This is pic -1 turization of Elinor Glyn's highly i successful novel of which more than j a million copies were sold. Miss Calvert's beauty and artistry 1 are said to be conspicuously display- I ed in this fine picture and supported as she is by many screen artists of j reputation, her latest vehicle is an ; attraction of superior merit. This j was tlie unanimous opinion of the I large audiences which greeted the ! first showings of the picture at the Regent yesterday. Many former i readers of Mrs. Glyn's book were in terested spectators yesterday. j Fat Thompson & Co. are present j ing the "Camoufieurs" at the Majes tic Theater this At the Majestic week. Two men con tract to paint a I house, so they start, but after they | have partly completed the job they lctrn it is the wrong house. Both of i the comedians iniect soma "peppery" talk into the clever sketch, which is IL.o-.nd to create laughter. The entire bill from start to finish is good. The first act is a clever ' roller-skating exhibition. The see ' and act two men presenting a hotel I novelty. The third act. "Home Sweet I Home." is a scream from start to 1 linish. It's a clever thing every mar l l ied woman will delight in seeing. Another interesting episode of "The I Great Gamble" is also being shown. ! Harrisburgers have hailed with de- ; I light the initial picture starring Ku- j gene O'Brien which At the Colonial is now showing at i the Colonial Theater, j ' The picture is entitled "The Perfect i i Lover." In it Eugene O'Brien takes i i the role of a perfect lover, an Ameri- I 'can artist, whose charms are so won- j i dcrful that no woman can resist them. ' | He knows exactly when a woman wants to be kissed; when she wants Ito be sympathized with; when she wants to go to theater and numerous ! other things above the knowledge of t.lie ordinary man.

Coupled with this feature attrac- j ! tion Charlie Chaplin is being shown in "A Dog's Life," his first million dollar production which thousands of j people have laughed themselves al- : i most into spasms over.

V- 'Ji The relationship of music to mo tion pictures is a subject of interest and importance to those who follow 1 the development of the silent drama. ' Just how much of the effectiveness | of a screen masterpiece is due to im j pressions received by the ear as well 1 as the eye is brought forth in David Warlt Griffith's big dramatic produc ! tion, "The Mother and the Law," to i be seen at the Victoria all next week, coning direct from the George M. 'Cohan Theater, New York. In this latest of the big Griffith features a special orchestra accom paniment is made part and parcel of the entertainment as a whole, the incidental music arranged by Louis Gottschalk adding materially to the interpretation of the various | scenes and incidents. The score of | "The Mother and the Law" is con- I sidered by Mr. Griffith of equal im i portance with the dramatic develop ment of his story, to such an extent ! in fact that he spent several weeks l on the music alone in order that every detail of his tremendous drama might have proper and appropriate musical interpretation. D. \V. Griffith may be said to be i the real pioneer in discovering and ' introducing the value of music as a part of a motion picture entertain- I ment. He first introduced this im ! portant factor in "The Birth of a | Nation," and added to its importance | both in "Intolerance" and "Hearts of the World." Now, in "The Mother J and the Law" he again introduces a special orchestral accompaniment j that is considered by musical experts the most ingenious weaving of music j and story thus far achieved. THE LIRE OF BASEBALL Fatty Arbucklc Has Always Had a Desire to Be a Magnate and Now He Is A few weeks ago Fatty Arbuckle attended the baseball game in Los I Angeles and was considerably annoy , ed by a couple of plays which the ! stout side-spiitter declared were of ; the bonehead variety, i "It seems to me," said Fatty to his genera! manager, Lou Anger, who j was sitting with him, "that foolish plays could be eliminated entirely if the man vvjio owns the ball club would have a daily heart-to-heart talk with his players. I don't mean to haul them over tbe coals or get j rough with them, but just a little earnest chat in which the manager or owner could point out the mis j takes made in the previous game." 1 "According to my figuring there j are just about 1,000 ways to make a jbriftfthbad play oft a baseball dia mond. Now suppose the team made j fifty darn-fool mistakes every day. ; It would only taka twenty days to 1 tell them about every bone' possible on a. ball field and after that you'd j have a perfect team. The more I ' think of it the better it looks and I'm going to put it to the test. | "Here's my checkbook, Lou. "I'll just sign this and leave the amount ; blank. You take it over and see what they viant for the Vernon baseball club. Whatever they quote you as a | figure for a cash sale, put that amount on the check." "I'll offer them half," said Mr. An- I ger, cautiously. j "Well," answered the jovial com edian, smilingly, "use your own judg ment. but be sure I'm the owner of I the team when you come back." | Mr. Anger hurried away and was ) soon seen whispering with Tom Dar i mudy and "Puss" Halbriter, Presi dent and secretary of the club, re > spectively. Then followed a hasty j visit to the office of the Vernon club and when Mr. Anger came down the steps he carried the papers in his hand that made Roscoe Arbuckle the j new owner of The organization. I "Here you are, Roscoe," he shout ed as he joyously placed the papers ,in the comedian's hand. "Now you ; own the club." ; "I do, eh?" said Fatty, "well tell that, umpire to stop calling strikes on my men or I'll come out there and umpire the game myself. Then I . know we'll win." Jack D eropsey outfought Jess V lllard at Toledo, on July 4 and won the heavyweight championship of the world, he turned the trick so easily that there was considerable agitation among the boxing fraternity as to who would be the next logical con tender for the heavyweight crown. ' With few exceptions the Held is i bare of prospects able to put up the i kind of battle that would entice the I title holder into the ring. Now comes I Elmo Lincoln, a moving picture actor, who has won fame as the "Hercules of the Screen." who wired a challenge to Demsey from California last week. And the young giant of the picture camera has such a good chance of putting up a scrap that may lose Demsey the title, that he has attract ed James J. Jeffries and James J. Ccrbett, both former champions to his 'camp. Lincoln now has representatives in Chicago and New York, camping on tile trail of Demsey amd his manager. Jim Jeffries has wired the following statement in support of his faith in the young movie actor; "I have carefully examined Elmo Lincoln and see in him the ability to put up a wonderful battle against Demsey. I am convinced Lincoln has strength and endurance. What we must teach him is speed. He has never boxed professionally but he has wrestled and fought to the limit of a 1 man's endurance in motion picture work. I think so much of his chances I to put up a scrap that I am willing to associate myself with Jim Corbett In ' supervising his training and my ranch i near Burbank, Cal.. is at his disposal I for the establishment of a training ; camp." Lincoln should not flght Demsey I before Thanksgiving or Christmas. I New Year's might be better. This is going to require a lot of stiff training. ; hut Lincoln's clean life means much iin his favor. He Is another clean I young fellow of the Dempsey type, i just the sort who should be encourag ed for the benefit of the boxing game I that it may be kept on a high level." Jp.mes J. Corbett is now in New York, where he is using every en i denvor in an attempt to arrange a i tout between Lincoln and Demsey. 1 Elmo Lincoln Is known to thou sands of motion picture devotees for I his portrayal of Tarzan In "Tarzan of | the Apes." as the blacksmith both In "The Birth of a Nation" and "Intol erance." In the latter production he was also seen as "The Mighty Man of Valor." Lincoln Is about the same age as Dempsey. He was born In Indiana, reared on a farm, and later became a railroad fireman, where he laid the foundation for his strength. His am- I bltlon has long been to flght for the HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH i^BPoßTin>ne\g BENNY LEONARD GIVEN DECISION Champion Too Clever For Middleweight; Willie Jackson Wins Philadelphia, Sept. 5. Benny Leonard defeated Soldier Bartfleld in the wind-up at the Philadelphia Ball Park last night, having the Soldier In bad shape at the last bell. It was a case of a skillful, careful boxer against a wild, slugging fighter, and the boxer had the better of the argument. The bout was fast at all times, hut It was not as exciting as it might have been, owing to the difference in the style of the two men. In the second round Bart field went down from a punch and a push by Leonard. That was the only time either trian was off his feet .al though each man was staggered by blows to the head not hard enough to put either one down. Leonard was bleeding slightly from the mouth, and Bartfleld was bleeding from the nose when the bout ended. In the semi-wind-up Willie Jackson defeated Joe Phillips, who took the bout on at a moment's notice. In the first round Phillips clouted Jackson over the eye, and in the third round with wild swings he rocked Jackson's head. That made Jackson box very care fully. otherwise he might have knocked Phillips out. as he had Joe in pretty bad shape in the final round, although he could never hit the Italian lad hard enough to put him off his feet. John Murray Wins Johnny Murray outboxed Joe O'Don nell, the Gloucester ironworker. In six rounds that were far from exciting. O'onnell, as usual, and at all times, carried the fight to the New Yorker, but Murray had the better of the box ing in every round, although he could never hit O'Donnell hard enough to bother him for a second. Murray fouled O'Donnell all through the bout by hold ing and wrestling. Joe Benjamin, the California light weight, stopped Joe Ivovus in three rounds. Benjamin greatly outclassed the Port Richmond boxer. After stag gering Kovus three times in the first round Benjamin dropped him for the count of nine. In the second round Kovus was down again for seven and was weak and bleeding when the round ended. Benjamin scored another knock down in the third round—when Kovus got to his feet he was wobbly on his feet Benjamin backed him to the ropes. The Californian banged Kovus a couple of times on the jaw and the lat ter was so weak Referee Grimson stopped the bout. Max Williamson and Patsey Wallace opened the show, their bout being staged 15 minutes after the time an nounced for the show to start It was a tame affair with neither lad suffer ing any damage and ended with honors about even. Williamson landed more blows than Wallace, but Patsey's punches were the harder. [Other Sports on Opposite Pace.] ALSO IN FLIGHT A bashful curate found the young ladies In the parish too helpful. At last it became so embarrassing that he left. Not long afterward he met the curate who had succeeded him. "Well," he asked, "how do you get on with the ladies?"

Hair Often Ruined By Careless Washing Soap should be used very care fully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is Mulsifled cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thor oughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lath er. which rinses out easily, remov ing every particle of dust, dirt, dan druff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get Mulsifled cocoanut oil shampoo at any pharmacy; it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.

Forest Hills, L. 1., Kept. s.—Califor nia is again supreme as the home of the world's greatest tennis p!a> er for the season of 1919. On the courts of West Side Club here yesterday Wil liam M. Johnsson, of San Francisco, defeated William T Tilden, 2nd, of Philadelphia, in straight sets in the final match for the national turf ! singles championship. In eliminating the towering rhila- ! delphian by the score of 6-4, 6-1, 6-3, Johnston placed himself upon a ten nis pinnacle seldom reached by racquet masters. With Til-len he was ; the sole survivor of 128 players who • began the struggle for the title on j August 25. This field contained the i famous Australian team, winners of I the English championships, at Wim- i blcJon, s well as American players j conquerors in the A. E. F. tourna ments abroad. Thus Johnston's vic tory this afternoon stamps him un questionably as the best tenni- player competing in the game in any part, i of the world this year. The new champion in winning his | latest honors played fully up to the i high stanJard necessary to clinch | such an honor.
