Steiger is about the same age and
Mullinix is under 50. Mrs. Steiger
declares Mullinix has lied about

The officers have a letter written
apparently by Mrs. Steiger to Mul

written from Salem by Mullinix to
the woman. Both are in familiar
terms.

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.
Watch for them.
