SPLENDID SETTINGS IN TOLD. WIVES FOR NEW"

Gorgeous sets, embracing scenes in a New York cafe, mountain views, and beautiful interiors of fash ionable home, are features of "Old Wives for New" the superb photo play. which is to be the attraction at the Coliseum Theatre Thursday and Friday. Cecil B. De Mile directed this picture with great skill and careful attention to detail. The nov el from which Jeannie Macpherson constructed the scenario was written by David Graham Phillips.
 The story is one which searches into the souls of men and women and shows the inner workings of mind and conscience in an usual tan gle of circumstances. A mans efforI 10 remain true to his wife who has lost all her pride in. personal appear ance; his later attempts to defend from the tongue of scandal a really noble woman who loves him; the at titude of his children toward father and mother when divorce is sought these vital problems offer splendid lot of material to which MT. De Mile has done full justice.

dren in motion pictures, it must be admitted that their work is vastly more appealing to the average aud fence than that of "grOwn-ups,' ,'- granted of course that it is well done. We all were children once, and the memories of our childhood days are our greatest treasures. Hence, it is only natural that those treasures, whe6 faithfully reflected upon the screen, evoke sympathetic response from us, swelling from our heart We are prone to turn to our neigh bor and remark:
 Don't this remind you of when you were a kid.'
 Such a reminder is the aim Of Pants" the five-part Essanay pie ture to be seen at the Palace Fri day and Saturday. The story is Q simple one, written with strict re gard for realism. It might fit into everyday life without a single alter ation. There has been no attempt at preachment, sex or birth-control problems. It is wholesome and pure ly entertaining in value.
 A little girl, living in a rich home, grows rebellious because her guar dian refuses to let her play with children in the streets. She runs away and, after many ludicrous ad- ventures, returns with flock of tenement children to invade the man. sion.
 Little Mary McAllister appears in the featured role in Pants" Aside from her histronic ability, this child bears a distinction of which no other photoplay star can boast. She holds the appointment by the War De- partment as a non-commissioned off cer in the Regular Army. This hon or was bestowed upon her in recog- nition of her patriotic work in re cruiting more than 5000 men for Uncle Sam's fighting forces, and in gathering thousands of dollars for the Red Cross fund. She is the Youngest officer in the Army.
 Essanay has provided Little Mary with an admirable company, includ- ing such well-known and well-liked screen personalities as John Cossar, Frankie Raymond and Arthur Koeppe. More than thirty trained children complete the cast.

Thomas H. Ince rented the Barnes circus entire for his production of "The Biggest Show On Earth with Enid Bennett as star, for Paramount which appears at the Coliseum to night. A lot was engaged and the circus in every way, all for film pur- poses. When it goes to the public in screen form, this story by Flor ence Vincent will be found to con tain an unprecedented amount of thrill and it gives Miss Bennett q better chance if possible than in her previous Paramount pictures to dis play her talents as an actress.
 A real old-fashioned one-ring cir GUS, one of the kind that were popu- lar in the days of our grandfather, when the clown and ring master were supreme, is the big feature of the biggest show on earth, the new photo. play in which Enid Bennett, the beau tifui Thomas H. Ince-Paramount star. is the leading figure.
 Miss Bennett has the role of Roxie Kemp, a showslrl whose great act

SPORTS 

President Abraham Lincoln was too good a man not to have anything to do with sport, so an American student of history has come to the front with contribution showing that Lincoln was some pupmkins as a wrestler, a sport which caught the fancy of the late Theodore Roosevelt when he was in the White House The article on Lincoln's wrestling ability was recently published in New York and runs as follows:
 At the time the Lincolns settled the champion wrestler of Cumber land County, This county joins Coles, the one in which the Lincolns lived. Needham had often been told that he would find his match in Tom Lincoln's boy, Abe, but he would boast that he could filing him three best out of four any day he lived. ' At last they met.

After the work of the day, in which Abe and Dan matched handspikes many times, "rassle" was suggest ed. At first Abe was unwilling to measure with Dan, who was six feet four and as agile as a panther; but when Thomas Lincoln said, Abe ras- sel 'im," Abe flung off his coat and the two stood face to face. Four times they wrestled, and each time Needham was thrown.
 At the close of the fourth round, the combatants again stood face to face. Abe flushed but smiling, Dan trembling with anger. However, one glance at the honest, gOod-natured face of his opponent cooled his rage, and, extending his .rought palm, he said: Well, I'll be -" Ever after this they were warm friends Needham survived Lincoln many years. and though he was a strong Democrat, he had nothing but good words for Abe.

SAN FRANCISCO-Acting on the conviction that baseball is in need of more life and ginger, President Charles Strub of the San Francisco Club of the Pacific Coast League will attempt to inject it through the medium of lively coaching featured with humor As has chief "enteT- tainer" Strub now is trying to secure the services of Herman Germany Schaefer. who has reputation of na- tive wit exhibited on the coaching lines. In the event that the services of Schaefer are secured he would not count among the player limit as he would be carried as a coach.
 Word received here is to the eff feet that the Portland Club is ang ling for a right-handed pitcher by the name of Pennington who is the property of the St. Louis Club. Pen nington pitched in the International League for Newark in 1917 and was surpassed in effectiveness only by kVean Gregg, former Coast Leaguei and Bunny Hearne. Manager Me Chedie is credited with doing lot of quiet scouting about in an effort to land good men for his 1918 base ball machine.
