CHAUNCEY OLCOTT IN MACUSHLA' AT ELKS MONDAY NIGHT ONLY

Sunday night, February ?. will start the season of real Irish fun at the ElkS theater when Chauncey Olcott appears at that popular house in his most pronounced success, "Macushla." This engagement is to be in the nature of a presentation of Rida Johnson founS's beautiful comedy of Irish life, when costumes were worn by the peas antry as we'll as by landlords
 Macushla" is filled with that rare Irish wit which has won its way into the hearts of multitudes, and with a little love and intrigue mixed in, an Irish song thrown in for good measure; our readers are bound to spend an evening well worth while.
 MT. Olcott has promised four new songs by the writers of many of his former successes. and we are told that
 MacuShla" Ashore" tPulse of My HearD is bound to rival the popularity of Mother Machree.'
 MT. OlcOtt'S other songs will be "I'll Miss You Old Ireland, God Bless You. Goodbye" '"Tis an Irish Girl l Love and She's Just Like You" and That's How the Shannon Flows"
 MT. Erlanger gave his personal at tention to the selecting of the men and women who were to assist MT. O1cott in this popular revival. and among them are Madge West, Louise Francis, Nellie Strong, Josie ClafIin, Leo Stark, John Todd John Hamilton, Joe Ken nedy, James Marr, J. Arthur OBrien and several others
 Seats for the performance can be had at the box office starting Thursday, January 20, a. m.

 Exile as is the case with her every motion picture production is power ful love story. Its theme is unusually strong. and therein lies it's chief charm. enhanced through the wonderful enlo- tional ability of the star, who has hundreds of admirers in this city. Paramount has surrounded the distin- guished star with remarkably strong cast in which will be found Milton Stills, and several other we'll known ac- tors and actresses. The staging is perfect, the locale faithfully main tained, and the action positive and perfect. Exile" will be augmented by another of the Christie comedies.

DRAMATIC SCENES IN
 'BROKEN BUTTERFLY

The thrill of big dramatic moments that throb with human emotions has been achieved in The Broken Butter fly" the Maurice Tourneur story of a great love which opens a three-day engagement at the Columbia theater Thursday. The picture is dramatiza- tlon of the story ''Marcene," written by Penelope Knapp, which created a sen sation- Marcene is a character that appeals directly to the sympathies. The pathos of the virgin hearted girl who gave all to the man she loved, was branded as scarlet woman, is over whelming. One of the most intense situations is achieved when the father of her child, believing she is dead. re- turns with his wife, her own sister Torn with love and pity for the unfor- tunate girl determined to right the wrong he has done and give his child a name. he asks his wife to make the sacrifice of his love that her sister may find happiness, and she consents. But happiness came too late for the poor little broken butterfly" and death stalked in.

property Of the North American In

pany OF New York. when a federal
jury here brought In "a verdict in
the company's favor.
The company sued Edward 8
Curtis. Clara J. Curtis. hts divorced
wife. and the Curtis Studios In Seat
tie for money which II was alleged
had financed Curtis on his photo
graphic expeditions when he began
his epoch making serica OF pictures
portraying the Indian life OF North
America. This money had not been
repaid. according 90 the complaint
and a garnishement was secured on
the property.
Suit was brought In tho district

Possession OF practically the en-
tire output OF Curtis life work was
sought. and the Curtis studio wns
stripped Of its priceless art treasures.
which were stored under government

Intrinsic value.
The photographs and curios, val.
ued at upwards OF $4,000. go TO the

Mrs. Curtis stated Wednesday that
an appeal win probably be made
from the decision. based on the al.
legged fact that the charter OF the

before suit was brought. and that II
is really "a defunct corporation.

Whether the famous photographs
