POIT'S

Review-MartiaI music, military 4naneuvers and mirthful melodies combine to make "A Regular Army Man, featured in the PoH bill, one of the cIeverest musical comedy of ferings ever presented to vaudeville. Starring Victor Merely, the come- dian, and a company of l 5, this clever vehicle was welcomed back by big audiences yesterday.
 The action centers around a little chappie who aspires to be ''regu- lar army man. and bright comedy intersperses the many pleasing song numbers. The double male quartet proves real treat.
 "A Regular Army Man." is better than ever-and it scored a trenen- dous hit when here last.

We don't get very high in this world unless we have something to step on. Tbat is why we put risers in stairs and rounds in ladders.
 When we were boys if we could stick OUT toenails into a crevice in the bark of tree, be it ever so shallow, we could shin up to the top all right, When we got to the lowest branch we were all right. After that we could pull ourselves up easier. But it did seem a long ways to the lower limbs sometimes.
 That is the story of all ife-getting the feet on something and then spring ing up.

PLAZA

That there's something in Douglas Fairbankss smile that won him such enviabIe success on the legitimate stage was never more evident than in .SThe Good Bad Man. a five part Triangle play in which he is being starred at the Plaza the latter half of the week. Fairbanks has the role of 'sPassin' Thru an outlaw who per forms many hair-raising stunts as a hoId-up man in order that he may forget some unpleasant memories of his past and not simply for the spells of the game. How he averages his mothers nntimely death.as well as the murder of his father is thrilling gly told in this wonderful p1otoplay that holds one almost spe1lbound during the en- tire action of the piece. Also, there is a pretty romance skillfully entwined in the plot and when 1t comes to the sRomeo'' parts, Fairbanks stands in the front row with banner. It should provek popular attraction.
 Featuring Ford Sterling. one of the most popular of the Keystone staff, Snow Cure'' a three reel comedy is greeted with an almost continuous roar of laughter.

It is one of the best snatches of musical comedy of- fered locally this season and was enthusiastically greeted by yesterday,s audiences.

The two boys were on a trip

and was fed and warmed. Re-
turning the following day to his
own camp, he discovered that
Wylie had not returned. A search
