' Thurston Hall Is being sued again for divorce. This happens to Thurston annually. The first suit was Insti tuted while he was leading man at the Baker, two seasons ago, and the case was threshed out in San Francisco, whither the actor had gone to play at the Alcazar. The case was compro mised. Last year It sprung up with the daffodils and robins of April, and early November saw It squashed once more. Now Its revival is on again. Mr. Hall last season played the title role in a. production of "Ben Hur," and Amy Dale, the damsel In the case who Is names as co-respondent, la playing with one of the "Merry Widow" com panies. She was with Thurston Hall when he was in Portland, a tiny little Dresden china type In blue and gold, rne real Mrs. Hall was Lucille Mary Perry, a dancer, and was married to Hall in 1906. The papers were served on Miss Dale in Winnipeg, and on Mr. Hall in Pittsburg, where he is head ing the Harry Davis stock company. The engagement of Rita Ross, niece of Charles J. Ross, to Mike Donlln Is admitted by Miss Ross, who Is In Mil waukee this week with Mr. Ross and Mabel Fenton in their travesty on "Cleopatta," in which she has a bit of a part. Mr. Donlin says the wedding will take place at the conclusion of the world's tour of the Giants, with which team he formerly played. Mr. Donlln's first wife was the late , Mabel Hlte. ' The Harry Thaw pictures have been turned down by the German authori ties. I . a a ' Says a headline "Individual Travels JTwelve Thousand Miles to Marry." I Yes the Individual was a woman. I Muriel Hope, who plays Jane Palmer with Henry Miller in "The Rainbow," Is a former Pacific Coast actress and has leaped into metropolitan attention in almost fairy story way. For two peasons she has been with Mr. Miller's company. Miss Hope is a contributor Cf short stories to magazines and is tha author of two vaudeville sketches. Next Summer she plan3 to take up newspaper work. "Not that I think editors will come clamoring for my services," she says smilingly, "but be cause I want to learn the ins and outs of the game, so I can use it in my literary work. Because I am an actress and Intend to keep on being one. Is not any reason that I cannot develop other talents. Is It?" Miss Hope is an Amer ican girl, born of English-Russian par entage. She so strongly resembles Madame Nazimova In features that thv famous Russian actress has given Miss Hope a huge photograph of herself, autographed, "To my only real double. and I'm said to have a dozen." Georgia Woodthorpe, who plays the role of the ancient nurse, NarJIs, In "Kismet," In which Otis Skinner is coming to the Coast this season, may easily claim the distinction of being the younirest old-timer now appearing MAJESTIC THEATER Programme Today and Monday FIVE KIT IX REELS.

In her theat rical, recollections, to a period that seems very remote indeed to the aver age playgoer. She has appeared on the stage with such old-time celebrities as J. B. McCullough, Madame Ristori, Charles Fechter, Harry Montague, Dion Boucicault, Edwin Booth, Adelaide Nlelson, Mary Anderson and Barton Hill. Most of these appearances with noted players of a past generation were made when Miss Woodthorpe was a child actress In the stock company at the old California Theater In San Fran cisco. Ethel Grey-Terry, of Baker stock about six years ago, was one of the leading lights in "The Smouldering Flame," which burned itself out In one weak glimmer, with the aid of the Gerry Society. The author of the play was William Le grand Howland, a Philadelphia newspaper man. Aside from what they were pleased to call its ridiculous climax, the critics said there were one or two lines of good writing in the play. Also they said that the theme that of the maternal denied Is so big a. one that only a genius of the caliber of a Brleux would be JustlHed In handling It At tlie Tlieatero Oon tinned frtm Page 1. to Russia. The next day the Secretary of War discovers that the plans have been copied and enlists the aid of the Secret Service to ferret out the thief. It is found that Rosa, the confederate of the Ambassador, has taken passnge for Europe and the wife of the Sec retary of War boards the same ship, and through a bit of clever strategy discovers the copy of the plars in the slippers of the Russian woman. Every Inch of the film is exciting. An Essanay comedy drama entitled "The Woman Scorned" deals cleverly with a pretty subject and there are many highly amusing situations. It Is the story of a little 10-year-old girl who falls desperately in love with her big sister's beau and who becomes highly Indignant when she discovers that the young couple are to be mar ried. Pathe Weekly, with many highly en tertaining animated pictures of world wide events, is scheduled. Matt Den nis, tl.e popular baritone, and Karn's orchestra furnish the musical features for the bill. "STOP THIEF!" SOOX HERE Sensationally Funny Farce Opens AVeelc's Run Next Sunday. "Stop Thief," the new farce to be pre sented at the Heilig Theater Sunday, November and all week, with a spe cial matinee Wednesday and Saturday, by Cohan & Harris, is said to lift an audience to exalted attitudes of delight by a process of satirical analysis of human nature. The plot is ingenious. On the eve of the wedding of an absent-minded man's daughter to a youth who Is troubled with fits of kleptomania, a' new lady's maid Is Introduced to the house. She is a professional crook, and with the aid of another of the same stripe, but the opposite sex. lays ingenious- clans for relieving the house of a heavy bur den of wedding presents. Deogan, her confederate, finds it easy going. The young kleptomaniac believes Doogan to be a detective and accuses himself of having removed the valuables that are already beginning to disappear. The absent-minded parent hands Doogan nis money ana asKs him to keep it for him. The other members of the family hasten to confide to him the where abouts of all their valuables. And so on the play tangles up into many ludi crous situations, reaching a sensation ally funny denouement. One year In New York playing night ly to capacity houses is the record of this funny farce.
