"The Conspiracy" -

At the Murray S Lyric Films TONIGHT. J. Warren Kerrisan stars in "Stool Pigeon" Loyalty is a splendid traiteven among crooks. When, however, one has been favored for base ulterior purposes one should not feel bound to ally himself with the friends who may have sponsored him to attain their own ends. Crooked politicians usually feel that the man they have assisted to elect shoul, in office, become as putty in their hands. In a Mississippi basin state not so many years ago, a poor lawyer was elected district attorney. The crooked shysters and saloon keepers who put him into office expected him to assist in the enactment of legislation favorable to their ends. They found, however, that the district attorney had a violent antipathy for the crooks who helped elect him. The people of the state, however, soon found that the district attorney was bigger than the men who "made" him and elected him governor. No so long age he was mentioned as a presidential possibility. The crooks who put hi minto the governor's chair, are, some of them, still resting up in the state penitentiary. MONDAY. Ella Hall and Robert Leonard in a scenario especially prepared for them are the stars in "Mavis of the Glen." Mr. Leonard in the staging of the picture brought into requisition the new llniversal yacht, which floats at anchor of San Diego. A trip was made to a beautiful island some distance off the coast of California, where settings of unusual beauty were obtained for the filming of the picture. The story of "Mavis of the Glen" is an unusual one. A charming little lass Is wcoed and won by a New York millionaire, who has a winter home in Los Angeles. The millionaire makes a visit in his splendid private yacht to the island on which the girl lives with her foster-father. Old Pete. The millionaire is infatuated with the wild, natural beauty of the girl and finds in her a Virginia who knows little of the convention of civilization but who has a pure, sweet soul which knows aeither wile nor guile. TUESDAY. With Ben Wilson and Dorothy Philips as stars, "The Ladder of Fortune" is one of the most interesting films shown. An Italian wandering minstrel becomes the protegee of a countess. Following a duel with a rival the minstrel leaves for American, where by befriending a recluse, he comes into a fortune. Despite opposition from his rival and his scheming employer

"The Job and the Jewels" Kid Kennedy, after serving a light sentence for burglary, resolves to go straight. When his old pal, Spider Morrissey, suggests to him that he join him in making a rich haul already planned, he refuses and Spider goes about the job alone. Kennedy reads of it and knows it is Morrissey's work. He goes to his old pal's rooms, removes the stolen jewels and that night returns them to their owner. A detective, suspicious of Morrissey, searches his den in vain. The next morning the newspapers tell how the jewels have been found on a dressing-table, "evidently misplaced." Morrissey realizes that Kennedy has saved him from arrest by the detective. He goes to his friend, and tells him that he has decided to lead an honest life. TUESDAY. "A Man for All That" An ex-convict, James Guthrie, just out of prison, with the five dollars he has been given upon his discharge, helps a wayward boy back to his home in the country. The boy's parents, in gratitude, ask Guthrie to stay with them and Miriam, their daughter, falls in love with the newcomer. The ex-convict, unwilling to couple his name, which is disgraced, with that of the girl's, goes away, leaving her a note of farewell.

"The Crucible"

At the Murray Thursday and Friday.

recent theatrical successes, John Emerson appears in the role originally created by him in the stage production of the drama, that of Wlnthrop Clavering, the eccentric old author of crime stories, and solver of mysteries, a unique and artistic portrayal that especially deserves screen immortality. The production also marks the first presentation of Charles Frohman to the motion picture public. Tuesday and Wednesday. "The Spoilers" The inaugural presentation of "The Spoilers" at Orchestra Hall, Chicago, on Wednesday, March 25th. was given before a notable audience. About two thousand people took advantage of the invitation sent out by the Selig Polyscope company; and they represented leading men and women in the professions, business and art and society circles. Some of them, no doubht, viewed moving pictures for the first time; but the frequent applause that marked the telling incidents showed that all enjoyed the occasion with an enthusiasm akin to that of a schoolboy. "The Spoilers" in film form in this sense appeals to use even more strongly than the book of Rex Beach. We view the living scenes in which plot and counterplot are launched, and watch the principals as they play their parts, whether behind doors or in the open. And we view finally that overpowering scene, where Glenister man against man and not with advantage meets his foe in physical combat, and breaks him with his bare hands. It all seems so real and so just that we whisper, between breaths, "Amen." Arcade Films MONDAY. "Hazards of Helen" Owing to the steep grade at Lone Point, King attempts to tighten the brake of the freight car which is sidetracked at that station. The brake chain snaps and the car commences to roll down hill. Spurred into action by the thought of King's peril, Helen seizes a coil of rope, mounts her broncho and dashes across country Helen's destination is Reed's Gully, through which the freight car must pass before it reaches Elbow Curve. Hastily making the rope fast to trees on opposite sides of the gully. Helen swings out hand over hand until she is above the center of the track. The freight car appears.
