The Houdini serial starts next Mon- day. In this serfal, Houdini, the star, has had more publicity than any living man. There is not an editor in the country who does not know him, be- | causze his life is a whirlpool of sensa- tional thrills. This serial is crammed full of thrills, excitement, suspense, swift action and story. In “The Mas- ter Mystery,” Houdini is given an op- portunity to display his feats of self- extrication in a novel and unique way. Bach episode ends with a thrill such as has never been shown on the sereen before. As far as serial construction goes, m: novelties are introduced, the under-water shots and feats of self-liberation, which only Houdini can do. In the cast are Margaret Marsh, Ruth Stone- house and the great Houdini. When Houdini was performing his marvelous feats in European theaters he included Germany in his route, it being quite some time prior to the world war, and Cologne was one of the cities in which he showed. Now, the German police made the claim that he was obtaining money under false pretences; in other words, that he was a “swindler.” ~ A Hun official, by the name of Schultzmann Werner Graff, was the “Must be sprinkler equipped”—Uncle Sam Inadvertising forwarehouses in Chicago recently,the Government definitely an- nounced that all buildings had tobesprinklerprotected.

Mrs. Charlie Chaplin, the most | talked-of film star at present, is the | attraction at Fox' theater in the Jatest Jewel production, “‘Borrowed Clothes”. ILver since the announce- ment was made that Charlie Chaplin, | the million-dollar comedy king, had | taken a wife, patrons of the theater know who the iucky girl is. Mildred Harris—>Mrs. Charlie Chaplin—is only 17 age and has heen in motion pictures only a little over 12 months She was vears of chosen by Lois Weber, the Belasco of the screen, to star in Jewel produc- tions because she was pretty, girlis delicate and intelligent—exactly w t the new and better kind of photoplays today demand. In addition to the delicate charm of her face and her sweet personality by reason of her fine intelligence She is an exception ly fine actress. In her latest succ she repeats the tremendous hit that she made in “The Price of a Good Time” and “For Husbands Onl “Borrowed Clothes,” without sugges- | tiveness, handles in the most subtle and skillful manner one of the biggest home problems of the day. ‘Bor- rowed Clothes” is one of the most dramatic and appealing photoplays of the year. Mrs. Chaplin is assisted by | Lewis Cody and a large, nationally | known cast. Of added interest to the bove is the exclusive showing in New Britain of the surrender of the Ger- man fleet at the Firth of Forth, Scot- land. The dramatic and humiliating surrender of the Hun fleet, so graph- ically described by Ex-President Taft Monday evening, is shown in these pictures of the American, British and French fleets, with the German ar mada crawling through with its colors | lowered, never to rise again.
