HOST IN TRANSIT"
 AT THE LYCEUM

George Beban, the greatest for world, in his latest, greatest produc- ton, Lost in Transit due for three days appearance at the Lyceum the ater, will appear for the first time this afternoon. Those persons who have seen MT. Beban in his famous screen renditions in ''Pasquale," 'The Italian" "The Cook of Canyon Camp 'The Bond Between," His Sweet heart" and "The Marcellini Millions'' have been waiting for announcement that he was again to appear, and now, here he is.
 A great plot excellent acting. and a pleasing conglomeration of pathos, excitement, humor, and heart inter est have been concocted into a de- lightful story. The old situation wherein the death of his wife steels the heart of a wealthy man against love and affection is twisted under unusual occurrences, and a truly won- derful result is achieved. MT. Beban takes advantage of what is offered, with greater results than he ever achieved before.
 MT. Kendall, with everything in the world he wants. loses his wife at the birth of a child and rather than live under the same roof as that which shelters the cause of his Wife's death, he sends the child to an orphanage. Two and a half years later Nicola Darini, an Italian vendor finds a child roaming about, a card tied around his throat with the sentence, Whoever finds this child can have him-no one wants him.
 Like a ray of light from the dark ness this child enters the life of the Italian, and before he realizes it, the youngster has become an important and necessary part of his life Just when the child assumes this big place in his life, the father decides that he wants his boy again, and goes out in search, offering s5,00O for the child's return. Nicolas mate is stolen and sent to the Kendall home Later it is found that the Kendall child is not the one who had been found by Nic- ola, and there follow a series of conn., plications that hold interest all the way.
 Little Bob White, the most popular boy actor on the screen plays the most important role of his "career' in this offering. He fully lives up the trust that has been placed in him by the directors, and bids fair to go higher if he continues the same brand of work he displays in Lost in Tran sit'' The picture will be at the I.y- ceum today, Friday and Saturday.
 On the same program will be the Lyceum Weekly, and several smaller subjects.

SIDE TALKS
Isn't This Inevitable
BY RUTH CAMEROH

But if you go without such things would that throw someone out of work?"
 Someone had spoken of a luxury she thought of giving up and some one else made that familiar objec- ton.
 I think I have heard some form of that objection a hundred times since the readjustments of war times be- gan.
 It is certainly a powerful consider ation. And yet think there are other considerations so much more power full that they sweep it right off the board.
 We Begin To Realize We Are At War.
 We are beginning to realize, as the flour situation and the coal situation and the sugar situation drive the mat ter home to us, that we are at war, and that whether we like it or not there have got to be some readjust- ments.
 If we don't make some sort of re- adjustments now, the day will come when circumstances will make them for us, and make them much more radically and much more sweepingly and much more harshly than if we made them today.
 But This Is Not a Time of Panic. Of course it is a terrible thing that people should be thrown out of work. Ones heart aches for them. There is no more desperate feeling than that gives. One feels like man sliding off precipice, clutching, struggling and losing ones hold of everything. But this is not a time of panic or un- employment there is plenty for every one to do and the government and the public and the individual must sim ply get together and somehow find 1 other mere necessary work for those whom our cutting down on luXuries 1 throws out of their groove. It is not enough in these days that all men work; they must work on 1 things which have an economic value. Of course these readjustments must not be made hurriedly or care lessly, but that goes without saying.

DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS
 HEADS FOX'S BILL

For rare combination of entertain ing talent it would be difficult to find a better offering than the present pro- gram at FOx's theater for a number of the most capable and popular stars of the screen are appearing there this evening. Chief among the enter tainers are Douglas Fairbanks, the lad with the happy-go- lucky smile, and Emily Stevens, that splendid emotional actress of the Metro studios. Miss Stevens is seen in the latest big special six part hit that she has made, "Outwitted.' It is a ripping drama with dozen original twists that make one sit up and take notice. The clev- CT star plays the part of Nan, a girl who attempts to burglarize a house in order to obtain evidence that will save her brother from prison. Caught in the act by the owner who happens to be virulent enemy of her fathers, she is compelled to promise to live with him as his niece for year, or else submit to the alternative of long prison sentence. The history of his motive, the consequence of it, and how Nan finally turns the table on him. and incidentally enriches her. self, is told in this amazing photo nIav. Reggie Mixes In'' is the title of the Fairbanks picture, and it sure is some laugh getter. Doug plays the part of young society man who, being tired of life, gets 0 job as houncer in one of the toughest resorts that the East side can boast of. The experiences that he has culminate in the greatest free-for-an old-fashioned scrap that the laughing kid has yet made Mable Normand, Harry Mercy, and John Bunny appear in some good selected featurettes, and a Triangle comedy completes the all-star pro- gram Tomorrow brings that beautiful star from the Sunny South, Virginia Pearson, who will come in her latest Fix hit Stolen Honor" powerful tale of mystery and intrigue in diplomatic Washington. This pie ture will be of particular interest to the ladies, as Miss Pearson wears some elegant costumes in it, the value of which mounts well up into the thousands. The new serial, ven geance and the Woman" will start on the same program, and one or those excruciatingly funny Fox Sun shine comedies, Shadows of Her Pest will furnish enough laughter for three shows. The Pathe News Will also be shown.

THE WARRIOR IS
 KEENEY'S BEST BET.

The program at Keeney's theater this week is one of the best ever seen at that house in some time. Capacity houses are enjoying at each per- formance the marvellous and stupen- dous spectacle, The Warrior" fea- turing Maciste, the marvellous giant hero of "Cabiria." As a rule, the public does not like pictures that are made across the seas, but 'The War rior'' is quite different. Not for a moment is the thread of elementary human passion lost in the great med ley of action that of necessity has it's place in a presentation of so momen- tous an issue as that shownv in this production. The picture is exquisite ly staged, and one can easily believe that the filming of it may have taken months. The Warrior has one fea- ture which will be difficult to dupli- cate in any other dramatic picture that the war produceS-good comedy. Maciste is a giant, all of seven feet in height, and when he grabs husky soldiers by the heels and throws them laughingly over precipices (suro enough precipices) the tragedy of high explosives is considerably diluted, Maciste pushes full grown horses and trees over as if they Were so much papier- -maChe. He IS the only ana original strong man of the movies. The love interest is so masterfully in. terwomen in this stupendous spectacle that while the mind is overcome with the greatness or the theme, you can not help but admire the marvellous strength of this wonderful giant Ma
 ciste. There is no trick photography, but facts. In addition to this feature there will be several comedies and other features, also an episode of the Universal serial, 'The Mystery Ship,' featuring Ben Wilson and his charm ing co-star, Neva Gerber. Three un- usually good vaudeville acts will con- clude the program.

We Must All HeID

It seems to me that the share of governments is to establish federal employment bureaus, of the public that means you and mel to consider 1t matter of conscience to make every effort to bring the man and the Job together, and of the individual affected to be willing, when the neces- sity has plainly been demonstrated, to try to do some different kind of work.
 I do not for one minute deprecate the burden and sacrifice these people bear. But I don't see why we should sheer off from it as something impos- sible. It has not been impossible for some millions of men to be killed, it has not been impossible for millions of women to see their sons and hus- bands and sweethearts and brothers march off.
 Shall we be more tender of our dollars than of the lives of our sons?"

HODGE AT PARSONS
 IN "POLLYANNA"

When William Hodge appears at Parsons on Friday and Saturday, he will present to the citizens of Hart ford one of the most unique and wholesome plays ever put before the American public. It is new four- act comedy drama from the pens of Earl Dorr Biggers and Lawrence Whitman and direct from a long and successful run at the Majestic the ater, Boston. It is entitled, "A Cure For Curables." In it MT. Hodge is just as wonderful and just as lovable as he was in his famous character in The Man From Home." But in this new character he will portray the role of pr. James Pendergrass, a young Kentucky physician, who has inherited a sanitarium in Virginia from his uncle. A provision in the will makes it necessary for the young man to cure ten patients within thirty days or forfeit the bequest There is a love story that is beauti- fu1 and no end of wit and humor of the typical Hodge brand.
 Oftentimes it's a great bother to be the star in successful play. Patricia Collinge, the little Irish girl who has made a success in "Pollyanna," play ing the title role, and in which she will be seen at Parsons theater for four performances, starting Monday, January 21, with matinee Wedne esday, has had her round of troubles with energetic manufacturers, advertising men and promoters. All of them wished to name something Polly anna" because the name is identified with gladness and the sweetness of

To avoid danger in canned fruits, after opening the tin, pour all the liquid into a saucepan and add a tas blespoonful of castor sugar. Bring to the boil; then put in the fruit, and let it get cold in the syrup. It is then ready for use. By this process the danger of any tin flavor, etc, is de- stroyed, and it does not spoil the taste of the fruit.

| LONDON, August 17-Lord Robert
Cecil. Under Secretary of State for
| Foreign Affairs. speaking recently at
the fourth anniversary OF the estab-
lishmcnt of the international commits
sion on revictualing. said he believed
the commission formed the nucleus Of
a league of nations.
lie said he would not venture to
speak OF all the United States had
done, and is doing. in the matter Of
| supplies. but he was satisfied they had
thrown their whole heart and soul into
| the contest.
X. b. Stevens. of the United States
Shipping Board. assured the diners
that enough shipping would be avail
able to win the war. He paid tribute
to Italy's splendid victory over the
Austrians.
During his address Sir Robert said:
I'VE now are not only In the alliance
with the greatest partnership Of ma
lions. but we are engaged in the
greatest enterprise taxing the energies
of mankind. All the suffering and all
the great strain on our resources can
be met only by the complete pooling
of Them.
Great Britain and America have not
suffered like some of the allies. They
| have been spared the misery OF in
vasion and the sight of their fairest
| provinces trampled by the cruelty Of
tyrannous enemies. That only means
| that we must redouble our efforts in
| the common cause. Every one knows
we have not spared our blood, money.
trade and shipping, and we are not
going to spare them. All these things
we are bound to do In the common
cause. All these things we will do.

tho realization that we are engaged in
a great cause-fghting for justice
against force; right against might. II
we are merely going to restore by our
victory the world to what 1t was be-
fore the war. then will not say this
war has been fought in vain. but we
shall have missed the greatest chance
/ ever offered TO generation of men.
I'VE must rebuild the international
| system. That is why / believe this
commission is the organization upon
which a league of nations can ulti-
| mately be built.
Il have said that we are in partner
| ship. 1t is by conforming to and ex-
tending that partnership that we. per-
haps. could show the way for future
organization of nations. I believe this
to be the greatest opportunity for
craftsmanship ever offered to mankind
1t is our business not to falter."
r. b. Stevens said:
while Americans live thousands Of
| miles away from the terrible politics
OF Europe. they to-day thank God they
are permitted to join in this battle.
They are men enough, with courage
enough and resources enough to de-
| feat the Germans. II Americans make
the necessary sacrifices. we will win
| the war within a year"
AS Mr.. Stevens closed. Lord Robert
again rose and said:
THE inspiring speech of Mr.. Stevens

! bring increased courage to all our
| hearts. We recognize the enthusiasm
/ and devotion of the American people.
