Never in the history of motion pic

Mollie King, who is to be costarred with Arthur Ashley in "The Summer Girl," which ia coming at the Washington theatre on Thursday and Friday was in two railroad accidents, one ia which over 60 people lost their

lives.

"Can you imagine a young fellow

just out of college, with the true college rig of several years ago peg top trousers, short coat, wide extension soled shoes, comedy hat and noisy socks, getting off of a train at Cody, Wyoming? That creation was me," laughed Wallace Reid, the famous Lasky star, who will be seen at the Murlette on Thursday and Friday in the Jesse L. Lasky production of "The Yellow Pawn." "I was out. hunting for my first job fresh from college knowing everything in the world. I had a letter of introduction to a ranchman near there and he gave me a job as a cowboy and what the other cowboys did to me was a'plenty. I was bucked off horses, sent on wild goose chases found snakes in my. bed, got into fights got licked but there was one thing that I could do and that was swim. Just at that time the Yellowstone River was running at flood, and I dared everybody to swim it with me.

JUNE CAPRICE WINS A HEART

! AMUSEMENTS AT I LOCAL HOUSES I MURRAY NEXT WEEK The first week of Otis Oliver and Players was very gratifying to Mr.

Oliver and that Richmond theatregoers want stock is attested by the fact that twelve thousand people saw this splendid company in their plays last week. Starting Monday "Under Cover" will be the offering, this is a melodrama of modern fashion, with plenty of thrills, innumerable surprises and a pretty love story. Last season it was the dramatic sensation of New York, remaining at the Cort theatre for a year, while in Chicago it enjoyed liberal patronage for more than six months. From a scenic standpoint no detail has been neglected to make the production worthy of the play. For the last half , of the week, Mr. Oliver will offer for the first time in Richmond, Robert Chambers successful story in dramatic form, "The Common Law." It is a successful Broadway plaj', a drama of the sex, but the question is treated with a frank fairness that disarms criticism. It not only entertains, but grips. "The Common Law" i3 a lesson from life and a mighty good one. It is presented convincingly. The usual matinees will be given Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

HELEN HOLMES FEATURES FILM

find that the ballot will instruct him to "vote for four" for second choice. Feat Is Entirely Impossible.

The only difficulty in the way of ful

filling the meaning of the statute in this regard is yiat such a feat is mathematically impossible. , If he votes for four men as first choice, there will be but two left to cast second choice votes for, since the law prescribes that a voter may not vote first and second choices for the . same candidates. Members of the board of election commissioners h,ave this among other intricate and puzzling points to be solved between now and the date of the primary. The time is short for the printing of the ballots and the commissioners expect to get busy early next week to decide on several questions that must be cleared up before the ballots are prepared. It would have been gratifying to both candidates and election officers if Mr. Second Choice Vote had been put to death by the present General Assembly as threatened, but up to date there has been no indication that such a course is contemplated.
