Collecting Three Meals

ne collects depends partly on his personal taste
but chiefly on his economic condition. great

three meals day to bother with anything else
But the moment man begins to pull q little

they never look beyond the necessaries Of life,

collecting was undoubtedly a cruel and lust

OF our Western plains whose scalp collections
were the envy of his fellows and who counted
that day lost which did not see some freshly
plueked toupee dangling from his belt. In

theater today and Monday.
As enthralling picture as has beer
seen in long time is "Uncharted

to the Alcazar theater this week. Alice
Lake, known wherever pictures are en-
joyed, has the leading role, and gives
a dramatic Interpretation unexcelled
for beauty and force. according to re
ports from critics who have seen this
picture elsewhere. 1t is 'enthrallng'
because Of its unusual plot and the
method Of working out the situations Is
consummate. Briefly, the story deals
with Lucretia Eastman, whose husband
is moral derelct, addicted to opium
and loose women. Lucretia's cup Of
disgust brims over at last, but Tom s
father entreats her to give him one
last chance. The test is the finding of

Tom Mix Proves

Tom Mix. the Fox star, is master
at many different kinds of sports and

prowess which he never has used in a

an opportunity to display his skill on
the steel runners on the screen.
The star recently won first prize
at an ice carnival in Truckee, Cali

to an exhibition Of plain and fancy
skating. Mix had put up $50 to go

LIBERTY

The story of The Sky Pilot show
ing Monday and Tuesday at the Liberty
theater, deals with a young minister
who is sent into the Canadian ranch
belt to spread the gospel among the
cowboys His trials and tribulations,
his faith, his hope are masterfully in
terpreted by John Bowers, who plays
the title role. How the pilot, unpop-
ular at first, wins a place for himself
in the hearts Of the cowboys, who sur
prise him on Christmas morning by
covered trail to show him the little
frame church they have built without
his knowledge, forms the human note
of the story, which is featured by sew
eral smashing dramatic scenes.
The difficulties .of an educated and
refined woman trying to exc out an
honorable living in Shanghai are strik-
ingly shown in Alice Brady's latest
photoplay, Dawn of the East" which
will be shown at the Liberty theater
today only. Natalya, the heroine. is a
Russian noblewoman, who. with others
Of her class, is forced to flee when
the revolution breaks out in her coun-
try. With other refugees she makes
plains and finally arrives in China,
hoping to get to America from there
But she is penniless, and she finds that
in the ancient Chinese city there is
neither work nor charity for women
Her culture and education are Of no
commercial value in obtaining work and
the only thing she can find to do is to
sing nightly in notorious cafe, much
frequented by European travellers. Her
daring coup to escape from China to
America and her subsequent difficult
ties with a willy Oriental villain who
follows and blackmails her make a
tense drama Of unusual interest.
Rupert Hughes has hit the bullseye
of fun again with his new Goldwyn
photocomedy, "Come On Over" which
will be shown at the Liberty theater
next Friday. It is a companion piece,
for it's comedy, to Scratch My Back, :"
and it's characters are as human and
1ovabls as those in his other master
piece, '.The Old Nest" Its comedy is
wholesome and persuasive and infec-
.tious and through its course flows a
vein Of Irish wit that only Mr.
Hughes has been able to sbring to the
screen IN all its delight1ulness. Its
story is SIMPLE, but has the freshness

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
COMING HERE SOON,
STRONG IN REALITY
Frank McGlynn Portrays As.
sassinated President as He
Was Best Known.

| John Drinkwater's Abraham Lin
coln," which will come to Great Falls
| this summer, is now on its way west
| having started an engagement in Co
| lumbus. Ohio, "a few days ago. The
| dramatic critic Of the Columbus Dis
patch says the play is being enthusi-
astically received there and that it is
play that has earned a place high
among the annals of the English STAGE
The Dispatch continues:
after seeing Lincoln. with the title
part played by Frank McGlynn, we can
| not escape the impression that we have
not seen an actor merely, in the action
Of the play, but Lincoln himself. We
understand that the same feeling is
entertained also by those who have
seen and known Lincoln. So truly has
Mr.. Drinkwater caught the spirit of
the man and his times: so correct is
the atmosphere and SO eminently we'll
studied is makeup and manner in the
chief enactment that we seem to have
gone back 81 years and actually fol-
lowed the great president from his first
nomination to his death.
Touches Heart of World
1T Is, of course, strange that over
20 plays should have been written
about Lincoln and that only one, anc
that by an Englishman, should have
reached and deeply touched the heart
of the world. But it has and one rea-
son for it is the fact that Mr.. Drink
water made known when he lectured
here: that England does not remember
Lincoln so much as the man who freed
the slaves, but as man who, after
arriving at place ox power from
humble birth, held steadfastly to the
friendships which had given him his
start in the world. We find this love
of humanity strong in the neighborly
atmosphere of the notification scene in
his own home; in the cabinet room
where he strongly adheres to his course
for humanty's good. il the face of op-
position: in White House room
where he consoles bereaved mother
and castigates virulent partisan: and
in the army headquarters of Grant at
Appomattox. where he pleads for
mercy to the vanquished and in which
he pardons the young soldier who had
gone to sleep at his post. after
forced march and voluntary double
watch.
Episodical In Form
"The play is episodical in form and
connected only by the voice of the
chronicler We could have wished,
by the way. for more feeling reci-
tation of some Of these lines and for
a special emphasis now and then. as
for example in that fine quatrain.
