Sweetheart:


am writing on the top OF q tre-

the Summit House near Uniontown!
I guess we are at the top OF every

derstorm broke, just as we reached
this place, 50 we hastened In The
remembrance of the other storm
was too vivid for us to risk an open

we would walk with gratitude on
level ground all the rest OF our
days. One awful hill was called
Turkeys Nest! Jerry and Greeley Ike
ourselves had maintained a frozen
silence, but as we cnRwled up that
dizzy winding place. Jerry remark
ed that he would hate to tackle q
Thanksgiving bird whose wings
were tough enough to fly up there,
At the top, as we paused for
breath. we Joined little colony OF
automobiles. all OF them with radia-
tors boiling, and shooting water
into the air like a nest of geysers
in the Yellowstone Park. The faces
of the autoistS had a look OF frozen
incredulity as though they had no
idea how they got up. and much
less how they would get down!
We had courage to look about 10
as we paused-and Oh, what q pic
ture, No artist could possibly
pain it! Nothing but the hand of
God could blend those colors. and
shape those hills and valleys, and

whether II was the Promised Land
we looked out over. or only fields OF
homely cultivation. softened by
distance ana so charmed into q ten

do know that the picture was one
TO which my mind will ever revert

I do not care to dwell upon the
trip DOWN the mountain! The hor-
ror OF II is too recent! The law Is
inexorable, you know. that what

though the seasick wag declared
that What goes down, must come

CONSTANCE TALMADGE
 IN FEATURE AT HIP

Constance Talmadge. the comedienne, is back at the Hip in a brand new one, "GCod Night Paul" It might, one critic said, under less skillful handling develop into a very risque bit of mar rative, for it has to do with two young men and one of the young mems wives, tplayed by Constance Talmadge) The two young business men are broke, their credit is gone, and they are about to give up, when the single one re- ceives a letter from his very wealthy uncle advising him that if he is mar rted when the uncles comes for a few hours stay he will settle s50,000 on the young fellow to help along his married career.
 "Paul' is a woman hater and balks at the married thought, but his part ner's wife is bound they shall have the money to bolster up the business so she poses as the wife of the bachelor partner and she so captivates the old man that he decides to remain a month instead of a few hours and then things happen so fast that one wonders where the end is going to be when the doting old r'nunkie' insists on tuclling the newly weds, as he calls them, into bed.
 The stunts they go through to escape AiiS hliluly dlltIllO1S make lfllS a very charming picture play. The girl, played by Miss Talmadge, is equal to the occasion and she plans and con- hives until "Nunkie" is fooled into making a good match for himself, nephew Paul marries, and they have a real old time confession from all hands. but not until the actors and the audi ence go the limit trying to meet the occasions that arise when "Nunkie' takes things into his own hands.

TOM MIX FEATURE
 AT LAMARA TODAY

One might be tempted to call the bill at the Lamara today a hydra headed affair for it has two heads and both are equally attractive. so it must De catalogued as a truly double offering.
 Tom Mix, who is perhaps better known in Arizona than any movie actor on the screen, and who for sev- eral years was located at Prescott where he made film history with his daring feats of horsemanship. is to be seen today and tomorrow in Ace High" his latest Fox special produc- ton.
 Ace High" takes the fast riding Mix into a new locale and if it did not give him a chance on a horse it could not be a Mix picture. True it is, that he is divorced for the moment from his big hat and his chaps, but he shines never theless as an officer of that finest body of police in. the world, the Canadian Northwest Mounted.
 He plays the part of a member of this great outdoor police department, and the tale winds around his finding a baby girl with her dying mother in the snow When this girl, grown to Womanhood, is about to be placed in a notorious dance hall by the man who adopted her, this dashing rider of the pines fights his way to her side and after two smashing battles takes her to her real father and the inevitable wedding follows.
 Laid in the snow country of Cana dian Alaska, with the big rocks, the white mantle of the north, the rugged men, the dogs and the fast moving life of the cold country. this picture should at this time have an especial appeal.

lAMARA

Tom Mix, Billy Burke and Sussue Hayakawa, the Japanese actor. divide honor5 on the Lamara bill for the week starting this morning.
 Tom Mix returns to the Lamara screen in the first of the William Fox productions which are now identified with the firm of Richards and Mace and the well known stars and pictures of this splendid producing concern will in the future be shown exclusively in the houses of this firm. Mix occupies the Sun lay ard Monday dates and gives way to Titan haired Billy Burke one of the most charming women on the stage or screen.
 Miss Burke comes for Tuesday Wednesday. Thursday in w. Sommer- set Maugham's sparkling dramatic story, "The Land of Promise Miss Burke, than whom the stage or screen holds no more fascinating character, is one of the daintiest and best liked of the recruits from the ranks of the legitimate. She has done several pie lures for the screen including Peggy" and "The Mysterious Mrs. Terry" These have all been exquisite works and have proven very popular with the movie fans.
 "The Land of Promise" besides being vehicle for Billy Burke, is of interest in that it was written by w. Somerset Maugham one of the most prolific and successful of the stage play builders. A Burton Holmes travelogue will aug ment this bill for it's three days stay. The final two days of the week will return to the Lamara screen that famous and talented oriental Sussue Hayawaka, the great Japanese actor He comes in his newest Paramount creation, For the Honor of His House." a story dealing with the love of two men for one woman One a high class Jap, played by Sussue Hay | awaka and the other an American col lege professor, both love half caste Jap girl, whose mother was Japanese and whose father was an American. The girl and the two men.are thrown on a shipwrick and the males battle for the girl. How the Jap wins her when the other turns to drink, and how he later tries to kill her with drug, and when he learns that she is to be- come the mother of his child he works | night and day to discover the antidote | for the poison he has given her and has to call on his hated rival for the
