At the Orpheum to-night is a power
ful drama in three acts adapted from
the French In Robert Law
"fhc rence, entitli I "The Guilty
Guilty Woman." It id said to be an
Woman" unusual play in many re
a, spects; and while the theme
has been used by other dramatists in
the past, the author has evolved a story
that is not only intensely dramatic, but
entirely different to anything hereto
fore written upon the subject. Mother
Love under different titles has been
splendidly received in several different
languages in all European countries.
One of the moßt important attractions
of the current season is P. AV. Grif
llfth's colossal spec
"lntolerance" tacle, "Intolerance,"
which will appear at
tlie Orpheum for three days, commenc
ing Monday, February IS, with daily
matinees.
in every respect this amazing work
is absolutely different from anything
ever before shown on any stage. Paris,
of the Middle Ages, Babylon of the
reign of Belshazzar the magniflcent,
Judea of the time of Christ, are de
picted with such realism that one finds
it difficult not to believe one is actu
ally viewing the picturesque life of
these historic periods. To convey any
idea of the immensity or splendor of
the Babylonia scenes is impossible by
written word. TljJs thrilling episode in
itself, with its palaces, and temples, its
mighty battles and thousands of peo
ple, comprises a spectacle of even
greater magnitude than Mr. Griffith's
lormer famous work, "The Birth of a
Nation." And mighty Habylon is hut
one-fourth of the wonders of "Intoler
ance."
To-nisht is the last opportunity pa
trons of the Majestic will have of wit
nessing the iine array of

Nile," a beautiful operetta, aro <iioberts

ans; Ethel May Hall and Company, in
a farce comedy sketch, "The Wrong
Guy," and tho Two Totos in a very good
equilibristic act. For the last half of
tho week Hytnan Adler and Company
will present a comedy-dramatic sketch,
"The Miser's Dream," that is said to
appeal t<> young and old alike. Grouped
around this feature are: The Muilge
Morton Trio, in an artistic musical of
fering; Marion Harris, excellent sing
ing comedienne; Claire and Atwood,
comedy acrobats, and one other act.
Tho large crowds that are attending
the Regent Theater this week, where
Mary Pickford is ap
l.nst Do.v pealing in "The Pride
Mary Pickford of the Clan," proves
at Urgent conclusively that the
management's efforts
to provide only the very best form of
motion picture entertainment have been
fully appreciated. Those who did not
see "The Pride of the Clan" Monday or
yesterday, will have the last opportu
nity to-day to see this photoplay.
The story contains pathos, a number
of dramatic moments, and an abundance
of humor. In this production Miss
Pickford has the novelty of having her
brother-in-law as a stage lover. In
other words, the popular Matt Moore,
brother of the equally popular Owen
Moore, the husband of Mary Pickford,
has this part to play.
Frank Mclntyre, one of the foremost
comedians on the stage, makes his mo

tho house staged an extra in
the form of a wedding ceremony on the

ward Jones, of 1835 Fulton street, and
Miss Grace May Osborne were wed by
Alderman Householder before what the
management claims was one of the big
pest houses he has ever had at the
theater, aggregating, he claims. 1,400

Viola Dana, the pretty little star who
was seen in this city recently in "The
Cossack's Whip," was
Viola Dnnn seen at the Colonial
t tlic Colonial Theater yesterday in
a Metro play,
"Threads of Fate," which is showing
for the last times to-day. "Threads of
Fate" is a gripping story of capital
against labor, interwoven with a de
lightful love romance, and staged in
the >;oal regions of Pennsylvania. Miss
Dana is shown in a part that will at
once gain your sympathy and interest.
The usual tunny comedies and the
Pathe News will c omplete the program.
To-morrow and Friday, Peggy liyland
and Antonio Moreno will be seen in a
Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature called
"Her Right to Live." Friday, one day

PRINCESS BELOVED IN BABYLONIA N SCENE OP D. W. GRIFFITH'S "IN
TOLERANCE"
D. W. Griffith's magnificent spectacle, "Intolerance," the season's biggest
hit in New York, is coming to the Orpheum for three days, commencing next
Monday, with daily.matlnees. In every way the production which will be
shown here will be the same as the Broadway one, including a symphony or
chestra of thirty. The spectacular wonders of "Intolerance" have never been
equaled, possibly never will be because of the appalling cost of their produc
tion. Only a director like Mr. Griffith, who had millions of dollars at his
command, could have attempted the resuscitation of Ancient Babylon, a city
famed for its colossal architectural structures, its grandeur and its life of
prodigal luxury. This Babylonian episode, which cost more than any entire
spectacle ever before produced, is but one-fourth of "Intolerance."

HUPP SUCCESS
BUILT ON MOTOR
Latest Hupp Engne Has Rigid
ity of Crankshaft and
Camshaft
By D. F. GARBER.
The I-fupp Corporation continues to
build four-cylinder motors exclusive
ly. The question often is asked Hup
moblle salesmen: "How do you get
such phenomenal perromance from a
I'our-cylinder motor?" The answer is
that the Hupp engineers have devel
oped what practically amounts to a
new type of motor.
The basic principles of a wonder
fully efficient four-cylinder racing
motor have been adapted to touring
car practice. The latest Hupmoblle
motor has rigidity of crankshaft and
camshaft and tlie lightness of pistons,
connecting rods, valves and valve tap
pets characteristic of the racing motor.
It has the same high quality of mater
ials and workmanship and the same
careful fitting and adjustment.
Carburetion and ignition are of
equal quality. The special system of
lubrication gives as plentiful and as
well distributed a supply of oil as do
the complicated systems of the racing
motors.
As wo do not require as great power
for touring cars as for racing motors,
tho diameter is limited and the lift
of tho valves and their time of open
ing and closing reduces the amount of
gas taken into the cylinders ftt high
speeds.
This limits tlie power at high speeds
and increases it at low speeds. The
result is what we might call a "re
strained" motor, a motor which has
the power at low speed and in hill
climbing which is usually associated
with 80 horse-power engines, and
which has at all speeds and under all
conditions that exhilarating sense of
doing its work easily.
