aTHE WOMAN IN HIS HOUSE"
 SHOWING AT TRIANON

To all appearances the first scenes ir "The Woman in His House." pie turing the love affair of the young married couple in the story before their marriage, is drawn from "Thel- ma by Marie Correlli. Just as in "Thelma," the incidents transpire in Norway along the coast where Phi DID" meets "Hilda" in her boat on the rocky coast. There is the character Sieurd, well portrayed by Gareth Hughs, with the disfigyred body and the loving heart. The wondrous beauty of the Norwegian shores makes this part of the picture the pictorially beautiful thing that Marie Correlli described. It is the most appealing part of the picture, too'
 After the first scenes in Norway after the principals are married the action shifts to the city of New york and the general tone of naturainess is changed to the life of artifciality in the city The story of "Thelma is practically dropped and the incl dents in New York make romance of after> marriage quite dilfereh' from Correlli's. While it is pity that the sicry could not have stayed m Norway and kept up the idea oi simplicity and the romantic appear os nature, it is still very entertaining as it occurs.
 The performance of Gareth Hughes as Sifurh fs artistic in the ex x- treme. Mildred Harris is an espeeiai- ly good Hilda while in the Nor wegian scenes, and always cainty and pretty.

LYRIC BILL HAS THREE
 GAnn ACTS THIS HALF

The Lyric has a very nice bill thls week with the two last acts as the best. They are the comedian. Bob Milliken" and "The Werner Amorous Trio" humorous musical act. Clay ton and Fletcher, in novelty dark act, also score a success.
 Current News over the first act came on being the Norvelles, Lou and Geneyieve, in The Artists Studio. The studio idea Is used for a gym nastic act that is made more attrac- tive by the pretty girls participating
 Two syncopating singers, Carroii and German, come next. They sing very nicely and certainly pick up at the end of the act. A mild success
 odds and Ends begins with dark act. where, Clayton and Fletcher, a man and girl sing against black with only a round light framing them. They have quaint lovers quarrel and sing songs with meanings connected with their quarrel. Lights on. They sing together and he sings later alone 8 laughing song that was the best thing in the act, and got lots of laughs.
 Bob Milliken has been here before he is. a scream as comedian, ana mas a wonderful line of jokes and man. ner that he has worked up to per lection for comedy purposes. MT Milliken certainly knows how to Keep his audience amused and his Jokes all reached the mark with the Mon- day audience.
 The Werner trio act is little bit of everything and looks like 1t VIII be a juggling act at first. HOW ever, it turns out to be better mu- sical act than anything. The pianist celoist and violinist together nake a fine trio and their music is remark ably tuneful and appealing. The eel loist is fine player and made a hit as a pantomoine comedian.

WALLACE REID AT STRAND IN 1.-THE HELL DIGGERS"

Every minute brings on more talk in The Hell Diggers," a typically dashing Wallace Reid picture, and the best story he has had yet. It is a production that can really boast of "a thrill a minute" And such a breezy story, tremendously interest ing and full of fighting manhood with the brains much of the time, but with brawn when necessity de- mands.
 The idea of "The Hell Diggersv will be new in most localities where their menace is unknown. The old hunt ing for gold in the west has turned from q harmless occupation to or ganized destruction. These diggers of gold now with vast machines that resemble sea craft, and are usually surrounded by water in few months time can turn a fertile county or two into a rocky waste: turning up the. rocks to the surface they bury the rich earth deep un1er an .m- possible load of rocks and gravel.
 So when the farmers start war on the "hell diggers," as they have named them, they get the full sym pathy of the spectator who has seen the waste. Wallace Reid as young engineer employed by the "hell dig gers,' in way that is too finely en- tertaining in it's very unexpected- ness to tell plays a part in this war that would hardly be expected at the beginning.
 Lois Wilson is pretty feminine lead for the love story that sur rounds the affairs of the grave and Ga shing engineer. With this feature is the usual Pathe News.

.Iy WOMEN ONLY KNEW AT THE ALCAZAR THIS WEEK

Every now and then picture bobs up with all of the old-fashionec sentiment that once made up the bulk of fiction and drama, combined in new treatment. Such produc- ton is If Women Only Knew. There is the heartless flirt, who lives to tempt; the fine girl who stays at home doing housework, while the hero is kissing the flirt and he hard working old mother, who IS fast losing her eyesight.
 It is a story that is based on the idea. now fast fading. that women are divided into two distinct classes, the hopelessly bad and the hopeless- ly good, either with the overfascinn- tion formerly credited to the bad one or the complete lack of charm that was supposed to signify goodness"
 All of which is not intended to mean that the old fashioned story does not have its charm. -In this there is plenty of incident of an emo tional nature, with love story that takes the hero and his young wife to New York, where they quarrel and sAparate Che marries the flirD, and there is lots of incident around college that leads up to the marriage. in short, it is all very quaint and interesting and fine entertainment to those who enjoy that kind C. thing.
 Sunshine Comedy about a big husband who is imposed upon and becomes the turned worm-is an ao- ditional attraction.
