Here, instead of the usual swash buckling hero who fights with both hands and shoots from the hip, we have a timid little man whom the people of the town falsely believe to be a hero.

The picture is said to have a pleas ing theme of a man's love for five motherless children entrusted to his care by a dying friend. He brings the children to his home, to the dis gust of his intended bride and to the delight of his private secretary. As the story develops, blind love is awakened with surprising results. The picture is based on Edward Peple'a novel, "The Proxy Daddy." "Ten Nights In a Barroom." The theme of the film drama, "Ten Nights in a Barroom," now play ing at the Sun theater, is a story tinted with what a few might sus pect, of being propaganda. It ob viously embodies a moral which a post-Volstead public is apt to regard with curiosity. "Ten Nights in a Barroom" is the . . c f 1 1 i l : i j . : . t . ...Vv.

Tom Mix at the Moon theater this week in "Up and Going," a stirring story of the great Canadian North west, where some men fight like heroes to force the wilderness to give up its riches, and where others fight like devils to wrest from the heroes that which they have gained including gold and women; where the spirit of adventure is ever in the air. -' The story, written by Mix and Lynn F. - Reynolds, is that of an English lad, born in the northwest, whose father falls heir to a fbrtune and a title and returns to England where, when the lad has grown to man's estate, he fails to win the hand of a girl he loves and returns to the northwest to seek forgetfulness. In this northwest is his mother, who Our Mammoth Typhoon Cooling System Now in Operation SHOWING TODAY EUGENE O'BRIEN "Channing. of the Northwest" PRICES: CbJldran, 10c WmIc Day Matin, 25c, 30c Night, Sunday Mat., 30c, AOt 1', 1 ThomtsMen'tJ&ructguerm-Stntna, TomMix-Meon Sudfnt Cffrteti'Cmpmss Virginia VUlh-Wcrld MdyMurrw his father bad told him was dead There, too, is his childhood sweet heart The complications that arise make an exciting story that ends in a thrilling fight and rescue.

In "Channing of the Northwest," which opens today at the Empress theater, Eugene O'Brien is well fit ted to play the English gentleman ft ho through circumstances is forced to go to Canada and take up a life of adventure. As "Channing" Mr, O'Brien is first seen as an English gentleman of leisure whose chief occupation seems to be decorating Piccadilly and May fair. Of course, he is an admirer of the girls at the Gaiety. In fact, falls in love with one of them. Unfor tunately he loses all his money and the Gaiety lady straightway walks out on him. It is then he leaves for Canada, joins the Northwest Mounted and soon finds himself in the midst of more excitement than he has had since the war. Alice Brady, by many screen en thusiasts voted the best dressed star in motion pictures, has ample op portunity to wear smart raiment in "Hush Money," which opens next Thursday at the Empress theater.
