JOHN BARRYMORE: At
THE ALCAZAR NO.

John Barrymore in THE Incorrigible
pukane," is the star for the Alcazar
No. l, Monday.
THE Incorrigible Dukane," unique
combination of drama, comedy and ro-
nance, by George C. Shedd, provides
John Barrymore, the popular stage
ard film favorite, with one of the most
unusual characterizations he has yet
impersonated on the screen.
The comedy of the subject is derived
from a series of ludicrous misfortunes
of which the young and incorrigible
Dukane is the constant victim; the
drama emanates from the thrilling
manner in which the young ne'er-do-
we'll redeems himself, and saves the
fortune and honor of his father; and
the romance develops-in the usual
manner of youth. These varying ele-
ments of photo-play composition eff
fectively prove the versatility of John
Barrymore, inimitable in his comedy
scenes, impressive in the dramatic sit
uations in which he finds himself, and
truly lovable as a lover.

Grown Ups 80

Skating Now

The skating epilemic that seized
Americas several weeks ago is still
with us and the people are enjoying
the sport even more than formerly.
The children of the city seem to have
the fever in its worst form and woe to
the unwary citizen who gets in the
way Of their flying feet. The side
walks still offer the best places to
speed, and the way some of the young
sters come down the sidewalks would
make the Seminole Limited blush with
shame, and would make the speed Of
that noted train resemble the efforts of
d tired hack horse.
The grown-ups of the city still use
the gymnasium at the Y. M. C. A. for
their race-track and sitting ground"
The pastime is steadily growing in ia
vor and soon, no doubt, the grown ones
will take to the sidewalks in the broad
open daylight and not under the watch
full eye Of the waning moon, as is now
the case with those who do not care
to uhe the gymnasium.

Atlantic City, N. j., Nov. 13.-The
American-Mexican joint commission,
converting on Friday after a recess of a
week, was confronted by a situation in
Mexico which is only equaled in seri-
BUSINESS by that which existed after the
Columbus raid and the dispatch of the
expeditionary column after Villa under
General Pershing.
Official and other reliable informa-
ton in the hands of the American COM
missioners indicates that the state of
Chihuahua, with the exception of a
few of the larger cities, is beyond the
control of the Carranza authorities and
that the power of the opposition is in
creasing daily.
The legalistas, who have been pas
sive in the southern part of Mexico,
have now begun to show considerable
strength and have captured important
towns of Chiapas and Oaxaca.
The Mexican commissioners admit
ted the capture by the followers of
Gen. Felix Diaz of the railway junction
of Rincon Antonoi, in Oaxaca. This
gives the legalistas control over the
most important railway south of Mex
leo City, with the railway material held
at the junction of the Pan-American
and Tchauntepic railways.
