In the Orchestra

The Violins

The concert of the strings is sound as sweet As birds at sunset, carolling on high, Vibrating in a tender nuanced sky, While the young liquid moon slips down to meet The rose-meshed evening star. Or as we keep Tryst with our hidden ardours, loves which lie In deepest depths of mystery and dye Emotion's ebb and flow, and are as fleet. A shining silver fabric in whose weave Will all the threads of melody attune To one harmonious whole. WThere light and shade Are 'broidered in so deftly it will leave A perfect pattern. As in Life's great loom The strands of Fate are fixed beyond man's aid. Esther Griffin White.

The Consolidated Insurance Co., of which Taylor Dodge is president, has lost considerable money through the mysterious robberies of the master criminal known as the Clutching Hand. Perry Bennett, a young lawyer assistant to Dodge, is endeavoring to discover the criminal. Being of an affable and pleasing personality, he creates a deep impression upon Elaine, his employer's beautiful daughter. Dodge is visited by Linipy Red, a gunman wronged by the Clutching Hand. Limpy Red advises him how the mysterious crook can be found, and gives him directions to find his lair. Dodge dismisses the gunman, and on returning to his office finds a mysterious note, advising him to at once destroy the directions received. It is signed by a well-drawn picture of a Clutch

ing Hand. Greatly perturbed he re-1 turns .to his home. Stepping out of I his limousine, he is surprised to find j

an envelope with his enemy's trademark pasted on the door. Entering his home he is met by Elaine, Bennett, and Jameson, a reporter. He refuses to be interviewed by the reporter, and enters his library, where he deposits Limpy Red's directions in his safe. Jameson, hearing Dodge remark that he has discovered the Clutching Hand, hastens to his friend Craig Kennedy, a noted detective, and tells him the news. Kennedy, arrived at the Dodges' home, arouses the servants, and explains his fears for their master's life. Hearing the .whining of Dodge's dog, they hasten to the library, and there discover finger prints on a plaster bust. Thoroughly examining them he is greatly surprised to notice that they are his own finger prints. He realizes the cunning villan with whom he has to cope. Bennett, consoling the grief-stricken Elaine, registers a solemn vow to consecrate his life to bringing the Clutching Hand to justice. Another-Woman-Made Happy.

Arcade Films Monday corned "The Escape on the Limited," to the Arcade. Brandt, a defaulting cashier, hides in' Lone Point in his effort to throw

detectives off his track. Shortly after his arrival, the defaulter witnesses the destruction of a farmer's wagon by a passenger train.

He wires Helen to hold Brandt until he can come up from the city. Brandt gets wind of this, however.

Lyric Offerings "Re-unlted" -At the Lyric Monday, There are few of us who do not believe in a spiritual life after death. Theosophists, the learned yogees and disciples of Buddha and many nativeborn Americans subscribe to the doctrine of reincarnation. Many are the arguments brought forward in support of the theory. The musty volumes of the reports of the British and American Society for Psychical Research teem with instances of memories of former existences and of some really remarkable cases which have been sustantiated by scientists.

"A Gentleman of Art" At the Lyric Wednesday. Diamond smugglers give the cleverest detectives in the metropolis a thrilling battle and chase in "A Gentleman of Art," a two-reel Imp detective drama which will be featured in this thrilling story of life among the brainy criminals of the underworld, are Dorothy Phillips, Howard Crampton and William Welsh. Stuart Paton has written an exceptionally clever photodrama in "A Gentleman of Art," one which deals with the ways of the keenest minds of the crook profession. The cruder element of these oceagoing sharpers frequent the smoking

room, where card games are in progress, but the leaders In "the profession" work more slowly and for greater stakes. Thursday. "The Governor Maker" Is a 101 Bison, two-reel modern drama of industrial life and conditions, featuring Marie Walcamp and William Clifford. A sensational scene, in which a factory girl is pinioned to a post amid the burning ruins of wooden factory tables is shown. Other scenes, which carry the much-desired punch," are those showing a mob baiting the owner of the factory, who finally is compelled to flee for his life. The film is full of plot and counter-plot, and in fact contains three distinct episodes, each one of which would make an excellent story in itself.

Theatrical Notes

Promises of the Press Agent

"A Small Town Girl" Lyric Friday. Here is a drama with a world-old situation, the story of a simple country girl, misled by her'vanity and love of pleasure, eloping with a city man. It is a time-worn story told in a new way by a company of piayers who have gained the top rung in screen acting and characterization. One important point that is brought out in th play is this: Contrary to the conventional belief, the man is made to pay in the end. In fact, there is no escaping the suggestion that a man will always "pay" just as dearly as the woman.
