I found it in the cellar ofl the Murkman house—beneath the basement window!” He came a $tep toward her. “Last night you asked me how I was going to ex- plam the presénce of the ‘mysteri- ous woman' in the story.

S eee— LAST TIME TONIGHT TO SEE AND HEAR “NOTHING BUT TRUTH" “Nothing But the Truth,” at the Coliseum for the last time thit evening is a favorite of farce suc- cesses revamped for the screen anc refurnished with newer and better comedy situations and ah adequate trimming of music, singing and dancing. Dix plays the part of the young man who makes a wager that hc can tell nothing but the truth for 24 consecutive hours. He wins the bet after going threugh a veritable circus of bizarre and uproariously amusing situations. The play is chockfull of rich humer and does not lag for an instant. Helen Kane's singing In her fa- mous ‘“baby-talk” manner is an agreeable feature of the production. She turns in a fine comedy charac- terization, as do Louis John Bartels, Ned Sparks, Berton Churchill and Wynne Gibson. - NOTICE TO EAGLES Special meeting of Douglas Aerie 117, F. O.
