WEEK IN HARRISBURG THEATERS

very distinct and clearly outlined
moral to the story.
But we must hasten along and see
what Wednesday has in store for
us. According to the announcement
it is THE Blank Crook" so we will
be consistent and decline to diVulge
the nature of the film which draws a
blank for its headline You will have
to see it for yourself, but our candid
opinion is that it sounds very inter
esting and promising. OF course one
would naturally go to see the next epi-
sode in The Strange Case of Mary
Page" on the same day, with Henry
Walthall and Edna Mayo, so nothing
further need be said about it.
"Thc Vultures of Society
one of the most widely heralded
and highly touted motion pictures of
recent months is 1.-The Vultures of
Society,"" in which Lillian Drew. Il. IL.
Calvert, Marguerite Clayton, and Ern-'
est Maupain are leading figures, and
which will be shown at the Victoria
on Thursday of the week coming. The
story a thrilling one, deals with an
orphan girl of the West, who sought
the city to make her own way, only
to be preyed upon by the vultures of
society, who besct the path of de-
enseless girls. There is not duh
moment in the play, and the audi
ence thrills with the little western girl
as she turns the tables upon tho Vul-
lures, reaches the top of the social
ladder wins a fortune and a prince.
on the same bill with the headlincr
is 1.-The Child of the West" a Knicker-
booker Star Feature with Jackie Saun-
dors as the principal.
On Friday "a Woman's Power"
holds sway, with the scene of the story
laid in the mountains of Kentucky,
and later in the Philippines. Murder,
! love, war and peace follow each other
in quick succession. The World Film
Corporation vouches for the picture,
and one must be grateful to them for

and sympathetic young actress, in the
/ stellar position. MOLLY" by the way,

Last of ALL and as the climax to
a week of good pictures, a combina-

Turmoil
The weeks bill leads off with ValIi
Nalli in 4,20O feet of intensely in
citing drama, The Turmoil" 1t is
a splendid drama of typical American
life dealing with two families, one
newly rich, the other poor, but aristo-
cratic. "Bibbs" Sheridan, of the first
family, falls in love with Mary Ner-
trees, of the latter, but her pride pre-
vents her consent to the marriage,
wherupon the young man shows real
stuff and declares his independence
from his father. The admirng old
man is the old block from which the
chip had flown and he takes care of
the poor family by a sale of worth
less stock, and all is happiness.
On the following day, Tuesday, 1.-THE
Price of Happiness" holds the center
of the stage and Mary Boland enacts
the role of the wife of a man IN
moderate circumstances. She is
somewhat envious of her richer

OF Cornell College. The students
have just completed survey in

The report. published by the In

In the three cities in question the

little outside the church routine
and ordinary citizens do not know
what the temperance. organizations
are doing.
.'The chief point noted by the
investigators" the Statesman says,
were:
There is strong anti prohibi-
ton sentiment IN Davenport. Du-
buque and Clinton; temperance
educational facilities are made
quate; lectures and talks are con-
fined almost entirely. to the
churches; public libraries are de-
'ficient in good temperance books"
