ADJUSTMENTS
Alice Joyce In
"The Inner Chamber"

Excellent in every particular is the
claim which Vitagraph makes for
THE Inner Chamber" which comes
to the Colonial today, and the picture
certainly lives UP to the claim. IL
is not boasting to say that in this
production, star. cast, direction, story
and photography are all as near per-
| lection as is humanity possible. The
! Inner Chamber" comes little short Of
| being a masterpiece.
Alice Joyce, who plays the star
role, has never appeared to better
! advantage than she does in the part
/ of Claire Robson, the girl whose pref
| tiness causes her to lose every posi-
| ton that she secures because all her
| EMPLOYERS fall in love with her. Miss
| Joyce assumes the role OF the unfor-
| tunate working girl with an appeal
| ing grace and naturalness that bring
out all the pathos in the sympathetic
| figure.
! Most producers would label the dis
tinguished company of players which
| supports Miss Joyce as an all-star
cast. Actually there are two male
| leads. The famous Pedro de Cordoba
and the old favorite, Holmes E. Her
/ bert, as the rival lovers OF the hero
| inc, vie with each other for first hon.
| ors The cast also includes such
well-known actors as John Webb Dill
lon, Mrs De Wolf Hopper, Grace Bar
! ton and Ida Waterman.
And all the other clements Of a
great picture are found in The In
ner Chamber" The photography is
superb. the sets and backgrounds are
lavish and sumptuous, and the ex-
terror scenes are beautiful in the ex-
! IRENE.
The Hall Room Boys in a sparkling
comedy A Dull Romance" will fur
nish lots of fun, and the Pathe News
and the Burton Holmes travel picture
will round out a pretty nifty program
at the Colonial for today.-Adv.

Maine, because of its many and
varied industries, presents a large
field for such endeavors. The educa-
tional department plans to give every
industrial center an opportunity for
some form of vocational schools.
Recognizing the fact that industry
will receive a great deal of the bene-
fits derived from educating employees
in the different callings in trade, the
society feels justified in asking the
cooperation Of industry in this
work.

Horticulturist Frank FL. Dudley,
that mice have already started TO
eat the bark of the apple trees of
this State. Great injury can be done
by these small pests in the apple or
chard. Strips Of tarred paper or wire
screen IS inches high should be
wound around the tree and tied to
keep in place. The protectors should
be sunk into the ground about three
quarters of an inch if possible, to
keep the mice from going under. If
the wire screens are used, they may
be left on all summer. but if the
tarred paper is used it should be
taken off in the spring"
