This Week
PALACE

The selection of ~"Pollyanna" for the
Christmas week offering of the Adeline
Rumble Players at the Palace theater
is a happy one for the holiday season,
when the spirit of JOY and %gladness
rules the whole world. "Pollyanna. the
Glad Girl" is perhaps the most widely
known character of fiction in the Eng
lish speaking world, and her sunny dis
position, her spirit of %gladness has
helped many a respondent and unhappy
soul to behold brighter and better
things in their journey. through life.
Miss Muriel Owen will be seen in
the character Of Pollyanna, and anyone
who has seen Miss Ovens work with
the Adeline Rumble Players can testify
as to her ability to play the part. In
the first act she will be seen when
she first to make her home with
her Aunt Polly, a little freckled faced
girl of u years, coming directly from
the mission in the Ozarks; a f~riendless
little waif who has never had any but
second-h hand clothes, whose only play
mates have been the lady aiders" and
the church committee; who has never
owned a doll, and yet finds much tc
be glad for. In the second and third
acts Pollyanna gradually works her
way into the hearts of those around
her. Ihere Is no sorrow so deep, nc
disposition so grouchy, no pain SO real
but what they come under the cheering
influence of the glad girl. She makes
the invalids glad for what they haven't
got, and those more fortunate glad for
what they have. In the fourth and
last act, Miss Owen will show Polly
anna grown to young w~omanhood, but
still the glad girl, reaping the rich har-
vest that she has spent her childhood
sowing.
The character Of Jimmie Bean
the orphan boy that Pollyanna be-
friends, will be in the capable hands of
Lee G. Tyrrell. Miss Adeline Rumble
will have the important part of Aunt
Polly. and Howard Foster will be seen
as John Pendleton. Robert Thorn will
play the part Of DIR. Chiffon, while
Earl Elliott will be seen as Blocker.
Miss Leon Clark will have the best

part that she has had since joining the
company, that of Nancy, the Irish
serving maid at Aunt Polly's.
The several other characters in the
play will be in the hands Of the other
members Of the company, and other
players who have been engaged for
this production.
The two well known Characters" in
the book of "Sodom and Gomorra,"
the kitten and puppy, that Pollyanna
rescues from the ash heap and brings
as a present to her Aunt Polly, will
be seer in their babyhood in the first
two acts, and in the last as full grown
animals.
Special scenery is being painted for
the production, and nothing is being
overlooked to make it a holiday attrae-
ton that will live in the memory of
those who see it.

Musicaliy, satirically and humorously
"Our Nell" is a JOY in spots. We
might wish that DIN Rowland would
speed up his lines and cut some of his
business. But we cannot find it in
our hearts to ask for any actors or

"Our Nell" despite the wise way in
which Davidow and I1eAIaire produced

CAPITOL

"Nanook of the North which will
be shown at the Capitol today and
Monday, IS a true, living story of a
life that is stark and dramatic: a life
that is tragic to civilization but happy
and peaceful to the Eskimo, that Won
derful race that lives in the frozen
vastness at the top of the world. While
this film is a story of the life Of an
Eskimo family, in some subtle way it
unfolds a story full Of love and fidel-
ity; danger, thrills and suspense; hui
NOR and pathos, and great pictorial
beauty.
1.-THE Five Dollar Baby" Viola
Dana's newest characterization, which
will be. shown at the Capitol next Sat
urday and Sunday, is that of a miss
who has been adopted as a founding by
a pawnbroker, with whom she has been
left. She appears in the play first as
a tomboy of 13, causing havoc among
the children in New York's Ghetto,
where the story has its setting. Later,
she appears as a grown-up miss, with
her boarding school days behind her,
and she promptly falls in love. The
life Of the Ghetto is remarkably pic
tured in the ~photoplay. Harry Beau

troduced a number of types which pro-
vide much amusement.

the only effect OF an incoming
tide is to modify the wind, IL
one exists already, or to create

the valley is stagnant.
Prof. II. A. HaZen con-

with their number when the tide
was falling. And Abercromble
