The last time I had laoked upon the _face of Allen Drake I was in the hall of my own home bidding him a courteous farewell after the overnight visit to the old Brennan house he had made us upon Dicky’s invitation. I had discovered that it was an invi- tation Allen Drake had engineered in order to meot me, when, taking advan- tage of Dicky’s temporary abscnce had taxed me with belng Robert Gor- don’s daughter, and had demanded my father's address, Feaning that he meant some harm to my father, who had sworn me to secrecy as to his identity before he sailed for South America, I had pre- and had told Mr, Drake emphatically that I did not know Mr, Gordon's ad- dress.

The story is a sweet, pretty romance, done so ex- quisitely and artistically that it will delight every pure-minded person Wha is fortunate enough to see it. The stars are Tyrone Power, who America’s foremost critic calls the world’s greatest actor, and Frances Burnham, oné of photoplay’ stars and who is altogether s and delightfully sweet in her charac- terization of Lorelei.

JAPANESE ACTOR ON LYCEUM SCREEN Two motion pictures differing more from cach other than the two features on the program at the Lyceum thea- ter today, Tuesday and Wednesday can liardly be imagined. “The Call of the FEast” in which Sessue Haya- kawa, the most famous Japanese con- tribution to the film ol is as intensely dramatic as one could desire while its partner on the list, | “Oh, Doctor,” starring Fatty Ar- | buckle, the massive comedian, is just | a continuation of snickers, progran and the silent art | is offered 4 fons of the are represented.

He is as distinctive as Doug- Jas Fairbanks, starring where uproar- jous hilarity is demanded. In *'Oh, Doctor,” his latest offering, Arbuckle again shows a class of work that earns him the right to head the list on any progrim. As for Tayakawa, nothing need be dawned upon me.

Harry Underwood Passes. “Poker face, Madge,” warned Lil- lian softly. “You're getting a too interested. ing. Has her ladyship found the per- son she’s been looking for?” “I think so,” I returned with a swift mental tribute to Lillian’s seem- ing omniscience. How had she ever divined, len Drake was Draper's quest? “Tell me what she’s doing,” Lillian asked,. sandwiching her low-toned de- mand between animated sentences in Spanish to Katherine and to Mr. Ca- bineros. She was superb in the man- ner in which she played her part of an elderly Latin-American woman. “She talking to your hus—DMr Underwood—" 1 could have bitten my tongue through at my own gaucherie, but Lillian showed no sign of having noticed my words, “evidently asking him to do something.” “She wants him to find someone who will introduce her to Allen Drake,” Lillian asserted confidently. “You'll see Harry get up in a minute and go to the front of the cafe in search of someone who knows | Drake.” Her words were prophetic. Harry Underwood did rise fram his seat and stroll toward the front of the cafe. But in my absorption in the drama— for I felt it to be such—unfolding be- | fore my eyes, 1 forgot to lower my eyes as he was passing our table.

In cutting the dress the home seamstress 1is saved much after work by placing the sections marked by triple “TTT’’ perforations along the lengthwise fold of n}aterial as shown in the guide.

FARNUM-CHAPLIN AT FOX'S THEATER | For an all-around good show, com- bining the best of dramatic and comic talent in the motion-picture field, it would be hard to rival the present ilow at Fox's. Two big featureés are on the program, including Franklin Tzrnum in “The Winged Mystery,” and Charlie Chaplin, who will be seen sn “Tilli's Punctured Romance.” Young Farnum is the third of the f rous Farnum family to make a big name for himself on the screen, and he is certainly a credit to his brothers, William and Dustin, and in “The Winged Mystery,” which is a blg Blue- bird hit, one of those pictures that keep you puessing from start to fin- ich, he does some great work.

Louise succinctly, “the ants Mrs. G. knew must have been a lot more timid. You could see these didn’t like it, and they'd get round it if they could. and at first I thought it was going to do. But then I tried it out by putting some sugar on the shelf and drawing a line about it and leavng it all night.
