PAULISTS WILL
GIVE LECTURES
AT CATHEDRAL
All Non-Catholics Invited to
Hear Exposition of Doc
trine of Catholic
Church.
Rev. Bcrtrtnd L. Conway and Rev,
John E. Burke of the Paulist Fa
ther of New York will eive free
lectures fof non-Catholics in St. Ce
cilia cathedral, Fortieth and' Burt
streets, dunne a two-week mission
tartine- Sundav. Tanuary 25.
All non-Catholics are invited to
attend.
The purpose of the lectures is to
explain the doctrine of the Catholic
church "to all who seek the truth
and to answer in a kindly manner
all their 'dflficulties."
A question box will be placed at
the cathedral door, and questions
placed in the box one evening will
be answered the following evening.
Not a Challenge. .
"To some non-Catholics," said Fa
ther Conway last night, "it may seem
that the Paulist Fathers are issuing
a challenge rather than an invita
tion. On the contrary, we deplore
any attempt to stir up animosity be
tween members of different churches.
We propose to set forth systemati
cally an exposure ana aerense ot
Catholic teaching. All Catholics
know that there are thousands of
fair-minded, intelligent non-Catholics
who are anxious to hear some
thing about the Catholic faith from
those who are her accredited repre
sentatives." i Order of the Lectures.
The following program has been
mapped out for the two weeks' re
treat:

"PHOTO PIY OFPERI NGJ FOR. TODAY'
1 1. LI AM FARNUM scores an
other success in "The Last ol
Duanes." a William Fox
production having its last showing
at the Moon theater today and
Thursday. In his portrayal of Buck
Duane, the hero of this stirring Tex
as border life tale, William Farnum
a seen at his verv best This time
the star portrays a man who through
rfo fault of his own is forced to kill
and flee, to herd with outlaws rnnid
stirring situations until the falseness
of his position is impressed on the
governor by the girl he loves who
finally wins him a pardon and happiness.
Strand The big double bill on the
screen at the Mrand theater is
crowding this house to its capacity,
and why not. Fatty Arbuckie in
"The Garage" keeps one in a de-
iightful humor throughout its scteen-
ing. and Jack Pickford in "'In
Wrong," keeps the house in an up
roar. Either of these two comedians
make suffcient entertainment for an
evening, but when you are privileged
to see the two ot them on the same
screen in one "night, you can rest
assured of having one big night of
pleasure.
Sun A trip to the snow-covered
heights of the Tyrolean Alps awaits
the movie fan at the Sun theater,
where "Blind Husbands" is being
shown this week. I he story deals
with a famous American surgeon
and his beautiful wife. Professional
cares make the scientist preoccupied
and apparently indifferent to his
wife s heart happiness.
On :insurpassed, awe - inspiring
scenery, vigorous dramatic action
and the very uniqueness of the dar-
ne clot Klind Husbands, makes
its bid for the plaudits of the picture
loving multitudes.
Rialto Remarkable scenic effects
have been secured in the Paramount
Artcraft picture, "Everywoman,"
which is showing at the Rialto
theater this week with Violet Hem-
mg in the title role. One of the
most spectacular is the banauet hall
of wealth, the part played by Theo-

of a dollar mark. One circle of the
"S" contains a swimming pool, while
the other is occupied by a dance
floor. On these two stages beauti
ful girls in the most remarkable cos
tumes of ultra-modern mode disport.
For the big theater sceenes in which
Everywoman makes her debut, a
chorus of extremely pretty girls in
unique costumes was employed. The
stage was literally covered with real
flowers, which gives an idea of the
extravagant scale upon which the
spectacle was filmed.
Muse Tom Mix, the inimitable, is
to be here again with new thrills, ad
ventures, fun and romance in "The
Speed Maniac." It opens a two
day run at the Muse today. "The
Speed Maniac" is a story of western
lite, embodying, according to ad
vance reports, a big auto race classic,
a boxing match in which Mix cham
.pions the weak and baffles the wrong;
some daring rides on the famous
horse Tony, and other "stunts" that
show Mix a past master of his craft
which includes handling a charm
ing love theme.
Empress Today affords the last
chancev to see William Russell in
"The Lincoln Highwayman," by
Paul Dickey, at the Empress theater.
The garage which Jimmy Clunder,
the hero, acquires was specially built
on the Lincoln Highway. Many high
class motor cars lend a touch of
luxury to the picture. The plot runs
through many exciting incidents.

Woman Awakened
By Man's Cold Hand
Against Her Face
Mrs. Anna Boyshou, 3115 PinkW
street, was awakened about 10 last
night by a man's cold hand, thrust
against her face. When she screamed
the intruder grappled with her, but
she eluded him and escaped from
the house in her night clothing.
The woman and her 11-year-old
daughter, Freda were alone in the
house. They had left the front door
unlocked for an older daughter, an
employe of the Western Union, who
was attending a lodge meeting.
Mrs. Boyshou said that the man
commanded her to "lie still," when
she woke, but that she jumped out
of bed and ran through the front
door, which he had left standing
ajar. She went to the house of a
neighbor and called police.
Freda, the younger daughter, was
awakened by her mother's screams
and also fled from the house in her
night dress. When the police ar
rived the intruder had disappeared.
Nothing was missing from the
house.

Detectives are investigating the
finding of a stick of dynamite under

there by a rioter on the night of the
lynching of Will Brown, negro, Sep
tember 28, when it was intended to
be used to wreck the courthouse, if
necessary. Jones turned the explo
sive over to the detective department

How circus riders are made is
illustrated at the Orpheiim this week
in one of the most hilarious acts of
the bill. The offering starts with a
real circus performance, with agile
riders and four horses. When this
part of the offering is over recruits

MUSI C
AN audience of gratifying pro
portions greeted the fourth an
nual Piano and Violin Sonata
Evening by Edith Louise Wagoner
and Louise Shadduck Zabrtskie
Tuesday evening, when these two
well known local disciples of art
were presented at the Y. W. ,C. A.
auditorium under the auspices of the
Business Women's club.
Disciples of art is what they really
are, for a sonata recital in its very
nature is not the kind of recital
Which appeals to all tastes. Its ap
peal is to the true music lover and
the attention and cordiality of the
listeners last evening was not only
a tribute to the musicians, but a sig
nificant reflection of their own good
musical taste.
The recital last evening was given
with the usual musicianship and fin
ish which marks the recitals of these
two artists. Mrs. Zabriskie's tone
was clear and resonant and Mrs.
Wagoner's work at the piano was
well balanced, carefully phrasedand
logically presented, while the work
of each was marked with the many
niceties which make solo playing a
delight.
The three sonatas chosen for the
program offered the widest extremes
of variety and content. The sonata
in F major, by Mozart was charac
teristic of this fastidious composer.
The melodic charm, grace of phrase
and faultless form were all present
and piano and violin took turns in
presenting the themes and the dif
ferent bits of melody in the devel
opment An Andante theme, and
variations was most attractive and a
dignified "Minuetto" closed the
number,.
It wrs a far cry from Mozart and
the eigheerfth century to John Al
den Carpenter of Chicago and the
twentieth century.
In a few remarks Mrs.. Wagoner'
aptly said that the musical compo
sitions of a time reflect the life of
that oeriod. and that this soiibta
has many typical characteristics of
the present day. .
This sonata is written in a very
modest style, with much dissonance
and vanety of rhythm, yet it proved
to be a bier vital work in tour move
ments, with a great variety of tcne
color, strong thematic material ?nd
broad sweeping climaxes. ,
The second movement. Allegro,
and the big brilliant Presto Gio-oso,
the closing movement, were espe
cially interesting. This sonata was
played with a careful regard for the
cumulative climaxes and the strong
rhythmic effects.
Th$ always charming Grieg Son
ata in F major closed the pro
gram. . In.this each artist was es
pecially happy, and the many bit of
dialaguc between the two ' instru
ments were played with an ease and
freedom which made the various
movements, noticeably the Allegro
Molto Vivace, constantly enjoyable.
An immensely fine ensemble
marked the entire program.
The artists were the recipients ot
many beautiful flowers, and were
recalled several times at the close ot
the progiam. H. M. R

Once flown and when time's hand shall trace
Upon the cameo clearness of thy face
Shadows of evil e'en the constancy
Of those who love thee truly, cannot stand
Against the loss of all that gave thee grace. ,
Pause, Everywoman, on the brink of tragedy ;
Place in thy trust in truth whose charity
Shall lead thee through the labyrinth unto love,
Ending the quest at last, and in the sacred grove
Where happiness and hope majestically move
To the soft and dulcet cooing of the dove
Thy heart shall find its own in rhapsody
Akin to the soft music of the spheres
Thru all the coming years.
