Clara Kimball Young.
Clara Kimball Young, considered
by many as tho most advertised star
in pictures, will be the attraction at
the Arcade theatre on Sunday when
oho will be seen in "The Dark Silence"
a five part World picture, directed by
Albert Capellanl and which was writ
ton especially for her by Paul West,
tho well-known writer of short stor
ies. It is a play in which Miss Young
is first a poor artist, and later a Red
Cross nurse. It is timely, having a
few high-class battlo scenes, and the
commotion in the hospital, following
an engagement, is the most realistic
ever filmed. Throughout Miss Young
plays with all tho strength of expres
sion which has marked her former
successes, and is tho centre of a pic
tui that will please all her friends.
Mary Pickford Monday.
Beginning Monday, for two days
only, the Arcade theatre will present
the world's most popular screen star,
Mary Pickford, in her latest cubject
for Artcraft pictures, " A Poor Little
Rich Girl," adapted from tho well
known Eleanor Gates' story and play
of the same name.
A tale of particular heart appeal
throughout, offering nunny smiles and
situations of human charm, "A
Poor Little Rich Girl" affords the in
comparable Mary Pickford a screen
play which allows the foremost mo
tion picture favorite ample opportun
ity to portray touching situations as
only she can. ft
Gwendolyn, the "poor little rich
girl," is so called for her wealth and
material comforts and her poverty in
the happiness and affection she craves.
! She 13 a full-blooded little girl, but as
is often the case in real life, is denied
the actual pleasures of childhood
through her selfish parents who are
too busy with their own ambitions to
realize that their child is unhappy.
A trag'-. Incident brings realization to
the parents and tho doctor's pre
scription of plenty of play ,to be tak
en in a gingham dress is immediately
acted, upon, and love, a we know
him with quiver and bow, leads three
loving hearts over the hill of shadow
into the volley of sunshine.
In addition to its other merits, "A
Poor Little Rich Girl" offers rare op
portunities for artistic effects. The
limitations of visualizing the story,

tion and which are readily evident to
the many thousands who have read

removed through the possibilities of

that although the success of both the

subject las presented on the screen
with Mary Pickford in the title role,
will only now actually come into its
own.

A WO HID PICTURE
WOMEN PATRIOTIC.
New York, April 7. (Special)
"Are women more patriotic than
men?" During the past week two
women to every man have applied for
enlistment in the United States Ma
rine Corps, according to Capt. Frank
E. Evans, officer in charge ol rc;ruit-
I ing here.
"One woman insisted upon being
assigned to duty on a battleship,'
said Captain Evans, "and it was dif
ficult to convince her that women are
not permitted to serve in any capac ity
on warships."
A recent ruling of Secretary Dan
iels provides for the enlistment of
women to fill clerical positions, only,
in case of war. This has encouraged
many patriotic daughters of America,
who prefer machine guns to type
writers, to offer their services as act
ual combatants.

A HUMAN TORPEDO.
Chicago, April 7. (Special) "Got
any use for a professional dynamv
ter?" was tho startling query ad-
dressed to Sergeant Enk, of the Unit
ed States Marine Corps recruiting sta
tion here, by Robert S. Phillips, who
applied for enlistment a few days ago,
"I am a human torpedo," he added,
"and can blow up anything from a tin
can to a 'battleship."
Phillips explained that things had
been quiet in his line for some time,
as engineering operations have been
practically suspended during the war.
He said that he had heard that the
"soldiers of the sea" were always first
on the spot, and that they would prob
ably offer the best field for his tal
ents.
He was accepted and sent to
Charleston, S. G, for training and de
tail to a mine planting company.

Reporter Goes To War.
Port Worth, Texas, April 7. (Spe
cial) The shock that Abou Ben Ad
hem experienced when he was awak
ened by the angel had nothing on tho
surprise- that Guy D. Wilson, a cub
reporter, furnished the editor of the
Fort Worth Record.
Wilson was sent to visit recruiting
stations and bring in the names of
men enlisted that day. After a call at
the United States Marine Corps, he
decided he would give up newspaper
work and follow the fortunes of the
"soldiers of the sea". He sent his
report back to the editor by messen
gor.
The following edition of the Record
published a long list of recruits, and
"Lo, Guy Wilson's name led all the
rest."
