peared a very interesting sketch about

Of the Irish people died of hunger, 1t

and the establishment Of an Irish re-

Irishman TO stand upon no matter what
his ideas or views were how to free Ire
land.

CREATORE AND BAND
 AT LYCEUM TONIGHT

Those who go to hear Creatore and His Band at the Lyceum this evening will enjoy a treat never to be forgot ten. Nothing like him has ever been seen before in this or any other coun- try. His sincerity cannot be ques- toned. He merely allows his emo- tions to get the better of him, but not to the extent that it is a weak ness. His men cannot resist his fer vor any more than can his audience, and so the results are not surprising. His band is composed of fifty players who put color into their work and can master volume of amazing inn mensity, ref1ecting their directors magnetism, totally unlike any other organization before the public. His programs are always inviting through out. He knows just what he is play ing, the story. the music, the scene, and the playing is such that he is recognized by the leading musical critics of this country as the most wonderful director of the day.

London, Sept. 25, 10:55 a. m.-A third set of papers for the annual ex- aminations in the United States for Rhodes scholarships has been for warded, in the hope that they will ar rive in time for the tests on the ap- pointed days, October 5 and 6. The original papers went down with the Arabic and a second set was lost with the sinking of the Hesperian.

THE MONEY MASTER"
 AT FOX'S SUNDAY

"The Money Master founded on Cleveland Moffett's famous stage suc- cess "The Battle" will visit the Fox theater tomorrow night.
 Not often is one privileged to wiz ness a film drama of such absorbing interest, so we'll told or featuring cast of such superlative excellence. Frank Sheriden, long and favorably known to the heater-going public, plays the lead of the f1inty-hearted man of millions, supported by such we'll known players as Paul McAllis- ter, Fania Marinoff and Malcolm Dun- can. This aggregation of Broadway stars is probab bly, the most pretentious ever seen in a single photo- drama production.
 The story of "The Money Mas ter' is a rare blending of riches and poverty with many scenes taken in the famous East Side Ghetto district of New York. Faggleton, an ar- bilious man of millions, loses his wife and son through his mania for riches and years later discovers his long lost son in the tenement districts of New York. How he dismisses his yacht, spreads the rumor that he is away on the seas and then starts life over as a helper in the Ghetto bakery without so much as a penny in his pocket, merely to illustrate his the ory that riches are soley the result of work, are scenes of intense human interest
 The most recent Pathe News with it's current events and some excellent comedy features will frame a pro- gram of sterling merit.

George M. Cohan's hand has fla shioned many plays, but the best of all, if we are to accept the opinion of many erudite reviewers, is Seven Keys To Baldpate," with its thrilling tale of a writer of melodramatic novels who isolates himself on the top of a mountain for the ostensible purpose of completing a story and is there confronted with series of in cidents, that, in thrills and hair-rais- ing episodes, puts any tale he could fashion to blush.
 Seven Keys to Baldpate' is said to run the gamut of human emotions from laughs and thrills with intern edi- ate melodramatic moments of such convincing reality as to keep it's audi ence guessing to the very end of the final act. Seats now selling at CrowelPs.

 A sensational success fully des- cribes the impression made during the past year in New York and Chi cago of this famous play of laughs and thrills.
