Ill mf f A Paramount-Artcraft Picture Directed by D. W. Griffith. Story by Marion Fremont. Photographed by G. W. Bitzer. It is just a little human document that limns life in lasting shadows on the screen; that compellingly proves the power of simplicity; that just as com pellingly proves the little things to be the really big things in life, and that further proves the picture mightier than the pen as a form of expression or rather as a mirror reflecting life. That's What Gets Right Under the Skin IT'S REAL. One of the most pathetic bits ever screened are those passages showing the wife's hope that her husband has remembered their wedding anniver sary. And when she finds that what she supposed to be. a slight remem brance is nothing more than a hew necktie there is pathos indeed. Little bits like that run all the way through. TONIGHT All Week Mat.

The story is the stripping aside of the curtain that permits of looking into a little Har lem flat and seeing there the young husband, supercilious, vain, with an exaggerated idea of his own importance,: taking all of his young wife's slaving as his rightful due; treating her and the baby and his mother merely as his own personal belong ings. So logically and so true to life is this worked out that it gets you. The young husband becomes neglectful of the wife, spending his time with a flashy stenogra pher, while his wife drudges. The outcome of it is that Enid seeks outside company. Harry Silverman has the best orchestra in Omaha and will play during this showing FINGAL'S CAVE ------ -Mendelssohn NEW SHOW TODAY Sim.

UA U--M- a W Ml , He ; has , , chosen three characters, typical and definite in the domestic life of America, familiar to the resi dents in every small place, and most large ones. One is that of a lovable, loyal girl, who never has a chance to marry but one man, and whenthat V man passes her by, ages her soul with tears, and wearies her days with waiting. Another is a young man who goes to college, returns with' comical con ceit, the premier of swains, as serious to Jumself as,' the measles. And the third is a girl who considers marriage ' never a union of hearts, but a neces 'Sary .patronage, a wife of-subsidy i It I'. - n 1 . .- 'V.... rainer inan oi lpve. , . With these persons, Mr. Graham has arranged a story of wondrous charm, piquant in the delightful sub tleness off-character, delineation: ;a w'tiitffioJtM story of love and love denied. He devotes his doitp : perception of the , infinite varieties each heart, td these three young per-, sons, , each whetted by nature to realize? the fullness of life's experi ences, yet each held froni doing just what he or she should. Lillian Gish appears as the girl who waits, a repressed role which- " absorbs the full power of her acting, Robert Harron,4 as the boy who be comes a minister, will remind the world of some it knows, and give to it a chuckle never forgotten: Clarine Seymour is introduced as a merry young milliner from Chicago, v . : . : . : v-J i .IT:' '..Ml Thursday, Friday Saturday at at f J I TCI .
