COLISEUM'S SHOW TONIGHT STARTS WITH A WEDDING Croat opportunities tor emotional ] \yark are Riven Mary Miles Mints: in “Wives and Other Wives." tn*. j American Film Company featuie shown tonight only at the Coliseum ! Theatre. Her many admirers are accustomed to see her ns the “child I actress,” or at least the short skirted 1 girl just in her 'teens. In this pie (lire she is a matron in the very i.e ginning, this picture beginning where most pictures end —at the time of the marriage. it is a play full of laughter—not without pathos, however. Much love, a little jealousy, a little robbery, much villainy, mixed with plenty of perplexity and oodles | of excitement are the ingredients : givep to tho able actors who sup port Miss Mintcr in this delightful i play. HENRY B. WALTHALL STARS | IN BIG WESTERN FEATURE During the years that Henry I! Walthall has been one of the most popular stars in the realm of the ; silent drama, he has. appeared in a ! great variety of types, from the '“Little Colonel." in “The Birth of a Mation,” to a .Judge of the Supreme Court in the State of New York, in “His Rohe of Honor.” Cnti! the making of “With Hoops of Steel,” at the Palace Saturday and Sunday matinee, Walthall had never ap peared in the role of a cowboy not i desiring to appear in any story, the j basis of which was overdrawn to any extent from the basis of life I us 1! really is lived. In “With Hoops yf Steel,” however, Mr. Walthall has! I found a story that is said to de - pict the life of the cattlo ranges of Texas in a true and graphic manner ! In the role of Emerson Meade, he j j portrays the character of a man a; the head of the independent cattle! owners, who have been opposed by j the high-handed methods of a large; | cattle syndicate. He is accused of ! murder by the syndicate and is cap- j j (tired after a series of thrilling in-1 jcidents. Circumstantial evidence is so strongly against him that convle : ; tion seems certain. Then there I comes that twist in the story when gunplay, law and prejudice are swept |away by the vindication of the man 1 through love. _ MARY PICKFORD STARS AT COLISEUM SUNDAY In viewing Mary Pickford's “Polly-1 anna." which is the attraction to he presented at the Coliseum Theatre Sunday and Monday. children will he charmed with the playful humor in sw ift contrast with delicate notes i of pathos. Mature minds will dis-i cover in its theme a suggestion from their own life-quest of happiness—1 that sweetness of personality is the1 golden rule of personal conduct. Ue-j cause of Mary’s truthful interpreta-' tion of this tender motif, “Pollyan-j na.“ as pictured, is bound to far! outreach the influence of “Pollyan-! na.” as printed. It will also be much i more extensively enjoyed as a story . It is that much more important as a medium of extending a simple philosophy of happiness. Miss Pickford’s role is one of I tie nuxst difficult because of its bare simplicity. It is merely that of a very young girl radient with the beautiful glamor of pure childhood. Yet it appears on the screen but a, few moments before she arouses j deep heart interest. It is bcause of! her keen sensibilities that “Little Mary" is able to convey all the shades of emotional impulse and the swift flying thoughts passing through j her mind. She is disconcertingly affectionate when, coming in out of the rain, and, soaked to the skin, she leaps into her aunt’s arms and makes a mess of a handsome silk | dress She disarms anger among the grown-ups at one moment by her amusing awkwardness, at another by llio very innocence of lu-r exuberant: joy. Slit- nourishes a dream of mak ing everybody glad, and her philos-i ophy radiates among the weak, thej sick, tlie halt and the blind, by] both example and contagion. When; misfortune lays a cruel and crippling j hand on her and she is tense with I the anguish of a spiritual struggle,! nothing could be more exquisitely! portrayed than her attempt to maskj her sufferings than by forcing a faint, quivering smile. Her mastery; ot the role is an inspiration.

NATIONAL FISH DAY PROMOTES USE OF FISH Local restaurant men are still dis cussing the remarkable effect of Na tional Fish Day on tile consumption oE fish in this city. One restaurant tnan said that Tie had ordered five! times as much fish for that day as! he usually orders, and four or five times during the day he was forced! to send in hurry orders for more fish. Restaurant men say that not only was the consumption of fish many times larger on National Fish Day than usual, hut that more people' are still ordering more fish than for merly ordered j'. They believe that the cause is that many people or dered fish on National Fish Day and discovered that they liked it better than they had supposed, and so they are contracting the halji* of! eating fish.
