CHANGE OF BILL

A complete change of bill, all the motion picture offering will greet the patrons at the Lyceum theatcr today, and while it might not sound con Sistent with statements made in the past, or rather an application of sim liar statements made concerning different things. the management can not refrain from prophesyinig that the bill looks as though it will set @ faster pace than has yet been set
 The first half of this week brought ''The Manx Man. stirrng>Glm adapt ed from the novel Of the same title by Hall Caine, and while it went over as one of the biggest features of the year, persons desiring pictures of a lighter vein would havo appreciated a picture of less strength and viriity.

HARLAN
 ON KEENEY'S SCREEN

The photopIay feature at Keeney's for today, Friday and Saturday is the latest Bluebird production, 'The Wife He Bought,' with Kenneth liar Ian and Carmel Myers in the leads. Mir. Harlan is remembered by many popular leading man of the Lycelm Players and theyf should all turn out to see him in this latest photoplay feature. ''The Wife He Bought" is a screen version of Larry Evans story, "One Clear Cau.' Mir Harlan enacts the role of the husband who married for vengeance only to be led into paths of happiness by the in- huence of the good woman who had reluctantly become his wife. There is a convincing demonstration as the moral of the picture. that happiness is something money cannot buy. A new episode of the Mystery Ship with Ben Wilson is also shown along with the Current Events of world wide interest. The Eight Neapolitans are still the big hit of the vaudeville show with their high class musical turn. Madame Quinto, a prima donna with the act renders the Star Spangled Banner with the assistance of the band. "The Son-in-Law'' pre- scented by four capable actors offers the biggest laughing sketch on the stage today. This is an act well worth seeing. Frances Moore, a sing ing commedienne, wins favor with
 her sweet singing.

offered, make ID the bulk of tho bill. The picture in which Mir. Williams is starred is q strange tale of q father whose moral fiber has been so far weakened that he takes bitter and unnatural revenge upon his only son ! to repay. as he thinks, his dead wife for her apparent infidelity to him. Williams plays the part of Patrick 4ardley Q we'll meaning, but luXuri ous young spend-thrift, who, after he 1 has spent all his money and turns to his father for more, is refuSed and laughed at. The father tells him that he has purposcly trained him from childhood to be q, worthless good- fOr-nothing in order that he might be a discredit to his mother, whom he resem bles, and who had disappeared under mysterious circumstances some years before. There is a rip
 ping good mystery plot woven in with the main story which helps to make up one of the most interesting fea- lures that the Nitagraph company has made 'The Vagabond" is the only picture in which Charlie Chap lin has been permitted to really be- come sentimental, and his love-affair gives him some new opportunities for mirth provoking antics. Another good laugh -getter on the bill is Ills Punctured Career" a novel Keystone comedy with some funny situations and a surprise conclusion. The Ford Weekly shows some very interesting scenes in some of the Officers Train ing Camps of the United States as they look today.
 Tomo-row's feature is destined to be the big sensation of the photo play age. It is an absorbing nine reel punch picture dramatized from Victor Hugo's famous novel Les MiserabIcs" in which William Far mum plays the part of Jean Valjean the unfortunate French peasant who was sentenced to serve nineteen years in a French prison for stealing a loaf of bread. This is without a possible doubt the greatest piece of work in which Farnum has ever appeared, and it will go down in history as the most thrilling and graphic th1ng that that master mind of realism, William Fox, has ever produced. In order to accommodate as many aS poSSl Die, Les Miscrables" will be held at Fox's for five days.

 As usual the stand of vaudeville will continue par excellence. Each number will be a headliner of first water. Topping the list will be "The Four Slickers," two men and two women in comedy offering tho act being suitable to head any bill. To continue, Hazel Muller &s Company in 0 singing and piano offering and Burns &, Jose in nov city dancing offer wind up the list. The Lyceum orchestra will furnish it's share of the program.

WOman's Devotion to Homo

Home duties to many women ap- pear more important than health. No matter how i'll they feel, they draw themselves through their daily tasks, overdo and pay the penalty in head aches, backache, dragging down pains and nervousness; they become irrit- able, and finally discover that some form of female complaint has fast ened itself upon them. When a wom- an gets into this condition there is one tried and true remedy made from the roots and herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, which for more than forty years has continued it's great work among women in restoring health aft CT many other remedies have failed.

How Madgc and Harry Underwood settled Themselves for Their
 Little Talk Together.

1 shall not soon forget the varying sensations that SaCe Ot me while traversing at Harry Underwood's side the short block of Fifth avenue be- tween the corner Of the Public Lii brary grounds at Fortieth street and the corner of Thirty-ninth street, round which we turned.
 Terror and humiliation were my portion. Fear that Dicky, Grace Draper or even some casual acquaint- ance should see me walking in appar- ently friendly fashion with this social pariah hastened my steps to a gait far quicker than the one 1 usually en- ploy.
 l was cowardly enough to shrink, physically and mentally, from the scene I knew would ensue if Grace Draper should catch sight of me. Not that she would care a. whit if Harry Underwood and I walked the entire length of Fifth avenue and back again. But the pent-up malignancy of her ennity toward me couldn't be re- strained if shc saw a chance to hu- initiate me by a scene.
 But, of course. the terror which most obsessed me was the possibility of encountering my husband. What DickN would think, what Dicky would say, were he to see me walking with Iillian's recreant husband whom he supposed me to be aiding Lillian in a difficult task confronting her, I shran1 from ina agining
 The fact that I was aiding Lillian in one of the most difficult tasks she had ever faced wouldn't help the sit uatiOn in the least.

Former Gear !, S te
of Collapse Preceding
Execution by Russ;ans

Amsterdam, July s1.--Given two
hours in which to prepare for the end.
Nicholas Romanoff, former Russian
emperor, was taken out Gby his execu-
tioners in a state of collapse, so that
1t was necessary to prop him against a
post. says the Lokal Anzieger of Ber-
lin, which claims to have received from
q high Russian parsonage an account
of the emperor's last hours.
Nicholas was awakened at o'clock
in the morning by patrol of nom
commissioned officer and six men. He
was told to dress and then was taken
to room, when the decision of the
soviet council was communicated to
him.
The former emperor received the
announcement of the sentence Of death
with great calmness. He returned to
his room and collapsed. He then asked
for priest, with whom he was allowed
to remain unattended. Subsequently
he wrote several letters.
When the execution squad arrived a
soldier and the priest assisted him to
his feet.
AS he was unable to stand without
support when the place of execution
was reached he was propped against a
post. He raised his hands and seemed
to be trying to speak but the rifles
spoke and he fell dead.

Aviator Leaps From
Plane With Parachute
and Lands Safel,
rBy the Associated Press. ]


With the American Army in France.
July 30.--Captain Sarret. French
aviator. has carried out the first ex-
pertinent on record of falling from a
moving aeropan with a parachute.
Captain ,Sa-ret dropped 500 yards
with an umbrella twelve feet In dia-
meter and landed safely.
He occupied and fell from the OBJ
servers position but similar expert
ments for the pilot will be undertaken
soon.
Th, aviator crawled out of his seat
when the plane was above smooth
ground and hung by his hands with
the parachute attached to his body.
When he jumped the parachute opened
perfectly and bore him gently to the
ground. whers l1e landed unharmed.
This Is the first time an aviator has
Jumped from machine with a para
chute. Experiments in the past have
been made with sandbags. which were
cut loose at varying heights.
Aliho Captain Serrats trial was made
at a height Of 500 meters. it is declared
thert, is no obstacle to jumping great
er d stance since the parachute has an
even better chance to open. When sue
cess''ul the employment of parachutes
will save the0ives Of many aviators,
Airnlen will be able to leave their
flaming machines and will not meet
death as did Mai, Raoul Luflbery. on
May 10.
Captain Serrat was In the air about
three minutes. He was completely
compcsed on landing and wrote O brief

Washington. July s1.-Answering the
charges under investigation by the
senate committee on military affairs.
Secretary OF War Baker asserted that
General Pershing has requisitioned a
large shipment Of De Haviland air
planes. This Is the type alleged to
have proved useless at the battle front
in France. but it is understood radi-
cal changes in it's construction are be-
ing made to meet General Pershing's
demands.
Mr. Baker intimated in a carefully
phrasetl statement that the De Havi-
land has not measured up to the
requirements Of actual aerial warfare
in France and that improvements are
being made in the plane which it is
hoped will make 1t satisfactory. The
secretary declined to discuss the state
mnt Of a democratic member Of the
senate committee that he had been un-
able to find that any American air.
plane has ever been flown successfully
at the battle front.
Il have decided to say this to you
