HERE'S A YOUNG
 CHARLIE CHAPLIN
Ten-Year- Old Vincent suIIy, of the suIlys, Has the Makeup and the Funny Stunts.

Out in the foyer of the Davis theatre for time Tuesday evening, there was little act going on that was not on the programme and yet to those who were fin on it" had quite as much interest-human interest, any way-as the movies inside It hap pened when Vincent SuIly, sixth and youngest of the family of Sullys-so young he doesn't get in the ''big" act yet-got loose from behind stage and appeared out in front in a neat and altogether complete, even to the hat and the red tie and the cane, Charlie Chaplin rig. The youngster had the makeup and the antics. He is 10 years old. and bubbling over with life and as sober as a judge. He whisk- ed his little cane around. knocked the lights off the ends of peoples cigar cites with it, caught others around the ankles with it's crook, and withal had merry sport of it for himself and those who stopped to gaze He said he wasn't feeling well. either. He had eaten some home made apple pie the day before, and that might not be the cause. but he had a stomachache. Also he had been playing ball with his brother earlier and was tired. So he ripped himself up with his cane and solemnly rolled over on the floor out in the middle of the theatre entrance. He rested ten seconds and then he sat up with the Charlie Chaplin ''blink"-the kind you see after he's been hit on the head by a bread-rolIer or some similar weighty object-true to the pictures Vincent said he'd been in Frisco. New York and sundry other diversified places. But the thing heav- fest on his mind-and he inquired about it most earnestly-was if we couldn't change the Charlie Chaplin | contest from Friday night to Wednes- day.

ANOTHER RESIGNATION BY MIR. ALLIS.
He Gives Up $5ooo Position On the Commission to Revise the Statutes.

commission to Revise the Statutes
 Governor Marcus H. Holconb has received a communication from Wal lace $. Allis, of this city, in which MT. Al1s says that owing to the condition of his health he will be unable to att tend to his duties as a member of the commission on the revision of the statutes to which he was appointed by the governor. Governor Holcomb re- gretted to learn of the inability of MT. Allis to take up the work and the regret is shared by Frank E. Healy, chairman of the commission, and by the other members.
 Tuesday forenoon MT. HeaIy had a conference with the governor on the work of the commission. The mem berS of the commission have not yet had meeting to formulate a plan for the work. MT. Healey had hoped to devote the balance of the sum- mer to it and to practically give up his law practice until next fall.
 It is more than likely the govern or will appoint a successor to Mr. Allis if it is found ttere is no prob ability that the latter will undertake the work.
 It may be said in this connection that there is a precedent for not ap- pointing a successor in the action that was taken in 1888 when a member of the revision commission or that year was unable to do the work owing to illness. The origin ally appointed commission of 1888 consisted of five members, of which Senator George P. Mclean was one, but the work was done by four. On the other hand the law creating the present commission expressly states that it shall consist of six. It is held by some that Governor Hol- comb has no alternative except to appoint a person to take the place of MT. Allis in case the latter finds 1 it impossible to do the work When Governor Holcomb was asked on Tuesday if AIr. Allis had resigned from the commission he re- piled:
 He has practically resigned" The compensation attached to the position is $5,000 and S1,000 for ex- penses.
 The commission is required to re- port a revision to the general as- sembly at the session of 1917.

AT THE DAVIS.
VaudeviIIe and PhotopIays.

For the first of the week at the Davis theatre the Five Sullys, two girls and three men, presented an act of clever singing and dancing and talking that was snappy and catchy and drew large applause from the big houses that saw the feature. The name of the sketch which they use as the vehicle for their skit was The In- formation Bureau, and the bright young man who ran, it got his in quirers into humorous entanglements. The Outlaws Revenge is a feature Mexican picture, full of federals and bandits and western settlers, and with particularly interesting settings.
