BIDDEFORD TENEMENT
FIRE FORCES INMATES
OUT IN ZERO WEATHER

Biddeford, Me-. Jan. 21-Four fami-
lies were driven today into the
street on the coolest morning of the
winter, the thermometer registering
% below zero, and a young woman
who wa ssick in bed was rescued by
firemen, when four tenement wood
en- building IN Quimby, owned by the
Pepperell Manufacturing Company
was burned today.
The loss on building and contents
is estimated at $500, and is covered
by insurance. The fire, which was
started by an overheated sheet iron
stove spread quickly through the top
of the building. filling the rooms on
both floors with smoke and com
pelling the occupants to fee.
Miss Clarice Lapoints. who was
nearly overcome by smoke. being
unable to find her way from the
dwelling house. was about to lean
from a second story window to the
ground, when a fireman seized her
and carried her from the tenement,
by means of a ladder.
The f1remen suffered much from
the cold, the hands and ears of a
number of volunteers being frost
bitten. The firemen fought the blaze

ADJUSTMENTS
NEW STAR MAKES
HIT AT COLONIAL

Augusta people have new motion
picture favorite. She is Constance
Binney, a Realart star, who made
her first appearance at the Colonial
theatre yesterday in "Erstwhile
Susan" Colonial patrons have not
before had the privilege of seeing
this most beautiful and unusually
talented star but they will be sure to
crowd the theatre when she comes
again. "Erstwhile Susan" will be
given for the last times today in
connection with the rest of the su-
per-program provided.
"Erstwhile Susan" in which Miss
Binney appears is based on the far
famed novel "Barnabetta" by Helen
r. Martin and it is a play Of such
merit that it won for Mrs. Fiske who
starred in it on the stage a long
awaited return on Broadway.
1t is story Of the Pennsylvania
Dutch-of a modern Cinderella, a
scullery maid, the unwilling slave of
a rich widower and his two loutish
sons. It tells Of powerful contrast
ism of false love and true love, of
the unfolding of the bright flower of
innocent girlhood triumphant even
in a somber environment of selfish
ness, sordidness and Satanic cruelty.
Another big feature to be seen for
the last times today at the Colonial
is 1.-THE Love Cheat" in which
Creighton Hale and June Caprice ap-
pear. Making love under false pre-
lenses to a girl with millions: WIN
ming her heart only to realize what a
contemplate trick has been played;
confession and disgrace to say moth
ing of the sorrow Of lost affections
these are the colorful threads Of this
unusual comedy. But there is a hap
py termination to the story so all is
WELL
On top Of these two big features,
is given "Salome VS.. Shenandoah"
Mack Sennett comedy Of unusual
fun that kept the audiences yesterday
in a gale of laughter. The Outing
Chester picture Hidden Gardens" is
also a feature in itself.-Adv.

present Victory" 1t is one Of the
greatest dramatic offerings yet pro-
duced for Paramount-A Aircraft, but
it is not war picture.
To screen the great scenes in VIC
tory" which was made from Joseph
Conrad's famous novel. Maurice
Tourneur made full use of Califor-
MAS natural beauties. Several cpl
sodes were filmed on the rugged
coast Of Catalina Island. To repro
duce as nearly as possible the YER
dure of the South Seas. where the
story is laid, the tropical luxuriance
of Palm Springs was used. For the
sea scenes the broad expense of the
Pacific in both calm and storm served
admirably. A schooner, a Chinese
junk. and a stout whaleboat add to
the faithfulness of the background.
The cast includes Jack Holt.
Seena Owen, Wallace Berry, Lon
CLANCY, and Bull Montana.-Adv.

POWERFUL PLAYS
FOR WEEK END

Pauline Frederick in Bonds of
Love" and Frank Mayo, j. Barney
Sherry and Kathryn Adams in "a
Little Brother Of the Rich" are two
Of the big things offered for the
weekend at the Colonial theatre.
Advance reports say that Miss Fred
erick has never appeared to better
advantage than she does in the latest
and biggest Goldwyn picture Of hers.
1t is a story that will rivet the at
tention from start to finish. The
other feature has already won a
reputation on the stage that has
made it stand as one of the biggest
plays ever produced. The screen
version is even better than the
spoken drama.

OF the appropriation, the maximum

in payment for the care Of patients
from sources other than the State.
Appropriations were made to some
rs hospitals. OF this number eight

JUST MARY JANE
NEW NAME FOR
FAMOUS PLAY

There may be some people in Au-
gusta who remember Buckeye" 1t
was famous play two generations
ago. so famous that it was given all
over the country. 1t was the father
of all rural dramas and the founda-
ton upon which all country plays
have since been laid. Now, under
the name Of Just Mary Jane" which
is far more appropriate title, it
will be given for the last three days
of this week, beginning today, by
the Luttringer Stock Co. at the Au-
gusta Opera house.
This revival Of one Of the most de-
lightful and satisfying plays in
American dramatic history is sure to
be immensely pleasing to the lovers
Of the best on the stage. Just
Mary Jane" is rural comedy drama
that cannot fail to please. It
breathes the wholesome air that is
the greatest asset the stage can
have. Mary Jane seemed to come
from nowhere and 1t looked as il she
was headed in the same direction.
Then there came a change in her for
tunes and she became what she was
destined to be-a girl with a place in
life and a real parent and a husband.
Ann Kingsley who has demon
strated her ability TO play roles of
this kind In way second to nobody
else pow appearing in stock will be
seen as Mary Jane. 1t is a big part
and a worthwhile part. Miss
Kingsley is to Mary Jane what Ma
bel Normand has been to Mickey,
and all Of theatredom knows what
that is. Besides the introduction of
q number Of mighty interesting char
acters. "Just Mary Jane" furnishes a
story that for absorbing interest and
real comedy has never been sur
passed.

the program Maurice Tourneur win
