MONDAY and TUESDAY MARY PICKFORD In "A GIRL OF SURATT eska resolves to tell the wife that she, the painted woman, is also the mistress of the wife's father. But her death prevents this exposure. She dies in the end from the -activities of a feeble mind, the too-deep draughts of the cup of iniquity and self-indulgence, the time-honored road to ruin. This causes a violent revulsion of feeling, perhaps, but the picture is a sensation, nevertheless.

Miss Sunatt works hard in the various happenings and her characterization of the despicable woman at times is most shocking. Poor old Bro-adway, the gayest little street in America, has been dealt a solar-plexus blow by the producer of the play, for it is evident that the soul of the average frequenter of the famous street is not portrayed, but is the example of merely a group of certain idle-mongers.

In the picture is featured the famous French actress and dancer, Regina Badet.

Miss Leona Hutton, star of numerous photodramas produced by the New York Motion Picture" Corporation, is the most recent addition to the David Horsley studios in Los Angeles, Cal.

Miss Hutton, whose work in Broncho, Dorftino, and Kay Bee releases, in which she played the leads, is recognized as being of the highest order, and has won for her a host of admirers in and out TX5ET Leona Hutton, New Horsley (Kn tnal) Star. of screenland. Miss Hutton has already been cast for important roles in forthcoming Horsley productions, to be released in the regular Mutual program. On arriving at the Horsley (Mutual) studios, the first to greet Miss Hutton was Jay Hunt, famous director of motion pictures, now afliliated with the Horsley (Mutual) studios. "Well, strange things do happen, I must say," exclaimed Misa Hutton.

"They sure do," replied Hunt, who will direct the releases in which Miss Hutton is to star. Hunt, by a strange coincidence, directed many of the photodramar, in which she was starred while in the employ of the NYMP. Neither knew that the other had any contortions with, the Haralar studio. i morrow "The College urpnans, a uroaaway universal ieaiure in bis reels, will be the headliner. FAMED OPERA SINGER WILL PLAY FOR SCREEN Digby Bell, Light Opera Star, to Play for Universal Screen Digby Bell, singer' and actor will play "Father," the William H.

Crane role, in the Universal Film company's version of "Father and the Boys." Perhaps no other light opera singer has had greater success than Mr. Bell. He went from his home in Milwaukee to Italy In. 1872 in order to study voice under foreign masters. Ha made his first public appearance in Malta as a concert singer, then, returned to America to make his grand opera debut in- Montreal some five years later.

Many singers with concert and grand opera aspirations are attracted VALESKA Wearing 150 dazzling creations of the modiste's art, Valeska Suratt, familiarly called the "red rose cf the Great White Way," will appear in "The Soul of Broadway" today at the Gamble theatre, in a great Fox feature. Astounding in every detail, "The Soul of Broadway" is a magnetic play which bears startling episodes of New York life. Miss Suratt undoubtedly has no replica as the painted, lustful, panther-woman who ensnares Billy, the young roue who finally rebels when confronted with the bills. Producing a revolver, the woman prepares to kill him but is accidentally Bhot herself in the neck during a tussle, Billy goes to prison for five years and is later paroled. Then he marries and is happy until the animal-woman plans his further destruction.

Billy's wife is aware of his past and had forgiven him. Val "THE LONESOIViE HEART" is twin Pretty Margarita Fischer in Four-Part Mutual Masterpiece for Today A notable feature in the program of the Olympic theatre for today is the four.part Mutual Masterpiece "The Lonesome Heart" in which the charming young Margarita Fischer appears with an excellent cast. With a strong love theme and following a typical American outline, the play should create wide favorabla comment in the city. It is a realistic and intense drama of the heart and is a pleasing producing centred about the trials and happenings of youth. James Stewart places a baby girl on the threshhoid of the county orphanage.

He does net know that Sarah Prue, the superintendent observed him, nor did he know that the child's name, Dorothy Loomis, wdfc embroidered on a shawl wrapped about her. Her father had left the child in Stewart's care, because one-half of the latter's wealth belonged to the tot; as it was left in trust by the deceased Loomis. At the orphanage the girl is known as Samanthy. She is dreamy and romantic and leaves the institution when Miss Pruo reprimands her. George Stewart, son of the man who wronged the infant, finds Dorothy.

He plans to have his father adopt her. But thf latter refuses and the girl goes to the orphanage. George, in love with her follows, and finds his father and Miss Prye talking, the woman trying to extort money from him. To ease his conscience, the elder Stewart agrees to give Dorothy her rightful money and tells her she is an A new life dawns for her and is not the "lonesome heart" any longer. "The Rose in the Dust," ctiapter twenty-two of "The Diamond from the Sky" will also be shown today.

Sankey the stableman with the circus, rescues the famous stone from the lion's cage. Arthur Stanley collapsed after seeing the terrible scene y-v 5 i i i.L cars. Discovery was mereiy a mimei of minutes. Realizing this, the des peradoes take refuge on the broken car and cut it loose from the rest of the train. As the result, the box car commenced traveling down the steep grade.

To their terror the thieves discovered that the brakes were out of order. In the meantime Helen was notified that the car was headed her way. Even as she rushed to the door of the station the runaway flashed by. While the station hands stood gaping the girl telegrapher climbed into an engine, the crew of which was at lunch, and started in pursuit of the car. Scrawling a message on a scjap of paper, Helen placed it inside a lantern which she sent crashing through the window of the next station.

There the message was picked up and relayed ahead. As the result, when Helen's engine, thirty yards behind the runaway, approached the Jimson siding, men were at the switch to enable her to travel parallel with the runaway. Clapping on every ounce of steam, Helen overtook the runaway and, just as she approached the further end of the siding, passed and emerged upoit the main track ahead of it. Yes, the brave girl did prevent a smashup, and she also captured the crooks, together with their loot. The story is told in "The Runaway Box Car;" the- newest episode of Kalem's Hazards of Helen Railroad Series.

JOSEPH W. FARNHAM One of the Leading Litfhtiof the Morion Picture Induatry, now Aaioeieted with the Labia laughy specialties, with numerous interpretations of novelty. One of the finest of animal features ever shown is that which delighted the patrons at the opening show. This turn, Derkin's Animal Actors, is supreme among acts of its kind. There are wonderfully intelligent canines and simians who do unheard of things.

The locale of action in the bow-wow playlet is "Dogyille," and the entire number is presented without the appearance of a single human being on the stage. The inebriate "woof-woof" is particularly funny. It is a stunt that appeals to young and old and the young should not be permitted to miss it. Those that appreciate the keen humor of the old-fashioned Irishman were quick to recognize the efforts of Tom Mahoney, one of the foremost single entertainers on the vaudeville stage. Mr.

Mahoney's delineation of the quick-witted Celt presiding at the weekly meeting of the Hod Carriers' union is something such as is seldom offered. Some could not sec the point of his humorisms, but the point was there just the same. Ray Fern and Elizabeth Mayneare showing a bit of comedy and song that is considerably at variance from the usual. "One and a Half" is the name of their little skit. Humor of the "nut" style is the predominating reature.

A good laughy comedy playlet is added to the bill by Stephens, Bor-deau and Bennett. The theme is based upon a wife's whimsical effort to entertain a backwood's friend of youthful days and misinterpretation on th part of the jleaous husband. Bertie Ford is one of the best performers that we have ever seen on the tight wire. Some of the feats by this artist are extremely dangerous and should have been big applause winners yesterday. The Pathe News and an excellent cartoon comedy make the Orpheo-scope's contribtltion to the bill.

Hallowe'en Funfest This evening will be given over in part to a celebration of Hallowe'en at the cheery playhouse. Fun, of course, will be one of the big predominating rn 1 1 on 1 1 1 it 1 1 1 1 it 1 1 1 ii hi i WTjw igjjThnTlnrWrWrj t3 yvmhfinnnrt There are one or two disgruntled railroad men who are asserting that any one could have done just as well, now that the feat has been accomplished. But, the fact remains that at the time it happened Helen was the only person whose wit was nimble enough to instantly enable her to pursue exactly the right course of action. Here is what happened. A couple of yepemen, learning that a valuable package was to go forward in the ex press car of the 7:07, 'stole two identi fication cards and necessary apparatus from a storage shed, and, under the guise of repair men, obtained permission to ride in the express car.

Shortly after the train had left Hu ron the crooks attacked the messenger and got away with the package. Word of the theft was promptly sent broadcast, while Detective Carl and a number of men were dispatched to round up the culprits. The following day Helen received a message for local freight, In which the conductor of the latter was ordered to pick up a broken box car and bring it from a mountain spur to the repair shops. While this order was being carried out Detective Carl and his assistants compelled their Quarry to leave cover. The crooks climbed aboard the freight train just as it was pulling out of the station.

Suspecting the truth, the pursuers climbed aboard the train and com menced systematically searching the next Wednesday and Thursday. This drama is founded on the stage play of that name by Owen Davi3 and Henry K- Webster. It is a story ot infinite thrills from its mystery-shrouded interest-exciting start to its tlramatic finish. In none of its fascinating reels is the unexpected finale apparent, a virtue so seldom found in most features nowadays. Pretty Irene Fenwick, who, under the Kleine management has been so successfully starred the present season, never appeared to better advantage.

Tfie almost tragic role of Ruth ftteA'lister, accused murder, is especially well suited to her temperament and capabilities. She is supported by a splendid cast, which includes Delia Connor, John Davidson, Frank Belcher and Richie Ling.

Upon its completion the entire company will return to the main branch of the Universal western studio. LIFE TOLD III PHOTOPLAY "The Spirit of Audubon' Indorsed by Lovers of Birds Everywhere T.

Gilbert Pearson, the secretary of the National Association of Audubon Societies, witnessed a private showing of the two-reel Thanhouser release, "The Spirit of Audubon" at the Mutual offices recently and went away enthusiastic in his praise for this picture, which incorporates in a vital living story the principles which it is the desire of the Audubon societies to forward. "The Spirit of Audubon" returns in this film to a little boy and a little girl in their sleep and takes them with him to the southland where they may see the romance of the life of birds. When they have witnessed what the spirit of the great man who loved the birds shows them they both declare that they will be nothing but kind to birds from henceforth. Some of the most interesting portions of the film are those which display bird life in Louisiana, showing the great bird reservations that have been established by the government and by the Audubon societies, through the ardent endeavors of Mr. Pearson.

The photographing was done by Herbert K. Job, who is the expert on applied ornithology for the National Association of Audubon- Societies The pictures were made on a trip on which Mr. Job was accompanied by Theodore Roosevelt.

The presentation of this celebrated play on the screen was this week arranged by the Famous Players' Film company, through its theatrical affiliation with the Charles Frohman company, which controls the dramatic property. i Added interest attaches to the plan to present Miss Doro in the screen adaptation because of the fact that in the stage version of this famous play she attained one of ner greatest stage triumphs. It was only a year ago that Miss Doro co-starred with William Gillette and Blanche Bates in the revival of the Sardou play at ti.e Empire theatre, New York, under Frohman management. This revival was hailed as one of the most notable theatrical events of the sea son and Miss Doro scored a great personal success in the role which she will now present on the screen It was also in "Diplomacy" that Miss Doro Von her greatest success abroad.
