Margery Wilson is its tar. Ever since her remarkable por- rayal of the French girl in D. W. [Griffith’s “Intolerance” Miss Wilson plays with an appeal that is truly tirring. Elaine Sterne furnished her Iith the role. It was Miss Sterne ho won the Vitagraph-Sun scenario jontest several yeas ago and by so do- Ing established an enviable reputation lor herself throughout the country. ack Cunningham prepared the scen- rio from the story and William V. fong directed. Mr. Mong is noted for is special ability to stage pictures salling for an atmosphere of the great orthwest and “Wild Sumac” will add puch to his reputation along this ine. The picture is full of the strong- pst kind of action, the suspense is ad- irably upheld and the acting from Priss Wilson down through all the pther parts, great and small, is of the best that Triangle hag offered. . Margery Wilson, the star of this picture while comparatively new to e screen is rapidly becoming one of s best known performers. She first stablished herself here in “Mountain Dew”, her first big starring vehicle. was while she was taking a vaca- fion in California that she first came In contact with the picture industry. A fancer was needed for a Triangle play nd she was promptly engaged. Since fhen she has made rapid progress. ivacious, almost selfish in her dainty harm, she is happily cast as Sumac, the fai child in this great picture pf the Northwest. Of equal interest is another subject pn the same program, the final chap- er of that absorbing serial, “The Fa- al Ring’ In which Pearl White has fbeen thrilling Fox audiences for the past twenty wee In this, the last ppisode of Pathe’'s whirl-wind serial 11 be seen some of the most excit- g stuff that has yet appeared on the reen.

She read them through once, then again, compared the newspaper date lines—Paris and Chicago—and then carefully examined the handwriting on the cheap, grimy envelopes in which they had been enclosed. H “It's. a child’s handwriting, don’t vou think so?” ventured Katherine, to whom I had first brought the let- ters in order to ascertain whethor Mrs. Allis, whom Katherine had been instrumental in confining in a sana- torium for drug addicts, couid pos- ! sibly have sent them. i “I don’t know."” Lillian’s tone was detached. I wasn't sure that she had really grasped what Katherine was saving, she appeared so absorbed in her comparison of the sprawling, un- steady chirography on the envelopes ! which had caused me so much worry. | When she had finished her scrutiny she laid down the envelopes and go- ing to her desk took out a large mag- nifying glass through which she again | examined the handwriting. “A Clever Imitation.” “I think it is a clever imitation of a child’s writing,” she said at last. “Of cdurse I am not sure, but one of my very good friends is a handwrit- ing expert and he has showed me 80 many of the exhibits from the crim- inal trials in which he has been en- gaged, that I know some of the ear- marks of disguised handwriting. Very probably the person who sent this got a child to copy, under some pretence, a list of names, among which was yours. Then it was an easy matter to study the writing of your name un- til the copying of it was a compara- tively simple matter. “You are certain Mrs. Allls could have nothing to do with this?"’ she asked Katherine abruptly, although she had already learned from my lit- tle friend’'s lips about the illness of the woman who had once so nearly succeeded in disfiguring me for life. , “I've just told you the report the sanatorium gave me over the tele- phone.” Katherine returned quietly. ““Of course I have no other source of information. “Don’t take offence, child,” IAlllan returned, with one of the rare smiles which .atone for her occasional brusqueness when she is unusually in- terested in some problem. “What I mean is this, would she have planned this thing some time ago, and have given the necessary directlons to some friend outside of the sanatorium, or have bribed some attendant there to do the work for her?” . More Than Revenge? “I am positive she had nothing to do with it,” Katherine said with de- cision. “I inquired particularly ag to the kind of treatment she has beén receilving. I know the course of treat- ment in her type of cases, and I can assure you she hasn't had the time, the inclination or the opportunity for anything outside of herself. “Tell mle, Madge,” Lilliarn/turned to me with almost a tone of entreaty in her voice. “Can you think of no one vou knew before your marriage—I have known your affairs pretty well GARRIS CONSTIPATION CAUSES OBSTINATE HEADACHES When your head #thes you- will usually find the bowels have been inactive, and if you relieve this condition, by clearing the intestinal organs of the ferment- ing congestion of stomach waste, foul gases and bile, the head is relieved immediately.

It contains no opiate, nar- cotic, or habit-forming drug, is pleasant to the taste, and a most effective household remedy. Mothers find it especially desir- able as a laxative for children.

Another thing which nar- rows down the list of possibilities is the fact that my new address is on the envelope. We have only been in the house a few days.

As if the sound of the girl’'s name upon her own lips was a slogan to ac- tion, Lilllan sprang to her feet. “GIrl!"” she sald, ‘“there’s more to this than just a love-sick girl's re- vengeful scheme to frighten the wife of the man with whom she’s infatu- ated.” h J She hesitated a minute, and I saw an embarrassed flush come into her fall. . “I happen to know that Harry's theatrical game flivvered a while ago; and that he has been flat broke for some time.” A swift suspicion crossed my mind.

VIVIAN MARTIN AT KEENEY'S THEATERI Dainty Vivian Martin who recently scored such pronounced successes in “Giving Becky a Chance” and “The Spirit of Romance,” and who will be' seen at Keeney’'s Theater today and Saturday in the Pallas-Paramount production of Paul West's clever story “A Kiss For Susie” prepared es- pecially for her by Harvey T. Thew and produced under the personal di- rection of Robert Thornby, has estab- lished for herself a unique position in the firmament of photodramatic stars. A little wisp of a girl, full of | vitality and charm and with a roguish- ness all her own, she has been halled by many as the “elf’ of the film, went on, “to flnance the ®&ostly trip back to the United States from South | America which the Draper mast have taken, for I am certain she fs here in New York and has sent these letters. She must have got the money from somewhere, and if my surmise is cor- rect as to the source of her financial backing, she is about as harmlesy roaming about New York as a Bengal tigress would be.’ SIDE TALK BY RUTH CAMERON A Big Headstart. In a certain lttle magazine in which would-be and actually-are wri- ters tell about their methods, their difficulties and their successes, there was an article some weeks ago by a man who writes articles and essays of various sorts. He told how he went about it. In- stead of writing an article of hap- hazard length on any subject which happened to come to his attention and which he thought might be in- | teresting, he bought the various mag- | azines and studied them. He found out exactly what sort of material each magazine was using, how long an ar- ticle they would use, what style of writing they liked—the flippant, the serious, the technical, the popular. And then he went to work. Was it any wonder he succeeded? He knew just what he was trying to do. There Is An Fnormous Competition Among Writers. He had the enormous competition which any writer always has to face (15,000 manuscripts a year pass through a certain magazine office and | fifty are accepted) but he gave him- self a big head start. T would back him against a man with more writing ability and with- out his system, his sense of direction, s0 to speak. T think a lack of that sense of direc- tion is one of the reasons so many of | us do not attain the measure of suc- cess and happiness we feel ourselves | i more successful comrades for 1 Do Yoy M#iow Where You Are Going? s “I don't know where I'm going but T'm on my way” s the haphazard motto of nine-tenfhis of us.

She didn't try for success In that line and she didn’t got it. A House Without a Plan. If one started to build a house without any definite plan, what kind of a house would he produce. And yet we bulld lives that way. Lord Northeliffe reached his very high position from a comparatively humble estate. Here are his four rules for success in life. “Concentrate your energies work hard. “Launch out in new experiments. “Never be afraid to have the cour- age of your opinions. “Fix the lines you want to travel and ialong and keep on them.” “That's all.” It's enough, isn’t it? The biggest, greatest, smashing feature of the year thus far displayed in New Britain is here. Hundreds of peoble saw it yesterday afternoon and last evening and voted it unanimously the greatest thing 'in its line. “The ,Narrow Trail,” an engrossing, excit- | ing, interesting story of the great West, with that famous interpreter of western roles, Willlam S. Hart, has overnight become the chief topic of | discussion among theatergoers, and it is certainly worth the time spent in | seeing it. 5 | When the public is told that a cer- tain production is good, the state- ment is taken with salt; when an-) nouncement is made that the produc- | tion is better than the average, they wonder who the press agent is; and | when they are informed that it is the greatest feature of its cla no ¢ attempt is made to hide the fact that | | they believe someone is lying. i Little need be said of William S. | Hart or his ability as an actor. Prac- tically everyone who ever visited a| motion picture house has at one time i or another seen him and admired him. One would think that the en-| actment of the average western rolel could be done without the infusion of such a thing as art, but Hart goes that far—he makes his acting a work of art, and thus he has won his way to the highest pinnacle. In “The Narrow Trall,” as Ice Harding, he has wonderful opportuni- i tles for enlarginc upon his previous successes. He is really able to draw sympathy for himself, even as a hold- up man, and that means something! Hart's ability to smash effect home through facial expression and real acting is a matter of known fact, and upon the quality of his vehicle rests the success of his endeavors. “The Narrow Trail” tells the story of the love of a “bad man” for a girl who is obliged to live under circum- stances that cast a shadow over her being. Hart shows that his love can be as strong as his hate, and by ever trusting and bellieving, he is brought to the realization that, despite appear- ances, the girl of his heart is worthy of his affections.. The big feature will be at the Lyceum today and tomor- TOW. On the same program will be thoe Lyceum Weekly, Keystone Comedy and other pictures of quality. Satur- day's performance will be continuous, so you cannot be late. "Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast. Fruit Broiled Ham stewed Potatoes Griddle Cakes Coffee Lunch.
