and added greatly to the intense suf-
fering already caused.
Almost upon the stroke of midnight, as a new day and a new month came to Illinois, the new cold wave howled its way out of the north, whipped the Great Lakes into a fury, crippled air, rail and highway traffic and put at least one steamship in distress. The weather bureau said the new wave originated in the area surrounding Eagle, Alaska, where it was 52 degrees below zero, swept down thru the Mackenzie river valley, thru Saskatchewan and Manitoba and, still retaining much of its severity, whistled into the United States by way of the
Dakotas and Minnesota.
Predictions were that the mercury here would drop to about zero by early aftern- on and might go below
the zero mark tonight.
The drop, like that of last week wn.s sudden. At 2 p. m. yesterday the temperature hero was 39 above and jpst liefore midnight it was only a few degroes below freezing, hut the forecast was it would drop rapidly from then
on.

H. P. Yunderschinitt Personally Guarantees "Big Money” as Outstanding \ttraction for Voncastle’s Mid-Meek Program Walter Bidwell, manager of the Voncastle theater is in receipt of a special indorsement from H. P. Vnnderschmitt, owner of the local thea'er in which he personally guarantees the production “Big Money” scheduled fm showing at the Voncastle thea'er ) Wednesday and Thursday, matinee and night, of this week. Mr. Vonderschmitt state.- that this picture played just two weeks ago at hi> Indiana theater in Bloomglnton to capacity houses and his patrons there frankly admitted that “Rig Money 1 * is without doubt, one of the finest and most outstanding talking pictures of the current season. It’s big in every way, admirably produced, splendidly acted, finely photographed and a talker that will capture all movie fans. Eddie Quillan oads the big ca.-t, while others taking important roles are James Gleason, Robert Armstrong, Miriam Si- gar and Margaret Livingston. It's novel in construction, a comedy drama as suspenseful as it is laughalde and romantic. It is perhaps one of the most delightful productions ever made by Pathe. It's i human .story, peppy, tender, pathetic, but the tension is relieved by exquisite comedy that predominates in every o ne. From every -landpoint, “Big Money” is a gem and it sets a new - andard for dialogue comedy dramas f the finer grade that will be iliffiult to surpass. It will exert wide popular appeal. There has been can gate i stories aplenty, but never a medy version of underworld characters, who care not who make or enforce the nation’s laws, so long as they can gather in the coin. Eddi > Quillan as the wise-cracking messenger hoy in Wall -treet, contributes his very best talent to make “Big Money” an unforgettable delight. Today—“Bright Lights," the First National Vitaphone all-Technicoior musical production starring Dorothy Mackaili and log cast will have its
final showing.

SYNOPSIS
Violet, a chorus girl, and hci fiance, Wnlly, enlist the aid of Jerry, understudy to the vtar, in yetting the consent of Wnlly't inirlr to their marriage. Jerry ullnics Uncle Steue to mistake her Violet, and assumes th, role ol a scheming teaman so that he teill he haypy to let someone else marry Wnlly. Blake, strre's louyer, suggests that they take Jerry out to get acquainted hetorc making a pnal derision, and Jerry's friend, llabel, comes along. The gold-dig-ging starts, and is brought, lo a clinics hy a party tchirh Slerc is to pay for. Believing her plan is going to fail, Jerri/ trirs to shock him hy telling him lies about her
past.
CHAPTER IX—Continued “or course, dor, of course,” ie replied, soothing her as if she were a child. “Now, .terry dear, you've cried enough. 1 can't hear to see you—this way.” “My life lias been just one darn man after another. And now. I grabbed Wally away from my best friend. You know that Violet Is mv best friend, don't you, I'nule
Steve?"
“Jerry, please—’’ “It wouldn’t he right for me to marry Wally. I'm a bad woman." “You're not. Don't say that. You've been unfortunate that’s all. You're the best, the nearest Utile girl I've ever known." She looked at him closely to see If ha were under the effects of li(|iior. Outside of the fact that
"t'hilhcothef" Mis. I.anwr re pealed. “Jerry teas’ born in Huston.'' Ills face was flushed, he seemed to know what he was talking about Now she knew it was the end Since she bud lost, she would call It a night and wash her hands ot the whole affair. It was too had for Wally and VI. but this could not. go ou Indefinitely. Uncle Sieve was not the man she thought hbr. to be in the beginning, and It was too late now to try any new schemes. “Walt a minute, Mr. Lee,” she “Sid, gelling up, but he ini mipted
her:
"During the past two weeks, I've learned your real character, Jerry, i your true self. I haven't had minh experience with women, but I know you’re a fine person. From the hot tam of my hear I—I—honestly—re
■gect you."
Genuinely moved hy his sincerity, she threw off her mask completely, and replied quietly: "1 guess this—this has gone far enough, .and I— ” By this time he had arisen and eome to her side. He took her in his arms tenderly. ' Why, Jerry, if I thought for one moment that you could care for me. • I'd he only too happy to ask you to be my wife.” “Please, Mr. Lee—" “Jerry. I love you,” he persisted with his face close to hers, his arms wound tightly about her waLt. Before she copld reply, his lips had fastened themselves to hers. "Please, Mr. Lee.” she was finally able to say. “After, all you’ve lust .said, 1 can't let you go on thinking
ihat. I'm—"
"I kuow, Jerry. You're not the slightest hit Intoxicated. I can see
that now.”
She freed herself from his arms amt looked at him wonderingly, “This has been a shock to me. Whatever must you think—?” That you're the sweetest little girl In the world,” he finished for her, taking her in bis arms once
more.
# Please don’t—do that again.” “I beg your pardon.” "I can’t let you go on thinking—
things,” she

“Mother?” "Yes, dear.” "Were you asleep’'’ “I'll be right out," came the voice flora the other room. Uncle Steve looked from the door to Jerry, and from Jerry to t e -loor, and without saying a wuid, be was asking for an explanation. If this was some kind of a game, it . was a yutzi* tq UL«j Jerry oni*
smiled sadly and kept her eyes on the dour until u sweet faced old lady came ant. She was small, not at all unlike Jerry In appearance, with lovely white hair arranged high on her head. Her dress was "ir - not. smart, but ne it sod tramming, ihe kind of a gown a conservative woman of her a. e would naturally
wear.
"Yes, I did drop off." she said, as she cam* out. Has the company all gone?’* She started looking around the room and when she saw Lee, she looked at her daughter question-
tagly.
"Quite a while ago,” Jerry regentli man here I want you to meet.” Lee, realizing Ije was quite unsteady on his feet, clutched a chair for support. iduceff them, "this is Mr. Lee. Ho gave the party foe me." "It was veiy kind of you, sir. I’m delighted to meet you.” She offered her hand, and Uncle Steve took it, trying not to appear too as! ratstx I it what was taking place. He still could not understand It, but he must not show 1,5* surprise. 'I'm delighted to meat you. Mrs. Lamar.” he acknowledged the introduction, waiting lor Jerry to offer some sort of explanation. "I guess Mr. Lee wonders where you've been hiding, Mother.” • I've been tucked away in Jerry's room I'm visiting her Just for this week. You see. 1 only got In town today and wasn't exactly prepared (or a party. My home Is In—” "Yes, I Know," Lee interrupted. "ChlHieothe." "Ciillllcoihe?” Mrs. Lamar rel peals d.

almost anything. She looked at her mother with pleading eyes, begging her silently not to give he,* away, hut Mrs. Lamar was not the sort to understand such signals. The way she repeated the name of the town was proof tc Lee Ihat something was amiss. "I thought perhaps you still lived where Jerry was born,” he explained. Again Jerry's eyes sought her mother’s, but Mrs. Lamar went on relentlessly.
\Ye'v*

She knew Uncle Steve well enoii h to realize that h* w mid stand for many things, but duplicity was not one of them. Mi Lamar," be Anally said, ”1 mustn't keep you up any longe .
Goodnight."
"Hood night, Mr. Lee.” IL- i it them there and walked towards the door, wltb Jerry at Ills heels. There was ho much she wanted to ' II him! Hut she hud u it the slightest idea how to start. Perhaps he would help her out. She stood silently by while he took his hat and stick, waiting for him to say something to her. At last o
turned to her:
"Thank? for a very charming evening. Miss Lamar. Thanks also for your talented performance oa behalf of the modest littl* Violet. I'm sure you found the audience refreshingly gullible and easy to con-
vince—"
“Please, Mr. Lee," she Interposed,
