Talmadge makes a charming “Daughter of Two Worlds” In the first of her "First National Pictures,” which is showing this week at the Circle. She is seen as the daughter of that world where only thieves and murderers exist and where temptation forever lingers. Here she is that same smiling and pretty I Norma and later when she Is placed in a private school for girls she wins additional honors. The story concerns Jenny Malone, daughter of the keeper of a notorious dive. She admires Slim Jackson, cabaret dancer, and is led to forge a check for him. The forgery is discovered and Jennie refuses to disclose Slim’s name and is arrested. She is released on hail and starts life anew under an assumed name. Her roommate. Sue Harrison, a daughter of a wealthy family, invites her to her home during the vacation months. Here she meets Kenneth Harrison, Sue's brother, who immediately falls in love with her. Her love for her father who has always wanted her to be “somebody,” becomes too great and late one night she gO4 to see him. From this time on serloufc things begin to happen. A detective murdered and the blame falls upon ne of Jenny’s admirers. To save him ■he testifies that at the time of the Rnurder they were together and has proof. ’ It Is then that the Harrison household I learns that Jenny is sought by the poI lice. Kenneth's love for her does not cease here and .he promises, to see her l through. She returns to her father's | dance hall, but Is a different type of woman. She corrects things and the endtng finds young Harrison and Jenny happy. The story, which is from the novel by Leroy Scott, is one of the most Interesting and possesses more Intense moments than any picture recently seen ou the local screens. The star's cast is excellent. The other pictures include “The Speak Easy,” a Mack Sennett comedy, and a news reel. Under the direction of Ernest Schmidt, the Circle orchestra plays the overture "Poet and Peasant.” The soloist is Estelle Carey. -|- -|- .|. ALHAMBRA. There are some actors of the silent drama who have the enviable reputation of appearing only in entertaining and worth while pictures, but there Is another class composed of those who endeavor to make each picture better than the preceding one. Os the latter group, Charles Ray is the most prominent example. His latest production, “Red Hot Dollars,” which is showing the first half of this week at the Alhambra, eclipses all of his previous efforts Ray has the part of Tod Burke In this picture. He is employed as a steel worker. He saves the life of the owner of the mills and receives injuries himself. He Is taken to the Garton home. Gratitude and a growing love for his rescuer lead the millionaire to adopt the boy. Tod's sweetheart’s grandfather, Angus Muir, whom Garton had at one time ruined in a business wav, will have nothing to do with Tod. Tod goes hack to his new life, where he succeeds in business more I— h e does j n SoC iety. He sehis sweetheart's services as a stespher, when her grandfather bes 111.

1331 Adventup.es it ‘1 OF THE: TWINS frSgl h>' Olive- Roberfcy Barton THE WONDERFUL BALL.

ALL DAY Nancy and Nick had hunted for Jocko. But even with their green shoes and the magical mushroom to help them they had had no success. Finally they arrived at the hay field and spent a long time playing In the great, stack piled up near the gate. They pretended it \va3 an,enchanted mountain and contained a treasure. Nick found a curious round ball and, after examining it. the children decided to have a game. The ball was woven of straw and fine twigs and made a splendid plaything. After awhile the twins saw Mr. and Mrs Harvest Mouse rushing about in great excitement, so they stopped their game and Nick thrust (he ball into hie pocket. “What is it, Mrs. Mouse?” asked Nancy. “Is anything wrong?”

Suddenly Mrs, Mouse shrieked, “Why, there they are, sticking out of your pocket!” “Anything wrong!” cried Mrs. Mouse.! “1 should say so! While we were away from home, thieves broke in and kidnaped our family. All the children are gone.” “Oh, that’s too bad!” declared Nancy. “Can we help you hunt for them?” Mr. Mouse stroked his whiskers thoughtfully. “Did you see Caesar, the cat, around anywhere?” he asked. “Or OBcar Owl, or Sam Snake?” Nancy shook her head. "No, we didn’t see any of them.” Mrs. Mouse began to BnifTle. “Oh, my! The children will all he sick if they’re not properly watched. Mignonette has a cold anyway, and Marmaduke gets earache and Maude-Marie is subject to croup, and —” Suddenly she shrieked, “Why, there they are, sticking out of your pocket!” Nick jumped. “Where?” he cried. “In that ball. That’s our nursery!” Nick and Nancy took the ball and listened. Sure enough, they heard a faint squeaking within. “We’re dreadfully sorry,” they apologized, putting their plaything down. Mrs. Mouse peeped anxiously within. “They're all right,” she answered, graciously. "No harm *done.’’—Copyright, 1919.

CONFESSIONS OF A BRIDE

The wall panel clicks and l am locked in a secret chamber. I heard the wall panel click sharply as It snapped Into its place behind me 1 turned on the Instant, for the sound of it, breaking the deep silence, was ominous. What I had heard had been the snap of a lock! I knew, without investigation, that I was a prisoner in that secret chamber! Leaning against the panel in the wall, as if only so I could keep any hold upon the outside world, I surveyed my surroundings. The room was square. The floor was paved with square blocks of marble and It was covered with a square rug of a rare Chinese design. I felt through the thick softness of the carpet with the sole of my thin pump for some unevenness In the floor, some spring or button upon which I had stepped accidentally, and set into motion the hidden mechanism of the wall panel. * The floor was faultlessly smooth. 1 couldn’t detect the slightest hint of an electrical plug. I reached out a trembling hand and pushed against the false door with all my strength. Nothing moved. T tried the right-hand panel, then the left-hand panel. I rapped on the wall, but not even a faint echo betrayed the opening 1 sought. “Jane Lorimer, you’ve done it this time,” I said to myself. And I recalled all I had ever read about secret chambers: a famous one had been provided with a revolving floor, another had walls which turned swiftly around and around especially for the purpose of driving prisoners mad! “Whatever else you may do, don’t lose your head,” 1 admonished myself, knowing perfectly well that I had at last achieved the most terrible of all of my adventures. “This room has been contrived expressly to bewilder its occupant,” I decided. Looking around me, I discovered that the only way 1 could tell on which side of the room 1 had entered was by my own proximity to the wall! If that square room had been divided into triangles by diagonal lines drawn between its corners, each section, with all that It contained, would have been an exact duplicate of the other three.

The panels of ths wall were exquisitely carved—and all alike. The rug was a -glorious gold and blue thing intricately webbed with interlocked circles; neither from Us design nor from its shape could one determine one’s directions. On each side of the room was a grouping of divans, chairs, tables and cushions and each cluster of furniture was exactly like the others. I reviewed all the descriptions of secret prisons of which I had ever read, and T couldn't find one which was more confusing than the simple. exactly ordered chamber wherein I stood. I perceived the scheme of the thing at a glance; if the occups i>t turned heed lessly away froip the entrance panel and lost his original bearings in his ex- dement, he —or she — never, never would be able to tell where to find tbe panel which ipoved like a door. “I’ve Just one (grain of sense left.” thought I. With that I took a hairpin from my braids, bent it like a horseshoe and hung it to a carved leaf above the treacherous panel which had so lately clicked behind me. “I certainly hope you bring me luck,” I remarked to the horseshoe. “If It were not for you I'd soon be as lost In this room as a rowboat op the ocean under u cloudy sky. I’d soon be walking around and around the circles on that queer rug, I suppose. I wonder if one starves before one goes mad—in a place like this?” Then I laughed at myself. Already I felt hysterical, it appeared. In all the long history cf my mischances, I had never been hungry, I had never suffered. There was no reason why my good fortune shouldn’t hold out a little longafc Or was it inevitable that one should come to the cud of one's luck at last? M as that the Idea which chilled me and made me shudder? Or was It the knowledge that not a soul In all the wide world knew what had become of me? Copyright, 1919. (To Be Continued.)
