THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1921.

NEXT WEEK AT THE

EATRE

MURRETTE. Like a breath of exhilirating country "ozone, "Fickle Women," the new comedy drama ia at the Murray theatre Saturday. The photoplay which is an adaptation of the Saturday Evening Post story. "Sitting on the World," by So

phie Kerr, la very similar in its rumor and human touches to "David Harum" and "The Old Homestead." It is an up to the minute tale of a young fellow who thinks he has lost nil he possesses in the world when his girl makes up with another fellow while he is away to the war. But it is the "face with the smile that wins!" This picture shows that it is just as hard to keep a good man down as it is to get a telephone num'her now a days. We have heard bo much about grim determination, that it may sound strange to hear of smil- ' ing determination, but that is the moral of this picture. MURRAY. Poultry fanciers in every sense of the phrase will be interested in "The (Smart Sex," the Universal comedyi drama which is to be shown at the (Murray Theatre on Monday with Miss ;Eva Novak in the starring role and a barnyard goose waddling in support. The producers realized there would be many humorous possibilities in featuring a live goose, but it is reported that their hopes were minimum compared to the excellent results obtained. If you can imagine a goose eating from a plate and drinking from a glass tumbler alongside a goodlooking young woman, at a quick lunch counter, you may comprehend what

rare humor is in store. Mrs. Margaret Mann, the admirable actress who specializes on "mother roles", has such a characterization in the picture while the other important roles are played by Geoffrey Webb, Norman Hammond, Frank Braidwood, Dorothy Hagan, Calvert Carter, and Jim O'Neill. "The Smart Sex" is one of the fiftytwo pictures which Universal has scheduled for the year and is Bald to be a sparkling eem of humor. WASHINGTON. A Cast of remarkable strength has been assembled by Cecil B. De Mille to portray the exacting roles of "Forbidden Fruit," his latest Paramount picture which will be shown at the

Washington theatre Sunday. The cast is headed by a trio of players who appear for the first time under the De Mille banner. They are Agnes Ayres, Forrest Stanley and Clarence Burton. Miss Ayres, known as one of the most lovely women on the screen is credited with acting of high merit in this production. Forrest Stanley i3 one of the most versatile of leading men. Clarence Burton is a veteran of numerous Paramount productions and is recognized as a character man of rare ability. In the supporting company are such players as Kathlyn Williams, Theodore Kosloff, Theodore Roberts, Shannon Day, Bertram Johns and Julia Fa ye. MURRAY VAUDEVILLE. Max Bloom, the famous musical comedy, assisted by Miss Alice Scher,

vnprano, will top the new bill at The Murray, opening Monday matinee. Mr.

Bloom will be recalled for his famous comedy creation "Becky" the wooden horse, and his expression "Dot's My Horse." Max Bloom's offer of one thousand dollars weekly for pictures has been accepted by the popular comedian and he leaves for the coast immediately following his present vaudeville engagements. Bloom's offer for pictures came about through Charles Murray, direc

tor for Mack Sennet Comedies.

happens that Max Eloom made his first distinct hit while playing with Murray and Mack some years ago, and since then Mr. Bloom and Mr. Murray have been intimate friends. Owing to the cost of this act two other acts will be played in support instead of the usual four. These acts are Edwards in "A Unique Comedy Acrobatic Offering," and Joe Melvin, "Novel Hoop Manipulator," with Eva Novak on the screen in "The Smart Sex." Headlining the bill opening Thursday comes Keno, Fables, Wagner and Company in an act of exceptional originality. "Toy Fantasies" is the title of what can be assuredly called the most unique, novel, original and the only act of it3 kind in the world. A broad statement you will agree but nevertheless a true one, backed as it is with wonderfully pretty scenic settings. Another feature is the comedy skit of Beatty and Evelyn entitled "Chrysanthemums." The drop Is painted to resemble a cute, cozy little bungalow and is a novelty in scenic environment. A new

idea in the way of a door is incorpor-

atea and there is a transparent window behind which several comedy bits are built up. The time is evening

ana as tne curtain ascends shows a' party in progress in the bungalow and

irom uus parry miss fcivelyn is being strenuously ejected for her unlady like behavior and speech. Completing the bill is The Riverside Trio, three young men who "Sing Songs You Like to Hear" and Melroy and McNeese in "A Roller-Skating Novelty." .

PART SIX Lestrade and I sat silent for a moment, and then, with a spontaneous impulse, we both broke out clapping,

as at the well-wrought crisis of a play.

A flush of color sprang to Holmes' pale cheeks, and he bowed to us like the master dramatist who receives the homage of his audience. It was at such moments that for an instant he ceased to be a reasoning machine, and betrayed his human love for admiration and applause. The same singular-

when these busts were being made. Now you clearly see the sequence of events, though you see them, of course, in the inverse order to the way in which they presented themselves to me. Beppo had the pearl in his possession. He may have stolen it from Pietro, he may have been Pietro's confederate, he may have been the gobetween of Pietro and his sister. It is of no consequence to us which is the correct solution.

that the pearl would adhere to it as,, in fact, it has done. Beppo did not despair, and he conducted his search

with considerable ingenuity and perseverance. Through a cousin who works with Gelder, he found out the retail arms who had bought the busts.

He managed to find employment with Morse Hudson, and in that way

tracked down three of them. The pearl was not there. Then, with the help of some Italian employe, he suc

ceeded in finding out where the other

three busts had gone. The first was at Harker's. There he was dogged by his confederate, who held Beppo responsible for the loss of the pearl, and he stabbed him in the scuffle which followed." "As a means of tracing him, if he

wished to inquire1 about him from any third person. That was the obvious reason. Well, after the murder I calculated that Beppo would probably hurry rather than delay his movements. He would fear that the police would read his secret, and so he hastened on before they should get ahead of him. Of course. I could not sav"

jthat he had not found the pearl in Harker's bust. I had not even con

cluded for certain that it was the pearl, but it was evident to me that

he was looking for something, since

he carried the bust past the other

houses in order to break it in the

it. bmce Harker s bust was one in three, the chances were exactly as I lold you two to one against the pearl being inside it. There remained two busts, and it was obvious that he would go for the London one first. I warned the inmates of the house, so as to avoid a second tragedy, and we went down with the happiest results. By that time, of course, I knew for certain that it was the Borgia pearl that we were after. The name of the murdered man linked the one event with the other. There only remained a single bust the Reading one and the pearl must be there. I bought it

We sat in silence for a moment.

Well, said Lestrade, "I've

Holmes, but I don't know that I ever

knew a more workmanlike one than that. We're not jealous of vou at

Scotland Yard. No, sir, we are very proud of you, and if you come down tomorrow, there's not a man from the oldest inspector to the youngest constable, who wouldn't be glad to shake you by the hand."' "Thank you!" said Holmes. "Thank

PENNSY WOULD HELP REMOVE DANGEROUS RAILWAY CROSSINGS The board of directors of the Penn

sylvania railroad heartily favor cooperation with the Indiana highway commission to eliminate dangerous grade crossings where state highways cross their lines. The National road crosses the Pennsylvania railroad eight times in Indiana and following its policy to eliminate dangerous grade crossings in order to insure the maximum of safety in highway travel, the commission has succeeded through the splendid co-operation of this directorate of eliminating the majority of them.

Between Indianapolis and Richmond two crossings have been eliminated and a watchman installed at a third. From Indianapolis west to Terre Haute, one crossing has been eliminated by viaduct, another is to be so eliminated, one will remain as it is, and two were removed through relocation of the highway, William J. Titus, chief engineer of bridges, says. In view of the fact that many railroads are , somewhat embarrassed financially at this time, the action of the Pennsylvania board is rather remarkable and certainly indicative it recognizes the value of Rood state

highways designed to protect overland

traffic, in the opinion of Mr. Titus.

The main fact is that he had the

ly proud and reserved nature which. reari an(j at that moment, when it

turned away witn disdain rrom popular was 0

notoriety was capable of being moved

to its depths by spontaneous wonder and praise from a friend. "Yes, gentlemen," said he, "it is the most famous pearl now existing in the world, and it has been my good fortune by a connected chain of inductive reasoning, to trace it from the Prince of Colonna's bod-room at the Da ere Hotel, where it was lost, to the interior of this, the last of the six busts of Napoleon which were manufactured by Gelder and Co., of Stepney. You will remember, Lestrade, the sensation

as on his person he was pursued by

the police. He made for the factory in which he worked, and he knew that he had only a few minutes in which to conceal this enormously valuable prize, which would otherwise be found

on him when he was searched. Six plaster casts of Napoleon were dryinp

in the passage. One of them was sli". soft. In an instant Beppo, a skillfu' workman, made a small hole in thr wet plaster, dropped in the pearl, anc1 with a few touches covered over thr aperture once more. It was an admii

you!" and as he turned away, it seemed to me that he was more nearly moved by the softer human emotions than I had ever seen him. A moment

seen jater he was the cold and practical

thinker once more. "Put the pearl in the safe, Watson," said he, "and get cut the papers of the Conk-Singleton forgery case. Goodbye, Lestrade. If any little problem comes your way, I shall be happy, if I can, to give you a hint or two as to its solution." Monday The Man With the Twisted Lip.
