Can you Imagine a woman who
spending her last dollar to Impress
an American millionaire, and who
had him hanging on tho ropos, as It
were, rolling a proposal around on
his tongue, . being Interrupted In
this tuost important moment of her
whole life by the entrance of her
Beventeen-year-old daughter?. That's
Just what happened to the mother
In ''A Mother's Secret," which Will
be seen for the first time on Thurs
day at the Arcade Theatre. . , And
that seventeen-year-old daughter
was the mother's secret. The mil
lionaire thought it was ' a mighty
fine secret, too, and he began to pay
almost as much . attention ' to the
daughter as to the mother, only' he
brought the mother roses and tho
daughter toys. , For mother was
wise. ... ('You.. would not think I was
the mother of a thirteen-year-old
daughter, now, would you?" . And
the daughter was the only one who
kicked on the thirteen. - For she
was half In love with the millionaire
herself, So, you see, there Is some
situation to "A Mother's Secret."

Through tho Hot of : thrills and
adventure' that run In "Headin'
South," the Artcraft picture star
ring Douglas Fairbanks which will
be shown at the Arcade Theatre on
Friday and " Saturday, a romance
stands out. Catherine MacDonald,
the new leading lady for Fairbanks,
discloses a goodly measure of ath
letic skill while playing opposite
the strenuous and acrobatic star.
She is rescued in a unique manner
by Fairbanks' from a band of law
less Mexlcuns who have crossed tho
bordoi'. There Is a' wide diversity
of scenery in the picture, and great
ensembles of mounted' men. ,
Frank Campeau is again seen as
the vllllan, this time aa a Mexican
desperado, who is finally run down
by Fairbanks and his cowboys. As
Trampas, In the Virginian, a similar
role, Campeau scored his biggest
success of his career. ,

The treatment of' captured Ger
mans and a visit of King Albert to
the British front are shown In the
"Britain's Bulwarks" . series of offi
cial features, released by Pathe at
the Star Theatre toSnorrow and
Friday showing all phases of the
great world war.
From the day "Fritz" raises his
hands high above his head and cries
"Kamerad," his health is looked
after by the British government.
He is taken to one of the big con
centration camps. We see hundreds
of them at the Dorchester, Eng.,
prison camp.
'.A general view shows the camp
and the long avenue loading to the
playgrounds, where the prisoners
are permitted to engage in sports
and exercise. The camp Is surround
ed by a triple barricade of barbed
wire fences to prevent the escape of
any daring desperadoes.
In the early morning we see the
prisoners lined up and assigned to
their duties for the day.. The ranks
aro being continually added to by
fresh arrivals from. , the scenes of
activities at the front. - .
Many of the prisoners are put to
work at the trades which thoy fol
lowed while In Germany and they
are paid for the work. .
While they haven't all the com
forts of homo they have a great
many. There is a big library, a
chapel, and p. Y. M. C. A. hut.
The sick and wounded arc well
looked after in a Bplendldly equipped
hospital witli a finely appointed op
erating room.
The prisoners bako their own
bread and designate orderlies from
their own number to distribute it
with the other food given to thorn.
Tho government encourages all of
the German prisoners to keep fit
and offers them every opportunity
to do so.
On the same program will be
presented a mighty Interesting pic
ture called "The Hard Rock Breed."

Fiirmim Tells l.lfo or eneral ,
Ham Houston ' ;
If R. A. Walsh were not such a
conservative director,-he would have
adopted -tho tactics which manj
makors of motion . plcturos '' Ignor
antly pursue and announced In a
glaring subtitle to ''The Conquer
or," "Founded on Fact." Instead of
this, the William Fox director went
to the other extreme, and labelled
hlB production, "Not Founded on
Fact.".-. - ' -":.-
To be accurate, ''The Conqueror"
has more than a mere grain of truth
In it. The very character of Sam
Houston, as played by William. Far
num. In all his reckless, ambitious
realism, is a page from the Book' of.
History itself. The early incidents
of Houston's life, his days., among
the Indians, .and his migration from
Tennessee to ,' Texas-all are facts
well recognized 'in the story of the
Union.- ' " .:v' .' ' ;' . ':
Eliza 'Allen, too, as portrayed by
Jewel Carmen, is historically fue.
Houston married her in 1829, when
he was 36 years old; and she left
him three months later. No cause
has over ; been discovered' for this
separation. But .. Director R. A.
Walsh, his scenario writer. Chester
Clapp, and the author of the ''Con
queror," . Henry Clirlsteen. 'Warnnck,
: devised the entertaining ;, reason
j which plays so important a part in
ithe film drama. , i
I It Is true, too, that Houston re
1 turned to the Indians after the sepa
ration from his wife. The pair,
(however, were never united. It ro.
jmalned for (he genius of a director
I to devise a compact drama which
would end happily for all concerned.
The character of. Sidney Stokes,
also, was entirely a creation of the
dramatist's brain. In the competent
hands of Charles . Clary, however.
Stokes has been able to live with al
most as much surety as Sam Hous
ton and Eliza Allen ever lived. ,.
