peace and dentist. She has to de
' pend upon him for support and shel
ter, and thus she automatically be
comes the unpaid family servant.
Later, romance enters into her life,
only to increase her troubles. After
several bitter experiences, however,

jected sin-or on her wedding day
and as Kathleen, niece of Monyeen,

"White Oak."
The sublime romance of the west
that has all but disappeared in the
last few years, is revived again in
William S.- Hart's picture of the
plains in the early, fifties which is
current this week at the Moon the
ater. It is entitled "White Oak," and
Mr. Hart is seen therein in the role
of Oak Miller, "a gamblin' man"
whose word is law and who is white
all through as the tree whose name
he bears.
The story is said to be one of ex
ceptional dramatic strength and won
drous appeal. The exciting events
on a Missouri river steamboat, the
ambushing of a wagon train by In
dians, the rescue by a lone deter
mined man,' the strange punishment
of a scoundrel these constitute only
a :cw ot tne leatures ot this remark
able picture, which is said to be the
best in which Mr. Hart has been
seen in many months.
Vola Vale, a charminz actress, is
air. narts leading woman.
"U. P. Trail" at Mine.
Probably one of the finest wastern
dramas ever portrayed on the screen
is .depicted in . "The U. P. Trail,"
which plays tomorrow and Tuesday
?t the Muse theater. It relates the
hardships and- early struecles .con
nected with the building of the Un
ion racinc ranroad. n is a ane
drey storv.
Pauline Frederick has the leading
role in- "two Kinds of Women,"
which takes the screen at the Muse
theater today. It is a story of the
west. : -
Thomas Meighan is. the chief at
traction at the Muse theater next
Wednesday and Thursday in "The
Conquest of Canaan," a story of a
typical American town, interspersed
with romance.
Wallace Rcid. is the star of "The
Hell Diggers," ' which plays next
Friday and Saturday at the Muse
theater. It is a romance of gold
and guile in the primitive west.
"Nobody."
Opening in Palm Beach, wliere the
idle rich try to find recreation and
pleasure, the story . of "Nobody,"
which opens today at the Empress
theater, moves to New York and to
the palatial home of John Rossmore,
king of commerce. The production
has been staged with a lavish hand,
and the exterior scenes are ones of
remarkable beauty.
The murder of Rossmqre in his
luxurious library; a storm-tossed
yacht in the Atlantic, and realistic
scenes in a jury room with twelve
men juggling the fate of another are
some of the effective high lights in
this drama of the implacability of
fate. .
"Courage." a Sidney Franklin pro
duction; with Naomi Childers and
Sam de Grasse in the leading roles,
will be the feature attraction at the
Empress theater for three davs be
ginning next Thursday. Naomi
Childers has the role of the plucky
little wife whose wrongful impris
oned husband directs a great indus
try from behind his bars and helps
his country in the winning of a war.
He is released when the real culprit
confesses, and the courage of his
wife is rewarded not alone by 7ier
reunion with her husband but also
b the hapoy culmination of the ro
mance of their son.
Sign of the-Times.
Hardly anything is more impor
tant to a theater than its sign the
beacon light that attracts attention
from the populace. -For this reason
every consideration has been given
the selection of a proper electrical
display on the new World theater,
now nearing completion at Fifteenth
and Douglas streets.
On top of the World will be the
largest iron-frame electrical sign in J
Omaha. It will be 66 feet long and
35 feet tall, the largest theater sign
between Chicago and the Pacific
coast. More than 2,000 light sockets
and 50,000 feet of wire will be used
in its construction. Enough cur
rent to run the average small town I
will be used to lisht up the huge
sign, it is said. On a clear night,
one will he able to discern the sign
from a distance of five miles.

Cannibal Lovers .
Have Technique
All Their Own
When an' African, cannibal falls in
ttve, who loses his head the lover
or the beloved?
Does the head-hunter act in the
cavemauisli manner of his dark
skinned cousin of "The Sheik," or
is he as docile as a white-trousered
adolescent whispering sweet noth
ings to a flapper on a country club
veranda?
The answer is provided in "The
Mistress of the World," a scries of
four forthcoming pictures.
The ladies will probably be pleased
to learn that there is much in com
mon between the cannibal lover and
the country club swain. He docs
not go after the maiden of his
choice with a club, but with a cub
the cutest little lion cub which he
can possibly pick up in the jungle.
Tin's he offers as a present to his
lady love, preferably stealing by
night to her thatched lodge and leav
ing it just outside the door, so that
she will be sure to stumble upon the
little beast in the morning as she
goes to bring in the milk and news
paper. The lion club is a love
token, and as a sign that the can
nibal's love is returned, the lady
lakes in her present and feeds it.
During his love-making -the head
hunting Lothario is most subdued
and anxious to please, but he he
comes vcy temperamental if his
lion cub is disdainfully thrown out
into the cold in other words, if he
"gets the kitten," which is African
for "getting the mitten;"
What happens when the prince of
a cannabilistic tribe fastens his af
fections upon the first blond
European woman he has ever seen
is humorously portrayed in "The
Mistress of the World." which, by
the way, bids fair to be one of the
film .sensatious of the current sea
son. Mia May, the beautiful con
tinental star, has the role of the
heroine..
Rockliffc Fellows is strong for
orchids and 'spends all his soare
change purchasing rare bulbs for his
conservatory, wnicn is aireaay lull
of the exotic blooms.
Fiery Komancc for Doug
Doug Fairbanks, who is always
doing the unexpected, has sprung
another surprise. He will not film
the further adventures of Zorro for
his next offering as had been previ
ously announced. Instead he will do
a' stupendous costume feature, mor
elaborate than "The Three Mus
keteers." dealing with the period of
the crusades and the early history
of England, and called, temporarily,
"The Spirit of Chivalry," according
to a dispatch. -
The new vehicle will be a story of
rip-roaring adventure, fiery romance
and gripping dama, dressed in all
the color and atmosphere of the
period, and lavishly costumed, 'tis
said.
"The thrust of D'Artagnan's
tword," said Doug, "will give place
to the slash of the broad-swords of
Ivanline, Richard, the Lion-liearted,
and other early English characters.
Lovers of the age of chivalry will be
thrilled anew bv those bold adventur
ers as they walk onto the screen from
that picturesque past."
Fairbanks will appear as a purely
legendary character against a bark
ground of historical figures familiar
to every man, woman and child the
world over.
Allan Dwan will direct the new
feature, the name of which will be
announced later.
