A note of pathos is struck in “The Yellow Typhoon,” when a maid leaps into the river to end her life because her sweetheart wrote her that he could marry her. The scene shown in the First National picture, Harold Mec- Grath’'s greatest adventure story in which Anita Stewart stars. The pic- ture will be shown at the Palacee theater on Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday. Sitting on a bench in a park near the Hudson river in New York she reads the letter over and over again until her numbed brain finally grasps its import. Still dazed and numbed by her bitter grief, sho throws ofr her cloak and stumbles rather than walks to selt in. This is one of the keyv points in *“The Yellow Typhoon,” the story of two sisters, one bad and the other good, the bad one supposed to be dead, hecause when the body of the not | maid is found she had on her mis- tress’ garments. Thus it is that one girl disappears from the world, only to turn up later, bringing out one of the greatest mysteries ever set forth in pictures. The the first half of the week features the “Four Casting Mellos,™ with the world’'s champion lady acrobat. DR. THOMAS RESIGNS. President of Middlebury College Called To Penn State.

Two big feature pictures are slated for the entertainment of the Sun- day evening patrons at Fox's theater, one being Vivian Martin in “His Offi- cial Fiancee,” and “Wanted at Head- - ' quarters,” with beautiful Eva Novak in the leading role. In addition there will be the Gaumont News and also the latest episode of the serial “Fan- tomas.” Beginning Monday, a four- act vaudeville bill will be presented, the feature being Miss Dena Cooper and company in a one-act playlet en- titled “Christmas Eve.” This comes highly recommended as da the other acts on the program. In a nutshell, this is the “His Official Fiance to have a bride-to-be story of The man had quick! The girl of the theaters or atnoties are written by the press such the characters are peculiarly American, The sacrifices undergone by the mother of a brood of six, her patience in endeavoring to correect their short-comings and rear them to sturdy manhood and womashood entitle this dramatic version of “Over the Hill" to the honor of being classified as the Great American drama for which critics long have sought. . had to have money, so when the man offered her the proper inducement to pose as his intended wife, she held up her finger for the ring. Then a hun- dred troubles began for them both. Their little agreement became a joke —an embarrassment—a tragedy— and at last— “Wanted at Headquarters” shows Eva Novak as a girl whose only friends are crooks and whose life's game was crime; but she has her own ideals based on the moral code of the underworld. With the greatest coup she had ever planned at the point of culmination, a jackal turns on her. Her ideal is shattered. Her criminal friends proved faithless, she ‘has but one to whom she can turn, and he is a detective. Too proud to league with her professional enemy, she starts alone to defeat the crime in which she was lately a leader. This has all the thrills of a real melo- drama, combined, with the human _ interest of a good love story. . Monday brings Hugene O'Brien in “The Figurehead.” “THE NIGHT BOAT" COMEDY AT LYCEU Concluding théir fourth and final week at the Lycoum next week, Hoyt's Musical Comedy players will present the musical comedy revue, “The Night Boat.” Lew Brems an Felix Martin will star, and the cast will offer some new songs and dances.
