But I can tell vou there is no doubt he is a most dangerous performer.

I have had a sneaking idea that things were —well—queer in that particular di- rection for some time. 1 can give you his name now, but his address I shall have to look up.” “That will keep,” Lillian replied “just 0 I know that T can get it at any time I need it. But here is something which will not keep many minutes. Smith made a little excur sion from your house last night, and in the excursion lamed himself, we be- lieve, quite severely. He managed to get back to vour house, but we do not believe he will be abhle to take a step this morning. “I haven't seen him yet this morn ing." Mr. Briggs said reflectively, “but then that is nothing startling. In these times it is the unlucky farmer who has to arise early. The hired man takes his time about getting out of bed.” 3 “1 faney he will take a good deal of time this morning.” Lillian said, with a grim little smile, “"and we expect him to ask you which is the best physician, or which doctor you em- ploy. If you can do us the great favor of saying Dr. Pettit, so as to insure that physiclan’s attendance upon Smith, you will be doing us a great service. For Dr. Pettit is working with me upon this particular case and, therefore, it is imperative that he be given this chance of reckoning up the man Smith" Mr. Briggs smiled widely “As it happens, I shan't for as most who eves have to stretch my conscience the fractional When Your Little Child cries at night, tosses rest- lessly and mutters in its sleep, is constipated, fretful and feverish, or has symptoms of worms, you feel worried and Lave your night's rest disturbed by the little one's crying, or perhaps becanse of your own anxiety.

Mre Woodpacker flew to her neigh- bor Mrs. Flicker's tree and rapped, tap-tap-tap-tap. She didn’t rap gent- ly. either. She was not in a gentle mood. She intended to find out why Mrs. Flicker had called to Reddy Woodpecker, . “Good morning, my dear!" Mrs Flicker promptly head out of her door. “My husband is not at homs,” she said.

She wasn't used to being called madam’ She could see that Mrs. Woodpecker was furious. She wanted to be friends with Mrs. Woodpecker. “You and Mr. Woodpecker look very much alike,” Mrs. Flicker said to her angry caller “When one of you peeps out of your house it's hard to tell who's who. Just now when T came to my doorway, I conld see only your head. And T thought it was vour hus- band. When T spoke to your husband stuck her was just as he sajd a few minutes ago, I thought it was you." Mrs. Woodpecker stared at her neighbor for a few moments.

LYDIA E i\ -E{:' j!"L W ar - l 1] A Unless otherwise indlca PALACE THEATER Again to large audiences yesterday, Norma Talmadge in “Smilin’ Through' convinced everyone that this photeplay production is the best that has ever been offered in this city sinee motion pletures were first shown here. Norma Talmadge portrays the best role of her entire career and one that you will be in sympathy with and remember for some time to come. Harrison Ford is her leading man and also plays a dual role to perfection. The Palace presentation of this won- derful picture is certainly splendid as an augmented symphony orchestra play the special music score very fine. Mrs. Mary T. Crean sings “Smilin’ Through” to great effect. And just a reverse of the tense drama in “Smilin’ Through’ are the screams of, laughter that Harold Lloyd causes in his new- est comedy, ‘‘Never Weaken.” For next week the Palace will present for the first time in this city an All Girl Vaudeville Show. This means that the acts comprising this bill will econ- sist entirely of young ladies. This no doubt will be a diftinct novelty. Starting next Sunday for four days, Round Three of “The Leather Puth- ers” will be offered. LYCEUM THEATER “8milin’ Through,” the fanecifu! play written by Allan Langdon Mar- tin, which made record runs in New York and Chicago and which is now being played by Jane Cowl at San Francisco, is literally charming audi- ences at the Lyceum theater this week. The play will conclude its run here Saturday night, and there will be matinees tomorrow and Saturday. Next week the Cormican Players will offer “Up In Mabel's Room’” one of the most popular farces ever written The play next week gives promise of equalling anything vet offered by the Cormican Players, although that will be extending it quite a bit to come up to the standard set by this week's performance of “Smilin’ Through.” Edna Archer Crawford in the dual roal of Kathleen Dungannon and Moonyeen Clare, takes the difficult ‘ipnr'rayals with apparent ease, and “SMILIN’ Eve:—53¢, 41c and 35c.

Mr. Starling reaches even heigher heights than those at. tained in last week's play, and al. though called upon to enact the lov- er of Moonycen and later the uncle of Kathleen, with a lapse of fifty years between the two characteriza- tions, he gives a very intelligent and finished portrayal of the role. Hor- ace James as Dr. Harding, John's life-long friend, is seen at his best, while George Campbell, a local boy, plays the part of Dr. Harding in early life to perfection. Rexford Kendrick as Kenneth Wayne and also, as Jere- miah Wayne, his own father, as it were, gives a very fine characteriza- tion of the difficult double role. FOX'S THEATER Two years ago Thelma Wells, daughter of Mr. and Mre. Charles Wells, was a pupil at the Elihu Bur- ritt school. One day her father mis- laid his watch and in the family ar- gument which ensued the little child calmly announced where it could be found. Her surprised father tried her aut on other simple tests border- ing on the psychic and as a result learned that his daughter had un- usual powers. Since then she has toured the entire country as a Shu- bert vaudeville star and tomorrow she will return to her home town to give a series of demonstrations at Fox's theater, where, several months ago, she pleased and astonished big audiences who came to ses her. The picture to be shown tomorrow is “Buck” Jones in ‘“Western Speed." Tonight will be the final showing of “Arabian Love, which is running “The Sheik'" a close second for popu- larity.
