tui ing Kolb & Dill, the well known
comedians, aslo "Jerry' Big Haul," a
1 reel comedy. Tomorrow and Friday
•• Murray Theatre will present fam-
cm-s Mary Pickford in her new photo-,
pla; pioduced by her own company!
and released by Artcraft, The Pride
of the Clan." Every Scotchman in the
country hails with delight the news
that ' Little Mary" has selected the
role of Marget Mac Tavish" as her
next screen impersonation. For a long
time Caledonians have hoped to see
the most popular girl in the world
chai .i terue the charming lass of the
heather and that she will forever im-
mortalize the typical winsomness of
Scotland's fair daughters with char-
act T«stie effectiveness is readily ex-
pe.'t1. However, the wonderful heart
appeal as well as dramatic finesse dis-
play e | in' 'The Pride of the Clan"
make-, it an offering that will prove of
universal appeal. During her long and
brilliant career on the screen 'l ittle
Mary" has portrayed characters of a
number of different nationalities, her
recent photoplay, Less Than the
Dust" having met with record-break-,
ing success throughout the entire
country. It is a long way from the
bank.-, of the Ganges to the wind blown
fields of Scotch heather, but it is a trip
that Miss Pickford has taken in the
interval between Less Than the Dust"
and The Pride of the Clan," a story!
of the northwest coast of Scotland. ;

pictures present Ilolbrook BHnn and
Ethel Clayton in The Hidden Scar."
Loathing th life she is compelled to
live, Janet Hall, a very- young mother,
is partially repaid by the man who
wronged her when he leaves his home]
and money to her at his death. For the
following few years her life is a model
of goodness and charity. In love with
her and her daughter, Dale Overton
proposes marriage and is accepted.
Their happiness is almost shattered by I
the uncovering of The Hiddden Scar"
but Stuart Doane, who was Dale's fav-
orite instructor at school and knew
the whole story of Janet's past strug-
gles, comes forward at an opportune
time and shows Dale the proper course
to follow his Leader's The first 2
rl*els of the famous $10,000 sequel to
"The Diamond from the Sky" that had
such a successful run at the Met last
year, will also be shown. Two reels will

Early Victory Assured.
We will not temporize. In Decem-
ber, 1914, the Sixthy-third Congress
j gave n majority vote in the Lower
I House for the Hobsori Amendment. If
j in a reasonable length of time Con-
j cress does not submit this Amend-
ment we will invoke the States for
I direct action. The Legislatures of
j Thirty-two States can call a Consti-
tutional convention and the Legisla-
tures of Thirty-six States can ratify
I their action without the consent of
Congress. We can control the Legis-
latures of forty states. This prohi-
bition amendment to the Constitution
at an early date is now a certainty.
The Real Issue.
The duty of Congress is plain. We do
ask Congress to make the country dry j
by statute, but we demand of Con-j
gress the right of referendum. A
j member of Congress may oppose rat- j
