MAE MARSH, the star of so many
quaint Triangle productions, and
who last appeared In "The Wild
Girl of the Sierras," will be presented
to Columbia Theater patrons today in
"The Marriage Of Molly-O," a story of
Ireland. Pigs, mud huts, the poor peas
ants and the wicked landlord, his vic
ious son, and then the disguised no
bleman who falls In love with the lit
t'e peasant lass, all contribute to a
production said to more than usually
charming.
Fay Tincher, the black and white
girl of Triangle, Is the star of a two
part comedy, "Laundry Liz."
The Manhattan Trio, which opened
an engagement several days ago, will
continue their repertoire of popular
eonsa through the week. The "har
mony boys" are making a hit with
Columbia folk.
With Miss Marsh In "The Marriage of
Molly-O" appears Robert Harron, who
seems to be her regular dramatic part
ner these days. Kate Bruce, James
O'Shea and Walter Long are other
prominent members of the cast.
Holmes, feminine star of "Whispering
Smith," appears In a picturization of
tne well-known Alice McGowan story,
"Judith of the Cumberland. " The
three primitive passions, love, hatred
and revenge, form the basis for this
story of action, with the old code of
"an eve for an eye and a tooth for
a tootn" as the dominant note of the
film.
Miss Holmes plays the role of Judith
Barrier, daughter of the hills, who is
torn between duty to her clan and love
of her sweetheart. The story treats
of an ancient mountain feud, in which
Creed Bonbright. who lost his father
in a fight with a rival clan, tries to
educate the sturdy mountain men to
respect the law instead of disregarding
it. The scenes are all laid in the Ken
tucky mountains, giving an opportunity
for some wonderful photographic ef
fects. The Seller-Tribune Weekly of news
events is another subject to be
screened. '
Sunset.
The Sunset Theater's new Paramount-Triangle
programme for today
features "The Moral Fabric," one of
those dramas of modern life. Involving
the sacredness of matrimony, "which
causes so much discussion. Frank
Mills, speaking stage star of "Ready
Money" and "Bought and Paid For,"
Is the leading figure in this production.
"Dizzy Heights and Daring Hearts," a
BCfntillating Keystone comedy, starring
Charter Conklin and the Burton Holmes
Travelogue, are other films on the bill.
Free love, one which scoffs 8t con
vention and holds marriage ties as
v'taker than cobwebs, is the theme of
"The Moral Fabric." A friend, a prophet
of the new thought, robs a husband of
his wife, leaving: the stunned man with
the remark that he cannot possibly
object for the wife has transferred
her affections. But there comes an
other time, with the situation reversed,
and this "other time" is what gives
the photoplay a "punch." which Is sure
Xirs.
Peoples.
"The Si.rcr.ger Love," a Morosco
mado photodrama of the mountain
clans, serves tc introduce charming
Vivian Martin as a Paramount star at
the Peoples Theater today. Feuds and
the "revenuers" have a dominant place
in this production, which is said to be
a masterpiece of outdoor photography,
depicting beautiful mountain scenes.
Miss Ma rein is presented as Nell
s .t feud with the Rutherfords. Nell
meets a stranger, thinks he is a "rev
enuer," but the grirl is fascinated by
him. When the officers raid the Serv
lss atlll Nell saves tho man, when he

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
Injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
Th best thing to use is Just plain
mulslded cocoanut oil. for it ij pure and
entirely greaselees. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soapa or any
thing else all to pieces. Tou can get
this at sujy drug store, and a few ounce
will last the while family for months.
Simply moisten the 'hair with water
and rub it in. about a teasposnfel is all
that is required. It makes au abundance
of ricii, creamy lather, cleanses thor
iThly and rinses out easily. The hii
dries culsiEiy and evenly. &ad Is soft
fresh lovstiag, bright, t) ulfy, wavy, end
asy to handia. Besides, it loosens sad
tskeu out every partiel of dust, dirt

James, of the Majestic, paid more than

On this basis the sum derived from
the benefit by that Institution will to
tal $1400 or $1500.
"Veda" is proving a pleasant sur
prise to those who went to the Majestic
to witness a society novelty, for the
film has real merit. The photography
is generally good; the story, a bur
lesque on the ever-present film vam
pire. Is interesting, and the acting is
adequate.

when she had to choose between the polished man of the city
and the "diamond in the rough" of her own people, became
as the Rock of Gibraltar. IT'S AS THRILLING AS IT IS
