RUNAWAY JUNE.

. For tomorrow's program the Palace

will present the second episode of Geo.

Randolph Chester's great love serial.

"Runaway June." Over two thousand people witnessed the first chapter last Sunday, and from the comment on

the story, this promises to be the

most popular film this theatre has ever offered. In the second episode we see

the sensational chase of the husband

for his runaway bride, with many ex

citing adventures. Those desiring to

follow this story should see it tomorrow. EXPLOITS OF AILAINE.

In the chapter shown Tuesday it would be more accurate to say that Elaine is exploited rather than that she carries out any exploits, since she narrowly misses an unpleasant and slow death arranged for her benefit by the Clutching Hand. Craig Ken

nedy at last discovers the danger, al

though he does not display as much cleverness as would be expected with

the clues so obvious. It is interesting

to note that the mysterious character, the Clutching Hand, appears in a

new disguise. Formerly he has kept his entire face covered by a handker

chief, but in this picture he wears a very heavy full beard, allowing only his nose and eyes to be seen. Pearl White, Arnold Daly and Sheldon Lewis are seen In their regular parts. WEDNESDAY. But for the persistence of Anne

Crawford Flexner it is doubtful if

"Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" would ever have been the successful play that immediate history says it was. tl was this way years ago when Mrs. Alice Hegan Rice wrote the two books, "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" and "Lovey Mary." Mrs. Rice and Mrs. Flexner were friends. Mrs. Rice was a successful novelist; Mrs. Flexner was a practical and successful dramatist.

Theatrical Notes

Promises of the Press Agent.

"PEG O' MY HEART." Oliver Morosco's production of "Peg O' My Heart," the comedy of youth which will be the attraction at the Gennett theatre, Thursday night, February 18, is said to be the most popular play offered In New York in years. When Mr. Manners first wrote "Peg O' My Heart," he had some difficulty in finding a managerwilUng, to , prodlMtf" it. Mr. Morosco, a westerner with an un-Manhattan outlook on life, discovered that the play was "different," that it was without discussion of the social evil, and the everlasting revamping of capital and labor, and likewise eliminated all references to the sexual sin, from all of which material for plays had been drawn to the great extent of late. Mr. Morosco saw in the play the relief for which thea-tre-gcers have long been waiting.

SATURDAY EVENING. "In the Jury Room," Caleb Green, a rich factory owner, is hated by his employees for his cruelty. An able champion of the workers is found In Dr. Middleton, a famous surgeon, and earnest toiler for the betterment of industrial conditions. He threatens to expose Green's flagrant violation of the health regulations in the conduct of his factory unless he reforms. However, by chance, Green gets hold of a letter affecting the reputation of Dr. Middleton's daughter, and using this as a trump card, he defies the doctor to do his worst. The surgeon calls at the Green home and tries to obtain the compromising letter. A quarrel ensues, which happens to be witnessed by a servant, and the doctor leaves. An hour later, the factory owner is found dead, and evidence points to Middleton.

SUNDAY.

"One of Our Girls," the celebrated; drama which so . closely interweaves j the interests of two mighty nations, j presents Hazel Dawn, the artistic little i star who recently achieved a great; stage triumph in the title role of "The Pink Lady." In "One of Our Girls" '

Haezl Dar.n portrays the stellar role, otherwise Kate Shipley. The subject teems with patriotic interest, and the

thrilling situations, combined with the Inspiring sacrifice of the plucky and quick-witted American girl in behalf of her little French cousin, furnish all the elements necessary to the successfull screen drama. MONDAY. "Nell's Strategy." Nell Winter's father is an old scamp who drinks up his money. Maurice. the son of a rich woman for whom Nell makes dresses, becomes infatuated with the girl who is by no means pleased to sea her father and the young millionaire becoming great friends.

Bob discovers a scheme for enriching the company and Is sent to New York to superintend the city office. He writes Nell that as soon as he has the cash saved, he will come back to make her his wife.

Lyric Films "THE VAUDRY JEWELS. The Vaudry Jewels, a two-reel detective drama, featuring Edna Maison, will be shown Tuesday. The photoplay reveals the methods employed by smugglers in getting their contraband wares into America. The American government has an efficient detective service in all European cities which is paid to watch for smugglers. These detectives make the rounds of the fashionable jewelry houses where they obtain reports from the jewelers regarding any large purchases by Americans. THURSDAY. "The Terrors of the Jungle," a tworeel animal drama in which William Clifford and Marie Walcamp enact the leading roles. The photodrama is replete with thrills. The most "active," and that means the most vicious and untamed, of the lions and tigers in Universal City's great zoo were introduced into the picture In order to lend realism to it. . At one point in the story a wild man, lost in the jungle, is torn to pieces by a lioness who thinks her cubs are in danger. Again a lion is driven off the prostrate form of Marie Walcamp. In the filming of this scene, "King," the Universal's big lion, was released preihaturely from his cage.

FRIDAY. "Wolves of Society," a two-reel society drama, features Frank Lloyd and Gretchen Lederer. The photodrama tells, in short, of a daring pair of society crooks, who entrap a wealthy old man, drive his niece from home, and attempt to swindle their victim, out of his fortune. Helen Leslie, Marc Robbins, Frank Bennett, Gretchen Lederer and Frank Lloyd enact the principal roles. The story is as follows: Ruth Mayhew, an heiress, lives with

her uncle, Henry Mayhew, who is also her guardian. She has a sweetheart in Richard Dare, a rising young engineer. Paula, an adventuress, and her accomplice, Gilbert Carstairs, work themselves into the confidence of

Mayhew, posing as brother and sister.

MISS ANNETTE EDMUNDS TELLS OF WOMAN POWER IN 20TH CENTURY

' Miss Annette Edmunds, teacher In the Hlbberd school and. a prominent member of the Woman's Franchise League, read a paper at a meeting of .the league that contains many things of Interest to persons who are in touch with the work. The paper is entitled, "Woman's Power.',' In part the writer says: ; - "In the ages that have gone by, the discussion of such a subject would have appeared ridiculous, but among the wonderful discoveries of the twentieth century none has been more marvelous than that of woman, woman with all her power and Influence in the world. "No one would attempt to say that In mere physical force woman is the equal of or surpasses man, but I am here to declare and hope to prove that as a power in the world and In her effective influence over life In all Its phases, woman plays no second place to man. "As in nature, so it is with mankind, it Is the still small voice that counts, those silent forces that come unheralded that leave the deepest impress on the world. "For thousands of years woman has been denied her rights, has been taught that she is Inferior In all things

and hindered from developing those powers of human nature wherein her true strength lies. "Darwin in his descent of man says: 'It Is true that in women the powers of Intuition, rapid perception and imitation are more strongly marked than

In man, but some of these faculties are

characteristic of the lower animals.'

"But the obvious answer that nearly every name upon the masculine side would be taken from periods when

women were excluded from fair competition, he fails to recognize.

"It is true we do not as often hear

of great women as we do of great men.

It Is rather of good women, those of

intellectual power and force. It Is also

true they have written no 'Iliad,' nor 'Jerusalem Delivered,' no 'Hamlet' nor 'Paradise Lost. They have done

something far greater than all this, for it is at their knees that virtuous, powerful intellectual men have been trained, and women have ever been the In

spiration of their lives. "Now in this twentieth century man Is brought face to face with the fact that woman Is not only his ally but his rival, his competitor. "The head of a large publishing house in New York says: " 'Women are more conscientious
