Yards of jet beads in double strands are employed for the illuminating of this gown. The garniture, crossing between shoulders and armtops, is square with huge cobochons which, in turn. are joined with five loose-falling strands of beads. Extra double strands dropping from the bust line, back and front, are connected at the base of the hips, where the brocade seamed over the tulle foundation of the skirt, and fall as single tassels down either side of the figure to the krnees. Overskirt or Train?—Both. Medlaeval simplicity of design dis- | tinguishes 'a coral and silver brocade | whose underslip of two straight widths of the material is trimmed from bust tc knees with a double row of silver garnishing. These rows, when joined below the knees, form an exagger- aiedly long and slender point down the i(‘r‘nter of the front. At the back the silver trimming. starting at the shoul- ders, outlines a sharp V-shaped decol- i lete little cape of the brecade hiding i This, running over and partly hiding a rather wide belt, ends as a narrow peint on the hips of a wide-flowing trzin of the material. Starting at the waist line this train takes the form of an overskirt with | open fronts dtopping to the hips and gradually lengthening at the sides as {it ripples toward the back. The bro- caded bodice, blousing a trifle over the girdle, at front has flesh tulle elbow sleeves and the V decolletage outlined with folds of flesh tulle, which cross the shoulders broadly, but at back taper to accord with the pointed cut- out of its cape effect. 'ORGAN RECITALS A FEATURE AT FOX'S | In conjunction with the opening ot {the mammoth §$10,000 orchestral or- {gan today at Fox a bill of photo- | plays of the highest order has been |arranged. As an added attraction and { for the lovers of music a recital will ibe given both afternoon and evening, and while at the present time the theater organist will render them, it is the intention of the management to secure some of the most popular arganists for these occasions. Re- quests for musical selections which the patrons may desire to have played for them, will be welcomed, and the management will be only too willing to cater to thase who may send these requests to the theater. Further an- nouncements as to the organ recitals will be made later, and Fox patrons will do well to watch the columns of this paper for future information. The big feature production for to- day and”tomorrow is “Alfred Sutro’s play of modern society, “The Walls of Jerricho,” picturized from. the James K. Hackett success produced at the Hackett theater, New York. The story is a modernization and a practical application of the Biblical story “When the Priests blew their trumpets, the walls of Jerricho fell down flat.”” This masterpiece of dra- matic literature is a powerful screen vehicle for Edmund Breese, lately starred on Broadway in “The Master Mind,” and remembered as the orig- inal John Ryder in “The Lion and the Mouse.” In the “Walls of Jer- richo” as Jack Frobisher, the rich Australian sheep raiser who marries a noblewoman, he cries “tearing down the walls obscuring his wife’s heart and soul. I've been poor, foolish Jack who didn’t piay cards or waltz. But the first fop who came along, the first smirking dandy, who could whisper and ogle, and tell you a tit- bit of scandal, he was amusing and pleasant. He thought it right that vou should lose hundreds at cards and spend a fortune on dress. Your Dbrother seduces a girl—you are in- dignant with me because I befriend her. The people around you—the poor, the helpless, the sick—to these vou never give a thought. You are a peer’s daughter, sent into the worid to enjoy yourself, have a good time with Dallases round to flirt with. Tt has been pleasure, pleasure, pleasure from morning till night, from one vear’s end to another. Well, 1 to — with all this ¢ wife, not my mistres: mate and a partner. rotten life. go back to nature, and start things over again.” This de- {scribes onli one scene of this dra- matic masterpiece, and through the capable handling of the stellar part by Mr. Breese supported by such pop- ular screen favorites as Claire Whit- {ney and Stuart Holmes, the produc- tion must be an excellent one. The Pathe Weekly, depicting the latest war news, and other important hap- i penings the world over. and Mary { Pickford, are also offered on today’s j program.

Y. Dr. Page becomes involved in a do- mestic tangle through a deviation lfrom truth. An honest explanation of conduct in a trivial matter would save him from a succession of com- plications that produce a series of most interesting situations. They are uniquely handled and their de- velopment provoke roars of laughter. The comedy is clean and wholesome and will be enjoyed. Interwoven ‘is a fine love element that is delightfully pleasing. Mr. Harlan assumes the character of Dr. Page and Mr. Wright will present the character of Dr. La- tham. Manager Birch assumes the trole of Col. Larivette, an amorous Frenchman. Miss MacDonald will conclude her engagement with the Players this week in the character of Mrs. Page. Miss Bolton will assume the character of Odette and Mrs. Hib- bard is cast in congenial lines. Evening prices will prevail for the Thanksgiving matinee. A matince performance will be given Tuesday afternoon. | FASHION HINTS BY MAY MANTOY S . SN SN SN S S ES SNNNINNSS S s SN 8463 Two-Piece Skirt with Russian “ Tunic, 24 to 30 waist. This tunic with the plaited panel is one of the very newest. It is exceedingly smart in its lines, it is becoming to most figures and since the skirt is laid in an inverted plait at each seam, it provides comfortable fullness while it still retains fashionable lines. Here gabardine is used throughout but this is essentially a season of combinations and a handsome and fashionable effect could be obtained by making the skirt or lower portion of the skirt, of satin or any similar material that contrasts well with the tunic. The finish may be made at either the high or the natural waist line. The plaited panels are separate from the tunic itself and joined to it; therefore, if liked they, as well as the skirt, can of a con- trasting material and _that feature is an especially good one in view of the many gowns that will require renovating this season.

BARREL OF FLOUR GIVEN AT KEENEY 'S The announcement of the giving away of a barrel of flour at every performance during the week at Keeney's as a special Thanksgiving feature is attracting considerable attention and the management fis receiving general praise for its plan to assist in solving the high cost of living problem.

The Old Folks’ Birthday BY RUTH CAMERON. AR WML~ forgot to send her send it to her to- ir of great virtue in “There, vesterday was mother's birthday and 1 anything. I'll get her something real nice and meorrow,” 1 heard a girl say the other day with an having finally remembered. It was evident that she hadn’t always remembered mother’s even with the lukewarm remembrance of the day after. T wonder if her mother forgot her birthday until the doubt it, don't you? But young folks' birthdays are different, you say, 1 agree. Quite dif$ ferent. The young girl probably has so many birthdays that it wouldn't matter if one were forgotten, while her mother’s birthday may be one of a few precious anniversarics that are left her daughter to make happy. What about the old folks' birthdays in vour home, reader friend? Do you make them occasions of very special rejoicing that you still have these precious presences with you? Or do you remember them the day aft and get a warmed over present? Or do you remember them the week after and think “Next year I'll be more thoughtful!” How many homes there are in which the children's birthdays celebrated with candles and feasting and presents even after they grown up, while the old folks' anniversaries slip by unnoticed or marked by a gift or two, probably of some family necessity! ¢ To my mind the remembrance of a gift is not alone enough for father's or mother's birthday. Think of the times they, espe- cially mother, have planned little celebrations for you. Why shouldn’t you turn about and plan for them? It isn't just the gifts that make your birthday pleasant, is jt? It's the good wishes and the cake and candles, the laughter and the holiday spirit, and perhaps most of all the atmosphere of special tenderness and forbearamce that makes the dey peculiarly sweet, It's pleasant even for the most modest of us to find our- selves in the center of the stage now and then. And that is an opportunity ithat the old folks seldom have. They're generously willing to set the stage and turn on the limelights and act as stage manager and aundience combined for the young folks. But don’t you think, just for a change, they'd like to be in the limelights once in awhile. Somehow I feel they'd Just love it. 1 know of a dear little mother whose utter unselfishness has made her children careless about such things. A time when they (hought thg might never have another chance to be unselfish waked them up and the next anniversary was celebrated with all the pretty ceremonies they could devise, all “the sporting of fine raiment, eating of rich meats and receipts of gifts, compliments’'and copies of verse, according to the manner of our ancestors. Her childlike joy and surprise were the sweotest, most poignant reproach she could have given them. Her birthdays will neger go unremembered again, And father, too, (I sometimes wonder if fathers aren't neglected than mothers in such respects, because the mother lies so mu~h nearer the surface) is to be feted when his comes. Perhaps you think your father and inother are too sensible, too busy, or too old to care for such things. Perhaps they are. But all I have to say, reader friend, is—just —THE POPULAR SHOE STORE THANKSGIVING - SHOES N FOR birthday day aflter. 1 are have are even more tenderness anniversary - try v MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN Shoes That Satisfy Prices That Please Courteous Service and Proper Fitting AISHBERG,, The Shoeman, ASK THE GLERK FGR S, & H.
