KEENEY'S SHOWING
 CHARLIE CHAPLIN

Two days of complete sunshine and happiness is guaranteed to Fox pa irons this week by reason of the par ticularly happy program that has
 been arranged. Head lining the bill today and tomorrow will be the charming Fox favorite June Caprice who apears today and tomorrow ir her latest success Patsy" 8 five-reel feature that Is different. As Patricia Primmell, a care-free, untamed child
 of the west with rowing romping ten- dencies, she suddenly finds herself living in the bachelor apartments of her handsome young cousin in New
 York Her cousin, who thinks that experience has made him wise in the ways of women, soon discovers that in Patsy he has a problem to solve. Her unconventional manners, and naive disposition put the pair of them in many extraordinary situations. AL though there is much light comedy in the picture, 1t has deeply serious side, too, and Patsy, by exposing . willy adventures, adds a few really dramatic moments to the play.
 Another popular. feature which opened at Foxs last evening, ana will be shown tonight and tomorrow is '"The Immigrant" in which Charlie Chaplin makes his latest appearance. To his many followers who have seen his recent productions. The Cure" and "On Easy Street." it is only ne- cessary to say "The Immigrant" is thousand times funnier than either of them. Just imagine the possibilities that would suggest themselves to his sense of the ridiculous when he was placed in the steerage of an ocean liner with a few hundred frightened immigrants. and you may get a faint idea of how funny his latest release is. Among the other numbers on the program will be Knights of the Saddle" a two-reeler replete with daring hair-raising feats of wild horsemanship, and the latest issue of the Pathe News.
 Fox's theater has just contracted for Pathe's big new serial ''The Fatnl Ring" which Is to be released early this month. The star will be Pearl White, the most successful serial ar tist of f1lmdom, who will be assisted by Walter Oland, the Baron Huroki' of Patria.

SIDE TALKS
 The Peacemaker
BY RUTH CAMERON

She's not an awfully pretty woman l and she's not particularly clever, and yet everyone loves to have her about,-men and women alike. And the reason is just this,-she's peacemaker.
 Her voice is we'll pitched and has a pleasantness and a restfulness thread ed through 1t.
 If you are fretting over something and she begins to speak, ever before you sense what she is saying, the tones relax you and make you feel that very likely things are coming out all right, and that, anyhow, fret ting is foolish.
 And of course the lines of her face all slant up and she's comfortably plump.
 But She Isn't Professional Optimist.
 I never see her or hear her speak without having the words, ''Oh heart of mine, I wouldn't worry so" come into the back of my mind.
 And yet she's not one of these ex- asperating professional optimists who are always telling you not to worry and reminding you how much better off you are than someone who is miserably off.
 In fact I never heard her tell any one not to worry or fret.
 She just enters into a situation and says the tactful, the kindly, the gracious thing, in that pleasant rest full way of hers, and makes you feel you needn't worry.
 0no oe nu,o.o ni,o ,-,r>x,obJo l1yo rore
 The first time I met her we were playing cards at charity bridge. My partner was one of those clever disagreeable players who rag their partners if they don't play just so. Our opponent made it no trumps and won the game. My partner glared at me through his tortoise trimmed glasses. We would have set them," he said, 'if you had signalled me by discarding from your strongest suit the first time you had to discard. That's the rule, you know"
 I didn't know, and I felt like a small child who has been stood on the floor in school.
 So you can imagine what healing it was to my spirit when the peace maker said so pleasantly that not even ne Of the accusing tOrtOlSe rlm- med eyes could take offense, Well you know some people think it weak ems your strongest suit to discard from it. Not a Snowy Talent But a Livable One. She's always like that" one of her old friends told me when I mentioned the incident And I have found 1t true. It's not a showy talent, this flair for making things go more smoothly. l but it's certainly an awfully lovable ] and Hvable one. We need more people like that. used to wonder bit why the l Peacemakers in the Beatitudes were l to receive one of the highest re- i wards. I begin to understand.

REVELATIONS OF A, WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

to know how you're going to put over this buying clothes for feminine friends stunt. It's a new one to me-"
 Shut up,' ordered Dicky rudely. l You don't need any pointers on any,
 thing of that sort. But to go on, if l you can manage to keep your mouth 1 shut. I finally screwed up my cour-- | age to ask them to help me out with 1 the pictures. Of course, I couldn't offer them money; they'd turn up their patrician Virginia toes to the daisies at the idea of acting as pro- fessional models, but they were very sweet about helping me out on the score of being studio friends and neighbors.
 T wanted to do something in re- turn for them and I finally hit upon the idea of asking them if they couldn't use the suits and gowns had them wear in the pictures. You see, l prepared for the drawings very carefully and personally selected the gowns and hats they were to wear, because I didn't want a jarring note. Of course, the gowns fitted them and no one alse so after a little demurring they agreed in fact, I fancy they were secretly tickled to death. But I mentally drew the line when I saw that $40 blue hat. It was just the type 1 wanted for the drawing, but I didn't want to see anybody else but milady here wear it afterward. Be- sides, I'm not so flush that I want to reward lady friend models with $40 hats"
 "No?" Alfred Durkee's voice held dry note of incredulity, which knew he was mischievously employing for ho nj 0f ScA 1F Dicky. Then where's the hat now?"
 Tn my studio, you idiot" Dicky re- turned. "I've got to make the draw ing first before I bring it home." Did you bring Miss Fairfax to HambePs with you?' Mrs. Durkee asked, innocently enough. and yet I saw that she scented something still unsolved
 ''of course." Dicky replied.
 You must have been there just when we were. It's wonder Mrs. Graham didn't see you. Why, now I know-she must have seen you-that was what"
 Who Is This Girl?
 Please, Mrs. Durkee," I begged in a low voice, my face flushed with humiliated embarrassment. It was bad enough to have Mrs. Durkee realize that the sight of Dicky and his little artist friend together was the cause of my faint But to have her air her knowledge before her son and Dicky! It was unthinkable!
 She turned the subject with sur prising quickness, while I sat trem- bling with the happiness of restored belief in my husband.
 "Oh, but I'm crazy to see that hat on you, Mrs. Graham" little Mrs. Durkee gurgled. Whats the, mat ter?' as Dicky half-rose to his feet with smothered exclamation.
 We all followed the direction of his gaze. Into the restaurant had come a party of six, three girls and three men, who took seats not far from us, but who did not observe our nearness to them. Edith and Leila, Fairfax and more striking but decidedly less patrician girl, made Up the femi- nine contingent of the party, and upon the head of the third girl rested the hat which Dicky had just said he had bought for me!

what Happened when Mau&e'S I1dt Came to "Grace the Feast" Bought a suit for pretty woman. not Madge?" Mrs. Durkee echoed Dicky's words with a little shriek of incredulity. He smiled at her tolerantly, while 1. amazed at his audacity, trembled with a newborn hope that there might be some unexplained reason for the scene I had witnessed in Hambel 8 when I had seen him buying an ex- pensixe hat and suit for "Edith.' He had described the hat but few moments before, and declared that he had bought it for me. l waited breathlessly for his next words. q suppose I might as well tell you the whole story," he sald leaning back in his chair.
