Someone in describing DIR. Lincoln
Wednesday. says his face is some like
Abe Lincoln's and is about as CORFU
gated as the map of his native Tennes-
see, with mouth down in the Tennes-
zee valley that seems made of rubber
and filled with a lot of white teeth.
He begins to shoot big things out of
that mouth. Then he smiles sera phi
cally, brings home a few new laid
jokes, gets the crowd to roaring and
again looses the heavy artillery 1t is
a series of terrific jabs and broad
sides, satirical stories, representations
and stage gymnastics. He enjoys it as
much as anybody. He smacks his
lips, the sentences taste so good. His
face clouds, twists, cartoons, then
brightens. He hammers away with the
devil at his last ditch-then he stops
and saves everybody with a smile. Re-
member, he is tremendously serious;
II is a sermon all the time with the
fun just to save things.
Lincoln MCCONNELL. L. D. will close
this years Boise lecture course on
Wednesday evening of this week in one
90 his famous addresses at the Pinnev
theatre. This is the big number on
the course for this year, and all patrons
are anticipating great treat. The
general public will miss a rare treat if
they fail to hear this famous southern
orator from Georgia

PRISON SCENES IN
NEW HART DRAMA
MOST ELABORATE
Gloomy Corridors of Peniten-
tiary Admirably Pictured in
''The Poppy Girls Husband"
at the Majestic Today.

One of the most elaborate sets ever
constructed at the William S. Hart
studio was built for "The Poppy Girls
Husband" which will be shown at the
Majestic theater starting today. 1t
shows three tiers Of cells in states
prison. The gloomy corridors of the
prison are admirably represented with
stone tagged passages, the iron"
gratings and platforms rising above to
the roof of the studio structure.
Each cell contains a white iron bed,
and when a hundred or more extras
dressed as convicts did the lock-step
down the corridor, the effect was
realistic and painfully reminiscent to
those who have visited some of the
penal institutions in the country.
This picture is said TO differ ma
terially from anything in which Mr..
Hart has hitherto made his appear
ance. Juanita Hansen in the role of
the Poppy Girl" is declared to have
a part that suits her well and to
which she has done full Justice Among
others in the cast appear Capt Long,
late of the U. S. artillery, and one of
the best known heavy" actors In the
business.
San Francisco, the Barbary Coast
and the prison are all features of tho
picture which was written by Jack
Boyle for The Red Book and scenario
lied by G. Gardner Sullivan. Many OF
the scenes We're taken in San Fran
cisco and its environs. Those present :
ing the Barbary Coast, the underworld
resort of the city are highly realistic.

picture to be cherished in the mem
Dry locket of everyone who is thrilled
and moved by it's blended humor and
pathos. Any favorite book chara cter
Is more vivid and understandable when
visualized upon the stage and endowed
with the warmth of fascinating per-
sonality and the beauty of the human
voice.
PLAY RIVALS THE BOOK.
The public is keenly alive to that
which Is new and vital in the theatre
and is eager for plays that convey the
sweet and beautiful spirit that has
made the "Pollyanna" fiction so trem-
endously popular. The comedy, judg-
ing from the many columns of praise
lavished upon 1t by reviewers through
out the country, is an even greater de-
light than the glad stories which in
pired it. It spreads good cheer and
joyous spirit broadcast. and is so full
of novel and fascinating surprises that
the telling of it's story would be unfair
to those patrons Of the theatre who
may be unfamiliar with Mrs. Porter's
books. 1t is an uncommonly good
company that will present "Pollyanna''
here.
Miss Viola Harper, the youngest
leading lady on the American stage,
plays the leading part. that of Polly
anna Whittier, and George Alison, Her
bert Fortier, Blanche Douglas, Wini-
fred Hanley, Master Billy Blaisdell,
Frederick Carlton, Jack Morton and
others, are prominent in her support.

She registers equally well scenes Of the.

Mickey is one of the very few
photoplays that lives up to the ad-

Mickey makes you laugh, Mickey

: THE BETTER OLE HAS
ADDED HUMOR To WAR
Laughs and Still More Laughs
Crowded Into Photo Comedy,
Based on British Cartoonist S
Drawings of "Tommies."

The Better Ole" a photoplay
founded on the book of the same title,
will be the Majestic attraction for
Thursday, Friday and Saturday and is
the big comedy success of the season
1t shows the British army in trenches,
dugouts and behind the lines. 1t ad-
mirably portrays the humor of the
great war and Is not overdrawn in any
particular. No attempt has been made
to weave any great story. A plot, of
course, has been used-just enough to
make the audience wonder what is
going to happen next.
There are laughs and still more
laughs in this production. Bert's cigar
lighter, which never works, Alf's love
affairs with numerous French maidens
that are always interrupted by blum
dering, good -natured Ole Bill, are sure
of hearty laughs. The picture is true
to the brighter side of the life of the
men who fought and won for civiliza-
ton. The Better ole" is a picture
that everyone will thoroughly enjoy
history of pictures.
The screen production was made by
the company which originally pre-
the pay III l<UIluOl. SndS.
Rock, who scored an instantaneous hit
as Ole Bill, portrays most lovable
character in the same role for the
screen. Arthur Cleave and Hugh f.
Wright, who played Ole Bits pals in
the original production. are also seen
In these roles.
1.-The Better ole" is not a war pic
ture, 1t Is a comedy.
A word as to the origin of the play
and picture Captain Bruce Bans-
father of the British army. while on
watch In front line trench one night,
drew a cartoon and sent it to friends
in London. 1t was published, and from
then on until the play was presented
the entire world waited with impat-
fence the next Bainsfather drawing.
Seven legitimate plays of the same
name are now being played in the
United States and the Better ole"
book is selling into millions of copies.
