MOVING PICTURE ATTRACTIONS.
At The Colonial Theatre TonIght,

| Jack Pickford and Louise Huff In
delightful story, Jack and Jill, " will
be the pleasing attraction at the Lol-
onial this evening. Jack Ranney is a
young prize fighter who lacks nerve.
Young Kilroy and Frazee in order to
make money. frame up q fight and use
Ranney as the catspaw Kilroy is
knocked cut in the first round and
Jack Is told that he killed bis oppon-
ent. Jack leaves for the West and
here the knowledge that he killed q
man gave him so much nerve that he
very soon proved TO the cowboys his
true worth.
In the meantime Mary, bis sweet
heart, learns that Kilroy is not dead
so goes and forces Frazee to give up
the gate receipts. Jack lands a posi-
tion with the ranch and later Mary
(called Jill) comes to visit him. The
Cabrillo ranch across the border had
been raided so the young son plans re-
venge and in return raids the Ameri.
can ranch. A fake Mexican raid is
placed into practice by the cowboys in
order to scare the young fastener.
he escapes from them and hurries
home and finds the real Mexicans raid
ing. the ranch. He pitches in and
kills the ringIesder and il able TO held
the others until the cowboys arrive
An exceptional story presented ia q
typical Paramount manner, acted ty
two able opponents of the silent dra-
ma, Jack and Jill'' is one Of tbs best
productions seen under this trade
mark. The story in the first place IL
novel. Il contains the contrasting
elements OF pathos and comedy, and
one of its best points is that it is ex-
tremely natural. There is no lacking
in action and the suspense is ably
maintained until the last scene. The
story unfolded is one that will please
immensely. 1t contains thrills, bat
not the cheap variety, and under the
surface there runs true heart and
sympathetic touch that makes the
story quite out of the ordinary run.
Jack Pickford is happily cast as Jack
Ranney. He works evenly and consis-
tently throughout and supplies realis-
tic touches to his part, which makes
the character of Jack Ranney one OF
the best roles Jack Pickford has ever
portrayed. Louise Haff as Mary
Dwyer plays her character in
superbly artistic manner and she sur
rounds her part with feeling Of sym
pathy that readily reaches the atten-
tion of the audience. Jack and Jill''
is q production that is extremely
amusing and pleasing and you will
laugh nightly over the adventures Of
"Jack'" Victor Moore in highly
amusing comedy Will also be shown.
This is dandy show tonight, don't
miss 1t.

rBUFFING" HURTS OLD PLATE.
Modern Method of Cleaning Destroys
Color and Removes Distinguishing
Marks, II is Claimed.

The value of old plate is seriously d.
minished by methods of cleaning at
present in common use. The removal
Of the surface by the process lnown~a
''buffing" not only destroys the beauti-
ful blue color which alone comes from
age and hand-cleaning. but in great
measure also-the makers marks and
owners initials, which signify its pro-
venance and guarantee its commercial
value. A certain lot OF old family sill
yer in good condition was by i'll luck
given lately to be cleaned. 1t IS now
unacceptable, and although having
perfect .shine," the makers marks
of the seventeenth century are almost
undecipherable. Were these pieces ex-
hibited beside some of the beautiful
old silver now shown ut the museum,
the extent OF the havoc wrought on
them would be a surprise. Both for
the looks of old plate and out of regard
for its worth in money, owners should
beware of modern "bufling."
If silver is badly furnished, one or
two applications Of a metal polish used
for brass and copper will, with little
patience, remove the worst of the tar
nish, when silver polish should be
used. Camphor placed with silver

Al The Republic Tomorrow.

Mae Marsh, star who is altogether
of the cinematographic world because
she has never exhibited her talents
anywhere bnt onthe screen, has been
fitted with q play peculiarly her own
in the new Goldwyn production "Sun.
shine Alley" which is to be seen at
the Republic Theatre tomorrow. The
author, Mary Rider, a well.known
dramatist of the speaking stage, has
geasped the needs Of the little actress
in remarkable manner, and in con-
sequence, probably no photoplay in
which Mae Marsh has appeared gives
her so full range in which to demon
strate her charm.
Sunshine Alley is sll that its
name implies, being radiant with opti-
mism and in itself a welcome relief
from the long series of sex plays that
have been presented on the screen for
several seasons past. There is not q
sex note in it from beginning to end
unless one cares 10 put the wholesome
romance between the little bird doctor
and the millionaire's son into that cat
cegory.
The specific claim to public atten.
tion put forth by the producers as far
as the story is concerned, lies in the
fact that Sunshine Alley is a play
calculated TO interest and amuse chill
dren from seven TO seventy. 1t is
averred that there is universal appeal
to the nth degree in the romance Of a
bird hospital as it is presented in this
film.
An ununsal phase Of Miss Marsh,
who has been described as the "girl
of thousand faces" is said TO be in
this new play, and that is her little

number of scenes with children.

WAS REAL MARRIAGE MARKET
Petroqrad Summer Gardens Were Once

All EligibIes.

Business often plays an important
part in the matrimonial market, espe,
cially in some parts of Europe, and an
old-time custom IN Peuograd was once
responsible for the yearly pairing of
of all eligibles.
On Whitsunday afternoon the famous
summer gardens were thrown open for
the marriage mart. Girls and their
mothers, bachelors and their fathers,
the entire population, in fact-thronged
the gardens for the purpose Of finding
suitable partners.
The girls put on their prettiest

NATURE FIXES NO AGE LIMIT
Man Who Lives Carefully Can Retain
Vitality and Endurance Indefi-
niteIy, 1t Is Claimed,

"Three score years and ten," tradi-
ton says, is the span of a human life.
This must be divided into three pc.
RODS TO include preparation, efficiency
and decay, each period lasting nearly
% years. With the athlete, it is still
more severe. Few men at thirty-five,
il issaid, have the reserve vitality and
endurance that they had at twenty
five. Therefore the edict has gone
forth that at thirty-five the athlete
must let up in violent competitive
work and gradually back out Of the
front ranks.
But there is no scientific evidence
Popular Science Monthly. The human
body is simply an assemblage Of cells,
which must be kept active, without be-
ing overstrained and nourished with
out being oyerfed in order that they
may be able to resist the attacks of
microscopic enemies which cause dis
ease and decay. Under favorable con-
ditions these cells will live indefinitely
without showing signs of age of loss
of vitality. Therefore the conclusion
is reached that the ''three score years
and ten" are not fixed by any natural
law. but rather by the conditions un-
der which men live and by their per-
sonal habits. The athletic champion,
then, who lives under the best hys
gienic conditions and observes the law
of temperance in all things and at all
times, should be able to "sit tight on
his pedestal so long as he desires.

trict attorney for Arizona, is one of
the states greatest patriots, and is not
afraid to express himself even
though some of his statements are
not considered good politics. In the
course Of his speech at Phoenix on
the Fourth of July, Flynn said:

in me lies, I pledge you my word

New Stamp Issues.

The number Of new issues in the
stamp kingdom have kept earnest col
lectors on the alert ever since the war
began. The British empire, with it's
numerous colonies, has issued count
less varieties of surcharged and new
additions. Even Turkey has issued
new set of five stamps to mark an
Occupation of part Of Egypt"
In Warsaw was what is known as
the Citizens Post, and the Germans
have suppressed the issues Of their
Nfhmps. AS consequence, these
labels are very rare; it is illegal to
sell them in Germany, and they are re-
garded as Of enemy origin in France,
England, Russia and Italy, and con-
sequently it is illegal to import them.
