Darcy was knocked, by press and public. He did not get a fair chance. When he took the right course he got little encouragement. Man's in humanity to man had a whole lot to do with his death according to a •widespread opinion. Harrisburg's classic track meet will be a big athletic feature to-mor row at Municipal Field.

The author. Howard McKent Barnes, a young American playwright, who has already given theatergoers a suc cessful drama this season in xne End of a Perfect Day," went deeply into the subject before completing his story, devoting many weeks to re search in the laboratories of promi nent physicians throughout the coun try. The result is well worthy of the effort, for "Her Unborn Chila is a valuable contribution to stage litera ture, and the lesson it teaches will do much to prevent the wanton slaughter of innocent, unborn babes due to the ignorance of misguided mothers, who listen to bad advice and pay the heavy penalty exacted. A line-up of brilliant Keith attrac tions. with Andrew Mack, the cele brated Irish singer Andrew Mack and comedian, head nt Majestic ing the list, are to be found at the Ma jestic Theater the last half of the present week.

The attraction at the Regent to-day and to-morrow will be "On Record. featuring Map Mur- Mae Murray ray. Miss Murray at the Regent is wrohgfully sus pected, and the police take prints of her shapely fingers. This is how she came to be "On Record." But, of course, this isn't all of the story. It began in the country. Rand, a young aviator, meets with an accide.nt, and falls in the field near Helen's home. Helen comes to the rescue, and later she goes to the city, and is employed as a secretary to Rand's mother. She unknowingly becomes involved in a plot, conceived by a rival firm of aeroplane manufacturers. She is falsely accused of being a suspicious character and her fingerprints are taken. Eventually the situation clears up and she is freed. A happy termination to a good story is the marriage of Helen and Hand. The attraction for the first three days of next week will be Mary Pickford in her latest picture, "A Romance of the Redwoods." Earle Williams, the popular Vita graph star, and Francis X.. Bushman will be seen on the "The Hawk" same program at at the Colonial the Colonial Thea ter to-day. The for mer will be seen in a splendid story of love and romance produced by the Vitagraph Company, called "The Hawk," not a detective story, but a love story that shows the handsome star in a part that will win him many new admirers. The story of a man's soul buried in iniquity, but resurrect ed by his faith in a woman. Francis X.
