MATINEE ID START
 NEW PRODUCTION IF COMPANY AT RAMONA

Matinee at o'clock today starts the new week for the Broadway Girls company at the Ramona in the sparkling farce comedy War Brides" which producer McGreer of the new company personally vouches for as the snappiest and most tune full of the musical shows of the sea- son, with brilliant theme and a humorous plot the bill is enlivened with new song hits, dancing and vaudeville specialties by the gifted cast of principals, backed up by the dainty girlies of the Broadway Revue in the most bewitching costumes imaginable This tempting dish of musical and vaudeville treats is served to the accompanimfht of de- lightful music by the feature orc 9s- tra which the Ramona boasts for the present season.

THE INNER VOICE
 GREAT PHOTOPLAY AT COLUMBIA TODAY

"The Inner Voice." which comes to Mauk's Columbia theater today and Monday, is a photoplay possessing wonderfully human story and an abundance of sympathetic appeal Preaching a powerful sermon, yet unlike many other pictures dealing with the moral and spiritual regen- eration of a man, it does not sacri- flee the dramatic values for the sake of moral preachment.
 E. K. Lincoln, who has to his cred it many startling characterizations in past photoplays, has the role of Mark Reid in "The Inner Voice." As a lover, as the derelict who is com pletely down and out, and finally as the mysterious money king, he is all ways effective and forceful. His work in "The Inner Voice. makes this production exceedingly strong and compelling.
 This picture has had a decided eff feet on the motion picture industry along the lines of raising the stand ard of the photoplays produced.
 Sharing headline honors with Lin coin on today's bill is the inimitable Jimmy Aubrey in his newest com edy. The Nuisance" Jimmy lives up to the title but he proves to be much more of a nuisance to the city slickers who are trying to get pos session of his employers farm than he does to the widow and her daugh- 1 ter, whom he finally marries. It is great to see Jimmy as an accepted | lover. Usually his fadeouts are more or less disappointing on account of | the way in which he always gets ] crossed in love: this time, however, | everything comes out all right fol 1 Jimmy.
 A Prizma color reel. Sunshine l Gathers;" one of Aesop's Film Fa- ! bles, "The Cat and the Canary" and the Columbia orchestra are the aug
 menting features of this weeks open- | ing program.

 The production was' directed by Sydney Franklin, and finds Mary Pickford supported by a most excep- tional company of artists.

POLYAN|VA' |S THIS WEEKS ATTRACTION
 AT ELKS THEATER

The glad play ''Pollyanna" will be the attraction at the Elks theater for the week starting with the mati- nee today at 2:30.
 Seldom has such list of success full plays been offered by any Stock company with the quality that has characterized the presentation of the Bainbridge-K -Karns company at the Elks theater this season Each week patrons can be heard as they leave the theater "the best yet" This is the aim of the management, and they are being financially rewarded for this view. Royalty, production or casts have not entered th minds of the management when it comes to the play, for they have wisely decided. The Play it the thing"
 In view of this take into considera- ton the play for this week when 'Pollyanna" will hold down the boards, to use stage slang. The authors and producers are asking the highest possible royalty for play of it's kind, and it is a safe bet that it is one of the highest royalties ever paid for the privilege of presenting a play in thS city. Extra people are used and considering it from all an gles, it is the most expensive from a managerial standpoint thus far pro- duced this season, even surpassing "Smilin' Through which is rated as one of the biggest" released for stock purposes.
 "Pollyanna," which Is known to all
 most every man, woman and child in the United States, by reason of its enormous sale when in book form. has been. dramatized by Eleanor Porter l and lends itself beautifully to the legitimate stage.

Really that title page is an index
and a review And when we repro
duce, as we do. the frontispiece oppo-
site, there is little obligation - say
more. Yet more will be said For the
bit of the courtship of Miles Standish
in the manner OF Scott Fitzgerald
must be quoted to go with the picture:
1T was of some such yellow-haired
Priscilla that Homer dreamed when he
smote his Tyre and chanted, i sing of
arms and the men; it was at sight of
such as she that rare Ben Jonsons
Dr. Iaustus cried. Was this the face
that launched thousand ships" Tn

century tho Fiesolan terra rima Of

This seems trifle excessive. Mr.
Fitzgerald is not always, always
wrong

Ii is only fair to inform the en-

feeling that "A chance for good deal

as wen as old cities, and reclaiming a
lost language is an adventure. as 1t
proved in the finding of the famous
Rosetta Stone:
Seventeen centuries went by and
Egypt remained a land of mystery.
But in the year 1898 French General
by the name of Bonaparte happened
to visit East Africa to prepare for an
attack upon the British Indian col
onies. He did not get beyond the Nile,
and his campaign was a failure but
quite accidentally the famous French
expedition solved the problem of the
ancient Egyptian picture language
"One day a young French officer
found stone which
carried three inscriptions. one of these
was in Greek The Greek language
was known. In the year 1902
a French professor by the name of
Champollion began to compare the
Greek and the Egyptian texts of the
famous Rosetta Stone. In the year
1928 he announced that he had dis
covered the meaning of fourteen little
figures. A short time later he died
from overwork. To-day the
story of the valley of the Nile is better
known to us than the story of the
Mississippi River
