She is Jane Cowl, reputed to be one of the greatest emotional stars in America, and lately distin- guished as a dramatist through her co-authorship of the two Broadway successes, “Lilac Time,” and “Day- break.” It was Jan Cowl who creat- ed the role of Mary Turner, heroine of “Within the Law,” and played the leading part in “Common Clay.” This is not only the first appear- ance of Miss Cowl as a Goldwyn star, but also her screen debut. It is.said that she photographs admirably and rises in superb fashion to every op- portunity afforded her in a remark- able role. ‘“The Spreading Dawn,” in which she appears, is an adaptation of the story by Basil King which lately appeared as a tremendously popular story in the Saturday Even- ing Post. It provides Miss Cowl with the part of a society belle of the Civil war period. “The Spreading Dawn” details the story of a romantic girl who meets with a heartbreaking disappointment in her love, only to have her faith restored In a remarkable manner. The ,action begins with a prologue. Geofgina Vanderpyl 1s = prevented from marrying her lover by an aged aunt who threatens her with disin- heritance. In explaining her attitude the aunt reveals an experience of her own; and this experience is the real story of the play. A new chapter of that big serial, “The Fighting Trail,”” and a funny Sidney Drew comedy, entitled *“Rub- bing It In,” will also be shown. BILL OF MERIT AT KEENEY’S THEATER The week at Keeney's theater will be ushered in this evening with a big double bill every day, including features, several comedies and all cur- rent events of the day. In presenting Lou-Tellegen and Mary Fuller in the Famous Players- Paramount production of “The Long Trall,” it is felt that this stellar duo will be unusually popular with the amusement-seeking public when it will be seen at. this theater on® Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday. This photoplay was written by Eve Unsell, and this fact, couplel with the fact that the production was directed by Howell Hansel and has for its stars two of the best known screen favor- ites, should more than vouch for its popularity. Lou-Tellegen is seen as ‘“Andre Dubois,” the young French- Canadian trapper, living in the wilds with his little sister Michette. Mary Fuller plays Louise Graham, an or- phan whose only living near relative is her scapegrace brother. The way Andre unconsciously compromises Louise. and causes her hypocritical friends to desert her, and then mar- ries her to save her from the ad- vances of the uncouth lumbermen of the place makes a tale that is intense- ly Interesting in its freshness and originality. Today and tomorrow the first epi- sodes of the two greatest serials ever produced will be shown for the first time in this city. “Who Is Number One,” adapted for the sereen by H. M. Horkheimer from the story by Anna Katherine Green, starring Kath- leen Clifford as Amee Villon, filled with rapid action and thrilling and | sensationally melodramatic situations resolve this production into a typical continued story. A novel way of add- | ing enough interest to carry the at- | tentlon of the audience over to tho next installment has been adopsed by | a brief summary of what will take place in the next chapter. This oc- ! curs at the end of each episode. This not only gives the audience an ink- ling as to what to expect in the future, but also adds a touch of originality, as compared with other stones of similar nature. The Universal Serial, “The Mystery Ship,” with Ben Wllson, Neva Ger- ber and Kingsley Benedict, the action is quick and lively, with any quantity of fights and hair-breadth escapes to keep the audience in a state of breath- lessness throughout. Keeney Weekly, Current Events, several comedies and three high class vaudeville acts will conclude the program. e BANQUETS ARE IN SEASON.

Amazement and Shock Battled in Madge’s Heart. It is one of my faults, and perhaps my greatest misfortune, to work my- self up to an emotional height with- out having any real basis for doing so. As a consequence, the ‘letting down’ is a painful and a disillusion- ing process. Never has this fact been brounht home so forcibly to me as it was in the early hours of the morning when Dicky came home to me with the news that the United States had en- tered the world war. I had jumped to the conclusion that Dicky would wish to enlist at once in “his country’s service. And, clinging to him, I silently fought out my battle against my own selfishness which would have bidden him stay, and had emerged triumphant over muyself, ready to bear my part of whatever burden he might wish to assume. But, instead of the instant decision to enlist which I confidently expected him to make, Dicky had simply ex- pressed a regret that he had not had the opportunity to be present at the session of congress when war was de- clared! In my highly wrought emotiqnal state I felt as I might if a dash of cold water had been thrown in my face. For an instant, in my revul- sion of feeling, I wanted to shrink away from my husband, as if I had found him wanting in some great test. Then sanity came back to me, and I realized anew the great differ- ence between Dicky’s temperament and mine. Is Dicky “Cautious?” For underneath all Dicky's irre- sponsible impulsive temperament runs a current of caution, evidently inher- ited from his mother, which steadies him whenever any great issue is to be decided. My caution, on the other hand, is generally exercised over the petty details of life, and I am afraid I carry it to such an excess that I often ruffle Dicky's more easygoing nature, while when a, real issue comes to me, T am apt to let the usual fem- inine passion for self-immolation run away with me. That Dicky had not at once decided to enlist was no indication that he didn’t mean to do so. mind to say nothing that could pos- sibly Influence him one way or the other. But the white heat of emotion in ! Why I made up my | IREVELATIONS OF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON which I thought had been burned away all sordid and petty things was gone. 1 listened listlessly as he went on discussing the news, for all the world, I thought, as if he himself were an outsider looking on at this greatest world drama. For Mrs. Durkce. “This ought to hit the colleges pretty hard,” he said. “A friend of mine who's an instructor at Prince- ton tells me the fellows have been chafing at the bit for weeks. This will give them an opportunity to get out. He said over half the students would probably enlist.” My heart leaped at once with a gush of sympathy to the mothers of those enthusiastic boys. I knew that, even though no child had been cradled in my arms—or was ever likely to be, T told myself with the bitterness that thought always brought me—I could vet understand the anguished ptide with which they would give their sons to their country. “It's a blasted shame, t0o,” Dicky went on. “All the flower of the cou, try going, and the dirt staying at home. I tell you that woman in Can- ada had it about right. You' read about her, didn’t you, Madge, the mourning mother who stood looking on at a rowdy picnic crowd in one of terly, ‘And I've given up three of my boys that trash like this might be happy and protected " I nodded. I couldn’'t answer him. It seemed to me I never wanted to speak again. But Dicky's flow of words was unceasing: “Of course conscription’s coming,” he said. “It will have to come. And for my part I think the boys would better hold off a bit until it does come. Then every one will have an equal chance. But of course boys of that age are spoiling for a fight any- ways - I looked at him in shocked amaze- ment. Was it possible Dicky was as callous, as devoid of sympathetic un- derstanding as his words indicated? {But his next sentence put everything | else out of my head. “I imagine you ought to go over to see Mrs. Durkee tomorrow,’” said. *“I think she’ll need some one.” “Why ?” I asked wonderingly. “Alf came home with me on the |train. He’'s going to get in the game the minute he can and he's golng to Ihreak the news to his mother in the mornmg BY RUTH Living for the I had a discussion the other day with a man about sending checks to people: who you do not know. This man held that it was not safe to do because the people might raise them and then you would be respon- sible. “I should worry,” said I. “My checking account isn't big enough so that I would lose a great deal.” “Oh, well,” said he, “you are re- sponsible ta the whole extent of your | property.” This did not seem possible to me, so we discussed the matter further, 'and I found out that he based that statement on the fact that he had heard of a man whose theck was raised and who had b suspected of collusion with the raiser, and had finally had to make restitution. The Superior Attitude of the Ultra Cautious. I pointed out. which the ultra cautious view the ig- norance of people who aren't forever hedging themselves in with fears “How could I prove that?” he asked ‘triumphantly. { 1 couldn’t prove he couldn’t prove it, so we adjourned the discussion. Later I talked with the treasurer of a bank about the matter of check- were. “Never while T have been here,” he said, “have I had a raised check. I should say about one chance in a million.” They Plan Always For the Worst. That statement interested me deep- 1y, not only because I wanted to know | about the check situation for my own Im{orn\alion, but because it described so well the way that man and others | like him—the check is only an exam- ple of his attitude toward life—order their existence. They live not for the nine hundred and ninety-nine thou- sand, nine hundred and ninety-nine chances in the million, but for the one chance. There are so many, that might happen, once in a million times or so. To loak out for them all would take most of the joy out of life. And that's just what happens to the people who live for the millionth chance. (And to those who have to live with them.) Excessive Fear of Germs Is Cowardice. The extravagant fuss some people make about germs is a typical mani- festation of this state of mind. It is good to be cleanly, good to be care- ful, splendid to keep vourself in such physical health that you can throw off germs, but it is terrible to think about germs all the time. § many things that do happen SIDE TALKS Millionth Chance It's faolish to live for the millionth chance, and it's cowardly. There's some element of chance in cvery thing in life and to be so feartully afraid of chances is to he afraid of life. The man I described is a mon- strosity because he has let his habit of exaggerating the millionth chance obsess him until he has lost all sense of proportion. But there are many who have a tendency that way. Check it while you can. Believe me (and I have bitter reasons to know) it is a terrible thing once it gets control of you.
