ALT MOUSE. Pit At the Photoplay From the scene in the Broadway Star Feature picture. "My Official Wife," in which the beautiful and fas rinating Helene Marie. Cjuoen of Nihilists, vows to go to Russia on a secret mission, until her lovely body is seen floating on the waves beside lie- noble Russian lover, the pictures carries us through a maze of adventure. "Mv Official Wife" was written Richard Henry Savage and was dramatized for stage pttrposes over a decade ago.

The picturized version is in five parts and is one of the strongest dramas of Russian life ever filmed. The atmosphere of the Czar's domains is cleverly carried through the entire story, while eon trusted views of peasant life and Russian society give a vivid glimpse of conditions as they actually exist. Clara Kimball Voung, who the beautiful nihilist, is an admirable Helene Marie, her face revealing the rapt soul of the young plotter i'o lib erty. Miss Voung is ably supported by Earle Williams, Harry Morcy, L. Rogers Lvtton and a star cast of Vitagraph players.

"My Official Wife" will be the feature attraction at the Photoplay to-day. Along with a two-act Vitagraph re leave. "Good-bye Summer," in which Norma Talmadge and Antonio Mareno. the ideal couple, are featured. This is a Vitagraph Day at the Photoplay.

Adv. School Board Meeting The Harrisburg School Board will meet to-night in regular session. Routine business will be transacted..
