ACADEMY "IP IX MABEL'S ROOM" "Up ln Mabel's Room." the farce that kepi all New York laughing for months, last season, will be presented at the Academy tomorrow night un der the direction of A. H. Woods. The play- has ben described as a frivolous farce of feminine foibles and is the work of Wilson Collison and Otto Har bach. It is in" three acts and the scenes are laid in a country house on Long Island. The story of the play deals with the farcical adventures of Garry Ainswortfo. a young benedict who is confronted on his honeymoon Vlth the evidence of , an old indiscre tion. The evidence in this case is a pink chemise which he had unwit tingly given to a beautiful and charm ing widow of whom he had been fond in his bachelor days. How the fateful chemise was finally captured and Gar ry's troubles brought to an end, can not be divulged without detracting from the 'interest of the play. Tickets are now on sale at the Wil mington Talking Machine company. ROYAL A genuine treat is promised the lov ers of worth while things in motion pictures in the forthcoming local pre sentation of Alan Dwan's newest pro duction "In the Heart of a Fool," which comes to the Royal beginning Monday, as a First Xational attraction. The Mayflower Photoplay corporation will present it. "In the Heart of a Fool" differs from the majority of offerings in the motion picture theatre in the fact that it is not an exaggerated story but. one tak en from the pages of the book of life. It tells of something that might hap pen to anyone. Its locale is laid in an ordinary small city and its characters are the same that we encounter in our own. circle of friends. But these characters are treated in a big way. There is a spectacular mine explosion affording the hero an oppor tunity for some gallant rescue work, and there is a realistic mob scene in which a horde of professional strike breakers from some big city invade the town in an attempt to drive the hero out. But the picture does not depend upon the spectacular for its punch as the story itself is. full of punch. . And there fs plenty of love interest and suspense, to say nothing of thrills. .William Allen White, the noted political writer, edi tor and novelist, is the author.

All the old methods of obtain ing thrills, whether they are called for or not, have been thrown overboard. GRAND TUESDAY Elsie Ferguson's latest photoplay, "Counterfeit." which is coming to the' Grand theatre for one day only, Tues day, is said to portray faithfully life in the homes of the rich at Newport.

Newport is the setting for the activities of the character played by Miss Ferguson a southern girl in the secret service seeking to capture a band of counterfeiters who have been traced to society's summer capital. A love story runs through the exciting incidents of the plot. The leading man is David Powell, and the vpicture was directed by George Fitzmauricc. VACCINATE DOGS ' PARIS, Feb. 10.
