THEATRE ATTRAC HONS General New. of Local Theatres, Screen Stars s and Features


Hines, to aid the well-known comedy aracter-Tillie-M Marie Dressler.
 This pretentious comedy feature has been called "Tillie Wakes Up'' and is veritable screm from start to finish The patrons of the Pal ace theatre certainly are in for a treat starting at the matinee tomor- row, when this play will be shown.
 The people who lived in the apart ment were the usual throng of city dwellers who beat on pipes for more steam and delight in prying into the affairs of their neighbors Although the knowing ones declared it a shame the way Tillie Tinkel- paw was treated by her husband, Henry said Tillie seemed to be los ing no weight because of that abuse. Tillie was, truthfully, neglected. She did not realize just how neglect ed she was until she happened to see what was not intended for her eyes. Then the fun starts and nev- CT ends until the end of the feature picture, "Tillie Wakes Up." Even when the story is over, the laugh ter does not subside as the incl dents of the play bring laugh whenever recollected.
 This is Marie Dressler's best work before the camera.

Actor Commits a Terrible Crime!

It is rather diametrical transi- tion for Wallace Reid that finds him now at work in the role of a man who commits a crime on a bet that he can evade the law for one year-this being the central idea of Relieve Me, Xantippe' while he has just completed "The House of Silence" wherein he is detec- tive in pursuit of criminal. How ever, Reid's knowledge of detective literature stands him in good stead in either case. Ann Little gets a chance in the new Paramount pie ture to wear buckskins again. In "The House of Silence" she is a New York girl tangled in the meshes of particularly difficult web of crime. Donald Crisp is di- recting the latest picture, also.

BRINGS REPORT FROM
 GOOD NEWS BAY LAND

Direct from Good News Bay, with fair reports, J. Pesteel has arrived in Seward and is a guest at the Hotel Seward MT. Pesteel came out from the region where the latest gold strike is reported, by long route going up the Kuskokwim to Me Grath, then hitting the regular ldit arod trail from there. MT. Pesteel says that north from the coast snow did not fall in the interior until the middle of last month.
 Regarding the possibilities of the Good News Bay section, MT. Pesteel says that although the diggings have been worked only on one creek, the returns have been most satisfactory ranging around SLY a yard. Tun' dra is shoveled into the sluice box es and the natural fall is good. The district is a large one but only ex' tensive work will demonstrate how rich the ground is.
 Coming out Mr. Pesteel met sev- eral parties going in, one consisting of seven men.

Hayakawa Is Strong For Daylight Saving.

 Strange to say" Hayakawa con tinued, '1 had planned something of this sort in connection with my own company, but, to use homely expression, the President beat me to it. My plan is to start the work of production an hour and half in advance of the time at which di- rectors usually start. The hour for beginning work on the Hayakawa productions is to be 7:30 a. W., and. of course, the general order Tor daylight saving will help out very nicely.

After letting loose of Duffy, said to him "rll break clean, all right. But suppose that fellow"-and I waved my hand carelessly in Sullivan's dl | suppose he takes a punch at me coming out of a clinch, just as l have shown you?"
 "I1l disqualify him if he does, ' answered Duffy.
 That's all l wanted to know, thank you," l answered.
 And then-for the first time since ] I had entered the ring-I looked squarely into the face of Sullivan. And I grinned My smile brought q most peculiar look upon the features of John l.. It was one of incred- ulity, of astonishment and it seemed to say: ' 8re fa Ne|&if43

Many Absorbing Scenes Are Shown in "The Beautiful Lie"

Beautiful Lie"
 "The Beautiful Lie," the Metro production starring Frances Nel- son, to be seen at the Coliseum theatre tomorrow is great poem dramatized. Presented by B. A, Rolfe, it has been adapted for the screen by June Mathis from Ella Wheeler Wilcox's famous poem, "A Reverie in a Station-House.' Se- lections from the most dramatic portions of the poem are flashed on the screen.
 Powerfully contrasting scenes are shown in "The Beautiful Lie" One of the most interesting of these is of a police court where women of lenders are arraigned. Here Louise Joyce (Frances Nelson) is brought under false accusation, and thrown in among criminals. Later she becomes an artists model, and the production shows typical scenes in New York's Bohemia" A painting of Louise as an "ice maiden" figures prominently. Advised by Mary, an unfortunate woman who aids hel when she is in need. to take all and give nothing. she presents a cold exterior to all men, and is painted in the character of the ice maiden by Paul Vivian a young artist. A yachting trip taken by prominent architect and his groom of bon vi wants adds to the colorful scenes with which this gripping photopla, .is filled. 2
