It's all about that eternal triangle they write so much about in books and things, and is French, of course. The husband, Monte, undertakes to teach his flirtatious wife a lesson by offering divorce at most magnanimous terms, to give her an opportunity to marry her almost-lover.

Then the give and take of the possessive instinct of a man for his mate and vice versa cacry one through the rest of the film to the inevitable climax. French and frank are some of the episodes, but none could be called offensive, though a few are dull in spite of the Frenchness and frankness. Typical Lubitsch-clever bits of by-play buoy one oyer the rough spots. Especially charming are some of the short flashes full of suggestion and the telling use and photography of the husband's hands, that sknply can't make up their minds to slap his wife, in spite (of his generous to give her'a divorce on grounds of extreme cruelty. The Carolina scenic is well worth seeing, for the views and splendid pictures of hunting dogs.

If you like a dog, you'll like this. And there is a remarkable shot in the news reel of the tests of smoke screens for the new dirigible that no one should miss.

Unlike other travelogue variety of big picture, each of these episodes is full of interest nnd a real meaning in the whole plot. The various women he meets in his travels and who influence his life and music are all interestingly done, with an especially good version of "Frisco Sal'' by Helen Ware. This occurs in the Port Said incident, which is full of fine scenes that hold the eye for themselves as well as the plot. On the South Sea Isles he finds his true love, phryed by Bessie Love and out of the travail of his life comes a F.vmphonly, the "Great Music" for which the play on which the film is based was called.

13th and William Mr. JamesH. Allen, of 26 Forbes Rochester, N. suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable work.

He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be re from rheumatism until the accumulated impurities, commonly called urio acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and ezpelled from the body. With. this idea in mind he consulted physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system. He freely gave his discovery, which he called Allenrhu, to others who took it, with what might be called marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers.

He has therefore instructed Stanley Drug Co. and druggists everywhere to dispense "Allenrha with the understanding that if his prescription does not banish every sign and symptom of the disease he will gladly return your money without comment.

Otherwise the act was of the average of fts kind.

"The Baggage Smashers," which was a corking satire on how tourists baggage is mangled and "The Little Cottage," one of those light, tuneful and graceful musical tabloids, with Frank Sinclair. Mildred Keats and others in the cast and chorus came in for its full meed of enthusiasm. It was in twot scenes and nicely staged, well acted and replete with amusing situations. The photoplay feature 'was "The Bridge of Sighs," based on the story by Charles K.

Harris, in which the pampered son of a rich man brings misery to an innocent man 'and finally makes amends by marrying the daughter. Dorothy Mackaill is the girl aDd gives her usual appealing portrayal while Creigh-ton Hale, and Ale Francis are also prominently cast. The orchestra rendered an operatic melange in excellent fashion- and the organ was played by Irving Cahill. "Turn to the Right" Grand A revival of Winchell Smith's cleverly written crook drama, "Turn to the Right," served to introduce the Raynor Lehr Company i a new angle of their artisiic talents at the Grand Opera House last night. "Turn to the Right" is the story of a youth who.

upon being given his freedom, after serving time Johnny Hines in his newest picture, "The Cracker Jack," was the excellent warm weather offering at the Karlton yesterday. It fairly radiates breezi-ness and made one forget for the nonce the atmosphere outside the theatre. It is a delicious comedy and concerns the entrance of the hero, a pancake bouncer in a lunch room into the pickle business which his uncle is running at a loss. Our hero starts a spectacular publicity campaign to put over the pickles. Then stunts are original and extremely funny as well as too numerous to mention in detail.

However, a little later the hero discovers that the father of thfv.girl he loves is mixed up in a Mexican revolutionary plan to conceal cartridges in Perkins' pickles. He goes about the prevention of the fracas, saves the girl's father and of course, wins Th4s is but a bare outline of the amusing situations which chase each other throughout the picture, with the popular Johnny always on the job. and doing his work immensely well. Sigrid one of our most pretty actresses, has little to do but she adds charm to the picture and J.

CHARLES RAY COMEDY "Percy" Shown at the Victoria Is Full of Amusing Moment Charles Kay, having come back to his old-time form, provided many amusing moments for the audiences at the Victoria yesterday in "Percy," an adaptation of. the novel.

"The Desert Fiddler." The story concerns Percy, a young man whose father endeavors to make him shake off the handicap of his name and femininity. As a result, Percy rides a boxcar and land out West, where things begin to happen, and between the hard knocks and severe jolts Percy oomes through a real man. It is in just such roles that Ray made his greatest success, and it is pleasing to have him back in them again. However, Charles Murray, in the role of lit itinerant evangelist who rides into the town on a mule, carrying an umbrella to protect his whiskers from the sun. comes dangerously near to stealing first honors from tbe star.

It is a scream of a role and Murray does muh with it. It is good entertainment, throughout end was much appreciated by those who raw it yesterday. Betty Blythe. Louise Dresser. Joseph Kilgour and others are In the supporting company.

"That a Stata, in the exercise of its police power, may punish those who abuse this freedom by utterances inimical to the public welfare, tending, to corrupt public morals, incite to crime or disturb the public peace, is not open to question." Supreme Court to Cut Docket Under New Rules WASHINGTON, June 8 CA. The Supreme Court today promulgated the new set of regulations made necessary by legislation passed at the last session of Congress to give it greater discretionary latitude in determining what cases it will review, and to bring about a considerable reduction in its burden. Chief Justice Taft also gave notice that, when the court reassembles for its next term, October 5.

the original docket, which carries a number of cases brought by States, would be called with a view to eliminating all cases which are not prosecuted with reasonable diligence. A nuujiber of the cases affected have been decided by the court, but at the request of States it has held them on the docket to retain jurisdiction so as to enforce its decrees.

Cecil nnd rSt. John comedy, "Fare just told it weren't true they ought to have been, anyway. The Arnaut Brothers who have just returned from a long foreign tour put on their well remembered clowning act in which they do difficult stunts while playing musical instruments and end their number with an imitation of birds that is unique. The dancing offering of Al White Jr. is excellently staged and costumed.

There are four girls in it besides White himself and each one is a solo dancer in her own right. It is an unusually good number. Holmes and Le- Vere had an amusing skit entitled "Themselves" which is funny and included some good dancing and the Four Diamonds also put on an interesting act the feature of which is acrobatic dancing by one of the older men of the companj-. Mack and Brantley gave an excellent roller skating exhibition and Bud and Eleanor Coll also pleased in "Youth and Talent," which combines music and some good stepping. The screen features, film news and humorous pictures were interesting.

"The Best People" at Cross Keys The Mae Desmond Company presented "The Best People." the Gray-Hopwood comedy, at the Cross Keys last night and were royally received in it. It is a satirical play depicting the contrasts between the young people of today who paint and powder and live the pace, with those who have experienced little of the fads and fancies of the day. The latter would save the young from sin and degredatiou. But the latter are not easily saved. Thereon are strung many amusing situations.

Miss Desmond and Mr. Fielder gave the Comedy touch to the central characters, while the other members of the company contributed portrayals which aided materially in making the production an interesting and entertaining one throughout. Vaudeville and Films at Nixon The double bill of vaudeville and films at the Nixon last night had as its chief feature Robert McKim and Company in a musical comedy revue, "The Bachelor's Bride." which was bright and melodic. Frank X. Silk contributed au amusing monologue and the Royal Gas-coignes.

"The Tornada" at the Regent There are some thrilling incidents in "The Tornado" which was presented at the Regent last night with House Peters as the star. The story is that of the eternal triangle, revolving around a man whose life has been wrecked by a friend's disloyalty in marrying his sweetheart. In a raging tornado he saves a lumber camp and the life of his beloved. The tornado effect is immensely exciting and effective. "Confessions of a Queen" Capitol Daudet's story.

"Kings in Exile" renamed "Confessions of a Queen" for screen purposes, was the offering at the Capitol, last night. Alice Terry and Lewis Stone have the leading roles of the king and the princess who marries the king. The picture was reviewed at length when recently shown at another house. It is full of romance and has some spirited scenes in it. Charges similar to those recently brought against Matt Patterson, the Nineteenth Ward leader, during the investigations of the police activities at the Feil brewery, could be made against all politicians.
