I INSURE ARCADE Vivian Martin In Clever Story Charming Vivian Martin, the Mo-rosco-Paramount star who recently cored such a success in "The Spirit of Romance," and "The Girl at Home," will be seen at the Arcade today and tomorrow in Edith Kennedy's adapta tion of Lois Zellnor's clever story, "Giving Becky a Chance." In "Giving Becky a Chance," Vivian Martin has an opportunity to run her entire scale of dramatic emotions from the lightest light comedy to heavy, gripping tragedy. The story is that of a young girl, the daughter of the general store keeper in a small country town. So that their daughter may enjoy the best advantages, her parents send Becky to a boarding school. There, thrown in with a number of wealthy girls. Becky thoughtlessly poses as a wealthy hoiress. How, through her mother's illness, her deception is found out by the man she loves and how, as a clever cabaret dancer, she finally saves, her father from bank ruptcy, and wins back hor sweetheart, is brought about in a most charming and delightful manner. ' That Miss Martin is an accomplished and graceful dancer, was unknown to her many friends until the production of this picture. The director had pre pared to make these scenes mere in cidents, but when Miss Martin as tonished them all with her grace, he promptly made them an Important feature. The cast supporting Vivian Martin is' one of unusual excellence and in cludes such prominent players as Jack Holt, Alice Knowlan, P. II. Sosso, and Jack Richardson. The production was made in the usual Morosco-Paramount thoughtful and beautiful manner. A THRILLING FILM ed with refuse, their berry patches de stroyed by breaking off the bushes, their stock crippled by careless shoot ing, or, when they have to fight fire thoughtlessly left tospread by camp ers too lazy to put it out, it natur ally roils the best of them. People who bring their manners and their conscience with them will always be welcome but those who think they can throw civilization into the discard when they are a few miles from town or when they think no one sees them had better stay at home. A very good way is to let the land owner know it when they are on his place. He can then assist them to And whereas the use of tobacco by human family, is a useless, filthy and expensivo habit and the ground used in the raising of tobaco could be used to raice a vast amount of necessary food for humanity.

Most of it you see through a mist of tears, because it reaches down to the simple emotions stirred up by human suffering and up to the greater emo tions which are the heritage of a courageous people.

Regarding mental disorders among the men, which he characterized as "very common in this way," General Gorgas said: "We will take special care of these. Pr. Pearce Bailoy is working on that in our department with the rank of major. "Mental troubles are among tho most common to be dealt with in mod ern armies.
