:. Amos Merrill, president Of. the
United Securities Company for years
has been specializing with the cor
poratiop's money, and is. on the
verge of discovery. He has been the
undisputed business. leader, but
suddenly finds himself supplanted
by young man from the West,
named John Cook. The success of
Cooks operations in Wall Street ac-
centuates Merlil's sense Of his own
failure.
Merrill's daughter, Hope, attends
a ball where she meets the new mil

his daughter Cook has ruined him.
Hope urges her father to take cour-
age, since she Is determined to
avenge the wrong done him.
Then she begins to be charming

Hope has no idea Of the noble na-

which the spokes of the six episodes of the picture are ranged and the at tention of the audience is centered np- on her continuously as she displays wonderful agility and skill in the per foruiAnce of her character.
 The play embraces every appeal to the tender and imaginative side of the tender andimaginative side of the human soul. For those who are critics of the form devine there is a school of mermaids, to the worship pers of the beauty of the great out doors scenes of wonderful grandeur are shown and for those who delight in, conflicts waged on a stupendous scale picturesque battles of the fierc- est kind are seen. Asa whole the equal of the production for beauty in ensemble and richness in detail, is hard to imagine.
 The story is a fantasy but is pre- sented in a manner which makes it as interesting and entertaining for the adult as it is fascinating for the child, the playfulness of the child's brain being caught by the camera and put into a picture which serves to please everybody. The picture will be seen at the Lyric the balance of the week with matinee daily and skould be accorded a large patronage being the most pretentious and spectacular photoplay yet to be presented.

PARK

Beginning tonight the spooner Stock Company will present at the Park theatre George M. Cohan's most talked of comedy, "It Pays to Adver- tise." There is not in the amusement world today a farce that promotes more laughter than this late hit of Cohan & Harris. Ut Pays to Adver- ltfse' is a business play, but the uni- versal popularity it derived through the authors, holding in the plot with romance enough to win sthe enthusi- asm of the feminine portion of thea tregoers. It is just a clean, sweet comedy of the farce variety that every one can understand and appreciate.
 The philosophy. of advertising is the winning vein of the plot, which has to do with the idle son of rich man, who is goaded into an active business career by his father. The son starts an advertising campaign to reach. the pinnacle of fame as we'll as a bank roll, and this campaign starts a fu- rore in the commercial world through its sensational and winning methods. E This is the food for the comedy end its record of one solid year in New York city is the best proof of it's pop ularity. Matinees on Tuesday, Thurs day and Saturday.

PLAZA

Probably the greatest dramatic tri- umph ever contributed to the screen lis The Bar Sinister which Edgar. Lewis has recently completed and which enjoyed g. phenomenal run at the Broadway Theatre at top prices. The production handles delicate theme-that of race sprejudice-in a manner that offends none and both: entertains and educates all. s
 The naanagemeht of the Plaza was. fortunat9 sen5ring an immediate, booking Of this widely heralded play and will present it three times daily during the entire current week at the . usual popular prices.
 A delightful and unusually. elabor-7 ate. musical score will be rendered by the Plaza's concert orchestra and the new $25,000 which has Just been fn- stalled will also lend pleasing musi- cal effects Several appropriate nov elites arc to be- staged fnsy a manner that will bring out the picture in a manner hitherto unknown to the local projection of screen programs and the banner crowds of the season are ex- pected.
 The action of the piece is most compelling and the infusion of num- erous. red-blooded fight. scenes serve to hold the spectator in a grip of en- thusiasm that does not relax until the final, smashing climax is rached.
 As a relief from the intensity of at tending the presentation of this mighty spectacle, two reel Mack Sennett Keystone comedy entitled His Naughty Thought" should prove an admirable attraction

Avoid Deception.

The price of an article is not the only measure of it's value. Consider the quality. The Nothnagle store has for generation had the distinctive reputation of selling quality home furnishings at very reasonable prices. Articles that will be given a place of honor in the home should be selected with great discrimination but do not necessarily have to be costly. Cheap goods are invariably cheap in every sense of the word and the Nothnagle store has always avoided such things. Trading at store of this kind is your protection against unreliable merchan- disc and you will be agreeably sur prised to see how far your money will go, too. A visit of inspection is so- 1icited.

HOROSCOPE.
Friday, August 81, 1917.

This is rather an unimportant day
in planetary direction, but 1t is the
forerunner Of dramatic times. Uranus
and Venus are adverse and late at
night the Sun Is friendly.
Uranus most persistently exercises
power these days, making for the
most remarkable achievements in in
ventions, while at the same time af-
fectinS those who are of high-strung
artistic temperament.
Owing to this planet power 1t is
predicted that the most amazing dis
coveries concerning the power of mind
and the hidden forces OF the universe
will be made.
Among the inventions prognosticated
will be one that provides aerial sta
tions for aviators, the seers declare.
It is the influence of Uranus over
Venus TO which may be attributed
many feminine vagaries, astrologers
declare, and while the planet some
times distorts judgment. it gives
courage and daring.
This is not a favorable day for
women and business transactions with
them are not likely to be lucky.
Weddings may not be fortunate un-
der this rule OF the stars.
From the last day OF summer Ine
seers look forward to an autumn
marked by startling events in which
there is a steady growth of peace SEN
timent.
The President has the prognostica-
ton Of dissension or disagreements
around him in official circles and may
meet many anxieties in September.
Congressman have the forecast OF
many troubles with constituents and
numerous changes in the next cleo
ton are indicated.
Fame for a woman who will ac-
complish some great feat Of heroism
Is foretold for October.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is should

cidents. Travel or change that may
not be satisfactory is probable.
