1.-THE Old Nest" at the Ditmas the
atre gives you a chance to see a
picture that has been hailed by
critics and reviewers as the most
satisfying all-American picture that
has yet been produced. The theme,
that of a mother who sees her six
children leave her, IN by one, Is
common to American families. All
the poignancy Of feeling that these
leave-takings arouse in real life
have been caught on the screen
Rupert Hughes is the author of
this unusual tale of mother love.
He has sought to present a cross
section of a universal theme as APP
piled to an American family. All
the joys and sorrows connected
with raising a family have been
dramatized. Each of the children
grow to manhood or womanhood
with his own individual interests,
then leaves the old nest to follow
the call of his desires. Only their
mother is left to her loneliness and
her menOries. But, as in every
American family the young remem-
Der the old nest and return to 1t.
The picture was produced by
Goldwyn and was directed by Regi-
maid Barker. Mary Alden plays the
old mother and her performance
has been said to be a masterpiece
of screen acting.

Present" is an added attraction on

THEATRES
Strand

"The Woman in the House. with
IAN alI-star cast, which includes Mill
dred Harris, opened an engagement
at the Strand theatre last night, Is
in every sense of the word a screen
masterpiece, ranking with h great
est motion pictures ever made. Inc
theme, which presents a striking eX-
ample of the divine power or mother
love, is so thoroughly human that
even the most critical audience can
not fail to enjoy it. Ageold and
time-worp, it is ever new and really
constitutes a bulwark of all social
life. In this instance the hand OF
genius may be seer In the devel-
opment of the theme and In the rare
and touching emotions, which have
been brought out under the dlrec-
ton of John Stahl.
Mildred Harris has the leading
feminine role, and she is seen in a
new light. The story concerns o
people whose counterpart may be
found in any gathering of repre-
sentative human beings-the mate
realistic husband, the l~ove-craving
wife the philosophic friend and the
child. Ramsey Wallace appears OPP

Of little Richard Hedrick as the

Returning to the silver sheet after
a long siege of war work with the
American Ambulance Corps in Eu-
rope, Edith Storey captivated her
audience last night at the Crescent
theatre where she appeared AS the
lead in THE Golden Hope"
Miss Storey's dramatic portrayal
of a devoted wife is a perfect piece
of acting. The story shows her
sticking to her husband "a weak
type, who is a fugitive from justice,
throughout a heart-rending search
for gold. After two. years of priva-
tions and hardships in the desert
land and in the gold hills she per-
suades him to return to what civili-
zation a border town affords. He Is
contented for a short time but a
rising young men "grubstakes" him
and he slips off alone in a second
search for the precious metal.
The wife finding herself, alone,
seeks employment and is engaged as
secretary and stenographer by the
man who staked her husband. There
are many interesting episodes in
GLIDING the return of the husband
who actually strikes gold. But ro-
nance has found its way into the
heart of the long suffering wife.
There are tense moments and tense
situations which try the histrionic
ability of Miss Storey.

William Lewis, prominent land own
Ier and planter, was shot to death
from Ambush as he was going to his
nome III tie country from Potts Camp
late this afternoon, according to adj
vices received by Sheriff Slaydea to-
night.
While officers have no definite clue
Co the assassin it is believed that Mr..
Lewis was slain because ne had
threatened punishment upon certain
manufacturers Of moonshine liquor
who persists in selling their products
to persons close to him.
Mr.. Lewis was shot at close range
at a point about five miles from Potts
Camp, as he was riding home. Two
loads Of a number five bird shot took
effect. Both were fired from the side,
one entering and breakig ais neck,
the other embedding itself in his
breast. That he attempted to defend
himself was indicated by the finding
of his revolver under his head. Two
shells had been fired.
Mr.. Lewis was about 60 years of
age. He is survived by wife and
seven children.
Immediately after the shooting
bloodhounds at New Albany were tele-
graphed for. These were started
