LASALLE

A powerful story of border life,
written by c. Gardner Sullivan and
presenting William 5. Hart, the ia
vorite western actor, in an entirely
new and different role, Selfish
Yates" comes to the IaSalle screen
today. The part he plays in this
latest vehicle is that of a man who
believes the only way to success lies
through completely ignoring senti-
ment, the business is business
idea, and who goes through life liv-
ing up TO the motto, you can do
as YOU please-that is your priv
ilege-so long as you don't get in
my way" Through ignoring the
claims of feeling he has gained
power and riches as the proprietor
of a saloon-dance hall in Arizona.
Then into his life come two lonely
girls-waifs of the desert, and It is
by gradual and subtle process THAI
the finer nature of Selfish Yates
begins to assert itself. The dra-
matte conclusion in which he dis
covers that after all he has a soul
and is capable of loving someone
besides himself, comes as an appro-
pirate ending to a pure and simple
screen story, finely conceived and
ably interpreted. Selfish Yates is
the sort Of picture Sunday au-
diences Of the LaSalle will enjoy.
The old warning, beware of
widows" would also be an appro-
pirate title for tomorrow's LaSalle
feature, which. however, is entitled,
Romance and Arabella." Adapted
from the stage success of three sea
sons ago and starring pretty Con-
stance Talmadge, IL viii furnish re-
freshing and delightful entertain
ment throughout its five reels. Ro-
nance is the breath OF life TO this
vivacious heroine. who when set
free from the elderly and uninter-
esting husband of her first marriage,
decides that her second choice shall
provide her with all the thrills and
romance that were lacking with the
other. Her manner of setting out
In search for husband number two
holds an unexpected fund of comic
possibilities and she is wooed by
four men before she awakes TO the
fact that the man she really loves
and intends 10 marry has been right
at her elbow all the time. 1t will
readily be understood that such a
part fits Miss Talmadge quite as

Elks' Annual Reunion

Over a hundred members of Penns
Grove Lodge of Elks, some with their
families, have been in Atlantic On diff
ferent days this week while the Ma
tional body of the Order is holding its
annual Convention. Yesterday was the
great day, when the grand parade
took place.
Frank L. Rain, of Fairbury, Neb.,
captured the office of Grand Exalted
Ruler over Albert Brophy, of Brook
lyn, by a vote of 1852 to 451, after one
of the liveliest campaigns in the his
tory of the organization.
On Thursday upwards of 10000 men
movd to their appointed positions in
the parade in a downpour that satur-
ated the thin texture of their "glad
rags" To increase the discomfort
that would have tried the souls of a
less heroic conclave, a gale whipped
decorations and tore at banners.
Penns Grove Lodge made a fine
showing. They had about rs men in
line with a band of 25 pieces. Each
man wore a large white and purple
rosette on his arm and white and pur-
pie streamers were attached to each
one. These were gathered and held
by "Uncle Sam" on horseback. c. r.
Russell, of the Penns Grove police
force, i~mpersonated Uncle Sam and
made a fine appearance on horseback.
VIM. CHAT acted as drum major.
