BILL FOR WEEK HOLDS SOME
 EXCEPTIONAL ACTS
The Lee Kids Will Star the First Half of Week in Swat the Spy," Great
 Ph0tOplay

A real novelty will be the headliner at the Bijou the first part of the opening week offered by the Great Howard, Americas foremost ventriIoquist He is a well-known song writer and member of the music publishing firm of Howard & LaVar of New York city. He car ries big special set representing a base hospital in France, and with the aid of his various dummies shows the funny side of day in the hospital. He fea- lures his song, Somewhere in France Is Daddy" the whole skit having been written around it.
 "kaptain Kidder and Company" an operetta in one act, with a big star cast, will be the featured attraction at the Bijou the last half of the coming week. The theme of the story is based on the doings of Kaptain Kidd, and this in- splration set to songs and music is one of the cleverest musical comedy operet- tas on the vaudeville stage today. There are four men and a pretty young miss in the cast, and their makeup, especially that of the old captain, get many laughs. There will also be the usual other four acts of vaudeville the first and second half of the week bills.
 The photoplay for the first half of the week will be Jane and Katherine Lee. the Baby Brands" of the motion pie lures, presented in an uproarious, side splitting farce called Swat the Spy!'' The Lees surpassing ability as fun-makers has been so thoroughly established that it has only become necessary to announce their appearance at a motion picture house to bring the crowds.
 The newest feature by the Lee children is described as a merry melange of mis- chievous pranks and mirth- provoking situations, placed in a setting of ex- quisite pathos and practical patriotism. The comical kids not only prick. the in- Hated bubble of a monstrous alien plot, but they perform the operation in such an exquisitely humorous fashion that 1t becomes constant source of delight and a joy forever. Clumsy Karl and lumber ing Lena are as much match for the keen witted kids as a hungry fly would be for sheet of tanglefootl
 The photoplay for the last half will be May Allison in "The Return of Mary," which Is a delightful drama with many intensely interesting moments

SPLENDID MUSIC IS PROVIDED FOR
 GRIFFITH PICTURE
Hearts of the World" Here This Week, Has Ambi- tious Orchestra Ac-
 compartment

Just how much of the effectiveness of motion pictures is due to the impression received by the ear as well as the eye is an interesting study. In the greater motion picture houses music plays as irn- portant a part of the programme as the picture itself. It matters not whether the accompaniment be giant pipe organ or pianoforte, the music enhances the enjoyment of the picture, and the more ability the musician shows in the matter of rejecting emotions through his instru- ment the more enjoyable IS the perlorHl- ance as a whole.
 D. w. Griffith's Hearts of the World has an unusually ambitious orchestral accompaniment, a score that has been made up from patriotic music, symphony and grand opera selections. Two major themes, "Connaie tu le pays! rom ..Mignon," and a popular musical comedy number. called It's Delightful to Be Married sung by Anna Held several years ago. are used most effectively in Hearts of the World just as MT. Grff- fifth used "The Year of the Jubilee In .'The Birth of Nation,' and My Wild Irish Rose in Intolerance"
 Some idea of the scope of his accom- paniments for "Hearts of the World may be gained by Drle1 mention oI tne various and sundry fragments which MT. Griffith and his general orchestra ar ranger, Carli D. Elinor, have provided for the better interpretation and enjoy ment of the picture.
 From grand opera they have culled selections from "Lohengrin, La Tos- ca,n and tLa Fanciulla''' To Puccini they turn for brief but effective passages. The Chopin nocturhes arc used a little. The ..I,ight Cavalry" the "Marseillaise," the "Star-Spangled Banner America" and other patriotic music plays major part in the interpretation of the tremendous battle scenes.
 The large orchestra carried by the com pany gets brilliant color for all the scenes Throughout the performance of nearly three hours. the musicians maintaining a fine balance and keen sense of the accuracy needed to follow the rapidly moving story.

GERALDINE FAIRFAX
 APPEARS HERE IN
 GOLDWyN PICTURE
Will Be at Trianon for En- tire Week in '"The Turn
 of a Wheel"

Geraldine Farrar makes her first ap- |pearance in Goldwyn pictures, the play chosen for her being ''The Turn of the Wheel" by Tex Charwate, When the international celebrity appears at the Trianon theatre beginning Monday for one weeks engagement, it is said that she will have role of her own choos- ing, which means that "The Turn of
 the Wheel" Is play of today, the star
 having announced that she means to appear only in modern roles.
 The story of "The Turn of the WheeP' !, is a highly dramatic one. beginning at Monte Carlo where Rosalie Dean. an American girl is sojourning with her launt. At the Casino she sees a stranger, also an American, playing recklessly, and he loses. Feleing powerful at traction, Rosalie follows him and stops Maxfield Grey when he is on the verge of suicide, Like all gamblers, he IS
 sure that he could win back every thig If he had one more chance, Ros- allie insists that he take that chance with money she gives him and Grey
 does win back-everything. At the mo-
 ment of his triumph Grey is arrested
 charged with the murder of his divorced
 wife in New York. She returns to Amer l ica with him.
 Remanded to the Tombs, Grey re-
 fuses stubbornly to say anything te
 clear himself. His attorney is helpless Grey says that he visited his wife tho
 night she was shot, but beyond thal
 will tell nothing. Rosalie's belief II his innocence never wavers. Her astuts
 work in uncovering the real murderer
 brings thrilling and interesting con lclusion.

Hearts of the World required IS months in the making and many of the scenes were taken on the actual battle fields of France by Mir. Griffith, with the official aid and assistance of the British and the French governments. MT. Griffith. however, is anxious to remove any apprehension that Hearts of the World is primarily a war picture. It is. he announced, primarily love story. in which war figures as the grim back ground It may be called the story or a village" and for more than 40 minutes during the exposition of the story there is not a cannon shot. not suggestion of war's alarms. There is the pretty TO- nance of two girls, each in love with the same man; there is the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of small French town before the holocaust of war. Then comes the conflict, with it's ensuing ef- fects upon the fortunes of those in the little village.
 The battle scenes shown are actual bat tie scenes, taken right in the trenches during the death struggles of the French and the Germans: only occasionally has it been found necessary to piece the story of the battles together by means of acted scenes. Thus one sees the life in the trenches; the charges of the l French soldiers; the thrilling hand-to- hand conflicts and the thrust of the bay onets; the murder of the shells; the grea' guns in action; the tanks the attack bs 1 liquid fire; the charges and the retreat the German pillboxes; the flight of thu f, villagers the ruthless destruction O property; the treatment of young girl' who fall into the hands of the Germans and other things too numerous to men ton, the whole eliminating in the arriva
 of the American troops, of ultimate vic
 tory and a hint of future happiness fc

Advantages of Early Drafting

InOIDdS r. Logan III 1eS1e B.
 Probably the sanest criticism on draft ing boys of IS comes from those who deplore their being wrenched from the advantages of edueation. The most re- cent census report, which unfortunately reaches only to 1910, gives the percentage of the number of males attending the definite educational institutions. During the age of 2J the percentage drop was still lower, to 93. The report of the Commissioner Of education for the year ending June 30, 1917. gives the percent age for the age group IS to 70, inclusive, for both sexes and all classes of the population, as only l7.l2, In 1915 there was S1.03 per cent Of all the boys anC girls in the country who attended eie- mentary schools, and only 7,13 per cent who attended secondary schools. In the higher institutions of learning there was oniy 1.S4 per cent of the total. So the percentage of those who lose the pos sjbility of a primary or Of even a sec ondary education iS much smaller than the average person would Ceem true. On the other hand, there has been no period in the history of the world when the soldier is so taken care or and SC trained as he is in the American army today. From anti-typhoid serum to den- fist, he is protected. He has the ad- vantage of the Y. NJ. c. A, of Red .ross comforts, of movies, and is drilled in singing. His technical training is as eN- haustiye as his physical training. Hi' Eo1y is set up and so Is his mind.

This is no reason for anyone to pity the soldier of H.

MILDRED HARRIS AT THE ALCAzAR IN FOR HUSBANDS ONLY PrOtege of Lois Webber Stars in All of Her Plays. This One Fitting
 Her Well

Mildred Harris who will be remem- bered as the star in the last two big features presented by Lois Webber,
 "rhe Doctor and the Woman, and The Price of Good Time" comes to the Alcazar Monday in Lois Webber's new est screen success, 'For Husbands Only" one of the most entertaining stories that has ever come from the
 pen of this talented writer and pro ducer.
 Mildred Harris is Lois Webber's protege, and has been selected to play the stellar role in every feature that Lois Webber has offered during the past
 year, and this picture was written es- pecially for her, and is said to sur pass anything that Miss Webber has
 ever produced.
 In the role of Toni Wylde, Mildred Harris is given wide scope to display her wonderful talents, for in this .al she runs the entire gamut of huinar emotions and portrays the heartacp", of the child. the young woman and t. wife in such manner as to stamp n as a truly. great artist.
 Convent bred, Toni Wylde, unaccus- toned to even the society or men. learns at the hands of Van Darcy the first thrills of love, only to know that to him there is no sacredness about it, that he is what he terms mot marry ling man. to him love is only a passion to be satisfied and in her blind rage at being deceived and played With she hurriedly marries man at whom she was accustomed to poke fun. This was l her childish way of bringing her faith | less lover to his senses. and from then | on the picture unfolds an answer to the question that arises in every woman's mind, what would I do?
 i One of the big features of the picture
 will be the appearance in many scenes
 of the famous Denis-Shawn dancers the l advanced pupils of Ruth St. Denis and I Ted Shawn, and the settings in which they dance are said to be the most ex-
 ouisite ever produced in moving pie Ii ture studio.
 In addition to this picture, Manager Wise will offer one of the celebrated Lyons Moran comedies, which will be shown between each performances which. in addition to special pro gramme by the big feature orcnestra.
 makes the entire entertainment one of the best balanced and entertaining pro- grammes imaginable.

 aircraft wings. The supply of linen had been ample to that time, because the airplane industry was in its in- fancy as far as quantity production was concerned. Belgium, Russia and Ire- | land furnished all that was needed. Then, as the supply from Belgium and Russia dwindled, the need for it in- creased tremendously. There was hard fly enough for other requirements be- lsides aircraft. and 1t soon was apparent
 that substitute must be found to
 cover the wings of flying machines.
 America furnished the substitute. Cot ton mill experts applied themselves
 zealously to the task under admonition
 from the government that the exigency
 was very great. By September, 1917,
 a fabric having all the necessary quali-
 ties of linen was evolved. Contracts
 are now outstanding for more than II,

Gone Whoam'

From Tit Bits.
 A New Zealand cousin over here with the forces vouches for the truth of the following story:
 Dick Seddon was of Lancashire ori- gin, and when he died the Lancastran Society in New Zealand sent a wreath with the following inscription: q have sone whoam." The journalist who re- ported the funeral evidently did not come from Lancashire. and consequently was puzzled by the wording. and. after think ing hard. concluded that someone had blundered. His report read: .The Lancastrian society sent beau tiful wreath bearing the inscription. T have gone. Who am I?"

Cotton Fabric for Airplanes

Thomas F. Logan, in Leslie's.
 One of the ways in which American industrial genius has registered inn portantly in the war against Germany was in developing a cotton fabric suit able for covering airplane wings. It's importance is appreciated when we learn that the enemy Is now using wood for airplane wings. It means a further disadvantage for enemy air men. Our own fighting men require 100000 yards of the airplane fabric monthly, and the demand is increas- ling rapidly. When the war began linen was the only material used for coverinl
