Miss Annis has appeared with a number of musical comedy productions and in her present vaudeville offering she sings a few of the ballads she used in musical comedy: Besides an important part in "Fluffy-Ruffles," a few seasons ago. and another in support of Grace La Hue, Miss Annis is said to have played the role of Mariposa for a time last season In "The Marriage Market."

The present offering is in two scenes, the first representing the stage entrance of a theater, while the second that of the "star's" dressing room. The 'surprise" is a mirror illusion.

The story harks back to slavery times and deals with the tragedy-; resulting from what was commonly vcalled in the South of ante-mellum days, "a touch of tho tar brush."

"Hypocrites" is doubly a woman's triumph, it.

is said, Margaret Edwards playing the part of the woman who appears as Truth, and Lois Webber, the producing director, being responsible for the photographic art which is a distinctive feature of the film. The presentation of Truth as an Illusory figure is accomplished by means of double exposure, a most difficult piece of work, but one in which Mrs. Smalley (Lois Webber) has been singularly successful. The story of "Hypocrites" told briefly is of one Gabriel, an aesthetic monk of mediaeval times, who perfects an image of Truth in marble, which he unveils before the populace on a fete day, and is stoned to death when it is found that William Farnum, billed as the dramatic star," plays the leading role, supported by a company of twenty prominent actors.

As his spirit passes out spectacle in which the 'modern and mediaeval this week. The first named, who probably stands unsurpassed in point of film beauty and popularity, headlines the programme for to-day, to-morrow and Tuesday in the World Film's latest feature, "Marrying Monev." this five-part comedy drama, whicn highly popular when originally produced on- the. stage, Clara Kimball Young is given opportunity to show her comedy as well as dramatic taicnts. Heretofore, in such strictly dramatic offerings as "Hearts Exile." "Mv Official Wife" and The Deep Purple." Mrs. Young has been called upon omy to portray parts of the emotional type.

Her many admirers will doubtless welcome the opportunity ot noting her seldom-used talents as a funmaker. "Marrving Money" relates how a girl is deputed by her family to marrv a rich Count, who. however, turns out. to be the possessor of nothing more valuable than his title. Marrying to order is not really the girl's own conception of her mission in life, and she falls in love with a young fellow, Ted, impersonated in the photoplay by Chester Barnett, who hasn't a cent to his name.

The young couple are perfectly happy with each other, however. an agreeable surprise awaits them in the news that after all Ted comes into a rich inheritance, so that Mildred finally succeeds in "marrying, money" and love as well. Charles Chaplin, in a two-part Kss-anay comedy, "The Champion." wilt bo presented with "Marrying Money" to-day, while to-morrow and Tuesda the latest edition of the serial "Tho Goddess." will be the extra feature. This same episode of Gouver-ncur Morris continuous story will bo presented on Wednesday and Thursday with "Tho Juggernaut," which is announced for final return engagement in Louisville." A decided feature of the latter photodrama. which stats Anita Stewart and Karle Williams, is a most thrilling and realisti-j railroad wreck.

FOR to-day the Majestic motion picture theater announces a return of Blanche Sweet in the photodrama, "Stolen Goods." in which she was seen there several weeks ago. Miss Sweet, though a' newcomer to thr ranks of screen stars, is one of the most popular of present film artiste and the insistent demand for another showing of the picture is a testimonial to her ability and personal magnetism The story, which is somewhat similar to that of "Within the deals with the persecution of a young girl who is falsely accused of theft, bu( who eventually clears her name in a dramatic manner.

The payment of the check causes a run on the bank and the treasurer, being exposed, goes to jail.

In this closing act in particular Mr. Krnest R. Abbott, whose company is presenting this successful piece, gave a notably skillful character performance of the wily old Ben. Whether Lady Hose, who had lost her littlo-son and the chance of having any further offspring in a motor accident, would actually have adopted (even on the recommendation of her husband's uncle, the Rev. Peter Cor-diner, a parson working in the East End) the child of so disreputable a woman as Meg has descended to be, may be open to question; but at.

any rate the authoress works out her idea sensiblv, for she makes Meg. after one violent" effort to get her boy back on tho discovery that Kingdon is his father, resigns him to Lady Rose and her husband. Quite in accordance also with the fitness of things is the much-soiled heroine's final consent to marry Curly, who had carried about with him all through the war the wedding ring which he had formerly asked her to wear.
