There were strange sounds at night. A black cat made the house his head quarters and a shadowy figure floated through the halls at night There is mystery in this story and climax that will fairly make your hair stand on end, and through it all there is a vein of comedy that will make your sides ache from laughter. The name of the picture is At the Sign of the Jack O'Lantern." It is coming to the Central theatre Friday and Saturday and Eagle theatre next Sunday.

"Tropical Love"

If you have ever stood in front of a steamship office window with longing gaze glued on pamphlets of Winter Cruises, you will not miss Tropical Love-" the Playgoers feature in which Ruth Clifford is starred at the Lyric theatre Saturday.
 Porto Rico is there with all it's beau ty of palm-fringed sea beach; it's sug- ar plantations; it's native huts of grass; it's beautiful city of San Juan. These are a background for fascin- ating story combining charmingly sweet romance, care-free adventure, and a mysterious search.

"Theodora"

For nearly fourteen centuries, his torians have disagreed as to just whether or not the great Empress Theodora was a wicked woman. All agree that even though she was a bad bad woman, she was very good com pany. In the great Italian screen spectacle, "Theodora," which Gold wyn presents at the Lyric theatre Fri day, the famous dramatist, Victorien Sardou presents a Theodora who is very much of a lady. True, the early scenes of the screen drama show her as a daughter of pleasure on the ls- land of Cyprus, flirting with the young Prince who, afterwards be- comes the emperor of the Roman Elm pire; but the best historical authori- ties agree that after Theodora be- came a wife and an empress; she cut out the wild follies of her early youth and except for one unfortunate love affair, which forms the basis of the big screen drama which Goldwyn pre- sents. she was an irreproachable wife and empress.

"Too Wise Wives"

"Men. are four," says an ancient Arabian proverb. He who knows. and knows he. knows-her is wise, fol low him. He who knows, and knows not he knows-he is asleep, wake him He who knows not, and knows not he knows not-he is fool, shun him. He who knows not, and knows he knows not-he is child, teach him.
 In the Lois Weber production, "The Wise Wives" which comes to the Eagle theatre Friday and Saturday, and Central theatre next Sunday, the husbands fall into the second and fourth classification. They need to be awakened and to be taught. But their enlightenment is accompanied also by an awakening on the part of their wives. This is photoplay staged with consummate artistry Au- thor director and producer accustom' ed to life in the highest social circles Lois Weber knows and knows she knows" Follow her.

 portant Link in Case.
