MURRAY,

C. Gardner Sullivan, famous writer
Of moving picture stories, author OF
"Civilization." and other notable
screen successes, has furnished the
silver sheet, a new novelty that prom
ises to establish itself as the classic
ghost story Of the screen, just as in
literature have come down such stand
ards as Bulwer Lytton's THE House
on the Brain" Daniel De Foes The
Apparition Of Mrs. Veal" Sir Walter
SCOTS Wandering Willie's Tale"
Charles Dickens The Haunted Man."
and Captain Marryatt's THE Flying
Dutchman," to say nothing of Shake
speare's Hamlet" and King Lear"
The remarkable feature of this
story is that while it is a ghost story,
it develops that the ghost was real
human and illustrates how easily peo-
pie may be deceived into thinking
they see and hear supernatural things.
There is nothing about the psychol-
ogy of the story which Is not suscept-
ible to natural explanation, but never
the less there are thrills a-plenty. The
mystery of the ghost Is excellently
handled and the effect at times Is
startling.
The picture will be presented at
the Murray theater for three days,
commencing next Monday. In this
Paramount production Enid Bennett
is featured. surrounded by an especial.
ly selected cast Of players. 1t was
directed by Fred Niblo under the per
sonal supervision of Thomas H. 1nce.
While John Barrymore's latest pic
ture, Here Come the Bride" was be-
ing filmed, John Stuart Robertson, the
director, wished to do a scene showing
Mr. Barrymore in a hungry state
where he could see a vision Of food
floating over his head.
1t was only eleven o'clock in the
morning and the director said to Mr.

Barrymore, What particular dish OF
food would most appeal to you?" Mr..
Barrymore answered offhand, Bacon
and eggs"
Later a waiter appeared from the
hotel across the street bearing a tray
upon which rested plate of delicious
bacon and eggs. Hal Young, the pho
tographer, was planning to photo
graph it a little later, but Mr.. Barry
more beat him to it and the vision
was consumed before it could be v1su-
allied on the screen.
Mr.. Barrymore explained that he
thought Mr.. Robertson was buying
him his breakfast. Here Comes the
Bride" will be shown at the Murray
theater next Thursday Friday and
Saturday Faire Binney, charming
actress, is the leading woman
According to reports, the Murray
theatre has another important photo
play today in the presentation OF a
new William Fox star, Albert Ray. and
a new leading lady, Elinor Fair. They
will be seen in a comedy drama called
Married in Haste" a five-reeler that
is said to be bullying with humor, but
with a few serious incidents thrown
in. 1t is a story Of the tanning OF a
young spendthrift. Through a scheme
Of his bride he is made apparently
penniless in the midst Of host Of I'M
paid bills. His wife wants to force
him to be a business man and soon
afterward he changes from a full dress
suit to the clothes of workman, be-
gins to climb and finally turns out TO
be a shrewd business man.
Arthur Rosson, who has made soma
very fine motion pictures, was brought
under the Fox banner especially to d.
rect this photoplay.
MURRETTE
The man who poisons water hole
in the arid country and brings death
and suffering to men and beasts, Is
perhaps the most dastardly scoundrel
that could be imagined. There is such
a man in Square Deal Sanderson,
William S. Harris new Aircraft picture
which comes to the Murrette theatre
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. He is
punished finally by the hero, who wins
the love Of Mary, the girl who owns a
ranch in New Mexico and who is
bounded by the same despicable
wretch.
Charles Alden Settler wrote the
story and Lambert Hillyer put it into
screen form. 1t is one Of those stories
that holds the spectator tensely till
the last foot of film IS unwound.
The artistic work Of William S.
Hart in his delineations of western
types often has been commented upon
by critics as perfect in every respect
Not only is Mr.. Hart an actor. but he
knows the life of the West and puts it
on the screen with a vtvidness that
