GEORGE BEBAN AT
KEENEY'S THEATER

George Beban, the celebrated
Morosco- Pallas star, who will be seen
at keeney's theater today and tomor-
row in one OF his famous Latin char
acterizations, The Cook of Canyon
Camp" is seen as Jean. the French
Canadian cook, who presides over the
kitchen in the lumber camp near
Quebec. He has an established repu-
tatfon for his wonderful "fapjacks'
and feeds them to the men on all oc-
casions. Jean is the life and ANNA
ton Of the camp and as soon as his
work is done in the morning runs
down to the beach with his mirror to
signal Marie. his sweetheart, who
lives across the lake with her father,
and every night he paddles over to
call, always pacifying the father with
a plug of tobacco. The story was
filmed high up in the California
mountains, and, although taken in
the spring, the company was caught
in a blizzard and for days were cut
off from communication with the
outside world. The supplies got low
and Mr. Beban had to carry out his
part in reality by cooking "fapjacks'
for the other members of the organi-
zation.
Charlie Chaplin, the highest sal
aired comedian in the world, will be
seen in his latest comedy, The Ad-
venturer," and is, without a doubt
the best ever. Charlie keeps the
audience in roars and constant laugh
ter for the thirty minutes he is on the
screen.
The Keeney Weekly and Other
features, with three high-class vaude
Vile acts, conclude the program.

Is Dicky Going to Evadc His Personal
Duty?

Duty?
"Well! It's come, Madge!''
The solemnity of D1cky's voice
would have startled me even in day
time when fully awake. But he had
rushed into our bedroom at half after
two o'clock in the morning, having
just come from the last train, and [
was yet bewildered from sleep. SO that
his voice and manner greatly alarmed
me.

claimed, sitting up in bed. what has
Gomez
But I knew, even before he had
time to answer. For days we, with
the rest of the world, had been wait
ing upon our lawmakers for the final
decision as to our country's entrance
into the world war. Congress had
met in final dramatic joint session
the night. before. I didn't need the
f1aring headlines of the newspapers
Dicky carried in his hand to tell me
that America had at last cast her lot
with the forces fighting for the
worlds liberty and civilization.

then. as the full realization of what
it meant broke upon me, [ clasped
Dicky's arm.
ooh, it's so wonderful and so ter
rible, Dickyi" I said brokenly. He
sat down and put his arms around
me, and for few minutes We chung
together as two awed children might
have done. I imagine it was the
feeling with which many of the citi-
zens of the United States faced the
news-a glad thrill, an awed hush.
I have never felt closer in spirit to
my husband than I did during those
few first minutes of contemplation of
the news he had brought. It was as
if I were a clear flame in which was
burning away all the doubts and diff
ferences that had beset my path

The Haunting Retrospect.
For days following our removal
from the Brennan house to the new
