NEW MACK SENIVETT
 FILM, MARRIED LIFE,
 AT COLUMBIA TODAY

Ben Turpin plays a new role in Married Life, the Mack Sennett comedy that comes to the Columbia today for a four day engagement. The inimitable cross-eyed comedian ap- pears as a college football hero, or pearance is as Rodney St Clair the dashing leading man in an amateur drama of heart throbs. The drama is written by Phyllis, wife of Jimmy Fin lawson, and is probably the worst thing ever written for the stage, which is saying a whote lot.
 However, that would not have both cred Jimmy Finlayson if Phyllis had not insisted on taking the heroine's s lady killer The play calls for a rescue of Phyllis by Ben on the average Of three times in each act, and there are four acts. Jimmy attends rehearsals and after the 95rd kiss no one should be surprised because the scenery falls on Ben.
 In the hospital attended by Sennett beauties in nurses uniforms life isn' so bad for Ben until he has to undergo an operation, and Jimmy works himself in to administer the anaesthetic. He makes a thorough thing of it, with the result that Ben takes on the appear ance of a toy balloon and floats se- renely out of the window.

 The pool will center interest with the patrons this afternoon, for several novel stunts will be staged. Diving exhibitions will occupy a prominent position on the lineup. as will swim ming races endurance races, handicap events. races for the little boys and girls. events for ladies as well as gen tlemen, and of course Bob Orsinago, the Phoenix Houdini. will thrill with his exhibition of skill in releasing him. self from handcuffs. ropes, chains and other restraining devices while in the water This act is as clever an ex- hibition has ever been staged in the city.

FORBIDDEN TRA|LS'' WITH BUCK JONES
 IS HIPS OFFERING

Buck Jones, the screens newest find and the man who in a single picture jumped to the class of leaders in west ern characteriZations, comes to the Hip to play a three days engagement, starting today, in Forbidden Trails.'
 As "Squint' Taylor, owner of the Arrow ranch, Buck Jones has received a bequest from a dying life long friend through which he has inherited the friends daughter, Marion. He has never seen the girl. but he as learned fro mher father that she is the owner of valuable property, and that this property is being sought hy a certain gang of schemers. Taylor promises to care for the girl, and the friend passes away.
 Taylor immediately starts out to find the girl he has never seen, and fate plays right into his hands, for on the same train he runs into three men and gleans from their whispered con yersation that they know considerable of Marion. Taylor decided to return home and start on a new course. He has, in the meantime, been elected sheriff of the county, and is ready to take the oath of office. An attempted train robbery nipped in the bud by the sheriff places Marion in his hands, for she is a passenger on the train. and while Taylor does not know the iden- tity of the girl, he is strangely at tracted to her. When he attempts to take his oath of office, the teetR of the schemers are shown, for the lead CT respected citizen of the town. and the man who is seeking by hook or crook to gain control of the section. attempts to block Taylor's taking the oath A fight is the result and Fay Tor wins. Then it is war to the death, with the girl and her fortune as the stake for the winner.
