 AT THE 0DE0N ONE

 Than Previous Efforts

Manager Marvin Wise of the Odeon One has booked two live ones'' for this week. They are, "The Secret of the Submarine" and 'The Fireman" with the inimitable Charlie Chaplin.
 SECRET OF THE SUBMARINE ! Today the Odeon One begins that stir ring film serial. "The Secret of the Sub- marine" with Tom Chatterton and Juanita Hansen in the leading roles.

 THE FIREMAN"
 On Wednesday. and Thursday, The Fireman with Charlie Chaplin, is booked at the Odeon One.
 Charlie Chaplin seems to have found himself congenially located in his new Mutual surrounding. His second produc- tion is every bit as good as 'The Floor walker and the Chaplin fans will find their longtime idol in his old form
 In this subject there is more than the usual allowance of "rougn stuff" A great deal of it is comparatively new, but the older stuff is somewhat glorified in the eyes of the Chaplin fan by the fact that it is Charlie doing it.
 Charlie is the driver of a fire engine He is constantly in hot water with the captain for his failure to answer the alarms and his unique methods of serv- ing soup.
 The captains sweetheart visits him. in company with her father. While there. father arranges that fire shall start in his house, and the fire company is to neglect the alarm, thereby allowing him to cash on his insurance
 ...11a f, ran1 and while it is there father starts his own private blaze. ignorant of the fact that daughter is up in her room. When he discovers her plight he races after the fire department, but nobody responds except Charlie, who rescues the girl by bravely scaling the facade of the house, and bringing her down on his shoulders. He is forgiven many past shortcomings, and he and daughter walk off arm in arm.

Rich Iron Deposits Found

Tsinanfu, May 29.-(Special )-Rich beds of iron ore have recently been discovered
 at Laiwuhsien in Shantung province,
 and government experts are now in-
 vestigating the deposits. Laiwu is about
 30 miles east of the railway connecting
 Tienssin and Ranking and about 20 miles
 from the important town of Taianfu. A
 nasty survey of the iron deposits resulted
 in an estimate that two hundred million
 tons of iron ore of a hige grade are
 available The government hopes to
 utilize this ore at the Tehchow arsenal in Shantung province
 Thursday. It will be remembered that Miss Hopper made her film debut in By Whose Hand?" which was accorded
 great praise by the trade reviewers in New York city, who commented very literally on her remarkable showing on the screen. In this picture, she has ann pie opportunities to show her vast versa tility, and she makes the most of each opportunity.

 Many Tire Troubles

Improperly adjusted wheels are very frequently responsible for the premature wearing out of tires, says John P. Bowl ing, manager of the Birmingham branch of the Fisk Rubber company.
 If wheels are out of alignment they travel at an angle. friction increases and treads wear quickly. Fifty miles with wheels out of true will sometimes wear new tire badly
 There are many causes for improper alignment and most of them can be easi- ly corrected.
 All tire dealers and many garages have wheel aligners and it is but a minute s work to ascertain that wheels are run ming properly.

This installment of this notable serial will be shown next Sunday, as well as the third installment, Other features on the Majestic pro- granlnre this week will be dramatic Will liam Fox production and Klenk's or chestra.
 POWERFUL LESSON
 The powerful lesson which is brought home by that marvellous photo drama, "Where Are My Children?' is so master fuI, so dignifed, delicate and yet so convincing, that one wonders what mas ter mind directed such a picture. And it is interesting to note that a woman is responsible for this story, which United States Senator Stone calls modern Bible" That woman is none other than Lois Weber, in private life Mrs. Phillips Smalley one of the foremost writers and producers of the American screen.
 Mrs. Smalley is practical idealist. Her Ideal is to bring the screen into closer relation with life-to make true photo plays Her personality suggests mex haustible vitality a clear, active mind and the determination of a woman accus- toned to dealing with men and beating them at their own game. In accounting for the human touches so frequent in her Work-the subt bits of sympa thetiC characterization-iti is worth knowing that she came in close touch with interest ing phases of life during her most i'm questionable years before she became ar actress. q did missionary work in the slums of New York and on Blackwell { Island" she explains, especially among poor girls, and l know them and theil problems.
 Above all Mrs. Smalley is womanly woman profoundly concerned with a sa- cred mission: that of making her art 2 source of enlightenment and upift. Ane she has the courage of her convictions She saw the need for a great lesson such as Where Are My Children" would bring home to the hearts of thinllns people. and with consummate delcacy ant infinite tenderness she has wrought thi: wonderful picture which Father Hughe: declares "A great and proper argumen for the good of humanity"
 THE SYNOPSIS

Brief 1y, the story is that of District At torney Walton. who. though adorins children, is childless, and of young and beautiful girl, Lillian. the daugh- ter of his housek eeper, who became the victim of the momentary infatua' ton of Mrs Walton's rake of broth CT; of Mrs Walton. who denied the sacred privilege of motherhood, and Of Dr Malfit, the physician, who by the violation of the ethics of his pro fession constantly turned back the It.

THE DEVIL LOSES HEART

HE DEVIL LOSEo dEAnl
The Devil sat by the lake of fire
On pile of sulphur kegs;
His head was bowed on his breast,
His tail between his legs.
A look Of shame was on his face,
The sparks dripped from his eyes;
He had sent his resignation to
The throne up in the skies.
"I'm down and out" the Devil said;
He said it with sob.
There are others that outclass me
And I want to quit my job.
He'll isn't in it with the land
Tha lies along the Rhine;
I'm piker and has-been,
And therefore resign.
One ammunition maker with his
: bloody
Shot and shell
Knows more about damnation
Than all the imps Of He'll.
Give my job to Kaiser Wilhelm,
Or the the Russian Car;
Or King George, or ]. P. Morgan
g Or some other such man Of war.
I hate to leave the old home,
The spot / love so well;
But I feel that I'mnotup-to-date
In the art of running He'll.
