Triple Tragedy When Alaskan Finds Wife
 Married to Brother

Portland, Mich. - When William Hughes came back from Alaska he found his wife had divorced him and had married his brother David.
 Today David Hughes is dead and q daughter Gertrude, is near death. Both were shot by William, who, thinking he had killed his former wife when he wounded Gertrude committed suicide. How William made his home with his brother and his former wife, plotting for weeks how he would k1ll them all was revealed by the tragedy which took place late last night.
 When William came home last ht he found his brother and his former wife waiting for him. William in 6 rage shouted: sI am going to kill the whole family I've waited weeks for this chance to get even for what you two did to me while was away"
 He rushed into his bedroom and re- turned with gun. Ills brother reached for it, but William pulled the trigger.  David fell to the floor. Screaming, Mrs. Hughes and her daughter rushed from the house, pursued by William, who fired at the two women Tn the dark. The shot struck the daughter, while Hrs. Hughes escaped.
 Hughes turned the gun on himself. His body was found by the road this morning. Near by was a note which said: "Goodby. I had to do it. want David to have all have.-Will." 2"
 Hughes returned from Alaska about two months ago. his former wife said today. At the time. she said, he ex- hibited little feeling when told his wife had divorced him and married his brother David, who, she said. invited to come and live with them until he could get located.
 w llliam accepted David's invitation just so he could plan on murd ering us.'' she told the authorities. T think ne planned to polson us all but when he found my husband and me together he flew into jealous rage and resolved to end it all then ,

 AUDIENCE AT LOEWs

Five acts of vaudeville and a stir ring feature picture are being pre- sented at Loew's Bijou theatre for the first three days of the present week beginning yesterday.
 Of the vaudeville acts. Kerr and Ensign in an original idea entitled
 Fiddle Up" deserve first place on the bill. The act is put on by two clever artists, a man and a girl. who get off some original chatter aided py some clever violin accompani- ment.
 Second place on the program goes 10 the Downing and Lee Revue billed as an artistic display of originalities. The act contains some clever danc- ing and some good song numbers and IS enhanced by one of the male mem oers or the cast who gives good im- personation of a woman's voice. Good piano accompaniment adds to the act.
 Several goods song numbers and a harmonious blending of harmony feature Driscoll, Long and Hughes. three male songsters who put over their number with d dash and a vim that appealed to the audience.
 Harvard and Bruce, who open the oiH With an original gymnastic act which includes some good work on the swinging rings, got away to good start and received generous ap- plause. Manning and Hall. in ten minutes of nonsense billed as T Got a Lot put on by small man and a large woman, contained a number of good features.
 The usual reel of weekly news events and feature picture starring Edith Roberts under the title, "Lur- ing Lips" conclude the program

PAWOWA COMES TOMORROW NIGHT Great Artist to Present New est Dance Creations at
 the Jefferson

Madame Pavlowa, who is now be- ing received with great ovations wherever she appears on her present tour, will come to the Jefferson to- morrow night for one performance only. PAvlowa will present her new est dance creations, assisted by Q brilliant assemblage of graceful Rus sian ballet dancers and symphony or- chestra.
 Although little heretofore has been written about the private life of PaVloWa-her personality to the pub lie being utterly encompassed by her art-the few who know the dancer intimately not only worship her for the brilliancy of her mind and the greatness of her spirit but adore her for her simplicity, unselfishness, her whimsfcality and quaint humor. Troy Kinney, the sketch-artist, who knows Pavlo%a perhaps better than any other American, says of her:
 Madame has a conviction that she should always be a social and enter taining asset to those who surroupd her. Like all real artists, Pavlowa s pet aversion are all forms of so- called futlrstic art Yet she is so willing to help any one who is striv ing to attain, that last summer when she should have been resting. she, out of the kindness of her heat, posed for a young artist of the im- pressionistic school.
 "I met her one day and asked how h}s work was progressing. Kinney she replied with a sad little smile, T think he is trying to be original, "

strong and consistent in role which less capable artist might have made mere piece of ranting.
 The company, for the most part, contributed good support. Alfred Hickman was very effective as Esteban. whose love for his step- daughter wrecks his own life and brings ruin to a proud family. Bolh in stage appearance and in acting ability Mir. Hickman amply meets the requirements of this role. Miss Dor othy Ellin's husky voice and stiff ness mitigated against her in the part of Acadia. but she made the character interesting and in a phy- sical sense left nothing to be de- sired as the Passion Flower" How ard, Miller was weak as Norbert, but two good character studies were giv- en by Herbert Wilke as Tic Eusebio and Maud Durand as Juiianna. an old family servant. H. H. McCullum looked and acted Rubio with a far degree of realism.
 The Passion Flower" will be at the Jefferson this afternoon and to- night.

CONSTANCE TALMADGE IN "POLI.Y
 OF THE FoLLIEs"-TRIANo

Constance Talmadge makes q wholesome and charming little Polly in Polly of the Follies.n the Trianon feature this week. Constance seems to have just breathed in the spirit and the mirth of the girl from the little village who longed to do all of the big things she could not do, and whose ambition led her to the city to become one of the girls of the Fonies.
 Polly of the Follies" is story very rich in small incident and inter- esting and amusing episodes. It has no tremendous moments but merely the struggle upward of Polly and her final finding of herself in something she can do. The best thing about thI picture is the theme which will be thoroughly enjoyed by people who love to make a study of human ma ture.
 The idea that there are too many people in the world striving and pant ing after doing the brilliant things of which they are incapable, and dis daining the tasks awaiting them, underlies the story. Il is well brought out in interesting incidents and com versations in the life of Polly. The amusing case of the "Jones family and their struggle to do things is real screen literature.
 This is another appearance of Miss Talmadge with Kenneth Harlan, who has not been her leading man for some time. Many fans agree that no two actors on the screen suit so wonder fully as these two. and will be glad to see them coacting again. George Fawcett is cast in a humorous role and the whole cast Is exceptional A remarkable feature is that the entire beauty chorus of Ziegfield's Follies appear in this production.

Nance 0'NeiI Gives Vivid Performance in
 "The Passion FIoWer'

Nance O'Neii's ability as a emo tional actress has wide latitude in "The Passion Flower" the sombre drama of Spanish life, in which she appeared at the Jefferson theatre last night. The play is exotic to American audiences. The blood of Americans-at least we like to think so-is not as hot and turbu- lent as that of the Latin races. Only under Spanish or Italian skies could such love and hatred as are re- vealed in this play sway the hearts of men and women.
 The story is one that is impressive and dramatic, even if the theme ia the love of a mother and her daugh- ter for the same man, the husband of one and the step father of the other. Such fiery cross currents must lead to tragedy and bloodshed. There Is not much brightness Ill "The Passion Flower" It is drawn with vivid strokes and probes the depths of human frailty. An Amer ican playwright, by some houcus- pocus, might have contrived to give the conventional happy ending to such a story, but European drama lists have a keener appreciation of the artistic Verities and Benavente sweeps his characters on to the in evitable disaster which brings death and disgrace in it's train.
 "The Passion Flower" is rich in what may be termed for lack of q better word, atmosphere" It Is glowing hot with passion. as the title indicates, and is melodramatic in treatment, yet there is not d moment when it fails to be realistic and moving in its portrayal of con flicting emotions in bosoms that neither love nor hate in halfway fashion
 Miss O'Neil gave a finely conceived and executed impersonation of Raj munda, the wife and mother. She justly ranks as one of the greatest emotional stars of the modern stage. Her performance was exceptionally

CHATTING THE VANIP" WITH
 MARION DAVIES AT STRAND

Written about the pressing subject of the new and wilful generation and their revolt against restraint, "Vamping the Vamp." with Marion Davies. comes to picture fans as d comedy drama with a message.
 The story is lively and humorous. sentimental and romantic. but the underlying is the idea of the new young woman flapper with her jazz, tea dances, nervousness and eX- travagances, and how she shall bo dealt with by reyolting older gen eration.
 As she does happen to be dealt with in 'Vamping the Vamp". she proves a high explosive and the re- volting older generation are thank ful for a truce, which is where much of the fun and cleverness of the pie ture comes in.
 There are some beautiful photo graphic effects and, elahorately de- signed settings in this picture ar ranged by the noted scenic artist, Joseph Urban. The costumes. which are also the work of dr. Urban, arc a marvel to behold. The fact that the story occurs in the homes of wealth, and in a story of pleasure and luxury makes it possible for Mir. Urban to present the elaborate effects. The titles of the picture are not too numerous, and yet Are an important part of the humor of the production.
 Marion Davies and Forrest Stanley play the leading roles. Miss Davies blonde beauty is admirably suited 70 the idea Of the "vamp" who has come to believe that she is irresist- able and has modelled her life after that belief Mir. Stanley has a mas terful role as the young actor who assays to tame the "vamp."

LIONEL WEST IN PERSON AND
 DANGEROUS LOVEv ALCAZAR


 With the personal appearance of Lionel West in a special act a fea- ture drama, in which he appears, and a boxing match wherein he is shown in an exhibition with Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of the world, the Alcazar is offering a full and entertaining program this week. Mir West is a native Alabamian, an all around athlete and a football star, and aside from this he is an actor of marked ability
 In his personal appearance Mir West proves to be entertaining and pleasant. He tells number of jokes and anecdotes and his reson- ant voice carries his words all over the theatre most distinctly.
 His appearance is pleasing fea- ture and drew forth fine applause.
 The feature picture is Dangerous Love-" a story located in the west. but not a western in the accepted sense. This is a screen version of the popular novel, Ben Warmen, ,' by Charles E. Bartlett, and only the virile nature of the plot resembles the regular western drama. This virility is shown in thrilling episode, deep love and deep hate and jealousy, and in the fierce fights of men who are accustomed to country where a mans strength is tested to the utmost The love theme is one of fine sentiment.
 Aside from Lionel West. who is found in the heavy role, is Pete Nor rison who plays the love role with pretty Carol Halloway. The scenes are of beautiful western variety.
