With extreme pleasure the management announces that the feature picture the last three days of the week will be Sunshine Nan with Ann Pennington in the leading role, and on the same program of unexcelled vaudeville. Recalling the strength of the first part of this week, closing with Ann Pennington and vaudeville might cause the com- ment that this is the end of per feet week"

Today's pro- gram, while devoid of Imaginable Charlie will be top-heavy with fea- lures in both the vaudeville and pic ture line.
 The latest George Beban feature Jules of the Strong Heart" in which Beban appeared to such splendid et- feet Monday and Tuesday will play it's final engagement this evening, and the vaudeville bill that went over so strongly the first two days will also be presented. Then there will be Peniamin Chapin again in the third Of his series "A Son of Democracy and other pictures, so this evenings entertainment will be one that any one who has not been at the Lyceum t11is week cannot well afford to miss.

Ailments Of Women

There is no denying the fact that thousands of American women drag along day in and day out suffering with these ailments peculiar to their sex which make life, burden. If women who suffer from dragging down pains, inf1ammatory, ulcerated or catarrhal conditions would only give that greatest of all remedies, Lydia F. Pinkhams Vegetable Com pound a trial, they would readily find relief from such suffering, as the many letters of commendation con- stantly being published prove.-advt

Hofer had thrust into my mouth, but when I was finally seated on the side of tho couch, my feet once more upon the floor, l realized that my first cff0rt must be directed toward the horrihlt thing which stretched my jaws apart

 I raised my bound hands over m, head and back to my neck, rejoicing that I had never neglected the daily exercises which keep my muscles iii and my fingers supple. l found th. removal of the gag child's play eve with my wrists bound The knot with which Mme. Hofer had fastened it wa an absurdly simple one,
 Then I attacked the wrist bonds with my teeth, first examining the knots carefully and finding the same painstakng lack of care on the part of the strange woman who had tied me up. It was comparatively easy to free my wrists. 1udicrously so to un- loosen my ankles, and then I was able to take from my cloak and dress the objects Mme. Hofer had thrust with in them.
 A small loaded pistol and a skele- ton key.
 l felt a warm surge of gratitude to the woman who had thus risked her own life for me, even though her req son for doing so was my real or fan cied resemblance to someone she had loved and lost. Because of her I didn't dare to rise from the couch and explore the room I must make no movement that would direct suspicion to my room. and thence upon her, un- til after I was sure that she was be- yond the reach of her comrades ven- geance.
 Torturing as the inaction was, realized that I must lie quietly for hours perhaps, stimulating the gag ging and trusting which Otto's eyes had declared satisfactorily done. But I found abundant occupation in ar ranging my bonds again and again. so that at the sound of a footstep I could quickly tuck the gag in my mouth and lay the bonds loosely over hot around-ny ankles and wrists 1 in such a manner as to deceive any ] one as far away as the door. And i just beneath my right hand was the ! pistol, little bigger than a toy, which I grimly resolved to use if it was ne- cessary for me to do so. The key had concealed again in my dress. It was perhaps two hours after Mime. Hofer had left me--hours in which l had heard much movem ent and confusion down below, evidently the preparations of those of the con- spirators who were getting away that I heard again upon the stairs the clumsy, stealthy footsteps of Otto. A Saving Interruption. I quickly adjusted my bandages and with my fingers tensely grasping the pistol, braced myself for the ordeal before me, my first essay against the life of human being. Curiously enough, l had no other thought but that I should shoot, and that accur- ately, the moment he crossed the threshold, My frame of mind was ex- actly that of someone trapped in a wild beast cage.

The Sun Fon Ling troupe of Chi nese artists presents one of the most startling acts of it's kind ever seen ir this city at the Hauber theater. as the headlining act on the bill for the last half of the week. Feats of marvel ous deXterity are performed with ap- parent ease, and no better act of this kind can be found anywhere.
 Annie Kent, the girl who writes her own songs, is simply a riot and her act is just one long laugh from start to finish. She has wonderful per sonality that makes every member of the audience "home folks" with her as soon as she steps on the stage, and she received a great reception at the performances yesterday and last night. Miss Kent is an artist of more than ordinary merit and she has those qualities that go to make her act one full of "pep."

Ince star has, it is said. outdone himself in this new picture which affords him material for redblooded, virile action. a portrayal of typical, young Ann crican the sort that is making this a nation to be respected by the entire world
 None of the week traits of charac- ter such as were frequently given Mir. Ray to interpret in prev ious pro dnctions are embodied in this role, which is one of the most congenial. according to all report, in which he has ever appeared.
 The story is by Rigwell Cullman directed by Victor Schertzinger, and has as it's leading features tre- mendouS fistic encounter in which Ray proves his proWess as a box CT; numerous sensational scenes and a plot that is original and full of splendid screen material. The story is based upon the successful effort of a youth. scion of a wealthy family. to turn five thousand dollars into a hundred thousand in six months. This is the task set by his father to prove his mettle.
 Viola Vale supports Mr. Ray, and is the only woman in the cast. Daw Slessen. George Nichols, ohn JP. LOckney. Charles K. French and George Hoffman are the other play CTS

ORPHEO THEATRE.

Never has Louise Glaum, known as the peacock siren of Triangle plays, worn such gorgeous clothes as those she affects in "Idolaters," which will be shown at the Orpheo theatre today and tomorrow
 Posted before an image of the sphinx in her Egyptian bedroom, a mirror leld aloft in her hand and her long silken gown sweeping over a glass panel through which pours a golden light, she is the symbol of vanity. Another costume that will attract remark is clinging creation of cloth of sold straight of line and unadorned except for cord around the waist. Tais gown was worn by Miss Glaum at a recent picture ball where she led the grand march.
 The star has the role of a vanity stricken woman who uses no scruples in attempting success on the stage. Her love of luxury. indicated by the Egyptian love nest tfHt she occu- pies, carries her beyond sanity. Re- tributiOn Of ironic force is visited up~ on her, when in a moment of rage she kills lover who has sacrificed his own career for her. She is fore cd to take flight. and her only refuge is in sordid tenement of an ugliness which she has always loathcd.
 A cast including George Webb, Hu. so B. Koch. Dorcas Matthews. Lee
