THE HALF BREED" ,"

Douglas Fairbanks in "The Half Breed,' is the programme of the Belle theatre, Ensley, for today. The mere mention of Douglas Fairbanks is sufficient evidence for the average movie fan to be assured that something good is in store for him. This popular screen star is probably one of the most versatile actors appearing on the screen today. His pep" through out any film in which he appears us unusual and totally lacking in many of the best known film fa- vorites. A Keystone comedy will also be shown, thus placing two very clever films before the pat rons of the Belle for today.

THE DIVIDEND"


 "The Dividend" a problem play introducing a novel theme, with William Thompson as the star. will be shown at the Trianon today. Charles Ray, another screen favor ite, will play opposite MT Thomp- son in ''The Dividend" The screen version of "The Dividend" is very much different from most photo dramas and has the capacity of exciting the curiosity of those who see it from the time the film is first flashed on the canvas until it ends. It is the sort of play that one cannot guess at the outcome after seeing few scenes. In that it is original and facinatingly in- teresting. The acting and direc- tion of the play is exceptionally good

k(NoD HALF ACRE" a
 Y Metro production, in
 which Mable Taliaferro is starred will be at the Rialto to- day. This photoplay is considered by film experts to be one of the finest productions made by the Me- tro company in sometime. Miss Taliaferro is known as the Lit tie Old Young Lady in home for aged and is one of the maids of all work. Her cherry disposition and kindness to the inmates won for her the name of Little Old Young Lady"
 A young novelist in search of ma terial goes to the home where Miss Taliaferro is working and his fond ness for her which is reciprocated is only marred by the fact that the novelist is married. In the mean while he learns that his wife has proven unfaithful and that he is free to confess his love for the Little Old Lady" He does so im- mediately, but the hand of fate interferes in the form of the head matron of the institution who has set her heart on getting the young and handsome novelist Just how the Little Old Young Lady wins out and how she had to struggle to accomplish this effort is shown in an unusually attractive manner.
 RACE SUICIDE"
 Ormi Hawley and Earl Metcalf are the stars at the Majestic thea tre Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the big siXreel drama, Race Suicide said to be one of the strongest pictures ever shown here.
 This feature has met with much comment all over the country, and the following is a criticism of the production from the metropolitan press:
 The subject is shorn of it's sen- suaI flavor in it's treatment and will not offend any who have read the many recent discussions of the theme in the public press, as well as the severe arraignment of the evil by former President Roose- welt. Allegorically, it depicts man in prehistoric ages when his flirta- tions and infidelities were prompted by animal instincts and wild pas sions It follows him through Rome in its decadence through the falsely courteous age of chivalry, with splendid photography in ef- fective locations, to the man and wife of today.

 THE HONORABLE FRIEND"
 Sessue Hayakawa, the famous Japanese actor of international repute, will be seen at the Strand in The Honorable Friend" today. In addition to Hayakawa being one of the most capable screen artists in America today, the vehicle pro- vided for him to demonstrate his marvellous acting is an excellent one. The play deals with subject of great depth and is one of the most highly entertaining film dramas that has made it's appear ance at the Strand for many weeks.
 Sessue Hayakawa is Japanese of the highest type. He was born in Japan but at an early age came to the United States, where he re- ceived two degrees from one of the most famous seats of learning in this country. His interpretation of screen plays Is remarkable.

Narrow Escape

An aged negro was crossing-tender
at spot where an express train made
quick work of buggy and its occu-
pants. Naturally, he was the chief
witness, and the entire case hinged
upon the energy with which he had
displayed his warning signal.
A grueling dissemination left
Rastus mistaken in this story: The
night was dark, and he had waved his
lantern frantically, but the driver of
the carriage paid no attention to it.
Later the division superintendent
called the flagman to his Office to
compliment him on the steadfastness
with which he stuck to his story.
"You did wonderfully, Rastus," he
said. II was afraid at first you might
waver in your testimony"
"Nossir, nossir," Rastus exclaimed,
"but l done feared ev'ry minute that
ere durn lawyer was agwine ter ask
me if NAH lantern was lit"
