Stop, look and listen-'In the Path
of the Fast Express" is the title of to-
days installment of the Million Dollar
Mystery and if the enthusiasm and APP
plause which was demonstrated last
night at the Colonial is any criterion
of excellency, this episode must be a
top notcher. From the time the title
was projected on the screen to the fin
ish there is something doing all the
time and the patrons were not at all
backward in showing their apprecia-
ton. Miss Mary Pickford in Loves
Refrain" and j. Warren Kerrigan also
came in for their share of applause and
during one exhibition of 'Fatty's De-
but" the keystone Comedy, the house
was in a continual roar of merriment
Taking the program in it's entirety it
is one of the best we have seen for a
long time and would certainly advise
the public to attend the performance
this afternoon or evening at this de-
lightfully cosy and convenient little
playhouse.-Adv.
