i! On The Screen

Following the great success of his "Skinner" pictures, Bryant Washburn appears in "Filling His Own Shoes," a highly amusing story taken from Henry C. Rowland's novelette in Alnslee's Magazine. "Filling His Own Shoes" forms an ideal story for Washburn. Rowland has conceived one of the most amusing situations ever written. He puts a typical American shoe clerk over in Paris, France; makes him lose his job, then lets him inherit a fortune and a Turkish harem. At the Murray Saturday. Rev. John P. Brushingham, the noted Methodist divine of Chicago, delivered an eloquent sermon on courtship, marriage and divorce to an enthusiastic congregation, numbering over a thousand men and women. At the conclusion of his sermon, Dr. Brushingham advised every member of his congregation to witness the showing of the masterful photoplay on these questions, "Should She Obey," at the La Salle theatre. At the Murray, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

"The Adventurer" is a photo-dramatization of the famous novel of the same name, written by Upton Sinclair, the well-known sociologist and writer. It features Marion Swayne, one of the most dramatically effectives stars on the screen, and was directed by Madam Blache, for the U. S. Amusement corporation. The story of the photoplay is unusually thrilling, and the romantlo element in it is remarkably original. Upton Sinclair sketched his characters with the deft, sure hand of the master in the original book, and the picturization has added, if anything, to the Intense drama of the story. At the Murrette Saturday. "One Touch of Nature," an Edison five-part photodrama, adapted from Peter B. Kyne's famous novel of that name, which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, will be presented next Sunday at the Murrette theatre. This picture is released through George Kleine's K. E. S. T. distributing organization. It Is hailed by critics as an unusual Btory with strong human appeaL The two charming young stars, Louise Huff and Jack Pickford, will be

seen at the Murrette on Monday and Tuesday in Marian Fairfax's photocramatization of Gene Stratton Porter's celebrated novel, "Freckles." The story is probably one of the most familiar in the English language. As a novel it had a great circulation and later was dramatized and played on the stage. The story Is exactly suited to these clever young people who, as co-stars, recently scored such a success In "Great Expectations" and "Seventeen." Fannie Ward, the brilliant LaskyParamount star, who with each appearance on the screen adds fresh thousands of her hosts of admirers, will be seen at the Murrette on Wednesday and Thursday in "Unconquered," a thrilling drama of modern society life written especially for her by Beatrice C. DeMille and Lelghton Osmun. In her recent production, "The School for Husbands," Miss Ward is seen as a young wife who teaches her rather wayward husband that "Unconquered" she is seen as the wife of a relentless millionaire who devotes all her time to her little son, Billy.

days to recover the Diamond and now that the setting is in Pearl's possession, he must recover it as well, so he forces hi way into her library. Knox Inform Pearl that both their lives are in danger, and now that she has the setting, there Is only one way! They must work together to recover the Violet Diamond. To this. Pearl agrees. Suppose you were a wife of two years and your husband always confided you, and suddenly he refused to tell you anything more about his business affairs. Wouldn't you feel neglected.

SUNDAY

The Play That Startled all Chicago It points the way to freedom from the customs of barbarism which have wrecked the lives of millions of women. It lays bare the glaring facts of poisoned marriage and divorce, which are destroying American home life; facts revealed by the Illinois Marriage and Divorce Commission, headed by Judge Marcus A. Kavanagh, and the Illinois Senate Vice Committee. Don't Miss This True Story from Actual Life Critics declare the story to be the American "Les Mlserables." It is not a sex problem play. It is a clean, forceful story from real life. It reveals the actual heart throbbing miseries of the discarded wives of American multimillionaires who with all the brutality of barbarism have killed the very souls of those whom they swore to love and protect the souls from whom they have demanded faithful obedience. Among the prominent personages who appear personally on the screen in "Should She Obey" are Governor Emmet Boyle of Nevada; the Supreme Court and the entire membership of the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Nevada, Judge Marcus Kavanagh of Chicago, and former Lieutenant Governor Barratt O'Hara.
