There IS always one genuine head liner at this popular house. and that position today is filled most ably by James J. Morrison & O.. Americas s foremost Protean actor, in the re- markable comedy drama The Cau of Justice To look at this playlet one would think that there were at least ten or twelve people in the cast but as a matter of fact there are but three. MT. Morrison plays nine or ten parts. each with a complete change of cos physical impossibility for one to do it. This act is personally known to the management, who guarantee it to be absolutely the best of it's kind in ex- istence.
 Fred Weber, comedy ventriloquist, and Bertha Rich, sprightly come dienne, fill the other two places on their bill with their clever specialties.
 The photoplays for today are: In the Fangs of Jealousy, a two reel dramatic feature from the Paris Eclair Studios In the Days of His Youth, Rex-Smal1ey drama. and Temper vs- Temper an Imp comedy with dainty Ethel NGrandin. Tomor- row brings the third series of the famous Lucille Love. See it and see if you can get some of that s100 week ly prize money
