LIST OF MEN AS
ACCEPTED FOR
! SERVICE IN
CALL .
Board Not Yet Through
With Exemptions
Filed.
LIST INCLUDES FIRST
ONE-THIRD OF DRAFT.
It Is Thought This Will
Compose Those To Go
In September.

The large number or exemption
claims and other matters before the
local board has made it impossible
for them to give a complete list OF
men accepted for service or Est OF
those whose claims for exemption
have been allawed. The following
list, however, includes those who
have been accepted and who Will be
in the first call, one-third Of he first
draft, which is supposed to be called
in September.
The Government has announced
that there is no OBJ r'gation to exempt
any one physically able to serve, but
that it has been the desire of the
Government to disturb dependents
Just as little as as the necessity OF
raising an army will permit. 1t
further avs: "If experience is to
prove that the generous provisions
prescribed by section 1S, or any
abuse of them, will interfere with the
raising of an army, then it is no
longer adv sable to discharge so vide
a class and the conditions stated
therein will have to be restricted un-
til an advisable rule is reached.

FAHNUM IN STRAND PICTURE

When Gregory Van Houten repaired
to the country for rest from society
functions and city life he had no idea
of coming back to town a married man.
But he fell in love with Jean Haskins,
the daughter of farmer, and despite
the sensible protests of the old folks
they married. Back town they came
and Gregory threw his country girl
wife into the whirl of society, all I'M
prepared. The way she shattered con-
ventions turned the tickle Van Houten
against her, and his neglect left an
opening for the villain in the case to
operate and with such success that
Gregory obtained a divorce. The wife
realized the injustice that had been her

Gently picked its way through the
carefully guarded channels of the
British isles, and deposited a cargo of
dyes on our shores, not only opened the
eyes of the mariners, but has startled
the world as to the possibilities of
mans genuineness, and proved there
are yet many things to happen that are
new and wonderful in spite of the
theory that mankind has reached his
meridian in the world of invention.
And this proves conclusively that there
is not story nor a play that cannot
be improved upon If wisdom, thought
and patience is applied. In the great

MARY PIcKFoRD TO BE HERE
SOON IN NEW FEATURE

Among the super productions an
nounced for early presentation at the
Majestic, is 1.-The Darling of Paris"
starring the internationally famous
Theda Bara. This masterpiece pro-
duction is taken from Victor Bugo's
"Hunch Back of Notre Dame" and fol-
lows very closely the original work by
the renowned author.
Miss Bara is given wonderful OPP
portunity in her role as the featured
player, and registers a convincing per-
Torrance.
Following the above production by
a few days is THE Poor Little Rich
Girl" with Americas darling, Mary
Pickford, cast N the stellar part of
Eleanor Gates immortal story. Miss
Pickford as the poor little rich girl
renders one of her greatest interpre-
tations, that of girl IL years old. The
play is filled with the sort OF action in
which Mary has become the worlds
leader, and is marked by a deep HUI
man plot, beaded with bits of emotional
acting and situations.

TALMADGE AT
THE MAJESTIC THEATER
IN TRIANGLE PHoToPLAY

The Majestic offers today only Con-
stance Talmadge in the feature attrac-
ton, "Betsy's Burglar" comedy
drama from the pen of Frank e.
Woods, who has written more sue
cessful photoplays than any other one
man in the business. 1.-THE Gamble in
Souls" 1.-The Bad Boy" and other
stories that will be remembered as
having that characteristic bit of hu-
manness, that deep realism, and
tastefulness, are to his credit. AS for
Miss Talmadge, she needs no intro
duction for her work in her last fea-
ture, 1.-THE Girl of the Timber Claims"
alone has brought thousands of admir-
ing theater- goers to her, and before
that her portrayal of numerous other
characters gave her widespread ac-
qualntance. The immediate support
ing cast include such players as Monte
Blue, Josephene Crowell, Hal Wilson
and Kate Bruce. The first two named
have played with Hart and Fairbanks
respectively, and recorded themselves
as capable, clever performers.
Tomorrow and Tuesday, Miss Vir-
ginia Pearson will play the stellar,
dual roles in the dramatic feature,
as versatile, dramatic performer, has
few competitors. and her past efforts
in such production as Dare Devil
Kate" BITTER Truth" and 1.-THE Hunt
ed Woman" are efforts that will long
stand as some of the silent dramas
best interpretations. In tomorrows
feature she plays dual role, twin sis
ters, in the one case she is a social out
| cast, dingy and victim of the under
world free of high ambitions, and
goodness, and in the other she is
! the sweet, innocent girl raised in an
| environment that is set with the kind
| illness of home. Her masterful por-
| trayal of two characters whose diff
! ference is so great, in the same play,
has been considered by press and
public, as one of the most remarkable
presentations of the season. Support
ting Miss Pearson is Irving Cummings,
who it will be recalled, played the lead
in the famous serial, THE Diamond
| From the Sky" Mr.. Cummings is one
of the screens oldest character men
