I'aramount vehicle "Cecelia of the : Pink Kosf," will a era in furnish Sunday patrons of the LaSall? a rnro treat when she appnrs today in "Tho r.urden of Proof," an in- 1 seems of thi distinctly different i drama are laid for the mo?t part in American cities, namely Wahinp- J ton and Newport. Miss Paies' role is that of an American's bride, who thronch a peculiar stress of circumstances, finds herself the ! center of a maelstrom of intrigue j :i tr.i i ust her own country. The big! moment of the play comes when, seemingly convicted by the aecusinu' ! finger of circumstantial evidence, j the l.ride faces her husband and j tests his faith in her. The story in somo was is similar in theme to , Sardou's "Diplomacy." in which Marie Doro appeared at the Oliver several seasons aso. The picture is also shown tomorrow, with the ad ditional attraction of the Screen Telegram. Following the recent Paramount success. "Tom Sawyer," the further adventures of Mark Twain's youth ful heroes is recorded in "Huck and Tom." w hich Is the I.aSalle's attrac tion for Tuesday. Nearly everyone has read thes stories and the pres ent picture has to do with the visit l of the boys to the graveyard at mid night to rid Tom of his warts by the aid of a dead cat. There they are witnesses to a mtirtler and their later recounting of their adventures at the trial succeeds in freeing an innocent person and convicting the criminal. Full of the spirit of joy ous boyhood, replete with thrills and romance, this is one of the best of the Mark Twain series yet to be released. Jack Pickford is excel lent as Tom, while Robert Gordon. remembered for his portrayal of the youthful lieutenant In "Miss- insr." is Huck. A clever Pilbe Khodes comedy completes tho bill. "Viviette," featuring dainty Viv ian Martin and shown at the Ia Faile Wednesday, follows the amus ing adventures that befall a little maid whose coquetteries pet her into all sorts of mix-ups. Iler wink was as deadly as a bullet from a pun all the fellows "fell for" Viviette when she closed that mer ry eye then one day she flirted with a primitive man. and what happened goes to make up a story of wide appeal and humorous inci dent.

On Thursday Douglas Fairbanks is featured at the LaSallo In his lat est comedy drama "IteachlnR' for the Moon." On Friday and Satur day, the queen of the screen. Mary Pickford, is featured in "MXlss." AT THE CASTLE. The movies would Jump into ever-increasing popularity if every screen presentation could be as wholesome and entertaining as "Wild Primrose,' In which Gladys Iehlie is appearing at the Castle today. Her youthfulness, her fresh beauty and her talent as a screen favorite were never so well dem onstrated. The rare delipht attend ing "Wild Primrose" is the perfect naturalness with which the plot is advanced by players who net per fectly human and do logical things under normal circumstances. Prim rose, as impersonated by Miss Ixs lio, is a Tennessee pirl. who goes to New York and rescues her father from financial difficulties. Carrying so much of the story upon her slen der and beautiful shoulders Mies Leslie, is on view much of the time and her presence is one of the de lightful features of the piny. A roarinpr comedy. "Mutts and Mo tors," is also shown. Tor Monday and Tuesday one of the dramatic rcreen sensations of the season will bo fhown at the Castle called "Pread." It is de scribed as the cry of a hungry soul and depicts the happentnes of a de mure country plrl who went on the sbice.

Featuring clever Jack Trainor, a comedian who excels in eccentric roles, the entertainment is one that is bound to please. The scarcity of musical comedy shows this season is no table and the opportunity to see one of the very host should not be over-looked. Miss Ada Carter is the leading woman. She has a charming voice and a stunning wardrobe. She is a most attractive addition to this successful musical comedy, which is lively, brisk of ac tion and has one musical number following another with rapidity that keeps an audience expectant and interested. The scenic effects are especially good, the play being divided into seven different scenes. There is a chorus of "queens" with lots of "pep" introducing melody, mirth and sprightly dancing, each number appropriately costumed. Lovn or Tim iwTiirat. God is my father and I am his child.
