Kalic Malloy is an awkward little laun- dress who loses her job because she burns 2 silk shirt and then takes up a career as a manicurist in a crude Western hotel only to be lifted through marriage into the heart of New York’s smart set. And Katie Malloy, as played by Alice Lake, is| one o the most captivating persons who ever appeared on the silver sheet. Miss Lake recently won golden opinions by her work in “Should a Woman Tell?” and in “Shore Acres”. But in “The Misfit Wife” she finally comes to her own. She Isn’t a heroine of the screen, so much as a heroine from real life. She makes you feel somehow that you've actually known Katie Malloy, and, knowing her, she makes you love her. When she’s in trouble, she touches your sympathies as would an old friend for whom you had unmeasured affection. You re- joice in her happiness; you are thrill- ed by her adventures. Her husband in the play {s Forrest Stanley. The cast includes Jack Livingston, Leota Lorraine, Helen Pillsbury, Billy Gettinger, Edward Martindel, Gra- ham Pettie, Frederick Vroom and Jim Blackwell. The screen play is an ~daptition by Lois Zellner and A. P. Younger of Julie Herne's stage p! “The Outsider.” The photography iz by Arthur Reeves and the specia! art settings by John Holden. Edward Mortimer_was director. BUCK JONES IN “TWO0 MOONS” AT TEX THEATER SATURDAY Buck Jones, the daring William Fox cowboy star, is announced as the attraction at the Rex theater Satur day in his latest picture “Two Moons" which is declared to be the most en- tropaine in which this rapidly ris- ing young western luminary has yet appea ed. Adapted from Robert Wel- les Ritchie’s well-known tale of the WyomIng cattle country and the feud between the cattlemen and the sheep herders, this photoplay is said to give this handsome actor and d~redev! hi~ greatest opportunity to win mew ad- mirers. Jones enacts the role of Origina Bill Blunt, a cattleman, who com- plicates the bitter hatred between the cowmen and the sheep herders by falling on love with the wild and tempestuous daughter of a slain sheerman. There are said to be some brand-new thrills in the picture. One of the moments of white hot interert is when Original, with a mocking smile, dares the girl to shoot him. Edward J. LeSaint adapted the pic- ture fiom the story and directed it. Carol Holloway, a winsome actress. hus the part of Hilma Ring, the sheepman’s daughter. “DANGEROUS BUSINESS” AT REX SUNDAY AND MONDAY Making believe that you are mar- ried to a man who is not your hus- band is mighty dangerous business, even of you h.ve the best of inten- tions. Constance Talmadge demon- strates this fact in “Dangerous Busi- ness,” her latest picture, which opens an engagement of two days at the Rex theater on Sunday. She finds herself in a peck of trouble, but leave it to Connie to extricate herself from any kind of difficulty. VAUDEVILLE TONIGHT AT GRAND THEATEF Edith Snyder, a young lady with a pleasing personality who can put over a song and has “some’” whistle. will open the vaudeville program which is to be shown at tue Grand the:ter tonight only. Miss Snyder's song numbers coupled with her unique accompaniment as a whis- tling artist, makes her's a worthy at- traction. Lawrence and Harvey are billed as “The original Australian Duo” in dances, and comedy that is strictly original. Deems and Davis follow in “A Debate on Women,” a dress suit comedy. Father and son meet at home to celebrate the father’s third wedding. Banjo and dances. together with some song mnumbers, are introduced during the act. The Boyces close the bill in an interesting exhibition of novel acrobatic work, featuring Millie Boyce, the Tiny Sou- brette.

One_of the biggest and strongest casts of favorite picture players seen imr any recent. production surrounds the popular young star.

The result is that a photographer steps out of an ad-| i jacent closet and secures a flachlight | {of the rotund comedian with his| arms about a girl who is supposed to ! ibe engaged to the biggest political !boss in- the city. Rapid-fire compli-; ications ensue for “Fatty”, but ev-| ‘erything turng out merrily in the end. “The Life of the Party” was jadapted from Irvin 8. Cobb’s Satur- day Evening Post story. It will be shown at _the Elko theater next Sun- |day and Monday. i | “DWELLING PLACE OF LIGHT” AT GRAND TOMORROW | The Grand theater announces as the featured attraction beginning Saturday “The Dwelling Place of Light,” a Benjamin B. Hampton pro- duction made from the great novel of the same name by Winston Churchill. “The Dwelling Place of Light” is > id to tell a fascinating story of ‘fe as it is lived today, dealing, among other things, with a theme of universal appeal: the personal free- dom of women. It is in no sense of the word a suffrage picture, nor does that question play any part. It tells of the experience of “Janet Butler”, played by beautiful Claire Adams— and what befell her in her search for “The Dwelling Place of Lighi.” It is the fight of sex against ambi tion. Once, set apart from men and kept in her place in a greater or loss- er degree, this probiem cuntrontec only a comparatively small portion of wowankind. Now, over three- quarters of America’s young women are “working girls” for ambtiion «nd he wave of *‘eau 1 rights” movement over the country has -made rich riri= s1d poor alike go into some or- ganized fleld of endeavor where they mect men on an equal footing. What effect will the modern woman's in- timate business relations with mer have upon the world-old problem c! sex? It is but one angle of the fascinat- ing story, which is said to contain, [ v kmown element that goes .c' 'make for perfect screen entertain ment. i Besfdes Miss Adams the cast in-| cludes Robert McKim, King Baggot Aggle Herring, Lydia Knott, Lassie Young, William Mong, C. B. Murphy Ogden Crane, Beulah Booker and many other popular players. | Sing Sing Indian Name, Sing Sing prison, the stone, or rather dolomite marble bastile at Os- sining, N. Y., is rather appropriately named, according to authorities who trace the word back to the Indian lan- guage, and find that it means stony place. The town itself was originally cnlied Sing Sing. It is beautifully sit- ugted on the Hudson and commands, fr4m its elevated site, many fine views. It was settled by white peoplg about 1608, Some authorities say the Sin Sinck Indians were thereabonts at that time and attribute the name of the city to them. The prison was built there in 1826, when Capt. Elam Lynds took 100 convicts there and gave them orders to wall themselves In. In 1901 the town, after several un- successful attempts, changed its name to Ossining, becahse of objections due to the assoclation of its name with the prisor IT WAS A WINNER | " FOR ME,” HE SAYS “I'm Enjoying Perfect Health,” States Jargenson After Tak- ing Tanlac. ““‘After hearing so much about Tan- as certainly proved a winner for me,” said W.

This is the play in which Mme. Petrova starred so successfully on the American stage several years ago and which created a furore throughout Europe, being acclaimed one of the strongest dramas of the age. It was chosen as Miss Tal- madge’s first vehicle under her new management, as the title role affords the (beautiful and talented young pleyer the greatest opportunity of her career for emotional acting. As directed by Allan Dwan, the picture excells in its rapidity of ac- tion, building up its big climaxes in a fashion that is certain to hold the most hardened picture patron spell-bound.

Tell them the party is to be tomorrow evening in the village park.” { “At what hour, Fairy Queen?” they asked. s “At the wonderful hour of mid- | night,” said’the Fairy Queen. i So the Fairies hurried off to give the ; invitations to their other friends.

An lntereutlpg personal experience was an invitation to dinner with a real Roumanian family (in Bucha- rest). What seemed to me a count- | less array of dishes contaiting most delectable daintles was arranged on a sideboard In the apartmenf where we .were received. First came pastrama, small pleces of mutton grilled with zuika, a kind of ‘native rum, This pastrama has a marvelous flavor. But a person eat- ing it for the first'time cannot swal low it. He chews it and chews it like a plece of American ‘gum, first in one cheek 'and tlien” In' the other, without knowing what to do with it. It ts an embarrassing situatign, because the pastrama S scerved in the reception room and’ you are expected to talk while ygu’are eating it. 1 reccived my portion in an unguarded moment while//conversing with an enchanting girl An.a pompadour. Then we went intd the dining room. How gay it had been. The village purk was delighted to be the scene of so much gaiety and life. To think of having two partiés in one evening. The first one given by = the snow people who had used. the park lights to help them in their light- | ing arrangements. ‘Then the moon had helped too. Ol Mr. Moon was wearing his handsome crescent shaped costume which he is very fond of wearing for parties. ! The snow was still sparkling and old Mr. Moon was shining brightly when the party began. Over a white house, near the village park Mr. Moon shed his rays and made it look very bright and white and like the winter scene. | All the streets were very still and the people In the villuge were sleeping peacefully. ' “I like to light up yonder white | house,” said Mr. Moon, “and keep it | bright-so T can keep my eye on it and | look after it during the night when | the people inside are sleeping. “In the daytime it stands ‘out so nice and white on its white snow- | zround and then when the bushes are all brown and bare the pine trees on the hill stand so.straight and tall I know it will be well looked after, for tbe pine trees have promised me al- ways to protect It. “And now I will shine for your par- ty, Fairy Queen.” ‘Then the dancing began and the stars twinkled merrily as they tried to dance too. They tried all the new- est steps just as the fairies and their guests were doing, and there was a great deal of laughter and dancing up in the sky that night too. Then old King Snow came along Snow Flakes, and he said. | “I have brought presents: for all your guests, Fairy Queen.” | “As he spoke the fresh snow fell | lightly on the ground and over the Buests, “I have brought jewels for every- one,” said he. And he undid a huge snow package in which were countless sparkling jew- els, which looked so bright and glor- | fous, 1 All of the guests were given some | Jewels as were all of the fairies and | the snow ladies and gentlemen and , snow children decorated themselves | h jewels too. i “No one can ever rob us of our jewels,” said old King Snow, “for we | have jewels which can't be caught or captured or held. | “That is because our jewelers make | the jewels in such a way that they | «can never be captured or stolen.” Then old King Snow gave some of | the jewels from his jewel box to the ! iced trees and they sparkled too, aud | it almost seemed as though the whole world were sparkling that night of the Fairy Queen’s party! ‘One: course followed the other.
