LYCEUM THEATER,.

Charlie Chaplin in Shoulder Arms and Vivian Martin in ''Unclaimed Goods,'' are showing at the Lyceum tonight for the very last time. Vivian Martin, in her new picture, will por~ tray 8 western role, that of the daughter of a sheriff, and her remark able experience is tat of being esnt ''by express from one town to an- other. Unclaimed at her destina ton, she is about to be sold at auction, when she is rescued and a, bad man" she had once befriended, sacrifices his life in her defense. The vaude- vile bill has three good acts.
 Tomorrow and for the remainder of the week the Lyceum will present William s. Hart in Shark Monroe". The versatility of William s. Hart is well known but his army of admirers who have seen him in his western portraya1s and naarve1led at his skill will lind him in an entirely new environment in, Shark Monroe". He is the master of a sealing schooner, whose reputation for ferocity is a by word along the Pacific coast. As the human shark in this picture, his is the embodiment of savage cruelty until a refining influence in the form of a beautiful brave girl enters into his life and transforms his nature This is an unusually thrilling picture.
 finely produced and has an excep- tionally brilliant cast of screen players. There will also be a new vaudeville show

TOX'S THE.ATER.

Charlie Chaplin, in ''Shoulder Arms" still continues to, fill FoN's theater, but all will have an oppor-
 tunity to see inimitable Charlie, as shoulder Arms" will be shown at Fox's all this week, closing Saturday night. Tonight offers the last oppor~
 tunity to see Theda Bara in '"The She
 Devil" and the vaudeville show head
 lined by the Four Lunds. Tomorrow
 brings Gladys Brockwel1 in ''The
 Strange Woman" her latest offering
 and a powerful drama taken from the
 stage play of the same name.
 "The Strange Woman is pictura
 ized version of the stage success ct
 the same name which ran for an en-
 tire season on Broadway. The pro-
 duction was written by William J.
 Hurlsburt and was later novelized by
 Sydney Mccall, more than one million
 copies of the book being sold. ''Tne
 Strange Woman is 8 play of Ameri-
 can life. The scenes are laid in Paris
 and a small present-day city in Iowa, and the contrasts are those of ideas and customs. The heroine does not believe in marriage. In Paris she found much sympathy; in Delphi, Ia., none. It is in no sense a preachy play but tells @ worthwhile story with mo- ments of dramatic intensity and abun- dance of quaint humor
 Gladys Brockwe1l, as "The Strange Woman,' having had one sad experi- ence of conventional married life in Paris, decides she will never be ! shackled by law again to another man. l Even her love for a young mericar ! architect does not alter her ideas, and 1 the contrast between ''The Strange l Woman and the hypocritical woman l she meets later in the Iowan town, ] her sweetheart's home, is most effec~ l lively shown.
 l Charlie Chaplin, In ''Shouldef ! Arms,' will continue to be shown at l F'ox's for the remainder of the week l this three-reel comedy causing more l comment than any previous comedy l offering ever shown locally. Charles ! rat trap, his cootie reliever, the egg l beater and bath tub, all find 8 place ! in his efforts to make trench life com l fortable for himself to the misery oi | his bunkies. The latest Pathe News l and Mutt and Jeff will also be shown ! with four new acts of vaudeville
