COLUMBIA'S SHOW GREAT Slajestic Has All-Laugh Comedy, "The Man Xoxl Door" Star Pre sents War Pictures Globe Has Stellar New Reels. The programme starting today at the Bunset is most enjoyable. "The Winning of Denise" tells the Story of St. Croix, of the Arctic Trad ing Company, who la shot accidentally by Denisce. daughter of De Luce, an in dependent trader. St. Croix is taken to the home of De Luce, and when the old man orders him to leave De Luce can not forget that he was wronged bitter ly by the Trading Company. An at tempt is made to rob the store and St. Croix saves the life of De Luce. De Luce then takes him into partnership and gives his consent to his marriage to Denise. In "The Dog's Good Deed". Mr. and Mrs. Goodwin, a wealthy and childless couple, lavish great affection on a dog. The dog runs away to the home of Mrs. Smith, the Goodwin's washerwoman. The Goodwins find the pet there and see their error. They take Mrs. Smith and her boy to live in their beautiful home. Then comes an extremely funny comedy, and the Pathe Daily pictures the latest war news. The All-Star Trio rounds up the bill, which will run until Saturday night. GLOBE PROVIDES Til KILLS Best Kpisode of "Perils of PaiHne" Novr on Screen. The most thrilling ndventure yet in the "Tenia of Pauline" series is "The Queen and the Oracle," now on at the Globe Theater, at Eleventh and Wash ington streets. Harry is warned that Pauline is in danger and sets out to find her. Pauline finds a way out after much effort. As she emerges an Indian sees her and Imagines she is a great queen. She is put through a great ordeal to prove she is human and Harry rescues her. "A Daughter of Eve" features Ethel Clayton. Kthel is a country girl of rich parents, but her father is not willing to spend money on her for cloth. 3 and accomplishments. He wants her to marry a country neighbor, but she, as a real daughter of Eve, finally wins her own way. "A Man From the Past" is a story of a woman with a past, which clears up satisfactorily. "Don't Monkey With the Buzzsaw" is a 'aughable comedy. This bill will prevail until Saturday night. COLUMBIA'S SHOW IS GREAT Comedy Prevails In Refreshing New Bill There. Dorothy Gish, as the petulant step daughter with a will of her own, is the big hit in a two-act comedy-drama, "Her Mothers Necklace," the leading attraction on the bill opening yester day at the Columbia. The story con cerns a pretty daughter of a wealthy physician who resented the appearance in her home of a stepmother. After one spirited conflict, she decided to leave. A burglar spoils her plans and brings the two women to an enjoyable understanding. There is a distinct punch in "The Fire at Sea," the tenth episode of "The Mil lion Dollar Mystery." Florence Gray, the heiress, in a demented condition, sets fire to the yacht in which she is being held captive and all take to the small boats. Their rescue and the inci dents which follow make it a most thrilling offering. Scenes of the Yosemite Valley are shown in a travel film and a comedy, "Recreation," completes the entertain ment. This bill runs until Sunday. MAJESTIC HAS LAUGH BILL "The House Xext Door" Showing Grouchy Old Man Amuses. A grouchy, grumpy old man with no outlook on life outside his office door is Sir John Coswold in "The House Next Door," at the Majestic Theater for four days beginning yesterday. Sir John objects to progress, he objects to love, he objects to education. In fact. Sir John objects to everything. The way he makes his wants known furnishes manv laughs for the play. Ethel Clayton and Gaston Bell as the children of Sir John fall in love with the Hebrew children next door at the early age of 5. When the children of both families are grown and want to marry the old baron is forced to give in after furious onslaughts against the people in the house next door. An acci dent in which the baron is rescued by his neighbor makes him see the fallacy of his position and the old man relents and blesses his neighbors. The Hearst-Selig News Pictorial and the Pathe Weekly depicting the latest war news conclude the offering. WAR PICTURES ARE AT STAR Comedies Also Are Presented In Lively New Show. A great review of the European war in motion pictures is being shown at the Star Theater. The pictures show scenes in Belgium. Germany. England, Austria and Montenegro, depicting war equipment and maneuvers. Florence Lawrence, Matt Moore and William O'Neill are features in "The Counterfeiter." Miss Lawrence is wonderfully suited to the part of the spoiled, willful daughter of wealthy parents. The mother wishes the daughter to marry the "Count." Flo refuses and the father takes sides with the daughter. The "Count" is exposed as a notorious counterfeiter, and the mother then gives her consent to the marriage of Flo and the man of her choice. Ford Sterling is seen in "Snookee's Disguise,' a comedy, that makes one laugh at the right time. Owen Moore and Virginia Pearson will appear in the Sunday offering, "Aftermath," written by William Afdison Hervey. a professor in Colum bia University.
