THURSDAYS program at this popular
nlavhouse includes the exquisite star,
Emmv Wehlen in the five part romantic
comedy. ssThe Shell Came" Mr. and Mrs.
Sidney Drew and Paramount Photograph
and Cartoon. Something about "The
She'll Game" follows: 'Silk" Wilkins,
confidence man de luxe, selects Lawrence
Grav. wealthy real estate man, as an
easy victim, and their friendship pro-
crosses famously. According to Silks"
usual tactics, he acknowledges that the
Christmas season always makes him
"blue," and hints that Gray may have
some secret sorrow. Gray admits that
he has. and recounts that at this season,
years ago, he lost all trace OF his wife

suades to play the part. Things 60 even
b ,tter than "Silk' has expected, ard
Gray establishes his daughter" in
fashionable hotel suite. The work of
Gray, however, is smoother than silks"
which gives very unusual ending to
this gripping story.
Among the chosen few film luminaries
who have won popularity with the mo-
ton picture theatregoers of the country,
| few have so large and devoted follow
ing as has charming Marguerite Clark,
! famous as "the sweetest girl in motion
pictures" Miss Clark's latest Paramount
photollay, erich Man, Poor Man," which
is to be displayed next Friday is perhaps
the strongest and most delightful picture
in which she ever has appeared. The
story has to do with young woman who
is foisted upon rich man as his grand
child. The imposture finally is exposed,
but the ultimate end is one of supreme
happiness for the young woman. In the
development of this theme, which proves
that rich man is, after all, poor
man, when he neither loves nor is loved,
there are many scenes of great dramatic
power, filled with thrills, and exerting
distinct heart appeal. Miss Clark is sup
ported in the chief role of the aged mil
lionaire, by Frederick Warde, the distin-

cinema field is no less emphatic than that
which rewarded his genius as an actor on
the speaking stage. We believe that you
cannot afford to miss seeing this great
photoplay. Another of the Montgomery
Fiagg satires of an Animated Weekly will
complete Fridays program
A bubblng rollicking comedy featuring
Enid Bennett Saturday is Naughty
Naughtyp' Paramount picture written
for Miss Bennett bye Gardner Sullivan.
The story is that of small town girl who
visits New York, comes back to her home
town with the firm intention of thorough
ly undermining and metamorphosing the
old-fashioned quaint ideas of the natives
especially her former sweetheart, editor
of the local newspaper. Miss Bennett is
supported by splendid cast, including
her younger sister, Marjorie Bennett, who
makes her photoplay debut in this pro-
duction; Earl Rodney, Gloria Hope and
Andrew Arbuckle. A two reel comedy,
featuring Toto, the famous Hippodrome
clown, will be included Saturday.
"Why, no man sacrifices his honor for
a woman, even when he loves her," said
Helmar. Nora measured him with long,
critical gaze. Then-''Mllions of woman
have done so for the men they love.
And there the matter stood. At last Nora
knew. Her home was not home. She
was not a woman. She was only a doll,
living in dolls house This is the Stu
alton that confronts beautiful Elsie Fer
guson in "a Dolls House" written by
Henrik Ibsen, to be shown Monday. Also
on Monday, a Klever comedy and Bur-
ton Holmes travel picture.
Mabel Normand will make her first ap-
~, in C,lduyyn pict,1roS in
''Dodging a Million" mystery drama
written by Edgar Selwyn, author of
"Nearly Married." in which Madge Ken
nedy stars on the screen, and A. M. Ken
nedy. Miss Normand is an international
favorite in filmdom and her return to
motion picture theatregoers after long
absence will be in the nature of gen.
uine sensation when "Dodging Million"
is shown Tuesday. "Dodging Million"
is described as novel mystery play of
love, thrills and laughter. 1t was written
especially to fit the charm and artistic
capabilities of Miss Normand, and is said
to present her as an actress of unsus-
pected emotional range. Her undoubted
good looks and natural vivacity should
combine to give the new film wide
popularity A Mutt and Jeff comedy
cartoon and the Current Events COM
pletes Tuesdays program.
On Wednesday, Louise Glaum is Of
fered in Paralta play, can Alien Enc
N.Y." Read what screen opinions say of
this: 1t is war story, based on the Ger
man spy system-but unlike most of the
current war films, it has truthful, sim
cere ring in it. 1t gets the interest right
at the jump-and holds it answering for
six full reels. There is much fine acting
] in it. There are many scenes that will
undoubtedly bring forth rounds of en-
thusiastic applause, and so cleverly are
they woven into the fabric of the story
that one feels that he is applauding, not
merely because the flag, or columns of
marching soldiers are shown on the screen
but because the picture gets down ul-
derneath and stirs up every ounce of
patriotism he possesses. Gan Alien Enc
my" is topnotch war drama; it is clean,
and it looks every inch winner.
