There may be better actors on the
screen than Henry B. Walthall. who
has the leading role in the Fox Spe-
cia1, THE Face on the Barroom
Floor" which is playing at the Dit
mas theatre all this week, but at
the moment of going to press. no
one has been able to suggest any.
Oh, there are prettier leading men
without a doubt, and there are those
who are far better acrobats; and
there are those who dance better;
and, it has even been asserted, there
are some who wear what-the-well-
dressed-man-Will-wear to better adj
vantage. But when it comes to act
ing, there just simply aren't any bet
ter.
Walthall has made a great reputa-
ton on the stage and was under con-
tract to appear with Henry Miller in

crown with her performance of the
wife who is more sinned against than
SHINING in 1.-THE Wife Trap" which
will be presented at the Majestic
Theatre. for one day, tomorrow.
Miss May has an entirely different
role in this picture, one which will
elevate her to a high position among
the players of the screen. As the
wife whom her Jealous husband sub
jects to several cruel tests, she will
undoubtedly win the sympathy of all
women and the admiration of all
mcn. And the n in which she
works Out her own destiny in order
that her child may face the future
with courage and respect, provides
a thrill rivalled only by the ever
famous Madame X"
The courtroom scene, in which the
hapless woman unfolds her dramatic
story is claimed to be one of the
most thrilling witnessed in years
and the announcement, which serves
to justify the murder, is quite
unique.
Lavishly invested, %splendidly in

The police have learned that the
hold-up men had laid plans for the
visit to the pawnshop. With them
at the time they had at least one re-
volver, a supply of bullets, a lead
pipe, rope, handkerchiefs and other
paraphernalia. All of this has been
taken to police headquarters. The
fact that Perlmuter put up a stiff
fight, upset the plans of the hold
up men. The shop owner is in the
local hospital suffering from wounds
on the head, face and hands receiv-
ed in the battle with the holdup
men. He was hit several times with
the pipe which was covered with
