Chelsea 7750", in four reels ana me Wheel of Destruction" in two reels, IS the second of the Famous Players features and both offerings scored heavily at the Avenue Theater yester- day. Henry E. Dixey, the famous le- gitimate" star. one of the foremost faV- orites of the American stage, dlstln- euishes Chelsea 7750" by his convinc- ing characterization of an eminent, able and conscientious detective. MT Dixey is provided with one of the strongest parts which in all his versa tile career he has ever portrayed.
 "The Wheel of Destruction IS wonderful portrayal of the lengths to which a jealous man will go to achleve the defeat of favored rival. The story is woven about an early Grand Prix race in France, showing the ma chimes going over the course and the ;overturning and wrecking of the larg- est of the racing cars.

The poem fol- lows:
 (Tune, Christmas Song,' by Karl P.
 HarringtOn)
 In the Unions blue field
 There's a beautiful star,
 And it's brightness revealed
 Sheds a glory afar.
 It is Iowa, Iowa, peer of the best Of the bountiful states of the wide Middle West, It has rich prairie lands, It has glad; sunny streams Far beyond the demands Of the dreamer of dreams When he reaches the place which re- spends to his quest For home where Contentment shall bide as a guest.
 All the Hawkeyes are strong, All the women are fair; Every heart holds a song With no note of despair; And of learning and culture they're sowing the seeds, For their vision is clear, and tis | matched by their deeds l AriZonans do well | The old home land to greet | On its glory to dwell l And it's story repeat;
 Tis its greatness and grandeur they gladly attest
 For 'tis Iowa, Iowa. peer of the best.
