MURRAY. Peggy Hyland, the motion picture star, always has maintained that little pigs are her favorite- pets. But Charles Mortimer Peck, the scenario writer, always has been inclined to doubt her word. Whenever Miss Hyland said she loved to cuddle little pink pigs Just as much as sho liked to cuddle puppies, Mr. Peck whispered: "No one has ever seen you do itso how can we believe you? Mr. Peck was not contented until he gave the pretty star an opportunity to prove her assertion. He wrote a

scenario in which he purposely ar-j

ranged some stunts with little pigs. His scenario called for Miss Hyland to pick up two baby pigs out ot their sty and carry them, one under each arm, into the house. She was to tuck the piga into bed, and later send them flying down the laundry chute. Mr. Peck believed the mischievous star would balk at this performance. He was agreeably disappointed when Peggy Hyland, without a murmur, went through the action that was required of her, and added a few points of her own. She succeeded in convincing Mr. Peck that she is really fond of baby pigs. Her only protest came when she had to drop the pink things down the laundry chute. "It's a bit too cruel," sho urged. The moment the pigs arrived at the bottom of the chute Miss Hyland hurried to see whether they needed first id after their fall. Although they

had received no injuries, she pewea,see Vi and Lent in a fond embrace

respond. All else pales into insignificance, for where love is, happiness is found. It is the world-old quest of mankind, a thirst, which Is never sated, the "desire of the moth for the star, of the night for the morrow." When mate first called to mate, creation began, and so the search for affinity is the one dominating factor in life. In "The Love Call," a photo-drama starring Billie Rhodes, at he Murray Thursday, Friday and Saturday, is told the story of a whole-souled but illiterate girl of the western country, who sacrificed her opportunity to become an educated "lady" to make happy the man who loved her. A story of tragedy, pathos and humor, daring in conception and original in its unfolding, with striking scenes of the primitive life of the cattle countryKid Allen, the heroine of the play, answered "The Love Call," for her heart was true and her mate wanted her. The production was made by William Louis Chaudet. The cast Includes William Dyer. Art HOxen, T. Lloyd Whltlock. and Harry T. De vere. WASHINGTON. What would you do if your twin sister ran away with your husband on your bridal night? Well, thafa Just what happened to Vi Playfalr, but It was mostly her own fault. The night before Vi'a wedding to Joe Damorel, sho tells her twin sister, Tiny, that she is going out for one more little lark with Lent Trevett. But be.'ore Vi has an opportunity to meet Lent, Tiny goes to htm and Lent believes that he Is kissing his own VI. The next day, immediately after the wedding ceremony, Lent tells Vi that she belongs to him, as he is the only one who really loves her. and that Joe is bullying her and has stolen her from him. When Joe comes into his wife's room a few minutes later, she is nothing like a sweet little bride ought to be. She tells him that he must tell her where they are going on their honeymoon, which he has kept as a surprise for her, or she will not go with him. He leaves the room, hurt and disgusted. Lent comes out of a closet, in which he has been hiding, and persuades Vi to go away with him.

Tiny enters the room Just in time to

Peggy Hyland and her little pigs may be seen in "Cheating Herself." a William Fox production, at the Murray theatre, beginning on Monday next. Shirley Mason, the diminuative Paramount star, is at the Murray today and Sunday in "The Rescuing Angel." "The Rescuing Angel" is a screen version ot Clare Kummer's lay, In which Billie Burke starred. The play has been scenarioized by Edith Kennedy, who kept Miss Mason in mind as the heroine. Shirley, you see, is made love to by two Buitors, both of whom have money, and an Old boyhood lover who has no money and very little brains, besides. When she turns the youthful idol down for one of the men with money, he sees one reason: that she is marrying the man for his wealth. It's a good theory, and a little flattering to the boy, but it's all wrong, William, it's all wrong. But. after the ceremony, the youngster tells the millionaire that his millions have become between Shirley and her True Love. And that self-made man, who never fell for any trick of an opponent, swallowed It without a single grain of salt!

'The Love Call" is the most universal thing in the world, and the most insistent. "'Tls love that makes the world go "round," and to the golden voiced summons of love, rich and poor, man and woman, old and young,

and thinks that as long as VI has stolen Lent, the man she loves, why should she not run away with Joe! So she gets into a dulicate of her sister's going-away suit and goes down to meet Joe, who is pleased to see that his little bride has come back to her senses. Just as VI is about to leave the house she hears shouts of "Good luck to the bride" and sees Tiny going off with her Joe. She gets into her racer and follows them, and Lent in his car follows her. Full of "pep," laughs and thrills, "His Bridal Night," in which Select Pictures resents Alice Brady, can be seen on Friday and Saturday at the Washington Theatre. MURRETTE. J. Hatfield Blake, millionaire promoter of big real estate deals, had risen from the ranks of the county fair-ground "shell-game" operators. Throughout his entire career there

Mra. Grace Wilbur Trout. Among the noted persons who will speak at the Richmond Chautauqua this

year is Grace Wilbur Trout, ot .Chicago, president of the Illinois Equal Suffrage association, who is known nationally for her work tor enfranchisement ot women. Mrs. Trout spent several weeks last winter in Washington working in congress tor the passage of the federal suffrage amendment. She headed the group of lobbyists who were successful In passing the resolution calling for a constitutional convention in the Illinois legislature in 1917, and managed the state-wide educational campaign that resulted in victory at the polls when the resolution was submitted to the voters for ratification. She will lecture here on Thursday afternoon, August 21.

and Tuesday in her latest photoplay, T and money away from him, sands

Three Men and a Girl," a picturiza-

tlon of Edward Childs Carpenter's play of "The Three Bears," which scored a decisive bit la New York In October, 1917. In this charming picture. Miss Clark appears as Sylvia Weston, a young woman who rebels against her proposed wedding with a rich old man whom she hated, and who later comes In contact with three bearlike men who hate womankind. She subsequently brings them to her feet by the magic of her personality and charm. The photoplay la one of exceptional interest and it affords Miss Clark another delightful role. She has few if any superiors in her presentation ot delightful girl characterizations, and her ' admirers have another pleasing hour in prospect, which her characterization in "Three Men and a Girl" incurea them. If you are a girl, you have possibly had the pleasure of going through an old trunk, full of gowns of days gone by, that has been standing for years in the attic. If so, you will appreciate the episode in Vivian Martin's new Paramount picture, "You Never Saw Such a Girl," which will be shown at the Murrette theatre next Wednesday and Thursday. It la through the old trunk that the heroine of the story finds a clew to her relatives and goes forth in search of them. How she finds, instead, romance, love, fortune and adventure, makes up one of the most charming stories imaginable. The picture should prove a most welcome attraction. There is much comedy and a wholesome charm that is undeniable about this photoplay which was written by Marion Fairfax from a novel by George Weston. Harrison Ford is leading man and Robert G. Vignola director. MURRETTE Wallace Reid, one of the most ideal of all screen heroes, portrays one o' his most effective hero roles in his

new Paramount picture, "The Love Burglar," a pieturization of the successful play "One of Us," by Jack Lait. Mr. Reid's part is that of a young clubman who goes to a disreputable slum saloon to find his erring brother

and after taking all of his valuables

him borne. He finds it & delightful novelty when the proprietor and the

gang leaders welcome him as the Colt Kid, a western b adman who has Just been released from Joliet and whom they have been expecting for some time. A beautiful girl, Joan Gray, who la apparently one of the sirens of the establishment, sees Is him a champion to protect her from the advances of Coast-to-Coaat Taylor, a criminal and gang leader, embraces bim and announces that he is her man. David diplomatically avoida becoming entangled in any ot the crooks' hold-ups and crimes, but finds it hard to keep his reputation as a bad man. His opportunity comes when Coast announces that a wedding is to be held in a swell society home, which, It transpires, is the home of David himself, and his sister is the one to be married. He tells Coast he will do this Job. Herewith starts a complication that terminates In one of the moat masterful situations ever screened. James Croze directed and an excellent cast supports the star. "The Peace of Roaring River," Pauline Frederick's newest Goldwyn Picture which will be seen at the Washington Theatre beginning Wednesday promises to surprise admirers of the star. Written by George E. Van Schalk, and directed by Victor L. Schertzinger, the drama tells the story of Madge Nelson (Miss Frederick) and the curious circumstances which take her into the life of Hugo Ennis (Thomas Holding). The latter has a (Continued on Page Three)

Civic Bodies to Help Name Food Director Civic organizations and the Commercial club will be asked to suggest someone to fill the position as head of the Wayne county food organisation, left vacant by the resignation of Harry N. Gilbert, and It Is probable that the new head of the organisation will be appointed Monday or Tuesday of next week. Several names have been proposed to H. K. Barnard, head of the state organization, and from these the appointment will be mao. A letter accepting his resignation, was received by Gilbert Friday, and he was asekd at that time to make an cZort to obtain a man to take his place. According to the letter received by Gilbert, the greater part of the work In adjusting food prices will fall on the shoulders of the Fair Price committee, of business men. merchants and representatives ot labor organizations. DIPHTHERIA, INFLUENZA, ALL GONE. REPORTS DR. KINSEY The recent scare ot diphtheria has practically passed away, according to Dr. J. H. Kinsey, who said Saturday morning, that no now cases had been reported to the city health board in the last few days. Influenza and typhoid are also on the wane, as little or no cases ot the diseases have been reported this week.

had been but one thought uppermost in this man's mind, the welfare of his little motherless girl. Misguided though his methods may have been, devious the ways in which he amassed a fortune yet there was at least one pure thought and motive behind those methods. In his early days he had known poverty and destitution, attendant upon the haphazard life of the fair-ground, and he determined that his daughter should never know hunger nor want. But in all of his schemings and plottings and plannings, the ex-"shell-game" expert had failed to make due allowance for the natural workings of the law of compensation, and so the inevitable happened: the gambler reaped as he had sown, having for years "sat in darkness, with his heart bound in iron and his soul imprisoned behind gates of brass!" It is an enthrallingly interesting

story which is contained in "Gates of Brass," the new Frank Keenan production in five parts which Manager Geer will present at the Murrette Theatre Friday and Saturday and of which the foregoing is a very brief outline.

Ninety days before Marguerite Clark, the dainty Paramount star, widely known as the "sweetest girl In motion pictures," became the bride of Lieutenant H. Paimerson Williams, she declared in an interview that she "never was in love in her life and that she believed love such an enormous waste of time." Since her marriage, her admirers refused to accept her as a "Mrs." and she is still and ever shall be, Marguerite Clark, best beloved of all screen stars. Miss Clark will be seen at the Murrette theatre next Sunday, Monday
