PICTURE AT \
 LYCEUM THEATER

Imagine being informed in Belgium during those momentous weeks dur ing the year 1914 when Europe suf- fered its first stroke of war-madness, and the German tribes swarmed from all directions in their mad rush for Paris. Imagine being caught with the passport of 8. Russian spy instead of your own, which would proclaim to the world that you were an Amer ican citizen. Imagine being obliged to marry a man you had known two days, in, order to save his life. It takes quite a vivid imagination to bring yourself to the realization of these mixed emotions, but that IS just what Ruth Sherwood, an Amer ican girl went through. Further, she became mixed into the widest imag- inable vortex of strife with stone cold-hearted Huns on every side, with only this stranger er-husband to assist her.
 Ruth Sherwood Is the leading char acter in Billie Burke's latest motion picture success, Arms and the Girl" which is at the Lyceum today and tomorrow, and Miss Burke herself portrays the part in a manner all her own. Once this picture Is viewed all wonder as to the reason for the little stars vast popularity ceases, and one comes to the realization that she is real, true actress of the highest calibre. Miss Burke perfect 1y depicts this complicated role in 8 sympathetic manner. If she were your own sister or the next fellows sister. probably the girl across the street, you would never let her under go the humiliation she is obliged to suffer and when she can get your sympathy to such degree that you clench your fist and mutter a few impohte phrases under your breath at the overfed Germans about her, why, the. girl is an actress. That Is Miss Burke-she gets you in just that way. She brings home with a sudden shock the realization that she may be your sister,. or your pal's sister. and that is why New York proclaimed Arms and the Girl," the greatest pic- ture that has emerged from the war with war conditions az it's theme.
 The story brings out the tactics used by the Germans in those early days when Belgium was overrun through military necessity" and thousands of defenseless citizens of neutral countries were handled uke as many cattle. The experiences of this American girl and Wilfred Fer rers. played by Thomas Metghan, at 1 the hands of tho Germans form the basis of the play, but 1t is the world wide appeal that this picture makes that gives 1t its place atop all others
 On the program will be a Keystone comedy, the Lyceum Weekly, and sew
 eral other pictures comprise an ex-
 cellent program.

ACTRESS AT FOX'S
 PLAYED WITH BUNNY

When Mary Anderson, Vitagraph's youthful and talented star, first told her father she wished to go into nov ing pictures, he demurred, preferring she continue her studies. His final decision was she should have one try at 1t and she must make good then or never. And he was to be sole judge Rather a severe first test for & young girl, but Miss Anderson was deter mined and played her first part in support of John Bunny, and did SO we'll that even her father conceded her talent and permitted her to make permanent arrangements with the Vitagraph company.

parted after my quiet assurance that everything would be cleared out in an hour, Katies lamentations were high and loud.
 Look at my jelly glasses, joost smashed all oop!" she walled. And my beeg yellow cake bowl!' her voice rose almost to a shriek. "Oh. Villum, dear Villum, wy you not shoke him till hees vinap-pego smash like my jelly glasses?"
 ''I'd go and finish the job up now. if Mis- Gramie would let me-" William said with wistful grin. And vola- tile Katie, answering the grin with one of her infectious chuckles, said glcefully, with an adoption of one of Dickys slang phrases:
 coat.''
 Come, Katie" I said sharply. you mustn't encourage William in any such foo;ishness. And William, re- member" faced the poor old fellow with all the sternness could muster, you must never talk that way again about killing people. Don't you know that you could be put in prison for such language? I am very grateful to you for coming to my rescue in the way you did, but you must promise me you'll never try to choke anyone again."
 The Cold Fireplace.
 'I won't never choke nobody unless they hurt you, Mis- Gramie,'' he said stubbornly, and with that had to be content, and turn my attention to hur- rying the last loads of household goods from the Brennan house.
 So we'll did Katie and Jim and wil- liam work that whole quarter of an hour before noon the last piece of fur n1ture was on Jim's wagon, the last box on Williams push cart, and Katie safely seated in the taxicab guarding my most precious posses sions. Then 1t was that with a sudden impulse I walked into the denuded and deserted living room and up to the fireplace in which not even the ashes of fire remained-it being a hobby of mine to leave a. rented house or apartment absolutely cleared of dust, dirt or rubbish.
 What visions passed before my eyes in the short minute that stood there bidding mute farewell to the house, the walls of which had seen so much of joy and anguish in one short year! I recalled the hopes with which I had furnished up the old place, and Dicky's apparent delight in my exper- iments. But with the vision of Grace Draper's pictured face before my eyes, my last gift from the old house, felt that the dark and cold fireplace 1tly expressed the condition of my heart

How Madge Bade Farewell to the Old House.
 A little shiver went over me at William Trumbulrs grim declaration: II don't let nobody live what hurts you"
 My alarm was not lessened by the old fellows partly ludicrous. partly pathetic explanation that you bin jest like my old mudder to me, so kind and good" William was almost if not quite old enough to have been my father. but his stunted brain made him nothing but a child, a simple child at that. I knew that all the love his life had ever known had been centred in his dead mother. and his comparison of me to her was the highest his brain could conceive.
 It was dangerous thing to have aroused such an emotion of grat tude in so primitive a nature. How dan- gerous I saw by the ferocity with which he had attacked MT. Brennan when he thought the intoxicated man was about to strike me. What he would do if any one really harmed me I didn't dare to contemplate. {, Nor had I time for an* reflection on what might happen in the future. The present dilemma promised to engage whatever attention had to spare. Granted that our drunken landlord had come upon the prem1- ses an hour before his legal ri7ht to do so, and had occupied himself in breaking crockery. still the fact re- mair1ad that he had been almost stranded by a man in my employ, and feared the violence of his anger when he should be able to speak again.
 But to my astonishment my doughty landlord proved good loser. The fight evidently had cleared the fumes of alcohol from his brain, and I think the realization he must have had that he had almost struck a woman, humiliated him greatly. At any rate, he advanced toward me, saying with a rather shamefaced at tempt at humor:
 Mr. Brennan Apologizes.
 Well, Mrs. G-r-raham, 'tis a foine, savage watchdog yez have there. But he'll be endin' in tn electric ohair-r. or me names not Br-rennan. An perhaps I've been a bit pr-r-ernature in gettin' here. I'll be goin' away now fer an hour, an whin I come back yez will probably be out?"
 Ills tone was a question. I was too glad that the scene which had so nearly approached tragedy had be- come commonplace, to make any pro- test at the damage he had done my kitchen ware. But when he had de-

GEORGE BEBAN AT
 KEENEY'S THEATER

George Beban, the celebrated Morosco-Pallas star, who will be seen at Keeney's theater today and tomor- row in one of his famous Latin char acterizations, ''The Cook of Canyon Camp" is seen as Jean, the French Canadian cook, who presides over the kitchen in the lumber camp near Quebec. He has an established repu- tation for his wonderful "fapjacks" and feeds them to the men on all oc- casions. Jean is the life and anima- tion of the camp and as soon as his work is done in the morning runs down to the beach with his mirror to signal Marie, his sweetheart, who lives across the lake with her father, and every night he paddles over to call, always pacifying the father with a plug of tobacco. The story was filmed high up in the California mountains, and, although taken in the spring the company was caught in blizzard and for days were cut off. from communication with the outside world. The supplies got low and MT. Beban had to carry out his part in reality by cooking "fiapjacks" for the other members of the organi- zation.

 Another interesting attraction of the show is the formal opening of the new Fables in Slang, written by George Ade, that well-known and popular slangster, whose works have been appearing for the last few years in all of the leading f1ctional period icals. Fables in Slang are two-reel comedies with a delicious vein of satire and wholesome, original humor.

Would like to get a story in book form that I read as a serial about eight years ago. The title was "Targan of the Apes.'' It dealt with an English officer, his wife and infant son. shipwrecked and cast on shore of wild country inhabited by apes. The father and mother died, leaving the infant son. He was dis covered by the mother ape who fed him and he grew to manhood. Also I-would like to find the words and music of song I heard nearly forty years ago called "The Faded Coat of Blue."
