How she discovers her em- ployer is being robbed by his partner, how she aids in diSSolving the part nership and how, eventually, although discharged, saves her employers for tune and good name, is presented in a most unusual and startling manner. Scene follows scene 1n quick success sion, and as the head of the firm Is about to be plunged into most inn possible tangle, his private secretary deftly intrudes herself and rescues him from the grasp of ruin-
 One of the most unusual characters in this photodrama is the office boy. His reputation as @ practical joker having become so well known among business men in Los' Angeles that he could not secure a position, he makes his living playing office boy for motion picture companies. It is said he has been discharged more times than any other living office boy. No sooner is he comfortably initiated into new position than he springs some prac- tical joke on the head of the firm, and is promptly bounced His innocent expression won him job after job, but even that fails now, as his cherubic face and auburn hair are well known in Los Angeles business circles.
 The Silent Partner was produced for the Lasky company under the able direction of Marshall Neilan, and the excellent cast supporting Miss Sweet is composed of such prominent artists as Thomas Meighan, Ernest Joy. Mabel Van Buren, George Hebert and Florence Smythe

with a glow of satisfaction, there
 comes to him a woman. a nameless
 woman. She is seeking employment, protection, and from Bradshaw whom
 she holds responsible. Bradshaw, who
 holds himself as judge and jury On
 the moral welfare of his city, learns
 that this woman is from the district.
 and further that she is his own daughter by a woman he had desert
 ed in the day of his youth. Events follow fast, and he who presumes to set himself up as the mentor of his
 community discovers his son a thief
 and worse, one of the parasites who do their share towards building up the very structures of vice he seeks to teal down; he learns that his own daughter must be numbered among the fallen; he sees his own wife and the mother of his children die as the
 result of his relentless purpose; he
 finds himself broken and ruined and
 about to be stoned, and is only saved from taking his own life by the
 name1ess women who has found her
 way into his home. She exerts. an
 influence that is al1-powerful and far-reaching. Through her is brought

The production of 'The Eternal Magdalene,'' the powerful play by Robert Mclaughlin, which will be seen this week at the Lyric theatre promises to be one of the most inn portant events of the present dra- matic season. When originally pre- scented in New York. it instantly prov ed to be not only one of the most successful, but also one of the most widely discussed theatrical offerings seen on Broadway in 8 number of years.
 t'The Eternal Magdalene" is a play of vital interest to every community in the world. The problem with which it deals has confronted the people of every country since the be- ginning of history. In his treatment of the theme the author has shown it's relationship to modern-day con- ditions in a most realistic manner. Dealing as it does with a grave social problem, it is neither a preachment nor a propaganda Its hopes of suc- cess are built upon the interesting quality of its story and in it's dra- matic appeal it is not irreligious or flippant.
 The locale is a good-sized Ameri- can city, and the events narrated have to do with the coming of a great evangelist, the stamping out of the tenderloin and it ultimate effects. Eli jah Bradshaw, one of the leading ci- tizens has been the leader in the movement His wealth has furnished the financial backing for the crusade against the district. The campaign has been successful, the decree has gone forth that the district shall be closed forever that night, it's denizens scattered.

PLAZA

/ After weeks of impatient anticipa- tion, admirers of the cutest and most talented little star in the film firma- ment, Mary Pickford, will have a chance to see her in her latest and most lovable screen production, "A Poor Little Rich GirI' at the Plaza, all this week.
 As Gwendolyn, the. "poor little rich girl" who had all that money could buy but scarcely knew her parents, Little Nary has a role that affords her unlimited possibilities for clever character portrayal. The story tells of how Gwendolyn, who is left en- tire1y in the care of her nurses and servants as result of the social and business duties of her parents, fin ally brings about a big change in the lives of her little family. Through their little daughter the selfish par ents are brought to. realize that each is travelling in the wrong direction and that their real goal is happiness rather than wealth.
 By good fortune rather than by good management the program will also consist of the first of the fam ous series of o. Henry stories, '"The Third Ingredient These unique fea- lures are scoring splendid receptions in the larger theatres of the metro polls. They are Limitations of the best works of O.

Federal Court Imposes Fine of $100 Upon Makers of the Fertilizing
 Scale Treatment.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Claims that the insertion of white capsule and a brown capsule, containing potassium cyanide and other substances, in the bark of fruit trees will kill scale on the trees, led to. a fine of $100- in the feedral courts upon the makers of the A'Fertilizingl Scale Treatment" /" who pleaded guilty to the charge of misbranding and adulteration. This fine, reported in a recently published notice of judgment was imposed in the case of the United States versus Albert D. Kleckner, Maybelle B. K'cck- ner. and Emma Kleckner (Fertilizing Scale Co.,) Allentown, Pa, brought under the Insecticide act of 1910 at the instance of the United States de- partment of agriculture in the East ern district court, Pennsylvania.
 The department tested these cap sules for several years on fruit trees to determine whether their use had any detrretn effect on scale and wheth, CT the material also actually fertillzed the trees as asserted by the makers The department found that the cap suels did not kill scale and did moi fertilize the trees. but on the con trary, injured the tree causing larg cankers through which rot. fungi may enter and finally destroy the tree. The departments tests were further sup plemented and confirmed by the scien- lists of the department who visited many orchards in Maryland and Pennsylvania and studied the trees which had been treated by the agents of the company. ,.,
 The "Fertilizing Scale Treatment" has been advertised and sold also as a remedy for other insects and for various tree diseases. Department specialists fail to find any reason to believe that the potassium cyanide and other substances inserted in trees in capsules have any value, whatever, in controlling plant pests.
