AT THE IASALLE.

Tyrone Power. the talented Eng

ance in the Bluebird program as CO.
star with Lois Weber in a psychology
ical drama of crime entitled The
Eye Of God, which will be shown at
the I4aSalle as today's principal at
traction. 1t is a five reel story and
carries an intensely interesting plot.
Aside from contributing the literary
factors and acting in cO-prOminence
with Mr.. Power. the Smalleys. who
will be remembered for their excel
lent work in the production of "Hyp-
ocrites' and other memorable
dramas, made the present produce
ton, thus giving Miss Lois Weber
Smalley superabundance of
credit for the feature. While the
play in no manner resembles John
Needham's Double" which brought
such great success to Mr.. Power
earlier in the Bluebird program,
The Eye of Cod carries the same
atmosphere of psychic crime, plus
mystery in connection with the ac-
tual preparation of the deed, and it
will be found exceedingly interest
ing. The Brady cartoon comedies
will complete todays program.

Why is THE STORK SO PARTIAL TO THIS
PENNSYLVANIA THOROUGHFARE?

Towanda, Pa, Jan. 4.-This town
is all stirred up over the first real
mystery it has ever had!
The seventh pair of twins to be
born on Union st. has just arrived at
the home of Samuel Cullan.
Union st. is not half a mile long
and therefore everybody is seriously
asking and wanting to know
Why the stork is so partial to this
particular street?
Local physicians having failed to
explain the mystery, the mayor has
addressed a communication to DR..
Samuel g. Dixon, state commission
er of health at Harrisburg, asking if
he or anybody in his department can
explain just why nothing but twins
are born in this short thoroughfare.
Union st. is in one of the driest
and healthiest parts Of town and a
survey conducted by local authorities
has revealed that persons living in

the street average remarkably high
health records. AS far as most of
the residents examined can recall
they themselves in addition TO en-
joying particularly good health all
come of strong, healthy stock.
The authorities seized upon this
as being the logical explanation of
the performance of twins, but this
theory was discarded when one of
the last women to be questioned, a
Mrs. Geo. Foran, was found to have
been practically an invalid up to the
time of the birth of twins year ago.
Since then her health has improved
rapidly
Atmospheric tests have revealed
that the air roundabout. Union st. is
somewhat freer from SCOT than in
some other sections of the town but
does not differ in any other partic-
ular from the atmosphere in other
streets. Therefore the twins can

S1,500). This can be taken as a
pretty fair estimate of stars salaries,
with the exception of Mary Pickford,
the highest paid actress on the
screen, and a few others, mostly
stars from the legitimate drama, be-
cause their names bring great pres
hge to the movies. -

goes for clothes needed in the parts
she plays. Griffith is the only pro-
Queer who furnishes wardrobe to his
regulars. The clothes the star buys
must be the real thing, You can't
fool the camera with cheap fabrics.
The clothes must have the style; they
must be ultra-modern.
An actress must anticipate the
styles in advance. frequently the
picture she is appearing in will not
be released for months, therefore the
star must have gowns and suits made
for a future style. If the scenario
calls for Paris gowns, nothing but
Paris gowns will do. They cost reg
ular money.
