"Pudd'nhead Wilson" at the Hip

Mark Twain's "Pudd'nhead Wilson" with Theodore Roberts in the stellar role will receive it's final screenings at the Hip today.
 "Pudd'nhead Wilson" is a story based on the present well known method of crime detection by the use of finger prints. Roberts appears as a lawyer whose proclivities for col lecting the impressions of as many peoples thumbs as possible, caused the population in the little Missouri town which forms the locale of the story, to look askance at him and they have nicknamed him "Pudd'nhead Will son. Undaunted the lawyer continues work, and spends years in the perfec- ton of his collection. Then comes the time when Tom Driscoll, scien of the oldest family in the town, returns from college, accompanied by Cham oers, his mulatto servant. DriscolTs s | uncle is killed and circumstances point to Chambers as the slayer. But Pudd nhead is not satisfied with the evidence and decides to defend Cham bers. At the trial, he produces thumb i prints that he has taken of both Dris- coll and Chambers when they were in fants and succeeds in proving not only | that Chambers is innocent, but that | the man posing as Driscoll is in reality l Chambers, mulatto, having been substituted for the Driscoll baby when six months of age by Roxy, the mother of the mulatto baby.
 The Buried Treasure" is the Q Henry story on the same bill and the comedy is the Briggs creation "A Rainy Day"

Lila Lee at the Lamara


 Lila Lee, the clever Paramount star, who has been called the prettiest girl on the screen by many reviewers, will appear in "The Heart of Youth" for the final times at the Bamara today.
 The Heart of Youth" tells of the romance between the daughter of moun9aineer and the son of a neigh boring land owner, the two families having been at war for years. The feud is particularly aggressive at the time of the opening of the story and the two young people are forced to carry on their courtship through the greatest secrecy. It is this element that proves the basis for a well laid plot instigated by a jealous girl to wreck the happiness of these two sweethearts, for they have selected an old hollow tree as the letter box and it is in the letter box that the schemer leaves the evidence which she hopes will break up the affair. It was only a chance circumstance which pre- vented the successful termination of her plot but this circumstance not only proved the element which brought understanding to the lovers, but which brought the heads of the families to the realization that the feud was a useless thing and paved the way for an amicable adjustment of their differences.
 Peter Morrison in At the Point of Gun" is the added attraction, also up for final showings today.
 Tomorrow starts the engagement of Tom Mix in his latest picture, "The Wilderness Trail"

"Out of the Foa" at Columbia

"Out of the Fog" based on Nazi mova's famous stage success, 'Cep- tion Shoals" win have it's last showing at the continuous performance at the Columbia today.
 Although there has been slight re- modelling of the original play to adapt it to the screen, the play Out of the Fog" retains all of the excellent quail ities of the play, "'Ception Shoals, ," which set everyone talking when Nazi- nova played it on the legitimate stage.
 The play portrays the psychological development of a young girl, Eve, who is reared in complete ignorance of the fundamental truths of life. Carefully guarded in a lonely lighthouse on the New England coast, her Uncle Job has vowed that the fate that met her mother. his sister, shall not come to her through unsuspecting trust in the goodness of mankind.
 In spite of all this, a lover comes into her life, and the efforts of her fana- tical uncle to separate her from the man she loves by lying to him and telling him Eve is dead, fail in the end. There are, of course, delicate passages in the story which require careful handling, but all of these are done in a fashion so restrained and SC refined that no offense can be taken.
 Norma Talmadge will be the feature of the bill which opens tomorrow, com ing in a play of mixed comedy and thrills, "Peck's Bad Girl"
 Reeds Ragtime Rascals" will ap- pear nightly at the American, dispen- sing their raz-ma- -taz-j jazz and dreamy waltzes in their own inimitable man. ner, the grand opening occurring to. night.
