As the play ends, Geoffrey asks her to sit down for a few moments, ex plains to her, as he did to Valentine earlier in the action, that he has made up his mind to go to South America ami that he would like her to come with him and lie his wife. •Miriam replies: "There was a time when I would have jumped at that. But it is past. No, thank you. i won't marry you, but 1 will go with you to Buenos Aires or anywhere else if you really want it." When Geoffrey protests she looks at him searchingly and says: "Did you ever read the marriage service? 1 never did till the other day. it was after the last time 1 saw you. one afternoon I was wandering along, and I passed a church. 1 heard singing, so T stood still and listened. ' Then 1 thought it could do us no harm | if I prayed for both, so I went inside. That was how I happened to come I across the marriage service. It seemed as il' it opened my eyes.

Ninety-nine out of every hundred persons who saw the Triangle Plays at the Colonial this week pronounced them far superior to any other motion pictures ever shown in this or any other theater. The beauty of the Triangle I'lay service is that they have I Consistent Programmes With Triangle it is not a case of good this week and only fair next week. The Triangle Plays, directed in all cases bv Griffith. luce and Sennett, are good every week. Em ploying the most desirable of all stars the Triangle Com pany gives the best that can be had. To have these plays presented, with orchestra accompaniment, at prices of 10 and 15 cents, is to get the biggest bargain in pictures ever presented. The program for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, at the Colonial, will contain Dorothy Gish The most lovable little girl "of the screen in a five-act Griffith picture, entitled "Old Heidleberg." This pic ture is of the customary Griffith perfection with scenes that cause one to wonder at the advance that has been made in motion photography. Coupled with this Griffith feature, there will be another of those laugh-making Key stone-Sennett comedies, featuring Roscoe Arbuckle in "Fickle Fatty's Fall." This is the story of a beautiful housemaid whose charms prove so attractive that every body falls in love with her. and everybody who does so manages to come to grief. It is a comedy worthy of the name for there arc laughs in every foot of film. Frank Keenan comes to the Colonial the latter half of next week in a .•Hirring Inee drama, "The Coward," a story in which hon or and patriotism triumph over timidity. In this picture some of the best character work is done. The picture was directed by Thomas Ince. The comedy that goes with this picture is entitled "A Favorite Fool," and features the well-known comedian Eddie Foy Directors like these, with stars like those mentioned in next week's program cannot fail to turn out pictures that will live up to the splendid reputation they have attained in Harrisburg during their oneweek's showing at the COLONIAL Vote on Cloture Fight to Be Taken Late Today By Associated Press I Washington, 1).
