Next Week's Bill at Murray

AT MURRETTE THURSDAY

George M. Cohan in "Seven Keys to Baldpate" at the Murray Sunday and Monday. The story: George Washington Magee (George Cohan) makes a bet that he can write a novel in twenty-four hours. His adversary sends him to his summer hotel, Baldpate Inn, where he may have absolute quiet. There is only one key to it, he is told, and that is in his possession. But as soon as G. W. Magee starts writing, a succession of startling events, occur. There proved to be seven keys to Baldpate, and when the seven persons gain admittance to the lonely inn, a wild and furious melodrama is unfolded before the eyes of the bewildered author. All he succeeds in doing is to fall in love with the heroine of it. Then the characters disappear, and it is discov

ered that Magee has been writing all the while. The heroine of the story turns out to be a newspaper woman, vho comes to interview him later on.

Synopsis of the hostage.

Brigadier Kemper, at the hefed of a

division of Lowlanders, has invaded the peaceful country of the mountain

eers. Caught in a bad position, he is forced to give his only son. Lieutenant Ivo Kemper, as hostage for the good conduct of the invaders on their retreat. The Brigadier means to violate the truce, so he persuades his son to carry a dirk concealed on his person and warns him to be prepared, on a given night, to make good his escape from the mountaineers. Turned over to the custody of Boyadi, one of the mountainer leaders, Lieutenant Kemper is prepared for

mistreatment at the hands of those whom he looks upon as savages. Instead of that, however, he finds Boyadi all that is considerate and kindly, and after some preliminary skirmishing, he becomes much interested in Boyadi's daughter, the beautiful Nathalia. The night appointed for his escape comes speedily, but Lieutenant Kemper realizes, to his horror, that he can escape only by killing Boyadi.

Owen Johnson's world famous stories of Lawrenceville school, "The Varmint," which created a sensation both in magazine and in book form has been adapted for the screen by Paramount with Jack Pickford in the stellar role. As John Humperdink Stover, alias "The Varmint," Jack Pickford is an extremely sensitive and highly imaginative young man. Instantly christened "Dink" upon his arrival at the school, Stover tries to impress the fact upon his schoolmates that he is a wild young desperado for whom the law was never written. He confides the reasons for his having been expelled from the previous school and these reasons vary every time they are given, running from putting asafetida in the stove to endeavoring to commit murder. On the way to school he has stolen everything movable and ' he arrives with a splendid collection and the avowed intention of showing the school up. He is rebellious, ungovernable, and as gullible as a two-year-old child in the hands of the older boys of the school. "The Varmint" will appear at the Murray theatre soon.

Having scored many wonderful successes since her entry into pictures, Mae Murray, the charming star,, will be seen at the Washington theatre tonight in the Friedman Enterprises, Inc., production, "A Morman Maid," something entirely different from anything' she has ever done before. The feature is a thrilling six-part drama taken from the famous novel of the same name by Paul West. The story is of unusual interest, dealing with conditions with which the average American is unfamiliar. Miss Murray is supported by an excellent cast, including such distinguished photodramatic artists as Ilobart Bosworth, Edythe Chapman, Frank Borzage, Noah Beery and others.

The spirit and romance of old Mexico, and the hazardous adventures which overtake an American army officer in search of a bold, bad bandit, form the story of the new William Fox production, "Betrayed," which R. A. Walsh has just completed with Miriam Cooper in the leading role. This picture, another wonderful product of Director Walsh's genius, begins a run at the Washington theatre on Monday afternoon and Tuesday. The story tells of a senorita's dreams of love. She begins by promising to marry one man. Before the picture is ended, she has promised to marry three. The Washington theatre takes pleasure in announcing the appearance on Wednesday and Thursday of Miss Ethel Clayton in "The Woman Beneath," the new World-Picture BradyMade. This drama is one of the most delightful that has ever been filmed and Miss Clayton's role is lovable and entrancing. In fact the role of Betty Fairchild in this picture gives Miss Clayton one of the very best opportunities of her career. The story is a. modern drama of New York with

the principal character a young society debutante who marries a wealthy Western mine owner for his

money and who later tells her hus-i band that she does not love him. But j she experiences a change of heart un-1

play ends happily for both wife and husband. "The Woman Beneath" Is a thoroughly enjoyable production, an exceptional production from all angles. See it.

When "The Whip" was first shown privately in New York City to a little group of leading film men, the verdict was unanimous that here was a wonderful picture. "It has everything that a motion picture should have," said one man, "and none of the things that a motion picture should not .have. It has snap, dash, fire, romance, youth, thrills, excitement, big scenes and splendid actors. It is staged on a lavish scale. It has been superbly directed and the photography is perfect. This Is a wonderful production." The people of this city will have the opportunity of adding their chorus of approval to the general verdict of all people who like a good entertainment, for "The Whip" is coming here. This supreme offering of filmdom will be the attraction at the Washington theatre on Friday and Saturday.

Catarrh For Ten Years Peruna Made Me Well

AT MURRETTE

Mr. Charles S. Many, No. 12 Water St., Ossining, N. Y., writes: "I had catarrah for ten year, and tried a great many kinds of medicines, which cost me a lot of money, but did me no good. Instead of getting better, I seemed to get worse. My eyes were bloodshot, my nose smelled so bad that I was ashamed to go in company. I was night guard at the prieon, and I would get so dizzy that I would have to catch hold of something to keep from falling. I read about Peruna in the New York World, and thought -I would give it a trial. I used about ten bottles, and I am cured of catarrh, and the dizzy feeling has left me and I am not bothered with it any more. I keep Peruna in the house, and when I feel a cold coming on I take a little bit of it and it does me good."

Used Ten Bottles. Am Cured of Catarrh. Keep Peruna in the Home.
