"WILDFIRE" TO BE
 SEEN AT FOX'S TODAY

The reputation of "Wildf1re," which enjoyed such great popularity eight years ago, and the fact that the same international famous actress Lillian Russell again appears in the leading role are sufficient to guarantee a pro- duction that will be we'll received by the Fox patrons, the production hav- ing its initial showing at the local Fox theater today and tomorrow The broader possibilities which are offered by the screen when it comes to adapting a play are strixingly brought out in this film version of one of the greatest racetrack plays ever produced. Whereas the stage manager could only rely upon the painted drop for his track, the photo- play director simply went out and photographed a real track, with a far greater realistic result. A notable cast of Broadway favorites give excellent support to Lillian Russell, foremost among them being Lionel Barrymore, Glen White, Leone Nor gan and Sam J. Ryan, and taking the entire rama tization as whole it will surely meet with the unquali-
 
 Several other single reel comedies and dramas are offered in conjunction with "Wildfire' with todav's Pathe News filling out the educational DOT ton of the program
 ''The Pathe News is one of the widest read periodicals and has be- come a big feature every Monday, and Fox patrons look forward to it every Monday and Thursday. Today's is- sue contains the newest scenes from the theater of war, and also shows the most important happenings in our own country over the past week.
 Joey and His Trombone is a rip roaring comedy from the Edison studios, while The Boob and the Baker, is another comedy from the Biograph concern, and summing up the entire offering it carries with it many entertaining features that will please the most captious movie fan.

THE STRANGER OPENS
 AT LYCEUM TONIGHT

Come to the Lyceum this week and Stranger" a stirring play abounding in human interest and gripping ac- tion. The opening performance this evening will be given with as perfect as any of the remaining perform ances. The first matinee of the week will take place Tuesday afternoon.
 The entire action of the plot takes place in the home of t1eneral War; ingto.n and involves the efforts of two powerful characters for power. John 1 Marshall. the stranger, comes from the north to secure a railroad fran chise and finds in Judge Carter bit ter rival. Judge Carter does not know at the opening who Marshall really is. Finer motives inspire Mar shall in his work, while Judge Cart CT is interruptions. The two char acters stand out in strong contrast. The story is developed along lines which are very delightful. Mr. Cross will assume the chara cter of Marshall and MT. Wright will appear as Judge Carter. Miss Galloway, in the role of Mary Warrington, has a character which will win her warm sympathy. There are a number of fine comedy situations. Mrs. Hubbard, as Mandy, an old colored mammy, and Mr. Birch as Theophilus Pinkney. provoke an abundance of laughs. Miss Bolton is well cast in the charming character of Venitia Warrington.
 ''The Stranger" was written by Charles T. Dazey, who gave to the stage the we'll known play, 'In Old Kentucky" Robert Pagan, the pop ular local amateur, will be seen( in this attraction.

Clear Cool Grays Supercede
 Tan Covert Suits for Spring Practically All Skirts of New Suits Have Hip Yokes- More or Less Fitness Distinguishes New Skirts
 -Whipcord Smart Fabric.

Spring suits! Merely to mention them conjures visions of changes Tn skirts, jackets and trimmings But the greatest departure is in shades If you paid an extraVagant price for that perfectly tailored tan covert suit which you have been wearing all win- ter try to forget the folly and give the suit away.
 Real tan and ecru shades are no longer smart. Clear, cool grays are the last cry in hues for street suits, and the smartest are the gray CO., verts But if those neutrals do not become you choose oyster or mastic. They are dainty and springlike, and, oh! such a welcome change.
 Hip Yokes on All New Skirts.
 Practically all the skirts of the new suits have hip yokes. Thus they fit sm oothly where smoothness is most desirable, yet they never are of even length all the way around. The yok e is one of Callot's models, runs to a sharp point halfway to the knees at the front and barely covers the hips at the side. Another clever model curves over the hips from the s.des and between those curves a panel of fat-]ying pleats extends down the back.
 More or less fitness distingushe es all of the new skirts. That is to say, all of them measure at least two yards. A great many of them are ! three yards wide, and few are a l yard wider. Their shape suggests a circular cut. but that rule is not hard 1 and fast. Various clever gorin Q; 1 schemes are well worth considering. 1 Particularly alluring is a circular skirt 1 in gray covert, whose tWo-sectiOn ! yoke starts an inch from either side l of back-center at the waist band and curves away very low over the hips.

There are fourteen people in the cast. Among them are some good singers and dancers and their performance is far above the aver age given in vaudeville houses. The second week of the enga cement of the Fields is expected to prove even more popular than it predecessor and if such proves to be the case, the management will be well satisfied. Last week the Fields were largely re- sponsible for capacity audiences at each performance and they also con- tributed much towards satisfying the audience
 Another Scotch number will be provided during the current week, the Two Sandies, appearing as spe- cial attra ction. They are clever team of Scotch entertainers and wherever they have appeared they have been most warmly welcomed.
 Pauline Carr and company will present a comedy sketch, Frank Dodge, a celebrated music hall en- tertainer will present The Image man. He will be supported by a company of capable people.
