Flickers of What's Comingto Murrette

"The Slave Mart," with Marguerite Snow In the leading role,' is a story of a pure young girl whose path is crossed by human vipers, who,- for gold and to satisfy the lust. of men, seek in womanhood what they can devour. Miss Snow is taken to the slave market where virtue Is bought and sold. How she' meets the wealthy American, and later falls in love with him. only to find his affections growin$ day by day for another girl, forms the balance of the story. "The Slave Mart" will be shown at the Murrette

theatre today and Sunday. Baby Marie Osborne, the dimunitive Pathe star, who has laid" a pathway of good cheer around the world, has never before had such' an opportunity for the portrayal of those delightful babyhood stories as is offered in "When Baby Forgot." produced by Lasalida Films Inc.. and to be a feature at the Murrette theatre soon. Th. story is by Harrish ingrahm, the direction by Eugene Moore. Both are famous. The combination assures r. perfect, production and a delightful evening of entertainment.

' Pierre Duval, a Frenchman, in "The Bond Between,"-at the Murrette Monday and Tuesday, earns enough to support his son Jacques, as an art student in Paris, by teaching piano playing. He lives with three cronies in a French boarding house in the New York Latin quarter. The impending var sends Jacques home from Paris and as he. is about to leave, Raoul Vaux, a crooked art dealer, induces him to bring some cleverly disguised paintings with him. knowing that the art student's work will be passed at the custom house with but a glance from the custom officers. Th4 secret service suspects Jacques of being Vaux, and Ellen Ingram, a clever girl operative, is put on. his trail, and she moves to the same boarding house, where Jacques and his father live. The father, proud of his son, tries to keep his financial condition concealed, and secures a position as night watchman at. an art gallery. The city slickers are all the time putting it over on the country ' boys, lake the case of Jack Dean, for Instance. Mr. Dean is the husband of Fannie Ward, and will be seen in her

support in the Lasky-Paramount picture "The School for Husbands." at the Murrette. Wednesday and Thursday, has been brought up in the rural

surroundings of the Lambs': Club, and has never been in any -city larger than New York , or Paris in his .life. " Consequently on . his recent trip to Tia Juana he fell an easy victim to sharks. John Servier, in ' High Play," at the Murrette Friday, witnesses a murder end through force of circumstances, cannot tell the police. He knows the murderer to be a scoundrel and deserving of the death penalty, and though the brother of his sweetheart is accused. John still remains silent, for he cannot tell what he knows without sacrificing a woman's honor and the love of his sweetheart.In this situation, ' William Russell, a? John Servier, torn by the force of love, duty and a strong force of chivalry, stakes everything on the wheel ot fate and wins. .

"Pots and Pans" is Arcade Attraction

Another great success to be shown at the Arcade starting next week under the title of "Pots. and Pans Peggie," featuing Gladys Hulette, production by Thanhouser, Pathe Gold Rooster. Peggy McGraw took a job as general cook and bottle washer and this led to her recovering .valuable government papers. Peggy not only cleaned up the house but she also cleaned up the cooks. In "Potts and Pans Peggy," Gladys Hulette has another one of those roles In which she is so captivating. This is a clean, wholesome picture that you will enjoy. See it at the Arcade theatre next week. ; Watch!

for the announcement.

WAR RULES LAID DOWN FOR PANAMA CANAL ZONE

IRISH ARE GREAT TALKERS

LONDON, June 23 According to "Hansard" the official record of Parliament, John Dillon was the greatest talker during the session from February 7 to May 4, his speeches and remarks occupying 183 columns of the record. Laurence Ginnell, another Irishman, easily holds the record for wanting to know things, 344 questions standing to his credit.

WASHINGTON, June .23. To meet war conditions, President Wilson has approved' new regulations for the Panama Canal, prescribing the length of time belligerent warships may remain in canal waters and the conditions under which they may coal and provision. , To insure a free and open waterway on terms of equality to merchant ships and warships, it is ordered that that there shall not be, except by special arrangement, at any one time 'a

greater number of vessels of any one nation, other than the United States, i

including those of the allies of such nation, than three In either terminal port and its adjacent terminal waters

or more than three in transit through the canal,' nor' shall the total number of such vessels, at any one time exceed six in all the, territorial waters of the canal zone.

. The marvelous qualities of life, action and atmosphere to which the Wm. Fox photoplays ' attain ' were .never more wonderfully exemplified than In "The Final Payment," Sunday and Monday at the Washington, in which Nance . O'Neil America's foremost tragedienne, Is featured. The scenes of the play are laid in Sicily and from photographs and - sketches brought back from abroad- an exact counterpart of the Sicilian fishing village of Ajhacio was built at Fox Park. The play Itself affords Miss O'Neil abundant . opportunities for the display,, of her transcendent powers of emotional expression. . .. . . .1 "Temperament," says Molly King, Pathe - star s who is featured, in the "Mystery of the Double. Cross" serial, the ninth episode of . which is to be at the Washington (theatre Monday and Tuesday, "has . no place in the moving picture studio. Generally we're so busy that we have no time for foolishness. "There are many people who have an Idea that posing for the pictures is all play and no work. If I were'nt so interested In -my work that I .consider It play, I would say that just the reverse is true. Working for the motion pictures Is all work and very little play. In making "Mystery of the Double Cross," there were many n;ornings when v;e got up with the sun and worked all day until the sun went down again. By that time we were so tired that we were ready to retire immediately after dinner." . . I

In the newest William Fox Super De Luxe photodrama, "Her Greatest "Love," at the Washington, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Miss Bara in several scenes portrays the charaacter of Vere Herbert, a sixteen-year-old girl.

In reading over the manuscript Miss Bara remembered that she had several short dresses which had been packed away when she donned long skirts, and put up her hair.: A search revealed a pretty little gingham frock, and a "party" dress. The first day of the scene. Miss Bara appeared in the studio -with her beautiful black hair,, loose, tied with a ribbon, and her checked gingham frock the illusion was ; perfect so perfect in fact, that Director J. Gordon Edwards asked who. the shy 'little girl was. The only comment Mr. Edwards made was, Wery choice. Very choice." -; - Robert Warwick and Gail Kane, the popular film stars, are seen together in "The False Friend," the new WorldPicture Brady-Made which will be the attraction at the ' Washington theatre Tuesday .and Wednesday, i The drama In " which these , ; two accomplished screen players are seen, is a glowing romance in which the - hero loses his sweetheart, his standing in the world and his life's hope through the villainy of a false friend. He becomes down and out.. He hits the lowest levels of humanity. And then his inherent manliness and stimina asserts Itself, and he rises to a new self confidence and a new determination. Robert Warwick is convincing and likeable in this role.

J 1,

Miss Kane in the role of his sweetheart is winsome and effective. All the other members of the company are splendidly cast. All in all this is a very superior production, an exceptional offering. See it. .

"The Divorce Question" will be the offering with the Otis Oliver Players for the first half of next week starting Monday at the Murray. This play does not mince either words or situations and leaves a lasting impression on the spectator. Its situations while brutal in their intensity are unfortunately not overdrawn. It is a play with a moral that is a moral. There is a splendid vein of comedy all through the play that relieves the serious situations. The play for the last half of the week ' will be the comedy-drama "Which One Shall I Marry?" A question every man and woman should decide. During the week the usual matinees will be given. At the Tuesday

EMPHATIC ENDORSEMENT FROM HUGH J. SPENCER, Priest in Charge St. Margaret's Church . , TVindnor Park. III., April 25. 1917 My Dear Mr. McGuirr: 1 was present at the play "The Divorce Question" Tuesday afternoon and wish to say that your presentation of the subject is all that could be desired from the point of view of any Churchman whether Roman or Episcopal. The action of the artists in presenting your play is unquestionably of the first order. I consider it one of the strongest productions of its kind I have ever seen in Chicago it goes straight to the heart of this great moral question and granhically and truthfully portrays the horrible nature of this terrible cancer which is eating its way Into the very vitals of our social fabric. Verv sincerelv, HUGH J. SPENCER.

All Married People Should Witness It. All Married People Contemplating Divorce Should Learn its Lesson. All Unmarried People Should Heed Its Warning, Don't Marry Until You See This Play. Don't Get Divorced Until You See It.

THE CHICAGO RECORD-HERALD.; Jas. O'Donnell Bennett ."If. the author's eontentions r were .established the solemnity of marriage would be enhanced."
