Oh, Missis Graham! Dear Missis Graham! Hide me somevere gveeck. Call Jim. He take me avay some- veres. Don't let dot skinny old devil coom by me any more. Oh, dear! Oh, dear!” In a passion of tears and sobs and | frenzied ejaculations Katie burst into the kitchen, which she had left with a | chuckie and a jest but a few mo- | ments before, and frantically shot the bolt in the door behind her as if she | feared pursuit. She caught hold of me with quivering fingers and poured out her wailing plea with her head against my shoulder. I wasn’'t particularly shocked at her tempestuous entrance, for I am used to Katie’s emotional outbursts. But the vehemencef o her sobs alarmed me on account of her con- dition. I knew that such emotion must be injurious to her. “Nothing shall harm you, Katie,” I sald, patting her bowed head as I would that of a frightened child. “You know you're safe here with me. Now stop crying, like a good girl, and tell me what has happened.” But it was several minutes before my little maid could control herself sufficiently to tell me what had oc- curred while she was helping my mother-in-law and Cousin Agatha un- pack after their unexpected arrival at our home. And when she did be- gin her story ‘there was a wildness in her eyes, a choking in her voice that told me she had been subjected 10 some unusually severe emotional ordeéal the time she had been absent from me..

I had seen her type of char- ity worker before, had known of the mental tortures they were capable of inflicting upon the helpless girls in their charge. It-takes the work of a dozen of the wonderful self-sacrificing women who give themselves to labor for erring girls to compensate for the harm done by the harsh, morbidly in- quisitive women like Cousin Agatha. “What did you do, Katie?” I asked, as she burst again into tempestuous sobbing at the thought of the scene through which she had passed. L knew how easily her attention was diverted, knew that if she began talk- ing again she would gradually quiet herself. “I joost look at her at first,” Katie replied, choking back her sobs. *“I not know for minit joost vot she mean.

It is probably the best thing that this gifted young star has ever offered to the public, and that is say- ing a great deal, as Miss Brockwell is now universally conceded to- one of the three best screen actresses in America. And “Conscience” is a positive revelation, both as to photo- graphic ingenuity, and dramatic con- which is intense- ly interesting in itself, is presented in the most novel manner imaginable. which is invariably fol- lowed immediately by five or ten min- utes of explanatory notes, scenes, etc.. all of which leads up to the action proper, “Conscience” opens at the gate of heaven, showing the Archan- zel Michael ejecting a number of fallen angels, among whom are Luci- fer and Serama.

The testimony is presented by ea(‘h' of the vices to which she was addict- ed, Lust, Vanity, Cruelty, Avarice, and Extravagance” and the testimony of each is mirrored on the glass of life. The stories told by these charac- ters all go to make up a splendidly coherent whole which is logically con- nected with both the prelude and the sequence, which includes the suicide of one of Ruth’s lovers, and her final banishment of Lucifer, who has ac- companied her through all the years, by an earnest and last-minute plea to heaven for mercy. Something new and highly sensational in the way of thrills is introduced in “The Air Peril,” which is the expressive title of the third character of the “‘Seven Pearls.”” After several exciting es- Mollie King, as Ilma, is finally captured by the enemy, and tied to the anchor line of a balloon to which is attached a dripping bottle of acid.

ONE LAW FOR BOTH COMING TO FOX'S | i “One Law for Both,” a spectacular ! film drama of Russia and America, | will be the feature at Fox's theater | for tomorrow and Saturday. For the first time on record, an eight reel feature will be presented to the pub- lic without an increase of admission. | The theme of the production is par- ticularly timely in view of the fact that part of the story is located in Russia—the Russia before the revolu- tion—and the characters of it are the | counterparts of those men and women who accomplished the freedom of the infant democracy. It is not merely | a plea for moral equality between the two sexes, but it reaches into the social and economic conditions that | obtained in Russia, and demands one | similar law for the peasant and the nobleman. The heroine of the story, Elgo_ Pulaski, is a new type to the American thea- tergoer. Heretofore the Russian rev- olutionist has been pictured as a| flerce bewhiskered personage carry- | ing a bomb under his arm, and gaz- ing furtively over his shoulder. The real people who have achieved the liberation of the great empire of Eu- a young noble-woman, who made the utmost sacrifices for the freedom of their country, and such are seldom depicted on screen The story opens in Russia, where the true workings of a real revolutionary society are laid bare.

But is that state of in-lawness always wholly to blame? Isn’t it partly the inevitable clash of youth and middle age, of eager irex- perience, "thirsting to try its own way and sated experience trying to force inexperience to do its way? A woman whom I used to know has recently been visiting her married daughter who lives near us. The woman is a dear, kind, helpful soul who loves her dAughter dearly. The daugher is a sweet conscientious little person who loves her* mother dearly. Yet Both Heaved a Sigh of Relief. And yet each heaved a sigh of relief when the visit was over. I knaw because, being a next friend, each heaved it to me. Said the mother: *I suppose one must expect times to change but when my mother came to see me I'm sure I paid more attention to her advices. When anyone has kept house for thirty vears and brought up five chil- dren, it stands to reason they should have learned something.

And I try so hard to help. ‘Why, I've made the baby half a dozen sets of rompers and two morning dresses for Gertrude and T don’t know what else besides. It seems queer she Sho Knew She Hadn’t Been Half Nice Enough. Said the daughter several days, later “Oh I do miss mother so now she’s gone.

And she thought I ought to have the maid | do everything her maids used to do | thirty years ago. And of course she wanted to take the baby right away from me and bring it up her way. I didn’t mean to be unreasonable but Both Were Wrong and Both Were Right. Now if one had heard either side of that story alone one might have blamed the other party. As it was, one only pitied both. They loved each other so and they hurt each other so. One wished the mother might have a little more tact and the daughter more patience.

Just think of it, until Saturday, and at the Ly- ceum theater, his old stamping ground. Doug is here this time in one of his latest offerings, “Down To Earth,” and what he does not do in the course of the picture is not worth telling about. He gets her in the end, though. What? O, yves, we forget to tell you who we mean by “her.” Well, she's the nicest, daintiest, sweetest, prettiest, cutest, etc., little girl imag- inable, even taking into consideration that most people have pretty fair sized imaginations. Eileen Percy, former Broadway star, and one of the brightest little lights that ever twin- kled is with Doug in this picture, as usual, and those who have seen her play opposite Doug will admit that the conservative adjectives used above do not give ber half the credit she de- serves. Just give Fairbanks some trouble to remedy, some tangles {o unravel, some mystery to clear up, or a pretty maiden to win, and there you have him at his best. In “Down To Earth” he has two of these big chances. In the first place he has the girl to win, and’ in the second place he has some troubles to remedy. Not the troubles of one lone, single person, understand, but a whole bunch of them, and say, he clears up a whole sky-ful of clouds and makes that old sun outdo itself in shininess. (How's that for the George M. Cohan stuff?) Joking in ‘this picture. From the be- ginning to the last flash, he is a hu- man dynamo, handling the bulk of the work and furnishing the thrills, ad there are some thrills, too. Think of a few ways to cure a bunch of people who have imaginary ills, and then drop in at the Lyceum and see how Douglas does it. Sclence? That's the boy's middle name. Two per- | formances of “Down To Earth” will be given daily at the Lyceum, and Doug expects to see all his old friends out there when he shoots his first smile across. After that first smlle everybody there is his friend. On the three-day program will be a Keystone comedy, “Pull the Cork,” and the Lyceum Weekly. “Scenes lrom ’ the world’s series are included in the events caught by the camera’s eye and transformed into celluloid in this . week's edition of the weekly, and other matters of current interest will also be shown, Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast Stewed Prunes Fish Balls Potatoes with Cream Sauce Parker House Rolls Coffee Lunch Potato Croquettes Creamed Cabbage Ginger Snaps Tea Dinner Celery Soup Egg Cutlets Mashed Potatoes Escalloped Peas Lettuce Apple Dumplings Coffee Potatoes with Cream Sauce—Cut cold boiled potatoes into dice, place them in 2 baking pan, cover with cream sauce, sprinkle the top with bread crumbs and bake in a moderate oven for about twenty minutes or un- til brown.
