Then I sat down in the chair Dicky pulled out for me and looked attentively at Lil- lian. She had a rested look, as if she had had a good night's sleep, but her face was slightly flushed, and I guessed that she had been having an argument of some sort with Dicky. “Have you finished your breakfast, she asked her small want to run over to see Auntie Dur- kee for a few minutes?” Marion rapturously assented, and skimmed out of the room with her mother's eyes fondly following her. When the door had closed behind her, Lilllan turned to me, lowering her voice so that even so assidous a listener as Katie would have had no ice to overhear her. “The Dicky-bird chirps, she drawled, “that he is gzoing to make an effort to get back this house from the people to whom he sold it.

Mr. Stearns was cast in the comedy lead role last vear. Miss Stevens, who has a good part, has taken part in recent amateur productions and was seen to advant- age in the Y. W. C. A. production. Miss Kincaid, who has the ingenue role, also seems well cast, and the .'.xb“ily of Miss Bertini as a toe dancer is also well known.

Then her mother, coming out of obscurity, conceives the idea of blackmailing the daughter and her husband, feeling they would rather pay than have a social scandal. But here enters the father, himself a criminal, but with a spark of love for the daughter that does not know him. To warn the designing mother that he ;6 ever present to thwart her schemes, he makes use of the perfume of helio- trope. She, knowing his fondness for that odor, knows he is around when- ever she smells it. There are sensa- tional and touching scenes and the tragic climax comes when the woman, insane with anger, shoots the man that was her husband and father of her chill. She then turns the gun on herself. He dies happily, realizing that he has spared his ¢hild the sorrow of learning her real identity. WALLACE REID AT PALACE Titles of motion pictures are some- times said to be misleading, but the new Walld@le Reid Paramount picture, “The Charm School,” which will be shownu at the Palace theater next Thursday, Friday and Saturday is all that the title implies. It is a real charm picture, and its charms lies in several noteworthy features. First there is the work of the star, then the delightful story, a brisk, modern, breezy tale of the light comedy type, written by Alice Duer Miller, and the splendid supporting cast, headed by Lila Lee and including such favorites as Adele Farrington, Beulah Bains, Edwin Stevens, Grace Morse, Patricia Magee, Lincoln Sted- man and Kate Toncray. HOYT'S REVUE, IN “SCANDALS OF PLEASURE,” AT LYCEUM Hoyt's Revue, that popular musical company which is being so well re- ceived here, is presenting ““Scandals of Pleasure,” the first half of this week, and all the old favorites, including Felix Martnn and Lew Brems, are there. One of the atiractions of Hoyt’'s Re- vue is the Dream Chorus, which lives up to its name in every way. Every one of the girls is well adapted to the chorus work. Each one can both sing and dance well, and the entire number make up a combination that is unsur- passed among musical tabloid com- panies. Melvin and Meredith present an in- teresting dancing specialty. They are a pair of dancers who have made a hit wherever they have played with {vnim: of the arteries or heart failure | the company. Doris May and Douglas MacLean are the stars in the Paramount pic- ture, “What's Your Husband Doing?” the feature picture of the first half of the week. They are two unspoiled young pec, w' . abindant talénts, loads of viger and a knack of dis- pensin.; comedy without marring af- fectation or tricks. Miss May is naive without being kittenish. She ranks with Madge Ken- nedy as one of the few who can act a tipsy lady in thorough good taste and e oke gales of laughter. Mr. Mac- Lean is a clean cut, good looking chap, but apparently doesn’t let it prevent him from giving a wholly pleasing performance. “The Thirteenth Commandment,” also a Paramount picture, will be the feature for the second half of the ONEY”||**" —___ e FINE SHOW AT PADACE The Palace is offering an exccllent Lz AMERICA'S PRETTIEST PLAvnousE T\C APITOL FOX’S NOW PLAYING on't say we di This is just to remind yéu ladies judge a man by the king The Kibbe Buffet Box has most fastidious—and leaves that is not soon forgotten. ° are of double thickness, righ a ters gre specially selected foy p box also contains Jordan ‘s caramels and delicious prese Kibbe Chocolates are dipp hand or even a finger touche: doubtless carries them in man; as Kibbe Social Whirls, Co Venetians, Pure Sugar Patti name. .
