LET US SHOW THEM TO YOU HILL'S DEPARTMENT STORE Quality and Service. Marne Battlefield and Den of Apaches Seen in "The Black Butterfly." Many striking scenic" efforts are shown in the .Metro production, "The Black Butterfly," with Mme Petrova as star, which will bo seen at the (Sherry theater nero the last time to I night. One of the most remarkable is a reproduction of a den of Paris Apach es which Mme. Petrova herself, with the aid of her camera-man, Andre Barlatier, staged and directed. The scene represented is the famous Cav eau, where Apaches und their frigo lettcs drink, dine and dance. Real Apache dancing is given by artists of the first rank and every dcU-.il of the scene is carried out with absolute ac curacy and realism. In this reproduction of the Caveau, the room is filled with rough wooden tables, about which are seated the Apaches and their sweethearts. The gray walls of the cafes are covered with chalk mark drawing and inscrip tions in French and in the argot of the quarter, and on one side is a J A Tip Worth Money To You It is said that time saved is money saved there fore why not take advantage of the dull season and secure prompt service and your pick of the new spring wall paper on display now at OXNER'S NEW PAINT STORE Good E&ts roughly drawn casket. Into this sordid scene steps Mme Petrova, looking like a lily shining in c cellar. An infprpstinir feature of the pro duction is that Mme. Petrova, playing the double role or a r.iotner ana aaugn ter, slowly crosses the room and standing with her arms resting on the back of a chair, talks to herself; as h mnthpr. enscorced in its recesses. This unusual double exposure is a unique achievement m tne History oi the motion picture, and it is a distinct triumph to Camera-man Barlatier. At Sherry's Today lip''" SCENE FROMTHE BLACK BUTTERFLY ARCADE "THE MARTYRDOM OF PHILIP STRONG"; ARCADE THEATER Two notable contributions to litera ture were "In His Steps" and "The Crucifixion of Philip Strong," by the Reverend Charles M. Sheldon, which created a profound impression at the time of their publication. With these two great stories as a basis, a photo play has been produced called "The Martyrdom of Philip Strong," featur ing Robert Conncss and Mabel Trun nellc. It is the Paramount picture at the Arcade theater today and tomor- !of Him whose word he is preaching , i .i . ii.- u ana nis uiougncs are oi me worm. Under the guidance of Spirit of Man, Philip Strong visits the slums and sees sights of misery and suffering which he had never even known to exist. Then awakening to the utter sham of his own life, Strong dedicates himself to the alleviation of the suffering of the poor and the ig norant. : But he has recokoned without his wife and her very worldly mother. When Strong brings home a poor lit tle child oi tne slums so tnat ne may take personal care of her, his wife refuses to permit their daughter to associate with the stranger and pro tests violently against even admitting her to the house. Goaded on by her mother, Mrs. Strong finally leaves the home and her husband gradually AT ARCADE THEATER TODAY A ND TOMORROW 1 M.H 1 I i Oranges 'l'x I'.Uc and -Kh; a ozon (J rape Fruit, -1 for 2'n- NEW CALlH)If NL RllUJiAKH (JAUlIFLOWEli JIKAD JiK'LTUCl VKLVMY K'UTAHAOAS TURNUPS CARROTS PARSNIPS GARBAGE Have you tried a 20c can of Heinz' or Mrs. Porter's Fig Pudding The City Grocery & Bakery r its. - 3f r ' (f Hl i 1 Pllllip CilVOS T-DRL RT CONNT..S.'

Philip Strong is the pastor of a wealthy congregation and is content j with prenching clover sermons to his , flock until Brother Man, symbolizing the Spirit of Christ on earth, points I out to him the fact that his whole life is n lie. He is not living in the spirit spends nil his time in the slums. Strong's activities against the un derworld forces soon bring him into personal contact with some of his own parishioners who own the property on which saloons and other undesir able places nre located. Failing to dissuade him from his crusade against them, they resort to violence and this fact awakens the latent better self in Mrs. Strong who ropents of her ac tion. But it is too late, for the great soul of the man was stronger than his body, which has collapsed under the frightful strain to which it has been subjected.

The draught is poor and it is impossible to get re sults. A chimney sweep will clean out this sooty crust for two or three dollars and make a lot of work, dirt and muss, and yet it is worth it if you can't get it done any other way.
