driven Into tha wrong; .path, through no
fault of her own, and -of her after life,
when through the death of a cousin, aha
has Inherited not only wealth but tha
name of the relative, as well, and how
starting: a new life under these ctreum-
stances, she rawlna her soul, though in
. ao doing she sacrifices her own happiness
, with the man she loves. The part of
Felicia Hindemarsh, afterward Mra.
Dane, la wonderfully aulted to the lovely
Miss Frederick, and as aha herself says,
aha acts" the part with keen relish, be
cause It Is the type of character ahe haa
always wanted to portray. Tha rest of
the cast has been selected with great
care so as to give a proper setting to
the star work ; prominent parts being
taken by Amelia Summervllle, Tda Dar
ling. Frank Loses and Leslie Austin. The
interior scenes, which all are supposed
to be In the homes of wealthy people,
are said to be of great beauty, many of
, them were taken In the homes of some
: personal friends of Miss Frederick who
have one of the ahow places of New
., Tork, The exterior scenes were taken
, at one of the fine country estates at
Tonkera, N. T. The gowna worn by the

,'the object of much thought on the part
; of the actress.
LIBERTT Taylor Holmes is being
featured In "Uneasy Money," the at
traction at the Liberty for the first four
days of the week, beginning with Sun
day. In the play, screen dramatisation
of Pelham Grenvllle VVodehouse's story,
which appeared In the Saturday Evening
Tost, the comedian as Lord Dawllsh, has
a role that suits him admirably and he
In vpry happy In his Interpretation of
the part, never overdoing It and at the
same time extracting every ounce of
comedy from the funny situations and
every bit of effect from the dramatic
ones. The story is that of a young Eng.
Huh nobleman, Lord Dawlish, who In
herlta a very big sum of money from i
cranky American, who should by rights
have left hla fortune to a niece In the
United States. In an effort to light the
wronK. Lord Dawlish visits thfc latter
country incognito and the complications
that ensue are both sentimental and
amusinrp. Virginia Valli has the role of
the niece, and Arthur Bates plays "Nutty
JUtcombe," her scapegoat brother.
QUNSET "A Mormon Maid." featur
f Ing Mae Murray, is the first of the
week film which the Sunset will show
This producelon has the advantage of
a most novel setting the extremely
early days of the Mormon settlement In
Utah, with its dramatic "avenging
angels or the Mormons, a band who
were the forerunners of the Ku-Klux
Klan. the lenfatlitinl feature of "The
Birth of a Nation" production. The
earlier band were silent masked and
aheeted sentinels of the sect, upon the
robes . of whom were blaxoned a huge
eye, symbolising their mission, which
was to hps and know all that went on,
within the boundaries of their territory
The story Is that of a young Gentile
girl pursusd by a Mormon elder, who
wants her aa one of bis many wives,
and a Mormon youth, who loves her
and eventually saves her. The cast is
excellent, including Mae Murray, as
Dora, 1 lobar t Bosworth as John Hogue
Frank Borsage as Tom Rigdon, Noah
Beery as Darius Burr and Edythe
Chapman, an actress well known In
Portland, as the wife of James Nelll,
as Nancy Hogue. "A Mormon Maid" at

PEOPLES Douglas Fairbanks. In his
latest picture "A Modern Musketeer,"
which Is to be shown at the Peoples for
the week, beginning today, performs
some of his most, amaxlng feats, many
of them taking place in the lofty peaks
of the Grand Canyon of Arizona, 8000
feet above the level of the sea. and
along the dangerous precipices -of that
region. In addition to the usual Fair
banks sensational acrobatic stunts, the
play has humor and much sentiment,
showing the star In a many sided role,
that gives him an opportunity to dls
play the hlstronlc ability that made him
one of the best liked actors of the speak
ing stage. The supporting cast Is, as in
all of the Fairbanks releases, unquali
fiedly good. Marjorle Daw,wlnsome and
charming, plays opposite the star ; Frank
Campeau is an Indian guide ; Eugene
Ormonde the villain, and the other roles
are taken; by Kathleen Kirkham and
Tully Marshall.. The story Is that of
Ned Thatcher, who through prenatal in
fluence inherits the spirit of jrArtagnan,
one 01 me three musketeers of the
Dumas story, and who Is continually try
ing to help strange women, 'through the
old time chivalry with which h els lm

and the continuation Is the tale of the
adventures of their party In a trip

who covets a white bride, and of her
rescue by Ned.
STAR-The "Submarine Eye." which
started at the Star yesterday, and
. Will continue for the week, is not, as its
.title might Imply, the. name of an under
sea fighter. In this particular case it is
an inverted periscope, which on being
lowered beneath the water, reveals to the
gaser all the secrets of the deep. This
particular "submarine eye" Is used by
the hero to recover a lost sunken treas

under-water periscope, in which no one
but himself has faith. Just as he is
about to lose courage, he is Invited,
at the instigation of Dorothy Morgan
(Barbara Tennant). a youthful heiress,
to Join a treasure hunting expedition
that has been organised by Cyrus Mor
gan (Charles Slattery), lather of Dor
othy, and. a man of great wealth. Their
private yacht is used for the hunt, in
the pursuance of which the succeeding
thrilling events occur. The production
is made by George and Ernest William
son, who by their invention have made
possible deep sea photography. Among
the exciting moments of the film, are
those In which Buller, the native diver,
really rescues Bamett from the . shark
Infested waters of the west, and other
wonderful pictures of the depths of the
Sea.
AJESTIC Madge Kennedy, the
Goldwyn star. Is the attraction at
the Majestic this week. Her film vehicle
Is "Nearly Married," by Edgar Selwyn,
which as a play, took Broadway by
storm last season. "Nearly Married"
surpasses even "Baby Mine," Miss Ken
nedy's previous success. In its number
of amusing situations and matrimonial
tangles. There is a nearly bride, an
almost wedding, and a torrential rain
storm, that on account of climatic
weather conditions In New Jersey, had
to be built by the Goldwyn technical
staff, and one of the most amusing
scenes is that in which 1 the mud be
spattered crowd of actors are seen navi
gating this artificial weather. The
story starts with some of the above
mishaps, then goes on to the adventures
of Betty Griffin (Madge Kennedy) and
her husband, who agree to disagree'
from the moment they are married.
Finally Betty's brother, who is a law
yer, proposes that ahe get a divorce;
Hubby also decides to do likewise,
and they mutually decide to get a "pro-
fessional correspondent" to simplify
matters. Eventually, they make it up
and elope, but In the meantime "brother?
arrives with the news that the divorce
has been granted; then the fun begins
to be fast and furious and amusing
situations follow each other so rapidly
that the audience is simply convulsed.
The supporting cast is an excellent one,
Including Frank Thomas, Mark Smith.
Alma Tell. Richard Barthelnes and
Hedda Hopper.

Cost of Dentistry Higher
"London. Jan. 7. Owing to the cost
of materials and the scarcity of dental
mechanics, charges for dental work
have increased enormously. 'In many
districts the "shilling extraction" has
gone up to Zs d, while the notices
advertising cheap aeta of false teeth
have been withdrawn.
Ticket Speculation
Begun by Dumas
The practice of speculating In theatre
tickets was started by the elder Dumas.
Ths celebrated author was In the habit
of patronising a Paris barber, named
Porcher, and one day the latter, while
shaving the novelist, asked Jilm why
he did not sell the tickets he had been In
the habit of giving away. The author
of "The Three Musketeers" is said to
have asked to whom they could be sold ;
to which the barber replied: "Why, to
me. lf you like." Upon being questioned
as to what he -would do with them, he
refused to answer, but insisted that one
or two would not be sufficient for his
purpose, he must have all the dramatist
could obtain, and every day at that.
Dumas, who was at that time greatly in
need of money, on being assured that
Porcher would pay for them, immediately !
concluded the . bargain. Porcher, short
ly after this, gave up barbering and
after making similar agreements with
other leading dramatists, devoted his en
tire time to ticket speculation and short
ly became rich.
