Hill's Department Store AT THE MOVIES AT ARCADE. Douglas Fairbanks as "The Lamb" The Lamb, the celebrated character in which Douglas Fairbanks has toured the country with great success, will be presented in an entirely new play at the Arcade tonight and to morrow. The event marks Mr. Fair banks' debut as a screen start here, which promises to duplicate the big hit he scored in "The Lamb" in New York, The type as the familiar New York one of a dandified youth who has yet to find himself. He is exiled to the western wilds by the coldness of his sweetheart, who does not think he is enough of a man. The young New Yorker hus a misadventure in getting off the train in Arizona. He is trans ported across the Mexican border and gets mixed up in an unpleasantness between the federals and the Yaquis. There he discovers his sweetheart also a prisoner of the savage Yaquis. They handle a machine gun with ireadly ef fect against the redskins. Some of the finest battle scenes pre sented on the film stage are to be seen in "The Lamb." In fact, it has J been described as a miniature "Birth of a Nation." .Raymond Hitchcock in "My Valet." I Raymond Hitchcock, who has been a laugh in musical comedy, since the ,days of "Tihte Yankee Consul," ha3 i yielded to the lure of motion pictures , and will be seen at the. Arcade Wed nesday and Thursday in his first Key . stone farce, "My Valet." The com . edian has taken with him into the j films nil that natural humor which has made Mm so successful in flesh and blood productions. . His facial expres sion, funny walk and gestures and farcial forelock are all there. With them re Mack Sennett, creator of Keystone comedy, and some of his foremost funmakers and practical .jokers, including Mabel Normand and Fred Mace. ; I The action of the farce begins on the train which is carrying Hitchcock and his valet, Sennett, to the Pacific coast. Many ludicrous situations are : provided in their compartment on the train. Arriving in California, fcbrills are added to the action. As they are riding in a motor to their hotel, Mabel Normand on a (runaway horse dashes by. Hitchcock makes a daring leap from the car to the back of the run away and saves the young woman's life. The finish must be seen to be appreciated. The farce ends with Hitchcock's thrilling parachute ride through the air, his drop into the sea and rescue of the lady of his heart. Sennett and Mace receive the due of all good vil-lians. M'J$w Huh 1 kffri Notice of Sale.
