An ensemble of fifty voices has been arranged as a musical feature by the Circle management for Thanksgiving week in connection with the feature picture. Arnold Spencer, choral director for the Indiana College of Music, has been seleeted as the director and special stage settings have been arranged by W. Hur- I ley Ashby. The music selected for the program will be appropriate to the season. Thomas H. Ince's latest production, “The Cup of Life,” will be the feature screen offering. The story is a romance of two worlds, with the Oriental seaport ts Singapore and the sea as a background. A triple love story is the dominating theme, and the characters are as different as human nature can picture them A rover of the sea, his son, a Chinese merchant prince and his adopted white daughter are the principals about which the story is entwined. No greater love has been pictured on the screen, in song or verse or on the stage than the un- 1 selfish devotion of this big, burly sea rover for a son to whom he has never disclosed the secret of their relationship. Just as devoted, yet from different mo- ; tives, Is the love of the Chinese merchant for the white daughter he has adopted, and no purer love has been written of than that offered by the son to the maiden so zealously guarded by the Chinese merchant. Tne cast includes Hobart Bosworth, Tully Marshall, Niles Welch and Madge Bellamy. Among the big scenes provided Is the thrilling fight between man and a shark beneath the waves, and one of the richest in point of costume and coloring, in which more than three hundred Chinese sppear, is the celebration of the Chinese wedding. The story was adapted to the screen by Joseph Franklin Poland and It was directed by Howland V. Lee. REID. SWANSON* AND DEXTER IN "DON'T TELL EVERYTHING.” Have yon, as a picture fan, ever come across these lines? "What a tangled web we weave When fir<t we practice to deceive.” This might be the text of “Don’t Tell Everything,” which comes to Loew’s State Sunday. It is a Parmount picture, Wallace Reid, Gloria Swanson aDd Elliott Dexter in the feature foies. In the story the handsome Cullen Dale, played by Mr. Reid. Is ensnared In a trap of his own making when he tries to deceive the girl he is engaged to, in some cases, and tells her the truth in others. The result is that she doesn’t believe him at all and when the other woman comes into the story Is Jealous. There is a battle of women's wits and a self-sacri-ficing friend (played by EUiott Dexter), who tries to help Marian (Miss Swanson) to win out against the intrigante, played by Dorothy Cumming. There is a polo game, a scene In a luxurious mountain lodge, some love scenes that are most entrancingly real, a lot of good wholesome comedy and withal the spirit of the out-of doors. The climax is a complete surprise. This is the type of picture that makes you want to hunt and golf and play polo and be an outdoor type. If you can’t

Ethel Clayton beats a vampire woman at her own game, and puts her to rout In clever fashion In the comedy drama, “Exit the Vamp.” which will be shown at the Alhambra next week. The picture provides Miss Clayton with a novel story through which to express her versatility. It Is a tale of domestic relationship wherein a young wife befriends a girl whom she had known till years, and is repaid ty the girl attempting to steal her husband. Instead of creating a scene or llylng*into hysterics, the wife adopts an original and common sense method of blocking the interloper’s game. Learning that her husband has been given a key to the vamp’s apartment, wifey beats him to It and greets him 05 his arrival —not with a tirade of condemnation, but in true vampire fashion, even going so far as to “make up for tho part.” The result is a most interesting situation when the real vamp arrives on the scene, after which the husband returns to his own fireside a much chastened, deeply humiliated man who has suddenly discovered that his wife is about the finest, most lovely woman in the world. In support of Miss Clayton the principal roles are in the hands of such capable players as Theodore Roberts. T. Roy Barnes and Fontaine La Rue. while little Mickey Moore, the clever child actor, also appears. Other program attractions will consist of the Literary Digest, a Larry Semon farce, “The Bell Hop,” and the Fox news weekly. -I- -!- -IALICE BRADY PLAYS CHIEF PART IN MOVIE.

In her anxiety to escape from this life, which she loathes, Natalya falls Into the net of Sotan, a Chinese villain, who pretends friendship for her, and arranges the details of an official betrothal between Natalya and a wealthy Chinaman, \Vu Ting.' As soon as ‘he betrothal settlement Is

B. F. KEITH’S. It was a mean mule that sent Horace Goldin, the magician, back from a recent tour of the Far East, to mystify audiences on the Keith circuit with his latest sensation, “Sawing a Woman In Half,” which he will present for the week of Nov. 28th at the local Keith house. Goldin, who started with a one-man show In vaudeville at SIOO per week, iiad risen to be one of the great magicians, with an organization of thirty-three people and a mule, and a salary of $3,500 per week as a Keith headliner. Furthermore, he was very much at home around the principal courts of Europe, where he had delighted royalty with his tricks at numerous command performances and received the distinguished “Order of the Arts,” from the late Edward VII. During the war, Goldin deqlded to extend his experience by an Asiatic tour. He packed his gang, his equipment and his mule aboard a steamer for the Orient. Over there he found the transportation facilities in a terrible state. Passenger rates were prohibitive—even if room were to be found on any of the large steamers which plied between the principal coast towns. Goldin, therefore, resorted to picking up passage in non-descript little coasting vessels, and playing the small towns, wherever he chanced to land. Most of these landings were made in mid-stream, being no docking facilities, and small boats being used to convey passengers ashore. As time went on Jennie, the mule’ became more and more obstreperous, since each of these landings necessitated her being swung out in a

Finally one day she managed to free herself from the band which held her, and fell on top of the heavily loaded small boat. She was half in and half out of the water, and her frantic straggles promptly swamped the boat. She herself was carried under by the swift river current, and seen no more. And Goldin and his company landed with what they had on their backs, to make their way home as best they could. The magician wired for funds, picked up a miscellaneous lot of magic equipment from the local fakirs, and came back to New York to astonish the metropolis with the most sensational feat of his life. -I- -I- -IJIURAT. That farce of laughs, and not a few gasps, “Ladies' Night,” which recently scored a year's run at the Eltinge Theater, New York, will come to the Murat for the first half of week commencing Nov. 28, with only matinee Wednesday, under the direction of A.
