SCENIC THEATER.

Thero will be all extraordinary pro- duction presented at the Scenic thea ter today and tomorrow when the great picture '"Te-nptation' comes for a two days showing. The story which surrounds the showing of this won derful and remarkable picture is un- usually clever, depicting the experi- ences of a class of young college men and ladies who have pledged them selves to a clean moral life for one year after graduation. Only one of the young men in the class lives up to his promise and he is given the final test which brings about scenes which cause this motion picture to create 9 great sensation wherever it has been shown. The young man is led into the garden of temptation where mod ern Eyes bask in the sunlight in all their feminine beauty. Carm el Myers is featured in this story based on the delicate subject Of. eugenics and pre- sents an a1legorical screen produc- ton which is marvelC us for it's beauty of settings in which the dancing girls with charming grace dance about like fairies. This picture will be shown for two days only.

LYCEUM THEATFR.

''The Turn of the Wheel" with Geraldine Farrar, is playing at the Lyceum. The romantic and dramatic atm osphere of Monte Carlo supplies the environment. Spirited action holds sway from the very beginning, where Miss Farrar, as Rosalie Dean, wrests a revolver from an American traveller who has lost his all at the gaming tables in the casino at Monte Carlo. Later she is attacked in her apartment in New York by a man of ill-repute from whom she is seeking to extract a confession that will clear her sweetheart of the charge of mur- der.
 The new vaudeville is of good uual- 1ty and includes Wallen and La Favor in comedy novelty offering; May Gardner, the girl at the piano. who has loads of comedy songs and Mabel Whitman and Dancing Sunbeams, 8 colored comedy team. The big serial, Houdini, is coming next week.

HEATER BILLS TONIGHT

[ leads them both to the same mending shop. There being a romance full of novelty which ends haprily amid the shr1eking of fire engines and police whistles. In Caught in the Act" Miss Hyland is ably assisted by George Bunpy, Leslie Austen and a large cast of prominent Fox artists.
 In "Truthful Tulliver," with Wm. S. Hart, we have a gripping and tragic love story that ends happily; a tre- mendous battle for morality that be- gins with the newspaper he has founded stirring gun-fights and matchles riding all combine to give Hart a role fit for his heroic charac- ter. There are some big scenes in the picture that will send thrills up and down your spine, also color and at- mosphere are all combined in Truthful Tulliver." There will also be four of the usual Fox vaudeville acts tomorrow and Wednesday with the above features.
 For the last half of the week the Fox management offers the latest big film sensation "Borrowed Clothes" with Mrs. Charlie Chaplin (Mildred Harris) This feature has been play ing the Broadway Theater New York City, the last six weeks with "Shoul- der Arms these two features being a veritable nine days wonder on Broadway With Borrowed Clothes" will also be offered the mystic Ali Rajah'', in a marvellous exhibition of mind-reading, mental telepathy and second sight.

SISTER-IN-LAWI IS
 CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Richard O'Keefe Shows Some
 Eztenuating Circumstances

"A brute, for whom jail is too good" are the words in which Prosecutor Klett characterized Richard O'Keefe, charged with non-support and as- saulting his sister-in- law, Catherine Cleary. O'keefe, who stands feet inches and weighs over 18O pounds was arrested yesterday afternoon when he returned to his home after an absnce of six months, and was placed on trial this morning on the two charges, the latter having taken place last March, when he hit Miss Cleary in the eye, discoloring the optic and causing her to be confined to her bed for week. O'Keefe was represented by Attorney William F. Mangan, and was given his choice of three months in jail or furnishing a bond of $500 to pay his wife $10 @ week for s months.

the best in which Elsie Ferguson has ever appeared and is full of thrills and interesting incidents combined with a love story extraordinary. The latest episode of the great serial, The Iron Test" will also be shown and no one who is following this picture should fail to see this chapter, as it is very interesting and has a great bear ing on the remaining episodes. A very clever Nitagraph comedy and the Weekly are also on the program. AS an extra added attraction there will be shown an American Red Cross feature in two very interesting parts. Don't fail to see this picture. It is the real thing and will give you true
 insight into what the Red Cross has done and is now doing to alleviate the sufferings of war. The vaudeville this 1 week is exceptionally good, three big
 time acts being on the boards. 4 1 complete change of show each Monday 1 and Thursday.

children, the youngest of whom is but four months old O'Keefe works only occasionally, his wife claims, and she has been depending upon Miss Cleary, who is her sister, for support while he 'loafed'. Miss Cleary frequently visited her sister and at times lived with her when her husband was away. Frequently O'Keefe and his sister-in- law had arguments. Coming home last March he found her in the house, and an argument followed in which O'Keefe assaulted both his wife and her sister. He then ran away from the house and did not re- turn until yesterday afternoon. He has been working in the Connecticut Institution for the Blind in Hartford, earning besides his board, $70 month.
 He admitted striking his wife and sister-in-law, and also admitted the other charges preferred against him, but said that he struck Miss Cleary only when she threatened to stab him with bread knife. He is willing he said, to support his wife and family if Miss Cleary stays away. He has been arrested before for non- support. Because of the temperament Of Miss Cleary, exhibited in the court room by her "butting -in'' while wit nesses were talking, Judge MeskilI ruled that her temperament was one that would be likely to cause trouble in the home and suspended Judgment on the assault charge.

air service have made good use oi the
fine surf bathing and outings available
tlong this picturesque coast of sunny
France, and look forward to the COM
ing of winter with but little worry as
our living conditions have been so
much improved. Our camp is a most
wonderful place anu IS kept in that
orderly manner which "old sea dogs"
