Cohan's famous play, and Buster Keaton in the first of his comedies in which he is the star, "One Week," the Columbia Theater is offering for the entire week what is undoubtedly one of the strongest programs of the season. Charlie Ray's first independent picture from his own studios has been a long awaited event and this popular star has scored an emphatic hit as the ex-prize fighter Kid Burns, which, Ray says, forever takes him away from the old time cringing, backward, country boy role The concensus of -i i-v -l hot i nip ig tar Qnn T17Q VI opinion is that this is far and away the best picture Kay ever made.

Buster Keaton's "One Week" is one of the funniest comedies ever made and plants Buster firmly on his feet as star. Adv. STAR. Bob Shinn and his Roof Garden Frolic Girls have left no stone unturned to provide the Star Theater patrons with the means of seeing some very nifty eye and ear entertainment the first half of the week and their second week's engagement gives every promise of being even more successful from every point of view than the first. The cooling system is in fine working order at the Star and with a clever girl and music show coupled with a cool, comfortable spot to sit, theatergoers are killing two birds with one stone in going to the theater these torrid days.

Douglas MacLean, than whom there is no cleverer light comedian on the screen, is ofering his newest picture production as the added feature and in "The Home Stretch" Doug lays himself out to be entertaining and surely does make good. This ia a racing story and the audience is treated to the stirring horse races upon which the romance hinges. It is a corking good picture and completes a splendid program. Adv. TTTSOR ORAM).

The vaudeville program includes three exceptional acts, headed by Rath and Garren present "Marriage vs.

Divorce," a musical farce of everyday life, featuring George Usher with Marion Suke and company, a very classy offering. Other acts are the popular comedienne Anne Kent, the girl who writes her own songs, offers a revue of songs and dances and Beagy and Clause, a mixed team of roller skaters. The Pathe News and the Topics of the Day together with a musical program by the Wysot Grand orchestra completes the program. STRAyP. Shirley Mason, winsome little star, is in her present vehicle.

"The Lamplighter," now being shown at the Strand today and Wednesday, scoring a greater success than was hers In any of the previous productions in which she has been seen. Maria Susanna Cummins, who wrote the story of "The Lamplighter," has taken for her motif the retribution that follows in the wake of those who deliberately set out to estrange two loving hearts that fate had destined to a life companionship. How this estrangement is worked out to the cruel disadvantage of a littlp girl who is compelled to pass the greater part of her childhood amid sinister surroundings, and how a kindly old la pUghte made tn instrument of fate to set all right, is told in a most fascinating and compelling narrative. Howard M. Mitchell, who directed Miss Mason's other great screen successes, also directed "The Lamplighter." LIBERTY.

Jacques Jaccard has a theory that morality is mostly a matter of location, and that the strongest man is helpless in the grasp of environment. He has expounded this theory in "Honor Bound," a romance of the South American rubber country intense in sheer virility, which he has produced for Universal with Frank Mayo in the principal role. "Honor Bound," shows at the Liberty theater today last times. Jaccard has given Mayo th? part of Billy Thorpe, a civilized ne'er-do-well who "finds" himself in rugged outdoor work in South America. The same transplantation from metropolis to jungle has affected an established New York business man in exactly opposite manner, and In the tropics he has degenerated to a whisky-soak who spends his time with a beautiful but unmoral native woman.

How first one man, then another, reverts to primitive instincts, when women from civilization come to complicate the simple facts of their existence, and the outcome of the struggle that ensues not only makes "Honor Bound" a dramatic exposition of great power, but also a study of fascination to the psychologist.
