Mrs. Wilkins War Bread 2 parts white flour AT THE THEATERS Douglas Fairbanks in His Latest Success, "Reaching For The Moon" "Reaching for the Moon" this Is the latest as offered by Douglas Fair banks, the prize winner of the screen drama and the one whose perform ances before the camera have done more toward making an evening at the theater "the end of perfect day" than any other person whose aim in this life is to provide entertainment for the public. You may make one exception Charlie Chaplin but Charlie is in another line of comedy, usually referred to as slapstick. Doug never resorts to the slapstick. He deals straight from the shoulder and with very few exception delivers the knock-out with every punch. He will be seen on the screen of the Maui theaters next week in his latest, "Reaching for the Moon," written by Anita Loos in collaboration with John Emerson and produced for Artcraft Pictures under the direction of Mr. Emerson. In the supporting cast are Richard Cummings, Millard Webb, Eugene Ormonde, Frank Campeau and Eileen Percy, the charming fem inine character who has been seen opposite Mr. Fairbanks in most of his Artcraft pictures. Doug imper sonates Alexis Caesar Napoleon Brown, chief clerk in a button factory, who is thoroughly convinced that he is wasting his time in such menial business when he can rule as king. His best listener is Elsie who believes in the powers of concentration, but who devotes her concent rative en ergies to more plausible and practi cal ends than Alexis Caesar. Alexis Caesar Is discharged in order that he may carry out his plan of revolution izing the affairs of state, and takes an extended trip to Bulgaria where he is crowned king. He wakes from all this of a sudden and finds himself on the floor of his room. He hurries to the office and gets his job back, sees Elsie and they concentrate and decide that it is cheaper to live in Jersey than New York. gjjouGLAS Fairbanks W TUPeaclimfrfortlieMoon' i I AN AUICWAfT plCTUBC 1 1 part rolled oats Make as any other bread.

Sheriff's Bride Leads Posse To Save Husband An Eastern girl, bride of the sher iff of Wolfville, forms an attachment for the new postmaster, a polished, dapper Easterner, and in his distress at not being able to hold the affection of his wife, the brave sheriff deliber ately seeks death that she may be free to wed the postmaster. He passes the lie to a gambler and refuses to draw his gun, but friends detecting his purpose prevent a kill ing. Then single-handed he engages an outlaw leader and falls over a cliff to seeming certain death as the posse he is leading is routed. Filled with remorse and her latent love for the brave officer fully awak ened when the remnants of the posse returns with word of his death and that ho died to free her, the girl up braids the men for fleeing and leaas them back into the fight. The out laws this time are defeated und Dead Shot Baker, her sheriff husband, is found wounded in a cabin at the foot of the cliff holding off an attacking party. She nurses him back to life and happiness. "Dead Shot Baker," the Greater Vitagraph Blue Ribbon Feature, which will be the attraction in the Wailuku Orpheum theater on Sunday, is an adaption of the famous Wolfville Tale by that name and ia the first of a series of such picturizations by Vit agraph. The picture lose none of their Western realism by screening and are giving by Vitagraph screen favorities who have made their repu tations in pictures of rugged, wild Western life. "The Rise Of Jennie Cushing" Following her sensational motion picture debut in "Barbary Sheep," Elsie Ferguson, the most talented beauty of the spoken drama, again appears on the screen in a famous storv bv a Drominent author. "The 'Rise of Jennie Cushing" by Mary S. Watts, author of "Nathan Burke," "Van Clove" and many other well known works, is Miss Ferguson's second motion picture vehicle under the Artcraft banner. As Jennie Cushing, a street waif who is thrown upon her own resources early in life. Miss Ferguson presents u direct contrast to her appearance in her previous film characterization and displays a remarkable picturiza tion even for the artistic Ferguson. The story is one of deep heart in fivst, developing int.o a stirring romance that will linger long in the memory of everyone who see It. Staged under the direction of that French producing genius, Maurice Tourneur, who also produced "Bar bary Sheep," Miss Ferguson's newest cinema offers another photodrama of modern technique, a film that will accent the marked advance in the photoplay of to-day over the motion picture of yesterday. Never either on the stage or screen has Miss Ferguson been accorded a greater chance to disclose her wond erful artistry and never before has she responded more effectively to a geat opportunity. Supported by an exceptional cast nnd produced by a master-director, this newest adapta tion of a popular book should estab lish a new standard for the highest in moiion picture quality. Dorothy Dalton Is Fascinating Widow In New Triangle Play The latest Triangle play, "Wild Winship's Widow," by John T.ynch, in which Thomas H. Ince will pres ent Dorothy Dalton as star, is a ; comedy of manners and of good i clothes. The story is enacted in a fashionable southern resort where n few old mansions of the first families of Virginia stand in the background and lend dignity and tone to the func tions at the great hotel of the place. Miss Dalton's part is that of a young and beautiful widow, who has I placed the memory of an unworthy i spouse upon u pedestal, made an idol oi it and extracted an immense amount of enjoyment out of her misery. Hut she discovers her mis take and becomes almost reckless in her attempts to prove that she is still young and attractive eno'igh to get p ;:l zest out of lite and to .in the admiration of the masculine sex. The result is that she gets more devotion than she really cares for and has to resort to certain very feminine wiles in i Atic.iie herself I'rem the demands of her suitors.- -Advt.
