NEXT WEEK AT THE
HEATRE
MURRAY VAUDEVILLE The Four Volunteers, a male comedy quartet -which has found favor on the Keith circuit for. years will be the headline feature of the new hill opening at the Murray tomorrow, matinee for the first half. The old saving of "It never rains but it pours" is also applicable to the present day desire of vaudeville artists to get into the 1 "Surprise act" band wagon which by the way grows in volume at the insistant demand of the theatre-going public.
The latest acquisition to this de
cisive popular victory won by the vaudeville fans in a recent boni-fide contest is "The Volunteers," a musical novelty offering from the pens of George Botsford and Jean Harvez, two
exceptionally well known and remark
ably clever writers of fiction and authors of many successful vaudeville playlets. Heretofore the offerings created by this duo of playwrights have always favored the so-called weaker sex inasmuch as the dominant character was a female. In "The Volunteers," they have completely ignored the wom'an part and builded an act in which all of the four parts are assayed by i males. Another Interesting feature booked lis the act of Bell and Carron, dance exponents who have been featured for I the past two seasons in all the promlinent Revues in New York city. Cap-
; man and Capman are also on this bill'
I with their laughing absurdity entitled '"On A Sea of Fun," also Herron and 'Ornsman in a blackface skit called '"On And Off." Maxmillion and Martini billed as ""The World's Worst Magicians" will ibe one of the features opening Thursday. They have a burlesque magic act i which fairly teems with laughs. Faber and Bernet have a skit termed "On . lAnd Off The Stage" which gives the audience an insight of what happens
" Back Stage." Joe Regan comes with a singing sketch entitled "Irish Moments," in which he sings the songs of "auld Erin." The dancing portion will be taken care of by Bernice Kimball and Ray Goman, in their act "The : Dance Xentrique," with a few saxophone moans interpolated. Quite naturally an audience Invariably looks forward to seeing pretty costumes in an act of this character, they most certainly will not be disappointed in this necessary essential for Miss Kimball might be termed particularly fussy as regards this detail. Their winning personalities, smart, snappy dances and perfect presentation of "The Act Ventrique" makes the offering one of the real bright spots on any bill besides furnishing complete enjoyment and delightful entertainment to their audience.
cates the upholding of law and order,
every man and woman and child should give praise to the producers of "In the Name of the Law" and to the exhibitor who is showing it here. "For years the policeman has been misunderstood. This ha3 been largely
due to alleged comic films that aimed to lampoon the police to poke fun at them. This has served to put the police in a bad light in many communities. "But now comes a motion picture that shatters this false idea of the policeman. 'In the Name of the Law" shines like a mighty beacon of truth. It tells all. It shows the policeman as he really is. It shows his family. It
shows his sons. It shows the fine and noble instincts that guide the average guardian of the law in the performance of his daily duties. It shows the struggles and the hardships and the dan-

gers he undergoes to win happiness
for his little family. It shows the dii
ligence with which he saves so that
some day he may own his own home and safeguard his own folks.
"Never have I seen such a powerful
human document on the screen or the
stage. Not only does it Bhow the policeman as he is but it tells in a tremendously entertaining manner, a won
derful story of home love that makes
every man, woman and child better for
navmg seen u.
Probably the biggest punch, in 'Tor the Defense," a new Paramount picture starring Ethel Clayton which will
be shown at the Washington theatre next Thursday comes in the ! trail scene, according to Paul Powell, who directed the production. Jennie, the protege of the heroine, played respectively by Miss ZaSu Pitts and Miss Clayton, is on trial for .the murder of the hypnotist, Dr. Kasimir, played by Bertram Grassby. Seeing that the evidence is all going against the girl, the star springs to her feet, and. regardless of court procedure, cries:
"She is innocent, I killed him!" It is, a dramatic moment. .
ODD FELLOWS REFUSE TO REDUCE AGE LIMIT DETROIT, Mich.. Sept. 23 Two at tempts to amend the constitution ot the Sovereign Grand Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, to reduce
the age of admission to the order from 21 to 18 years, were defeated at the final session of the grand lodge convention here. A third proposed amendment stipulating that all representatives to the Sovereign Grand Lodge
must be patriarchs militant,- was tabled. , ....

MURRAY Jules Verne's fascinating novel, "Mathias Sandorf," has been translated from the French into the universal lansruasre of the motion picture. It is
called "The Isle of Zorda" and will be shown Sunday at the Murray theatre. Its story of adventure, mystery and romance Is told against a shifting panorama of beautiful European scenery. ( Monte Carlo the magnificence of its; Casino, its tropical gardens, its won-j derful sea view, are a striking con-! trast to the slave market in Northern Africa and the Oriental dancing bazaar and harem. Exceedingly picturesque is the village with its quaint, narrow streets; the rugged Beacoast; the fishing village; the prison on the mountainside. Southern France and Northern Africa provided the scenery for "The Isle of Zorda," a Freneh production for Pathe by Louis Nalpas. It i3 enacted by a splendid cast of European stars.
MURRETTE The internal disturbances of certain romantic and ebullient South . American republics, which have for years furnished the American press and humorous writers with material for ex- : citing dispatches or clever, humorous discussions, were placed in the hall of fame by the plays of the late Richard Harding Davis, who was virtually their literany spokesman. "The Dictator," which comes to the Murrette theatre Sunday as a Paramount offering: with Wallace Reid in
the star role, is one of this type byj
:his author. It is the play which W illie Collier made famous on the stage and one in which Mr. Davis paints an exciting picture of volcanic life in the ', Latin-American continent. Walter Woods, an experienced scei narist, translated the play to screen 1 terms, which meant modifying it somewhat, bringing certain incidents down to date and generally applying the modern brush to the canvas, which is, however, still fresh and alluring. Lila Lee, leading woman, has the role of Juanita, dainty daughter of Dr. Rivas, a self-styled "liberator," played .by Theodore Kosloff. Mr. Reid, as Brooke Travers, falls in love with her and then the trouble begins. From , Los Angeles the scene shifts to a tiny Latin-American republic where a bitter war between rebels and regulars
' is waged. James Cruze, a veteran.
Paramount director, handled the mega
phone, j Movie acting is certainly a soft job! Fr instance, all Rodolph Valentino had to do for a solid month was to get out in front of a mean bull and wave a red cape in his face: Easy sure, but Mr. Valentino wasn't bothered with a tremendous lot of company during the time required for these warm and interesting scenes. "Blood and Sand," Mr. Valentino's first Paramount starring picture which closes tonight at the Murrette theatre, was adapated by June Mathis from the Vicente Blasco Ibanez story of Spanish life. It is a Fred Niblo production, . directed by the maker of "The Three Musketeers." WASHINGTON "I - have seen many a motion picture but none has ever touched my heart like In the Name of the Law when I saw it at the pre-release showing last Wednesday morning. That was the glowing tribute paid by Chief of Police Eversman of this city when he saw this picture at the Washington theatre. He added: "Every policeman in the nation, every citizen who advo-
