But Bertie pawns bis father's best clothes, and in order to avoid meeting his parent hides in a waiting taxicab- In a few minutes he finds himself being whirled away with a strange but beautiful girl sitting beside him. The Stewart household is the meeting place of some people who have nothing to do but bemoan their fortunes. ill or otherwise. Bertie's uncle, Percy Peters, comes to rlsit them with his chronic cough, and a Mrs. Smith, wife of a perfume manufacturer, also comes to see Mr. Stewart, Sr., who bestows upon her a medal for building a hospital for sick animals. It Is at the impromptu medal bestowal tbat Bertie recognizes in Mrs. Smith the girl with whom he had had the taxi ride. He thereupon makes an engagement to meet her at the Case de Paix. Considerable consternation ensues when Mr. Stewart and a Dr. Paul also visit the Case de Paix, as does Percy Peters. But the situation becomes acute for Bertie when Major Smith arrives to keep an appointment with the Governors staff. The waiter, Alexis, wise in the ways of married women meeting young bachelors, serves th? guests present.

In the melee which follows the policeman discovers that his own wife is at the case with another man. Affairs become more complicated the next morning when the men of the Stewart household discover that Mrs. Stewart has employed Alexis as the new Sutler, and rTents move very swiftly to the close of the amnsing farce-comedy, which was adapted from the stage play of the same name.

A Circlette of News and a Topic* of the Day complete the program. This program will be shown for the last times on Friday, the bill changing every Saturday under the new policy. * f I I

KLSrE FERGUSON APPEARS IX DRAMA AT LOEWS SUNDAY. Miss Elsie Ferguson will be seen st Loew's nest week in her latest screen play. "Sacred and Profane Lore,” which she used a season or two ago as a legitimate vehicle on Broadway. William D. Taylor has selected his cast with a full appreciation of the production's importance. Playing the leading male role of Emilio Diaz is Conrad Nagel, the one-time Broadway matinee idol whose recent appearances in Paramount photoplays have carried him to the upper rungs of cinema success. Mr. Nagel appeared on the New York stage in “Experience.” “The Man Who Came Back” and “Forever After,” and in William A. Brady's screen production. “Little Women.” which was released as a Paramount-Artcraft special. His appearances in Paramount pictures have included "The Fighting Chance,” “Midsummer Madness” and “What Every Woman Knows.” the last two being William De Mllle productions. No less talented a player than Thomas Holding, leading man for Olga Petrova and a score of other stars, has been chosen for the difficult role of Ispeirtove. the man whose weak infatuation for Carlotta starts most of the tremendous dramatic situations. Mr. Holding iH particularly fitted for the English character he portrays. as he was born in Kent, England, and educated at Rugby. Ho has been associated at various times with Edward Terry, Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson, Maxine Elliott and Nazimova. Helen Dunbar, one of filmdom’s most delightful personalities, appears as the narrow, ignorant but lovable mld-Vic-lorian atint of Carlotta. The “nosey” Mrs. Sadis is interpreted by Clarissa Selwyn. The gettings of the production have been arranged with careful attention to details. Especially noteworthy is said to be the mid-Victorian home and garden of Carlotta and her aunt. Behind Its brick walls the bower of forget-me-aots, larkspur, hollyhocks, bachelor’s buttons and roses bloom beautifully in the neat, well-ordered fashion of the period Indicated. Within the house are the lace-covered lamps, the curled hair ornaments, ,the hand-painted china, the horse-hair sofas —just as those of the time knew them. Even greater care has been taken in building the music hall in which Carlotta first meets Diaz. It occupies the full width of the largest Lasky stage and when completed will stand as one of the biggest sets ever built there. Paris, also, is being transported bodily and set down, a small section of it, In the exterior lot of the studio. Artisans have duplicated exactly the distinctive atmosphere of that Parisian quarter in which Carlotta finds again the man who loved —and was lost. -I- -I- -l“THE STRrGGLE” BOOKED AT REGENT. “The Struggle,” described In advance j review* as a rapid-fire story of the new'

west, will be the featured attraction at the Regent all the week starting Sunday. Franklyn Farnum is the star and is supported by Genevieve Berte, Edwin W.

Wollock, Vester Pegg, Bud Osborne and other well known players in western features. The feature is regarded as the most thrilling h which Farnura ever has appeared. Farnum is seen in the role of Dick Storm, an easterner who, after four years of war overseas, goes West in search of adventure. He learns

■ 4^* Franklyn Farnum.

that the father of the girl he has fallen in love with is on the verge of bankruptcy because of the fact that the bank he was interested in has been robbed. Dick joins the gang that has stolen the money ana, after what are said to be many hairraising situations, recovers the stolen money. In addition to “The Struggle" the Regent's program also will include Snub Pollard in one of his latest comedies.

REID MOVIE REMAINS AT THE ISIS NEXT WEEK. Wallace Reid in “Too Much Speed” has proven such a good attraction at the Isis that the engagement has been extended for a second week. This is the fourth of the series of automobile racing pictures starring Mr. Reid, and in it he has again scored the same measure of success he achieved in "The Roaring Road,” "Excuse My Dust” and “What's Your Hurry?” The Btory was written by Byron Morgan who furnished the plots for the previous hits. In fact the principal characters in “Too Much Speed” are those of the other productions too, hence this series of photoplays mark anew milestone in the history of filmdom. There is “Dusty Rhoades” the happy-go-lucky race driver portrayed by Mr. Reid. “Pat MacMurran” the crusty old manufacturer of Pakro cars enacted by Theodore Roberts, and Virginia, his daughter, played in this picture by Agnes Ayres who was Mr. Reid's leading woman in “The Love Special.” The story of “Too Much Speed” is of course, separate and distinct from those told In the other pictures, and once again MacMurran offers the chief obstacle to Dusty marrying Virginia. There is a thrilling race scene taken on the new Beverly Speedway near Los Angeles. Jack Richardson, Lucien Littlefield, Guy Oliver. Henry Johnson and Jack Herbert are also in the cast. Mack Sennett's funny farce. "The Unhappy Finish" in which the members of the Sennett fun and beauty brigades cavort, and a Klneto review subject are other program features. New songs and instrumental selections will be offered by Tade Dolan's versatile entertainers.

MOORE TO APPEAR IN NEW FARCE-COMEDY. Owen Moore will be seen next week at the Colonial in “A Divorce of Convenience.” Mr. Moore enacts the role of Jim Blake

who, 1 a rg e 1 y through the efforts of a tempestuous Mexican seaorita, becomes •o entangled in the web of ridiculous c 1 rcumstances, that it requires five full reels of clean, hilarious fun before Blake finds himself successfully extricated. Blake conveniently allows himself to be used as a corespondent. which causes much of the fun to happen. There are manifold difficulties connected

I think it will look very pretty If any one likes those ‘dolledup’ things.” “Well, you’d better make your workday downstairs on Wednesday,” said Mrs. Hooper, “because I don't want you about while we are in the laundry on Tuesday.” “Very well, mother, I'll do that,” replied Roger. “How is the garden coming on?” asked Mrs. Hooper. “I've been so busy all to It, but it looks very flourishing from week I haven’t had a chanace to get out the back porch." “Oh, it's great this year,” said Roger. “We will have quantities of everything, and I want to ask father about planting some okra.

They plant it a lot in the South, but people in the North are Just beginning to know about it." “Isn't it too late to plant It?” asked his father. “Oh, no, Just the right time,” answered Roger, “and there is a space near the fence where I’d like to try some.”

“I hope It will be as great a success as the Swigs chard that you were so long In starting because you didn’t know what It was.” “Well, we'll see about that okra this afternoon when I come home," said Henry, preparing to leave for his half day at the office. The cleaning of the kitchen pantry was always a disagreeable Job in Helen's estimation, but she didn't seem to mind it a bit today. And all the fresh supplies were neatly in their places on the shelves by luncheon time. Mrs. Hooper felt that she had been neglecting her neighbor, Mrs. Campbell, because of the unexpected things that had been coming up, so before going upstairs to dress she wrote out the recipe for a rice entree of which her family waa very fond and which she had just prepared for the evening meal.

SMITH'S BOOKS NEW RAY MOT lE. Charles Ray In “Scrap Iron,” adapted from the well known story by Charles E. Van Loan, will be the attraction at Mister Smith’s beginning Sunday. In this picture the star has the role of a struggling young mechanic, the sole support of his widowed mother. He has earned quite a name for himself In the little town where he lives as a boxer,

but his mother makes him promise that he will never box again, that he shall let his battles with life be mental rather than physical, whereupon the mlllhands call him “yellow.” When he loses his Job as a result of too much consideration of his mother, and is unable to find work in order to provide for her the things she needs, he is forced to enter the ring once more, Just for the loser's end of the money prizes. He astonished the crowd who has cheered hlfj opponent by knocking him out, winning both the prizes. Overcome with his good fortune, he staggers home to his mother, to whom he confesses that he has broken faith with her, but just for once, and for her, and they plan on leaving for Florida, the land where the mother will regain her health, the next day. Lydia Knott is seen as the mother, and Vera Stedman is the fickle little girl who had passed him when he had refused to fight with one of the town's rowdies, and Tom Wilson is seen as this rowdy, who later proves a friend in need to the hero.

Clergyman may discover lack of Interest and indifference among persons In the congregation, for Uranus affects the mind unfavorably when exercising the sinister power that marks the planet today. Much humidity is foretold for the midsummer days when there will be much suffering among the poor in cities. Persons whose birthdate it is should guard against money losses in the coming year. Children born on this day may be too fond of change to settle down to work, but these subjects of Cancer should be bright and clever. MONDAY, JUNE 27. Astrologers read this as doubtful day. Although Venus and Mercury are in benefic aspect, Saturn and Neptune are adverse. It should be a fortunate rule for theaters and all places wbere persons assemble for the lighter forms of amusement. Women have the best possible direction of the stars today and writers should benefit especially. Neptune exercises today an Influence ibat is not conducive to common sense views and for this reason important decisions should be postponed. Persons whose birthdate It Is should keep business affairs well in hand. The domestic outlook is most favorable. Children born on this day will be Intelligent, Industrious and much respected.
