Suffice to say that those who have seen it are expected to come apain and those "who have not "Rill have the chance of seeing this eighth wonder of the world. It is claimedfor the production that no drama on stage or screen has achieved the world-wide recognition given to this story of the civil war and the reconstruction recon-struction period. The characters of Lincoln, Grant and Lee have never been so truthfully portrayed por-trayed as in this screen Etory. Veterans Veter-ans of the civil war gasp as they see the prototypes of these heroes and sit in awe and amazement as they see their generals, as if they were in the flesh and blood. LOVE-making and burglary, plots and counter-plots; complication after complication, make "A Full House," this week's offering at the Wilkes theater, one of the merriest, and swiftest moving comedies known to the present-dav American stage. ''A Full House1' was written" by Fred Jaek?on, who has made of it one of the runniest farces ever penned: Jackson knows how to handle situations. He has a rich sense of humor and his masterv of swift action shows itself to a marked advantage in this hilarious farce. The trouble in 'A Full House M begins be-gins when the love letters of a reckless aod wealthy youth to a designing chorus girl are stolen by the youth's brother-in-law, an attorney. 'Before the brother-in-law can get awav with the letters, however, he gets the handbag hand-bag mixed up with the grip of a burglar who has stolen a valuable necklace from the mother of the indiscreet boy. Xat u rally the crook wants to get back his plunder. He traces his hand: bag to the attorney and then troubie comes thick and fast for all concerned. Every situation is screamingly tunny, while line after line is crammed with the richest humor. "A Full House ' gives Miss Xana Bryant, Ralph CUniinger aud the other members of the Wilkes players one of the finest opportunities for clean, rapid farce comecy thew have ever had. It opens tonight and runs all week with matinees on Thursday and Saturday afternoons. HO"W do criminals escape from their prison cells? How do burglars break into houses? It is all explained this week at the Liberty theater, where Mr. Rago, the most mystifying genius of the age, is giving the public lessons in how to break ,-iail, get out of strait-jackets, handcuffs, chains, trunks, drygoods boxes, etc. This mystery man is declared de-clared to be the most extraordinary piece of human mechanism that has ever appeared before a theatergoing public. He cannot be tied up to stay, He has demonstrated to the Salt Lake police that it wouid be useless to put him in ail. He will be at the Liberty theater thea-ter for four days more and will appear with five other big acts which comprise Kir-pocrome road show No. 4. In addition to Raeo, Mis? Dorothy Van, manager of the house, will present a breezv girl act in "The Dancing Daisies' a display of beauty, wardrobe, talent and shapes; Jack Boan, the world's greatest long arvi high iuinptr; the Robinson duo, musical mam.i -s; Jean Barrios, in song studies; Ward and Vaughn, crazy comedy acrobat?, and the Fathe news. JrXE CAPRICE will be seen at the Broadway Sunday and Monday in a genuine treat, "Miss U. S. A." This is in addition to another chapter chap-ter of ''The Fighting Trail." featuring William Duncan and Carol Hoiloway. 'Miss U. S.

FOB the first time in the history of West Point the whole military academy turned out one bright sunny morning recently to pose as part of a motion picture story, headed head-ed by Mme. Petrova. Many films have been taken of the cadets in special exercises, ex-ercises, on dress parade and so forth, by various companies, as current news events, but never before have the students stu-dents been actually in the plot of a I six-reel .feature. In this picture the story has to do with the morganatic marriage of an American jrirl to the erown prince of a well-known foreign country.

YEAR by year the fame of O. Henry grows. Millions of people peo-ple of every class and type and degree hail him as the world's master story teller and number his books among their most cherished possessions. pos-sessions. In the O.

"Past One at Rooney's.''' a drama of the New York underworld nobility, is on the Mehesy programme today.

Tuesday is all-comedy day. TWO really big pictures are booked by the management of the Paramount-Empress for this week.

And when the pretender to the throne objects to his occu pancv aud hires assassins to remove the new monarch, mon-arch, who is a determined and athletic youns man, there is apt to be considerable consid-erable excitement. This is one i)f the threads of the new Artcraft photoplay by Douglas F-airbanks, "Rrahin for the Moon,'' coming to the Paramount-Empress Paramount-Empress for four days beginning today, which teems with sensational incidents and laughable comedy. In staging this photoplnv Artcraft has gone to extreme limits, and the popular Fairbanks mus have experienced expe-rienced a strenuous time, f-r in some of the scenes he is handled very roughly. How he really escaped with his life is one ox the studio secrets. The locale of the story is Europe and America, and the magnificent settings, gorgeous costumes and strou i supporting support-ing cast make this one of the most costly oiferinsfs Artcraft has yet issued from its studios. Douglas Fairbanks is a stickler for types, and in sclenting the tharactrs for his films ho always end favors to secure actors who resemble the i ha rasters ras-ters t-o such a degree that they ueed little, if any, make-up. In " K'-aching for the Moon,'7 the r-torv deals with an American who is found to be the mining heir to a F'tropt-aa thr-ne.

I In " Under the Stars end Stripes in j France." patriotism, intense interest in; our bovs abroad and the eagerness of those hundreds of thousands, whose ! relatives and friends are already in the service, to see the life they will live on foreign soil, is manifest.

As the name implies, this production produc-tion deals with the growth of the French army from the year IP 14 until the present (late, showing in detail the methods employed by the French in ' ilii-ir resistance of Gorman invasion. For a war picture it is said to be one of the best that has ever been offered to the Salt Lake public. The picture first shows the mobilization mobiliza-tion ot France's man power. Then it goes into detail explaining how the com-missarv, com-missarv, clothing and. other departments have grown to keep pace with the efficiency effi-ciency found in the French army. The views surrounding the aeroplanes' aero-planes' part in the war will afford as audience any number of thrills. Scenes have been taken at a very high altitude, alti-tude, and show a gripping and interesting inter-esting encounter in the air between the Gernian and French aeroplanes. The German aeroplane is defeated and makes a most sensational plung" earth. This is one of the Btront points of the picture. Scenes are also shown of the French arrnv in the trenches. It shows them -oin" "over the top" right into the German trenches, showing the spectacular spectacu-lar capture of prisoners and so lorth. CAKMEL MYERS, the newest and youngest of Bluebird stars, who, by the, way, is becoming known as the "Bluebird beauty," says if she is ever to be born again, she would like to come into the world as a mermaid. This wish, however, only re-centlv re-centlv has taken possession ol her. During her five weeks' stay at Santa Cruz island, where a Bluebird special feature was being wilmed, Miss ilye.-s learned to love the ocean with its rocks and shells and awe-inspiring breakers, and spent most of her spare time disporting dis-porting herself in its waters. Instead of donning her bathing suit, she presented a fascinating picture one morning as she sauntered torth for her regulation dip, Swathed in sea grasses and kelp leaves which cleverly hid her swimming trunks beneath. Without the least intention of doing so. she gave a perfect picturization of Aphrodite arising aris-ing from the briny. Miss M- ers has anything but a "mermaid "mer-maid role" in "The Lash of Power" to be presented at the American today and tomorrow, when she will play the star role in an intensely emotional story of I keen dramatic interest.

Whiie several of the stonn-seekers were off on a three-day journey an old trapper who lives in that region stumbled into earn?, after a forty-mile trek behind his pack-train pack-train toward civilization.

"We'll start on your back trail this afternoon." As the company departed toward the blizzard, the old woodsman shook his head. "Flumb looney clean gone'" he affirmed, and started down the canyon.
