I.ARA K1MRAT.T. YOIIVr,
I who appears this week at the J
'." Rialto in her latest photoplay,!

longs to every war work society
that slie has been able to enter. She
j is knwn as "L'ncle Sam's Pal"
-. ; iround the studio. t
1 One of her projects is the Clara
- Kimball Young Unit for the "Militia
' of Mercy" which-provides all the
boys who were connected with the
' studio with sweaters, socks and all
' manner of knitted things, Jdiss
-; 'oung supplying the wool for the
girls who do the work. And she's
the most willing buyer of Candy and
cigarettes for a troop .marching by
2 that the world knows, in addition to
y being good Samaritan to a number of
,' boys iir. the trenches who have no
" friends to send them personal
"? things.
As fairy godmother of the Cali- j
J fornja United States Armed Guard,
she is fairly usy whenever in the
$ west and she's a live and enthusiastic
member of the Smoke Fund com
mittee fpr the army. And as a
5; Liberty bond salesman Miss Young
has proven that whenever she
visiles to give up the film business
she could make a living selling al
niost anything that' had a price on it.
The Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. and
. the Knights 'of Columbus and other
rrganizations have all found that
Miss YouTlg is more than readyto i
' i.' do "her bit" and that cenerallv '
means substantial aid.

Bert Lytell, star of "Unexpected
Z Places," to be shown at the Empress
the first half ,of the week, has only
p recently left the spcakfftg stage for
zl the silent drama where he appeared
iiv one production, ".The , Lone
Wolf," before signing up a long S
X term contract with Metro in whose J
productions nc win nov appear
clusively. His first picture with this
" company was "The Trail to Yester-
day," and he- has -followed -it with
"No Man's Laiid," attd "Boston
25 Blackie's Little Pal "-both clever and
dramatic plays ,whicli have brought
. "w him added fame.
Mr. LyteH comes of a talented
' theatrical family and is a'i artist by
inheritance as well as by education,
he is considered one of the most
J Kifted of the'youngcr generation of
m American actors. His father and
X 'mother were both noted players,
'M ' and his grandfather, J. K. Mortimer,
X was, fof years, one 'of Augustin
Daly's most brilliant stars. Mr.
Lytell's latest, Bfoadway success, bc-
fore he renounced the stage for the
Jj screen, was "Mary's Angle," in
which he was co-sta.rred with Irene
Fenwick. Hj devoting' himself en
5 tirely to motion pictures" this clever
and popular actor finds that lie has
. more scope for his artistic talents
. than on the speaking stage and con-
. siders the work .more interesting as
3 the developments in this' art are
2 rapid and far-reaching.

in the conclusipn that, the gap bc

2 jparatively short one, after all. True,
the stick that jth'e-cannibals in the
3 cinema affect is- not pleasing, but
2 one may get just as 'callous'to it as
" to high waist-lines or riplet skirts

J interesting. in not only being a mir

Corene will appear first in "Wilson

rurse.
A special reel taken overseas,
showing the surrender of the im
perial government high seas fleet,
is on the way to Omaha from New
York and will arrive here in time to
be shown somewhere in Omaha
i during this week. In the film are
; shown scenes of King George, Ad
; miral Beatty of the British navy,
Admiral Sims of the American navy
and other allied officers receiving
the surrender at the hands of tlje
German natal officers.
Wallace Reid in . "Too Many Mil
lions" comes to the Strand Decem
ber 29. This is Gardner Hunting's
screen version of Porter Emerson
Browne's novel, "Someone and
i omebody," a story cleverly ridicul-
ing the idle rich, and depicts a sane
way of meeting the social conditions
i of the day. There is plenty of ac
tion, many amusing situations and
pathos and romance.
"Arizona" will be Douglas Fair
banks' next picture appearing at the
Strand on Christmas day. This is
taken from the play by Augustus
Thomas, which was one of the big
gest hits the stage ever had. In this
i roduction Fairbanks, altliWigh
sticking to the main theme, has gone
the limits to inject into it addi
tional stunts which will make this
his jnasterpiece for pep. There's a
light on tin's production that beats
iiiything he ever did, and that's go
ing some. From start to finish it's
a world beater.

been surpassed fon this kind of I

from the pen of Cecil Raleigh and
Seymour I licks, English play
