The perturbation of Augustus
Thomas Strongly dramatic story, The
..r,. ,., W,i.t,ehing Hour"
Hour" at Regent Smith in the leading
role, is one of the
biggest photoplay events of the year
and Will be presented exclusively at the
Regent Theater to-day, tomorrow and
Wednesday. Those who saw the play
on the legitimate stage will remember
that the central figure of the story is
James Brookfield, a Louisville gambler,
who is endowed with mind capable of
swaying weaker intellects around him.
The secondary character, Clay Whipple,
is a boy who has inherited an unreason-
ing and uncomfortable fear of cats
eye. The big scene of the drama comes
when Brookfeld, to save Clay from
paying the penalty of a murder he COM
mitted while temporarily insane, influ-
ences one of the Jurors to hold out for
a verdict of mot guilty" c. Aubrey
Smith takes the part of Jack Brook
field. the man whose singular telepathc
power furnishes the basis of the story.
His personality is pervading, and his
presence and pose the kind that centers
all interest upon himself. The situations
in THE Witching Hour" are tense and
one can never tell what is to follow. 1t
is replete with startling innovations and
incidents that belle description and, be-
ing a virile. red-blooded drama, holds
the attention of an audience from the
fash of the Introductory title to the
finish.

Chicken Casey" which will be seen
at the Colonial Theater to-day only, is
the latest play from
Dorothy Dalton the Thomas II. Ince
at the Colonial studios, starring
Dorothy Dalton.
MISS Dalton appears as an actress,
MaviS Marberry, who reads best seller
by popular author and decides that
she wants to play the leading role in
dramatization of the book. The part
Is that of girl of the slums. The
author, having seen Miss Marberry only
in very different roles, deems her unfit
to play the character. The actress
makes unique way to convince him
that he is wrong. Dancing With
Folly" complete story in two parts
from the great series "Is Marriage
Sacred"' will be the added attraction
of the program. Tuesday and Wednes-
day the Metro Film Company will pre-
sent Ethel Barrymore in "The Awaken
ing of Helena Ritche," adapted for
the screen from the book of the same
name.

As the attraction at the Orpheum to-

The of constructive patriotism by

given by a company, includ-
ing Madame Yorska, pupil and prote-
gee of Madame Sarah Bernhardt, under
whose direction the entire play has
been produced. Leonora Chippendale,
formerly leading lady with Il. H. Soth-
ern, and Edmund Gou1ding, of His Maj
esty's Theater, London. are among 9TH
ers OF especial prominence in the large
company of fifty people. Although the
action of the play passes in an un-nam-
ed country, the message and purpose of
the piece have an application to
America and the spirit OF patriotism
which runs through the entire work
is certain to find ready response.
