A child had been stolen from a rich family, and the kidnappers in a scrawl from the “Black Hand” had appointed this place for the transfer of the moncy demanded as ransom, the signal _o! identity to be a rose. The detective is there, masquerading as the new manager. He questions the Italian, believing him to be the agent, and finally offers him the bills, ten thousand dollars stipulated in the let- ter of warning. In point of fact the Italian had come to buy a rose to place on the breast of his dead chiid run over by an automobile, which, presently appears, was that of the father of the kidnapped child. The Italian recital of his history and of his love for his dead child was pa- thetic In the extremec. He resists ar- rest, and s only saved from it and its possible serlous consequences by the recovery and unexpected return moment, Mr. Beban played sketch in vaudeville for many years and then produced it, expanded Into & play. The present production is in films and it has its many advan- tages. With the facllities of the camera, We have the attic'rooms of the Ttal- ian we see the little daughter, thélit- tle mother alone in the home of these two, preparing the meal, and then welcoming her father. Christmas is at hand, and we have a number of episodes relating to the season, which are very good indeed and of a. variety that thé spoken form of play would not and could not coni pass. The ¢hild is seen at play in the street with other children, and then we have the really remarkabis scéne of the automobile dashing on, skidding and crushing her. The story has been amplified in that a youhg spendthrift persuades a friend, cash ier at the flower shop, to make use of the money from the safe to pro- vide the riotous entertainment at w supper. The ycung man promises Lo return the money the next day after the reading of his father's will, from Which he expects a fortune. He is to replace the money. He suddenly con- ceives the plan of stealing his bro- thers child and making it appear the act of Italion tlackmailers. “An Alien” comes to Fox's tomo: row afternoon when it opens a thres day engagement playing Friday, Sat- urday and Sunday. Mr. Jores, thc theater organist has secured the ori- ginal musical score used at the Az- tor theater, where it had an unpre- cedented run. Tomorrow and Satur- day afternoon the prices at the mat- inee will be all seats 10 cents, while at the evening peformances the prices will be balcony all seats 10 cents, or- chestra twenty cents.

On Tuesday afternoon Mr. Ayres will be present at the stage REALLY REMARKABLE The sketch was entitled "‘The Sign | of the kidnapped child at the critical | the reception and will meet those in the | “War Has Thrown Into Women’s Laps All They Could Have Asked Fates to Give Them” ! “Let Weaker Sex Not Lose Their Heads, But Show Their Wisdom,” Says Ada Dow Currier Advocating Women Stage Managers, (By Alissa Franc in the New York people of this country are interested Tribune.) “Should women become stage man- agers?’ 1 asked Mrs. Ada Dow Cur- rier, the first feminine representative of their race and tribe. “Certainly. Every man speaking the absolute unvarnished truth would ad- mit that the mentality of the average woman is infinitely higher than that of the average man—no matter how much he bluffs himself—incidentally, it is mere cowardice on his part that | makes this fierce struggle against suf- frage.

E. J. Miles, to direct and produce grand opera for him. 1 took her into the chorus and then afterward brought her to New York to study with me the roles which were to make her fa- mous. “I have never in all my life met a human being with the power of con- centration and application of Julia Marlowe,” she says emphatically. ‘“After three years she made her debut at the Bijou theater under my direction—a brilliant, instantaneous success.” Help Struggling Artists. With their experience and their un- derstanding of women Mrs. Currier feels that women stage* managers will help struggling artists more than men, “for women so well understand the hardships of home life and sufferings connected therewith—their interest will perhaps be a more personal one.” “The development of women is sim- ply & question of time,” she affirms, “women have never had a chance up to the present. The war ’—with grim humor—“has thrown into their laps all they could ever have asked i the fates to give them—Ilet them not dom.” And then we talked about the most career—her three trips to China with her own companies, performing eigh- teen plays from musical comedy to Greek dramas.

Travers in leading roles, will be one of the big features of the show at Keeney's tonight. This won- derful Crawford story created a big sensation as a book and as a play and its picturization is said to be even more wonderful. In the screen production Miss Allen is said to have done the greatest work of her career. The acting is superbly done and there is nothing missing in the staging of the production to make it one of the most beautiful and wonderful of mo- | tion piciures. . The company gives the following synopsis of the story: Disinherited, illegitimated under the Italian law—her lover reported ! dead in Africa—heartbroken and | Chiaromonte Lecomes ‘‘The . White Sister,” devoting her life to good and the service of the Master. Called to nurse her dying aunt, Angela learns‘ the aunt stole her father's will. After five years, Lieutenant Giovanni Sev- eri, the lover, returns as from the dead. Seriously injured in an ex- plosion at the barracks where he is stationed, he determines to die unless Angela will narry him. She loves him more than she loves her life, but refuses marriage because of her vows as “The White Sister” A prince of the church, intervenes and promises to obtain from His Holiness the Pope a dispensation that will free her from her vows and allow her to marry. This brings happiness to everyone, including the Sister Superior of lh\* convent, who. Angela has learned, is her real mother, and sister to the woman, who, the always thought, was her parent. It is the most beautiful story ever written of a man’s devo- tiog and a woman's self sacrifice. “The White Sister’” will also shown tomorrow. John Barrymore will share honors with Miss Allen tonight. The popu- lar actor will be seen in the famous screen comedy, ‘‘Are You A Mason?"” This is a Famous Players Film com- pany feature in five reels. In addition to the big screen ferings, Keenecy's is offering splendid vaudeville attractions.

Yet he was very happy with his first wife and he appears to be very happy withhis second. If he is satisfied with the one how could he have been so devoted to the other and vice versa, is, as usual, the questions over which the neigh- borhood delights (o mull. They Appeal To Different Sides Of His Nature, Of course one answer is obvious enough—they appeal to different sides of his nature. Yet isn't there something more than that to the situation? Isn’t it possible that these women who to us appear so different, | e some deeper likeness which we cannot see, of which even the hushand may be unconscious, and yet which has helped attract him? Someone advanced this idea the other day and thence we drifted into a discussion as to whether this least common denominator could be applied to our 6wn last love affairs. How about it, reader friends, have the people that have attracted you from time to time been the same or different types? And if they have been of apparently different types has there been some least common de- nominator of similarity among them all? How Seldom We Marry Our Physical Ideal. In looking back over my own experiences, ranging from the little boy in the fifth grade with the beautiful voice to—well, 1 wont say to what—I can find no similarity in personal appearance. Grey eyes, dark hair and a lean face is the type of masculine good looks that I theoretically admire and only one possessed anything at all like this bill of features. That is another interesting thing about the matter, by the way, how seldom we fall in love with or marry the type of appearance we theoretically admire. An old friend of mine who always admired tall light men (“'They look 8o clean and fresh, my dear”) is now married to a short very dark man—and is absolutely satisfied, while the girl whose idea was a thin face with deep- set grey eves has married a rosy-cheeked, roundfaced man with prom- inent brown eyes. And she also appears quite content. A Character Common Demominator, To return to the main road: after diligent search I least cammon denominator among all my memories—a character and quietness of manner In reminiscent investigation of this sort I think there is a tendency to confuse the people who have attracted one with the people who have “een attracted by one. Quite a different thing, although it may ultimately result could find one certain reserve of It should be taken fron: | the pan as soon as it changes frou Indian | in mutual attraction, since the fact that someone admires you is a strong recommendation of their discrimination and good taste and makes you willing to become better acquainted and perhaps even paves the way to love, As someone has said, “Fill a woman full of self love and all that flows over will be yours.” It is an interesting fleld for reminiscénces.
