Brilliant Cast in
 "The Cup of Fury

With an able cast selected with great care, ''The Cup of Fury" an Eminent Authors Production from the bok by Rupert Hughes and made at the Goldwyn Studios, to be at the Central theatre Saturday and the Eagle Eunday, is illustrative of how convincing picture can be if it's players are exactly suited by type to their parts. After viewing "The Cup of Fury one cannot imagine the char acters in it being portrayed by any but the people who have the parts. They seem to live and breath on the screen, so well do they blend with the trend of the story.
 Helene Chadwick has one of the most dramatic roles of her career as Mamise Her sweetness, ,and simplici- ty win quick sympathy for the girl whose innocent confidence in her foster parents leads her into a trap set by the secret service for a band oT German conspirators.
 Rockcliffe Fellowes combines in Davidge culture and chivalry with manliness and loyalty. and make him a clean-cut young fellow of pleasing personality whose ire it is not safe Ito arouse.
 Sydney Ainsworth is very prOmin- ent in the early part of the picture as Verrinder, hIman-bloodhound type of secret service man who does not understand the meaning of defeat. Clarissa Selwynne as Lady Clifton Wyatt is a cold naughty aristocrat. Kate Lester and Herbert Standing as Lord and Lady Webbing are eXcell- ent Frank Leigh has the despicable part of Nickv, and Florence Deshon and Dwight Crittenden play Polly and Major Widdicomb. H. A.

BIG AUDIENCE FINDS DELIGHT
 IN POLLYANNA
Mary Pickford As the Glad Girl Makes a Tired World
 Seem Brighter

Again it has been conclusiveyl dem- onstrated by last nights overflow at the Grand theatre that it is the clean, wholesome pictures and not the false stimulus of extreme drama or comedy that the public really wants.
 "Pollyanna." adopted from the wide ly popular story Of the same name, in which Mary Pickford portrays the title role. is undoubtedly the sort of motion picture production that sends enc away from the theatre at peace with the world, in the same frame of mind as that which follows a task well performed, or a pleasant discus sion With a friend that clears the atmosphere of uncertainty and doubt.
 Mary PickfOrd was adorable. As the Glad Girl" she scattered seeds of "GladneSs" over a fertile field in a manner 10 at once edlight and fright cn the heart of the splendid old doc tor whose practice diminished in the same ratio as "POllyanna's" radius of gladness-giving heightened through out the village.
 Her very presence diffused the rays of "Gladness" that lighted up the entire theatre with their soft glows. Miss Pickford is ideal as "Pollyanna" and her power over the emotions of her audience confirms the rumor that floated up in advance from other cities, that handkerchiefs of the ladies and gruff |clearings of the throats of the old gentlemen, would be freely employed at certain stages in the picture.
 The lesson of "Gladness" and op timism which every thought and ac- tion of the little orphan, "Pollyanna," inspires. is splendid in it's purpose and constructive in its effect. The won derful effect of the ''Glad Game" on each individual upon whom it is tried is astonishing. The whole village is converted to "Gladness": household of gabby gossips is completely put to rout: a little orphan boy gets a home and father and many others are given an insight in the many worth while things of life. in such a way as to fill a crowded theatre with thrills and gladness.
 You, who are always looking for safe and productive investment for your money, MT. Hard-Headed Busi- nessman, the returns on "Pollyanna" are of a sort that few ventures will pay; dividends are declared every minute of the day and coupons are always there for the clipping The shares are not difficult of. purchase and the corporation of "Gladness" is invincible and incapable of bankrupt cy, because it's resources are unlim- tied.

The former has been forced TO the front

DOCTORS FREED
IN BOOZE CASES
State Fails to Produce Evil
dence of Intent to Sell.

Five Indianapolis doctors and two
dentists, charged with violation Of the
liquor laws, today were found not guilty
and discharged by Judge James A. Col
Inns in criminal court.
The seven men discharged are Drs. Ed
gar NJ. Outland. Charles p. Wier, AIonzo
s. Neely. Calvin K. Atkins, c. Roland
Perdue, Pearl O. Dickey and Charles
Burrs.
The state contcnded that traffic in
whisky was Illegal, and that the doc
tors wrote fake prescriptions to se-
cure the liquor
The indictments, In two counts,
charged the doctors with having Tile
gally furnished intoxicating liquors, and
unlawfully keeping intoxicating liquors
to be furnished to other persons.
In making ruling In the cases Judge
Collins concluded with the following
paragraphs:
"The defendants each admit the issuing
of the prescriptions and obtaining intoxl-
eating liquors, towit, whisky, upon these
prescriptions and the evidence further
showed that they used this whisky either
for themselves or in connection with
some other drug or drugs as medicine.
lis that sufficient to bring these de-
PENDANTS within the provisions of section
of the act?
IF so, the state is required to show
that the defendants either furnished or
disposed of intoxicating liquor or that
they unlawfully kept intoxicating liquors
with intent to sell, barter exchange or
give away, furnish and otherwise dispose
of the same.
This evidence wholly fails to do.
"The clerk is directed to enter find
ing Of not guilty In each Of these cases
and show the defendants discharged"
Judge Collins also quoted the Indiana
supreme court as saying: THE thing
aimed at is the traffic in liquor as a
beverage"
Much interest has been attached to
the disposition of the cases, as the pro
hibition forces of the state expected to
strike at an alleged Illegal traffic in
liquor, obtalnable through unscrupulous.
physicians and dentists using the local
cases as a basis.
The indictments were the result of in
vestigation of the Marion county grand
jury of the Illegal sales of liquors by
julius and Louis Z. Hagg, owners of a
chain of drug stores in indianapolis, now
under commitments to Atlanta penitentary,
convicted in federal court Of violation of
the liquor laws.
Alleged cake prescriptions" written by
the doctors were filed at the Haag stores.

Referring to recent democratic charges
that he had expressed himself in the
