THE Foolish Virgin" an Adaptation
from that famous novel. The photo
play adaptation of Thomas Dixons
great and powerful novel, "The Foolish
Virgin" opens u limited engagement at

Clara Kimball Young is the featured
star and this is her second big play
since the forming of her own company
The production is new one having

In The Foolish Virgin Miss Young
viii be seen in one Of the most SYM
pathetic roles of her screen career The
story is replete with action and un-
usually well adapted to the require
ments of the motion camera.
The heroine of The Foolish Virgin
is Mary Adams. a young public school
teacher. who, when. not engaged in her
work. dreams of the romantic days
| when the world was different. She is
SO imbued with the SPORT of romance
that when a strange young man

street ruffian, she idolizes her hero.

invention Is stolen and, embittered by

Mary. knowing nothing of this, falls
in love with and marrcs him.
Anthony is a product of the slums
and in his wanderings about the world
has lost track of his mother. Learn
ing that she is living in the mountains
OF Carolina Jim pcrsuades Mary to go
with him to visit her. He takes with
him bag full of jewelry, the plumber
gained in his recent robhcries. and
the story progresses.
| This great feature will win a host
of new admirers for Miss Young as il
Is rcplete with heart interest and re-
frcshingly free from impossible stu
otions.
Miss Young's superlative beauty and
dramatic gifts have been aided by the
work of the director. Albert Capellani
and the splendid cast of players. Con-
way Tearle. who made so many thou
sands OF new admirers by his work
in THE Common Law" also plays tho
leading male role in the second pro.
ductiOn, and Paul Capellani, who has
been seen in so many of Miss Young's
best pictures, gives another strong ant

INSPIRATION.

Good night" and then your candles feeble flare
Went glimmering up the stair;
A door closed and the house was still.
Slow, hour by hour. the night grew old.
And from the smo1dering hearth the cold
Stole forth and laid its chill
On fingers weary Of the pen.
On heart and brain that had been fain
To make a song of cheer
For oh, the summer warm and bright
Went upward with your candlelight
Went with you up the stair.

need not attempt to disguise the fact, that is to Be
struggle for supremacy between those Of it, MEM
bers who are devoted to the ideals Of popular rule
and that faction that stands for reaction. The Re-
publican party will eventually stand for one OF the
other thing itself.
In the presidential campaign Of 1860. when the
question Of human slavery was at issue. Abraham
Lincoln said:
"That is the eternal issue the
eternal struggle between these two principles
right and wrong-throughout the world
They the two principles that have stood
face to face from the beginning of time and
will ever continue to struggle. The one is
the common right OF humanity and the other
the divine right Of kings. 1t is the same prin.
ciple in whatever shape it develops itself"
Last November the Republican electoral ticket
lost every western state except Oregon and South
Dakota, which were held by such slim margins a.
to make them seem like Democratic victories
Last November the Democratic electoral ticket
carried every single one Of the Al Montana counties.
except Sweet Grass where it was saved by the bare
plurality Of Al.
We think it will hardly be mooted question that
the cause is directly traceabe to the widespread be-
lief that Hughes was not pronouncedy progressive in
his sympathy and views of public questions. and that
in the event Of his election the same clique that con-
trolled the executive committee action last week
would be too close to the throne.
