NEWS “THE CHICKEN IN THE CASE” AT GRAND THEATER TODAY Owen 'Moore and “The Chicken in the Case.”” That will be the comedy combination on view at the Grand theater for two days starting today, So Mr, and Mrs. Screen' Fan, if you have smiles to smile, prepare to smile them then. In his latest Selznick Picture, Mr. Moore 'has been provided with anoth- er of his well known and exclu- sive type of screen characters, and it is prophesied that his role of Steve Perkine will be long remembered as the funniesy thing he has ever done. The story, by Victor Heerman, is straighti comedy verging into farce, and the hero is a young man who tries to delude his aunt into believing he has married and settled down, whereas he is merely single and try- ing to get enough money to settle up. To carry out the deception he enlists the aid of his pal, Percy Jones, from whom he persuades the “loan’ of his newly acquired wife. What happens from then on ls better described in action than in words, and the action, and there is lots of it, will be found in this most hilarious screen comedy. In adidtion to the star the cast contalns the names of Katherine Per- ry, Teddy Sampson, Vivian Ogden, Edgar Nelson and Walter Walker. “1A Dollars Worth,” two-part Cen- tury comedy, Is also on the Grand theater program for tonight and Sat- urday. “THE LEOPARD WOMAN” AT THE GRAND THEATER SUNDAY Stewart Edward White struck a popular appeal when he wrote his most famous novel, *“The Leopard Woman.” Now J. Parker Read, Jr., with his picturization of White’s Kt- erary masterpiece starring House Peters and Louise Glaum, which comes to the Grand theater next Sun- day and Monday, seeks to win the paudits of the nation's lovers of fie- tion and photoplay. A new story in old clothes to re- verse the bromide, is “The Leopard Woman,” and it reveals the elemental in the natures of man and' woman in all its flery, variant glory. It shows that there is more to the love of a woman than meek acquiescence to the humble petition of the adoring male, and more to the love of a man, inei- dentlly, than the aforesaid humble petition! ? “DEAD OR ALIVE” AT REX THEATER SATURDAY ‘Marln Sais will appear in a west- ern feature called “Dead or Aliye’ to me seen here next week. This pret- ty little star will support Jack Hoxie |l who is better known as the “dare devil” of the sereen. ‘“Dead or Alive. is a western feature and is the third of the Jack Hoxie pictures. Max(n Sais has many friends In this town 1 is considered oune of the greatest western female stars in pictures today. No stunt is too Jan- gerous for her to perform and she Is a sthoroughly at home on a horse's back as most girls are in s rock- ing chair. It is said that “Dead or Allve” is Jack Hoxie's best picture and one of the reasons for this is the fact that Marin Sais supports him so well. OF THE THEATRES i “STRANGER THAN FICTION” AT THE REX THEATER TODAY | From ‘the standpoint of audience interest, as well as (with regard to an artistic character portrayal, Kath- erine MacDonald's latest . feputre “Stranger Than Fiction,” at the Rex theater today, is among the best pic- tures (in which the screudi’s ‘most beautiful woman has appeared. For the reason that *‘Stranger than ) Fiction” gives.'Miss MacDonald an opportunity’ to ‘appear in surround- ings ‘vastly ‘different from the usual valls of splendid, this production is a distinct departure. 2 As Diane Drexel, daughter of a New York society family, Miss Mac- Donald portrays the role of a girl bor- ed by the social routine which seems a mnecessary. but painful task. S0 when the guests at onc of her society affairs are yobbed of their jewels in a sensational loot, the g'rl welcomes the opportunity to aid in apprehend- ing the Black Heart gang, a-band of crooks who have the police force at bay. The girl’s experiences lead her into the tenements, the lower Bast Side and the Ghetto, where she runs squarely into the dens of the lower wold., Strange and exd.ting are her experiences, despite the fact that they ara mixed with hume when sche meets a little orphan lad, known as “Freckles.” This part is played by Wesley Barry, whom Miss MacDon- ald secured for her .picture by ar- rangement with Marshall = Neilan. “Stranger Than Fiction” is released as. an Associated First National at- traction and was directed by .J. A: Barry. f A MIDNIGHT BELL” AT THE REX THEATER SUNDAY The last few years has witnessed a remarkable revival of. interest in the small town. Broadway ro longer forms the locale for all the books, plays and stories; in fact, practically all of our best-known writers and dramatists are awakening to the fact that they have neglected a fruitful field for romance, drama and comedy the small town: A Midnight Bell,” Charles Ray’s picturization of the famous Charles Hoyt play, wi{ch will be shown at Rex theater Sunday, ‘illustrates life in a small town with a remarkable degree of fidelity, and demonstrates that a picture of this kind can be as interesting as one based on metropol.- tan existence. Amoang the types of small-town characters to he found ‘in| this pro- duction are the general store own- er, who “‘“keeps everything” but doesn’t sell much; the breezy sales- ,|man from the city, :who tries to in- veigle the susp.cious merchant into ‘buying something he: doesn't want; the station agent, who feels his im- portance ag;the ilocal representative of the big r8ilroad; the real estate dealer. who will sell you anything from & downtown tite to a cemetery ot:. the banker, viewed with awe by most of the inhaibitants because’of the large sums of money he handles daily; and the love-sick boys and maids. The. lives théy lead may be slow; considered from the viewpoint 'of the resfdent of New York and Chicago, but in a majority of cases they pity their city brothers and sisters for their lack of neighborliness and the fach pace they have to go to make their liveihood. Extreme care has been' exercised in making the settings for “A Mid- night Bell,” and its Main street is a duplicate of thousands throughout the country. MYSTERY FOR MANY YEARS Fascination in Stories Told of the “Lost” Son of the Unfortunate Marie Antoinette. One of the several personages who cropped up to claim the French throne as the lost dauphin after the gulllotining of Louls XVI and Marie Antoinette, was an American, one Eleozor Wlillams, a missionary among the Indlans. Willlams produced alleged evidence showing that he had been brought from France as a child of 10 years and placed In the keeping of an Indian halfbreed at Ticonderoga, N. Y. The American “dauphin” never at- tempted to gain official recognltion, but his followers put out & fleod of literature. Several new books on Willlams and his clalms have been published quite recently. The question of the lost dauphin’ "has had France guessing for moke than 100 years, or from that day in 1795 when the mutilated body of a boy, 10, ostensibly the dauphin, was taken from the Temple prison In Parls. But half of KFrance refused to believe. So every so often, in after years, when a clalmant arose styling himself the heir to the throne, there were always plenty to welcome him. There are sald to have been about 40 “lost dauphins” in the 50 years fol- lIowing the death of Louis and Marle Antolnette. The Old, Old Story, Six of them were engaged In g« friendly game of nickel ante. They had been playing for only about two hours and the evening was yet young, when Jones suddenly pushed back his chatr and declared: “CGee whiz, fellows! T just ‘hap- vened to remember I promised my- wife I'd be home by 11 o'clock. I'll have 10 leave right now.” The members of the game were old- timers, though, and the sudden awak- euing of Jones' conscience dtdn't fool enybody. TRRoberts voiced the sentl- went of the crowd: “Gee, Jonesy, old boy, T dldn’t know you was that much winner!” | Kept Young by Love of Music, Francols Gossec, peer of any of the Eighteenth century French composers, worked vigorously ‘and enthuslastical- Iy at his music to the time of his death. Even at seventy-eight, he had the freshness of youth not only in his nablts, but also In the music which he wrote. As an instance of how tenaclously Le treasured life and the juvenile spirit, when asked to attend the fu- ueral of his nd, Mehul, his jocose xeply was: * excuse me; I should be giving Death a hint to take me.” When he was well past four-score years, he daily hobbled to the Opera Comique, One day he fainted in the street. “Where do you wish to be taken?” someone asked, as hi§ consclousness returned, Quickly recovering his usual spirits, he: nal -replied, “To the ' Opera ComIque Give Credit to Egyptian, No one knows who wrote the first book, but the claim fs made that the world’s first. great work came from the pen of an Egyptian named Athotes, It ‘was a history of his own nation written 'In ‘2112 B.

The Latins, who excelled in literature long before any’ of ‘their nelghbors, had thought of the publishing business, were gal- lant enough to ascribe the inspiration to ‘Europa, daughter. of Agenor, king of Phoenicln, who lived in 1494 B.
