drink without inquiring into the na-; ture of the donation. So it happens 1 that in the most innocent way both children become "happy." Miss Pickford's portrayal of the surprised Judy, who punishes her enemies, gives jam to all the children and defies the ogre of a matron is wonderfully done. MURRAY. There is something new in pictures a court scent with which judges, lawyers and officials can pick no technical flaws. It occurs in the picturiration of "The Law of Men," the latest Thomas H. Ince picture starring Enid Bennett, which comes to the Murray theatre for three days, commencing Monday next, and in which Niles Welch, a favorite Paramount player, Is the leading man. The court scene was staged in the Los Angeles county court room and the official clerk, bailiff and court employes were used lor the trial scene which is an important feature of the story. Every movement, therefore.

was in accordance with legal juris

prudence.

If there be any varience from the rules of practice in the state where the photoplay is shown, it is because the rules are different in the state of

California. With a scene taken in

an actual court room with official employes, Thomas H. Ince' believes that

for once he has the technical critics with their backs to the wall.

MURRETTE From the records of past picture productions It is evident that the well told detective story Is exceedingly popular with the great majority of the reading public. The same obtains of the mystery play or picture. The Famous players-Lasky Corporation has offered a number of stories on the screen which dealt with the detection of crime or some mysterious occurence which formed the cause ctlebre of the drama. And always they have achieved popularity. "The House of Silence," with Wallace Reid,' was one; "The Mysterious Miss Terry" was another. "The Devil Stone" was a third. Now conies Ethel Clayton in a new Paramount picture,

"Vicky Van." from a novel by Carolyn

Wells, the well known writer of detec

tive fiction, which will be shown at the Murrette theatre next Wednesday and Thursday.. This was recently Issued in book form and was widely read. It is one of the Fleming Stone series,, wherein the astute sleuth copes with a serious and perplexing problem. Miss Clayton plays two roles and is the pivot on which the big mystery runs. "The Master Man" which will show at the Murray theatre Friday and Saturday la a tale of crooked politics and crooked politicians, chief among whom is the Attorney General of the State, Emanuel Blake (Frank Keenan), whose strong, . magnetic personality dominates the entire political "machine," thus earning him the designation of "The Master Man."

The deathbed' confession of one of the . "machine's" satellites is in the possession of Governor Wheeler, the only anti-machine man holding high office in the state. This confession constitutes a menace to Blake and his associates, and, late one stormy night, the attorney general Instructs McCullough Davenport, a catspaw for the "men higher up," to break into the governor's private office and rifle his desk in order to secure the confession. Seeing that Davenport carries an automatic, Blake cautions him against using the gun, telling him that there will be no need for it. Entering the governor's office through a window, Davenport discovers Governor Wheeler in earnest conversation with Mitchell Murray, tbjfc Labor Party's sen

ator from a fretful mill district. The governor, noticing a movement of the

curtains behind which Davenport is concealed, goes toward the window to investigate the catspaw loses his head and fires two shots and the governor staggers back mortally wounded, Davenport making his way back to Blake's office, amid flashes of lightning, peals of thunder and drenching rain. The attorney general, cool, calm and collected, hastens to the executive chamber and there finds Murray frantically telephoning. Appearances are dead against the labor man, as he and the governor had been violently disagreeing in regard to a bill which Murray wanted to put through, and Blake had just previously interrupted the discussion.

In the role of the little child of the great North Woods, she is said to be excellent and gives a true-to-life portrayal. The story itself abounds in thrills, fights and gripping situations and depicts the adventures of the little daughter of a rought fur smuggler known as Wolf Ainsworth. She goes with him to the city across the border where he disposes of his furs, and there she falls in love with a rich young man. Their fateful 'separation, his search

their meeting; how her father and his gang who suspect her lover is a "revenoor" are just on the point of killing him when the revenue officers berak in upon them; the ensuing terrific fight and the death of the Wolf and the capture of his gang; all this and

more, is vividly enacted by the star and her splendid supporting cast, which includes such favorites as Elliott Dexter, Clarence Geldart, Raymond Hatton, Dick Wayne, Minnie Provost, James Mason, Jack Herbert, Marcia Manon, James Neill, Clyde Benson and Roy Diem. MURRETTE One of the best comedy dramas in which Charles Ray has appeared for some time, is '"Greased Lightning," his latest Thomas H. Ince-Paramount picture which will be shown at the Paurrette theatre today for last times. The photoplay affords Mr. Ray abundant opportunities for the display of his exceptional talents and that it will please the patrons of the Murrette

Theatre is a foregone conclusion. The story deals with the trials and tribulations of a small town inventor struggling for fame and the heart of the skinflint banker's charming young daughter. Andy Fletcher, the character assumed by Mr. Ray, has capped a series of inventions with a ponderous "Little Giant Potato Peeler." He wants to raise capital to promote it and arranges a big demonstration at which he proudly notes is the banker. The exhibition starts well but the blamed machine explodes and bombards the entire company with potatoes. Andy trades his potato peeler for the remnants of a smashed automobile and proceeds to manufacture a joy wagon and enters it in a big automobile race. "Greased Lightning" the name he has given his speedster, balks at the scratch and Just as he gets it in working order, word comes that the banker has been assaulted and robbed and the villans are disappearing ove the hill in a powerful car. Andy jumps in "Greased Lightning." passes all the racers on the track and dashes over the field to the open road and hits a .pace that wins. MURRAY Peggy Hyland made a big hit yes- . terday at the Murray theatre, where r hr picture, "Miss Adventure," was thown for the first time. The picture attractive one throughout.
