You've lived, loved and prospered under the
glorious Stars and Stripes. Now that hu
manity! not Mr. Wilson, decrees that you
take up the sword in its defense, it's up to
you to do your part, no matter what the cost
This Is the Message of
Vitagraph' thrilling, throbbing ttory of the po
tible invasion of America by a foreign power.
If the United States Army and Navy deemed
this picture of enough importance to co-operate
in its production, it is certainly of enough im
portance for you to see.
If we can instill just a little more enthusiasm
not patriotism, as we know each and every
Omahan is willing to give his or her life's blood
for this glorious land of ours we shall be satisfied.

"Tho Butcher Boy," which reveals
"Fatty" in a particularly happy role.
.In this comedy appear At St. John, his
nephew, who has been Willi him -since he
mounted the first rung of the ladder of
fame, and a newcomer In filmland, "Buster"
Keton, one of the famous three' Keatons,
long favorites among vaudeville entertainer-
j You know that Fatty Is also one of the very

William Farnum has a fid. He Is an

Did yah notice how musical everything Is
this week in this aforementioned column?
"Thase's a Reason," we like to bear In iind
the fact that there will always be "bars" tn
music. ' Much more of this and we'll have t
'em In front of us.
AND we forgot to mention tha fact last
week that that there ball ground, com
monly called the , "Diamond," wa in fine
shape, thank to 'the attention given to It
by Finch, and that a "Fox-ier" crowd could
not be founl In the "World." And can you
think of any way to get the name "Monroe"
in without referring to "Scotch."
Imitation Is the alncerest form of flat
tery, so 'tis said. By the way, have you no
ticed our Filmland Favorites?
Max Llnder haa only been In this country
a little while and has gone on record as
having said that American women are the
handsomest in the world. Still, his second
picture Is called "Max Wants a Divorce"
and Is offered 3, 000,000 to get rid of hi
wife. Hard? It's almost impossible.
Oh, Joy I Dldya hear 'bout the latest In
vention? Well, you know those nice little
candy boxes they have on the back of the
chair lu the movie palaces? An Ingenious
inventor has conceived the idea of making
them Into musical bells, so that when pat
rjins sit idly twirling them on the back of
your seat the latest musical comedy hit
will peal forth melodiously and In that way
a great expense will be saved the manage
ment, ac they will then be enabled to dis
pense with the services of their musicians.
It is even thought that with the proper au
diences such selections as "The Sextette frorrr
Lucla," "Tha Anvil Chorus," "Yankee
Doodle" and other favorites may be ren
dered. J. Hi Calvert of Bluebird fame announces
that he is going to make , his nest In the
Bluebird apartments in Des Molnos for the
next tWo or three weeks. We don't see the
advantage of that, as Iowa passed a law
about a year ago. (This la called dry hu
mor.) '.
Oh, girls, isn't Douglas Fairbanks, the new
Artcraft star, just tha dearest thing? You
know what he said? Someone recently asked
him to select the type of woman who sym
bolized the Ameriran woman and he said:
"Really. I don't believe that I ha-ve ever
come In contact with any American woman
that did not in some way represent the ideal
type." But listen, girlies, he's married.
Ouch, some bad writer man lias printed
Margarita Fischer's name "Magpie Fisher"
and the lady says she ain't. Maggie is quite
familiar, but Margarita Is much more dis
tinctive, oh, yes. Said Margarita la out of
th hospital and Is feeling quite well again
and has borrowed an ax Vo carrle nation the
Maggie Man. This la an advance to erring
scribes.
We'don't care to say Just who it Is among
the film men in this city of ours, but a cer
tain party is now practicing to sing and the

they May. Hoo Aoes, lloo-hoo isoes
