FOX's LYRIC THEATRE
(By the Fox Lyric Press Agent.)


Vaudeville goers insist on novelty

uncovered no greater novelty at least
in the vocal line, than The Girl from
the Movies who will head the bill AT
Fox's Lyric the last three days of this
week beginning today. There N more
less of a mystery about the girl
and she comes to vaudeville as a dis
covery of Ed Kealey who is the gem
eraI booking manager for William
Fox. Mr.. Kea1ey heard the girl sing
in a west side picture house, saw great
possibilities in her voice and placed
her under contract, her first vaudeville
appearance being at Hammerstein's
where she was a big hit. There may
be some one in Bridgeport who can
identify her though none of the thou
sands who heard her sing in New
York did. A real quintet of vaude-
vile acts surround the top1iner in
Guiding Gordon Brothers, the dancing
boys who will be rem en- bered for
their appearance here with Eddie
Leonard and who have come along

TREATY
WILL BE SIGNED
BY DELEGATES

London, May 2s-It is practically
certain that the treaty of peace be-
tween the Balkan allies and Turkey is
to be signed at the British foreign Of
fee by the peace delegates of the var
ions states concerned, tomorrow.
Bulgaria and Turkey have both def
niteIy decided to sign the document
in Difference to the wishes of Sir Ed
ward Grey, the British foreign secre-
tary, and there Is little doubt that the
other three allies, Servia, Greece and
Mon tenegro, will do likewise.
Greece and Servia. desire to add a,
protocol to the treaty as drafted by
the European powers dealing with the
question of amnesty and the conven-
tfons to be negotiated after peace
shall have been concluded.
Bulgaria, however, objects that this
protocol might leave the door open
for further discussions and she was
determined to sign the treaty of peace
with Turkey without any more delay
and so to clear the field for the grave
negotiations she will have to under
take with her allies of the late war
over the division of the @pois of vic
tory.
The principal servian peace delegate
in London at noon, today, received
despatch from his government author
ling him to sign the preliminary
treaty of peace with Turkey

Not Paint

The worst mistake in painting is not
puttfng-of. That costs about 10 per-
cent; you keep your money a. year and
pay 10 percent for it.
Paint would have to come-down rs
percent to make 10 percent on the job,
for wages do not go-down.
The worst mistake is Cheap paint
tt costs from so percent to 100, first
cost, and another in wear.
What a liar Cheap Is! tfPut-off'' is
bad-enouga; cheap" is ten times
worse.
