Lovers of realism are given an ex
quisite love story and good dramatic
presentation at the -Palace Theatre
^vhere the Edgar Lews-Pathe feature,
‘‘A Beggar in Purple” is showing for
the last time tonight It deals with
men, money and morals and proves,
that honest, homely virtue Is, after
all, the secret of real success and
happiness. Yet it is not a eonven-j
tional feature, for Edgar Lewis has i
given it an attention both to detail ■
and to scope which lifts it way
above the usual in photoplays.
Mr. Lewis has before proven his
ability to creat situations which
jtull at the heart strings. “A Beg
gar in Purple” has this sympathetic!
quality in abundance, yet relieved by j
fcomedy bits of wholesome laughter.!
The story follows the career of aj
man who has devoted his life to I
building a corporation through which
he can bring about the ruination of I
a business rival, whose selfishness,
years before, had caused Ills mother's
Heath. At the break of success, an
accident occtw which literally ren
ders him a beggar in purple; but the|
love of his secretary proves a flam
ing light in his night of despair.

LAST TIME AT COLISEUM
A series of mysterious robberies
strikes terror to the fashionable,
feay throngs which crowd Monte |

on a number of people. There is
Irene, daughter or Lord and Lady
C’arfour, a gambler by inheritance.
There is Archie Lowndes, in love
with Angela Brentwood, niece and
ward of the Carfours.
Archie’s love is reciprocated, but
the Carfours favor Beauvais, and
force the girl into an engagement.
Archie, in despair, resorts to roul
ette. and loses everything. From
this point the story develops thrilling
in "Foolish Monte Carlo" at the
Coliseum for the last time tonight.

AT PALACE TOMORROW
Tim dynamic personality of Prls
cilia Dean has never been given such
forceful expression on the screen as
in “Under Two Flags," the Universal
Jewel production of Ouida's famous

the action of the story takes place.
A portion of the town of Algiers,
with a faithful reproduction of the
French barracks there, was built at
the big studio. Members of the cast
lived "in character” for several:
months. Miss Dean herself became j
so accusomed to the costumes of the
play that it was difficult for her to
readjust herself to habits of normal !
life when not actually working before!

dull, indescribable feeling, making
you weary and restless; piercing
pains shoot acroEs the region of the
kidneys, and again the loins are so
lame that to stoop is agony. No use
to rub or apply a plaster to the
back If the kidneys are weak. You
cannot reach the cause. Juneau resi
dents would do well to profit by
the following example.
Mrs. Ellen Williksou, 338 11th
3t., Astoria, Ore., says: “I was sub
ject to attacks of backache and If |
I overworked my kidneys troubled
me. 1 telt tirt^l out and had no
energy and dizzy spells and head
aches were frequent. I knew my
kidneys were the cause of the
trouble so 1 used Doan's Kidney
Pills and they proved to be Just
what I needed. I was soon re
lieved of the backaches and my en
ergy was restored. I felt better in
every way and my kidneys acted
naturally and regularly."
