On The Screen

WASHINGTON , A memorable patriotic offering is "Betsy Ross," with Alice Brady the star, which will be seen at the Washington theatre today and Thursday This production is a World-Picture Brady-Made and because of the historic significance of the play and of the strength of the story and prominence or the star, It is certain to be immensely popular. "Betsy Ross" ia replete with scenes which will stir the patriotism of every , true American. For instance, Betsy Ross is shown receiving her commission from General Washington to make the first American flag. An exact reproduction of her home is shown. The completed flag Is seen and the costumes and homes of the people of the period are faithful It presented. Miss Brady doe3 some cf the most effective acting of her career. A romantic love story enhances the picture's appeal. MURRAY" In "Lost in Transit," George Beban's latest Paramount picture in which he is appearing at the Murray theatre, a new actor, aged two and a half, and familiarly known as "Bob White," makes his screen debut in an important role, although he has worked, a few scenes in two other pictures, the first of which was more or less of an accident. George Beban was working In "A Roadside Impresario" in which, it will be remembered he danced with a trained bear to amuse a crowd of children. "Bot White" was watching Mr. Eeban and the bear dancing, and they all seemed to be having such a very good time that it seemed a shame for a little chap just running over with fun to be left out. So "Eob White joyously cavorted iu. He skipped and danced right in under the camerman's astonished nose and before that gentleman or anyone else had time to say Jack Robinson or "Bob White," he and Mr. Beban j had joined hand and with Bruno, were having the time of their lives. So the camerman kept on grinding and one of the prettiest, most spontaneous scenes of filmdom was registered forever on the long strip of celluloid. As long as "Bob White" had been in one scene they had to let him in for the others and he enjoyed it so much, and made such a hit that ha was again used in Mr. Beban's next picture, "The Cook of Canyon Camp." MURRETTE Nature has endowed Woman with no attribute stronger than sacrifice for her children. Pauline Frederick In her latest Famoits Players-Paramount picture, "The .uove That Lives" depicts a mother an humble scrubwoman but possessing all the mother love of any woman. It is not easy to fancy Pauline Frederick the fastidious and exquisite as a slovenly drudge, but, as might be expected, she has made of the role one of the best pieces of work of -her entire career. "The Love That Lives." which was directed by Robert G. Vignola, will be the attraction at. the Murrette theatre today. MILTON, INB.

Red and Fiery. Could not Sleep. In Two Months Cuticura Healed Sound and Well. "My little daughter began breaking out on her head in small pimples or blisters which discharged a watery fluid. In a day or two these dried and formed a rough, scaly surface. This continued to break out about every two weeks, spreading out larger until her scalp, face, and limbs were covered with large blotches, red and fiery. The itching was so intense we had to keep her hands tied and she could not sleep or let any one else. It was a life of torture. "We heard of Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and began to use them. A wonderful change took place at once and in two months' time she was healed sound and well." (Signed) Mrs. Arch Lagle, Depauw, Ind., Oct 4, 1916.
