Smiling George Walsh Has
Warm Time in This One

Possibly the most pleasing picture
that the athletic and smiling George
Walsh has so far contributed to the
screen, will be seen at the Sun theater
the last three days of this week, when
the William Fox play, THE Yankee
Way" will be presented. 1t is full
OF fast moving scenes and comedy
strain that will prove to be the best
that has so far shown up in his pro-
duction. The action starts in Chicago
and shows smiling George to girl in
having resented an insult to girl in
a cafe, who had attracted his eye,
with the result that the cafe was
almost a total wreck. His father, a
western cattle king, gives him the OPP
ton of either going to foreign coun-
try to look liter cattle concession
he has there, or returning to the
ranch as a cowboy at $50 per month.
He chooses the foreign country, and
finds there the girl who had attracted
his eye in the Chicago cafe, is prin-
cess, with tottering throne. He de-
cides to help the fair lady out OF
the difficulty and the manner in which
he does will please and entertain. He
has his companions of course to help
him out and they are certainly
mixed lot, including as they do, the
American consul who had been APP
pointed through his father to keep
from marrying a chorus girl, negro
who had ben left by Barnum &
Bailey and crook he had picked up
lust before sailing.

Theda Bara to Give Us
Cleopatra in a Fox Feature

To, the public of today, there was
only one Cleopatra. The Siren of the
Nile could only be done by Theda
Bara--so at least, thought Will
lam Fox-.and forthwith, the tragic
life of the serpent of the Nile has
just been made into a magnificent
super-picture, with Theda Bara in the
title role.
AS a matter of fact, however, the
great Egyptian queen, whose fascina-
tion overthrow an empire, was the
seventh to bear that name. The first
Cleopatra was daughter of Anti
ochos, king of Syria, and she
married Ptolemy v, great-great-
grandson Of the founder of the house.
Cleopatra VII, the most noted Of
those who bore the name, was a
daughter of Ptolemy XIII, nick
named "Auletes," or the Piper. This
pseudonym was bestowed on the
Pharaoh, because he found his chief
amusement in playing the flute.
The great queen was the third child
of "Apletes." She, in turn, had four
children, one the son OF Caesar, and
the others of Mark Antony. The
name Cleopatra is from Greek word,
which means, "Glory Of Her Race"
1t is spelled in hieroglyphics, "Kleo-
padra."

Japanese Schoolboy to Have
His Turn on Screen Now

Millions OF readers who have fol-
lowed the screamingly funny antics
of Hashimura Togo in the magazines
and newspapers Of this country will
be interested in the prospect Of hav-
ing this quaint and original character
visualized for'thc screen by so popu-
lar and talented an actor as Sessue

Japanese actor.
Being native Japanese, Hayakawa
has impaired to the role, of Togo
all the charm OF the original, and in
order that the quaintness of his
language may not be lost through
the silent drama" presentation, the
titles are taken direct from Wallace
Irwin's own stories and "thc honor

"Hashimura Togo" will make his
most "honorably reverend debut" at
the Strand theater on Tuesday and

The Respected Citizen.

Sounderby was most respected resident
Of our suburb, and made friends with eyery-
body. As he was putting up for the borough
council he made tour of the various mu-
nicipal establishments. including the local
police station.
The superintendent had treated him with
great courtesy and had shown him every.
thing OF interest, on which Bounderby dilats

Next day he was taken by his little son
for ride on the trolley car, which was
crowded with local residents
As the car was passing the police station

oh, dad! Is that the police station where
the policeman took you last night?"
Every person on the car turned to stare
at Bounderby--and he was not elected to

TT LOOKS like Anita Stewart tried to
i slip something over on the Vitagraph
1 company, from all reports. She thought
her contract had expired, so she signed
contract to appear with another concern,
and, of course, with a big increase in salary.
When the officers of the vitagraph COM
pany learned of this they at once obtained
a restraining order In the form of an in
junction, ordering her and the persons as
ISOLATED with her from announcing that she
Is no longer in the employ of the Vitagraph
company or In the employ of any other
company. Her contract with the Vitagraph
was cumulative, as far as the expiration was
concerned. and called for any lost time to
be made up. Inasmuch as she has not been
working for several months, the time is at
the present time extended until 1913, and
she must give the contracted time to the
Vitagraph company before she can appear
with any other company.

MECHANICS Offer
SERVICES TO navy
Skilled Workers Find Service of
Uncle Sam Attractive.

Records OF the navy recruiting sta
ton show that during the past week
three out of four men who enlisted are
skilled in one trade or another. WASH
ington coppersmiths, machinists, and
carpenters find the navy a very at
tractive service to join, according to
Lieut.. L. E. Morgan, recruiting officer.
because Of the good salaries skilled
men receive. A first class mAchinist
gets $50 a month clear money, besides
food, quarters, and clothing.
Illustrating some Of the advantages
of remaining in the navy, Lieut.. Nor
gan said that only a few days ago he
was chatting at a street corner with
a member of Washington's, police
force, who was once q shipmste with
Chief Yeoman Pape, Of the local re-
cruiting office. The patrolman, who
enlisted thirty years ago as boy OF
l6, served thirteen years in the navy,
and wishes now that he had remained
in the service. II he had stayed in
the service, he pointed out, he would
be retired now and getting more
money than he receives from the po-
lice department.
