V; urunrnciiin nnnuo.

40 NATIONS BELONG

(By Associated Press) EVANSTON.. 111., Sept. 26. The

(world's Women's Christian Temper-

jance union, -which will hold Its tenth

convention at Philadelphia, Nov. 11-16,

has 1,000,000 members of .40 national

ities, according to a Etatement from

! headquarters here of the national tr-

s ganizatlon. The first president of the

i international organization -was Mar

i successors vera Frances E. Willard, Lady .Henry Somerset, and Rosalind,

Countess of Carlyle. Since the coun

tess' death, Miss Anna A. Gordon, vicepresident, has been acting president

Miss wuxara is said to have con

ceived the idea of an international or

ganization for temperance as the result of a visit to Chinatown in San

.Francisco. She founded the World's !V. C. T. U. in 1883. "We are one

fworld of tempted humanity" she wrote.

About a year later a petition for iworld-wide prohibition, drafted by Miss Willard, was circulated in various i countries. Miss Willard said that to

i enumerate the languages of the sign-

iers woudl be "to make a list of almost every tongue that has survived the (confusion of Babel." They totaled

AMUSEMENTS

MURRAY I The announcement of the Murray

theatre that it is showing; "The Isle

of Zorda," a film version of Jules

Verne's story, "Mathias Sandorf." re

minds one of what a marvelous imagination this French writer had.

What a gift, what a talent, what a

genius is imagination. In hi3 mind,

Jules Verne could plumb the center

of the earth; he could travel to the depths of the sea; to the heights of

the moon; around the world:

He could imagine wonderful adven

tures; deep mysteries; dark intrigues;

charming romances, as no other writer before or since him. And his pen was as vivid as his imagination. The

imaginings of his own mind be gave freely to the world.

And what a man is Mathias San

dorf, hero of "The Isle of Zorda." Great-hearted, noble-souled, splendid

he suffered every agony of the flesh

and the spirit through betrayal. But

he never gave up. At no time was the

fight too great for his strength ana

courage. He rose again to tne neignts through his own tremendous efforts, and then he matched his wits against

the greedy plotting of his enemies.

Mathias Sandorf's personality ana story is said to carry you away from your daily atmosphere of monotony and petty troubles and into a world of adventure that every red-blooded, courageous person, in the bottom of their hearts, longs for. That means it Is genuine entertainment.

MURRETTE "Come home at once your mother is dvinsr."

This seemingly terrible bit of news,

conveved over the wires from XVtew'

ark, N. J., to Cody, Wyo., changed the

destiny of a man's life.

Had the late Hal Reid not chosen

this rather startling means to bring

his son. Wallace Reid. back home the

popular Paramount star might still be building dams and raising horses and

alfalfa in the west instead of starring in "The Dictator," a Paramount pic

ture adapted from Richard Hardin.

Davis' famous play, which is playing

at the Murrette theatre.

Father Reid, being an actor and

dramatist, did things in a melodra

matic way. Wally was making good as an engineer and rancher, and he

knew he would have to startle him to

bring him back to Jersey.

Wally hopped the train and went all

the way to Chicago in his boots and

corduroys. In the latteivcity he bought j a hand-me-down and continued his journey. His mother and father were

out paying a social call when Wally arrived him and, of course, Wally was very much surprised to learn that she was not dying. Wally then started to work on the old Newark Morning Star as a reporter, and this work later led him into vaudeville and thence to motion pictures. VASHINGTON Little Ben Alexander, the talented boy actor who cried his way to fame as "the little brother" is D. W. Grif

fith's "Hearts of the World," has an

other appealing role in "In the Name

of the Law," an Emory Johnson production released by F. B. O. and now

6howing at the Washington theatre.

Little Ben was born in Goldfield,

Nevada, and, although only nine, has had more honors and adventures

crowded into the short span of his

life than usually fall to the lot of or

dinary mortals in half a century.

It is due to his mother's understand

ing and innate dramatic instinct that

the youngster is today charming thousands via the silver sheet and the stage. . His sympathetic reaction to fairy tales at the tended age of two years convinced Mrs. Alexander that little Ben was destined to become an actor and so, when he was just four, she took him to a motion picture studio in Hollywood. . . . It was not difficult to attract the attention of directors to the bright little chap and before long Ben found himself playing a cupid part -with Fanny. Ward in "Each Pearl a Tear."

Other good parts followed. One of them was his remarkable portrayal of

the tragic little boy in "Hearts of the

World," which established him as a prodigy. MURRAY VAUDEVILLE Four good acts grace the Murray

board this first half of the week. I "The best comedy male quartet in vaudeville," is the way The Four Vol

unteers are advertised. While the

writer cannot go bo far in the role of commentator, it can be said conservatively that the act far outshines tho ordinary offering of similar nature. Claim upon such a standing is accomplished more by the singing ability of

the four than by their bits of comedy. A worth-while performance is represented Bell and Carron prove popular with their comedy-ecrobatical numbers.

Opening with dash that startles one, and continuing with more or less zeal, one finds much to admire about the cleverness of the male member of the

team in pertorming his tumbling and balancing feats. His teammate provides a dance number in addition to her first burst of activity. Herron and Ornsman's brand of humor is indicated by a sample of their "gags." The young lady says he saw a fellow knocking on a lamp post.

"What are you doing?" she inquires with some interest "I want to get in," the stranger returns, "I know they are home for I see a light upstafrs." That one goes over big. The young lady In the act is the "show" and gets across (pardon the vernacular) very well. . Capman and Capman are quite versatile with their feet. Comedy is introduced throughout their offering,
