A PETITION is being circulated and
literally signed asking the city fathers
to pass curfew law for Palestine. A
curfew law is possibly good thing;
certain it is that many boys are on our
streets at night who should be at
home, but in our opinion the home is
the proper place for the enforcement
of the curfew law.-Palestine Herald.
Such law, it always occurs to us, is
a sad commentary upon the parents
who ask it. But this seems to be a
time when laws are considered pan
acea for all human weakness.-Athens

cldedly unique, gem in itself. She
is safely woman, full of fire, por-
traying passion and pathos equally
well, her very presence on the stage
holding her audience throughout the
entire evening. Her costumes are
gorgeous, Paris creations, each gown
especially designed for its own act.
Miss Prescott is surrounded by COM
pany of ladies' and gentlemen, all of

enced in their respective roles, each

room and morning room scenes being
especially attractive. The entire pro-
duction is under the personal direction
of Mr.. David Traitel, who for years

guarantee that rare treat is in store
for the patrons of the theatre.
