SWEETEST PLAY" IS
 MATINEE OFFERING

Theodore Lorch and his company last night gave a ghasty presentation of q shastly play, "Dr. Jekyll and Mir. Hyde" at the OTpheum theatre. A description of the production would be useless; everybody knows the story and anyone who say the play as given last night will admit this morning that those who didn't see it pIobab- ly enjoyed their nights rest much bet ter for staying away. Mir. Lorch in the leading role was about gruesome character as ever grovelled on ( local stage, and, although the other members of the cast were good, it was MT. Lorch who made the real impress sion in the play-an impression that will long haunt the audience.
 The Rosary" known as the sweet est play ever written" will be present ed at a special matinee this afternoon and "So Much for So Much," a rollick ing comedy, will be offered for to- night.

"SOCIAL SECRETARY"
 AT CENTRAL TONIGHT
Norma Telnaadge Is Star in a Triangle Offering at the
 Lowell Theatre.

In The Social Secretary" Trian' gle-Fine Arts feature to be seen at the Central theatre today. Norma Tal- madge. is starred in a play entirely different from any of the others in which she has appeared and in a part which is both unique and inter esting.
 She is seen as a beautiful youn wo- man who has to earn her living and is annoyed by the unWelcome attentions of every man for whom she works. After having left half dozen posi- tions because of this persistent perse- cution she answers the advertisement of a woman of wealth who wants a social secretary.
 Before doing so she disguises her self in such a way that no one would suspect her of being beautiful. She pulls her hair straight back, puts on heavy trimmed round glasses. paints some ugly lines Into her face and tops off the general effect with a surpas- singly ugly bonnet and dress. She gets the job and finds in the house. hold where she is employed a son and daughter, the former a victim of bad habits, the latter about to sell herself to a very poor specimen of foreign nobility for his somewhat tar nished title.
 The young man, returning late one night, catches the secretary without her disguise and promptly falls in love with her. Then there are many complications and adventures, in which the girl sacrifices her own reputation to save that of the daugh- ter of the house, but eventuality sue ceeds in saving both the daughter and the son from their respective follies, while clearing her own name in the bargain. Also, she finds a hus- band in the person of the reclaimed youth.
 Miss Talmadge has a role which gives her excellent opportunities, and she makes the most of them. A spe- cially engaged cast includes Gladden. James. Kate Lester, Helen Weir, Eric von Stroheim and Herbert French.

JEALOUSY" WILL BE
 REPEATED AT ROYAL
Leading Man in Suratt Photo
 play Has Much Trouble
 With Hairsuite Adornment A Big Success.

Just before Walter Law began work in Jealousy" which appears again today at the Royal. he was cast in another William Fox picture for which he had been forced to raise a beard. It was the part of Scotch farmer, and Mir Law let his whiskers grow in a rough and tumble fuzz all along his chin.
 The actor was proud of this beard. which he had carefully cultivated for several weeks before work in the photoplay. When he first called at the Cliffside, \. J.. studios. for work in the SUratt photoplay, he still wore the adOrnment. He talked for a few min utes with Director Davis, and then turned away.
 A man standing by the door stopped him.
 That's a wonderful beard you've got, he said. Its an artistic thing. It looks just like real"
 dittI Law was SuTNElStu- tou surprised to answer.
 So the man continued.
 You are an expert al makeup he said. You ought to give lessons in it. One can scarcely see the spots of gum"
 Still Walter Law didn't answer. He just stopped and thought. Here was man. an entire stranger. commend ing him for something he hadn't done. Would il be right to take the credits Still, the man was insulting him by claiming that the thing of which Law was prOudest was unreal Would it not be right to rebuff the man by leaving him in the notion that he was right? Besides. it would be much more interesting.
 Yes" Law finally said. dryly. II think it's a fine piece of work And he swept by the man before any more could be said.
 That's the trouble with life Law philosophical afterwards We never get credit for the good We do. and we're always accused of being false

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Steps to strengthen the federal statutes under which prosecutions may be brought against those committing offense in the United States to further the in terests of the foreign government was hastened in congress today after the break with Germany was announced. Seventeen bills submitted by the de- partment of justice several months ago to facilitate prosecution of such offenders were approved by a senate subcommittee when word came that President Wilson wanted action on them hastened, and they probably will go to the floor of the senate early next week.
 The more important of the measures whose passage IS sought by the ad- ministration because the justice de- partment frequently has found itself handicapped during the past few months by insufficient authority, would make the following provisions:
 Authorize collectors of customs "at any time during war between foreign nations" to inspect any private vessel within American jurisdiction for evi- dence of attempt to violate the sta tutes of the United States or the law of nations.
 Regulate the issue of passports and provide five years imprisonment for their forgery Or falsely representing the facts to obtain one.
 Authorize the arrest and return to the proper place of any officer or man belonging to the forces of a belliger ent who has left his place of intern ment in this country, and make it crime for anyone to aid or entice any interned persons to leave.
 Makes it a crime punishable with five years imprisonment for any per son, willfully and knowingly to make any untrue statement either orally or in writing under oath before any per son authorized and empowered to ad. minister oaths, which 'affiant has knowledge Or reason to believe, will or may be used to influence the mea- sures, or conduct any foreign govern ment or of any officer or agent of any foreign government, in relation tc any dispute or controversy with the United States or with view or in tent to defeat any measure of, or ac. tion by, the government of the United States in relation to such dispute or controversy"
