Upton Sinclair Story

Upton Sinclair contends that many of the modern charities exist only for the purpose of filling the pockets of some of those who conduct them. He makes this contention in his novel "The Adventurer," which has been produced as picture and which will be shown at the Columbia today and tomorrow The story was a powerful indictment of charity graft and those who remem- Der "The Jungle" and it's powerful ef- feet, may expect something just as sen sational though along entirely differ ent lines, in "The Adventurer.'
 Vanity and Some Sables" is the O. Henry picture story for this program It is story of man whose pride is above his pocketbook. There is also a Christie comedy on the program.
 The Columbia has made arrange ments for the Keystone Remedies, which will be shown soon, bathing girls and all.

"Caste" is Hip Offerino

Charles F'rohman among the greatest of producers, once said that Caste" whiC T he staged in New York City came nearer being his ideal of a real dramatic success than any play he had ever handled. The story of Caste" is simply the mismarriage of poor girl to the son of purse-proud aristocrat. The father of the girl is drunken got and she is a member of the chorus. But she has the stuff in her makeup despite her family and surroundings and how this tale ends is the real kick" as the picture makers say, of the production. Peggy Hyland plays the girl and the greatest character part of the story is played by none other than Sir John Hare. whom the Vitagraph people sent to England to secure for this picture. Sir John Hare made a reputation in his home country in the part of the father of the girl
 This picture is direct from q week 2 record run at Tally's Broadway in Les ] Angeles. The usual Big V comedy and the Pathe News feature are on the bill with the five reeler

his hand with their own rough ones.
Welleston slipped quietly to the hall
and waited until, with q last faltering
expression of good viii, the final man
had bid a last farewell to the priest
and tiptoed out. 1t was as if some
instructive deieacy made them feel 1t
proper to leave him alone In what were
his last moments.
But as Father Brady opened his eyes
once more, they fell on the crouching
figure of a man who had gently showed
UP the window from outside and
entered and was now kneehng, weeping
bitterly, by the bedside. And as his
fevered words broke forth in the hurry
of a soul torn by agony the priests
face relaxed and he murmured the
words of forgiveness in a tone of gentlest
pity.
murmured, over one sinner that
repenteth-"
Then his head fell back upon the
pillow and Welleston, watching with
awed gaze, saw that of which the priest
had told him IN the afternoon. For
the depth of mystery 1.-THE eyes showed
that they saw something denied to his
own view, and the wonderful transfigur-
alton of Joy and peace which fell upon
the stiffening countenance told his
the place he had sought through life.
- Reverently he folded the hands over
the dead mans breast and turned to
the door His own life, he knew,
could now be measured by the span of
minutes, and he halted for q moment,
his hand still on the knob, before
entering the bar.

and closed the door behind him.

there, and for just one instant his reso-
luton wavered as he passed the wind
mill He had seen one man hanged
there and he shivered as he thought
of the picture he had presented.
Worn as he was, he managed to help
the dropping woman from the saddle.
T len he softly opened the side door and
led the way into the room used by Pitt
himself. Outside in the barroom and
in the room across the hall sounded
low mUrmur of voices. The room
was family illumined by the glow of
the light In the hall through the half
open door. The woman sank with a
sob of relief onto Pitts bed, and
Welleston pressed upon her another
swallow ofIwhiskey. Then he turned
and gave one last look about the room.
Feelin' better, ma am?" he asked
kindly.
Eyes, God bless you" she com
menced.
Jest wait minute" interposed
Welleston hurriedly, with gulp in
his throat; "PH send somebody to
attend to you"
Then, with a long breath, he stepped
into the hall and shut the. door behind
him. Almost without knowing why,
he tiptoed his way to the bar from
which q door opened into an adjoining
ment.
Deathly pale and with the light of
one who is near death in his eyes,
Father Brady had been raised from the
pillows of a couch by reverent hands
hands which but recently had been
employed to kill others for a question
of pasturage. Before the couch were
ten or twelve men of the same stamp
among them were some known to
be openly in league with the COW men
But there was no distinction of party
now 1t was a collection of primitive
souls listening to the blessing of one
about to be recalled to his Maker.
And as the slow and fervent words
fell from the feeble lips, Welleston
himself knelt down in the shadow of
the bar and bowed his head.
There was silence as the priest con-
cluded and, after cIumsily getting to
their feet, the men as If by one accord
stepped forward and gently pressed

could have continued a little longer IN
that dark parlOr, with only the small
ray of the lamp from the hall to light
it, everything the sleepless old man at
home so ardently wished might have
been accomplished and they might
have taken down that hne-fenee the
next day and then have lived happy
ever after-quite In the way Of the old
fashioned story-books. For Seffy was
still brave to audacity, and Sally was
vet at his mercy-and happy to be so.
And here, if we were not arrived at
climax, | would venture to halt this
history for a moment that we might
discuss a bit those trifles In life which
the ancients called Fate; and for which,
or the lack of which, life often goes aYTyi
But while Seffy's courage grew
again, and Sally's hope, the door on
the other side of the room opened and
the odious Sam came through.

New York. Oct PA pretty young

she then proceeded to take off her

caused riot among those present.
But despite the fact that thosuands

who was taking off her bathing suit

a young woman taking off her bath

Just that and nothing more.
The young woman had a trick suit,
but before she got it on she nearly
caused a lot Of broken necks among
gentlemen who thought they had
trick necks. She caused only mild
sensation when she came out on the
beach and pulled off the sweater and
skirt, mild because not very many
saw her before they also saw that

on a bathing suit that was high
enough up and low enough down not
