The Christmas attraction at the b.

fractions Of the season. Commencing
with a matinee performance next Sun
day afternoon at 2:30 The scenic spec
tacular melodrama MONEY Mad" will
open for weeks engagement.
Money Mad" is by the author
of Hazel Kirk and Paul Kauvar, y and
in it is employed the famous bridge
scene which set all New York talking
IN the occasion of its first metropolitan
production. This bridge has working
draw some sixty feet in length, which
swings out over the orchestra into the
auditorium to allow the passage of
q large lake steamer built on the same
generous scale. The bridge swings
back in an opposite direction and the
elimination OF the sensational interest
of the play takes place in the attempted
murder OF throwing bin from the
bridge. The hero OF the play jumps to
the rescue from the draw as the cur
tain descends and as the curtain rises
again putting tug under full head and
steam goes past just in time to save the
drowning person.

''Come, bring with a noise.

While my good dame she
Bids ye all be free,
And drink to your hearts desiring.
SO sang old Herrick, who was merry
highlands bard of Christmas, and in
many homes in that country it is still
the custom to burn the Yule log. We
do it differently here, the Yule log being
more of an accepted tradition than a
fact. But Christmas is merry, neverthe-
less, and families reunite, if at no other
time of year. It is likely that you are
thinking of going home for the holidays.
