MANIAC IN ILLINOIS

SAYS STATE OFFICIAL
(By Associated Press.) SPRINGFIELD, Idd.. Dec. 20. There are no more "Maniacs" In Illinois 'while the violent insane wards of the Btate hare almost disappeared, according to A. L. Bowen, state superintendent of charities. He announces
that in one state hospital of 3,800 patients, the "maniac" class has been reduced from 500 to one and that even that one is no maniac. "Where are the maniacs?" quired Mr. Bowen. "That is the question asked today in every state hospital for nervous and mental diseases in Illinois. Among the twenty thousand patients in the state's ten institutions, the old type known as the maniac, is f-eldora found today. "We have men and women who are disturbed and agitated. Some do Impulsive things that have serious consequences. They require special attention and care, but this care is that of trained nurse or attendant and not the repression and restraint of cells,
straps, strong suits and leather collars. "These were the patients who gave to all the mentally sick the dreaded name of maniac. Every patient was regarded as dangerous and violent. Hundreds of visitors came to see this class and it alone. Remove All Restraint. "Today In one hospital of 3,300 we have just one who may be feared, where not long ago there were five hundred that type. I can go over this Institution in my mind's eye and pick out scores of men and women who for years lived in the most abject state of restraint. We had nearly 700 screen
rooms here ten years ago in which
, raiicms were securely locnea zi nours 3 day and 365 days in the year.
"These were emptied long ago, the doors removed, their walls plastered, beds placed in them and their patients transferred to dormitories where they have since lived in comparative peace and comfort. Most of them are not recognizable, so great has been the change in their personal appearance. One of our most trusted men who has every liberty within the grounds was once our maddest, foulest, and most feared patient." - Bara are Removed. The Illinois State Hospitals today have no screen doors or padded cells, nor has anything been devised that enswers the same purpose in another form. No patient is restrained by mprhnniral mpnns 'n nntipnt is pvip
locked in a room or apartment . In I the last eight years no new building
has been erected with screens or bars upon its doors and windows and hundreds of old windows have been relieved of their bars.

- The Theatres
in the whirl with rough home-spun and corduroy these are a few of the contrasts shown in this drama of thrillc and love and pathos. And in this atmosphere of contrasts "Beauty Stanton" herself presents the greatest contrast of nil. A woman of evident refinement and good ancestry, she came to the town of Benton, "a roaring hell of hist and greed and gold and death," on the U. P. Railroad, and established herself as ownes and proprietress of the greatest
dance hall and gambling saloon in the country. Here, too, is seen the end, as well as the beginning of "Beauty Stanton's" colorful adventure, when she gives her heart and soul and then her life, for the love of a man who loves another girl.
MURRAY For all who love Western stories end who do not? The Murray theater offers Buck Jones, the daring Fox star, in a picture called "Sunsle Spragv.e" beginning Monday. Jones' pictures are always impressive and unusual. There Is no finer rider on the screen, or off, and he
makes one feel that the real joy of living is not to be found In the big cities, but on horseback in the not densely populated West. "Sunset Sprague" is a lively story of a cowboy who unexpectedly encounters the biggest job of his life. Sunset (Buck Jones) does this job in fine style, and after he scatters a band of range-crooks he returns a valuable mine to a plucky girl from whom it had been stolen. MURRETTE Among the actor daredevils constantly associated with Tom Mix, the Fox star, both in and out of pictures is Sid Jordan, an honest-to-goodness cowbody, whose face nature kindly designed so that he could be an ideal motion picture villian of the western type. Jordan is cast as Jack Purdy. the had man In "The Texan," the latest Mix starring photodrama. which is now; showing at the Murrette theatre. He says he has no quarrel with his face, but is perfectly content to proceed along the even tenor of screen villainy. He shoots Mix up a-plenty in some pictures. Then he calmly sticks his smoking pistol into his hol
ster, while the camera is turned off. Mix recovers from his wound, and the two hunt up the rest of the gang and are off for some "eats" or for a ride around the neighborhood. ' Jordan is a dyed-in-the-wool cowpuncher, was born in Muskogee, Okla., and educated at the Cherokee Indian school at Vanita, Okla. Then he joined the "101 Ranch,' 'that famous old outfit which proved to be an employment bureau for cowboy actors. Jordan has had rather an extended screen career and has appeared in several recent Mix pictures. WASHINGTON George Melford, the veteran producer, has scored another ten-strike in his production of "Behold My Wife!" from Sir Gilbert Parker's famous novel. The picture, which was shown at the Washington theatre yesterday, is tho story of the transformation of an Indian maiden of the Canadian Northwest, married in a fit of drunken rage by an aristocratic young Englishman to spite his family, into a beautiful and cultured young woman. Milton Sills, Eliott Dexter, and Ann Forrest are also in the cast. Mr. Melford is responsible for some of the most notable photoplays of recent years. Conspicuous among them are "Told In the Hills," with Robert Warwick; the famous morality play, "Everywoman;" Jack London's "The Sea Wolf;' 'and "The Round Up," starring Roscoe Arbuckle. RICHMOND The Benjamin B. Hampton snperrroduction, "The U. P. Trail," a Hodkinson release, opened at the Richmond Theatre Sunday for a three day engagement. Adapted from the wellknown book of the same name by Zane Grey, this splendid, virile story of pioneer days of adventure along the Union Pacific railroad, where men from all over the world came to try their luck at gold-getting and goldmaking, has lent itself remarkably well to the screen. In a great dance run by "Beauty Stanton" is found the very epitome of life in the West as it was lived in those days. Rough boots treading measures on a board floor beside dainty satin slippers, perfumes mingled with the pungent odors of burnt gunpowder, gowns of Parisian design
