Liberty.
William Desmond will be seen In the
latest Ince Triangle drama. "Time
Locks and Diamonds," at the Liberty to
day. This is a cunningly contrived
gentleman - crook story, with many
bold and daring situations. These are
so woven into the story that it is hard
for anyone to solve the mysteries until
the very end.
Silver Jim" Farrel, as he is known
to his accomplices, is 'he world's mas
ter criminal. His daring robberies are
not confined to one locality, but ex
tend from New York to Rome. The
police and international detectives are
constantly on the alert to apprehend

Screen Gossip. '
Ethel Clayton's next play for World
Pictures is due to be published late in
September. It ia called "The Woman
Beneath," and the heroine is a society
butterfly till the pinch comes, when
she turns out to be true blue. There is
some, unusually clever comedy in this
piece, to offset the powerful dramatic
situations.
Dustln Farnura is the living proof
that one desn't have to be a Westerner
to be a cowboy. He was born and
reared in Lev: Englr.nd. But he is one
of the most fearless horsemen in the
country, as his work in the William
Fox production. "Durand of the Bad
Lands," will prove.
Vola Vale is the latest member of
filmdom to don the wide sombero and
do "westerns." Miss Vale's first ap
pearance in such a role will be op
posite Charlie Ray in his first Art
craft release now in the process of
production at the Thomas H. Ince
studios.
George Fisher Is the newest member
of the Shooters' Club at Santa Bar
bara, which has organize for weekly
practice in anticipation of the duck
season. Tr. club comprises exclusive'
ly members of the American Film
studio.
"The Marriage Market," shortly to be
published by World Pictures Brady
made, will nava one of those star cast
for which this producing concern has
become well known. This will lnclud
Carlylo Blackwell, June Elvidge, Arthur
Ashley and other very, .well-known
players. The play is adapted from
widely - circulated novel published
under another title.
"Jack" Vosburgh, who wU be seen in
an important characterization in
"Southe.-i Pride," the coming American
issue, has Joined up with the newly
organized California Artille Corps.
Stiles Dickenson's contribution
understood-in-advance success of :
Geraldine Farrar multiple-reel pictu:
now in production at the Lasky studio
is the large portrait of Miss Farrar in
a costume comprising a fascinating
blending of barbaric colors. This pic
ture, as copied in lithographs and spe
cial posters, will provide the new Far
rar screen-play with perhaps the most
artistic paper" that the film world
has seen to date.
George Fisher, who plays leads for
the American, was putting makeup on
for a scene In "The Sea Master," of
future issue, when the omnipresent kid
shouted to his mother: "Ma. that man
has hurted himself. See. he's putting
salve on his face!" But proof that the
kid was wrong- and that George re
tains his manly beauty is found not
only in the foregoing explanation, but
also in the fact that in Seattle some
of his girl Infatuates have named some
sort of a club in his honor.
The gowns Gail Kane, the American
star, wore in the current production of
"Souls in Pawn" are to b: sold to the
highest bidders at a Red Cross bazaar
in Santa Barbara. Miss Kane is now
in San Francisco keeping dates with
mcdistes for an entire new wardrol-e
fo? her next production, "Wit," which
will be begun in a few days, now that
her sixth "Flying A" piece, "Southern
f ride," has been completed.
George Ade is again to be plcturized.
His new crop of "Fables in Slang,
which have appeared in magazines dur
ing the last year, are now in prepara
tion for release through General Film,
which has already been distributing
with conspicuous success the O. Henry
torles in film form. The AUe rabies
are being made into screen material by
Essanay and will be 2o to 30 minutes in
englh. The nrst number, scheduled
tor September, is the fable of the
Twelve-Cylinder Speed of the Leisure
Class." A series of Ade fables filmed
about a year ago were most successful.
Beauty and wealth do not make a
moving picture actress a star in these
days of keen competition and exacting
demands. Miss Miriam Fouche has both
beauty and wealth, but sheer ability,
aptitude for the work ana a determina
tion to make good made her a Greater
Vitagraph star in a little more than a
year.
Florence Reed, the well-known ac
tress of the "speaking stage" and who
has no superior in emotional roles, is
the star of a big Pathe special. "To
day." a drama in seven parts. This is
not Miss Reed.s nrst appearance in a
Pathe feature. She will be remem
bered as the star of New lork. "At
Bay" and "The Woman's Law" all
Pathe releases. Ralph Ince directed
the picture, which has been hailed by
the critics as one of the best that has
ever been made.
Mary Miles Minter. American Film
star, surprised her director. Lloyd In-
crraham. and everybody else within
earshot, by sounding a regulation bu
gle call the other day during the film
ing of a fight scene in "Her Country's
Call." The border raiders are charging.
Mary grasps the trumpet to awaken
the Home Guards te the emergency.
Director Ingraham expected a panto
mime, but Mary had learned the lip-
pucker and the Dream-control in her
Littlest netjei" days, so sne delivered
the sweet brass notes without discord
or flat. '
It seems just like day before yester
day to Miss Corlnne Griffith, film star
the afternoon in New Orleans when
in short dresses she stole away from
her governess to see Blanche Walsh in
More Than Queen, in the old Tulane
Theater. But then, you see. Miss Grif
fith is one of the youngest as well as
one of the moat beautiful and talented
of stars, so it isn't such a tax on her
memory, after all.
Six Months Old Baby
Had Pimples On Fore
head. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment Healed.
"When my baby was six months old
red pimples came on her forehead. We
were told it was only a rash, but the
pimples bean to spread
down her face and neck
and they irritated her.
They would be large in
the morning and get dry
and were soft. A neigh
bor told me of her suc
cessful use of the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and
we eot them. In a month
there were no signs of the pimples.
Shewashealed." (Signed) Mrs. George
Whyte, Condon, Oregon, Jan. 4, 1917.
It is so easy to prevent skin and scalp
troubles by using Cuticura Soap, and no
other, for all toilet purposes, assisted
now and then by touches of Cuticura
Ointment to first signs of pimples,
rashes, dandruff or irritation. Bathe
with Cuticura Soap and hot water, dry
lightly and apply Cuticura Ointment.
At once the itching ceases, sleep and
rest follow, and complete healment in
most cases results in continued use of
these fragrant, super-creamy emollients.

Suggestions Meet Approval Because
They Are Along Lines "of Our
Own Expressed Attitude,"
Reichstag Is Informed.
COPENHAGEN1. Aug. 22. A Berlin
dispatch quotes Chancellor Mlchaelis
before the main Reichstag committee
Tuesday in part as follows:
"It is easily understood, in view of
the attitude of our enemies, that, as
the German press maintains, It is lm
possible for us to make fresh peace
proposals."
The Chancellor here quoted the Ber
lin Vorwaerts, tho Socialist organ, to
the effect that responsibility for the
prolongation of the war rested upon
the allies, and that for Germany there
was only one alternative "to defend
ourselves and our kin."
"I think," he continued, "this is the
general feeling of our people. It is in
such a situation as this that I now
submit to you the peace proposal con
tained In the Pope's note. The con
tents of the note, I believe, are known
to all of you."
Peace Suggestions Dented.
"I cannot take up any definite propo
sltion regarding the material tenor of
the proposals or go into any details
concerning them until an agreement is
reached with our allies.
"it Is only possible for me to explain
my views in general terms. I oppose
the opinion that the Pope s proposal
was Inspired by the central powers. It
was due to the spontaneous decision of
the head of the Catholic Church.
"If'I must speak with reserve with
regard to detail I can say that it cor
responds generally to our own ex
pressed attitude. We are sympatheic
to every attempt to inspire the thought
of peace among the war-weary people,
and we especially greet the move of
the Pope, which. In my opinion, was
based on an earnest desire for im
partiality and justice.
Honorable Peace Desired.
"I sum up in this way:
" 'The note was not initiated by us,
but was advanced on the spontaneous
initiative of the Pope. We greet with
sympathy the Pope's efforts by a dur
able peace to make an end of the war
of peoples.'
"Regarding the answer of the note:
We are communicating with our al
lies, but the negotiations have not yet
been, concluded. For the present I am
unable to enter upon a closer discus
sion of the material points, but 1 am
ready to discuss the matter further
with the committee until the answer
is ready. I express the hope that com
mon labor will bring us nearer the
realization of what all desire an hon
orable peace for tho fatherland.

The Danger of Imitations.
AN OHIO druggist writes to "The Practical Druggist," a prominent New York
Drug Journal, as follows : "Please furnish formula for Castoria. All the
formulas I have worked with are either ineffective or disagreeable to administer."
To this "The Practical Druggist" replies : "We do not supply formulas for
proprietary articles. We couldn't if we wanted to. Your experience with imitative
formulas is not surprising, but just what is to be expected. When Castoria is
wanted, why not supply the genuine. If you make a substitute, it is not fair or
right to label it Castoria. We can give you all sorts of laxative preparations for
children, but not Castoria, and we think a mother who asks for Castoria would not
feel kindly toward you if you gave her your own product under such a name."
No mother with a spark of affection for her child will overlook the signa
ture of Chas. H. Fletcher when buying Castoria.
