Faced with a shortage of wool. the

ALICE JOYCE SCHOOL TEACHER
Plays New Role in Dramatic Vitagraph
Feature

Her Secret" the Vitagraph Blue
Ribbon Feature starring Alice Joyce
and Harry T. Morey. which was both
written and directed by Perry N. We
kroff, Is the attraction at the Republic
Theatre tomorrow.
This feature is forceful with tensely
dramatic situations and replete with
human interest and sympathetic
touches. Alice Joyce is cast in the
role of a school-teacher at the western
town of Yamps Creek in the first part
of the story and never before was she
more attractive.
Her work with the many Riddles who
play the roles of the scholars is de-
lightful and refreshing and one finds
no trouble in recognizing within her
the ideal mother-which is the part
she plays in her private life.
How the little tots cry when she is
forced to leave them to take position
in the city. Little Helen Connolly
plays the part If one of these scholars
and big, briny tears roll down her
cheeks as she clings affectionately to
the teachers skirt.
And wnen Miss Joyce steps into the
rickety, old stage coach which is to
take her to her train, one tiny lsd
clutches her suit so tightly that a
long rip manifests itself under the
strain.
But the love evinced in the childish
Juggling overshsdows any damage
which has been done in the teacher
eyes snd with tesry smile she bids
her little charges coed bye as the
coach starts forward with an uncertain
lurch.
While the Riddles who play in these
scenes were at the studios they found
a happy retreat in the little stars
dressing room where she told them
fairy tales and little stories about her
own tiny daughter, when they were
waiting for their sence to be staged in
the studio above. In fact it is very
evident that the love they bar in the
picture is truly sinerec lit could not
be duplicated by the most artistic act
ing in the world.

MOVING PICTURE ATTRACTIONS.
At The Colonial Theatre Tonight.

Ethel Clayton in tense story The
Dormant Power" will b. the splendid
attraction at the Colonial tonight. -
James Brent, the victim Of an unjust
law, has sought refuge in wild Texas
village on the Mexican border, aud
there his daughter, Christine, shsres
bis exile. Though Brent urges her to
GO back to civilization. she insists
upon staying with him. Maurice
Maxwell, powerful. prosperous, en-
ergetic man Of affairs, comes to the
village and while out horseback riding
one day, he meets Christine wildly
racing on q hosre. Maxwell is in

turns to her home. Her father leaves
TO see a cattle buyer. Maxwell comes
snd surprises her in the act Of writing
letter 70 firm to ship a piano TO
her to be paid for on the instsllment
plan. Christine says that q piano
would mean much to her in the wilder
ness. "For q woman of your beauty
and grace to bury herself in such a
wilderness is criminal, says Maxwell
"You should have the wealth of the
greatest city at your feet"
In the meantime Carl Randolph. a
drister, whose will power lay dorn ami,
drifts into the town saloon. The
Fourth of July celebration is taking
place. One of the Mexicans takes an
American flag from the wall and
stamps upon it. Randolph, intensely
incensed at this insult to his flag
shoots the man and makes his escape.
Randolph soon reaches Cnristine's
home and instinctively seeks refuge
there. When the pursuing Mexicans
come there, Randolph pleads with
Christine to give him poison, saying
he is failure. Christine tells him to
buck up, saying no man has a right to
acknowledge himself failure in this
free country. After misdirecting the
Mexicans Christine hands Randolph
the money she had saved for the piano
and tells him to go back East and
make good. Randolph takes the
money sying that she has given him an
inspiration and that he is going back
East to make good. He leaves at
once. When Randolph meets Chris

ed. But his Joy was Of short dura-
tion, for she soon Informs him of her
