The story of Evolves of the Rail,
an Aircraft picture starring William S.
Hart the Thos. H. Ince star, which
will be the attraction at the Wash
ington theatre next Wednesday and
Thursday, has the broad western coun-
try for its setting.
Hart is first seen as Buck" And
rade. a daring highwayman, whose
gang is feared and dreaded by the
officials of western railroad. Buck
conversion is effected at the bedside
of his dying mother, and he gives to
his task of reformation all the energy,
vitality and thoroughness that char
acterize his career as a hold-up and
all-around bad man. Buck becomes a
staunch champion of law and order,
a loyal protector of the railroad COM
pany's property, apd safe guardian
of government money, though he has
to fight his former gang to do so. OF
course there's girl in the case-Faith
Lawson, the operator in the railroad
tower at Smoky Gap. and the awaken
ing of Andrade's new character and
his steadfastness of purpose are part
ly the result of his love for her.
Magnetic Madge Kennedy appears
at last in a real out-and-out drama.
1t is "The Service Star" and, as it's
title indicates, is Of extreme timeli-
ness, appealing AS it does to every
owner of a service flag. When it
comes to the Washington theatre Fri
day and Saturday admirers of the
Goldwyn star are promised the double
delight of seeing her in a straight dra-
matte role and an original, powerful
play.
She is Marilyn March, a girl of ex-
IRENE plainness, who yearns for sol
der or sailor sweetheart such as
every other girl has. In desperation
she announces that she is the wife of
soldier whose heroism is proclaimed
in all the newspapers. At once the
young mans mother seeks her cut and
in terror Marilyn faces her, sure that
she will be exposed as an impoSter.
But the mother takes the girl to her
heart-and her home. Marilyn's story
is accepted without a question and she
is transformed from an unprepossess-
ing girl to a lovely young matron.

Lankert Death Result
of Paralytic Stroke

the death of Richard Lankart which
occurred few days ago at the county
infirmary was due to stroke OF paral-
ysis. to which he was subjected. This
accounts for the fact that there was
no cutlery from him. When he was
stricken he probably dropped his pipe
on the bed which caused a blaze. 1t
was thought at first that Lankert had
been burned to death.

The grinning Buddha that stands by
fZa's couch in one of the startling
boudoir scenes in "The Clemenceau
Case" which Is to be seen at the
Murray theatre on Sunday and Mon
day, is the gem Of the rare John
Pierepont Morgan collection Of antiq-
uities which was loaned to William
Fox by the Metropolitan Museum of
New York City for use in this produc-
ton. The idol was taken from the
Temple OF Kan Esh Kai, in the center
Of the province of Canton, China. 1t
was seized by an American officer
while the Boxer rebellion was in pro-

but will decide upon definite policy
of school relief. From the trend Of
expression at the Friday night meet
ing it seems that forecast of events
calls for the adoption of the ward or

Admitting the urgent need for relief,
the plan or policy, once decided upon,
will doubtless be followed by prompt
action. The Advisory Committee have
delayed action until this time hoping
that the delay would be justified by
permitting them to make contracts to
better advantage.
In order to give a slight relief to
the school for this coming session,
the Parish School Board has decided
to put temporary building for the
smaller children. Should the Advis-
ory School Committee recommend the
