"Three Live Costs"

A wave of excitement recently agi tated the busiest thoroughfare of Lon. don when burly policeman held up the traffic to allow the passage of an aristocratic-looking gentlemen immac- ulately tailored wheeling baby car riages, to which was attached a sheep which showed an obvious disinclina- tion to cross the road
 Absorbed and quite unperturbed by the amazement caused by his unherald- ed arrival, the gentleman steered his charge to the opposite side of the walk, and by the time the crowd had recovered from its astonishement, he had apparently vanished into thin air.
 At the same moment two cameras which had been taking a record of this unusual scene from the inside of a covered motor lorry ceased to grind, and George FiZmaurice, famous Para mount producer congratulated himself on having successfully secured par ticularly effective and difficult shot
 The episode showed Cyril Chadwick in his impersonation of "Spoofy" in Three Live Ghdsts," a Paramount picture which will be shown at the Eagle theatre Friday and Saturday and at the Central theatre next Sunday.

"Rent Free"

In these days of high rents and profiteering landlords, Rent Free" a new Paramount picture starring Wal lace Reid which was shown at the Eagle theatre last night, starts an aud fence off with a happy thought and succeeds in keeping them laughing to the final fade-Out.
 There is lively plot and plenty oi action, a good deal of which supposed ly takes place on the roofs of two New York rooming houses. Wallace Reid plays the young artist who shuf- fles for himself rather than study law in his fathers office. To get the bet ter of the rent problem, he moves up himself in a house, the owners of il are away. There he finds myster ious note about will, which is un covered in the end of the story and awards the girl, whom he has met ir the meantime, also a roof dweller, the home and estate of which she has been defrauded by her unscrupulou: stepmother.
 Lila Lee plays the role of the girl and Henry Barrows, Gertrude Short Lillian Leighton, Clarence Geldart Claire Mcdowell and Lucien Little field are excellent in the portrayals.

of the most beautiful girl in the world beckoned.
 Like a modern D'Artagnan, reckless and romantic, finding nothing an ,n- surmountable obstacle his path as he makes his daring and flashing campaign for a woman's heart and hand-that is the new role in which tens of thousSnds of Mix admirers will greet their favorite today at the Lyric theatre, when "The Rough Dia- mond' will be the feature attraction. Called upon to abandon his famous and familiar cowboy outfit. away from plains and ranches, exchanging them all, with the exception of his horse Tony, for ships and shoes and pallS and revolutions, Mix makes the tran sition with an ease and power that proclaim him finished and singular ly versatile actor. Never before did Mix have an opportunity to play on the emotions such as he has in this production and he takes full advan- tage of it--makeS one laugh or thrill, tighten teeth during tense moments or open them with smile at his dash and daring-all in manner that not only brings acclaim for powers hith erto unsuspected, but a realization that now and hereafter one may eX pect anything of Tom Mix in the his trionic line.

 But love woh has followed him beckon him home again where he finds hap piness and the love he had ignored.
