Although Madame Bo-Peep," which
is at the Princess today, has been
greatly elaborated for the screen, it
still retains much of the family ironic

tie situation of the young widow of
Col. Beaupree, who fancies herself as
picturesque shepherdess on her late
husbands ranch, but who soon learns
that sheep-raising has other features
than petted lambs and crooks covered
with ribbons.

Biz Fog Production a. Nelson.


A girls rebellion against the mar.
rowness and Puritanism which have
restricted her very life, forms the
theme OF the startling William Fox
photoplay, THE Soul of Satan" which,
with Gladys Brockwell in its stellar
role, is featured at the Nelson today.
Miss Brockwell remains one of the
delights OF the photoplay world. She
continues TO be an actress without peer
who can interpret her roles with an
, ease and naturalness. and a lack OF
stilted convention, only found in play.
ers of the highest rank. Her sensitive
face shows the slightest shadow OF
emotion, and mere raising of the eye
brows or twitch of the lip can express
more than the average screen player
gets over" with violent gestures.
There isn't such a thing as a poor
photoplay, when Gladys Brockweil is
appearing in it.
1.-THE Soul of Satan" is particularly
good and interesting. 1t shows the eff
feet OF combining environment on the
spirit of girl whose ambitions soar
above her possibilities. She has been
used to drudgery of every sort, and she
seizes the first opportunity to elope
with man who promises to marry her.
In the days which follow, she awak-
sns to the true worthlessness of this
ran, and she rejoices when he meets
Justice at the hands of one whom he
has wronged. Meanwhile. she has
found real love, in the heart of a big
man from the west, and she goes back
TO her home with his encircling arm
about her.

some millions Of years older. How do
we know? Why because, like the dis.
appearing appendix OF a man, old
Zeugy had little remnant OF his hind
feet hanging onto his tail, showing that
incalculable ages before he had walked
the earth.
The question Is who killed him !
Science has found no reason why he
should not be roaming the seas today.
Perhaps he couldn't stand the modern
winters . In his day North America had
a tropical climate, and he rested in
the shade of the sheltering palm.
