SEVEN KEYS" ON
 THE LYCEUM SCREEN

No argument could be used with any more force than the meager an- nouncement that George M. Conan has entered motion pictures, to prove that the silent art has at last taken it's supreme place in the dramatic world. Cohan is beyond any shadow of doubt the most popular man now engaged in that big business of giv- ing the public enjoyment, and, while he is known better for his work be- hind the footlights, finally realizing the greater importance of the pic lures, the better opportunity they present to furnish the world with good, clean entertainment, he has accepted an offer to appear in several motion pictures. Happily, he is prov ing just as big a success working to the tune of the cameras click as to the applaud of the masses.
 George Ms first picture was taken from one of his own plays, Broad way Jones', and his second. also his own Seven Keys to Baldpate', in which he is appearing the remainder of this week at the Lyceum theater. In Broadway Jones" Cohan wormed his way into the hearts of all who saw HlIn, ne 1OICcu C1l0 CIltlCS lO Op0ll up with their most pleasing phrases, and he made the directors shout with joy, for the big experiment. bringing the worlds most famous playwright and most popular actor into the new department of drama has proved successful. Now he has gone them ono better He is the same old George. with the ever-ready smile the familiar handclasp, and the little whatnots that forced the world to take it's hat off to him and keen 1t off ever since. On the stage Conan made his name famous, on the screen he bids fair to cut a niche that will remain as long as the word "theater" remains in the English vocabulary.
 On the same program will be Bessie Love, that darling little girl that sets the galary-gods' hearts humping ever so mysteriously, in a story whose quaintness and pretty plot cause it voted a leader in its class. Miss Love in her new role goes up another notch in her climb to fame. The Keystone comedy, "Uncle Dudley" completes the program suit a h1y

DUSTIN FARNUM ON
 SCREEN AT FOX'S

Juding from the reception that screen success, North of 53", the crowd must have been nightly de- lighted to see their popular idol once more where he belongs, cast as one of those big, rough diamonds whose pal ace is a snow-covered log cabin and whose limousine is a dog-sled. It is more than good to see Dusty "mushin" his dogs along to the northward, over the desert of unbroken snows, his life dedicated to the precarious task of wiping out the man whose lying tongue had slandered and well-nigh ruined the girl of his dreams. AS Roaring Bilr Wagstaff, he falls in love with 8 young woman who has been driven from the community of her birth by the scandal which her interruptions employer had contrived to attach to her name because she had resented his insulting advances. She arrives at Caribou Meadows, where Bill is leading life of loneliness fol- lowing the mysterious murder of his partner. But her story, with the wings of malicious gossip, soon catches up with her, and she Is not long in finding herself again the innocent ob- ject of suspicion. Bill, however, eith
 CT refuses to believe the rumors he hears about her, or else ignored them, for he loves her, and asks her to mar ry him. She refuses, strange to say, and when Bill, upon investigation, learns the true state of her affairs, he sets out on his own hook to "klnder straightin' matters out bit". Ac- cording to Bills idea, the first thing to be strengthened out was the man who started the trouble, and with the determination to do so, begins some of the liveliest adventures that man ever had, Miss Winifred Kingston,

 One of these unenthusiastic guests came into my home the other day.

 Not to Say '"Thank You" for a Gift. One puts into ones home and into ones cuisine the expression of one
 self. When one entertains a guest one is making him a gift as it were.
 For him to utter no word of praise

 Of course one cannot shed the bless ed sunshine of enthusiasm every
 where unless one is born with that
 beautiful gift but one can at least
 try not to be too unenthusiastic.

 An Unequivocal Reply.
 But if I were surprised at my own courage, it was nothing to the amaze ment depicted on Dicky's counten- ance as he heard my words. Then the look of angry resentment with which I was only too familiar flashed into his face.
 I've no doubt you would do just that very thing" he said jelly, and there was an edge of contempt, simu- lated or real, in his voice that stung me. 1T don't think you have the slightest conception or appreciation of the value of these things. But, for tunately, they don't belong to you And beg to inform you that I shall sort them right here in this room So if youintend to remove the couch es and rugs you'd better be quick about it.
 "Grammercy for your exquisite courtesy" I retorted, and felt very much as would a small girl who had just stuck out her tongue at some rude boy If you will kindly leave the room for 15 minutes I will get Katie and Jim and clear the furnish ings out.'
 "Vot Dis All NIcans?"
 The words he growled in response were unintelligible to me, as he mutt tered them on his way up the stairs to the attic AS soon as he had dis appeared 1 hastily summoned Jim and Katie, and for the next quarter of an hour we worked like Trojans.
 'Vot dis all mean?" Katie demand ed with the freedom born of her long, faithful service to me. You say we not move for four days yet. Vot use tearin' dis all oop so soon? It gets us holdings, und it look like der devil.'
 MT. Graham wishes to sort his pa in the attic, and if we don't take the furniture and rugs out they will get all dusty" I explained carefully, al- though I felt much more like dis missing the girl with 8 curt repri- mand for her impertinence, uncon- scious though knew it to be- Some times the necessity I am under to treat Katie's foibles with forbearance, because of what I knew was before her, grates upon my nerves.
 l saw Jim flash disapproving look at her, which Katie needed not at all. Neither marriage nor time has changed my irresponsible, tempestu- ous, little maid. She made mu- tinous little move at my explanation.

Why Madge Determined to Take
 Diclxy Literally at His Word.


 have come to the conclusion that l the average man is strangely igno- rant of and indifferent to the house. keeping problems of women. All my , life long I have heard this assertion made by married women and my life with Dicky has confirmed the theory.
 If I had lacked proof, however, it was furnished to me by Dicky's be- havior about the litter of books, magazines and newspapers he lugged down from the attic when I asked him to sort them preparatory to our removal to our new home. Instead of asking me where it would be con- venient for me to have them, he brought them straight to the living room and began piling the stuff on the couches rugs and chairs, with sublime indifference to the small clouds of dust which arose when he put them down.
 And when I protested that they would ruin the rugs and furniture, he had groWled, "Take the furniture out, then!' and added a comment that he didn't intend to freeze while he was SOItlHS lne things Tor me.
 For me?' I retorted. My mem ory may be faulty, but I don't recall bringing into the house single book, magazine or newspaper of the collec- tion you're sorting. If they're mine, the question of their disposal will not take long. l shall simply call up some charity headquarters and ask them to send their wagon down here."
 I was surprised at my own temer- 1ty as the caustic retort left my lips. Not that I am particularly patient. Griselda, but ever since our reconcilia- tion following the terrible misunder- standing which sent Dicky to San Francisco for so many long, weary weeks, I have tried in every way could to avoid any clash with him. Repeatedly I have choked down re- plies to his frequent bursts of impa- tience, replies which my sense of justice and my self-respect told me should have uttered.
 Upon the occasion of my last clash with Dicky, however, when he so rudely refused any explanation of the fervid love letter I had found in the hall after he had disposed of the con- tents of the waste basket, I firmly re- solved to pursue different tactics with my temperamental husband. I saw clearly that quiet submission to his whims was the worst possible thing for him and for me. It robbed me of self-respect and intensified the nat
