Hp was looking at his master vagerly, his red-rimmed eves gleamed, and his punishing jaw protruded fear- somely. There was no doubt that Pete would be glad of the chance to pull down and punish the intruder. But I was uncertain as to Lillian’s desires in the matter. Did she wish the man captured so soon, manner which would nece: being turned over to the local police, of whose ability to hold so dangerous and versatile a man I had a very poor opinion I was fairly certain that she didn't. But he must be traced. I turned and took William by the arm. “William,” I said impressively.

HART AND MARKOVA ON FOX'S PROGRAM A big double program, full of vari- ety, with lots of thrills and lots of | laughter, will open for two days at Fox’s today. William S. Hart and Sonia Markova, the latest Fox find, | are the featured stars, and each is| alone worth the price of admission. Hart appears in; one of those pulsat- ing western dramas, “The Apostle of Vengeance,” that is positively pa\‘kcd! with excitement. It tells a story of | pursuit and retributive justice, and | Mr. Hart is at his best throughout the | entire five reels. Miss Markova, that | fascinating Russian of mysterious an- | tecedents, is here in an absorbing | drama of love and politic as those | two games are plaved in diplomatic Washington. This photoplay, which is called “A Heart’s Revenge,” is color- full and stirring, and has an excellent story. Thrill after thrill follows right up to the climax, which takes place on the sea, where Madame Markova, in a swift motorboat chases after a schooner bound for China, This schooner is bearing away her sweet- heart whom a Russian Baron is en- deavoring to lose so that he may him- self win the hand of Madam Sabouroff, whom Markova portrays in the play. The wily Chinaman enters into the picture and lends much Oriental at- mosphere to it. To aid the Baron, he brings from his laboratory a chem- ical which, when administered to a person causes the vietim to lose his | initiative and will power, and noth- ing but a severe blow on the head will restore it. The blow comes, but its effect is an awful surprise to the one who strikes it. “A Heart’s Re- venge” presents some mighty good, clean and stirring entertainment. “The Son-of-a-Gun” is the title of another one of those absurdly funny Sunshine Comedies which is also on the pro- gram. Like former Sunshines, this one 1s brimful of pep and rib-tickling laughter. The third chapter of that serial thriller, ‘“Vengeance—and the | Woman,” and some new anties of | those comical cut-ups, Mutt and Jeff, | | | i and the Pathe News are among the | other superior subjects of this big show | which will run continuously tomor row, the second show starting at A set of family scales should be in every kitchen.
