ADVENTUREOF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

"sh! sh!" whispered all the little
Glooms to Nancy and Nick. "Old
Cross Patch lives over yonder be-
hind hedge of nettles, a thicket of
smartweed and jungle of thistles.
That's why we can't get at him to
get his bad old magic stick away
from him."
"Oh, that's nothing!" scoffcd
Nancy. 1--WE have magic shoes that
can take us anywhere. Haven't we,
Mister Sky Bow?' And she turned
to the kind fairyman who had
brought them to Wet Blanket Town.
"Sure they have!" nodded Mister
Sky Bow. They're the finest magic
shoes the Fairy Queen had in her
magic shoe house and the Twins
wear 'em everywhere. They can get
over all the thistles in Christendom."
"Good!" said all the little Glooms
gloomily, for being so gloomy they
couldn't talk any other way. "Thep
come! Wen take you as near to the
place as we can get. About this
time each day old Cross Patch eats
his dessert out in mis- garden. He
eats dozen bananas so he'll get in
digestion and when he gets indiges-
ton could bite Q nail in two. And
he loves to be cross SO he does"
"And he likes to make everybody
around him cross and miserable, too, /"
declared Nick. "It's time we were
getting his magic stick"

AT THE CAPITOL

Masters of Men," by Morgan Rob-
ertson, the worlds most noted writer
of sea stories, is to be shown at the
Capitol Theatre tonight and Tuesday.
Critics have unanimously acclaimed
this picture as the greatest sea story
ever screened. The perturbation by
c. Graham Baker has retained Loyalty
the atmosphere of the novel by Amer
ica's master teller of sea stories and
Vitagraph, who offers it, has provided
lavish production, with an all star
cast.
Masters of Men" tells the story of
an American boy who accepted the
shame of another's crime that he
might protect the girl he loved from
humiliation. Branded in his home
town as a thief the lad runs away
and joins the United States Navy.
While on leave he is shanghaied and
suffers the brutality accorded to men
before the mast on board a four mas
ter sailing the Spanish Main. How he
effects his escape and aids in the
destruction of the Spanish fleet at
Santiago provides a thrilling drama
which holds interest throughout
every foot of the screening.
There are four principal parts, as
the story involves the love affairs Of
four young people. Earle Williams,
one of the most popular stars of the
screen, plays Lieutenant Breen, the
officer who assists Dick Halpin
(played by Cullen Landis) to win
back honor and manhood. Pretty
Alice Calhoun who has been starred
in many VitaEraph productions and
Wanda Hawley, long a popular star,
play the chief women's roles.
It is picture of types and of vivid
realism. The selection of types is
said to have been perfect, particular
~ of those actors who play the brut-
al, hard fighting men who comprise
the crew of the "Mary Earl. Dick
Sutherland and Jack Curtis. who
play the mate and captain of the four
master. are known to fans as the
most brutal looking actors in motion
pictures. They give realism to Nor
gan Robertson's description of the
brutes who made life hell for men
before the mast.
masters of Men" should provide
excellent entertainment at the Cap
itol theatre.
