FILM PETROVA FOR
 THE LIGHT WITHIN

The filming of the second starring va will shortly make her appearance, '"rhe Light Within" produced by Larry Trimble, involved the execution of many important details necessary in the staging of the story by Mrs. l.. Case Russell. Prominent among these was that portion of the script calling Tor the use of a turtle. Matters would have been greatly simplified if the turtle had been of the garden or common variety, but the property list explicitly called for the services of a MasCarine turtle.
 The dominant thread of "The Light Within deals with the use of a se- rum to combat the ravages of the dreaded anthrax germ. This serum can be furnished only by the species of turtle which comes from the Masca- rine Island. This variety of turtle is extremely rare, there being but two such animals in the country, the Zoo- logical Gardens of New York possess ing one of the highly prized specimens. TO Eddie James, assistant to Larry T>rimb ble, was assigned the task of get ting the Mascarine turtle necessary to the production of The Light Within"
 After a fruitless canvass of tho city, James finally discovered the existence of the desired speces at the Geological Gardens. In order to secure it's use for the necessary scenes in the Pe- trova picture, a bond of five thousand dollars was placed as a guarantee against it's safe return. Needless to say, MT. James spent many sleepless nights guarding the welfare of the lit tie animal. The attention bestowed upon this unique actor of the films would have turned the head of any ordinary film star, and at the comple- ton of "The Light Within,'' James re- turned the precious Mascarine turtle to the Geological Gardens with a sigh of relief.

her sunny disposition and winning
 personality have completely captured
 the hearts of all who have seen her,
 and as a result there is no more pop
 ular star in the movies today than
 this little girl with the lovable smile.
 MT. Bunny is too well known and too
 popular locally to require any lengthy
 introduction or dissertation on his
 abilities as an actor. Associated with
 the legitimate stage for years, he has,
 like many other big stars found true
 expression for his talent through the
 screen, and '"The Heart of Romance" is his first Fox success The story of the picture is that of a young writer who is in love with Eloise (Miss Ca
 price). But he is poor, and Judge Stafford, Eloises guardian George Bunny) fears that he is fonder of her money than of her. To test the young man, the guardian advises sev- eral tests. These are exciting in the extreme. At one point, Eloise joins the chorus of a Broadway musical comedy, to make her sweetheart be- lieve that she has lost her fortune. Although all ends well, there are some deliciously exciting incidents in the story which keep the picture in tcnscIy interesting throughout. The thrills start early in the fourth chap ter of 'Veng ngeance-and the Woman, for it will be remem bercd that the last episode left Blake in mid-air as he was climbing the side of the ra- vine to rescue his wife, until the rope by which he was suspended was shot in two by the bandits How he eff fected his escape from their clutches and saves the girl, makes one of the best serial installments vet. Billy West. that young comedian who is everywhere acclaimed as Charlie Cha plin's only rival will mako his first appearance at Tox's today in real ly comic two-reel picture. Mutt and Jeff in 'Ventri7oquists,' add lots of laughter to the occasion, and the Pathe News brings the Up-to-date news of the world in pictured form. The feature for Sunday and Monday will be that sensational seven act Fox standard picture of life in the court of the unscrupulous French king, Louis the Fifteenth Madame Dr Rarry.'' in which the imm ortal ,rheda Bara enacts the title role, that of a peasant girl who rose to be the favorito of the king.

children, proved one of the most de- lightfully entertaining numbers ever seen at the theater. Their musical numbers were eXcellently rendered and a good line of comedy was inject ed with successful results. Mccarthy and Lowering, two girls with a line of goods that went oyer in fine style, and Watsons trained dogs, a novel act that kept the young ones roaring with delight, were also on the program, making three acts, each of a head line nature. The warm reception af- forded these offerings at the per formances yesterday bespeaks the sat isfaction on the part of the public.
 Jack Pickford and Louise Huff in ''Jack and Jill" one of their typical offerings, rounded out the program. The Lyceum Weekly and several com edies, in addition to the attractions mentioned, will be at the theater to- day and tomorrow.

NEW VAUDEVILLE
 AT LYCEUM PLEASES

Once again seemingly thousands poured through the doors of the Ly- ceum theater yesterday afternoon and last evening when a change of motion pictures and vaudeville brought two of the largest crowds of the season into the ever-more- popular growing place of entertainment And once again is the management proud to take off it's hat and bow to the plaud- it's of the masses who again declared the program better than that of any other theater in the city.

SHARPSHOOTER AT
 KEENEYS THEATER
|72=z;lrc,. =.

One of the most sensational acts ever seen in this city is being shown at Keeney's this week by Capt. Jack Leffel, the champion sharpshooter- Capt. Leffel displays some remarkable stunts in shooting at targets and ob- jects from the head and mouth of his lady assistant. For his feature shot he introduces what is known as the bullet-proof lady. He claims he shoots a bullet through the young ladys body, breaking a light of window glass directly behind her. A commit tee is called upon to examine rife and ammunition, and the feat is per formed with them on the stage and in full view Of the audience.
 Fertig and Dunn, a man and woman singing act. are well received at each show; also the Three Virginians, a clever musical turn with a Colonial setting Bob Madison, the singing miner, renders his songs in a pleasing manner and furnishes quite novelty with a moving picture showing him self at work in a coal mine in Nova Scotia.
 The photoplay offering is the talent ed Dorothy Phillips in a five-part dra- matic production, "Broadway Love" The story deals with Broadway and midnight life on the Great White Yay." Supporting Miss Phillips are such stars as William StoweH and JUanita Hansen. Miss Phillips. who plays the part of a chorus girl in 8 Broadway production, is afforded many splendid opportunities to dis play her acting that has made her a Broadway star. The picture had a successful run at the Broadway thea ter in New York and made quite a hit with those that saw it here yes terday. Several comedies and the Current Events complete the enter tainment.

SIDE TALKS
Some Thoughts on Knitting
BY RUTH OAAdERoN

l have a friend, very eStimable woman who does a great deal of good in the ways of her choice, and yet is very much opposed to what she calls 'the way women have gone crazy about knitting for the soldiers" "
 ''I think it is perfectly ridiculous" '" she says, "the way women lug their knitting about to public places and knit on, cars and at lectures and all that sort of thing. A pose I cali it. Why can't they be more reasonable about it?"
 Is It a Time to Be Reasonable?
 If our men who are giving up busi- ness, their homes, their friends and possibly life itself Cor maybe more> for the cause are in need of warm things,-and presumably that is why we are knitting,-is it time to be reasonable and sensible and decorous in our choice of times for knitting?
 She says this devotion is a pose. Perhaps it is with some people. But there are good poses and bad poses and if this pose contributes toward the health and well being of our soldiers I call it a mighty good pose and regret that more women aren't posing. Of course if one can be ami mated purely by loyalty and the passionate desire to help, so much the better. But not everyone is big enough for that.

 have also heard people make fun of men for knitting. I can't think, of anything finer. I think it is quito bit more splendid than for women to knit because it means going out of their sphere and bravipg ridicule am told that some of the men students in my alma mater knit dur ing lectures. If it is true I am more proud of my college than ever. A man who runs a little inn in the Rockies, told me that he had a boys club consisting of boy scouts from twelve to eighteen staying with him $ast summer and every one of those ooys were knitting. I call that per fectly splendid.
 Not so pleasing is the chronicle of a man whose sole occupation is be- ing the husband of his wealthy wife. He knits a great deal of the time,- making sweaters for himself. I am sure the Kaiser would welcome that mar to Berlin.

If this model is a sample of the next seasons trend in hats, it is pretty certain that conservation of materials is not going to apply to hats. The designers don't care how large they make their creations and if all their results will turn out as pretty as this charming hat, few will wish to curtail them. Though designed for spring, this exquisite hat is just the thing for those who intend to spend the rest of the winter far below the Mason-Dixon line. It is of black and white voile, with a brim of black straw
