She was like some beafutiful woodland sprite, but lost easte even with the rough miners, because she was supposedly a half-breed. half-breed. Innocent, however, of this, and loving her white father and squaw mother devotedly, Nceia lived happily and contented. Then ono day Lieutenant Lieuten-ant Meade Burretl arrived in Flambeau, detailed there by the government to keep the law and order as it should be kept. It was a case of love at first sight when Neeia and Burrell met, and they soon became companions. Burr el! was from Kentucky and had been taught the importance of good birth from his earliest years, and he soon began to realize that his love affair with Xecia must end because of the barrier that forbade their marriage. With the influx of newcomers to the country there arrived a man known as Dan Stark and his companion Rnnnion. Stark is a contemptible creature who lives on hate and gets his chief joy in life f rom wreaking vengeanco on others oth-ers for real or fancied wrongs. From the first moment that he and Gale meet they dislike each other. Gale feels that he will have to watch thif fellow and Stark is convinced that he has at l;Lt found a man whom he has sought for fifteen years. One day in conversation with Corporal Cor-poral Thomas BurreiT's assistant, Xecia finds out what Burrell thinks in regard to people who are not well born and what it would mean to him if she married mar-ried him. In the meantime John Gale goes to Lieutenant Burrell and tolls him the t i-ii tli about Neeia, who in reality is tho daughter of Stark, whose real name is Bennett.

VERYWOMAN," Henry F. L ' Savage's tremendous, popular j success, comes to the Salt Lake theater on Monday, December 2o, for a special holiday engagement en-gagement of one week, with matinees Christmas, Wednesday and Saturday. Mr. Savage is bringing his one and only "Every woman" company. He has never had but one company, and in consequence it. is now making its sov-enth sov-enth triumphal tour from coast to coast. No other manager has ever attempted attempt-ed to present with a traveling organization organ-ization a spectacle so massive. Not a feature which was used with this production pro-duction during its two years ' run iu New York has been eliminated. In addition ad-dition to the large number of people required to work tha mecnanical and electrical effects of the production, an entire orchestra is carried .by the company. com-pany. The music, which was composed by George Whitefield Chadwick, dean ,of the New England Conservatory of Music, of Boston, requires an intelligent intelli-gent and careful rendering to bring out all the beauties, and only skilled musicians, musi-cians, after weeks of strenuous rehearsals, re-hearsals, are competent to play it. The organization is equipped with two ear-loads ear-loads of scenery and meihanical effects. The company includes a grand opera and a musical comedy chorus, in addition addi-tion to the large dramatic ensemble. " E very-woman " is, in fact, a commingling commin-gling of the more attractive features of opera, musical comedy and drama. While it amuses and furnishes entertainment which may be understood and enjoyed by anyone, it also promulgates a moral lesson of inestimable value. Mothers, upon seeing the play, have brought, their daughters to it to impress upon them a lesson they could not otherwise impart.

The title role is taken hy the young and beautiful Paula Shay, considered by many the most remarkable E very-woman very-woman Mr. Savage has ever had.

ONE of the most stupendous combinations com-binations of interests ever effected ef-fected in the motion picture industry in-dustry occurred when the Famous Fa-mous Players Film company, Jesse L. Lasky Feature Fifty company, Oliver Morosco Photoplay company and Pallas Pictures acquired the controlling interest inter-est in the Paramount Pictures corporation, corpora-tion, the distributing medium of the ( photoplays of the aforementioned companies. com-panies. The stars of the Famous Players-Las-kv corporation, the studios m New York City. Los Angeles and Hollywood and the distributing ofiices controlled by Paramount form, through this coalition, coali-tion, what is undoubtedly the greatest single motion picture organization. The reason for the taking over of control of Paramount by the producing combination lies in its determination to establish a closer relationship with the exhibitor, to unify the producing and distributing branches of the business, and to concentrate its activities upOD a direct photoplay service from producer pro-ducer to exhibitor. The capital stock of the Famous Plavers-Laskv corporation is J? 1 2.5'"' 0,-ono'and 0,-ono'and that" of Paramount ?1 0,O0'".O00. giving a total of :2'2..V''.,':,'1U. There will be no change of administration in either the parent or the new company, Adolph Zukor remaining president or the former and Hiram Ahrams of Paramount. Para-mount. The other officers of the Famous Fa-mous Players-Lraky corporation axe Jesse L. Lasky, vice president; Arthur S. Friend, treasurer; Kick Ludvih, secretary; Cecil B. DeM ille, director general; Emil F. Sheuer, assistant treasurer, treas-urer, and .Ralph A. Kohn, assistant secretary. The Paramount staff is as follows: Hiram Abrams, president; William Wil-liam L. Sherry, vice president; James Steele, treasurer and secretarv. The producers will continue to make 104 photoplays a year. ' Commenting upon thp acquiring of control of Paramount, Mr. Zukor said: We consider this move to be the logical solution of many of the difficulties dif-ficulties which at the present time beset the film business. The interests inter-ests of the producer and those of the exhibitor have erroneously been considered to be at variance, and I have always blifveH this impression impres-sion to be one of the deterring fac-T fac-T i.irs in the art's development. The Famous Players Finn companv was organized in April, 1912, and was the first company to institute a programme pro-gramme of feature photorla vg. The Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play company 1 was formed in November, 1913, and Paramount was organized for the purpose pur-pose of marketing their products, together to-gether with that of the Pallas an!
