AN star, No story.

Dorothy Gish bemoanS the fact that
she never has any narrow escapes like
So many other screen favorites, and is
constantly calling attention to the ad-
ventures Of other people, She feels
that her life Is lived in vain. All that
has ever happened Of much import
ancel 10 her Is her trip across the wa
ter to visit the war.
While on the voyage across, the
steamship which by the way, was the
same one on which General Pershing
went to France, was missed by four
tofpedoes. On the way back the YES
sci was shot at three times by subma.
rIness During her stay in England she
was In five air raids. At Ham,
France, the locality in which the COM
many worked, she was constantly un.
der Hun fire. But still Miss Gish does
not feel that she has had any excite.
nent. The story in which the little
eharnaer is cast Is about as weak as
could have been selected for her A
more perfect type Of the sweet little

Mrs. char!ey CHAPLIN in cOmedy.

Judging from the title OF the story
at the Dixie today, Borrowed Clothes
there ought to be plenty OF fun in the
story in which Mrs. Charlie Chaplin,
formerly Mildred Harris, IS the star.
In addition 10 this comedy is Roofs
and Riots" another hair raising laugh
producer that is almost as good as a
Chaplin comedy.

n 4 ANAGER MORGAN has been put
IW to some Inconvenience by the
~ reports that the Grand is en-
tirely sold out for the presentation of
.FarlOT, Bedroom and Bath" tonight.
Though the seat sale is one Of the
best Of the season, there arc still q
feW good seats on the first floor, some
boz seats, and some seats in the bal
cory. Married life is the subject, and
the sstiFieal treatment Verges almost
UPON buFiesque as It paints the roman
re side OF feminine nature. Imagine
man who Is terror stricken at the
mere sound Of woman's voice, married
70 q lady who loves him because she
lInagipes he has been lion among
women. A friend warns him that his
future happiness depends upon his
keeping his wife under the wrong i'm
preston, and to make good the ideas
she has about his past, he makes
date TO meet another mans wife at
lonely wayside inn. This is only the
beginning of a series OF escapades,
faFcial situations and side.splitting de-
Veiopments that keep one roaring. All
around the circuit OF Northern West
Virginia, the play has been well spok.

! year without break, proclaim it

is cloudy, full Of sediment or you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; If you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have
rheumatism, when the weather is bad,
get from your pharmacist about four
ounces Of Jad Salts; take a table,
spoonful in a glass Of water before

doctrine of the rights Of peoples, az

and adjudge the claim Of the Egyptian
people TO national independence. apart
from autonomy.

Ap1S March 20.-Reports from

and conflicting character that it is
s.,d1v possible to form the slightest

was due to the fact that it was univer-

had materially postponed at least the

Germany and corresponding reduc-
