WILMA STICK IN
 FAVOR|TE ROLE AT
 THE ELkS TODAY

Beginning with a matinee perform ance this afternoon, Miss Wilma Steck and Del S. Lawrence, with clever supporting cast, will present Miss Stocks favorite play, Kathleen of Kildare a rollicking Irish com |, edy. Kathleen" will mark the be- ginning of the sixth successful week of the Lawrence company for the present season, and each week brings new friends and admirers to the box office for season reservations for all the plays to be presented by the pop ular company.
 The play this week gives Miss Steck an opportunity to be seen in her favorite role, and affords ample range for each member of the capable cast to do his or her best in what is known as one of the fastest and most sparkling comedy dramas of the stage world. It deals in a continu- ously funny way with strikingly unique situations, which results in three acts of the most side splitting comedy imaginable, q veritable aval- anche of fun. The dialogue scintil lates and the lines are replete with epibrammatic wit.
 Throughout the whole plot of the play runs one of the most wholesome and lovable romances that has ever graced the American stage, while all the situations of this absorbing com edy are brought about in a perfectly normal manner. Tn fact, this latter quality is so noticeable in Kathleen of Kildare that it is almost a page from everyday life rather than a play.
 Kathleen" will be presented at the Elks all this week.

 TWIN BEDS, :" FROM TIE STAGE SUCCESS, OPENS AT COLUMBIA

Twin Beds" the screen version of the stage success of the same name by Margaret Mayo and Salisbury Field opens a three day engagement at Mauk's Columbia theater this aft ernoon. The play, bedroom farce comedy, was extremely popular and enjoyed a long run of Broadway, and with companies on the road, over a period of two years.
 NIT. and Mrs. Cartey De Haven are starred in the piece, which adapts itself admirably to their talents, and in the supporting cast, besides Will liam Desmond, are. Helen Raymond who created the role of Signora Monti in the original stage produc- ton, Katherine Lewis, William J. IT, wing and Lottie Williams.
 The plot of the picture revolves about the marital relations of a flirt- atious Italian tenor, and the compli- cations ensuing when he gets in the wrong apartment and sleeps in an- other mans bed. There is an abun- dance of clean wholesome comedy in the farce.
 The Columbia's attraction for Wed- nesday and Thursday is "The Sport of Kings" motion picture version of the famous story by Arthur Somers Roche. The cast contains "A prin- cipals.

MAE MARSH STARS IN PLEASING FILM
 BOOKED FOR FRIDAY

As delightful a combination of comedy, pathos and drama as ever was filmed is "The Little 'Fraid Lady," the new special starring Mae Marsh, which will be shown at Mauk's Columbia theater, beginning unusual story which brings Miss Marsh back to the screen after long absence was adapted from Marjorie Benton Cooke's popular novel, '.The Girl who Lived in the Woods
 "The Little 'Fraid Lady carries the audience through the great outdoors of the far west into the busy marts of trade and a Greenwich village at mosphere. Miss Marsh. giving one of her best portrayalS. is seen as young girl of many moods who has more than her share of the adven- lures that ordinarily come to the in- dividual. In order to show this tall ented actress at her best, great care was taken in the selection of the story, the cast, the settings and the entire production in general.
 Miss Marsh is shown as a little "city" girl who has been disillusioned with regard to the world and it's charity in general and has sought the solitude of the wild country to devel- op her talent as an artist. The indi- vidual who is directly responsible for the disillusionment is one of the closest of kin to the little 'fraid lady, As the story unfolds itself it is apparent she had just cause for seeking solitude. However. the spec tre of things she detests pursues her, and she arises to the various occa- sions that present themselves with the courage of a martyr. A complete character revolution in the story gives Miss Marsh an excellent oppor tunity to display her talents as an actress.
 Miss Marsh has the support of an excellent company of artists includ- ing Tullv Marshall. Kathleen Kirk ham, Charles Meredith. Herbert Prior, Gretchen Hartman and George Berth olom, Jr. Incidentally, Jacques III, 9 most precocious pup, does more than his bit"

FAIRBANKS
 PICTURE, THE NUT,'
 COMES TO STRAND

Douglas Fairbanks comes to the Strand today in The Nut" It is a brand new picture and should find his friends ready to tear the wall paper off the theater to make room, for it is a Fairbanks picture from the first flicker
 The Nut" is laid in Greenwich Village, New York city. For those who do not know Greenwich Village it is we'll to say it is a section away down town" where actors, artists, dreamers and thinkers congregate in a little world of their own. It has it's own custom, it's loose ideas, and has been the center of much criticism. Greenwich Village is bohemian spot in all that the name implies, and here it is that Doug goes for the locale of his newest picture.
 He plays the part of real nut" a young fellow who loves another vil- lager. This girl has a "'nutty'' idea that the rich should open their doors once or twice each year to the poor children. Charlie knows that his best method to gain her favor is to pro- mote the kid reception with some of the rich men, but how is the ques- ton.
 He gets ..nutty'' idea and tries to invite lot of rich men to a display or d patent IlreWOrkS ne mas invented, with the result that the fireworks explode prematurely and The Nut" gets in so bad that he is placed in jail
 Here real complications set in, for he meets a gentleman crook who per suades him to give up a lot of raA money to meet a real gentleman who the crook tells him is his cousin. How be gets out of this and gets his money back, and incidental ly gets the girl, is the pith of this story, and it is some Fairbanks screen tale.
 The Nut'' will be augmented by Mutt and Jeff in ''The Hypnotist.' '' which is the latest Bud Fisher pen comic to come from the studios.
 The Fairbanks picture will run for four days and will give way to Pay ing the Piper George Fitzmorris production.

pictures he has ever made. In the story Farnum marries a girl whom he has never seen. The question arises, is he going to be happy, and then comes the denouement of the tale with such a punch that it carries 1t beyond the commonplace. This chap thought that he had but a few hours to live and he married woman to make her a countess.
 If you think you have seen Farnum you should see him dine with the men whom he knows are to kill him in less than an hour. It is the height of screen achievement to act this kind of a part, and you will agree that Farnum has struck a new gait when he offers this remarkable characteri- zation
