she was called, she paid no at- tentiOn. ''AloOf' is the adjective I should apply to cats, but it does not seem to have the sanction of universal usage.
 Are Sheep Readily Stupid?
 Sheep, we both stigmatized as 'stupid." This time the adjective was supplied by usage, as neither of us had any personal acquaintance With sheep. Perhaps some reader friend can tell us if they really are stupid
