HAROLD LOCKWOOD
FOX'S OFFERING

Motion picture fans will find some
thing decidedly unusual and enter
tanning in Harold LockWood's latest
success The Square Deceiver," in
which he appears at Fox's theater to-
day and tomorrow. The picture is
an adaptation of Francis Perry Ell
Lofts story, Love Me for Myself
Alone" which enjoyed such a wide
popularity on it's recent publication in
Smiths magazine, and, needless to
say, its screen version II even more
excitingly delightful than it's original
style. 1t has to do with the adven-
lures of one Billy Van Dyke, who,
being a millionaire several times over
is counted a great catch by all the
fortune-hunting mothers of marriage
able daughters. But Billy remains
unimpressed, waiting for his "Drea m
Girl who will love him not for his
millions. but for himself alone. Par
ticularly untiring in her efforts to land
BILLY is Mrs. Pugfeather, who has de-
termlred that he will marry her
daughter, Celia. Billy, however,
doesn't fall very hard for Cele, but
rather likes Mrs. Pugfeather's ward,
Eeatrice. a penniiess orphan. But he
is somewhat afraid that her impover-
ished condition might induce her to
accept attentions from him merely on
account of his wealth, so to preclude
such IL possibility, he DISCUSSES him.
self as a chauffeur, and carries on
his courtship without her becoming
aware of his real identity. This is the
beginning of long series of hilar-
iously funny and ridiculous situa-
tons, and before he is through with
it, Billy wishes he had. never seen
pair of goggles in his life. The whole
thing is n rapid whirl of unexpected
and surprising action with a solu-
ton which, although far from ordi-
nary is yet most satisfactory. Buried
Alive" is the title OF the twelfth chap
ter of The Seven Pearls" in which
Mollie King and Creighton Hale take
new risks in their search for the
rearls which are to free lima from
the harem of the sultan. One of the
best comedies that has been made in
years is His Smashing Career" the
third Sunshine Comedy to be re-
leased by the Fox studios. Those
" no saw the two previous Sunshines,
Roaring Lions and Wedding Bells"
and The Milk Fed Vamp," will GER
tainly not miss this one, as it is just
us good as the others, and in some
respects perhaps just little bit bet

dams, Aloysious Mutt and Telemachus

piece of work called BE My Wife,"

EVA TANGUAY AT
KEENEY'S THEATER

Eva Tanguay, as headliner at
keeney's thcater. is one of the sea-
sons sensations. She is seen in The
Wild Girl" u Selznick production, dis
tributed by Select in which Harry
weber presents her to the public for
the first time on the screen. The role
OF Firety, the wild girl, gives Miss
Tanguay Il characterization in which
she is happily at home, and her in
depreciation of the part leaves moth
ing to be desired. Left with q tribe
OF wandering gypsies who had be-
friended her dying father, Firefly is
brought up as boy. Only the old
chief and the woman to whom he has
CCntided the child's care know the
secret of her sex. The fact that she
will inherit large Virginia estate
CT coming of age makes her val
liable possession and she is INDUCED
il every way.
AS she reaches her majority the
gypsy band wanders southwark and it
| is while they are camping in the Vir-
Sinia country that accident reveals
| 10 Vosho, the chiefs son, the truth of
| Tirefys sex He seeks out his father
and demands her hand in marriage
When the old chief demurs and re-
veals Firet1y's position in her own
world, the younger man becomes
doubly insistent, pointing out the fact
| that marriage will bring the girls
fortune under their own control. In
the end the older man gives in and
the marriage ceremony is observed.
In addition to this feature there
will be u five-part drama, THE Silent
Lady" an appealing story, with Gret-
chen Lederer and little Zoe Rae in
the leading roles. The character of
Miss Summerville, acted by Gretchen
Lederer, stands out the strongest.
Miss Lederer plays with a thorough
ness that convinces throughout, and

appeal is increased to a great extent,
Little Zoe Rae, as the child, offers
just another of her natural and pleas
ing characters.

Why don't we think more about the.
sunshine when We are building or
choosing our homes?
We look we'll to the location and
the architecture; we insist upon mod
ern conveniences especially these
sine qua mons of modern life, steam
heat and electric lights; we concern
ourselves deeply over the size of the
rooms Or the color of the wall paper,
and then we fail to insist that the
house shall be so placed as to drink
in all tho blessed, heartening, life
giving sunshine possible.
CTrue, we are more thoughtful
about such things than we used to be,
but there is still great room for i'm
provcment.)
The Greatest Ornament of Any Room.
Sunshine is the greatest ornament
any room can have. Take the bareSt,
plainest room. and fill it with morning
sunshine and you have redeemed it.
l once had cousin who had lived
for many years in the city. She had
lived in two good apartments and in
one fairly expensive house Git rented
for sixty dollars a month"; Then the
war turned her husbands business
topsyA turvy, and she had to go into
little suburban apartment for
eighteen dollars a week. There her
youngest baby was born. When l.
went to see her 1 was ushered into a
room filled with sunshine.
Isn't it queer said my cousin
my other three babies were born in
town. One at the first apartment
had. one in the apartment on r
street, and one at the house-and this
is the first time I have had really
sunny bedroom. At the house I had
some afternoon sun, but here I get it
all day long, and you can't think what
q difference it has made"
But / could.
Morning Sunshine Is Best OF All.
Any kind of sun is good, but morn
ing sun Is best of ALL 1t has a great
deal more heating power than the
afternoon sunshine.
And the morning sunshine is the
most beautiful, cheerful thing in the
world. J love to sit in it, let it battle
me and heal me. And Gas | have
certainly said before) no day is prop

has sunshine upon it.
The Room We Liked Best.
I once lived in little country inn
where there were two rooms down
stairs for the guests-the living room,
| a big, beautifully shaped room, at
| tractively fitted up with old fashioned
4 furniture, and the office, a little square
room, bare, furnished with deal ia

more than half the guests would wan

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot
Be Cured

BY local applications, rs they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by q constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by
an inAamed eonditionof the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when 1t
is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition hearing will be destroyed forever.
| Many cases OF deafness ARE caused by
catarrh, which is an inlamed condition
OF the c surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Medicine acts thru the hlood OH the mu-
cous surfaces Of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Catarrhal Deafness that'can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.

GARFIELD 10 WORK
MINES IN KENTUCKY
Threatened Coal Famine In Eastern
Part Of State May Lead TO Drastic
ActIon--Langley VIII Ask
That Price De S3.

Washington, d. G., September "a
Government operation OF coal mines
In certain sections OF the country, II
need be, under protection Of United
States troops, is looming up as an i'm
mlnent possibility.
Curtailment Of production is forcing
the issue OF Government operation
sauarely to the front. That the Gov
eminent must decide soon whether 1t
will operate the mines to prevent the
threatened coal famines Is the belief
OF well-informed persons.
A shortage of Eastern Kentucky
coal production, attributed to dissatis-
faction with the prices flxed by the
President, has brought Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield face to face with a
very acute situation, with Govern
Inent operation of the mines advo-
Gated by influential persons as the
remedy.
Eastern Kentucky operators are
frankly in rebellion over the prices
fixed for their coal, ranging as low as
S1,65 a ton at the mine. The situation
there is growing no better. Lon Rog-
crs, an operator of Pikeville, has writ
ten to Representative Langley:
ITO my mind the TRADE against the
coal operator is wholly unjust and I'M
warranted, and will result in the
greatest shortage Of coal the country
has ever known during the coming
winter. Curtailment in production Is
inevitable"
Representative Langley will intro
duce in Congress today bill to fix
the price Of Kentucky coal at SO at
the mouth of the mine, and in justify
ing this increase over the Presidents
order, will cite the following percen-
tages OF increase of necessities that
enter into the production of coal as
compared with 1915.
The total average Of the sixteen ar
ticles entering into coal production,
according to Langley's table, is 222
| per cent.
Meanwhile the shortage of coal in
Eastern Kentucky is threatening such
calamities as the closing down of
electric light, water and other public
utility plants and street car systems
in Lexington and several cities and
towns in the Bluegrass region. A dele
cation will be here this week from
Lexington to put all the facts of the
critical situation before Fuel Direc-
tor Garfield.
