TRACE SUICIDE AT
 MAJESTIC THEATRE F F|NAL PERT ORMANCE
Thrilling Sex Drama Again Booked by Public Request. Crowds Are Being
 Turned Away

Race suicide" one of the most remark
 able pictures that has ever been thrown
 upon the screen, will be the attraction
 at the Majestic today. This sensational
 picture dealing with this vital problem
 that enters into the lives of men and
 women has been hailed as one of the
 most truthful and educational pictures
 that has ever appeared before an Amer ican audience.
 Briefly, the real story of the film is | this: A young man of today is swayed by
 the same passions that have run riot iE
 all his forebears from time immemcrial.
 He must have his fling" which does not stop with marriage. Even after we'd lock he still frequents Bohemian circles and he defers parenthood until greater prosperity shall come. Deferred too 'ong
 an accident to his wife prevents thera from ever becoming parents and remorse cvertakes him. As the play progresses, the plot moves swiftly forward, and the audience s carried along in rush of feeling which becomes concrete belief in the lessons of the play. The whole drama is pure and wholesome in sentiment but the truth is told in plain words and the moral pre- sented is of a clearness that will be un derstood by all. No man or woman whu loves humanity, and is concerned for the future of the race, will fail to see it, nor seeing it, will fail to pass along the truth therein contained. Wherever Race SuI. eide has been shown it has not onI.' drawn immense audiences, but it has re- ceived the enthusiastic ndorsement of
 the thinking men of every city in which it has appeared.
 Produced upon lavish scale, presenting
 cast of exceptional magnitude, the pie ture will not fail to please by it's excellent presentation. The photography is worthy of the immensity of the subject ard in cludes some of the most advanced ideas now associated with motion picture pro- auction. Some of the scenes are of sur. passing beauty, while others are equally effective, though in a different way. Miss Ormi Hawley, as the heroine of the
 play, depicts the wife in fault!ess man. ner, her acting running the gamut Of human emotions.
 This feature has met with much com ment all over the country, and the fo low ing Is a criticism of the production from the metropolitan press:
 The subject is shorn of it's sensual flavor in it's treatment and will not of- fend any who have read the maay recent discussions of the theme in the public press, as we'll as the severe arraignnert of the evil by former President Roosevelt Allegorically. it depicts man in prehistoric ages when his flirtations and infideities were prompted by animal instincts and wild passions It follows him through Rome in its decadence through the falsely courteous age of chivalry. with splendid photography in effective locations, to the | man and wife of today.
 "In the climax of the play these twa
 are shown, deciding to defer parenthood | until they find 1t too late and then re morse overtakes them

Beware of Stock Market

In the September Woman's Home Companion writer warns young men to keep away from the stock market He relates his experience and says:
 "Forty-two and $12,000 to the good, think I hear you say. Why complain? Not many ordinary men have $12oop at 42.
 True. But in the first place, am not an ordinary man. That sounds like self-praise, but do not mean 1t so. Less than per cent of the young men e the coNntry are singled out by forsSa9- for the privilege of college education. l, by no merit of my own, was among that little group of for tunes favorites. Compared to the av- craze man may have made an average financial success; but compared to the men who were in college with mo- how does my life stack up?
 T was saving about $500 a year when we were marriedf Five hundred dollars year-it seemed infinitesimal. No man could accumulate competence on $500 year. I must look for some thing more rapid than that Yet. if had gone on, living simply, increasing my annual saving as my salary in- creased, allowing only per cent inter- est, do you know where would be to- day?

As to the humorous side of the Triangle, the laugh genius Mack Sem nett will furnish the inimitable Keystone comedies Taken all in all the Triangle programme has no superior in the current film output of the day in artistic merit <
 ''The Triangle programme, said Man ager Leftwich, appeals to the intelligence of the people. It's directors and actors do not seek mere personal glory, but they try to convey a message in every film. 1t is not the old stuff of creating a situation few moments of suspense, murder 8 false charge, the final freeing of the in- nocent and then the eternal clinch for q happy ending. The Triangle pictures are past that stage of entertainment They are being made by men with brains and the almighty dollar is regarded after the picture is made and not before. Take. for instance.

That picture brought forward forcible message and to my mind it was one of the greatest film productions ever made.
