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.

Chicago, April 11. "Amelrican
women believe in military prepared
ness against war and they will have
much to do with shaping tihie military
policy of the United States," todny
said Mrs. Frederick A. Dow, Chicago
club woman, past general president
und present general secretary of the
Illinois Federation of Women's clubs,
who is expected to bring the matter
up at the General Federation Conven
tion in New York, May 22.
"American women do not want war
but tihey clearly see that the duty of
this nation is to be prepared for any
aggressor," Mrs. Dow said. "It took
our armv too long to get into action
ofter the Columbus raid. -1 was talk
ing with a proud mother of four sons
the other day and she said: 'I don't
want my four sons to go into battle,
but when their country calls I expect
them to go.' One the danger asserts
itself the women of America will lino
up as a unit, as they have done in
European countries, to repel the aggressor."
