PARAMOUNT PICTURES.
Marguerite Courtot, one of the most , amount program. Her first appear
popular of the younger motion pic- ance under the new auspices will be as
ture favorites, has been engaged by co-star with Owen Moore in an adap-
the Famous Flayers Film company
and will be starred by that pioneer
feature producing concern on the Par- '
of the big scenes, the culmination by
of which is a realistic fight.
Mr. Bushman and Miss Bayne are
surrounded by an unusually strong
supporting cast in A Million a Min
ute.," There are a half dozen artists
who have appeared in leading roles in
other productions, including Helen
Dunbar, Robert Cummings, John Dav
idson, Charles Prince, Carl isrickert.
Mary Moore, Mrs. Walker and Jerome

Miss Bayne are seen at their best in

ARCADE
Trio of Favorites in "Martha's Vindi
cation." Three popular Triangle players,
Norma Talmadge, Tully Marshall and
Senna Owen, are featured in the new
Griffith-Triangle drama, "Martha's
Vindication," which will be shown
Sunday at the Arcade theatre.
The' story of the play hinges on the
sacrifice of Martha for her friend,
Dorothea, when the latter loves too
well. The man is killed in an auto
mobile accident before he can keep his
promise to marry Dorothea, and Mar
tha volunteers to place the baby with
an old nurse and save her friend from
disgrace.
While Martha is on her way to
place the baby with her former nurse
she stays at a small hotel, where she
is seen by a scalawag named Sell
Hawkins. Later Hawkins remembers
this when his wifd's "baby farm" is
raided by the police at Martha's insti
gation. By her adoption of one of the
waifs Hawkins and his wife are aided
in a scheme for revenge. Thev adopt 1
a new deception, ingratiate themselves I
with the pastor of the church of which
Martha and Dorothea, the latter now
married to Deacon Hunt, are mem
bers. Angered by criticism of his
wife, Hawkins suggests that there are
worse sinners in the church than they
and tells the story of the hotel in-1
cident. ,
Martha is summoned to trial before
the congregation. On the day of the
trial Dorothea telephones to the aged
couple who have brought her boy to
n nearby house where she enn visit
him frequently and orders them to
take him out of town. She agrees to
meet them at an obscure park and say
goodby.
At the hour she has set for the fare
well the trial of Martha is reaching
its climax. Dorothea is unable to
leave, and the boy and his guardians
tire of waiting and proceed in a taxi
cab. The light vehicle is run down
by a motor truck and the bov is badly
hurt. The nurse picks him up and
iuns to the church, entering just as
Dorothea has risen to depart and has.bien 0n the screen during her movie
been halted by John's charges that she
,ind not. Martha should be on trial.
As the muse opens the door with
the boy in her arms Dorothea rushes
from the platform and clasps her
child in her arms. There is a hnsty
recital of the real facts in the case,
the Deacon yields to the pleas of Mar
tha and forgives his wife for conceal
ing her secret.
FILM NOTES.
San Francisco. Moving pictures ns
a form of amusement and education
were recently warmly defended by
Judge Graham when an attorney in
his court sought to cast a slur upon
them. The incident nrose when Mrs.
F.line Stuhr applied for letters of
guardianship over the five children of
her sister, who is ill in
hospital. Her l
attorney set forth that
the children
were roaming about the streets and
visiting "dissolute nickelodeons. At
this juncture the judge took a hand in
tation of, tdgar toolwyn's great com
edy drama "Rolling Stones."
the proceedings. "I don't see how any
body can call the motion pictures dis
solute, since they are one of the great
est educational agencies devised by
man," he said, "and I certainly will
not grant the application on that
ground. I think the children should
have a guardian, but it isn't my inten
tion to order the guardian to keep the
children away from tne nickelodeons.

Here's the new fall hat! It's quite different from the "mushrooms"

slightly stiffened too. A bow and a band are sufficient trimming. The
crown is velvet; the brim satin.
This model is also made in navy blue with sand color facing and in
a still darker tint of blue with facing of apple green Georgette crepe.
When the crown is in taupe or some of pale gray shades an underbrin

New York, Aue. 25. It isn't the

last few months.
It's the stuff that our Fall and Win

One thing is sure: we are come-
to be even more fear-somely fursome
tnan ever, usquimos will look posi
tively bareskinned compared to us if
wo wear all the furry fashions that
the fur designors have prepared for
us.
Fur coats are to be fuller and more

Just little round bullet affairs.
Ihe craze for moles that, hns
evinced itself in our summer fur col
lars promises to lap over in the win
ter season and, in consequence, these
little underground habitants have sky
high prices. Basking in the dazzling
light of popular fancy is enough to
account for the blindness of the lOlfi
mole.
Mink will return this winter to
fashionable favor and kolinskv and
skunk still hold their own.
Obviously, with such a craze for
furs impending, near furs or materials
made to imitate the real thing will be
much in evidence. "Edcrell.-i" is one
which simulates breadtait. It comes
in narrow strips for bandings and also
in yard width lengths. In the same
widths also comes "ursine" which has
a thick, soft, furlike nap.
For frocks we will ane the monks
with two materials loosely woven like
sackcloth or the coarse fabric of which
mars robes are made.
Like a twilled ratine is "sere mnnf.
flonne," and "drapclld" is a close im
itation or breadcloth.
Scree and etrbadine still enntinnn
in favor and there is a lovely thick
soft diagonally twilled material, quite
new, called "double trykho."
As for colors we are to go quite
subdued and almost sombre, demurely
draped in brown, blue or violet.
Brown in particular is to be much
worn and many a smart Fall suit will
be done brown. There Is a new shade
of it called "Snegalais." At least, it3
name is new and that is about all as
it would be turd to differentiate be
tween it and our eld brown friend
"tcte de negre."

before it is true, but just because the
