.NLoTHER o, NINE.

A story OF the world and its peo-
pie is Mother o. Nine" the offering
which the Queen Theatre has Sc
lected as the feature for next week.
Its age-old theme Of mother love
is ever-new. In this instance II has
been strikingly presented in a photo
play that will be indelibly stamped
upon the memory Of every specta-
tor who will view Il next week. Mere
words fan short in a just descrip-
tion OF Mother o. Mine" The plain
tive, inspires poem from the heart
of the famous Rudyard Kipling is
the incentive toward the production
OF the photoplay. Here Is one verse
of poem:
II we're hanged on the highest hill
I know whose love would follow me
Mother o. Mine. Mother o. Mine.
The characters Of the story are a
mother and her only son. two show
girls and the renegade father and
husband. The story that sets forth
the relations of these chief charac-
ters is tense with emotional drama
and with thrills. When the climax
OF the picture comes the spectator is
moved from the heart by the realism
with which the mother in final ef-
fort to save her boy convicted un-
Justly Of crime, risks death and
worse things.
Lloyd Hughes who has been play
ing at the Majestic in Beau Revel
plays the son in Mother o. Nine
Claire Mcdowell well-remembered
for her work in Something 70 Think
About" and Midsummer Madness
is the mother.

Ar THE ARCADIA

In beauty, expenditure and Law
ishness. Buried Treasurer" starring
Marion Davies and shown yesterday
for the first time at the Arcadia
holds an important place among
other films.
Marion Davies plays dual role
she is both blond and brunette And
the role has emotional range which
she fills to perfection. Her simplicity
in one scene is supplanted by her
engaging vivacity
Though Buried Treasure" will be
deemed fanciful as a story by the
skeptical. its basic scheme Of rein
carnation has many followers, and
these accept the tale as entirely
plausible. Those who do not believe
It, will. however find good enter
tainment in viewing il.
"Scrappny Married" a Christie
comedy proved a good added fea-
ture.

Savoy Theatre today and tomorrow.
Rarely has a picture produced more
profound interest than 1.-THE Scarab
Ring. The story which is one that
can happen in everyday life, is
filled with intense suspense and mys-
terry and makes the spectator so far
forget oneself as to actually feel
that they are living within the plav.
One can almost feel that they are
being grilled by the district attor-
ney in the photoplay and the final

The homo Of the Soul

In olden times, it was believed that
the seat of the soul was the stomach,
most likely for the reason that q man
is never so completely used up as when
his stomach is out Of order. For the
cure Of ordinary stomach troubles,
there is nothing quite so prompt and
satisfactory as Cha:nberlain's Tablets.
They strengthen the stomach and en-
able il to perform its functions natur-
ally. Give them a trial. They only
cost q quarter.

Language of the Flag
{ By Robert c. Winthropl

NDy NUUsII Y. W tHlHIupI
Behold it, Listen TO it," is the
command of Robere C. Winthrop.
Every star has tongue; every stripe
is articulate. There is magic in the
web of it. 1t has an answer for every
question of duty. It has a solution
for every doubt and perplexity. 1t
has a word of good cheer for every
hour of gloom or dependency.
1T speaks of earlier and later strug-
giles. 1t speaks ofvictories, and some
times of reverses, on the sea and on
the land. 1t speaks of patriots and
heroes among the living and the dead.
But before all and above AL other
associations and memories, whether of
glorious deeds, or glorious places, its
voice is ever of the Constitution and
the Laws, of Union and Liberty
