EMPIRE

A masterly viri1e story of wartimes and international politics is found in the Lasky-Paramount picture, "Sacri- dce," which serves as the vehicle se- 1ected by the producers to star charm ing Margaret Ellington who makes her screen debut as a shadow stage star in this masterpiece which will top the programs this afternoon, evening and tomorrow at Keeney's Empire theatre. Sacrifice was especially written for Miss Ellington by Charles Kenyon who it will be remembered wrote, Kind ling" the play that this charming star made her biggest success in. The play deals with two tiny principalities and the plot deals with the securing of the plans regarding the national defense of Zandria. The secret ser vice men make things lively when they discovered there is a plot afoot to get the plans and throughout the picture action bordering at times on the melodramatic is unfo1ded. The picture is one of unusual appeal and interest and the charming star could not secure a, more fitting and ap- propriate subject for her entrance in- to motion pictures. An all select program of universal comedy and dramatic subjects will round out a program which will be most enjoy- able.

POLES

Introducing a big company that in cludes a bevy of pretty girls, the sprightly musical comedy; Little Miss Nowhere will top the program at Polls the first part of the week. Accorded the warmest welcome ev- anywhere by press and public, this lit tie musical play -is a real delight, and Is certain to maintain its happy rec ord here. The play is rich in musical and dancing numbers and the produc- ton has an artistic scenic investiture.
 The photop1ay program has three big features. William Farnum, the v1rile screen star, will be seen in the fve-part drama, American Methods, D gripping story of today. The play is founded on George Ohnet's ''The Ironmaster." Another of Paula Black tons Country Life Series, Satin and Calico,'' will be shown, andI as usual, the Hearst-Pathe News will be an in- teresting screen feature.
 Archer & Belford, remembered from former successful appearances here, will present their newest laugh-win- ming oddity, ."The Janitor's Troubles 9 Thomas P. Dunne, the famous mon- ologist, will offer his newest songs and stories, while Katherine Murray & Co. will be featured in a sparkling song revue. The Four Comedy Phiends, with a real vaudeville oddity, will be another big attraction in the bill.

Trust Flourish Under Democratic
 Administrations

Standard Oil companies have paid $629. 100000 in cash and stock divi- dends since the dissolution in May, 1911. Of that amount, $406,00O,000 has been in cash and $233, 100000 in stock, par value. In addition, valua- ble rights have been granted by number of the companies. These com panies have also accumulated large surpluses on greatly increased capi- talization. The Standard Oil Go. of California has increased it's capital stock from s50.000,000 at the begin ming of 1916 to $10O,00O,00O, which is now nearly all outstanding since the S3, 1-3 per cent. stock distribution on April 16 of this year. The company is making favorable record on its new capitalization as is the case with other companies which have recently increased their capital stock.
 Beef Packers Profits.
 To give the general public some thing of an idea of what sort of busi- ness the members of the meat trust have been doing during the past year. a look at their financial exhibits will prove interesting. Four of the big packing companies have published their annual reports for last year and all of them show larger earnings than in any previous year. The total busi- ness of the four companies was 1,400 million dollars, divided as fol1ows:
 1916 1915 Swift & Co. $575, 5,000.o0O $500, ,o00,o 900 Armour & Go.

 ......... 175,000,000 ........... Cudahy Pkg. Go.
 ..... 134,0O0,0OO s116,0O0, 900
 Net earnings of the four companies in 1916 and 1915 are here shown: 1916 1915 Swift &, ,Co. ...s2o,465,oo0 $14,oS7, 900 Armour & Go. 20,256.0OO 11,o0o, 900 Morris & Co. 3,832,212 2,321,41 Cudahy Go. .. 3,O11,415 723,642
 Earnings of Swift & Go. were equal to 19.3 per cent. on the investment and 27 per cent. on. the capital stock of $75,o00,00O. The dividend was. in- creased to 8 per cent. per annum in October.
 Armour & Co.'S earnings were 14.7 per cent. on the investment and 20 per cent. on the capital stock.
 Morris & Co. earned II 1A per cent. on the investment and 66 per cent. on capital stock.
 Armour & Co. reported profits of 3.s per cent. on total sales. swift's ratio was slightly less.
 Swift & Co.'S report says that pay ments for live stock were $500, 1000, 900.
 Armour & Go. say the increase in profits cane largely. from inedible by products and not from the sale of meat.

PLAZA

Douglas Fairbanks has just com- pleted his first subject under the pro- duction of his own organization, Tn Again-Out Again. and, in keeping with its policy of. presenting the best pictures on the market, the Plaza has arranged for weeks showing of the new work to commence with today's matinee.
 No more popular star was evef flashed upon @ screen than gentle manly, smiling Doug who cuts so may funny capers in such outlandishly unusual fashion that he just keeps you wrought up with pleasurable ex- citement throughout his every pro- duction.
 'In Again-Out Again. his latest effort, is undentably his best for the screen. Its recent showing at the fa- nous Rialto' thta,tre, New ork, broke all records. It is so thoroughly crammed with fun from start to finish that you can't catch your breath be- tween laughs. It will surely be the greatest drawing card of the season at the Plaza
 In addition to the Fairbanks pie ture which is a big show in itself, Mary Lawson's Secret a Pathe five reel product starring Charlotte Wal Aer III IuoSC impressive fOle, VIII also be shown. Mary Lawson's Se- cret'' tells the story of a young girl who is innocently convicted of mur- der on circumstantial evidence. It is one of the cleverest dramatic features we have ever seen and will serve as splendid diversion to the happy huInor of the Fairbanks action.
 The augmented orchestra will ren- der special music score that should attract must favorable comment.
