Ramon is introduced with mous- tache and monocle, in the very| height of fashion in London, but after he meets THE girl he discards | both and tries to live down his past with results that land him in| many trials and tribulations.

[ Attraction s Plans Ocean Flig!\t | At Theatres e | “MOTHER’S BOY” IS | | AT COLISEUM, TONIGHT | 2 2 | | | | \ 1 A singer of brilliance and an ac- tor of attractive personality and mimetic talent, Morton Downey, who created a sensation in the Club Casanova in New York, is seen in Pathe talking and singing' pic- ture “Mother's Boy,” a Robert T. Kane production at the Coliseum for the last two times tonight. “Mother’s Boy,” written by Gene Marker, is the story of a young tenement dweller in New York who begins his career as a delivery boy in a delicatessen store. His singing attracts the attention of a poor violinist who undertakes to train him for an operatic career. Owing to & theft committed by his rascally brother, he quits his home under a cloud and while his doting mother grieves for him, he carves out his career and wins. -There is a strong love interest in the story which has been finely developed.

After the international board permitted districts to effect settle- ments, Fishwick, with the approval of his board, accepted a lower wage scale of $6.10. The old scale, the Jacksonville wage, was $7.50 a day. Lewis ‘disapproved of ‘the settle- | ment.
