ARCADE CLOTHES AND THE MAN. HAZEL DAWN AT HER BEST. Brillian Star in Famous Players "The Feud Girl." If W$m -. r$M a LOUISE LOVELY in THE GILDED SPIDER SHERRY'S . Originality in Photoplay Construction When "The Gilded Spider" comes to ine snerry tneatre today and tomor row in Bluebird photoplays, there will be disclosed a series of ingeniously contrived sensations that will make this feature distinctive among fiveact pictures in tho genuinely feature class. The story is carried from Italy, where the deliberate committal of a wrong against a poor Italian woman, stirs the vengeance of tho bereaved husband, across the Atlantic to New York, where tho half-crazed Sicilian spends long years in the search for the man who wrecked his home and blackened ihs heart with the blood of vengeance. Perhaps there is nothing uncommon in a story of hatred and revenge, but me manner in wnicn the Bluebird photoplayers handle the subject will make the feature strikingly unique among its kind. In the first place there is beautiful Louise Lovely to im personate the Italian mother, and later on thie Italian girl around whom centers all the action. , Sensations follow , sensations in working out the plot. The scene on board a vacht. when thA rrirT inmna overboard and drowns in defense of her honor; the kidnapping of an American woman by a band of des perate criminals: a beautiful roof trar- den scene, which ends in a desperate leap to death; a wild automobile chase, and a brilliant festival scene in Hazel Dawn, the beautiful fair haired star of the Famous Players Film company, makes a. sensational success in that leading producing company's latest Paramount picture, "The Feud Girl." Miss Dawn, with a cast of prominent players which in cludes -Irving Cummings, Arthur Mor rison, Hardee Kirkland, Gertrude Norman and George Majeroni, enact ed the drama in perhaps the most pic turesque districts of Georgia,under the careful supervision of Director Fred Thomson. The Arcade will ex hibit "The Feud Girl" today and to morrow. As the title implies a feud exists between two lands, the Haddons and the 'Bassetts, the inhabitants of the wild and rugged southern mountain region, lhe chief bone of contention is the big mountain which lies be tween them Iron Mountain. "The railroad engineers, discovering the in valuable territories lying in the wake of these warring factions proceed to umie encm. Nell Haddon. a" tvnical care-free daughter of the hills, hates the Bas- sett clan , with the same vehemence as does the rest of her clan. Through the persuasiveness of the railroad of ficittls Haddon is induced to marry Nell to one of the Bassett elan. Nell hears of the plan and announces that sne would rather marry any member of her clanN than one of that hated tribe. Dave is admitted into the con test after much opposition from Luke, an ardent admirer of Nell. When he draws the losine straw Nell ouicklv changes it behind her back. A fight starts immediately between Luke and Dave, the winner taking the girl. Dave throws his enrnfrprl rivnl with Dave cleverly brings about the meeting of the clans. They stand face to face on a leveled field. Neil is staggered when she sees Dave in the r anks of the Bassetts and for the first time learns that he is one of them. Unly the quickest action on the part of the women prevents a clash be tween the two clans when the decen tion is discovered. As the weeks roll on Nell's consciousness that she is soon to fulfill her greatest mission in life turns her thoughts towards her raisuaiul. whom she ovos ripen h his uecepiion. How to Bo Well Dresaed and Not Look Like a Cloudy Winter Day. In the American Magazine Is an ac count of one of the most successful insurance solicitors In the country, who attributes a large part of bis suc cess to the fact that be always looks well dressed and prosperous. "If you have only one suit of clothes, keep that One suit clean and pressed all the time," he says. "Press your trou sers yourself every day If necessary. I have pressed my trousers lots of times. Keep your shoes shlned" "If you can afford several suits, change off from one suit to another frequently and keep all of them spot less and well pressed.. I never wear a suit longer than the second day at a time. To change every day is better. It gives the clothes a chance to 'rest I always hang my clothes on bangers the minute I take them off. It gives them a chance to Vome back' Into shape and the nap to come up again. "It is a great economy to have lots of good clothes. A suit will last twice and three times as long and always look well If you keep changing off from one to another. . Besides, people get tired of seeing a man in the same suit day after day for a whole season. "When I started in tho Insurance business years ago I realized that to make a good appearance was to look prosperous, and I paid much attention to my dress. I avoided solid colors and always selected clothes with some life in them. A dasb of color about your person, wbetber it be in the plnid of the suit, the shirt, tie, hat or handkerchief protruding from the coat pocket, will take away the monotony of one's appearance and is sure to please. But. in adding this 'life' and 'pep' to one's appearance, avoid, above all things, the colors that clash. Get clothes with 'snap' and 'life;' avoid those which make the wearer look like a cloudy winter day." WON THE AUDIENCE. Western Farmers In Politics BOOST! AND SEE THE RIDERS !

Onco when Sarah Bernhardt was act ing in Italy the audience was rath. er unfriendly, owing to the fact that the prices of the seats had been con siderably increased. After the first act Mine. Bernhardt called her maid and gave her some di rections in an undertone. The maid left the theater, but speedily returned, and just before her mistress went on the stage again she handed ber some thing as she stood in the wings. The scene progressed. "The Divine Sarah" seemed hoarse. She tried to clear her throat, passed her handkerchief across her month, and suddenly a stream of blood poured from her lips, and she fell into the arms of the actor with whom she was playing. The curtain was promptly rung down, and the audience waited breath lessly to hear the worst All their previous vexation was turned to sym pathy, and when it was announced that the great actress would shortly resume her part rather than disap point them the cheering was deafen ing. When ujiidnme came on again tho people applauded her as loudly as formerly they had shown their disap proval, and the rest of the play was ono long triumph. - But that audience never know the truth, for when madame bad sent her maid out of the theater It was to get' her a small bladder of red ink, which she kept in her handkerchief nnd which she bit through with her teeth so as to produce the alarming effect that had transformed ber audience. rearson's Weekly.
