PALACE-"Cappy Ricks."

One of the most delightful Of movie
pictures is being shown this week at
the Palace in Peter B. Kyne's "Cappy
Ricks.' with Thomas Meighan in the
heroic role. The play carries all the
thrills. excitement and romance that
go to make up a successful movie.
and the story is excellently interpret
ed by a capable company of actors.
Give Tom Meighan a congenial role
and there is no better leading man in
the movies. In ''Cappy Ricks'' he
seems to get every point possible out
of the characterization. Agnes Ayres
blends her beauty with convincing
sincerity and adds greatly to the en-
joyment of the picture. Charles Able.
in the title role, carries the fun of
the production and never loses a
chance for a laugh. The remainder Of
the cast is adequate. The scenery is
beautiful. especially spots along the
Pacific coast that are without COM
parison.

COLUMBIA-"The Three Mus.

At Loew's Columbia Theater Doug
las Fairbanks splendid screen pro-
duction of Alexander Dumas great
romance. THE Three Musketeers," is
maintaining its commanding lead in
the interest Of photoplay patrons. The
crowded lobbies of the theater and
the long lines awaiting at the box Of
flee continue through this the second
week Of the picture. and doubtless
Will do so for many days to come.
The consensus Of opinion seems to
be that Mr.. Fairbanks has hit the
high mark Of his career and has pro-
duced a masterpiece. Perhaps it is
the general interest in the star which
thus far seems to have dimmed a
characterization deserving Of quite as
much commendation as that Of the
lovable and invincible D'Artagnan.
Mr.. Nigel de Bruliers picture Of the
great Richelieu is one of the master
pieces of the screen.
All the world loves a real story of
romance and adventure. and "The
Three Musketeers" of Dumas has not
been surpassed in the ages in this
great story Of the days of Louis XIII
Of France.

The governor Of the state Of Mon

not more than three tax experts to aid

word as to these experts and is not
