got that the war was over and that
her place was at the side of her hus-
band and by her son and daughter.
Mother starts on a six months lecture
tour and during her absence, Sylvia
becomes the widest flapper in New
York, the son becomes also wild, but
is tanned when he marries a sensible
working girl Mrs. Fairs husband
also does some exploring himself as
he becomes a regular visitor at a
certain "ducky apartment.
The famous Mrs. Fair returns to
New York to discover that her home
has been badly bent If not wrecked.
Sylvia becomes wilder and wilder by
attempting an elopement with an i'm
possible lounge tramp. That wakes the
family up and Mrs. Fair decides that
the best mother is the one who re
mains at home and runs her own
household instead Of running all over
the country to enlighten the world.
On the stage, THE Famous Mrs.
Fair was one of the smartest come
dies of its year. Fred Niblo's movie
production of this stage success is a
masterpiece. Here we see the theme
naturally ana powerfully ueNeiOpeu.
Here we find real acting. especially
the work done by Myrtle Stedman as
the mother, Marguerite De LaMotte
as the daughter and Cullen Lands as
the son. Carmel Myers is the keeper
OF the "ducky apartment where
father sowed his midnight wild oats.
Here is a real cast and real story.
If you like the better things on the
stage and screen, then do not fail to
see THE Famous Mrs. Fair" at the
Ohio this week. It is a real delight.
Don't miss it. And it carries a whale
of a lesson along with it.
The bill includes the regular short
subjects and some tantalizing music

- This play is far above the average

Director Does Great Work
in Filming TarkingtOn's Latest

The director of "Penrod and Sam, -
a new Booth Harrington movie, de
serves tons Of praise for his work.
He seems to catch the spirit of
Harrington and photographs it with
telling effect.
Personally, it is my impression that
"Penrod and Sam" has been more
wisely and humanity adapted to the
screen than any of this writer
stories.
The act has been wisely chosen
Harrington is a writer of types and
human situations. 1t takes real hui

Sen tence
Executedby
Gun Squad
Monsignor Butchkavitch, Vic
ar General in Russia. Pays
With Life for Opposing
Red Government.
Protests Are Disregarded

Moscow. April 3.-MOnsignor Con
stantine Butchkavitch. vicar general
Of the Roman Catholic church in Rus
sia. condemned TO death for wilfuiiy
opposing the soviet government, has
been executed by firing squad.
The fate of the preIate, in doubt
since last Thursday, when his appeal
for clemency was denied, became
known today when il was announced
tnat the death sentence had been car
ried out last Saturday.
The secrecy that surrounds soviet
executions makes uncertain the Gil
cumstanees under which the sentence
was carried out but it seems probable
that Monsignor Butchkavitch was put
to death in the Moscow prison for the
condemned, to which he was removed
after a reprieve was granted.
Appeals from the outside word
which had poured in upon the soviet
authorities had no effect in staying
the hand of their executioners. Com
petent opinion. indeed. is that even
the breaking of diplomatic relations
by outside governments or a threat Of
war would not have moved the Mos
COW officials from their course. Their
last word in the case had been
spoken, It appears, when they com
muted TO 10 years Imprisonment the
death sentence upon Archbishop Zeis-
/ LAX. convicted at the same time as
! fNiesr-General Bstchkavitch. Protests
from all parts OF the world were made
/ against the execution OF the death
setnece. the American government
joining in the appeals for clemency.
Protested by United States.
The protest OF the American State
department was based on humsrita-
ran grounds and set for the earnest
hope" that the life Of the vicar gen
eral might be spared.
Monsignor Butchkaviteh was father
superior OF the Church of ST. Cath
crime in Petrograd. He held the title
os preIate to his holiness, granted by
the pope for special services. He
was 55 years old. He came from an
old and wealthy family OF Polish orr
! gin. although he was Russian citi-
zen. He was a conspicuous figure in
the trial of the Catholic prelates ano
priests at which he appeared bald
headed. rosy faced and bespectacied.
and he bore himself with marked
serenity throughout that ordeal. which
resulted in death sentences for him
