Thrills, thrills and more thrills are logically introduced. A heart inter est story of real men and incidents of {, logical nature are unfolded in this Kliene- Edison master production and all in all this feature is without the shadow of a doubt one of the most thrilling and interesting of the here- tofore shown master dramas of this brand. Heading the remainder of the all select and feature program will be the Sth chapter of the Vitagraph mas ter film serial ''The Secret Kingdom" chapter play of unusual appeal un- folding a tale of love, adventure and intrigue in which is featured as the co-stars Dorothy Kelly and Charles Richmond neither star needing any introduction to photoplaygoers.

EMPIRE.

'sTIis Fathers Son" the five part Metro wonderplay< featuring. Lionel Barrymore and Irene HowleyN sup ported by an all star cast of Metro players and the thirteenth chapter of the Metro million dollar. super serial, ''The Great Secret featuring the two stars Of the screen Francis x. Bush man and Beverly Bayne will head the all-feature and select program at the Empire theatre today.
 Tomorrow's program will be head- ed by George Beban, the greatest of all character actors in the five part Pallas Paramount master production, '"The Bond Between" a superb pro- duction of an unusual story abound ing in heart interest and thrills and from the pen of George Beban. The story in brief is of Beban as an old French music master who becomes involved in a daring robbery of the National Academy in an innocent eff. fort to earn more money that his son may continue his art studies The clever expose of the methods of cov- ering one painting with another will do much to discourage this sort of crime. The young female assistant of the district attorneys office becomes much interested in the young artist but luckily for all she keeps her mind on her work and helps unravel a bad tangle. See the picture and you'll be sure to enjoy one of the finest of the many excellent llas-Paramount productions. Other features will also be shown rounding out a model foto- play program of the keeney type.

PLAZA

Heading today's program at the Plaza Is the Kiltie Ten. an organiza- ton of famous musicians, recruited from the ranks of the celebrated Kill tie Band. The act is recognized as one of vaudeville's most commenda ble musical offerings and will undoubtedly meet with heart approval from local theatre-goers.
 On, the program will also he found Phfibrfck and DeVeau in "A Case of Soapaline," a clever singing and com edy skit that has met with pronounced success wherever it has appeared.
 Then, too. Eleanore Fisher should have an easy victory in & classy re- pert0ire of songs that are snappy while Robinson and McKissek's odd chatter and comedy in black-face should meet with popular approval,
 It is hardly necessary to go into de- tail in explaining the new Triangle feature "Betsy's Burlar" since the meee fact that 70 charming a young lavorite as Constance Ta1madge is to appear in the stellar role is enough to insure its merit to persons in any way conversant with film happenings
 Besides the big picture several com edy features that are fairly bulging with laugh creating scenes are to be shown.

DAYTON

Whenever the spirits of rebellion flames over the earth the name of Danton is recalled as that of the bravest and most reckless of all revo- lutionists. It was on the fifth of April in 1794, just 123 years ago to- day, that Georges Jacues Danton died on the guillotine, a victim of that terrible revolution which he himself had played so large part in initiat- ing, fostering and directing.
 Having aroused the malicious enm- ity of Robespierre, Danton was hail. ed before the revolutionary tribunal, along with Camille Desmoulins and others of his friends, and charged with being moderate. He was not even allowed to put in defence. Dan- ton had himself instituted the tribun- al which passed judgment upon him. My object" he said, was to prevent a new September, and not to let loose a scourge upon mankind. These Gains know nothing about government" The contempt with which he treated his judges hastened his execution. On hearing his sentence he exclaimed: we fall victims to some contemptible towards, but they will not long enjoy their victory. Robespierre shall fol- low me: I drag him after me-
 In prison he remained calm and unmoved. They think to do without me- he said, ''they deceive them selves. I was the statesman of Eu- rope. They do not suspect the void which this head leaves. As for me, laugh at death. I have enjoyed my moments of existence we'll; have made a noise upon the earth; I have tasted we'll of life-now let me sleep!" In the cart on the road to the place of execution Danton preserved the ut most composure. sneering at the rab- ble which hooted at him, and bidding his companions to be brave. At the foot of the scaffold he muttered 70 my wife, my beloved, I shall never see thee more!" Then he added: "Be myself, Danton; no weakness!'' His last words were to the executioner: You will show my head to the crowd it is we'll worth showing!?

MAUNDY THURSDAY

Holy or Maundy Thursday, which is observed today, is inseparably con- nected with the ancient ceremony Of foot washing. This rite, in imitation of the washing of the feet of his dis ciples by Jesus on the eve of his pas sion, is still performed by many dig nitaries of the Roman Catholic church, and by Catholic monarchs. King Alfonso of Spain annually parti- cipates in such a ceremony, although it is said to be not at all to his taste, and the late Emperor of Austria also washed the feet of poor subjects on Maundy Thursday when his health permitted. It is probable that the young Austrian Emperor will perpe- tuate the custom.
 At the ,t1avatorio'' conducted in the Spanish royal palace the King washes the feet of twelve poor persons, who are afterwards served with a dinner, the King and Queen waiting upon them. This show of humility is car ried out with great pomp and cere- mony. The washing of feet, as con- ducted at royal courts, is a mere pre- tence, as the extremities of the poor folks are carefully washed by servants before the monarch gives them a mere dab with towel.
 For several centuries English mon archs were addited to the foot wash ing rite. On Maundy Thursday the monarch had brought before him as many poor men as he was years old. Tn olden times the poor persons were brought before the king without any previous ablutions, and the ruler got down on his knees before them and gave their extremities thorough and much needed scrubbing. This prac- tice did not appeal to Queen Eliza beth, and she introduced the practice of having the feet of the poor first washed by the yeomen of the laundry with warm water and sweet herbs, af- forwards by the sub-almoner, and fin ally by the queen herself This strange ceremony was last performed by an English king during the reign of James II. King William left the foot wasingto to his alInoner and the cus- tom gradually died out. The only relic of the old custom left in Great Britain is the distribution of Maundy money among the poor.
 The late Francis Joseph was prob ably the last of the worlds mon- archs to perform this rite in real earn est. In his younger days the late Emperor made the annual Fusswas- chung an important rite, and really and truly washed the feet of his poor subjects.
 In the ceremony at St. Peters the Pope washes the feet of thirteen bishops, twelve of whom represent the apostles, and the thirteenth an angel who is said to have appeared to Gregory the Great while he was performing a similar act

LYRIC

When Captain Flint" heard that the Lyric Players were going to pro- duce Treasure Island" he cooked his head to one side and winked knowing ly. "Me for Bridgeport" said the Captain"
 Captain Flint will arrive here early next week and will make the Lyric theatre his headquarters while in town. It was nearly eight years ago that the Captain" first began to talk, having arrived in this country on board a tramp steamer. His first word: was a sailors oath and those who know the Captain say that even now, after eight years of careful training in the ways of the world. the Captain" now and then shows an inclination to lapse into ,seagoing slang. But of course the Captain" will be on his good behavior while in Bridgeport, as he fully realizes that all eyes and ears will be centred upon him, especially by the kiddies-for you see, Captain Flint is a parrot and a very necessary item when it comes to producing Treasure Island
