been painted by artists comparatively

Mr.. Wallace is a musician OF unusual
ability. Deprived of his sight through

made wonderful strides in his chosen
profession, beginning to teach sighted
pupils at the age OF 16 years. Pro-
lessor Wallace's technical command
OF the organ is surprising. He plays
with a superb confidence, with the
precision born of thorough knowledge,

AT THE COLONIAL

Admirers of the great photoplay
actress, Edith Storey, as well as those
who enjoy plaI that is out of the
ordinary, will not want to overlook
the engagement of The Dust of
Egypt" appearing at the Colonial for
its last time to-day. The story is
unique in that it tells of the awaken
ing OF an Egyptian princess after a
sleep of three thousand years. The
comedy element centers in this rein
carnated being of a former age whose
wonderment at the comforts and con-
veniences of modern civilization and
her endeavor to transplant the man
ners, customs and religious rites of
her native Egypt into the household
of the twentieth century family is the
basis of many ludicrous situations.
The weekly Fox feature that appears
each Wednesday and Thursday at the
Colonial, and which, by the way, will
be there tomorrow, will probably be
one of the best so far, If not the best.
This one is called The Wonderful
Adventure" featuring William FAR
mum. On this same day we are to SEQ
