Mary MacLaren is as fearless a
voting woman as any who is playing
for the screen today. And it Is Just
in well that she Is of a courageous
t' mperament, for she has been called
I upon to show her nerve In several
recent releases. Her Intest photo-
piay is a Butterfly, called, "The 1'low ; i
Woman," which was written in novel J J
form by Eleanor flates, and w!iich;it
will be seon nt the Star Theatre today j J J
and tomorrow. . In it Miss MacLaren i
enacts the role of a pioneer woman. j J
who had to perform all tho tint.- of i
a primitive farm, in tho days of J J
Indian lighting. In order to bring
realism to her characterization she J
learned to guide a plow. A pair of n
tiemendous farm horses was harn-jt
esscd to the plow, and Mary took the 'I I
big whip In one hand, the handle of I J ,
the plow In the other, and placed the ji
teins In the approved fashion around 'j a
her neck. She was just thinking i J
that tho difficulties of plowing !:ad!,i
been much exaggerated, when some- j J J
thing startled the horses, they sprang
forward, Mary lost her footing and
the reins, wound tightly around her
neck began to tighten ominously,
fortunately her director saw almost
immediately what was the matter,
the hoiBes were brought to a stand
still and tho little leading lady was
saved from a very , uncomfortable:
Hituntlon.
Helen Holmes In Chapter 11 of
the Railroad Raiders will be on this
same program. This chapter (s
called "A Desperate Deed" and shows
how Helen escapes from tho box car
and the close chase she gives the
raiders. She does many (thrilling
rtunts In this chapter, such as jump
ing from a moving train to another.
This chapter will probably be one of
the most thrilling yet shown.

A Modern Darwin
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15. (Spe
cial.) Some of our theories about
monkeys are all wrong, according to I
Darwin, modern naturalist, who lives
on the Island of Guam.
That monkeys are not searching
for fleas when cxnmining the fur of
one another, but are in quest of little
masses of salt-tasting solution that
exude from the pore3 of the skin, is
the opinion of Sergeant Robert I..
Darwin, a retired member of the
United States Marine corps, who is
owner of a monkey ranch on the
Pacific island.
Darwin does not suggest the raisin:;
of monkeys to relieve the salt scar
city, neither does he claim relation
ship with the author of "Origin of
Species."

There have been a number of calls
