BEST THEATRE.

Manager Simon, is jubliantly an nouncing the best photoplay Doug las Fairbanks has yet appeared in, released by Aircraft, which will be presented at Best theatre today and tomorrow. The picture is based up on original ideas of Fairbanks, which accounts for the rather odd, title, Reaching for the Moon."
 Douglas is somewhat of. philoso- pher, and has always contended that if 3 man can make good in small way he can develop himself to sue ceed in a bigger venture; that the attainment or happiness is really sue cess, and one should take> advantage of existing opportunities instead of reaching the moon."
 The scenes are laid in Italy and New York. Owing to the difficulty of ocean travel. Fairbanks and his company were prevented from photo graphing the scenes in Europe, and Aircraft was compelled to build an Italian city, with romantic canals and picturesque tgondolas, and royal palace. which were constructed in Los, Angeles.

ORPHEO THEATRE.

"In Sunderland" Triangle Riddle picture starring little Thelma Salter which will be presented at the Orpheo theatre today, is said to have the most amazing and intricate setting eff fects ever photographed for the screen.
 The play depicts the adventures of little Thelma and her playmate, Georgie Stone, as they journey thru the mysterious land of Now, where dance the elves and fairies thru great woods of majestic splendor. Caverns of glittering srystal and luminous pearl, fountain showering diamond sprays, great castles with jeweled windows-all are a part of the won derland, which seems to be created from the wand of a fairy.
 While the picture is one that will bring delight to the hearts of all chil- dren, it will also entertain adults, for who does not enjoy the pranks and antics of mischievous kiddies? The story, by l.. V. Jefferson, is woven with thrills, whimsical humor and del icate pathos. It is described as a radiant fabric of fairy dreams. @
 Besides the tiny star, who did re- markable work in "The Crab" with Frank Keenan and Happiness" with Enid Bonnet, there are in the cast Laura Sears, Jack Livingston, J. F. Lockney and Walter Perry.
