K-t Pioto plays TNSPIRATION" is the title of the ' fire-reel Mutual maaterpicture which begin" at the Majestic today to continue through the week. - This film is one of the most note worthy products of the Thanhouser tudlo, according to its advance no- tices. It pictures the rise to fame ' . and fortune of Audrey Munson, art : model. who was selected from many ' applloants to pose for the figures on the Maine monument and other heroic ,v statuary. ; ' ' Miss Munson, who is called the American Venus, is an advoeate of exercise as a means of perfecting the feminine figure. "Exercise twice a day." she says There re a number of systems that - may be followed, but the main thing '; Is to keep at it. Make It as much a part of the days routine as dressing." At last Mark Twain is in the movies. "The Prince and the Pauper," adapted from his story, will be at the Peoples this week, beginning to- . day, with Marguerite Clark playing ; Loth prince and pauper. - Though "The Prince and the Pau- - per" has been extremely successful as a stage vehicle, the limitations of ' the theater made it necessary to go construct the story that the two main characters did rot appear on tho stage at the same time, since their marked resemblance made it nec?s- snr.y that they should be played by the same person. in the film production this diffi culty is entirely eliminated, Margue:- - ito Clark appearing as the royal child and the beggar simultaneously. Realizing that double exposure for its own sake is no longer new, tho . directors have introduce it only - "When absolutely necessary, and here . with rare effect.

Gardner Sul liran's new play, Matrimony," which Will be given in the Triangle program at the Columbia theatre for the first four days of this week, gives Miss Julia Dean the opportunity convinc ingly to answer this query. She cer . talnly arouses the neglectful husband by her open flirtations with hia men , friends. Miss Dean scores twice in the play, and it la by the reversal in character. ; makeup and manner. First, she is the fond wife, who waits on every nod and beck of her lord. Aa her solicitation for his comfort and happiness in " creases bis indifference likewise in creases. Then he starts to pay open and marked attentions to the women around him. The climax comes at a dinner, when he utterly ignores his wife for a . acatter brained young thing in flashy and scant attire. Next appears' Miss Dean, likewise gowned in extreme -mode. She loses her sedateness and .- becomes a lively, enclianting young person. She is so full of good spirits If . and vivacity that all the men flock around her. Her husband sees her here with one admirer, there with another, till he , begins to think she is the most de ;. irable woman in the world.
