My friends and / are invited to

said My friends and shall go.
Call in that beast. Now for the inal

Ponto disappeared and a moment
later the brute crept into the room.
he glanced fearfully toward the
chair where Hernandez had been
sitting; then he glanced about the
room A puzzled expression over

with deep cultural cry he sprang
for the spparition's throat

An hour later he was standing ex-

punch bowl were a group of officers

Neal Hardin did not answer. He

They were both drinking from the
punch bowl. The ensign drank With
his right hand: 80 did Annette. but

chance the evening could afford

dict an unusually clever and interest ing entertainment. From the story of the same name by Earl Derr Big gers for his foundation, young MT. Cohan has constructed the only new thing in playwriting that has been offered in years. There's punch in every line of it's dialogue and vol ley of laughter following every punch.
 In Seven Keys to Baldpate' Co., han runs the gamut of human emo- tions. His wierd manner of introduc- ing the characters who, one after another, let themselves into a sum ner hotel that has been closed for the winter, all of them under the inn rression that theirs is the only key to the hostelry, the tangling of the plot, the. exciting experience of the hero and the heroine in their endea- yor to outwit the adventures, the crooked Mayor, the scheming railroad magnate, the blackmailer, the chief
 of Police, and an amateur detective, makes one of the most exciting even- ings entertainments imaginable. Seat sale now at Crowelps.

MARY PICKFORD IN
 BIG FILM FEATURE

Mary Pickford, the idol of the mo- tion picture devotees, will again make her bow before the Keeney patrons tomorrow and Thursday, when she ap- pears in the principal role in Fan chon The Cricket There is no screen favorite (even Charlie Chap lin) who brings as many shekels to the box office as this captivating comedi- enne. Consequently the Pickford films are in great demand and fancy prices have to be paid for them. Tn "Fanchon The Cricket" Miss Pickford is seen at her best and capacity audi ences should prevail on both days.
 Selig's picturization of the great novel, The House Of A Thousand Candles" will be the Big Four attrac- tion on Thursday and Friday. This story as dramatized for screen pres- entation is extremely interesting and it should attract large audiences.
 For Friday and Saturday, 'The Moth and The Flame" will be at the top of the program. This is an- other big drama, we'll known to the reading public, and popular as a screen attraction s..
 Prominent among the vaudeville en- tertainers this week are Taber and Claire, a pair of clever singers and dancers. These captivating young ladies found favor with the first nighters" for their songs and fancy dances and their efforts were greatly appreciated. They will without ques- tion be popular all week. Lavine and Williams have good comedy in "Sallys visit.'' The act is a rural sketch with some. good mus ical interpolations. Richards and Brandt do some spectacular acrobatic feats, many of which are new to To- cal theater-goers.
 The feature of the Keeneyscope program tonight will be False Col ors,p with Weber in the lead.

 "Be sure to wait for us in the lobby when this is over. We have a plan," and before I had time to reply she hao rustled away to her own seat, her tall husband following at some little dis stance behind her, but apparently as oblivious of her presence as if she was a stranger.
 I did not much enjoy the second act. even though realized that it was one Of the best comedy scenes I had ever seen, both in it's lines and it's acting. had problem to settle, and longed for the quiet hour in my own room which my mother had trained me to take every day since childhood.
 Of course I realized that Lillian Gale meant to have us join them fer a supper party after the theater Tho invitation would be given to us in the lobby after the last act. Upon the way that I received that invitation, must depend my future conduct toward this woman. I could not make one of this proposed party and afterward decline to know her. My instincts all cried out to me to avoid Lillian Gale. She outraged all my canons of good taste, although even through my prejudices I had to admit there was something oddly attractive about her in spite of her atrocious makeup. z,
 But, on the other hand, she. and her husband appeared to be on most in- timately terms with Dicky. Would I seriously offend him if I refused to treat his friends with friendliness equal to that which they seemed ready to shower upon me?
