Second Day of "Her Silent Sacrifice"
The Princess is repeating "Her Silent
Sacrifice" today. In the play
Alice Brady as Arlette is a French
girl who dwells with her grandfather,
the proprietor cf an Inn. within the
quaint village of Savenev. Arlette's
ntry Into the world was a somewhat
unofficial one, and the stigma o?
this has made life In the provincial
little town anything bnt pleasant for
her. Richard Vale, an indigent
vonnsr American, comes to Savenet
to sketch, and lodges at the Inn. He
meets Arlette. and. attracted by the
girl's -wild beanty. induces her . to
pose. This she finally consents to
do, and falls deeply In lore with him.
The portrait Is at last finished, and
Vale, ppnniless. is at the point ol
starvation. He is found unconscious
by Arlette, and she henceforth becomes
bfs patron saint and ministerins
ar.gel.
Prince Boissard. arriving in Sevenev
In quest of diversion, takes a
violent fancy to Arlette, and. repulsed
by her. becomes wonderfully
ingenious in thinking up methods oi
conquest. An art connoisseur, he
sees merit in Vale's painting, -which
Arlette is responsible for his seeing,
and he proposes to help Vale, financially
and in other ways, provided
Arlette will, in the course of time,
grant him the intimacy he wishes.
Arlette undergoes a silent struggle,
but in the end agrees, that Vale may
benefit. A year passes, and the price
is about to be paid by Arlette, when
Vale returns from Italy, famous, and
Prince Boissard is killed in his attempt
to ravish Arlette. by his Hindu
servant. Arlette is then free to love
and marry Vale.
Fox Kiddies in Big Production
The feature at the Dixie today
makes us suspect tnat even n you
have passed the age when "Jack and
the lleanstalk" is your favorite work
of fiction, you will undoubtedly enjoy
the recollection of the old thrills
that this screen version will bring to
your mind. It is the sort of thing
that yon invite a child to see. chiefly
as an excuse for going yourself, and
then proceed to enjoy it as much as
your small guest. The exciting old
lale has been developed on the screen
v.-ith absolute fidelity to the original
story and is staged in an elaborate
and spectacular setting, which reproduces
all of its delightful horrors
and thrills. The giant is as huge
and ferocious as a giant could possibly
be. the miracle of the beanstalk
is as convincing as it trcs in our
childhood and ail the exploits of the
dauntless Jack are reproduced exactly
as thev were told in the wellworn
old-fashioned picture book.
rThe cast is made up almost entirely
of children who enter into the
spirit of the play with very evident
enjoyment. The miniature village
of Cornwall swarms with these 1HIputian
Inhabitants who were saved
as we all remember, from the ferocity
of the giant by the fesrless Jack.

Makes Valuable fold
"After spending $900 for medicine
and doctors in four years without getting
any benefit for stomach trouble
and bloating I was induced by my
druggist to try Mayr's Wonderful
Remedy and must say that a $1 bottle
has done me $500 worth of good."
It is a simple, harmless preparation
that removes the catarrhal mucus
from the intestinal tract and allays
the inflammation -which causes practically
all stomach, liver and intestinal
ailments, including appendicitis.
One dose will convince or money refunded.
