The officers have a letter written apparently by Mrs. Steiger to Mul linix from Leaburg, and another written from Salem by Mullinix to the woman. Both are in familiar terms.

Lean Steiger, aged 02, woo in me county juu uei u loUay in Ueiauil Opening the week (Sunday after noon and evening) we have Mary Miles Mintner in "Ann« of Green Gables.” The following catch lines indicate what kind of a character Anne was: "Oh, you poor little pret ty kitty," said Anne as she picked up the skunk. Anne went to he picnic all right, but—she busted it up. Why did everyone beat it when Anne came around? Anne could get into more scrupes than a file. "Gee, these chocolate creams are fine!" said Anne, as she chewed on a handful of peas. Anne was al ways in hot water, and she kept the villagers there, too. The best thing that ever happened for the village was that Anne wasn't bora twins Daredevil action, plenty of speed und pep and more than the usual quota of thrills greet the audiences who see the third episode of "Smashing Barriers,” Vitagraph's latest serial of romance and red blooded adventure Monday and Tuesday nights. There is a suc cession of one thrill after another until the finish when the big jolt of the evening comes. The finish finds Edith Johnson (Bella Manners) in the power of the outlaw lumberjacks who are trying to prevent her from finding her father, the owner of the lumbr camp they are trying to obtuin possession of by a forged deed. On the same nights “ Car men of the North," starring Annu Bos will also he shown. She hus never before been seen on the screen of any theatre in America until this picture was produced. “Carmen of the North" is one of the series of eight special productions in which this versatile little star is featured. She has all the charac teristics of Nazimova and Mary Fickford combined, and her pic tures have been shown in every theatre of importance in Europe. Does a woman lie when she loves? She certainly does, and Norma Tal- madge proves it in "She Loves and Lies," here Wednesday and Thurs day nights. True, Miss Talmadge has a good excuse for her fibs, for she must win a fortune and in or der to do this she must marry a man, while she is masquerading as a woman of fiftytwo, who happens to be the man she really loves and he really believes she is the age she represents. Some task, but Miss Talmadge is so versatile thut she not only makes the aged wom an convincingly lovely, but compels her youthful husband to become so wrapped up in her that when he has a chance to escape what to some would prove a distasteful mar riage, he will not let her go. Then comes the surprise when the young man finds out that his bride is u girl full of the buoyancy of youth and the joy of living. Miss Marion Davies is the star on Friday night in "Cecilia of the Pink Hoses." Miss Davies in this from “rags to riches” drama is a delight- fid choice for tiiis unique role, und the results obtained in her inter pretations of the little daughter of the tenements, who evolved into the mistress of millions, dependent for success upon emotionalism, character and restraint covering a wide and comprehensive field of human experience, hus introduced to the film world another big stur to be reckoned with. "Dawn” on Saturday night will please you. It tells the story of a young man who gradually loses his sight Relatives and friends unite in pitying him and sympathizing with him until he feels the most helpless and useless thing on earth. Ilis sweetheart, he believes, finds blind people repulsive. Then comes the revolt of hie nature against tradition aguinst dread and de spair. He shows that the blind are not helpless! They are not useless! They can see—for they see with the eyes of the soul and the things their hands can be taught to do an- use ful. “Dawn" is a delightful story that make3 you feel better for hav ing seen it. Clean, wholesome, lib erally sprinkled with delicious bits of humor—particularly Susan's poetry. Many other big pictures coming.
