Grey's famous novel which is now
showing at The Savoy Theatre is
one Of the recent acquisitions Of
movieland. Eleanor Glynn discover

Bishop Berry said his sensational
statement" would give comfort to

Bishop Berry frowned as be read
Bishop Gailor's statement yesterday
at his Offices in the Wesley Building.

extraordinary statement which Is

AT THE QUEEN.

William Hart. now at the Queen

own forcefui style a lesson for the

A drawbridge tender asleep at his
post; an open brioge and a motor
crashing into the inky waters below;

This is one OF the smashing scenes
in "The whistle" that speaks for

AT THE ARCADIA.

Gloria Swanson has accomplished
in one picture. THE Great Moment.
what has taken other actresses many
months to attain. She has been a
triumph and her engagement at the
Arcadia has been but continuous
succession Of interesting perform
ances.
Not since the days OF its opening
has the Arcadia witnessed the
crowds that are turning out 70 see
'The Great Moment" Men like Il
because It is a story Of great strength
and much variety and a galaxy Of
beautiful women. Women like its
story and its players but most Of
all its star who Is the acme of pre-
fection in feminine loveliness. Her
gorgeous outlay of gowns. cloaks
and suits satisfy the feminine taste
for beautiful raiment.
Nothing succeeds like success
so II is to be expected that now that
Miss Swanson has made such a glor-
ious triumph in her first picture
she will continue her work in the
next stellar vehicle. However be-
fore its presentation she is 70 be
seen as one Of the twelve stars IN
Cecil b. DeMnle's triumph, "Ths
Affair of AnotolT which will be
shown in this city beginning, Mon.

Though Miss Swanson takes frs
honors in THE Great Moment" sh,
is forced 10 and she generousl,
shares her success with Milton Sill
in the leading masculine role. Mr.
Slls is a true artist and everything
that one likes to imagine in a maj
strong OF body and strong OF min'
and soul. His work in THE Grea

for him.

TOO FAT TO MARRY
Answer Given by New York Man In
Suit for Breach Of Promise.

Answer Given by New York Man In
Suit for Breach Of Promise.
Henry Abelson, who admits his
weight is between $50 and 300 pounds,
appeared before Justice Tierney in
the Supreme court in New York to de-
fend a breach of promise of marriage
action which Miss Clara Diamond had
filed against him. As Miss Diamond
did not appear, the case was dis
missed.
Abelson cited his heavy weight as
one reason why he would not have
been a suitable husband for Miss Dia-
mond. He said she weighed only 100
pounds. Then, too, he said Miss Dia-
mond had represented to him that she
chad money enough to support three
husbands with ease"
Although he did not admit the
promise of marriage, he was of the
opinion that he was justified in not
continuing his friendship for the plain
tiff.

KEEP 1T UP

The Northwestern Line, which has
now taken over the Omaha Line, will
have to do pretty well to keep up the
record for punctuality which the old
system has established during the
early part of this winter. Usually
the opening of the winter season sees
the schedule, especially on this branch
badly shattered almost every day. So
far this winter the local train has been
very punctual, fact that was es-
pecially appreciated during the holt
day season.
