CHAPTER VIII
The Chiefs Message

Sallie's disturbed reflections were in
terrupted by a light tapping on the
door and without waiting for her re-
ply Mrs. Copeland entered.
L came myself to tell you that
luncheon is served and that we have
another guest, Mr.. Bellows, who will
want to talk over this little PROPOSE
ton Of ours with you later. You may
be quite your natural self with him
for he has our utmost confidence"
So the attorney had been called In
when she raised the ante! He might
have prominent families for clients
and a big reputation to lose, as he
had reminded the others at that con-
ference the night before, but there
was something shady about him or
he would never have lent himself to
this scheme.
L s'pose, Mrs. Copeland, that If I
pull of this little trick for you, you'll
wise me up as to who elsesI I'm likely
to meet will know the truth about
me and who won't?" she asked
There's always the chance that
somebody might get suspicious some
way and try to pump me, and If
fell for it-?"
THAT is understood, Of course"
Mrs. Copeland responded as she led
the way downstairs. None of the
servants except Therese are in my
confidence and your nurse leaves this
afternoon
In the lower hall they found Sloat
awaiting them in company with the
tall, gaunt man with the sharp fea-
lures whom she had seen ahght from
the roadster on the previous evening
and. later seated with the others about
the council table. Now as he was
presented he shook hands gravely
with a keen glance into her eyes.

AT THE RIALT0.
Story of the Underworld and Will
Rogers in a Comedy.

A story of the underworld without
any of the sQualid scenes or ribald
incidents common to plays of such
character. is making its appearance
at the Rialto Theater this week in
the feature picture. Loves Whirl-
pool" and is proving TO be one of
the kind of pictures that gives genu-
inc entertainment from beginning to
end.
rSpiritualism. in contrast to the
customary fighting and drunkenness
to be found in pictures of the under
world, is resorted TO by the master
criminal for the purpose of making
more poignant vengeance that he
plans 10 wreak on a banker against
whom he holds an Unsuitable hate.
The unfolding 6f the plot produces
a series of incidents that grow in
interest as the play progresses. Nor
is the play without its stirring action.
A unique robbery, an escape from
burning ship, an escape from prison
and a police raid, are some of the
scenes depicted.
James Kirkwood, as the master
criminal. Lila Lee, as his wife and
Madge Bellamy. the bankers daugh-
ter, fill the leading roles. Their sup
porting cast is a strong one.
Will Rogers in comedy entitled
"The Cake Eater" also appears at
the Rialto this week. In this picture
he has succeeded in producing a real
mirth-maker. Judging from the laugh
ter that could be heard during the
unreeling of his efforts.

EMPIRE BILL GOOD.
Third Dimension Film Gives the Au.
dience Thrill.

Theater-goers will find one of the
best programs of months at the EN-
pire this week. "Icebound," an
adaptation of Owen Davis's play
which won the Pulitzer prize; BLACK
and Blue" is the comedy: Don
Philippians orchestra; Homer Sim
mons wonderful piano playing and
good organ music makes up the
weeks program.
~Icebound' is a good picture. With
an all-star cast including Richard
Dix, Lois Wilson and Vera Reynolds
and Edna May Oliver, Ethel Wales
and Alice Chaplin playing the sup
porting cast. the acting is excellent.
Other popular stars take part in the
picture.
The story is Of a "poor relation"
a girl who inherits all the family
money. The will cut out a son who
was young and feared work. The
mother in her will said that Jane,
the poor relation, could make her son
work because she loved him. When
Jane keeps Ben, the son, out of Jail,
he promises her that he will do as
she says. Ben's flapper cousin. who
is living in the same house, makes
him fall in love with her. When the
turning point in the story comes and
Jane makes a transfer of all of the
property to him, he sees how foolish
he had been. The picture ends as
practically every picture ends, they
get married.
One of the newest things on the
screen is "Plastigrams," the third
dimension of the screen. Everybody
thought they were going to get wet
when the hose was turned on in the
picture.
Don Philippians orchestra was as
good as ever. The organ music was
also good.

The Cyclonic Eva Brings to
San Antonio Songs She
Sang Fifteen Years Ago.

The cyclonic Eva Tanguay whose
arrival has been heralded in San An
tonic for the last two weeks, has
finally arrived and she hit the Ma
jestic Theater Sunday amid a veritable
conglomeration of costumes, sayings
and drops. In fact she has drop
for every song as we'll as a gown
for every appearance.
Billed as the dynamic force of
vaudeville Eva brings to San An
tonians for the first time songs she
sang some fifteen years ago when she
started on the career that has made
her the worlds most popular come
dienne. One of the songs that made
her famous, 81 Don't Care" is in
cluded in her repertoire, as are many
of the others songs with which she
r has entertained millions.
From the moment Eva comes on
the stage she is just plain Eva. She
sings of Eva. talks of Eva and there
is a hint of Eva in her dancing. Eva,
however, denies that she can sing,
says she cannot dance. says she
hasn't a pretty face and form, but
says she has made her money with
her pedal extremities.
Besides seeing Eva. patrons Of the
Majestic this week are assured of
seeing one Of the best black faced
acts in vaudeville. Jack George, as
sisted by Mae Normandie. presents
liking Tut's Tomb" and "Sons of l
Will Arise" Combining songs and
chatter, Jack is scream in the
former presentation. His treatment
of various subjects, principally mar
riage, from the pulpit in the latter
part of the act is original to say the
least.
John Giuran and ia Petite" Mar

Just how long he studied his in

gether, literally speaking, while play

the best features of the offering is
