The week ending last Saturday at the B. F. Keith Palace Theater will be one long to be remembered. While Anniversary Week was being observed all over the far-flung circuit with gala program | and official features, the tribute to Mr. [ E. F. Albee and the Keith Institution, at the “mother house” was confined entirely, at their own suggestion, to famous stars and celebrated personages who have played conspicuous roles in the history of vaudeville as represented by the third of a century celebration. The complete list of these has not been printed, and it is worth recording. At the matinee on Monday, the first day of the Jubilee Week, Lillian Russell came from Pittsburgh for the express purpose j of making a personal appearance on the 1 Palace stage. Throughout the week, on j the program arranged by Manager Elmer I Rogers, there appeared George M. Cohan, ! Sam Bernard. Raymond Hitchcock, James • Thornton, the Lee children, the White j Sisters, Houdini, Gus Edward. Harry Fox, Norma Talmadge and many others, and Saturday and last evening the climax was reached by the “surprise” appearance upon the stage of Weber and Fields and Julia Arthur, and the entrance of Lieut. Com. John Philip Sousa in the i orchestra pit, where as a tribute to the Keith idea, and the encouragement it has given young American musicians, the fa ! ous March King led the Palace orchestra as it played his most famous march,! "Stars and Stripes Forever." Miss Julia Arthur ended the week's activities with a stirring eulogy In which she spoke of the wide and varied usefulness of the Keith theaters. la conclusion, she read this telegram from the American Red Cross: "My Dear Mr. Albee—At this time, when you are celebrating the Thirl of a Century Anniversary of your excellent work in the field of vaudeville entertain ment, l feel that it Is particularly fitting that the Red Cross should express to you, for the organization and for the pa tients at Walter Reed Hospital and elsewhere, hearty congratulations and best wishes for the continuance of this more than successful enterprise. You have brought pleasure to thousands, and not the least of these are the ill and convalescing war heroes, to whom the regularity and excellence of the shows has meant a great deal. A good laugh Is better than a good ton!'’, and your artists have never failed to prove en’ertalnlr.g and Interesting to the patients here. This in itself is a worthy accomplishment. "In closing, please accept the sincere thanks of the Red Cross for your loyal support, and for your faithful, friendly and cooperative personal interest anil that of your managers and the various performers everywhere and at all times. Most sincerely, "MARGARET H. LOWER. "Field Director the American Red Cross." A GERMAN NAPOLEON. BERLIN.

The northwoods lumber village was as evenly divided as though emissaries from heaven and hell had agreed upon an even split. On one side was the community of stern, godlike spirits ruled over by Enoch Kidder. On the other the air was rife with the cry of pleasure and the curse of hate, for it was a maelstrom of evil things presided over by Aaron Kidder, estranged brother of Enoch. Through Enoch's son.

In millions of homes reproductions of their works were hung, equally venerated by lovers of art and devotees of religion. But till, art yields place year by year to the more potent appeal of the ; cinema. The million get their beauty from the picture pala-e. It Isn't sacj rilege to speak of Saints Lillian and

Dorothy, as this artist proposes to show. The personage most widely looked up to and admired fills the ideal of humanity. Why not, then, the aureola around the head of Lillian Gish? She enchanted millions as Elsie Stoneman in “The ! Birth of a Nation,” roused patriotic fervor in "Hearts of the World,” mirrored beauty and pathos in “Broken Blossoms” and “Way Down East,” and now offers the supreme sacrifice of sister love as Henrietta in "Orphans of'the Storm." The first four plays have been witnessed by at least one-quarter of the world’s billion and a half population. To each of the 350,000.000 she occupies a saint's niche of delicate and lovely femininity that moves to sympathy and tears. As Louise, the blind sister in "Orphans of the Storm,” Dorothy Gish will ultimately be aureoled in the hearts of as | many worshippers. She has progressed j from the fluffiest of comedy roles to char- j acter depiction of a Mgh order. The por- j trayxl does not suffer by comparison with j Kate Claxton’s celebrated one in tho stage play of “Tbs Two Orphans,” the I story foundation for D. W. Griffith's j clwmatie epic. "Orphans of the Storm," which urS.er a United Artists Corpora- j lion release is starting its second Week at the Ohio Theater, Sunday, May 7. Louise never for a moment loses her hold ; on the spectator's interest, sympathy and affection—a real triumph, for "blind" roles are unusually monotonous except in the hands of the very finest players. The Misses Gish have gone to the top of the Calendar within a very short period, notwithstanding they have been players from childhood and stars since before “The Birth of a Nation” days. Their eminence is the result of their rich expe rience as well as of their genius. The new Ariel's girdle that the movie puts around the earth makes them universally popular. Thirty years ago n well lithographed Madonna sold a hundred thousand or more copies ami netted the publisher $25,000. The modern movie Madonnas circulate, everywhere, both natronago and income being in the millions. There are no National, continental, oceanic nor creed boundaries to the fin de sleele worship of beauty. “Orphans of the Storm" begins Its second week at the Ohio Sunday afternoon.

talned for a second week. Another stage presentation will be the prison scene from “II Trovatore.” The short films include a scenic pictorial novelty, the Circlette of News and Topics of the Day. A program of popular music has been arranged and will j be presented by the orchestra of thirty pieces. Miss Talmadge In "The Primitive Lover” is cast as a girl seeking romance. She is married a common, every-day sort of man who is unable to forget a rival sweetheart. The absence of this persons, supposed to be in India in search of material for what he has an nounced will be his greatest novel, In no ! wise allays the jealous thoughts of the j husband, and when he hears a story, j which he knows to be untrue —that the i novelist has died In India —his position, at times, seems to him to be unbearable.

Harrison Ford and Kenneth Harlan, ' respectively, play the roles of the hus band and the novelist, and the cast also includes .Toe Roberts, Charles Pino, Chief Big Tree, Matilda Brundage, George Pierce and Clyde Benson. -1- -i- -i- ; “TWO KINDS OF WOMEN" NEXT MOVIE AT SMITH’S. Pauline Frederick In “Two Kinds of Women,” will be the feature attraction I at Mister Smith's beginning Sunday. This picture is based on the story, 1 "Judith of Blue Lake Ranch,” and shows j Miss Frederick at her best. The star is seen as part owner of a cattle ranch In the West. One day, in her palatial New York home, she realizes that her affairs in the West are not | being handled properly, because of a disi honest foreman, and she hastens to her ranch, appearing unexpectedly to discharge the foreman and take the management of the place In her own hands. From that moment on, things begin to happen with dramatic swiftness, and show how Judith, with the help of a cowboy, checkmates the ex-foreman's attempt to ruin the ranch. Tho picture gets its name from the fact that the man whom Judith really lores thinks she is not the real feminine, clinging-vlne type of society girl, who has always occupied chief p,ace In his dreams ,but is brought to realize his
mistake when he sees Judith arrayed for the annual ranch ball, at which she totally eclipses her young rival from the Baßt. Tom Santschl appears opposite Miss Frederick, and Dnvid Winter, Charles Clary, Eugene Fallette, Jean Calhoun and Stonhape Wheatcroft appear in prominent roles In her support. A comedy and news reel and special music complete the bill.
