KATHERINE M'DoNALD IN
 "THE BEAUTIFUL LIARv

"The BeautituI Iiar, Starring Katherine Macdonald at the Trianon this week, is picturesque love story centered about the experiences of q beautiful girl at summer hotel. The girl, Helen Hayne, enacted by Kathe- rine Macdonald, tired little stenog- rapher who hos seen little of pleasure and still less of luxury, is persuaded to impersonate famous stage star at summer hotel. The venture is to advertise the hotel and it is done without the consent of the actress. The outcome makes a drama that Is full of suspense and considerable deli- cate humor.
 An additional attraction is Mack Sennett comedy, By Heck"

Malta Postmaster "Rocked"

Sounds sensational perhaps, but
the popular postmaster F. c. Thomas
was not rocked" by an ordinary
mob, nor with common every day
rocks such as we used to caress our
martyrs with, but he was rocked by
a mob of rural carriers and the i'm
lplement was a fine leather reclin-
ling rocker.
On last Thursday night Postmas-
tier Thomas feeling somewhat de-
pressed and realizing all at once
THAT things were unusually quiet
glanced back to see why and where
fore. Behold-every carrier was
gone with never word to him and
the office left in total darkness.
Thinking he would not be out done
he decided he too would take an
early sneak homeward, to bath and
to bed and perhaps feel better next
day. Wife met him at the door as
usual with a smile-and someway.
he felt it was an unusual one. He
passed through the hall and inciden-
tally glancing in the room saw
McIntire, Nixon and Peck in ?
possession as if they owned
the place. A glance into the din
ing room and he saw the table nice
ly decorated with a handsome fruit
and nut center piece. "a feast"
though he, all gladstone and glow
ing. Then he went in to greet his
carriers who seemed engaged in
guarding an elephant. 1.-THE boys
are going to initiate me into the
secrets of the G. o. P" thought he,
but just then Mr.. Nixon arose and
with few remarks expressing the
regard the carriers and all associat-
ed in the office entertain for the
postmaster. mentioned a rocker and
at the psychological moment the
wrappings were removed and the ell
ephant stood revealed-a fine leath-
er reclining chair. The postmaster
was rendered almost speechless but
succeeded in making the boys un-
derstand that he not only appreciat-
ed the fine chair but still more he
appreciated the great big hearts that
had So warmed toward him as to
prompt such a gift. Mrs. Thomas
served light lunch and the presen-
tation event was in every way hap
py one.
