Another ctartling scene is presented in a fight on horseback in which Douglas proves the victor. This is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable bits of its kind ever staged and showst he daring actor leaping from one galloping pony to struggle with u . iAm. nt nih linn s?n1nsr at

The report also shows that the majority of divorce cases were "the result of husband's failing to live up to the obligations of matrimonial vows. Of the 31 divorces granted, 26 were given wives. Thus far in 1917, 165 cases were filed in common pleas court and 3 in the court of oppeals. Cases pending in common pleas court June 30 of this year numbered 209.

success. "Mile. Flfi," by Leo Ditrlchstein, Miss Brady has a thoroughly charming role. Enid Bennett as a pretty young heiress, whom the newspapers have featured as "the richest and most snobbish girl in America," stars in "Happiness," a Triangle play written by C. Gardner Sullivan and produced under the supervision of Thomas H. Ince, which will be shown at the Washington theatre, Thursday. This role is in striking contrast to those which Miss Bennett interpreted in "Little Brother" and "Princess of the Dark." It gives her a better chance to exert her personality and hence should prove the most popular of the three characterizations which she has made for the screen. Robert Warwick, one of the greatest favorites of all moving picture leading men, will next be seen by his admirers at the Washington theatre on Friday and Saturday. His offering wil be "The Silent Master," taken from E. Phillips Oppenheim's novel, "The Court" of St. Simon." The production was directed by Leonce Perret, a noted French producer, who has been engaged by Harry Rapf for the Warwick Selznick-Pictures.

"Skinner's Bubble" On Card at Murray

William - Manning Skinner, having risen to a junior partnership in the big commercial firm of McLaughlin &

Perkins, aspires to higher things. He' figures that by working for himself he can become the Napoleon of the industrial world. Skinner always admired Napoleon. However, having resigned his posi- i tion and set up in business for himself on a big scale, Williams runs onto the.; verge of bankruptcy. He had neglected ; to note that the prestige of the old-i established firm he left had been large-; ly responsible for his past successes, j Does he confess Ms failure to Honey, j his adoring little wife? No! He informs her casually he is making money so fast he cannot count it.. Honey confides this to Mrs. McLaughlin, whoi

in turn tells her husband. McLaughlin and his partner, Perkins, decide they have made a tremendous mistake in letting Skinner get out of the firm. So

it happens that just as Skinner is preparing to go into bankruptcy a miserable failure the partners make him a staggering offer to become the president of their firm. This all happens in "Skinner's Bubble." an Essanay release at the Murray Sunday.
