For the latter part of the week, starting on Thursday, the Lyceum will present Jack Pickford in his latest comedy drama, “Waking Up the Town.” “Is a man or woman more constant?” In “Tides of Pas- sion,” Charity waits 11 years for her husband to return, but Joas walts 11 years for Charity's “Yes." “THE SWAN"” AT CAPITOL What is a “Swan"? A swan is a girl-snob who wants to be regular and doesn't know how. At least, that's the impression one carries away with him after seeing the Paramount picture, “The Swan,” now at the Capitol. The Keith vaudeville bill for this half of the week is a wonder. Top- ping the show is the Hamilton Sis- ters and Fordyce in “Playtime,” a great offering done by three very clever girls; Kennedy and Kramer offer “Dancing Items;” Mary Man- son is a clever character comedienne Eddie White and Co. offer new songs | at the plano; and Zeno, Moll and Carl offer a splendid gymnastic act.

Of the work of the in- genue, Miss Gilda Krcegan, a great deal cannot be snid.

Alling re- served decision yesterday afternoon in the trial in city court of David Segall against Angelo Gagllardl, Se- gall, the plaintlff, brought action agalnst Gagllardl to recover posses- sion of the premises at 817 Main street because of the alleged viola- ton of the liquor law by the defend- ant. Segall was represented by B, F. and Donald Gaffney. Atty. Edward A. Mag represented the defendant. Few witnesses were called outside of the two parties most interested in the case, and arguments were over at an early hour, The plaintift contended that Gagliardl was leased the place for a shoe shine parlor, and that when it gained the repu- tation of being a liquor joint, then and there the terms of the lease were violated and the lease became either vold or voldable. The lease has still more than two years to run. The defense maintained that when Gugliardi was convicted in previous years for the selling of liquor, the plaintiff should have terminated the lease. Now, it was held by the de- fense, there 18 no liquor being sold on the premises, there is no nuisance and it is too late to try to oust the defendant, Atty. Mag endeavored to show that there were numerous parties trying to rent the premises from the plain- tiff at a higher rental than that of the lease now in effect, and that this was the reason for Segall's effort, to terminate the lease, but counsel for the plaintift objected to his long string of questions, the objections being in every instance sustained by | Judge Alling. Both sides intimated that an ap peal would be taken should a verdict | be rendered against them.
