DAVIS THEATRE. ——— Second Day of Henry Dixey, the Fa- mous_Star, in_Chelsea 7750. The verdict of those who saw th's wonderful photoplay vesterday was without exception: “It’s Great!” and no_one can see Henry E. Dixey in th's great ' detective drama. Chelsea 7750 without saying the same. Mr. Dixey as everyone knows is -one of the fors- most stars on the American stage ani in this particular production he has a chance to display his versatile abil- ities to the best advantage. The plot of the plcture deals with a gang of counterfsiters who have evaded the police for a number of years but who are finally brought to justice after many -exciting and thrilling scenes through the efforts of a young woman. ‘Every detail all through the picture is carried out with minute correctncss even to the telephone operating room and 4 sensational fire scene where the detective sets fire to a house to save his daughter. Supporting Mr. Dixey in this feature is Miss Laura Sawver, one of the greatest motion picture actresses of today and who for many vears was the leading lady with the Edison company. It is a rare event for the public to see such a great act- or for the price of admission that is being charged at the Davis and no sne should let the opportunity go by w'th- out seeing Chelsea 7750. In additon to this feature there is a beautiful Reliance drama in two reels entii’ed For Another’'s Crime, a photoplay that will Xeep up the interest; Tne Long Portage, a K. B. western drama, lends variety to the bill and Two Men -nd a Mule supplies the comedy. Matinee at 2.30: 5 and 10 cents, for the gresi- est pho!opl&y bill shown here this sea- son, BOUGHT AND PAID FOR. Christmas Attrac&um at the Davis. At ths Davis Lheatm Thursday, Dec. 25, matines and night, William A. Brady’s production of Bought and Paid ¥or, by George Broadhurst, will be given here for the first time. No telling of the plot can give you anything more than a faint idea of the wonderful character drawings of the play. 'There are four very important roles, each representing a different and distinct type, and -each is a faithful composite portrait of a modern class with whom most of you are.familiar. In fact, so clearly are the characteriza- tions ~shown and so realistic is the language piaced in the; mouths of the principals that you cannot help but liken. these people of footlight land to certain ones whomt you are accustomed to meet In your daily walks. First there is Virginia Blaine, delicate and ' refined little telephone operator, who marries the self-made king of fidance. “‘The part is played by Helen Macbeth. Virginia is the daugh- ter of people of genuine culture and breeding, with ‘whom real gentility was an inborn quality. Thrown upon her own resources at an early age, by the death of her fgther, who left behind him little but a good name, she strug- gled bravely to maintain_ her decency, self respect, and at the same time add to her store of knowledge of things worth while, She is not one of those girls, too fa- millar in every big city, who ape the manners and language of those in,bet- ter circumstances, merely for show, and the height of whose ambition is to wear clothes that they cannot afford. | On the contrary, she is a good, true, earnest " little “woman, proud of her own clean life and ever willing to learn anything: that will help her morally.-or mentally. Fanny, her. sis- ter (played by Marion lord), is the type of pretty, big-hearted girl of the shops, on whose shoulders refinement will never rest with ease, but who would willingly give her last cent and everything else she possesses to help a comrade in need. She is at all times a friend worth having and one whose sdortcomings are of the head and not f the heart. The sale of seals opens this morning at 10 o'clock. Prices for matinee and evening, 26¢c to $1.50. Telephone orders held till Wednesday night only. COLONIAL THEATRE. Complete Change of Pictures, Pendu- lum of Fate, Two-Reel Feature. The up-to-date service inaugurated at the Colonial theatre whereby new | picture= ‘are shown every day begins | today, and while the programme yes- terday was more than wonderful, the one today is equally so. The Pendulum 2f Fate, a monster two-reel special re- lease, is th. feature, and cells its be- wildering story of a secret marriage among the peerage, amid gorgeous tropical scenery. The Little Substitute, featuring. Francis Bushmann, is a beautiful story of domestic life and abounds With situations of the most appealing nature.. "Camping With the Blackfeet, a splendid educational film, is photographed on the Blackfeet res- ervation in northwestern Montana. Thig is an inlimate glimpse of the life and cupations of the interesting In- dians. L{ttle Kaintuck is the juvenile Vitagrs~- ‘~ture, and the comedy is supplied in the big. scream, Seth’s Woodpile.

Scientists assert that young croco- diles, just before they are ready to hatech, utter a croaking cry within the eggs which can be heard though the eggs be burled some distance under the sand. 'Dr. W. A, Lamborn recently tested the fact at Lagos, on the West Afriean coast, He heard a croiking &nbfiflbflw a dr}; path and, dig- the parth to investigate the n‘ e discovered thirteen crocodile em lx a depth of about eighteen inch- es, . All the young crocodiles hatched out within'an hour of being dug up. ‘So long ago as 1899 Dr. Voeltzkow noticed that unhatched Madagascar ory from the egg 4t a consideragle depu: and that any shock, as of a heavy tread near the egg,. caused the baby crocodile to pro- duce this sound “with the mouth closed as we produce hiccough sounds. In this way they inform the fomale crocodile, when she visits the nest, that they want her aid, whereupon she scrapes . the und away and they emerge. - . World 1s improving.

He took for his text Christ’s words, “I am come that they might have life and have it more :.bundlntly." ‘When Christ came to earth, he began. the Jews were op- pressed by the ' Roman government, were weary, heawy laden, and the life that gave was not the life they ‘were Ioak.m‘ for. . That life lays o!d of and makes new the new soul clings to him. It is a power for. rlxht- eousness which grows out of trust in God. There is reaching out; enlarging, getting into touch with the great real- ities of this life and the life to come a fullness of being that we cannot get apart from Christ. Christ emphasizes ' individualism. One by one I have come to give you life, to show gou how you ought to live. I am the Life, take Me into your soul, live your life in Christ and Christ in you.
