JAPANESE ACTOR ON
 KEENEY'S SCREEN

. At Keeney'S theater Sessue Hayaka- wa appears as star in his latest Para mount photoplay. Hidden Pearls" from the story of Beulah Marie Dix. doors, and the scene is laid in a re- mote South sea island, of which Haya- kaWa is ruler, being the son of a na tive pricess, last of her line, and an American pearl trader. Failing in love with an alluring native maiden in his first visit to the island, ayakaWa pro- ceeds to fall suddenly out of love with the fiashy, snobbish American girl whom he had formerly almost Wor- shipped. Being called upon to DOT tray this sudden and violent change of sentiment by a twist of the story, it is needless to say that the popular Japanese player has responded noDly to the call. Director Milford, who also directed Haya1aWa with Fanny Ward in the Paramount picture The Cheat, is responsible for a generous share ot the success of the production, as is the splendid cast.
 Edith Roberts, a newcomer to the screen, will also be seen in charming production, "The Deciding Kiss" The first episode of "The Brass Bullet, will be seen for the last time today. Current Events, showing all the latest war news, and three unusually good vaudeville will conclude the program.

SIDE TALKS
Too Many Old Clothes
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Say what you will, there is a certain psychological influence eXerted by clothes over the people who wear them.
 Some people may be strong enough to nullify this influence, but I am sure our old friend, the average man or woman, is not.
 Sloppy Shoes Make Me Sloppy.
 I have been reminded of this fairly familiar truth by my experiences with a pair of shoes. It was an old pair of cOmmon-sense, rubber heeled, tan shoes left over from last summer The leather was much marred and rubbed, but they were whole, and the soles and hels were in fairly good condition; so, at the beginning of this season, I had them shined up, and as a conservation measure for myself and the leather market, de- cded to make them do for house. work shoes for the summer Unfor- tunately, I am one of those unlucky people who are constitutiOnally hard on shoes; in a month those shoes had grown much more shabby and sloppy, and I found that I subconsciously , dreaded putting them on. The sight of them under the chair displeased me. 1 caught myself inventing rea- sons why I should not wear them this morning or that, but should put on my afternoon shoes. And still I felt as if l ought to make them do.
 It Put New Heart Into My Work.
 And then I came to my senses, l don't know just why. I went to town and bought a good pair of white canvas oxfords. The next day (after combating the temptation to save them for afternoon because they looked so clean and nice when I got them home) put them on and went about my work in them. And, be- lieve me or not the feeling and the sight of those new, respectable shoes put new heart and efficiency into my work! I really think that the psychO- logical influence of those sloppy, shabby old shoes had been holding me back on my house work
 The same is true, and even more true I think, of mental work. If I am tired and my mind is working badly, nothing helps me like bathing, putting on fresh underwear and a gown that l like.
 A Tonic When One Is Tired.
 Or if I have not time to do all that, just getting up from my work, wash ing my face, combing my hair and putting on fresh collar will often put me into a better mood
 Of course there are people who think too much about clothes, but I think there are also people who do not think enough about them,-do
