Chilcote, In the frenzy of morphia, seeks [ out Loder aud proposes tnat they exchange places. Loder refuses. Chilcott collapses and his man Brock pleads with Louer to represent him as the speaker or an important issue in Par,lament thai nig!:t. Lured by the opportunby I.odei consents and carried sway by the cans' for which he pleads scores a great trl umph.

mate stag* she would appear in a play written fur herself. The interesting event has arrived. "The IV bite lVacock,” the long-awaited Petrova play, will begin a limited engagement >it tin* Shubeft-Murat f. r two nights, beginning Friday, with matinee Saturday. The play has as its heroine a woman of fine fi-eliug and keen mentality. Kevette <li Uiberey Santallos. wife of Ib-a Miguel, chief justice in Seville. Kevette has left her husband rather than condone his infidelities. She is an artist, capable of taking care of herself; she is happy p, her independence. Don Miguel, leaving for Madrid to tujve a place in the cabinet, protests that Biwette must return to him, bet sli* will have nothing more to do with him. On Miguel's trail conies young Don di Gondoza y Fonzales, an escaped eouvlct, with a price on his head, convicted i.f the murder of his father, a political rival of Dan Miguel; arul though D -n Caesar's heart Is full of revenge he stays to woo Revette. He bides his time, waiting to meet Rafael Roderiguez, one of Don Miguel's henchmen, who, he believes, Is really his father's murderer. Rafael, a brute at heart, is also attracted to Revette. Over the conflict between these three men Revette hovers until the exciting climax that results in Rafael's ignominious death aud Don Miguel's hurried departure to escape being involved in the scandal. The end shows Revette pressing to her lips a hopeful, passionate letter from Dan Caesar.

THERE’LL BE A CROWD at KEITH’S NEXT WEEK -HERE’S THE REASON YOUNG AMERICA! You'll enjoy this one-act play of American boyhood, for , it’s filled with gongs, dances, comedy bits and special scenery. Bennie Sweeney, who typifies “Young America.” has a part which every boy with blood in his veins will like. The other members of the cast are also Americans and the company of boys and girls will make you glad you came. OLSEN & JOHNSON Here's another act which deserves special mention and will help fill out your evening’s entertainment. Ola Olsen an i Chic Johnson are likeable lads loaded with laughs. They offer a fine example of clean clownery, besides having a choice blend of piano work, popular songs and comedy. ?—d. d7h77 This is not an anti-Volstead formula, but the billing assumed by one of the best entertainers we have had this season. The initials have a question mark, hut there Is no question about his ability. We can't say more without giving away the secret. You must come to see him—then you’ll know—perhaps! MONSIEUR ADOLPHUS This noted French dancing master returns with the newest idea from Paris. “Bohemian Life” is interpreted by Andre Vivianna, the famous French premiere danseuse. Anna Velde, whirlwind dancer. Miss Prossor, violinist, and Monsieur Adolphus. ItMs sufficiently new to be “chic,” aud being French stamps it as being artistic. SUIsLY & HOUGHTON * William (or, as he was known in aviation service, “Billie ’), together with Genevieve Houghton, have an unusual novelty in their skit entitled “Calf Love.” It has a musical comedy flavor and if you miss it you’ll be sorry. CLINTON SISTERS These clever young ladies have done more than learp a few dance steps. They are specialists and present something original. “Cartooning in Danceland” explains their work and they have drawn from the Chinese, the Gypsies and the Egyptians for their cartoon subjects. , RUSSELL & DEVITT" How these two fellows can take the “falls” they do and live has long been a mystery. They seem to like it, for they always come up smiling, for they are both acrobats and comedians. AESOP’S FABLES The latest animated cartoons show the fables of ancient times brown down to date. Paul Terry, the cartoonist, gives them life and action, and you’ll see them first at Keith’s. PATHE NEWS WEEKLY This weekly visualizes the news as It happens, and shows it in pictured form.
