LONDON FOG PUTS
 TRAFFIC ON BUM

LONDON. Dec. 27. One of tho thickest foss of recent years envelop ed London today, disorganizing traffic and causing great inconvenience. Ow ing to the restrictions with regard to the lighting of the city, the sombre pail at nightfall brought surface traf. fic to a complete standstill The O. nibusses stopped running, taxicabs disappeared from the streets and the people moved about with the aid of torchlights and electric flashlights.
 The underground railways were not affected and were the only means of transportation. They. however. were soon choked by the enormous crowds, with the result that numerous sta tions had to be closed until the crush was relieved in order to prevent acci- dents. The steam railway traffic to and from London was halted from points as far away as Birmingham, which was also enveloped by the fog. The fog here al frequent intervals was dull gray, murky yellow and black

FRANK KEENAN, IN BIG
 TRIANGLE AT 0RPHEUM
Honor Thy Name, Impress sive Story, Admirably Told
 and Acted, Is Feature.

Honor Thy Name" featuring Frank Keenan. Charles Ray and Louise Glaum. a Triangle feature. will be the offering of the Orpheum theatre to- night
 A great big message is carried to the world with the thesis of this plo- duction. An old-fashioned father of the sturdy patrician stock of the South shows his erring son that a good name is even more to be guarded than life itself The son falls in with a rather fast set in New York and allows a woman of the usual type to enslave him. The complications that ensue while the father tries to separate the boy from this calculating woman forms one of the sensational elements of the story.
 The action in this play around char acters interpreted by Frank Keenan. Charles Ray and Louise Glaum. These three stars are well-known Triangle favorites and need very little intro ductfon to patrons of Triangle theatres. Those who have seen MT. Keenan in "The Stepping Stone" and "The Phan- tom" will appreciate his characteriza- ton of the grand old Southern gentle man in this production. and those who have not seen him before will never forget him.
