T NEXT WEEK AT THE HEAT RE

MURRETTE Mack Sennett has evolved a new and popular pastime in "The Crossroads of New York," his latest six-reer comedymelcdrama, which is being released through Associated First National Pictures. Inc., and will be shown at the Murrette theatre beginning Sunday. It Is the pastime of a quick getaway. The plot revolves around the fortnno or James Flint. "Wall Street power and man of wealth. The financier has not only fallen hard for a Broadway vamp, but Qnis that he is involved beyong his financial depths. In his philanthropic heart he offered to finance a musical, show la which she was to Btar; but he had no idea of how fast that lady could spend money.

Faced by this situation, James de

cided upon Alaska as a nice, cool

place where musical comedies had never established themselves. His quick departure left the management of his affairs in the hands of hi? nephew Michael, a graduate from the country, who is the main figure In the plot. The youngster has to deal with several villains who aspire to the old man's wealth and makes a success of his job, but only after a serie3 of thrilling dramatic and humorous Incidents that involve the smashing of a Broadway 6how and a riotous scene on the New York Stock Exchange.

Mack Sernett's new-fourd art of

making a serious drama with a humorous vein has never been put to a belter test than here. The production has been set with a lavish hand and some of the scenes mount to sensational h sights in their effect Twelv; prominent players appear in the cast. MURRAY

Elaine Hamtnerstein's latest Sel?-

nlck picture. "The way of a Maid, which opens for four days next Sun

day at the Murray theatre, is said to be a epringhtly romance of intriguing

charm.

"The Way of a Maid" deals with

the complications arising out of the es

capades of Nadia Castleton, orphan and heiress. Dressed in the fancy ball

costume of a lady's maid, she is mi

taken by a tipsy young millionaire for Ihe real thing. Entangling situations

in infinite variety present, themselves

one after another when Nadia, poslnj;

as her own maid, accepts the atten tions of Tom Lawlor. When Nadia's fortune takes a sue!'

den and unexpected plunge at this

juncture, Nadia gets herself in deeper

by taking the position of companion.

lo Tom s mother,' who wants someone to guide her through the upward mazes of her ascent into society.

Playing maid to her employer in her own home, which Nadia has secretly rented to the Lawlors, is but one of

the exquisite touches Miss Hammer-

stein lends to the role of Nadia Cas-

tleton.

The cast is excellent and includes

Niles Welch, Diana Allen, Arthur Housman, Charles Brown, Helen Lindroth, Arthur Donaldson, William Erville and the charming old character actor George Fawcett. The picture is directed by William P. S. Earle.

WASHINGTON - The fruits of Jesse I Lasky's efforts to persuade the world's leading authors and dramatists to write original stories directly for the screen are gradually being harvested. W. Somerset Maugham, Elinor Glyn and George Ade have recently created screen material for Mr. Lasky's stars. Not only have they written their stories with the screen exclusively in view; they went to Hollywood, Calif., and spent profitable weeks at the Lasky studio studying motion picture- technique and procedure.

Edward Sheldon is the latest pupil in Mr. Lasky's school. The well known author of such successful plays as "Salvation Nell," Romance" and "The Czarina" moved his typewriter into movieland and, after serving as an interested observer for a short period, produced a story called 'On the High Seas," which so delighted the heart of Mr. Lasky that he purchased it on the spot. He not only bought the yarn, but selected two of the leading Paramount stars Dorothy Dalton and .lack Holt to play the chief roles in the screen version. Mr. Sheldon's screen effort is some-

Jane ' Novak's melodrama "The

Snowshoe Trail." which will be at the palace theatre on Sunday, one of the outstanding dramatic thrill sub

jects of the season.

The screen has produced many a

cuper-thrill In the course of its career, but seldom if ever, has a single

production possessed such a stirring

succession of gripping scenes as "The Snowshoe Trail." Miss Novak and Roy Stewart, her leading man, risked their lives not once, but a dozen times in filming this subject in the

snow-covered reaches of the northwest. The scene in which they are spilled

off the backs of their horses into the

raging waters of tbe ice-jam in the

midst of a blinding river, is almost in a class by itself in point of sheer

thrill.

VOICE OF SEA DOG

BATTERY 'LANDMARK',' STARTLES STRANGERS

A New York Letter to the Pittsburgh

Dispatch. '

Gus Knippler's voice is one of the landmarks" of the Battery. It is as

much a part of the place as the Aqua

rium or the benenwarmers wno now and then are startled from precarious

slumbers bv a rumbling noise that

sounds like the prologue to an earthnnakP. but chanees suddenly and

clearly into ear-splitting oraers 10 a tugboat captain all the way across the park to tow some boat or another from some place to some other place. Gus Knippler is general manager for

a towing company and a good voice; saves so much bother with telephones j that Mr. Knippler simply talks directly j to his captains through a megaphone i in his office. All of which, strange as j it may seem, is a perfectly ordinary j occurrence on the Battery. Nobody j

pays mucn attention 10 n a"" first terrible moment or even troubles to figure out what Mr. Knippler is saying. Such is Mr. Knippler and such was the Battery, all peace and quiet in the

warm May sunshine, boats slipping , past with the easy movement of a child's panorama show. Sea and air, and sunlight and quiet and then "Hell." - . It -is not a nice word, perhaps, nor one that looks particularly well in print, but this is nothing compared to how rC sounded through Gus Knippler's megaphone. It seemed to drop from the fleecy clouds moving languidly overhead, drawing shadow patterns on the Battery grass. It. was like a bomb, short and terrific. Expressive and startling. Everybody looked around, expecting probably some won-

aerrul manifestation of Gus. All they saw was what Mr. Knippler had seen, a collie dog trotting alone the le-

vated tracks toward the South Ferry

station, directly in fron of a south-j bound train. There was ,Ttot a single dissenting voice from Mr. Knippler's eloquent comment.

Two who agreed to the point of action were Joseph Brown and Henry Barth, soldiers stationed at Governors Island. They shinned up an "L" support and tried to coax the dog out of the path of, the train. The dog, however, trotted solemnly along the track! He did, finally, reach the station before the train and' was rescued by. Joseph Griffen, the "preacher cop." The ' Battery settled back to its thinking, ' and Mr.-Knippler bawled to Capt. Richard Wray of' the tugboat Nichols to go somewhere or other and tow some ship or other from the place wheie it was to some other place.

Masquerade Party Staged

By Fountain City Grange , (Special to the Palladium) 4 FOUNTAIN CITY, Ind., Oct. 28. A masquerade party was staged by the Fountain City Grange at the hall Friday night. , Games and contests were engaged in, and luncn-served at the end of the evening. Several musical numbers "were given by Messrs. Keen and Isenhowar of the Grange. The regular Grange meeting will be held next Friday night, when a report of the state Grange meeting will be given by the delegates. .......

"Bell's Famous Hawaaians" renown

ed troupe of singing, playing, and danc

ing entertainers will be at the Washington theatre all next week and as this attraction has created an unusual amount of interest and worthy criticism throughout the various cities where it has played, will no doubt astound the patrons of Washington during their seven day engagement here.

Folks with a notion that movie actors draw pay for merely sleeking their locks into a glistening pompadour or for wearing the latest style bat wing collars have another think coming, according to Paul Richter, the screen player, who is called upon to descend into a den of tigers before the eyes of those who see him at the Washington theatre Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the big Paramount picture "Above All Law."

MURRAY VAUDEVILLE The Blue Bird Revue, a pretentious girl ofiering with elaborate stage settings and wardrobe, will head the new bill opening tomorow mating at th; Murray for the firsthalf. The act is comprised of two charming young ladies, and two young men who offer dancing and singing ranging from Jazz to grand opera. Duvall and Symonds late recruits from the musical comedy field, will offer their comedy skit "Their First Quarrel," which tells of the first disagreement of a newly-wedded couple. Then there will be Santucci, "The

Wizard of the Piano-Accordeon." As a performer upon this particular instrument he stands alone, commencing where all the others end. Lester, Bell and Griffin are three clevei acrobats who bill their offering "Three Boys in White." For speed and comedy they are said to be the peers of all acts of a similar nature. The screen feature will be Elaine Hammerstein in "The Way of a Maid." The bill will be headlined Thursday by "The Sheik" who was imported direct from Araby. This is not a misstatement but an actual fact, that, the act is imported direct from Araby. although we cannot leara definitely at this time just what the nature of the act is. Billy . Doss, who created a figure

here three years ago with his blackface comedy will also be on this bill.

but instead of being with a girl act. he is appearing alone with a new line of character and songs. Behman and Grace in "You'll be Surprised," and The Wilhat Troupe with their "Krazy Kar" will complete the' bill.
