OPERA HOUSE
Today Only, Miss Blanche Sweet in
"Black- List" The Famous Burton
Holmes -Paramount Travel Pictures,
and Others.

The "Black-List'' Is the name given to
the system by which certain big indus
trial concerns keep track of discharged
employees, making it impossible, through
the interchange Of information, for the
employee to obtain work elsewhere.
With Blanche Sweet as the star. the
Jesse l.. Lasky Feature Play Company
presents on the Paramount Program a
thrilling photoplay in which, for the first
time in the history of the screen, this
much despised system of "black-listing'
is exposed The play Is entitled THE
Blacklist and was written by William
C. DeMile and Marion Fairfax.
Many will discover in this photoplay a
revelations of a year ago when in Colo
RADIO the state and federal troops were
called to quell a war of death between
striking miners and mine guards.
Blanche Sweet, whose power as an ac-
tress of strong and intensely human roles
has increased with her growing populari-
ty. appears in the leading role in THE
Blacklist" Into her hands is given the
fate of thousands of striking miners who
have taken up arms against the strike
breakers. The story does not end with
a thrillings representation of the conflict
but is carried through to a conclusion in
which the authors give a substantial
remedy to the problem of the war be-
tween capital and labor.

Another big Frank Keenan, Charles
Ray picture will be presented by the
management of the Colonial for today
and tomorrow. In The Coward" Mr..
keenan, proved his ability to step from
the speaking stage to the film. and car
~ his dramatic ability intact. Also in
the stepping Stones and in THE Phan-
TOM" he showed his remarkable gifts of
silent expression. Charles Ray, seen as
Keenan's son in THE Coward" appears
in that role in Honor Thy Name" and
they prove themselves to be a combina-
ton of supreme quality. The leading fe-
male role is equally as strong as the
male, for Miss Louise Glaun is the star
to enact that part. Her splendid work
was very noticeable in "Hell's Hinges"
and in The Aryan." In Honor Thy
Name" Miss Glaun has another siren
role. that of gay moth Of the metropo-
lis, who fascinates the young man from
the South and brings about the disgrace

terrible chapter to follow when the proud
father Of the boy learns Of his sons mar

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
BY Frances Marshall
The New Home Note Book

Copyright. 1916. by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate)
No woman knows how soon she may
have a chance to plan and equip a
home of her own. Boarding or living
with somebody else may at the mo-
ment be the only expedient thing to
do. But a day may soon come when
the separate home will be possible and
advisable; and then the housekeeper
wants to be prepared to start it.
SO it is a good idea to keep list of
the things that it occurs to you you
would want in your own home. Write
them out as they occur to you in a
note book and then when the time
comes to have the new home you won't
have to depend on your memory only.
There are dozens of little convent
ences you would wish. things that cost
very little, things that could easily be
adjusted in the building of new
house; yet most of them would escape
you if you did not have them written
down.
For instance, there is the matter of
the right light at the sink. 1t should
be so placed that it casts no shadow
over the sink at night. Very often
the only light in the kitchen is directly
in the middle. and there is sure to
be a shadow of the one who washes
dishes before it.
Then there should be a kitchen pan
try with window in it. In this PAN
try cakes and other food can be pre-
pared for cooking. and the window
adds tenfold to it's pleasantness. In
the long run it is cheaper. too. to have
a window than an electric light fixture.
There should be special place for
the refrigerator, a place which the
iceman can reach without tracking up
the kitchen floor This should be
where the refrigerator will be as cool
as possible, too. and If it can be In
a little cupboard just eff from the
back porch. so much the better.
Then, when you see attractive dec
Grafton schemes, make note of them.
They might otherwise leave your mind
and when it came time to decide on
papers and furnishings you might be
unable to think of anything attractive.
Jot down whatever you think OF
or see in your little home notebook.
Then when 1t comes time to furnish
house of your own you will have
one that is not only convenient and
comfortable, but one that is what
every home ought to be-a perfect ex-
preston Of your own thought and in
dividuality.

No American composer has better
knowledge of the art Of color in or
chestration; none has as great ability
in creating atmosphere in music; none
can produce a more enjoyable operetta
than Victor Herbert at his best. None
can shake such a wealth of delightful
melodies out of his sleeve, and he was
in his best mood when he wrote THE
Princess Pat" which John Cort will
present Miss Ruth Welch and a recog-
nized cast from the Cort Theatre, New
York, after its long triumphant run, at
the Opera House Thursday, Oct. 5th. 1t
is not alone the music, however, that
goes to make The Princess Pat so
agreeable an offering. The book and
lyrics of Henry Blossom are brilliant
and in just keeping with the excellent
score. Then there is Ruth WEIGH and
the rest Of the clever cast, the ensemble
and the stage settings. In the plot
Grace Holbrook is going to marry An"
thony Small, an old duffer with a lot
of money. This to save her uncle from
bankruptcy Schmalz's scapegoat son,
Tony, with his new found. sort of ad-
venturer friend, Bob barrow, appears
on the scene and falls in love with
Grace. Old Schmalz is rather gay
person and becomes infatuated with
the Princess di Montaldo, wife of an
Italian nobleman, when she is on a
visit to Grace. The Prince has been
neglecting his wife and she concludes,
with Darrow's assistance, to teach
both her husband and Schmalz a les
son. Princess Pat enters into wild
Irritation with old Schmalz, driving her
husband nearly wild with jealousy,
and Grace succeeds in getting rid OF
Schmalz in the posture which naturally
follows: elopes with Tony and is mar
ried while the other couples are recon-
ciled. 1t all serves to bring about
many amusing complications and gives
Mr.. Herbert ample opportunity to COM
pose better music than he has written
in some time. The cast will include
Ef1ie Toye. William Dawson, Carl Stoll,
Frank Rose. George O'Donnell, Ray
mond Ellis, Tots Marks, Ethel Dennis
