"ENLIGHTEN THY DAUGHTER"
 AT THE STRAND

Turn on the light, we haven't had enough. At least the last, or the next to the last husk of enlightenment is being pulled aside in new photo play.
 The title is "Enlighten Thy Daugh- ter" a seven-part picture drama. The Strand theatre is to show it again to- day.
 We prefer to call it "Enlighten Thyseif' because we pitied the young fellow who neded education as well as the girl he wronged O thorns of the heart and bitter sorrows, glance at these characters:
 A doctor" -"unscrupulous and dis grace to his profession shame on him
 A woman-"a one-t time opera singer, now caring more for gambling and fnery than for her home''-base snake.
 girl-"the woman's daughter beastliness"-a lily. money and too little discipline'-var- mint
 Mix these ingredients with the be- trayal of the lily and you have sym bolized, as shown on TTe screen, the girls headlong plunge over the preci- pice of Purity.
 Ye gods! what a world Woman, why don't you enlighten your daugh- ter, and why all your snares and snarls? This is the question of the play.

LOUISE HUFF AND JACK
 PICKFORD AT COLONIAL

One of the best picture plays seen for a long time is "Freckles," in which petite Louise Huff and Jack Pickford are CO., starring.
 Louise and Jack simply reach out from the screen and grab hold of your heart strings. You want to get into the &C., tion yourself and help them over the troubled places.
 Freckles is the name by which an or plan boy is known The boy has lost ono of his arms, and what hurts him still more is the fact that his parents, from all rumors he hears, were of a bad sort. He skips away from the asylum and after three years of knocking about gets 8 job in lumber camp. The boss admires the boy greatly and gives him his own name. FreclSles is made the guard of a tract of lumberland called the Limberlost. In this beautiful wilderness he meets the girl, whom he calls the angel. The attraction is mutual, but Freckles has read that pity is akin to love, and he hates to be an object of pity, even if it will gain him the love of the angel. How he saves the girls life and in doing so endangers his own and how the waif turns out to be the son of distinguished Irishman are all beaut1s fully told in this charming and arrest ing story.

 GOss0rd

The word Gossard can mean but one thing-a corset!
 The words "Gossard Corset" bring to mind but one thought-front lac ing.
 Front lacing embodies a world of meaning to wearers of Gossard cor sets and a promise of new health and comfort to the women who have yet to experience the pleasure of wearing them.
 There is young woman in our Cor. set Store who has in the past few months received a diploma in the Gossard school of corsetry. This young woman was taught that a corset has many important func- tions in the life of womankind. Famous surgeons, on living models. demonstrated to this young woman how corsets could be fitted to inn prove every woman's general health and how in certain cases specific ills were remedied.
 By close application this young woman earned her diploma. She is proud of it and the knowledge she gained in securing it. The services of this young woman will mean bet ter health for you-they are at your disposal. (2d Floor)

Would Become American.

Twenty-one years ago a spark OF
patriotism for the land of his adop-
tion was kindIed in the breast of John
Adlung, a German subject, who came
to America in 1879. When the patri-
otic spark took life in December, 1895,
AdIung, who was then a Washing
tonian, made a declaration of his in
tention to become an American citi-
zen, in the District Supreme Court.
Yesterday, after the passing of more
than two decades, Adlung again made
his appearance as a prospective Amer
lean citizen. He made his application
for full citizenship papers, and his
application was signed by his four
sons, all American citizens and all
married. The applicant stated that he
was born in Wurtemberg, Bavaria,
February 23, 1853. He is an engineer
and lives at 419 Fifteenth street
