BUILD WITH EYE TO BEAUTY
Duty of All Who Plan Home to Con.
slider Well How Structure Will
Appear to 6ehoIder.

The beauty that may be had out of
the common things of the earth is
well illustrated by the homes that one
sometimes sees, Il beauty that is all
the more emphasized by the contrast
in the hideous result of the use of the
same common things by others.
You will see in the country places,
as you go about. how one man will
take the things that are to his hand
and build from them a beautiful house.
He took the rock and stone, the wood,
the sand and the earth that were un-
der his feet. Out of these he framed
a rooftree that is a kindness to the
eye.
Another man with the same mates
rails threw them together crudely,
making a thing that had to go by the
name of a house, but which offends
the eye that bchOlds it. The one
house cost no more in either labor OF
money than the other, yet the results
are as different as day and night.
The most striking, as we'll as the
most historic instance of what can be
done with the common things of the
earth, is furnished by the old Fran
ciscan missions OF California. They
are architectural gems. Yet all that
the padres had for material was what
they found at hand and under their
feet. They had only Indian labor to
call on.
While we are at it we might as well
put a touch of beauty to what we do,
whether it be that we are building a
house or a CHICKEN Good.

excellent program for three days,

sent, under the title of "a Night
in Billets," an offering consisting
of music, songs and story. a little
information regarding this remark
able quartet of gallant your gsters
will not be amiss and mayhap help
TO amuse. Their story, bOile1
down, is as follows: With the over
seas forces that Canada sent over
there" in 1915 we're Sergeant Blake,
Sergeant Major Parker, Sergeant
Cook and Corporal Hcaly. The
heroism Of these forces is now a
matter of history, and the mar
velous stand they made which
stopped the German rush to Calais
is one of the most brilliant mill
tary achievements ever recorded.
Among the many heroes who fell
in the course of this action were
a quartet above mentioned At
that time they did not know each
other, but were merely COgs in the
mammOUth fighting machine. Small
wonder that the performance Of
"The Shrapnel Dodgers" IS greet
ed with cheers and tears as well
as applause.
Miss Laurel Lee, a singing CO.
Medicine, will prove one of the
most popular numbers on this
program. She has a personality
that makes itself felt beyond the
footlights and is one of the most
individual and exceptional come
diennes the Columbia will have
for long time to come.

a daring and sensational novelty,
will be seen with this excellent
bill. This is one of the really new
acts of the present season, featur-
ing four fearless maidens in a
series Of dangerous feats, perform
ed in midair. Dangerous gyra-
tions, agile twists and seemingly
impossible revolutions of the body
are performed at high speed, and
the very air is alive with human
forms while these wonderful girl
athletes are occupying the stage.
Other acts on the bill are Percy
Bronson and Minnie Baldwin, a
1919 songolOgy; and Rosie Rigle
and company, continental act de-
luxe complete the show.

At the Black Hawk.


Douglas Fairbanks seems des-
tined to score another immense
success in his new Aircraft pho
toplay, HE Comes Up Smiling"
which will be the attraction at the
Black Hawk theatre Sunday. lie
created the original role of Jerry
Martin, tramp, in the stage YER
sion produced in New York in
1914. The screen story was di-
rected by Allan Dwan and written
by Francis Marion.
He Comes Up Smiling" is the
tale of tramp, or rather a young
chap who tires of existence as a
bank clerk and elects to follow the
life of a knight of the road. His
adventures on the big highways,
his contests with other tramps, his
defeat of a stock market scheme
and his final winning of the girl of
his choice, are the elements of a
story so mirth-prOvoking that it is
said to exhaust even those who
love to laugh and grow fat.
One of Mr.. Fairbanks stunts is
to leap across a 10-foot creek, but
this is the least exciting of his
feats. Many of the scenes were
photographed in beautiful Bea-
valley, Cal, while others were
made at Mr. Fairbanks country
home, with its swimming pool and
classic edifices. A 10-room house
shown in cross section is another
notable effect. 1t is said that the
athletic star never has had a role
which afforded him better oppor-

At the Majestic.

One of the peculiar beliefs of
certain South Sea island tribes is
that the possession of a pure black
pearl will insure permanent health.
prosperity and happiness. This is
the pivot around which is con-
structed the theme of the William
Fox production, "a Woman There
Was" in which Theda Bara is the
star. 1t is said to be a remark
able photoplay. 1t opens tonight
at the Majestic theatre.
Miss Bara assumes the role of a
semi-savage princess of the South
Sea islands. She falls in love with
visiting missionary from Amer
lea, but her wooing is fraught with
native complications and she finally
gives up her life for the white
stranger. Thrilling scenes follow
one another in rapid succession in
the action Of the piece, including

At Rrntman's RiaItn.

Lets walk a bit l left my

Tom Moore in his new GoIdwyn
picture, Go West, Young Man"
The incident is only one of the
amusing moments in the comedy
drama which comes to Brotman's
Rialto theatre today. 1t grows out
of the unusual situation in which
young Dick Latham finds himself.
The pampered son OF rich par
ents, he leaves home as the result
of a quarrel, and through a series
of amazing adventures finds him
self. after an incredibly short
time. the rough and ready sheriff
of wild western town. Riding is
difficult, handling a gun is harder
still and reforming the town seems
hard at the outset, but isn't.

At the Fifth Avenue.

A drama of compelling force and
appeal is shown today at the Fifth
avenue theatre in the Metro pre-
sentation, THE Divorcee." in
which Ethel Barrymore is starred.
This play, taken from the sue
cessful stage drama. Lady Fred
erick," by W. Somerset Vaughan,
deaIs with the vital question Of
the heartlessness of social life,
where wealth and position dom
mate every other consideration,
causing unhappiness and jealousy,
envy and intrigue.
In the role of Lady Frederick,
the beautiful young woman who
sacrificed her own happiness and
later her reputation for the sake
of her family, Miss Barrymore is
supreme.
Supporting the famous star are
such players as H. E. Herbert, 10
seph Kilgour, E. J. Radcliffe, Ma
omi Childers, John Galsworthy,
Turner Gordon. Harold Entwistle,
Eugene Strong and Ricca Allen.
The production was made by Her

pervision of Maxwell Karger, di-

It is when Dick is riding with
Rosa (played by Ora Carew), a
true daughter of the mountains
and plains, that he voices the con-
fession that riding is not his forte.
Just what he means by shock alb
sorbers is not hard to imagine. He
is sore all over. But when the time
comes Dick by no means is a ten
derfoot He is able to cope with
the most desperate situations, as
every We1l-ordered screen hero
should.
