"Little Miss Nobody" at tiie Dixie
today Is the story of a charming little
barbarian who has been allowed to
grow up as an Ignorant young slavey
In the wilds of a rough lumber camp.
Bhe becomes violently attached to a
young city chap who protects her from
the abuse of her foster father and
when her hero isolates himself In a
lecluded cabin to forget an affair with
a married woman. Bonnie seeks him
out and Insists on staying to console
him. Because her perfectly innocent
conduct has compromised her In the
eyes of the world, the hero agrees to
marry her, although his heart Is still
with his old love. Tho unscrupulous
methods of that lady, combined with
the winsome personality of his little
oride affect a change of heart and the
play ends happily amid the scenes of
their first r?
camp.

of the company coa3t Is another fascinating
sight. The story itself Is

"Isle of Smiles at Hippoarome.
Gracey's Colonial Jlalds wbo have
been playing to delighted audiences
this week at the Hippodrome will present
a new bill today which calls for
a complete change of costumes, settings
and the assuming of different
character parts by the members of the
cast. Gracey, of course, will not omit
bis highly pleasing musical specialties.
He will have a new program,
however, and we can feel assured that
bis hart will be as delightful ar. -i the
bill which ended last night, Christie,
who Is a character actor of the highest
type and a comedian hard to beat
will have a new role and new specialties.
There is a pleasing black face
part in "Isle of Smiles" that will touch
the risibles at every turn. Miss Ham

as one of the pleasing features of the
show on Its visit her last January.

the general refinement of the production.

clean, classy showg and tonight's entertainment

Labcr Play at The Princess.
Emile Chautard's direction of "The
Fires of Youth," which is showing at
the Princess today, is exceptionally capable.
The setting for each scene,
Whether it be exterior or interior, is
highly pleasing to the eye, contains
the correct atmosphere, and due con1
Ilidenation is given uie aruuu auu iuc
dramatic value of each incident, and
)ts relation to the climax. The story
Is of a capitalist who is too busy adding
to his already large fortune to enjoy
himself and he is so ruthless In
amassing wealth that he will not improve
the working conditions of his
employes. A little child revolutionizes
hie attitude toward life. The acting
of the entire cast is strong and especial
credit should go to Jeanne Eagles
for the manner In which she rais&
bs a conventional role out of the rut.
E ; She acts with judgment and makes a
charming appearance. Frederick
Warde is impressive as "Iron-Hearted"
Pemberton, creating a distinct charaoler
out of the elderly money-maker.
K- But one fault Is to be found with Mr.
Warde'a acting; In bis dramatic moments
he Is prone to inject a Shakesperean
atmosphere which does not exactly
fit into a labor play. Little Helen
IS - - Badgley, In the role of the boy, Billy,
helps In putting the picture over.
Nelson's Triple Feature Bill.

Is one of the American Olrl
series in which Marin Sais is starred
surrounded by her usually good eomP,'.
pany of screen favorites. The tiUe
is "The Sage Brush Law" which broadly
suggests the character of the play.
It is one of those thrilling stories of
daring and clever horsemanship together
with intrigue and the exciting
Kl - climaxes which have characterised
b - the former showings of this series.
"A Man, a Girl, and a Lion" is one

Another Industry Which
Will Consume M. V. T.
Power.
I
i
The Smallwcod Stone company of
! Elyria, Ohio, has purchased a property
at Opekiska consisting of a large acrp,
age jt the best quality of stone and will
proceed immediately 'o construct a
plant for the manufacture ot mill
i stones. A face ol' stone four hundred
i feet long and twenty-five feet thick
has already been uncovered by the men
who have been engagd in hauling the
earth away from this ledge. An analysis
of the stone has been made and has
: been found to be of a very high quality.
J The purpose of the company Is to
: manufacture stones which are used for
grinding wood in the manufacture of
paper. Machinery has already been
, ordered for the local plant and the con- j
siruction of the mill will be started at j
! once. The Monongrhela Valley Traction
company will furnish the power !
for the plant as almost all of the machinery
is operated by electricity.
The company will also have a dimension
department at the local mill. This
department will take care of the small
orders for building stone such as arches
and other special cuttings.
The ledges at the local plant are so
large that the company will be able to
operate here for years and years before j
the supply of stone will be exhausted. I
The quarry is on the cast bank of the
river and is said to be of as fine a
quality as the company has at Elyria,
I Ohio, where their main plants are situated.
I it is possible that the main offices
of the company will be moved here and
the entire plant of the Smallwood
Stone company may be brought to Opekiska.
The construction of the plant will be
under the supervision of D. H. Harding,
who is superintendent of the concern.
He will have direct charge of the construction
of the plant and will rush the
work with as much haste as possible.
It is hoped that the plant will be operting
before long. ,

THE GREAT WAR MYSTE
WORKING ON IN HIS LIT

I
By K. M. KEUBV. i
ORANGE, N. J., August 14.?Here:
is the wonderful war mystery!
More thrilling than trench capture! i
More important than wheat! More'
romanntic than air duels! More en-1
grossing than these and all the rest,
: because it is still a mystery.
What is the mysterious, secret invention
Edison, America's wizard,
i has perfected to destroy the L'-boais?
This is the big question mark of the
entire world war.
Here are the facts:
1. Almost a year ago it was widely
announced that Amerca's electrical
genius had a marvelous scheme by
which electric rays would set off ex-'
plosives at groat distance.
2. Several months ago a promt-,!
nent member of the naval consulting i
board of experts announced American ;
jinventive genius v -s about to tun:
I against Germany a mysterious destructive
agent that would rid the sea
of U-boats.
4. July 14 Edison himself, in one
of his rare statements, issued to his!
subordinates, said crypitlcally: "Wei
! now have all the rebellious elements'
under control. Today will be remem-1
I bered as the time hen we removed ;
| the last jinx from the record."
4. July 20 the navy department
permitted the announcement that aj
device to detect U-boats ten miles j
away was nearly perfected.
5. A high government official said !
only a few days ago that Edison had I
just completed a task that would
make him the greatest man in the,
world.
6. The Westlnghouse company,1
leading makers of electric appliances, |
is enlisting 1.000 men willing to
absolutely locked In from the outside
world, holding no communication
with it. for ten months, .making "war
munitions."
7. Edison, wmte-nairea, naa Deen ;
working for months, 16, IS, 20 hours
a day, in a veritable frenzied debauch
of sleepless nights and days, on the
submarine problem before he made
the electrifying announcement.
8. Xo government official will say
a word.
Now?what is the conclusion?
1. Was the announcement of the
new rays o fremarkable power sr/ sbody's
dream?
2. Was the naval consulting1
board expert either a liar or a mani-1
ac? The board is not made up of!
that kind of men. Furthermore, his |

statement was not denied.
3. Did Edison boast wildly when
he said he had solved the last war
puzzle? Well?you can number 100
magical inventions from Edison's
brain. Can you number one boast?
4. Was the navy department talking
through its hat when it said the
L-boats were unmasked 10 miles
away?
5. Is the high government official
who said Edisou had finished a job
that would "make him the world's
greatest man" crazy?
ti. Is the Westinghouse company
turning itself into a prison because it
believes that will attract labor in
those limes ot labor shortage?
7. Why doesn't some high official
put these speculations to rest hy an
cfficial denial of them all?
Isn't it plain that, instead of more
than the facts being revealed, there
exist more facts than have even been
hinted at?
Jules Verne predicted the U-boat.
John P. Holland built it.
H. G. Wells in his "War of the
World's" toi'l how the invading inhabitants
of Mars used against thej
earth folk a powerful light ray that'
burned everything in the path it
swept.
Is Edison ready, through a Westinghouse-ipade
machine, to turn this
light ray on the German sharks?
