CLARA K. YOUNG AT
 THE STRAND TODAY

A man forgives a woman every thing after they are married, put nothing that happened before they met. Such is the story of a picture which brings Clara Kimban Young to the Strand for the next three days starting today. It is the story or couple who were married. They had built a beautiful structure of their love for each other, and he had told her often that nothing she had done could make any difference to him: le repeated that her past was nothing to them now that they were happily married
 Then one night. in a strange mood. she could not resist the temptation to tell him. of an indiscretion of her girlhood. Everything changed in twinkling. The man who had pro tested sc many times that nothing could change his love for her, lost faith. He grew suspicious. He could never again trust her.
 Down fell their house of cards in single night, destroyed by that in herent trait of the male to distrust the female if anything comes up that appertains to her past.
 It's a smart story for Clara Kim ball young-just the kind that she knows well how to play. It is a rival for that remarkable success that stamped her one of Americas great

BLACK BEAUTY |S
 NOW AT COLUMBIA

Black Beauty" Anna Sewell's lov- able story of a horse, comes to Mauk's Columbia theater for a three-d engagement today in a master screen production that has earned place among great cinema offerings. The screen version retains all of the beauty of the book story. supplemented by a love romance of the old South by Lillian and George Randolph Chester. This great fea- ture will be shown at regular Colum- bia prices.
 The quaint old fashioned atmo- sphere has been reproduced almost literally and the illusion of Black Beauty's recital of his own story Is preserved wonderfully well. Many Of the pasture and stable scenes are so realistic as to almost convey the in- precision that the horses are actually reading their lines. There are like wise thrills aplenty, the race for the train in the final scenes being one of the best filmings of it's kind the motion picture world has produced. with a succession of sensational rid ing feats. Jean Paige, who plays the role of Jessie Gordon and heroine of the story, has an appealing beauty. She screens and plays extremely we'll. Her supporting cast is of the best
 The Columbia management has made elaborate arrangements for a special Saturday matinee for the kid dies. Because of the great demand for seats Saturday afternoon, the Columbia theater will start at Il o'clock Saturday morning in order to accommodate the many school chil- dren wishing to see this wonderful story.

Elks

It must be pretty difficult to sit still while winsome, charming Miss Wilma Steck makes love to you, and yet that is what Del Lawrence has to do in Where the River Shannon Flows" now showing at the Elks.
 This Chauncey Olcott play is the story of little Peggy O'Moore-and this, by the way. is one of Miss Stocks favorite roles-who comes over from Ireland to visit her guar dian, about whom she has formed a pretty harsh opinion. But she re- mains at his house, tells him her se- crets, and becomes engaged to a man she loathes in order to save him from a possible prison.
 Of course everything turns out all right, and in the fourth act the un happy marriage is nipped in the bud when the guardian, Dan Murphy. played by Del Lawrence), turns the tables on his scheming relatives in law. and wins Peggy for himself

the city, so all in all the visit of this favorite stage and screen star with his company in two stage productions should be the signal for much re- joicing among theatergoers.
 On Thursday and Friday night of his local engagement he will en- act Ibsens dramatic masterpiece, Chests and Saturday and Sunday he will present the new romantic comedy, Taken h." by Herbert Bashford
 The theme of Ghosts involves a great moral question, and, while pre- scented negatively. the purpose of the play Is made more clear by so do- ing. It vividly portrays the result of "the sins of the father in a manner that cannot but help make an inn pression that is lasting and theatric- ally enjoyable at the same time. Like all great writers, Ibsen handles his subject with tact and delicacy. with cut lessening it's dramatic force. For MT Walthall this piece is an excellent vehicle his wonderful voice lending great effect to the dramatic episodes of the Norwegian authors classic, ana it is said he gives a masterIul ana fiery performance.
 His new play, Taken h." which is presented on Saturday and Sunday at both performances, is described as a satirical comedy drama. It is Tn three acts and is the work of Herbert Bashford. a San Francisco dramatist and newspaper man, who scored success with his stage play, The Woman He Married
 In the cast with Mir. Walthall are Mary Charleson, William Clifford, Maude Truex, Elizabeth De Witt. Ar thur Rutledge Sherman Bainoridge' Cleora Orden and Charles De Wore.

 Riverside Park
 The park now is in the finest shape since it started to be the greatest outdoor place in Arizona The trees are in better condition; the big pool is being handled better than ever this year. The orchestra is tha last word in dance music. Last night a party of 20 people who were regular pat rons last season took occasion to re- mark to the management that never in the history of Riverside has there been such an orchestra as this one. y
 The fox trots are full of pep,and many are brand new. The waltzes with two violins and the big bass supply the finest of dreamy music.
 Booths can be had by phoning to the park at any hour. They will be held nightly until o'clock.

Fearful Music Flashed
To Soldiers by Radio
Wireless Transmits Voices, but
Docs Terrible Things TO Them
OH Way Through Ether

Wounded soldiers at Polytechnic Hos
pitai and other public health institu-
tons in the city were entertained yes
terday by wireless concert the sing
ers and players being at the Ship Own
ers Radio Station at Woodside, Queens,
and their music being carried to the
hospitals by radio.
SO far as the audience st Polytechnic
Hospital were concerned there was
more entertainment than enjoyment In
the performance. Those who really
were musically inclined drifted into
the next room as soon as they had got
enough of the marvel and set the
phonograph to grinding records.
What the wild ether waves did to the
voice of Stella Lamont, American
prima donna, and the violin playing Of
Janet Cobb was sin and a shame.
Most of the violin pieces couldn't be
heard at all, which was a good deal of
an Improvement upon the rendition of
the songs. BY turning little knobs the
operator could change Miss Lamont's
voice from that of peanut roaster to
that of small but ferocious locomo-
tive, but the human tone was lost in
the ether.
''It's kind of fun to see what the
contraption will do," said critis in
the audience, "but it doesn't seem to be
quite up to concert stuff."
