In addition there are four vaudeville acts headed with a one act playlet en- titled “Christmas Eve” and produced by Miss Dena Cooper and company. The other three acts are Stanley Brothers, dancing a la scramble; The Frolics, a jazzy number; and Pierce and Gillmore, a musical act. “The Figurehead,” - the feature movie tells a powerful story of politi- cal intrigue and gives to Eugene O'Brien an opportunity for the real acting at which he is so capable. Fol- lowing along the line of the old adage that the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world, Anna Nllsson, who supports Mr. O’Brien, declares her part gives her just the chance she wants to express this ideal O'Brien, as Sherry Dows, an idle young man about town, is induced to accept the nomination for mayor, running against a saloonkeeper and head of the political ring. Dows was picked as a figurehead candidate, to be easily beaten, Dows himself takes it lightly until, fired by love, he conducts a vigorous campaign, gives the political bosse some sleepless nights and in the end, against frameups and intrigue, he hits out in true man fashion and carries the day. Four hundred persons were used in the filming of this spectacular reel. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Tom Mix will be shown in “Prairie Trail.” B — HOYT'S MUSICAL COMEDY PLAYERS IN FINAL BILLS fs the fourth and final week present engazement of Hoyt's musical comedy players at the Ly- ceum. For the first half of the week, “The Night Boat” will be presented, and “Wine, Woman and Song” s iof- fered as the concluding play. “Wine, Woman and Seng” was presented dur- ing the previous engagement of the company and is repeated again be- cause of its ormer success here. Whenever a photoplay production bears the imprint of Thomas H. Ince's direction, then the American screcn This of the of the theaters or atnoti~es are written by the press fans look for something extraordinary. *That seems to have become the rule i since Mr. Ince presented such screen triumphs as “Civilization,” “The Guil- ty Man” and “False Faces.” That Mr. Ince is making great strides forward was amply shown today at the Ly- ceum when his latest production, ‘‘Be- hind the Door,” starring that virile player, Hobart Bosworth, was dis- played. The story of “Behind the Door,” written by Gouverneur Morris has af- forded Mr. Ince plenty of scope for the employment of his genius as di- rector of great spectacles. It is a story the Jofical development of which holds one spellbound from start to finish. ™~ Norma Talmadge is coming to the Lyceum Thursday, Friday ana Sat- urday in “The New Moon,” a story of Russia and the fight of its women for their inherent right of personal Ifb- erty. Miss Talmadge is seen in the role of a Pr ss who later assumes the disgulse ®f a peasant girl and leads a revolt. Stuart Holmes and Pedro de Gbfloba appear with Miss Talmadge in presenting this thrilling story. MIDGET POLICEMAN AT PALACE.

Yet no great sa- vant has ever denied that there is mystery, deeper than he can solve, in when our bodies lie a-slumber and the mind is free to r:om through the mazes of the night. The science of the anclents took dreams seriously. Plato called them “prophetic visions.” The dream of the Phareo {8 writ in eternal letters in the Bible and its interpretation is one of the revered pages of the Holy Book. “Bad liver”—"indigestion”— “quickened heart action,” say today’s matter-of-fact physicians.
