ORPlIEO THEATRE.

Enid Bennett, star of ,"The Girl Glory" and "Ihe Mother Instinct, will appear in her latest Triangle play, '."They're Off,, at the .Orpheo theatre today and tomorrow.
 In this picture she has the role of a young girl whose father has by unscruplous manipulation gained possession of an old Southern man sion. Randolph Manners, the young owner, whose family have lived in the house for years, is elected and takes temporary residence in the training quarters of thu estate. Tner the girl meets him and learns of her fathers methods. She is attracted by the dignified attitude of the young Southerner and determines to help him out. By disgusting herself in jockey attire and riding in the most spectacular race ever witnessed in the countryside, she achieves her pur- pose. The picture is said to have many humorous touches of Southern life, introducing company of picka ninies and their mammies. The race track episode has been so staged that it surpasses in thrilling suspense that of any similar action recently screened.
 Among the supporting players are Rowland Lee, Melbourne Mcdowell, Walter Whitman and Samuel Lincoln. Roy Neill directed the production.

aWITHIN THE LAW"


 The screen verson of within the Law" at the Best theater next Tues- day and Wednesday, proves beyond all doubt but that in some instances the limitations of the silent drama are not as great as those of the speak ing stage. This fact is proven very conclusively in Greater Vitagraph's reproduction of the interior of met ropolitan department store during the Christmas shopping season.
