Occasionally there Is found a man who, when he loves and Is beloved, looks only at the present and the future, never into the past. If. there has been a .dark chapter In the woman's life. It makes no difference to him. But more there are who must believe that there has been no one else whose jealousy reaches back into every year that has gone before. Because of such men, women tell lies. They conceal the misstep, if there has been one,, rather than risk the loss of the man's love. Such a woman Is Grace Marshall, in the new Triangle play, "Not My Sister." at the Murrette Sunday, starring Bessie Barriscale and William Desmond. Wronged by -a sculptor, in her early years, while working as a model for him, she marries later and is happy in her home until the artist comes again into her life, this time with .his evil eye fixed upon her younger sister, whom he asks to pobc . Grace has never told anyone of the man's treatment of her. Unwilling to confess she goes daily with the younger girl to the studio, to see that o harm befalls her. Soon the. husband is filled with jealousy. ii Anna Pavlowa is Featured at Coljseum One of the greatest events in the history of the motion picture art will take place at the ' Coliseum theatre today and tomorrow when Russia's dancer, Anna Pavlowa, will appear on the screen in a. maasave spectacle entitled "The Dumb Girl of Portici.' Although the stage- stars are capitulating to the motion picture screen almost daily, one may not name one celebrity who has so far been enticed from the speaking stage who is in a class with Anna Pavlowa. None of the famous singers, such as Geraldine Farrar, can bring to the screen all of their gifts, such as gave them fame. The voice of the diva cannot be heard in a motion picture theatre, but in the case of Anna Pavlowa. 6he will not only bring all of her consummate artistry to the screen but she may be expected to reveal herself as the greatest living dancer, as the greatest living exponent of pantonine, and as the greatest actress as well.

MISS BILLIE BURKE

Copyrithted 191 by George Klelne -

.In "Gloria's Romance" at the Palace Monday.

. "The Snowbird" at the Coliseum next Friday and Saturday. In this, the second of the distinctive photoplays on the Metro program, starring Mabel Taliaferro, those who enjoyed th,e sparkling character portrayel of this dainty little dramatic artiste in '.'Her Great Price," will find an abundance to delight and thrill them anew. Miss Taliaferro, as a madcap society girl, who meets her fate in the wilds of the Canadian North woods after a host of sensational adventures, has registered one of the most notable delineations of her artistic career and one that will vastly increase her already legion admirers. Edwin Carewe who directed Ethel Barrymore in "The Final Judgment," Emily Stevens in "Destiny, or the Soul of a Woman," ahd other Metro wonderplays, directed ".The Snowbird" and also plays the leading male role in it. His woodsman, whos virile qualities win first the admiration and then - the lose of the whimsical maid, portrayed by Miss Tali3ferro, is distinctly impressive and true to life. - -

Billie Burks is at Palace Monday Night Billie Burke, who is considered by many theatrical critics America's most charming actress, has been engaged at a salary of more than $4,000 per week to play the. leading, role in "Gloria's Romance," the new motion picture novel from the pen of Mr. and Mrs. Rupert Hughes. Foreseeing that the picture would probably be the year's best attraction, Manager Robert Hudson of the Palace theatre hastened to book it for his patrons, even though he found it necessary to pay a rental price far above that of his regular run of films. Women particularly find much to admire in winsome little Miss Burke, and her fame as the best dressed star in the United States will be more than maintained in "Gloria's Romance," for during the course of the production she is to appear in some specially designed frocks by Henri Bendel, Lucile and Balcom. which cost more than $40,000. She is cast as Gloria Stafford, the daughter of a millionaire banker of New York, and she dresses the part in ever way in keeping with so wealthy a girl. The first chapter of this unusual production will be shown at the Palace theatre on Monday.

Dorothy Gish Rocks the Boat at MurrayTheatre

In these days of woman's place in the broader fields of the world's work, the note struck in the opening scenes of the new Triangle play, "Susan Rocks the Boat," at the Murray Sunday with Dorothy Gish in the leading role, has peculiar significance. Susan is a girl reared without a responsibility to her name. She has a fortune of her very own, home, servants, horses, automobiles and all that is part of a life of luxury. Yet she already has begun to feel the desire to be up and doing. It so happens that Susan has the wherewith to rock the old family boat and create a little excitement for herself; so hers is an ideal situation. Susan has opportunity to marry,

with a brainless little society fop as a candidate for her hand; but fortunately, she takes her fling before, and finds a red-blooded man who knows how to handle himself when necessary. :

Trick at Cards Helps Climax ; in Lyric Film i ... "The Man from " Nowhere," at th'e Lyric Sunday. "Before we look at ouf cards, I know that, I have a - winning hand, and I also know what card eaci one of you holds." This announcement by James Herron to a party of his friends who were engaged in a friendly game of poker caused consternation.

Herron was a fine fellow, and his sister, Betty, were great favorites in the small town where they had been born and brought up.

Women Change Picture Play ' to Show Life

The : power, of women to carry a point was ably demonstrated recently at the Gaumont winter studios, Jacksonville, Fla., where Director Edwin Middleton had "The Criminal Thumb" in work. According to the scenario, written by ; Lionel . Barrymore and Wright -Huntington, the heroine married the youpg lawyer who bad secured the .freedom of, the . weak young man she loved when the play opened. Miss Iva Shepard was the first to say a woman . would not . desert the man she loved even if he had made a false step through weakness. They threatened to strike unless the photo-drama was changed.- When "The Criminal Thumb" . , is seen on the screen at Theatorium Monday, the logical feminine ending will be used. This was done to avoid a strike.
