MARY PICKFORD ON
 SCREEN AT LYCEUM

Mary Pickford is seen at her best in ''The Little Princess which is the feature picture at the Lyccum for thc remainder of the week. Crowded houses Memorial Day put their stamp Of approval on the photOplay of Frances Hodgson Burnetts popular story. Miss Pickford plays tho part of a girl, Sara Crewe, who enjoys riches and suffers poverty and her many admirers have an opportunity of seeing her in situations abounding with humor as we'll as pathos. There are a. number of comedies and the Screen Telegram, showing the Arncri- can soldiers in France on the pro gram.
 The act of DeWinters and Rose which carries special scenery is one of the best seen at the local playhouse in some time. Both members of the team are very clever dancers. The Franklin Four, a quartet and Mildred Grover a singing and talking come dienne complete the vaudeville bill. The performance will be continuous on Saturday. Manager Glackin has booked Dorothy Dalton in "Flare Up Sal' for the first half of next week.

CONVERSION" ON
 SCREEN AT FOX'S

Miss Jewel Carmen the brilliant Fox star was presented at Fox's theater today in her newest vehicle Confession.
 There is plenty of drama and tragedy in this remarkably play and there are thrills and sobs a plenty, but the start is the merriest that could be imagined. It starts with a wedding and Jewel Carmen is the bride. As a bride. all the radiant charm of youth, good health and splendid spirits are combined with a beauty that makes her famous wherever films are shown. After the wedding the bride and groom slip away from their guests They are held up and all their belongings, in cluding the brides wedding ring, are taken. The loss of the wedding ring starts series of events that will stir all motion picture followers The climax is remarkable It is some thing new, done in a clever and ex- citing way Miss Carmen does the best work of her career in Confession. The desperate despair of the woman, who husband is about to be execu- ted for murder, is brought out by the actress, Jewel Carmen, with ter rife force. Her Mary. Anderson is one of the best characters that the screen has brought forth.

EVELATIONS OF A WIFE:
By ADELE GARRISON

nurse brought him the news of your return to consciousness He evident ly was most remorseful about some thing he told you to dO-thought he had sent you to death or some thing of that sort and his worry over it materially increased his danger.
 He must have been under a terrible strain, mentally and physically, for be- sides bringing you to the hospital, bundled into the tonneau of his car he had with him on the front seat q snarlng, shifty-eyed captive, who, he must have known, Was only watching for a mom entary weakness on his part to make good his escape"
 Did he get aWaY?" l asked fearful ly, and do you know what his naro@ was?'
 Ernest or Otto?
 For into my mind had come again the terror of the giant, Otto, which l had felt during my tem'oestuous n>- Journ at the inn. I felt inStinctivoly that of the two men Ernest had by far the better mentality. was a much mOrN dangerous man to have at large than the stolid brutal Otto with his single track mind. But from a, purely pr sonal standpoint I dreaded Otto fai' more than I did Ernest. Were he alive and free l knew my life was precarious thing.
 "I heard the officer address hinl half mcckingly as "Earnest.' Lillian replied and he didn't get away. Be fore the officer collapsed he turned him over to a brothr officer who hap pened to be here"
 'Almost 24 Hours.'
 Did you hear-a out--any-othcr- man?' l queried.
 Lillian looked at me keenly.
 There was one killed, I believe she said slowly, "at least that is Wh2' l gathered from what the officer said to his fellow when he came in here"
 Silently I leaned back against my pillows and closed my eyes for moment in sheer relief.
 But I rested for only a moment. The relief from the tension concerning Ernest had given mo new strength | felt that I could not let Lillian cease talking until she had told me every- thing she knew
 I opened my eyes and caught her i looking at me in grave concern. l smiled brightly at her. :,
 al1l JDSOluIolS ill TlSHl, l dS- sured her almost gayly, Tor shall be 1 when you have told me everything you l know. Just imagine losing all this time out of my life-how much is it, ! by the way?"
 You were brought to the hospital at twilight yesterday" Lillian replied l and it is now early afternoon" 1 Almost 24 hours" I exclaimed 1 Tell ne, how did you get here?" Never mind that now" Lillian re- 1 turned. 1T want you to hear about ] your officer first. It's a story worth l hearing, I can tell you"
 He isn't my officer" I returned l childishly.
 Lillian laughed
 1 If you had seen the way he 1ugged you in here you would have thought 1 you belonged to each other in some way" she said quizzically.

county 10 receive more money each
year for its schools.
