LYCEUM TONIGHT Daily_,Fashjon\ 'Talks BY MAYiMANTON The brightest lines George Cohan ever found in “Broadway Jones,” which Wwill be the attraction this week at the Lyceum, opening this evening and with matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoon. “Broadway Jones” the theatrical world as Cohan’s best work, The characte are the sort that appeal and command the closest of attention. “Jackson Jones,” who earns the sobriquet of “Broadway Jones,” is a magazine of fun and his explosions follow in rapid succession. As he runs his killing pace, scatter- ing his money and sunsaine, he pro- vokes continuous roars of laughter. The situations into which he gets him- self and the clever manner of get- ting out of them make up the finest | evening's entertainment to be had. The rapid fire repartee is unequalled. | After the inheritance of a million or more, ‘“Jones’” dashes for New York. He hits the high spots, making friends ver he goes, and it is not long he hag the whole town up-side- because of his antics. TUpon awakening one morning he finds him- self “broke.” The rude shock does not upset his resourcefulness. “Jones likes the life and refuses to think of returning to his old 'nome town to settle down to a mere existence and resolves to marry for money. A matrimonially inclined widow with wealth is his prey, but just at the opportune moment Jones’ pal inter- venes and the spring and winter nuptials are called off. b The pass exchange privilege is available tonight and Tuesday night.

The above is one of the tense situations in the dramatic war photoplay, “In the Name of the Prince of Peace,” which will be shown at Fox's today and tomorrow. It is a play unusual in plot, stor and action which you will find e ceedingly interesting. The deadly se- 8579 Blouse with Vest Effect, 24 to 42 bust.

This blouse is a very pretty one with a little vest that ailows effective use of contrasting material. It is simple too, meaning no difficulty for making, and equally pretty for wear with the odd skirt, with the tailored suit, or when made with skirt to match,' for a simple one-piece gown. In the pictur the material is embroidered cotton cr combined with piqué, and that combina- tion of a thin material with a heavy one makes a noticeable feature of the new models.

This production which ran for a long time in New York during its first season, has since made a tour of the United States. Maurice Mae- terlinck wrote “The Rlue Bird” pri- marily as a poetic fairy fantasy. He chose as his theme the quest by two poor children for the Blue Bird, the symbol of happiness. In this quest they visit such gorgeous realms a: the Land of Memory, the Kingdoms of the Past and of the Future, the Palace of Night and the Vale of Hap- pines Finally, returning to their own humble cot, they find the Blue Bird where they least expected it. Th delightful jeu d’esprit of the poet’s imagination has been taken by theatrical producers as the basis ol a series of magnificent spectacles equally appealing to grown-ups and to children. Jack London’s popular novel, “The Sea Wolf,”” has -been made into a play and will be produced at the Parsons theater for the first time on any stage Friday evening. The dra- matization is the work of Joseph Noel and Guy Bolton. William J. Wilson, erstwhile stage director of the New York Hippodrome, is staging the production and the management is in the hands of Ben Stern. The en- gagement will be for two nights with a matinee on Saturday afternoon. The sale of seats begins on Wednesday.
