Richmond will entertain a prominent club woman from Minnesota next week, in Mrs. Robert Bruce Liggett of St. Paul, who will be here October 6 and 7 for the purpose of discussing with local women the possibilities, merits and demerits of "Twilight Sleep," the process of childbirth which is being made one of the issues of the public health department of the General Federation of Women's Clubs this season. .Mrs. Liggett is not endorsing Twilight Sleep. She Is merely giving information about it, and is representing the Western Motherhood Educational association. She spent three weeks in Detroit lecturing on the subject, and assisted in raising a fund for the establishment of a Twilight Sleep ward in the Woman's Hospital of that city.

ARCADE DISPLAYS FILM DEPICTING SPANISH LEGEND

"The Treasure of Cibola," which will be shown at the Arcade tonight, deals with an old Spanish legend concerning buried treasures. In order to entertain her guests at a week-end party, Barbara Brent, daughter of a an Francisco millionaire, takes them to visit an old padre at the mission. There, in delving through an ancient Spanish manuscript, she barns of the lost treasure of Cibola, of how the old Spanish adventurers, led by an Indian maiden discovered the hiding place of this occumulated store of wealth, there is a misplacement of plans and the treasure still reposes in its hiding place. MONDAY Another thriller is to be seen in "Ablaze On the Rails," an episode of "The Hazards of Helen," which is shown at the Arcade every Monday. Flinging herself at a passing freight car from the rear seat of a speeding motorcycle on which she has been rid ing tandem, is the daring act of Helen Gibson in this picture of danger and action. WEDNESDAY Another one of those exceptional two reel dramas produced by Essanay will be shown at the Arcade Wednesday, "When Justice Won." The cast is composed of Marguerite Clayton, Sidney Ainsworth, John Lorenu and others equally prominent on the screen.

WRECKS MACHINE TO GAIN THRILLS IN STRONG FILM

The costliness of the thrills that put the punch in the motion picture plays is vividly portrayed in "FASQUALK" in the Oliver Morosco Photoplay released on the Paramount Program. In this production one example is the complete destruction of an expensive and perfectly good motor car. The automobile is used to stage a "joy ride" that ends tragically. Corning at reckless speed around a curve on a slippery road the car actually turns turtle and pins Myrtle Stedman, playing Mrs. Martlmlli, underneath, throws mother with terrific force against a barn and lays out the third. This production is coining to the Murrette theatre for one night, Tuesday, October 3.

Neil O'Brien's Great American Minstrels-, will be seen at ihe Washington theatre Wednesday night, October 4. and the promise is given that everything will be new and bright for the present season. This organization, which has rapidly grown, since its inception seemingly only a shcrt time ago is now in its fifth year, and thpre can be no question that Mr. O'Brien and h's manager. Oscar F. Hodge, have placed f lie attraction in the very front rank of minstrel companies and that, too, in a remarkably short space of time. It is promised that for this year there will not be a stale joke, a passe song, or an old piece of scenery in the whole outfit. Some of the features of this year's progress will be a new song and dance number staged by James Gorman, called "The Ebony Yacht Club." which

will enlist the services of ten of America's most nimble-footed torpsichorean
