ADJUSTMENTS
HARRYsCAREY
UP AGAINST IT
M LATEST PLAY

Harry Carey, Human Harry
Carey" as everyone now calls him,
has been UP against it in many
Universal productions in which he
has appeared, but in Hearts Up"
his latest feature in which he will
be seen at the Colonial theatre to-
day he finds himself face to face
with a new proposition, even one
before which the dauntless punch
er that he is might well quail.
His pal dies in his arms just as
the former is about to welcome to
the West his daughter. There is
nothing to it but that Harry Carey
as David Brent, must pass himself
or as the father Of the girl, an easy
matter, for she has never seen her
father.
Numerous complications develop
and the action runs along SO swift
ly that the play proves to be all
together too short. Carey suddenly
realizes that he is in love with the
girl and wonders what he shall tell
her about the deception he has
'practiced. incidentally, she is in
love with him, but thinks he is her
father. all the time. The outcome
OF the situation is sufficiently sat
isfying to please everyone.
q Another Western picture, a story
Of the rugged old days. is that in
which Franklin. Farnum appears,
"Helrs Fury Gordon" a stirring
two.reeler that is sure to bring the
spectators to their feet. The In
ternational News and the Paramount
Magazine are other features on the
program.-Adv.

Lips" the big feature that will be
seen at the Augusta Opera house
on Friday and Saturday. That. in
itself, should be sufficient guar
antee of its excellence.
But the appealing drama has
much more to recommend it than
the name of the man back of it,
great as he is. 1t is one of the
most compelling, most human, most
-the-skin plays ever seen on
the screen.
Harsh critics have declared that
this play is the biggest thing
Thomas Ince has done since he
presented civilization" But "Ly-
ing Lips is not spectacle in any
sense of the word. 1t is a straight
drama, so we'll presented and so
wonderfully staged that it is bound
to stand as a screen classic.
House Peters, who has been seen
SO many times and so favorably in
other plays, has the leading role,
that of Blair Cornwall.
The other members Of the cast
are the best that could be secured
SO that the play is presented his
torically in a way to do credit to
the name of Ince. Not only are
there a number of big and intense
ly dramatic and thrilling scenes,
but Lying Lips" is presented with
lavishness that would do credit
to a spectacle.
Other attractions with this big
feature are THE Champion LIAR
and SLEEPY Head" a Pathe come
dy.-Adv.

the rich man Jared the same as the

same. But, present a bill that will
regulate the matter, and I'll help it.
Gen. Presson - This getting men
when the emergency comes is all
wrong in thinking. Must have the
organization all ready for business.
Rep. E. j. Nadeau of Biddeford said
he served on the Mexican border and
also in the 103d overseas. He was
strongly, opposed to the compulsory
feature. .
Rep. Doyle of Biddeford spoke for
the act providing a service button for
the men who couldn't enter the fed
eral service but Joined the Sd Maine,
saying they did their best and were
entitled to recognition. Gen. Presson
thought it a good idea but thought
every one of the regiment should have
uttons. if any did.
General Presson spoke for the act
amending the armory law. with refer
once for public uses, saying that sew
eral places in the State would erect
armories, on the $3.50 basis, provid-
ed they could be assured that they
could have part of the building for
municipal purposes. 1t would not N
tcrfere with it's military purposes.
Three acts appeared in relation t.
INC Bonus law. 1t was stated tha:
ait would unite on the measure That
will include in those eligible for rho
bopus the men still in the service,
who can secure certificates of good
standing; and extends the time fol
applications for the bonus to 1922. it
now being limited to September, 1921.
No provisions were made in the
acts for the erection Of a statue in
memory of the Maine boys who served
in the World War; amending law pro-
fioiting treatment of army and navy
veterans as paupers, by adding
World War veterans; and act to
accept benefits of act Of Congress TO

ecutive session.

many cases as being politically in
capacitated.
Maher took the floor to refute the
arguments against his amendment
and stated that, he had little faith in
the passage of the amendment and
that he was working for the future
effect of the bill.
McIllheron of Lewiston urged a
careful consideration of both the act
and amendment that justice might
be done to the people of the State.
Maher called for the previous ques-
ton and the amendment was voted
down and the act unamended, was
ruled by the Chair as passed to the
third reading. Third reading was
given the measure on motion of Ma
her.
Forbes of Paris called for a divi-
sion of the House on the passage of
the act to be engrossed and it was
passed by vote of los to z.
An amendment to the order calling
for 40 codification and grouping of
enactments creating State depart
ments that the work be completed
before April /, 1922, and that each
member of the Legislature be fur
nished with at least two copies, was
tabled until Thursday on motion Of
Winter of Auburn.
The committee on Public Utilities
reported ought not to pass on the
act granting jurisdiction to the Pub
lie Utilities Commission over motor
vehicles.
The committee on public health re-
ported ought to pass on the bill to
prevent the marriage of persons af-
fected with syphilis. Phillips of Bar
Harbor, who introduced the measure
announced that he would speak on
that subject at the session of the
House on Thursday.
The committee on public health re-
ported ought to pass on the resolve
in favor of the State Health Depart
ment, but the report was, tabled on
motion of Rounds of Portland.
Rounds later had it taken from the
table. and moved that it be indefi-
nitely postponed. He stated that the
increase in salaries alone amounted
to $4,000 and claimed that the time
was not opportune for making any
big increases in salaries. 1t costs less
to live now than during the war and
there are many other demands for
increases of wages in other depart
ments.
Holley of North Arson inquired
through the Chair if this bill was the
same that public hearing was held
on in the Senate chamber on Tues
day.
Snipe of Bath answered that it
was.
Smith of Skowhegan then moved
that the bill be tabled until Thursday
and it was so voted.
A number of remonstrances against
the Barwise Sunday bill were read.
The appointment of Mary w. Boil
ton of Houlton as special messenger
was announced by Speaker Barnes.
Crabtree Of Island Falls moved
that 300 copies of bill relating to pay
ment of fire wardens by municipah-
ties be printed.

A Zeal Hit Coming to the Opera
House

Every year finds New York with
its greatest love story, its greatest
melodroma, it's greatest comedy
etc, but it takes a real author to
combine all of these distinctions
and yet have success but that is
just what Frederic and Fanny Hat
ton did when they wrote lombard.
Ltd, which is to be presented at
the Opera House on Monday eve
ming, Feb. DIST by the Chicago
Stock Company.
This unusual play has its love in
terest centered in two or three
couples in the cast. The scenes are
laid in a dressmaking establishment
which becomes a little romantic
world wherein clerks. models, shop
girls, and the proprietor all fall in
love with one another. Incidental
ly, it corrects some popular-wrong
conceptions as to what goes on be-
hind the doors in great courier
iers establishment.
The comedy in the play is great
In fact when the play was present
ed in New York the author count
ed every laugh from the audience
and the grand total was 61O.
There is a touch of drama and a
vast display of gowns and to one
who enjoys Il real evenings enter
tainment we would suggest order
ing seats early for the Opera House
for Monday evening.-Adv.
