cOlUMBIA-The week which be- gins at the Columbia with Shoes" to- day portends the most pretentious of the summer. The middle of the seven days will see Madame Petrova returned to the screen in play that is said to have no equal for the display of the talents of that queenly woman of the mute drama. II is called "The Eternal Question" and deals as it's name im- plies. with that much mooted query that has baffied mankind since woman became his halpmate Why the dou- bel standard in dealing with unfaith fulness. Petrova has sparkling ve- hicle 1t is said.
 Following her will be seen a comedy that is the first of the feature to be shown since Excuse Me" which holds the house record at the Columbia for a five reel comedy. This new bid is styled "lt Happened in Honolulu and we are to believe from the film re- viewers that il is some laugh producer. An ambitious American mother is try ing to marry her daughter to a count and the daughter wants to marry a real American and there Is the plot. The mother takes the girl to Honolulu and in this romantic environment all kinds of fool things happen until the real swain arrives but-the story would be robbed of it's charm were too much of it revealed in the summing up.
 For the Tuesday showing which nearly slipped the memory will be screened a first run Blue Bird photo play that Motion Picture News in de-
 scribing said of: Tt takes pretty wo men for successful fotoplay. The passe woman of yesterday in the stage world no matter what she did in the year so and so does not weigh in the balance with the girl of this day who , has youth and beauty. But take three girls all acclaimed star beauties and you certainly have a combination that | is sure fire for fotoplay production. | Tn Tangled Hearts this combination | includes three of the prettiest women | in pictures. and supplied with a sparkling story you have a real play.
 Tangled Hearts" has never been shown here but will come to the Co., l lumbia nevertheless but for the Tues | day date. 1t must not be cOnflicted 1 with Naked Hearts" which showed
 some time ago. It is another story of another period.

According to Coroner J. A. O'Hara,
the boy is sane, a shrewd criminal,
but can, by proper training, be made
into a smart man. This boy must
not be blamed. He does not have the
right development of faculties. How
could he act like other young boys,
small in the top head, in the spiritual
and region of benevolence, large in
the action center above the eyes,
large sidehead and back head, too
destructive and impulsife.
