as troublesome as it was last as there
have been few fires. When the fire
alarm is given everyone turns out ito
fight it, and the horsemen galloping
from all directions toward the swift

Washington, Sept. 10. - Congress
will attempt this session to give to
the American people relief from the

in this comprehensive program, de-
signed to lower the food costs, will
be the introduction of bill putting

they make them.

"GARDEN OF ALLAH'
 FOX'S BIG MAGNET

Pulsa ting in it's dramatic tensity, surprisingly beautiful in it's scenic eff fects and gorgeous in it's elaborate magnifcence The Garden of AL lah" opened at FoX'S last night And the hUge audience that packed every available crevicc of the big play house was held in 8 hypnotic trance from the very beginning, to the end of the tenth reel that marks the end of the massive production. w. N. Selig took big chance when he decided to picturize Robert Kitchens famous novel of the Sahara desert, for to make it q success he had to surpass the splendid perfection of the stage version, which is conceded, without argument, to be the most pretentious and spectacular thing ever attempted in dramatic history. But in it's present form, as it ap
 peared on Fox's screen last night. The Garden of Allah" has attained the very pinnacle of perfection in every department. Tor the camera has all outdoors for it's setting, and is not hampered by the meaSer 1imi- tations of the stage. An eloquent example of this is found in the renc- gade monk, and his sweetheart Dom 1nl, as they are crossing the odnaTd Desert on their clandestine honey moon. A more gripping bit of real ism cannot be imagined The pie ture follows the story of the novel closely. It tells of the discontent of Boris, father of the Trappist mon astery, who runs away from his cloistered existence, and represent ts himself as a European traveller. Meet ing Domini Enfilden, the English woman. he meets love for the first time. and. unfortunately for both, the love is mutual. Domini, in bliss gull ignorance of her lovers past, a grees to keep the wedding secret. Then follows the narrowing soul ex- perience coupled with physical an guish out in the great Sahara. where, at the height of the terrific sand storm the girl learns the truth. The story of the mutual regeneration and redemptio that follows puts The Garden of Allah" in a prominent place among the screen masterpieces of the day For the first time in America. the picture is being shown at popular prices. It will be seen to- night and again tomorrow.

BIG PROGRAM AT
 KEENEY'S THEATER

Today starts in a, banner week at Keeney's both in the line of photo plays and vaudeville. For Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday, Monroe Sal isbury and Ruth Clifford are featured in Hands Down. a story of the times when men went forth in search Of gold. Monroe Salisbury gives a strong dramatic offering in the role of Dago sam; Ruth Clifford as Hilda, adds a, charm to her character that is appealing throughout. Tom Flynn was the only man in whom Dngo Sam had ever believed, and so when Sam found out that Flynn's girl was suspected of murder, and knew that she was innocent, despite forbidding' circumstances, he resolved to help her. But his good intentions were misunderstood and if it hadn't been for the wornanly thing that Hiida did, Sam would have gone on hating
 mankind for the rest of his natural life. The story contains many thrills and holds an audience spell bound throughout. The other feature on the bill is the popular Wm. $. Hart i,, His Last Haul,' a new portrayal of the Western good bad man. Thurs day, Friday and Saturday. the popu- lar Kenneth Harlan is shown with Carmel Myers in The Wife He Bought" Those who saw him in his last feature were loud in their praise

THE MANX-MAN"
 LYCEUM THRILLER

Headed by the greatest picture that has been filmed in many years, 'The Manx Man" adapted from Hail Gaines immortal novel of the same name, the Lyceum bill the first three days this week promises to be of quality never before reached, and on ., scale not heretofore attempted Three big acts of headline quality. and one big motion picture feature that will keep the public talking for weeks after the conclusion of it's run, are what will be offered the Lyceum patrons for the price of an ordinary show.
 While The Manx Man" has played New York and other large cities at prices averaging S2 or more a seat, the same film will be brought to this city and presented on the same pro- gram with a list of sterling acts, and there will not be one cent increase in price. Tn addition to the excellent features being offered. the Lyceum mana cement announces that a new orchestra has been secured, and is expected to enhance the program greatly.
 Last evening the orchestra made it's initial appearance and received ap- plause repea tedly on the rendition of special numbers.
 For today's program the Lyceum is outdoing itself. The Manx Man. 8 ten-reel story of human pasSion brings the unfolding of a tale that is ranked with the best examples of present-day American literature. From the Isle of Manx comes the hero, and from the pen of one of Americas foremost authors comes the story. From beginning to end the story is a gripping. virile, stirring tale of strong men. Of it Alan Dale, the most noted dramatic critic of the day said, This picture is the only one that has ever made mo weep.' and such statement goes a long way.
