THE LAST ACT" A
 STIRRING FILM DRAMA

That charity begins at home is am- Cora Hale, wife of a prosperous attor- ney, who falls in love with a charming actress in "The Last Act which will be seen at Fox's tomorrow and Thurs day.
 This Triangle Fine Arts photoplay presents as one of it's principle char acters woman who spends so much time on her public charities that she has not time for her husband or the fril1s and furbeloWs of apparel which every woman loves. It is only when the actress, in a moment of sacrifice shows her how easily she can regain her husbands love that she decided to seek more happy medium between her public activities and her duties as a hOmemaker.
 A highly dramatic feature of the play is the fact that the inspiration for this sacrifice by the actress, as played by Bessie Barriscale, is furnished by this same unhappy woman, who in the early part of the play, befriended the actress.
 In addition to Bessie Barriscale in "The Last Act' there will be a two reel Keystone comedy "Cinders of Love" With Chester Conklin, and the latest chapter of The Iron Claw in which Pearl White, Creighton Hale and Sheldon Lewis are featured.
 Vivian Martin supported by an all star cast of Fox favorites including Harry Hilliard and William H. Tooker will be seen for the last time tonight in "A Modern Thelma". a most magni ficent love story, produced with that finesse all Fox features are identified with. De Wolf Hopper in F'Don Quix- ote" picturized from the famous Ger vante's masterpiece of the same title and Ford Sterling in a two reel com edy His Pride and Shame" round out the balance of tonights program which is a most delightful and entertaining one.

"Correction does much, but encour- after censure is as the sun after a hower."-Goethe.
 That quotation popped into my head the other day when a little whirlwind of schoolgirl impulsiveness swept into her mothers living groom, where we were sitting, greeted us, dumped flung a coat over a chair, and passed on upstairs.
 When she came back into the room her mother greeted her with a sigh Will you ever learn to be more or derly, Margaret? I thought you told mo on your birthday that you were really going to try not to leave every thing whereper you happened to be. And just look at that!'
 The sunshine went out of Margar- cts blue eyes as she picked up the coat.
 But mother did try"
 "Indeed," said her mother, II had not noticed it.''
 What Good Did It Do Her To Try.
 ''That's just it, you never do," famed Margaret. 'I know I've left some things around, but I've come in here every day with my coat and hat and hung them up and put my gloves away in the drawer. This is the first time since my birthday I've for gotten and that's most three weeks ago. And what good does it do me? You never notice it until l forget, and then you notice fast enough
 "Margaret!' said her mother, in tone that could not be disregarded.
 Margaret picked up the books and turned quickly to leave the room,

BAKER AND LA TOUR
 FEATURE AT GRAND

The Hast word in burlesque seems
 to have made it's appearance at the
 Grand theater, Hartford this week,
 and goes without hesitancy in saying that Bert Baker and his Bon-Ton
 troupe is far in advance of any sim liar attraction that has played at the
 popular theater this or any other sea-
 son, since the opening of the North
 Main street playhouse. MT. Baker who
 is we'll known to lovers of burlesque
 for many years has not lost any of his
 ability to entertain his audience, and
 in the role of Benjamin Buttercup, his
 latest character, he fills the bill to
 perfection. The burletta, Copper at
 GA, furnishes many opportunities for this fiat and good natured' comedian to put into play his many capabilities, and when it comes to extricating h 1im-
 self from the many difficulties in
 which the "plot" lands him, he is al-
 ways found on top by his clever man. ner in juggling the truth. As a prince of liars Benny Buttercup outdistances the entire field, winning in a canter. While MT. Baker is what might be termed the star, there are other : bers of the company, which the calcium may be set on during the pro- duction particularly Babe La Tour that bunch of live wires, whose work in many respects resembles Eva Tan gUays. Almo Chuck or Louis Homer may be the proud possessOrs of bet
 ter voices for singing, but when it comes to acting her songs there is only one Babe La Tour. The part allot-
 ed to Miss La Tour is one that is fit
 tingly adapted for her many clever points, and in the closing scenes of the burletta when she renders, "Close to
 My Heart" she departs from the mel oday part for time to Osculate with the musicians.
 Every member of the 'band" is supplied with one Chats alb, and everyone appeared happy except a fellow in the B. H. row who met with disappointment for his efforts. Miss La Tour has appeared at local play house and her work has lost none of the pep that featured her work at that time.
 Other members supplying parts that make the Copper at 64 success are Leo Hoyt, sam Hyams, pretty Lu- ellie Manion and dainty Rose Ford. The troupe departs from the custom of having a number of worn out songs on the program, some new fea-
 lures being contributed during the course. Particularly good are, "The Yankee Doodle Rag" by sam Hyams;
 q Love You Because You're Irish by
 Lucille Manion, Highland Nary by
 Rose Ford, "728', by MT. Baker, "On
 the Mississippi" by Miss McCloud.
 It has been said that the work of
 Mike Feeley and Mabel McCloud, the
 Barbary Coast dancers, was superior
 to any similar team in burlesque, and if the manner in which they did their work last evening is to be accepted as
 criterion, there is no doubt of the truth of the statements. Forced to repeat several times, the dancers were
 finally compelled to quit on account or
 the length of the show, but this did not
 deter the audience in applauding their efforts for several minutes afterward.
 Sam Hyams and Irene Nolan in an Apache dance displayed clever skill.

NO PLACE FOR PAIN

There is no place for rheumatic pains and misery, if you will only fol- low the advice of an old, experienced physician. Dr. Levi Minard prescribed and used Minard's liniment for sore ness, stiffness, swelling and all rheu- matic pains.
 There is no other remedy that can take it's place. It has never failed and is perfectly harmless, economical, agreeable and clean to use, as it is absolutely stainless.
 Minard's liniment, obtained from any druggist, is wonderfully soothing, penetrating and effective in all cases of strains, lumbago, sore joints, stiff ness, sciatica and rheumatism.
