AT THE LIBERTY
 THEATRE TONIGHT

Richard Harding Davis pet story, "The Lost House." has been placed upon the screen and it will be shown as the second of the Mutual Master pictures put out by the Mutual Film Corporation in it's fight for the better motion pictures movement. For a number of years announcement of book or play by MT. Davis, who in Belgian recently addad new honors to his record as war correspondent, has been an event in the world of books or the theatre.
 This is true also of the motion pie ture world. Interest in the announce ment of the release of the "The Lost House" proves this. The production of this play was directed by W. c. Cabanne. Lillian Gish as Dosia Dale heads the cast, and she is supported by Wallace Reid. Elmer Clifton, F. A. Turner and A. D. Sears, all Ma jestic players.
 HI tlSudllAAA5 SAC oSOAS oA A~S Lost House this past master of the art of world painting has shown him. self a motion picture adept. None of this distinguished authors ability Ito build up a cumulative,' interest compelling narrative is lost sight of lin handling this drama. The char lacter conceptions have that nice touch of distinction that has won MT. Davis general commendation, and the thrilling action and picturesque scenes in all of the four parts are enough in themselves to establish the plays popularity.
 Dosia Dale's uncle speculates with her money, left in his trust and loses lit. When her twenty-first birthday approaches he tries to save himself by marrying her. She refuses. He locks her up in Dr. Protheo's private insane asylum. They take her clothes and try poisoning her by degrees. She manages to drop note out of l the WluuUW. WHICH u IS uCANOhON ~ is discounted as from some one fn- sane, Ford, newspaper man. be- lieves in it, however, and locates Dosia by playing My Old Kentucky Home'' in the street as a hurdy gurdy till a glove is dropped from a window.
 Telling his pal to bring the police If he is not out by noon the day fol- lowing, Ford, posing as a navy man with shattered nerves, is taken into the asylum. In the night he goes to Dosia's room but is discovered. Bar ricading himself, he holds off Prothe- roe and Dosia's uncle. They in turn hammer at him and bar out police ard militia until the place catches
 fire. In a wonderful scene Ford and Dosia leap from the fourth story through the flames and are caught in the fire net, while doctor and uncle perish. To bring this thrilling narrative to an attractive conclusion MT. Davis leaves the two young peo- pie, not unnaturally, clasped in lovers' embrace.

appear here at the coming May fes-
tival; and, in this, reference was
made to the fact that in May the
artist would appear in Mt. Vernon.
The other places mentioned were all
large cities of the south and west.
During the past week Mr.. w. M.
Coup received letter from Mr.. Alt
house in which he suggested certain
slight cuts in the score of Samson
and Delilah, and expressed great
pleasure in the prospect of singing in
Mt. Vernon.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Althouse sang
in Toledo, and the Blade, in COM
menting ON his work, said that he
possesses perhaps the finest robust
tenor voice in its class before the
public. 1t also remarks that the
singer is only 26, with very engag.
ing personality, and when he enters
he seems to say: "Come, let us have
good time with my voice." and ii
concludes: 1--WE all have it."
