a lot of things in the place that must
be set topsy-turvy, and then see

setting them to rights, and Peggy

"The Fortunes of Fiji"

The Molly Elliott Seawell story,
s'The Fortunes of Fifi," which will be
told in pictures next Wednesday at
the Grand, may consider itself for
tunate that the Famous Players de-
cided to have it turned into photo
play for Marguerite Clark, and, to
even up matters, little Miss Clark is
equally lucky in having secured so
good vehicle for the display Of her
talents as star of the screen. The
adventures of the little French ac-
tress of the time of Napoleon have
the romantic charm which adds to the
zest of life, even when we know
things never tuaa oGS so beautifully
except in the imagination of some
gifted author AS Miss Clark plays
the part, we are willing to believe in
it all: Fits meeting with Cartouche,
the Journey to Paris, her engagement
at the Imperial Theatre, the unselfish
love of the actor for Fiji, his present
ing her with the lottery ticket that
wins the capital prize, the use she
makes of the money, and the method
she employs to force Cartouche to
understand that she can never be
happy except as his wife.
'sThe Fortunes of Fiji" was written
for entertaining purposes only, ana
fulfills its mission. The charm given
the character by Marguerite Clark is
that of perfect innocence and the
frankness of a child, and, as most OF
Fif's moods are joyous ones, = the
spectator is assured more than fair
share of smiles and laughs.

NEWS or THE PH0TQPLAYS

before the great healer. Time has
smoothed their gaping hideousness
with the softenfng lure of forgetful-
ness. With dignity and candor the
blessings Of peace without sacrifice
Of patriotism are presented, while at
no time is any effort made to present
war other than it is-and that is
horrible enough. The scenes of mod
ern warfare, with the engines for de-
zt4uction brought to a scientific per-
lection, are as terrifying as they are
fascinating. The photodramatic eff
fects are most wonderful and surpris-
ing, The spectator is enthralled with
the spectacle, and in his intent in

ten. The lesson SO clearly set forth
in the unfolding Of the picture sinks
deep into the consciousness of every
one who sees the production, and the
wonder is that such presentation
could possibly be made"

"On Record

"0n Record" which comes to the
Grand Monday, is film with emo
tional effectiveness above the ordi-
nary. Mae Murray plays the leading
role with a sincerity and an intelli-
gence pleasing to witness. The last
act is the best of all and is mighty
line piece of work on the part of all
concered. In fact, the entire picture
is markedly better than the average.
e"On Record" refers to the heroine's
having got her name and her finger
prints on the books of the night court.
IN the opening scenes she aids an
aviator who, trying out new inven-
ton, tumbles down out of the sky al
most at her feet. She comes to the
city for job as a stenographer and
is starving when an advertisement
brings her to apply for a position as
private secretary at the home of the
aviator's mother. The aviator sends
her to the library to get some notes.
There she consents to let strange
man take her to dinner, and it is in

To Concrete 3 Shaft

The Oliver Iron Mining Co. has
decided to line the Pioneer "B .
shaft, says Skillmgs' Market Let
ter, with reinforced concrete. The
material will be applied with a
cement gun. Present steel sets
are to be left in place and work
Of concreting will be carried to q
depth Of ITO feet. The shaft has
an inclination Of 70 degrees.
Work of sinking was started
in 1901. When concreting work
is completed this working will be
the main production shaft for the
Pioneer.
"A" shaft has always been the
main shaft and was sunk by the
former operators. 1t was sunk
very close to the ore body, as was
the practice in the old days, and
caving which naturally occurred
later, as ore was removed caused
slips, or lines Of weakness, which
have affected the shaft, and sets
have been supported by a stee
cantilever for some years. "B'
shaft will make a perfect perma
nent shaft for future operations.

A live merchant rs one who
handles up-to-date goods instead
of shelf-worn ones. The reason
he handles up-to-date goods Is be-
cause he lets his customers know
what he has to sell and conse-
ouently sells them before they
have time to get shelf worn, then
he replaces them with new goods.
You can always tell a live mer-
chant by watching the columns OF
the local newspapers. A live mer-
chant advertises his stock because
he wants to sell it-and knows
how. He knows that he must let
his customers know what he has
to- sell if he expects them to buy.
He doesn't wait for them to
stumble onto his store by chance
he knows they might find the
other fellows place first. It's the
live merchant s business to see
that the customer comes to his
place firSt.-EX.
