At the Theatres

The latest Thomas H. Ince produc-
ton starring William S. Hart and re-
leased by Aircraft, is "'Blue Blazes'
Rawden," a tale of the Canadian
northwest, which will be exhibited at
the Majestic tonight. During the film
ing of this picture the entire floor
space of the Hart studio was occupied
by massive structure solidly built of
rough hewn logs. The story is laid in
the Canadian northwest, and the
building represents a combination ho-
tel, gambling house and dance hall
that supplied all the requirements of
good shelter and amusement for the
lumberjacks. Most of the scenes of the
play are enacted under this roof, and
there is little Of the wild, outdoor life
usually associated with a Hart pic
ture.
1t is no wonder that Mary Miles
Minter is constantly growing more
popular with the public, for she is
improving steadily in both appear
ance and acting. In Beauty and the
Rogue" at the Majestic Tuesday, the
star has a typical Minter role, just a
lOvable, trustful and tender hearted
little girl who wants to help every
one else, thoroughly enjoys romping
around in overalls, plays all kinds of
tricks on Dick just because he be-
lieves her a boy There is plenty of
fun throughout the play and an inter-
esting story. A great deal of credit is
due Oral Humphrey for his portrayal
OF the role of Bill Dorgan, the eccen-
trio burglar. His impersonation adds
much to the comedy of the feature.
One Of Arthur Stringer's most pop
ular stories, ''The Button Thief" has
been adapted to the screen by Tri-
angle under the title From Two to
Six" and will be presented at the
Classic on Tuesday with Winfred AL
len and Earle Fox in the featured
roles. Miss Allen is one of the most
charming actresses on the screen and
IN this production she works to fine
advantage. Earle Fox will be remem-
bered for his work opposite Con-
stance Talmadge in "The Honey
moon In the supporting cast are seen
Forrest Robson, Robert Fischer, Mar
garet Greene, Clarence Handyside.
Charles B. Wells, Madeline Marshall
Amy Somers and Riley Hatch.
Roy Stewards late western picture,
produced by Triangle under the direc-
ton Of Cliff Smith, was written by
Randolph Parish, the famous short
story writer and novelist It is titled

shown at the Classic tonight. In the
supporting cast are Josie Sedgwick,
Herbert ellis, Pete Morrison, Will
liam El'ingford, Wilbur Higbee and

days when the Texas rangers were po-
Icing the Mexican border and when

The welfare work in the towns of
Watertown, Ixonia and Milford is we'll
under way. Mrs. William SprOesser

ing the work to the teachers and 9TH

rural districts to cooperate with the
government in the child welfare
movement.
A patriotic program was given in
District No. 8, town of Watertown on
Friday evening. 1t consisted of sing
ing, recitatiOns, and two-act play,
"Over There" by the older pupils of
the school All showed excellent train
ing and was thoroughly enjoyed by
the large audience present.
Following the school program R. C..
Twining of Waterloo gave a stirring
lecture on the war in which he eluo-
gized the work of the Red Cross in
France. When the French people were
nearly discouraged the Red Cross put
new life into their hearts Miss Wilder
gave talk on Child Welfare The ev-
ening closed with box social.
