clarify itself as it is too low to flow
over the waterfall.

THEATRES
At the Strand
For those who delight In a tense
dramatic story, for those who love
a good fight, for those who appreci
ate filial affection, and for all others
who like strong, clean entertainment
a treat Is being offered by the Strand
theatre In the showing of "Scrap
Iron," starring Charles Ray. It Is a
First National attraction and will re
main at the Strand (or two more
days.
Ray has done aome of the most
amusing stories that have ever been
shown on the screen. In "Scrap
Iron," however, he goes farther In
portraying a role which abounds
with strong pathos and tense emo
tional work. His performance of
the role of John Steel Is perfect, and
between the dramatic situations
there Is enough of his peculiar droll
humor to satisfy even the most ard
ent Rav enthusiast.
The John Steel part furnishes him
with a role different from any he
has ever enacted. An invalid mother
is the person about whom his whole
existence revolves. Unwittingly ehe
earns him the scorn of his fellow
workers when she wins from him a
promise never to fight. The keeping
of the promise also costs him his
girl. Then he loses hLs Job.
His fists are the only things left
to him of value and he breaks his
promise to the extent of engaging In
one of the most thrilling fights that
has ever taken place before the
camera. It isn’t the usual fight of
the movies, for Ray takes a licking.
He feela that he can’t afford to do
anything except protect himself un
til the money so badly needed by his
mother is earned. After that—but
It would be spoiling a big entertain
ing surprise to tell it.
Mr. Ray directed the picture him
self and introduces several new faces
in the excellent cast which assists
him in portraying the remarkably
dramatic story. Among those who
have prominent parts are: Vera
Stedman, Lydia Knott, Tom O’Brien,
Tom Wilson, Stanton Heck, Claude
Berkely and Charles Wheelock.

It is not always in business that a
woman is forced to give up. her work
on account of ill health. It is quite as
often the woman who does her own
work at home. When backaches and
headaches drive out all ambition,
when that bearing-down sensation
attacks you, when you are nervous
and blue, the one great help for such
ailments is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound.

Two Wonderful Feature* at Dltmas.
Bryant Washburn has scored
another bull's-eye In his delightful
new Paramount comedy. "An Ama
teur Devil,” which was presented
before an enthusiastic audience at
the Dltmas Theatre yesterday.
Mr. Washburn has the role of
Carver Endlcott.. a young wealthy
society man whose pepless wooing
is resented by his sweetheart. To
wake him up she terminates their
engagement and pretends she is
going to marry his father, a gay
widower. Then Carver decides to
disgrace his father by going to work
on a farm and then in a hotel
kitchen. The newspapers praise him
for his self-sacrificing principles, and
finding he cannot disgrace his fash
ionable name by working, he decides
to get entangled with a notorious
actress. Even this doesn’t work, as
the sequel proves, and finally he
makes up with his sweetheart who,
it is evident, has no further com
plaint to make of his "kickless
kisses."
The program also includes the
great production, "Paying the
Piper.” which has created so great
a sensation wherever shown. This
picture has an all-star cast and is
one that you cannot afford to miss.
Remember that the same pictures
shown in the Dltmas are also shown
in the Airdome.

Lincoln make* one wish that he
would more frequently lay down the
dlrector’a megaphone and act In pic
tures.
Ince manages to get every throb
out of the dramatic scenes, and his
portrayal of Lincoln is nothing short
of wonderful.
• It is a human story, a leaf taken
out of American history, which
shows the best beloved man of the
country as the humane head of the
army. A young boy of eighteen de
serts in order to visit his dying
mother, and is arrested at her bed
side. Lincoln, who learns the cir
cumstances, accomplishes his rescue
from the firing squad. How this Is
done is a gripping drama, and con
tains a strong love Interest.
The locations and settings are
historically accurate and the spec
tator may well imagine he Is living
over the events of those stirring
times.
William. Russell in "Bare Knuc
kles” is also at the Crescent theatre.
Those who have failed thus far to
see the star In the role of "Brute”
McGuire should do so. Russell has
scored a positive success In a role
that is somewhat different from the
usual run of western heroes of the
