(At Sherry's Today.)
Stuart Holmes, who plays Lantier,

thrown from a balcony in the making
of that production. As Lantier,
Holmes is attacked by the brother of
the girl whom he is supposed to have
ruined. The brother throws him over
a balcony to his death.
Holmes had purposed to do what is
known among gymnasts as a "dead
man's roll." He miscalculated the

Blai ch Sweet, the U-autiful Lasky
star, will be seen at Ine Arca le today
nd tomorrow, in the Jasse 1,. J-asky
production of "The Thousand Dollar
Husband. ' This is said to be the most
ungual of the many uniijue p';oto
diamas in which Miss Sweet has ap
pcareo. It is a Paramount program
release.
As Ola Nelson, Miss Sweet is seen
as the Swedish maid of all work in a
college boardirnr house. She is madly
in love with Douglas (Kirdon. one of
the wealthy young studonts living at
the bearding house. She gives his
room special attention and sees that
he has all the choice dainties the
boarding house table affords.
Your.g (rtjrdon, deeply in debt,
wires his father for money, but Gor
don, Sr., replies that his investments
have failed and he is practically p ri
mless and orders young Cordon to
leave college immediately.
One evening after work. Olpan and
one of the house maids visit Madam
Batavia, the fortune teller, ami Olga
is informeil that he is soon to become
wealthy. Shortly after that Olga's
rich uncle. Sven Johnson, locates his
niece and upon his deathbed leaves
her his fortune, with the condition
that she be married before her next
birthday. Young Gordon in an at
tempt to obtain some money, loses all
that he has in gambling. Olga, learn
ing of this, offers to give him the
money if he will marry her, and know
ing the difference in their positions,
agrees that he can leave her at once.
Hard pushed, Gordon does this, pays
his debts and returns home.
The fortune teller learns that Olga
has received her fortune and agrees
to make a lady out of her. The for
tune teller's son, Hardy, wiho fleeced
young Gordon, also attempts to get
some of Olga's money.
For fear of a raid, Madam Batavia
flees the town and establishes Olga in
a western city, which chances to be
the one in which young Gordon lives.
At a dance Olga and Gordon meet
again and Gordon recognizes Hardy
as the crook. Seeing the maid of all
work in her new life, Gordon falls in
love with his wife. Hardy makes un
welcome advances to Olga and he and
he mother plan to force her to marry
Hardy, thinking she is a widow. Gor
don tells Olga he will soon be able to
pay her back and free her from the
marriage. Olga's lawyer tells Gordon
that she is in the hands of a band of ;
crook:; and Gordon goes to her home. I
Manly gets a tip that the police are1
about to arrest him and in order to
take Olga with them in their flight,'
they plan to drug her and take her by
force just as Gordon breaks into the I
room ami he and Hardy have a des-1
peratf light. The police follow and i
Hardy and his mother are arrested.!
Young Gordon, realizing that he real-
ly loves the girl who has helped him 1
out of so many difficulties, takes her
into his arms as his wife. !

CHINESE RESTAURANT CLOSED
AS NUISANCE.
Owner of Building Cancels Lease and
Tom Lee Is Out.
Quick work on the part of District
Attorney Colon R. Eberhard has re
sulted in the abatement of one of the
places alleged for some time to have
been 3 nuisance, and which has caused
the local notice force a ereat deal of
trouble. Immediately after the recent
arrest of Tom Lee, a Chinese, on a
charge of running a disorderly house
in a restaurant on Adams avenue and
the foiefeiture of his bail, the district
attorney filed in circuit court a com
plaint under the state nuisance act,
popularly known as the West abate
ment statute, against the Chinaman
and the owner of the place.
On Monday of this week, the owner
filed in the circuit court a statement
that the lease of the Chinaman had
been cancelled and that no further
Chinese tenants would be allowed in
the restaurant, thus accomplishing
everything that the abatement act
calls for, except the payment of costs
through the sale of the goods found in
the premises. Inasmuch as creditors
had taken possession of the property
of Tom Lee, and inasmuch as there
were no actual costs, by reason of all
officers acting in the case being upon
a salary, there was nothing to be ac
complished by 'continuing the pro
ceedings and accordingly they were
dismissed.

Colorado Bullmoosers Deciding.
Denver, Colo., Aug. 11. Whether
to disband or to name a third state
ticket was to be decided at the state
assembly of the Progressive party
opening here today. The Progressive
state central committee is on record
as opposed to an outright endorse
ment of Charles E. Hughes for presi
dent. The committee adopted a sub
stitute motion leaving Bullmoosers
free to act independently nationally.
It was not expected that today's con
vetion would overthrow this action.
The' call for the assembly showed a
possible total of 455 delegates based
on the Progressive party's vote in
Colorado at the last state election but
the attendance today was consider
ably under the maximum number.
Many former Progressives have re
joined the Republican party. Clar
ence P. Dodge of Colorado Springs
has been mentioned for the Progres
sive nomination for governor but it
was not certain a state ticket would
be named today.
