turer, Robert H. Seip. an expert of the
United States' Bureau of Mines. The

in an effort to acquaint the public witti
coal mining in (,he anthracite district.
"THE RUNNING FIGHT'
In "The Running Fight," released on
the Paramount program and featuring
Violet Heniing, to be shown at the Re
gent to-day only, Peter V. Wilkinson,
a Napoleon of finance, deliberately
wrecks liis trust company, and, un
known to his daughter, Leslie, secrets
his ill-gotten gains in assets standing
in her name. Wilkinson is intimate
with Madeline Braine. She visits him,
tells him that she no longer loves him
and that she is about to marry 1 Mings
worth. The latter, ruined by the wreck
of Wilkinson's company, attempts to
shoot him. Wilkinson betrays Alade
line's past to Illingsworth and later the
girl fires a shot through the window of
Wilkinson's home, using lllingsworth's
revolver, misses him and kills his pri
vate secretary. Illingsworth is con
victed of the crime. Thrill upon' thrill
follows and all ends happily.

derella role in the house of a rich wo
man.
"THE BATTI.E <IIV OF PEACE"
To-day Is the last day of the presen
tation of "The Battle Cry of Peace,"
one of the best war dramas ever filmed.
It is tile kind of picture that cannot
fail to impress because it deals with
a theme that ought to be of interest to
every one, that of "preparedness." Some
of the most notable stars in the film
world to-day are presented in this pic
ture, but there is one that deserves;
special mention, and lias an important
part. She is .1 little gray-haired wo
man with a quiet charm that has en
deared her to moving picture audiences
all over the country, and it Is Mid that
the mail she receives from her many
admirers is much larger than that of
the younger stars with whom she is
surrounded.
Good music is always appreciated,
and the people will not be disappoint
ed who come to see "The Battle Cry
of Peace" and listen to the appropriate
music which is rendered by a special
Golden Chance
