FAMOUS FACES
' - '. i. .
ON SCREEN OFTODAY
. The facet of the world's celeb
ties ire fast becoming familiar an
the average newspaper reader and
the playgoer. Many ,of them, how
ever, bp ativ ltnn tU,. .vt:.:4

many refuse to allow the weeklies
the privilege of showing them at
th(ir rnl vrnrlr . .
. With the production of "The Girf
who Stayed at Horne," which will
be shown at the Rialto theater this
week, starting Wednesday, Mr. Grif
fith shows us some of our own cel
ebrities not familiar, either to the
newspaper reader or to the play
soer. For instance. Provoat Mar.
shal General E. H. Crowder, whose
name is known at leaat to everyone
... wno was m the draft age. will be
seen in this picture at his own desk
tn his of tice tn Washington, a pic
ture never released to any news
agency or paper, but posed for the
Griffith camera that the correct de
tail might be given the film. Others
to be shown are Secretary of War
tfaker and uenerai March, both in
- their own offices at work.
--v Omaha, children are to be given
an opportunity to see Mary Pickford
' in "Daddy Longlegs at reduced
prices next Saturday when - the
Strand 'will give a special morning
show at 9:00 a. m., for the children
only. ,;':'J .--; ' ' "
"It is a play that appeals strongly
to the young folks," said H. B.
' Watts, manager of the Strand, "and
we want to give them ail an oppor
tunity to see It. " We will put it 'on
,.with full music and effects and make
the charge only a dime in place of
our. usual prices."
Peggy Hyland is appearing in a
story about snobs in "Cowardice
Court" at the Sun the first part of
.'this week. ' -v " ' ''
( I like snobs," says Peggy. "They
: are one harmless species of reptile.
; Some folks, I know, abhor them, but
. the snobs are not to be blamed for
that. In fact, as Thackeray has re
minded us, criticizing a snob may
be one way of confessing snobbish
' ness. Snobs are a good deal- like
the froth on beer not to be taken
seriously. To complain of them or
, to deride them is to confess subnor
mal development of the " bump of
humor." :"';:y'i''r"" '.,

From the start her rise was rapid.--
i A colored extra . was used in
a cominar Enid Bennett picture, di
rected by Fred Niblo. ,, The colored
gentleman 'expressed a oesire to see
himself on the screen, and was told
he would be invited to "the studio

Sua "Cowardlo Court." a George
Barr McCutcheoa novel, which attained
th popularity of the beat seller, 1 the
basis of a photoplay, starring Peggy Hy
land, which will be shown at the Sun,
today, Monday and Vuesday. The story
concerns a young English girl and a
young American who fall In love aa a re
cult of a quarrel over the dividing line
of property la the Adirondack.
The picture, like tn book. la said
to develop humorously the form xt snob
bery peculiar to certain sets of rich so
ciety folks who have nothing to do ex
cept to try- to amuse themselves. Thta,
however. 1 only Incidental, to tho love
story which constitute tho them and
around which I built a very Interesting
plot. There ar aald to be numerous
highly dramatic incidents growing out
of the property fight.

the police system a human system in
stead of an automatic machine which
merely keeps books. "My Little Sister."

that result.
The heroins, an innocent vounr cirl.-
la lured with her sister into a house of
Ill-fame. and. although sl.e escape, the
pollc cannot be stirred Into action for
the rescue of the sister because they
ar hampered by the rulea and regulationa
If nothing worse. So this airl la loat for
ever to the world. .J -;
Evelyn Nesblt gives a vivid portrayal
of the beautiful girl who I caught In tho
net of the whit slavers, and .later atrlvea
In vain to save her sister. It is a heart-
gripping atory, as pitiful aa' It la true.
The ' Great Romance." tho
screen classic. In which the celebrated
star, Harold Lockwood, is aeen in tho lead
ing role, cornea to the Empress today for
th first half -of th week, it is a story
of the type in which Harold Lockwood
excelled, and in It he -plays the part uf
an enthusiastic young American who
finds that he la heir to the throne of a
mall European principality. --- He has
been brought up In - democratic America,
and decides that he will make hi king
dom Into the happiest democracy - on
earth. : Hr becomes the Idol of hi people,
after many exciting adventures with ene
mies of his country. A charming and
'fascinating love atory la depicted. "In
Search of Arcady." starring tho mirthful
Billle Rhodes, will be the .photoplay at
traction for th last half of the week.'' It
ia a screen adaptation of the story of the
ha me liame by the popular writer of fic
tion Nina Wilcox Putnam. Miss Rhodes
play Barbara Chichester, the pretty
daughter of an American millionaire. She
detests any man with a title, goea a Gyp
aying and unwittingly falls in love with a
real English sari who la "traveling" as a
peddler.
Boyd "Auction of Soulr," to be pre
aented at the Boyd theater this week,, la
a record of fact. It picture the atory of
Aurora Mardlgp.nlan, - solo survivor of
600,003 young Armenian girls who were
killed during th period of terror creet-d
by the Turks In 191s when It was decided
to deport the Armenian and annihilate
them as a nation.
The picture ia baaed upon Miss Mar
dlganlan'a own story of her amaslng -cap
after two year of terror. Every
accusation of barbarism she charcea
against the Turks Is officially verified by
Viscount James Bryce former British am
bassador to tho United States, who headed
a commission which waa aent Into Ar
menia to report th facta, and by Henry
Morgenthau, American ambassador to
Turkey In 1116.
While the interest cantor around th
experiences of th cole, surviving Armen
ian girl, international characters are fig
urea On of th pictured event shows
a meeting between the sultan of Turkey,
a weak old man, Enver Pasha, who later
became .the cruel military dictator, tho
German ambassador, and Henry .Morgen
thau, the American ambassador. At thia
meeting Mr. Morgenthau mad a laat vain
plea for the Armenlana.
There follow the actual' scene showing
th posting of the deportation edict, the
burning of th homes of Armenian,
slaughter of men in the streets, the form
ing of the long line of men and women
to be driven across - the- desert, attacks
upon girls, and finally the terrible cruel
ties which wer Inflicted by th wild tribes
who captured and enslaved th women

Biaadela A weakling, a pitiful , pawn
of circumstance. Is Charley Holt, the
spoiled scion of small-town aristocracy,
who in a fit of bravado marries Oudrun
Trygavson, a hired girl. In the veins of
the girl flows the proud blood of a line
of Vikings, i yet she Is considered but a
menial, beneath the recognition of Mul
Ilnsdale'a "best families.' For the ostra
cism to Which he Is subjected, Charley
Holt brutally blamea Gudrun. He sinks
from one degradation to another, until
one night ha la -killed in a drunken
brawl, ,
The dawn brings to ' Gudrun a new
realization of responsibility she must
face the world and support herself and
child. Bravely she takes in washing and
with her meager savings makes payment
on a small farm, and far out in God's
clean country a new Oudrun ia born.
A bird of passage a man who thought
he had made hi fight and lost a bum
such Is Martin O'Neill yet through the
sweetness and beauty of the soul of
Oudrun is rekindled the man's hope and
atrength and he again makes his fight.
These are the themes about which "Th.
Unpalnted Woman" Is built. The plctuio
Is full of heart throbbing interest, and Is
beyond a doubt the best in which Mary
McLaren has yet appeared. It will be
seen at the Brandela theater for three
day starting Thursday, June II.
