THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, SATURDAY, SEPT. 21, 1918.

AMUSEMENTS I

SALOME WILL BE SHOWN AT MURRETTE "Salome," with Theda Bara as the notorious ward of Herod, celebrated In song and story, will begin an engagement extraordinary at the Murrette theater, three days starting Thursday, September 26. General attention was first directed to this Scriptural siren, as translated to the stage, when Richard Strauss' grand opera of that name, with Mary Garden in the title role, was banned at the Metropolitan Opera House after Its first performance. Miss Bara's proven proficiency as a portrayer of superhuman warrants the assumption that in the character of Salome she, above all others who ln- " terpreted the role In one guise or another, reveals the true psychology of this strange creature of history. J. Gordon Edwards, under whose direction the screen spectacle was produced, put six months of the hardest kind of i concentration on "Salome." In Jerusalem of King Herod's day he discovered opportunities for even more sumptuous settings, and the amaring symmetry, opulent color, stately simplicity and harmonious grouping of ensemble pictures are not merely pleasing to the eye, but lend dignity and artistic background to the great human and religious tragedy that is enacted. Naturally, the famous Dance of the Seven Veils, which cost John the Baptist his head, swings to a crescendo of dramatic tensity this vivid story of an age of uncontrolled passions. So it is that even while the spectator admires the grace and daring of the dancer, his blood fairly runs cold at the realization of the deadly game she is playing. "Salome," as impersonated by Theda Bara, is probably the most sinister Tyet fascinating figure from the blood- . stained pages of Biblical history that haa ever been thrown on the screen. PATRIOTIC FEATURE FOR PREBLE FAIR v EATON, O.. Sept. 21. Patriotic fea- " tures will figure prominently In the J.' program for the 68th annual Preble S county fair, which opens here Monday. The features will include addresses, exercises, music and dedication of a service flag for Preble county soldiers I. who have gone to the front. Patriotic Z song service will be held dally. The I patriotic addresses will be made to give Impetus to the Liberty Loan ;? campaign and the war savings stamp I drive. Speakers will be provided by .'i the district Liberty Loan speakers' S bureau, upon request of John H.

Davis, chairman t of the county civilian war relief acthe county service flag. A special ; program of addresses, music, etc., will J be presented. Another patriotic feaE, ture will be a display of pictures of each and every Preble county soldier E boy that it is possible to secure. The Z display will also include army pic3 tures of every description. Secretary Harry D. Silver states that in his many years service as secretary of the fair managers he has not seen the outlook any brighter for a splendid and successful fair than this year. Barring unfavorable weath- - er. President Jesse L. Haston ,of " West Alexandria, believes this year's meeting will mark the banner one for S the association. Every thing points in that direction, he says. J. E. Flora, superintendent of the speed department, announces one of t the largest list of speed entries of re- " cent years. Entries in all other de1 partments are qually large, r Eleven races constitute the week's i racing program, the first race to take I place Tuesday afternoon. The purse Sin each race is $300, excepting two 1 events confined to the county. The I purse in these is f 100 each. Tuesday's icard Is made up of the gentlemen's "trotting road race, confined to the ' county, and the 2:13 pace. Three graces are schedlued for Wednesday, "the gentlemen's pacing road race, con- " fined to the county; 2:30 trot, and 2:25 -pace. Thursday 2: 11 pace, 2:18 trot. r2:16 pace.

They in-' ;clude a comedy circus of trained anlfinals and a clown feature. Probabilities are daily airplane flights will be j added to the free attraction features. - The fair management announces fthat all soldiers in uniform will be admitted to the fair free at any and all times.

After being absent from home for some time, ; Chauncey Stewart has advised bis .uncle and guardian. Jacob Stewart, of .Gratis township, that he enlisted in Uhe marines and is in the service in 'Xanadan waters. Stewart is only 15 ."years of age and probably is the youngest person in the service from Preble county.

MURRETTE Sunday and Monday at the Murrette Theatre there Is playing oiie of the strongest photoplays of recent date. This is the A. II. Woods production of "The Guilty Man." directed by Irvln V. Willat under the supervision of Thomas H. Ince. The cast Includes beautiful Gloria Hope, Vivian Reed. William Garwood, J. P. Lockney, Hal Cooley, Charles French, John Steppling and Hayward Mack.

While making scenes In the tew William Fox photoplay, , "Lawless Love," at the Murrette Theatre Wednesday, the star, Jewel Carmen, had an exciting experience. . An old-fashioned stage coach was used in several of the scenes taken near Santa Monica, California. In one the swaying stage coach had acquired considerable speed when the left front wheel hit a depression in the road. Over went the stage coach, with Miss Carmen and driver holding on for dear life. The . horses, startled, gathered more speed, and righted the vehicle before either Miss Carmen or the driver had time to fall off. No red-blooded American in these days will be able to resist the appeal of "The Claws of the Hun," the new Paramount picture from the Ince studios starring Charles Ray. It is a picture with the speed and action of a war play but the scene is located entirely in this- country. And while It has to do with Hun plotters it is different from the usual variety of such stories. Mr. Ray has a part that suits him admirably and the b-jpporting company is excellent. It is the attraction Saturday at the Murrette theatre. MURRAY The strange fascination that hangs about a beautiful woman engulfed in the swirl of world events is illustrated to a remarkable degree In "The Caillaux Case," which has its final showings nt the Murray theater, Sunday and Monday. Although Joseph Caillaux, former French Premier, is called the "evil genius of France," it is revealed in this picture that the ruthless ambition of his wife really blazes the Caillaux trial of murder, treason and ruined reputations. A pair of healthy twins, John Henry and Mary Anne, are on (or two) of the unique and original attractions of of "A Pair of Cupids,", starring Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne, which will be the feature at the Murray theater, on the 24 for one day engagement. Clyde Benson and Emery Johnston have two important roles In "Green Eyes," which is the next Paramount attraction at the Murray Theatre starring lovely Dorothy Dalton. The story of the picture is concerned with ! jealousy, but it has also numerous appealing features, not the least of which is its soutnern atmosphere. Company K to Meet . on Sunday Morning Members of Company K. of the state militia, are asked to-meet at the armory at 10 o'clock Sunday morning, in order to attend the Hero Day services at the First Presbyterian church. Drill practices will be held Sunday afternoon by the company, and all members are to meet at the armory in time to leave there by 2 o'clock. September 25, 26, 27 ! Built for Power

MRS. ROACH NAMED VICE-PRESIDENT OF WAR MOTHERS

Mrs. A. W. Roach was made Indiana vice-president of the War Mothers of America at their state convention, which was held in Evansville, Sept. 18, 19, and 20. In view of the greater organization which the War Mothers of America have perfected, Mrs. Roach resigned her office a State president of the American War mothers in the smaller rival organization, and by shifting - the Wayne county organization from their former affiliation . to the larger one, Mrs. Roach together with other officials, is endeavoring to dissolve the American Var Mothers' organization. The convention was most interesting and enthusiastic in every .way, stated Mrs. Roach. Greetings were received from President Wilson and from Governor and - Mrs. Goodrich, and among the speakers were Representative Denton, who some time ago introduced the bill in the house to give the right of organization and national recognition to the War Mothers of America, and also Hon. James E. Watson. MRS. WILSON SERVES SOLDIERS. WASHINGTON, Sept. ' 21.

Woman's Section Defense Council

Miss Elsie Marshall, county chairman of the Food clubs, stated today that the organization of Food clubs in Wayne county is now completed and that work is well under way. The ward chairmen of the War Mothers are the ward chairmen of the Food clubs. - The U. S. Food clubs have a distinct service to render In correcting false reports. Occasionally a rumor will start that certain food regulations have been discontinued or that certain foods are injurious to health. Such a rumor soon comes to the ears of a Food club member. Immediately the question is referred . to the Food administration for an official statement and the lie is killed. The recent change in the wheat regulations furnishes a good example of this. No sooner had the word gone out that the fifty-fifty rule bad been recalled than questions came to the administration offices from all parts of the state. Is it true that flour can now be purchased without substitutes? Is it true that rye flour is now a substitute on they same basis as other substitutes? Is 'it true that we may buy all the flour we want? These are typical of the questions that were asked. The neighborhood Food club affords a medium through which reliable information can be secured. In order that there may be no misunderstanding of
