I A common declaration has been that

It's a story of the "North and the Royal!

thrills in every foot of the picture. The
big climax comes at the finish in
which John Keith cleans up thoppium

. One of the most delightful little
stars of the screen, Shirley Mason, I
will be seen at the Utah theatre to
day in her latest Fox production,
"Molly and I." - In her last picture,
"Her Elephant Man," Miss Mason I
had tho part ota little circus girl.
In "Molly and 1" she is an ordinary
little stenographer, who impersonates
a typical little French maiden to
win her way into the heart of the
man she loves. J
Shirley Brown, or "Molly" as she
Is nicknamed, is to inherit $10,000
on the day she is married. She meets
and falls In love with Philip Smith,
an author, who is totally blind and
penniless. She persuades him to
marry her, for she says, "she has
been waiting forty years for a hus
band!. In reality she wishes to send
him to ' Italy where he may regain
his health.
"When ho returns with his' sight,
"Molly" begins to make hor husband
fall in love with her. "She-, imperson
ates an Alsatian orphan, and finds
employment in his apartment She
makes bolievo she can neither speak
nor understand English and there is
no end of the complications that en
sue. There is another woman, of
course, who also loves the young au
thor, but "Molly" finally wins his
heart, and after a misunderstanding
that threatens to separate the two,
the husband and wife are united.
WIGS PRAISE
THE FEAR MARKET'
"The Fear Market" a Realart Pro
duction, which is to be presented at
tho Alhambra theatre for a 3-day run
engagement beginning today, "is a
photoplay attraction which critics who
have followed tho development of the
silver sheet as a medium for the pre
sentation of really big dramatic ideas
have declared ranks among the fore
most of film dramas.
Alice Brady, the film fans' favorite
in the part of Sylvia Stone is called
upon to portray the gamut of human
emotions and does so with a tensity
that is most convincing and a subtlety
which causes the calloused critics to
speak of her work a"s ranking with the
best ever seen on tho screen. v
In no sense is "Tho Fear Market"
a preachment It is an absorbing tale
of pathos and love which tugs at the
heart strings and keeps the spectator
entranced frqm start to finish.
The story Is by Princess Troubetz
koy, and when "The Fear Market"
made its appearance iri print created a
sensation wherever English is read. It
was apparent that the authoress based
her story on an expose which filled
the front pages of the press the world
I over.

ALICE BRADY SAVED
Bf HE "EVIL EYE"
In "The Fear Market," a Realart
picture starring Alice Brady, the "Evil
Eye" protects the heroine from being
assaulted by tho man who professes to
love her.
Not a little has been written on sup
erstition and the part it plays Jn hu
man lives. It is an historic fact that
on account of a hen and a rooster a
kingdom was lost. The different races
have thoir pot superstitions. The fear
of the number 13 is common with us. i
Tho Evil Eye is the dread superstition
of the Italian. Sickness, failure in
business, love, or domestic affairs is
laid to the "Evil Eye." One possessed
with tho evil eye is avoided, spurned,
spat at and in passing such uppers on a
prayer is said or a sign made to break
the spell. S ,
In "The Fear Market," which will be
seen at the Alhambra theatre, starting
today. Alice Brady appearing as Syl
via Stone, is ardently wooed by an
Italian tenor, Ettare Forni, who in
duces her to elope with him. Taking
her to a tavern In a nearby town, Forni
tries -to induce Sylvia to partako of
some wine and when they will be mar
ried, is told that marriage was a cage
and love a bird that will die when
placed in bondage, Sylvia recognizes
that Forui's intention is not honorable
and attempts to leave the room. For
ni whose passions are aroused, bars
the way and makes a grab for her,
when Sylvia informs him that she pos
esses the "Evil Eye." Fear creeps into
his heart; he makes the "sign of tho
horns" to break the spell, opens the
door and permits Sylvia to pass.
But what are Miss Brady's super
stitions? Her pet superstition is not
to be superstitious.
There is no more potency to number
thirteen, Miss Brady believes, than
there is to five or eighteen and she
is in favor of starting a society lor
the emancipation of this much ma
ligned numeral. She points to the fact
that before the advent of the High
Cost of Living folks were glad enough
to get the well known "Bakers'Dozen"
thirteen, Instead of the round hard do
en now offered.
More than one director has torn his
hair becauso some temperamental star
has refused to do tlils or that because
she, just knew that something dread
ful would happen If she did. Not so
with Miss Brady. Should the scenario
call for her to break a mirror, smash
goes the glass. If the director deems
it necessary for the sake of the picture
that she place a pair of shoes on a
tablo that's all there is to It Miss
Brady puts them on. Walking under
ladders, spilling salt, putting up an
umbrella in the house, whistling in the
dressing room, singing before break
fast and every other superstition
known to stage folks means nothing
to Miss Brady, who believes that sup
erstition is the child of ignorance.

Over Fifty Vanloads of Fur
niture . Moved From Amer
ongen Home
BY ZOJE BECKTEY
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent.
DOORN, Holland, May 22. Hon
Wllhclm Hohonzollern has been mov
ing for weeks now and ho is at lasw
finished. ' '
A couple of wagons, with maybe
mother carrying 1 the cat and parrot
and sistor the "parlor clock, sees trie
average family out ' of ' the old place
into the now. -
But consider the onco "All High-
est!"
Between 50 and CO huge van loads
have ' arrived at Doom House, not
counting two frank and -unconcealed
open trucks laden with stock for the
wine cellar.
A big maroon auto-van raced back
and forth several times daily besides,
sometimes to Amerongen, sometimes
to Arnheim or Utrecht, bringing good
ness knows what.
Still when one has a dozen castto
fuls of stuff to weed out and son
over, it is a problem to know what
to leave behind.
Filled Willi Furniture.
A big, old, concrete barn being piled
with gilt-and-brocado furnlturo and
huge amorphous bundles done in bur
lap, evidently bibelots and curloa.
Workmen, Indeed, are all over the
place remodoling the main doorway,
draining tne ancient moai .wnicn nu.a
been a mosquito-breeding place, erect
ing artificial hillocks planted with
rhododendrons wherever too clear a
view of the mansion is had from the
highway, doing a hundred and ono
things toward the comfort and adorn
ment of the estate.
For consider also In the moving
troubles of the ex-kaiser that this is
probably his final move.
Whether ho likes Doom House or
not, whether the ghost of the girl who
drowned herself in the moat years ago
elects to visit him, whether the cli
mate proves unsatisfactory or sight
seers too numerous, at Doom House
he must live, and likely die.

to the cast. Whereas Amerongen is
dull and grubby, with one street, o:iu
church and one inn, Doom Is several
times a3 large and is a village of neat
villas and fine homes.
Doom's curving main street, clean
as a whistle. ha3 a brick-paved road
way flanked by big trees and little
shops.
Thero are two hotels and three
churches, but no railroads. Doom's
rail connection is maintained by a
"stoom-tram" (two passenger coaches
drawn by a steam engine), which
grunts and clangs and puffs and wob
bles its way through tho village sev
eral times' each day between Drleber
gen and Arnheim.
From Saturday noon to Sunday
night Doom Is at Its gayest, which
isn't terribly gay. Then the Inns wake
up. Bicycles, automobiles and mo
torcycles come up. Fattish Dutch la
dies emerge with very pink faces and
hats too high on their heads, The
sit about, sipping and ohatting. but
never of Mr. and Mrs. Bx-Kalser.
Dutch Don't Even Notice Him.
Tho tables were .quite full today
when Hcrr Hohonzollern, returning to
Doom House, cut round the hotel
porch in his olive green car with his
chin-strapped' chauffeur.
No one so much as glanced up!
In America tho olive car would have
been trailed by a hundred newspaper
men and panting cameramen.
I was the only one who starod,
and the two guards on bicycles, riding
behind tho olivo car, stared back for
biddingly. The day I surprised him at the srate
of. his new place,. tho surprise and the
consciousness of being looked at, left
- " j
j a certain sprightlincss. to the faiion
monarch's bearing. Today, unaware
of any eye upon him, ho made me
think of an old, faded-gray wolf I
onco saw behind the bars of a red-and-gold
circus wagon.
His new place at Doom has CO hec
tares of ground and more than f0
rooms. It has a private ohapel n
tho place. It dates from the twelfth
century. He bought it from the wid
owed Baroness van Hcemstra. for 500,
000 gulden that's ?200,000 ar d he
has astounded, his Dutch workmen by
putting baths in tho house and build
ing servants' quarters, also with
j baths!
j It is costing a fabulous sum to en-
IMM' Jii i
large and remodol tho place. Wllhclm .
is having a hard struggle to ensure j
privacy. The "church path" has ex
isted for hundreds of years, and Is - J
now tho public acknowledged right. ,!
One road flanks anend of the prop- W
erty has likewise become "common."
And ho has had to build a. bicycl
path for Dotrnites on a certain pare
of a road upofc which his fence slight.-'
ly encroached.
Also, he will be literally a prisoner
on his own land, for he- daro go no-
where without uermission from tho
government. He is a man without a
country, in Holland only on suffcr
' ance.
