Imagine being caught with the passport of a Russian spy instead of | your own, which would proclaim to the world that you were an Amer- ican citizen. Imagine being obliged to marry a man you had known two days, In,order to save his life. It takes quite a vivid imagination to bring yourself to the realization of these mixed emotions, but that is just what Ruth Sherwood, an Amer- | ican girl went through. Further, she ‘became mixed Into the wildest lmng—l inable vortex of strife with stone- | cold-hearted Huns on every side, with only this stranger-husband to assist her. Ruth Sherwood ls the leading char- | acter in Billle Burke’s latest motion | picture success, “Arms and the Girl,"” ' which is at the Lyceum today and tomorrow, and Miss Burke herself portrays the part in a manner all her own. Once this picture is viewed all wonder as to the reason for the little star’s vast ‘popularity ceases, and one comes to the realization that she is a real, true actress of the highest calibre. Miss Burke perfect- ly depicts this complicated role In a ! sympathetic menner. If she were your own sister or the next fellow’s sister, probably the girl across the street, you would never let her under- go the humiliation she is obliged to suffer, and when she can get your sympathy to such a degree that you clench your fist and mutter a few impolite phrases under your breath at the overfed Germans about her, why, the. girl i1s an actress. That is Miss Burke—she gets you in just that way. She brings home with a sudden shock the realization that she may be your sister, or your pal's sister, and that is why New York proclaimed | “Arms and the Girl,” the greatest pic- ture that has emerged from the war with war conditions as its theme. The story brings out the tactics used by the Germans in those early days when Belgium was overrun through “military necessity,” and thousands of defenseless cltizens of neutral countries were handled like as many cattle. The experiences of this American girl and Wilfred Fer- rers, played by Thomas Meighan, at the hands of the Germans form the basis of the play, but it is the world- wide appeal that this picture makes that gives it its place atop all others. On the program will be a Keystone comedy, the Lyceum Weekly, and sev- eral other pictures comprise an ex- cellent program.

A little shiver went over me at | William Trumbull's grim declaration: 11 don’t let nobody live what hurts you.” My alarm was not lessened by the old fellow's partly ludicrous, partly pathetic explanation that ‘“you bin jest like my old mudder to me, 8o kind and good.” William was almost if not quite old enough to have been my father, but his stunted brain made him nothing but a child, a simple child at that. I knew that all the love his life had ever known had been centred in his dead mother, and his comparison of me to her was the highest his brain could concetve. It was a dangerous thing to have aroused such an emotion of grat tude in so primitive a nature. How dan- gerous I saw by the ferocity with which ‘he had attacked Mr. Brennan when he thought the intoxicated man was about to strike me. What he (would .do if any one really harmed ‘me I didn't dare to contemplate. Nor had I time for an: reflection on what might happen in the future. The present dilemma promised to engage whatever attention I had “to spare. Granted that our ses an hour before his legal rivht to do so, and had occupled himself in breaking crockery, still the fact re- mairied that he had ‘been /almost strangled by a man in my employ, and I feared the violence of his anger when he should be able to speak again. But to my astonishment my doughty landlord proved a good losér. The fight evidently had cleared the fumes of alcohol from his brain, and I think the realization he must have had that he had almost struck a woman, humillated him greatly. At any rate, he advanced toward me, saying with a rather shamefaced at- tempt at humor: Mr. Brennan Apologizes. “Well, Mrs. G-r-raham, 'tis a foine, savage watchdog yez have there. But he'll be endin’ in th’ electric chalir-r, ar me name’s not Br-rennan. An’ perhaps I've been a bit pr-r-emature in gettin’ here. I'll be goin’ away now fer an hour, an’ whin I come back yez will probably be out?” His tone was a question. I was too glad that the scene which had so nearly approached tragedy had be- come commonplace, to make any pro- test at the damage he had done my kitchen ware. But when he had de- | such language? ! to you for coming to my rescue in the drunken [Iandlord had come upon the premhi parted after my quiet assurance that everything would be cleared out in an hour, Katie's lamentations were high and loud. “Look at my Jjelly glasses, joost smashed all oop!” she wailed. And my beeg vellow cake bowl!” her voice rose almost to a shriek. “Oh, Villum, dear Villum, vy you not shoke him ! hees vinap-pego smash like my ' till Jelly glasses?” “I'd go and finish the job up now, it Mis’ Gramie would let me,” William said with a wistful grin. And vola- tile Katie, answering the grin with one of her infectious chuckles, said gleetully, wth an adoption of one of Dicky’s slang phrases: “Go to eet, Villum, I'll hold your coat.” “Come, Katle,” I sald sharply, ‘‘you mustn't encourage Willlam in any such foolishness. And Willlam, re- member,” I faced the poor old fellow with all the sternness I could muster, ‘“you must never talk that way again about killing people. Don’t you know that you could be put in prison for I am very grateful Wway you did, but you .must promise Theatergoers and Women Rea REVELATIONS.

So well did Katle and Jim and Wil- llam work that a whole quarter of an hour before noon the last piece of fur- niture was on Jim's wagan, the last’ box on Willlam's push cart, Katle safely seated in the guarding my most precious sions. and taxicab posses- Then it was that with a sudden impulse I walked into the denuded and deserted living roqm and up to, the fireplade in whicA not even the ! ashes of a fire remained—it being a hobby of mine to leave a rented house ar apartment absolutely cleared . of dust, dirt or rubbish. What visions passed before my eyves in the short minute that I stood there bidding a mute farewell to the house, the walls of which had seen so much of joy and anguish in one short year! I recalled the hopes with which I had furnished up the old place, and Dicky's apparent delight in my exper- iments. But with the vision of Grace Draper’s pictured face before my eyes, my last gift from the old house, I felt that the dark and cold fireplace fitly expressed the condition of my heart. SIDE TALKS Lost and Found Again Before I insert the several lost no-) tices that have comle to me since our last issue of this column, let me ex- tend my very cordial thanks to the many readers who found “A Shrop- shire Lad” for me. I have thanked by letter all those who enclosed their addresses, but there were several who preforred to remain anonymous and I dan't want them to be unthanked. T was delighted to have the poem again and actually liked it as well as I thought I did—something which does not always happen when one refinds an old friend. Several other losts were also found but I think I was able to thank all the finders by mall.

I only remember two verses.” E “Speak gently to the aged one, Grieve not the careworn heart; They have enough they must ._endure Without an unkind word. Speak gently; it is better far To rule by love than fear. Speak gently; let not harsh words mar ‘The good we might do here.” A Boy Brought Up by Apes. “I have been reading your Lost and Found Again department with much interest and it occurs to me you could help me out. Would like to get a story in beok form that I read as a serial about eight years ago. The title was ‘“Targan of the Apes.” It dealt _with an English officer, his wife and | infant son, shipwrecked and cast on shore of wild country inhabited by apes. The father and mother dled, leaving the infant son. He was dls- covered by the mother ape who fed him and he grew to manhood. Also I.would like to find the words and music of a song I heard nearly forty years ago called “The Faded Coat of Blue.” It began like this: “My brave lad he sleeps in the faded coat of blue In a lonely grave unknown lies a heart that beat so true.” Poctry More Popular Than Prose. .+ gladness “The Assyrians came down like a wolf on the fold And their cohorts were gleam- Ing with purple and gold.” (Sounds to me like the Lays of An- clent Rome.) ‘“We were eating, you and me, ‘Twas thus the meeting came to be Missing Line Though your father to be sure thought it rather premature And your mother strange to say was another in the way, Don’t let anybody know, that Was many years ago; What a Heaven vanished then.

The story was filmed high up in the California mountains, and, although taken in the spring, the company was caught in a blizzard and for days were cut off, from communication with the outside warld. The supplies got low and Mr. Beban had to carry out his part in reality by cooking ‘“flapjacks’ for the other members of the organi- zation. 3 Charlie Chaplin, the highest sal- aried comedian in the world, will be | seen in his latest comedy, “The Ad- i venturer,” and is, without a doubt, the best ever Clarlie keeps the t the well-balanced cast are: ' audience in roars and constant laugh- | ter for the thirty minutes he is on the screen. | The Keenev Weekly and other features, with three high-class vaude- | ville acts, conclude the program. | ACTRESS AT FOX'S PLAYED WITH BUNNY | and now that the end of the story is drawing near, the thrills are doubled and tripled.

Another interesting attraction of the shaw is the formal opening of the new Fables in Slang, written by George Ade, that well-known and popular slangster, whose works have , been appearing for the last few years* in all of the leading fictional period- icals.

Office, 306 Main St. | When Mary Anderson, Vitagraph's ! youthful and talented star, first told her father she wished to go into mov- !ing pictures, he demurred, preferring she continue her studies. His final decision was she shoulid have one try at it and she must make good then or, never. And he was to be sole judge. Rather a severe first test for a young girl, but Miss Anderson was deter- mined and played her first part in support of John Bunny, and did so well that even her father conceded her talent and permitted her to make permanent arrangements with the Vitagraph company.
