HAUBER THEATER.

Necessity is the mother of inven- tion. Sylvia Smith proved this when her dream of marrying a millionaire in New York was punctured. She had eloped to the metropolis with a handsome man whO had come to her little country village and who had passed himself off as a man of wealth. But when she arrived in New York she found a wife and several children waiting at the station to greet her prospective groom. So, rather than confess defeat and return to her home tc be laughed at by all of her friends, Sylvia took a chance. She passed her. self off as the widow of a supposed suicide whose hat and coat she found on the docks where she had wandered in her distress of mind. But the man had not committed suicide. When Sylvia was established in his home and enjoying his money-for he was a millionaire-the man suddenly turn ed up. And then-but that would be spelling the story for you. We know
 this, that you will thoroughly enjoy "A Self-Made Widow" the latest World-Picture Brady-Made. See it at the Hauber theater today. Alice Brady

the church had felt great interest In
the man and his family. They inquired
On every hand, and learned several In
teresting Items. The mother had been
taken from the family five years be-
