Marie Walcamp in the thrilling serial
"The Red Ace," episode No. 6, "Fight-
ing Blood." This is one of the best
serials out and proves to be more in-
teresting each episode. L-Ko comedy
features "The Donkey Did It," always
good and enjoyed by a hearty laugh.

At the Idle Hour
Temperament is not the exclusive
porperty of prima donnas. Comedi-
ennes are entitled to a small share of
it So Alice Howell, the star of Cen-
tury Comedies, says at all events. To
get Alice to show some of her tem-
perament there are three good rules.
Call her "the female Charlie Chap-
lin," call her "the lady Douglas Fair-
banks" or call her "the skirted Max
Linder." Then listen to her rave.
"I don't want any borrowed
glory," insists the girl comedy star.
I am just as much a star in my own
way as the male fun-makers. If I'm
funny I don't need to be called by
anybody's name. The pubic will soon
find me out."
The public will, without question, if
they go to see her funniest Century
comedy, "Neptune's Naughty Daugh
ter," a two reel film at the Idle Houi
tonght.
Also a three-reel feature, the dar-
ing screen actress, Helen Gibson, with
Van Paul in "The Perilous Leap."

They are with the Ruby Darby show which shows at the Folly all this week.
I
At the Folly
Despite the sudden change in the
weather a capacity house greeted
Miss Darby at both performances last
night at the Folly to see "Baby Mine.'
Miss Darby was at her best in an en
tirely new role to anything she has
presented heretofore.
"Baby Mine" was certainly j
scream from start to finish. The mix
up of babies kept the audience in
one continual laugh.
Worthy of mention is Mr. Gene
Darby, younger brother of the popu
lar Miss Darby, who portrayed the
baby loving husband. Mr. Darby has
a wonderfully pleasing personality
also a voice far above the average.
He bids fair to become as popular as
his talented sister.
Tonight the company will present
another high class royalty play en-
titled "A Modern Eve." This bill by
the original company played 376 con-
secutive nights in Chicago. There are
larger companies but only one Ruby
Darby.
Prices remain the same.
Fine Show at the Strand
Mack's Musical Keview more than
lived up to their reputation yesterday
when they presented "Somewhere in
Hawaii," one of the most beautiful
tabloid productions ever seen in this
city. Three big houses witnessed this
show and all proclaimed it better than
Sunday's production. In fact this
company is making such a hit that the
Review Harmony trio was requested
to repeat some of the songs they
sang on the opening day.
Nig Shope was funnier than ever
and we look for him to become popu-
lar as a favorite in Drumright.
Ruth Gibbs, "The Bluest Girl,"
again stopped the show with her blues,
as did J. Wilbur Davis, the basso, with
his solos.
Thompson and Andrews were with-
out a doubt .the most perfect harmony
singing duo that has ever been heard
here, and the concertina playing was
wonderful. This team has the bearing
of grand opera stamped on their work,
and should be heard by every music
lover in the city.
As we mentioned in Monday's edi-
tion we would like to hear Miss Maude
Sheldon sing something heavy, and
she did yesterday. And we wish to
statet hat she more than lived up to
our expectations, for she not only has
a big voice, but a beautiful one. Her
rendition of "Beautiful Roses" was
the most pleasing selection we have
heard in a long time.
The popular numbers were handled
by Miss Helen Burg, Miss Alice Van
Dorn, Miss Eva Lamont, Miss Maude
Sheldon and Miss Ruth Gibbs and
every one of them took several en
cores. All in all Mack's Musical Re-
view is the greatest singing show that
has even been seen here, and if their
work keeps up to the present standard
Drumright has some wonderful per-
formances in store for its theater-
goers. We will be there every night.

was commonly asked, "Who will take
Mrs. Ware's place?" We all answered
"No one, for no one could," but Mrs.
Vaughan, who has been assistant to
Mrs. Ware for several weeks, will
have the hearty support of all the
sewing room workers and Mrs. Ware
is assured we will all do our best dur-
ing her absence.
Mr. L B. Grant, president of the
Grant Lumber company, has donated

A nation-wide movement in Junior
Red Cross work was made from Feb
ruary 12 to 22 to make the Ameri
can schools 100 per cent for Junior
Red Cross. However, the Drumright
schools were in advance of the move-
ment and each has already a Junior
Red Cross auxiliary, the chapter
school committee being comprised of
the following members: Supt. W. C
French, chairman; Miss Elizabeth
Kirk, treasurer; Miss Mayme Miller,
Miss Marline Ray, Miss Dora Brown,
Mr. M. P. Cooley, school principals.
Mr. Hunter, manual training director,
and Miss Sylvia Maher, teacher of
domestic art, have both materially
aided the junior department by their
professional training. Miss Bertha
Kirk, treasurer, is the physical direc-
tor of the Drumright schools, and has
active charge of the work.
