"CAPPY nICKS,, WITH THOMAS MEIGHAN AT STRAND

Thomas Meighan has for his latest vehicle "Cappy Ricks," very spirited sea story. "Cappy Kicks" is the Strand attraction for the week. This delightful photoplay is filled to the brim with breezy humor and in gen. erai the freshness that would nat urally go with comedy of the sea providing 1t was good, which "Cappy Kicks" certainly is.
 This Meighan appearance Is in a picture adapted from a story that has been a success both in fiction and on the stage. It must be more enter taining as it is here on the screen for there are numerous scenes, such as fights along the waterfront. on the ship, and even up and down a build ing that could hardly be so we'll pre- sented as In picture form. The water front of San Francisco Is the real thing and shows some interesting sights. The water and the pictur- esque merchant ship are also a pleas- ing feature.
 "Cappy Kicks" is an amusing tale of one Matt Teasley. fifth of that name in the seafaring Teasley fam fly to be claimed by the sea. Teasley, enacted by Meighan with attractive good humor. happens to be on ship at the time of the death of the cap tain when he should naturally sue ceed. But things pull against him at headquarters and he is not recog nized, Teasleys manly and amusing fight with the redoubtable Cappy Kicks. manager of the whole ship line, whom he defies by assuming command whether or not. takes the rest of the story and wins the hu morous interest of the spectator. Topics of the day are shown with the feature,

ANITA STEWART AT TRIANON IN STIRRING DRAMA

The first incidents of "The Invisi- ble Fear" are very naturally being a most human outcome of the inno- cent filtration of a girl whose mar riage is even then announced. These incidents occur In g lodge in the country where the girl, played by Anita Stewart, and a disappointed sweetheart have been driven during a paper chase by big rain. Here Walter McGrail, 8 rather prepossess- ing villain, gives a natural portrayal of the role of the disappointed suitor, who has not sufficient strength Of character to resist temptation. but is not an altogether inhuman character.
 These first scenes result in the tragedy that throws haunting ter TOT over the life of the young wife of the remaining scenes. Something of the terror of the dream attends this later part of the story, where the wife lives under this fear. There is much mystery, but tn,s mystery and terror is made to have a certain ap- peal by the great loyalty and love of the husband, who finally is the one who works to remove the shadow that hangs over his beautiful wife.
 First and last, The Invisible Fear is very entertaining picture. There is evidence of great care as to small detail in the arran&ing of the scenes and close-b bps, and the effects are much more than usually elaborate in eeffct. Anita Stewart is sweet and pretty as the girl and later the wife. She Is supported by striking actor and Walter McGrail makes the nat urai. human william people are com ing to expect

BRIEF
 ID BE SUBMITTED

Washington, October 1o.-(Special. ) Hoke Smith, former senator from Georgia, has prepared a brief for the Southern Newspaper Publishers asso- ciation, which will be submitted to the bureau of internal revenue, con tending that money paid out of sur plus by newspapers in building cir culation should be/allowed as a part of invested capital.
 Says the brief in part: "Our con tention Is that the money spent by newspapers to build circulation, whether taken from their original capital subscriptions or from sur plus earnings. is definite invest ment, and that those publishers who have charged 1t to expense accounts should have the right to change 1t to investment accounts, and tha. such investment accounts should be recognized as invested capital.
 This Is 2 question upon which the bureau has never passed. It Is of the utmost importance to newspaper publishers. We urge our views with the greatest confidence."
 The brief says that 1t Is conceded by publishers that it costs from 50 to 100 per cent of the amount of the subscription price for one year to build circulation.

Analysis of the rather astonishing success of Fritz Leiber and the sup porting company, coming to the Jeff fcrson theatre Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday nlati- nee in a repetoire of the plays of Shakespeare. shows that this popu- larity Is due chiefly to the fact that the plays have heen humanized and made more moving and understand able to the average theatre patron.

 Washington, October 10.--(Speciai.) An advertising revival as means toward business improvement that would solve the unemployment prob lem was suggested in a letter trans mitted to President Harding's unem- ~ployment conference through Secre- tary of Labor James J. Davis, from William H. Rankin. president of the William H. Rankin company of New York and Chicago. Mir. Rankin pro- posed the initiation of buying movement through advertising that will stimulated the whole business fabric of the nation, and suggested that the conference call upon men familiar with advertising and its possibilities to develop this sugges- ton.
 MT. Rankin pointed out the vast results obtained throughout the war period by advertising campaigns di- rected toward solving the problems which confronted the government, and said:
 T believe advertising can help just as much in this unemployment prob lem as it did in any of the cam paigns exploited during the war, and that is particularly true in regard to the matter of price reduction.
 T happen to know that the con- cerns that led the way in price re- duction are today six months ahead of those who have not and l also know that price reduction has stimu- lated buying and that advertising Is the only way to let people know where they can now buy goods at pre-war prices and on a basis where the long margin of profit has been cut down to a fair margin.
 T believe advertising may be used rot only to convince the public that they should buy products that are now being advertised at fair price, but can also be used to convince the manufacturers that they should not cnly reduce their prices but use ad- vtrtising space to let the public know ina 1nm Is the time 10 huY."

F. K. LINCOLN IN 1.-THE
 INNER VOICE." AT ALCAZAR

E. K Lincoln has given the screen a number of startling characteriza- tions. In "The Inner Voice" he has one of the most difficult roles to play that he has ever had. His role in this production is especially dif- ficult for the reason that he must present man whose character un- dergoes almost complete transfor- nation within the time of the story.
 For. The Inner Voice" is tho story of han stirred by passions and emotions. that in. the end he finds to be moro full of suffering than of satisfaction. These emotions are the love of money. power and a desire for revenge.
 This strong type of. F. K. Lincoin's fits well with the story of the man who gets power. money and revenge and finds them a mockery. In his palatial home of rich eiaborateness sits the man of strength, his hair turned iron gray over a youthful face from the strength of his feel ings. Lincoln Is an imposing figure as this man, and the producers have heaped up fabulous sums to show this home of uncomfortable wealth.
 This man sits realizing the mock
