MISS WILLIAMS SHOW
 LOOKS LIKE SUCCESS

Mollie Williams and her company
 task of pleasing the patrons of the
 Grand theater this week. It is pos-
 sible that they may succeed. If the
 comedians who are possessed of plen-
 ty of good stuff would refrain from using some of the Jokes they do, there is no question that the show would go much better As it is, the company is up to the standard, and does well considering. Miss Williams, who. is not a stranger in the Capitol City. is the same tireless worker as of old, and although she works only union hours, the last part of the perfor- nance, she is always trying to provide pleasing songs and humor. With the entry of the star into the show, Teddy Burns, Jack Duffy and Roscoe Aills ! are forced into the discard. Burns in : particular gets in strong with the audience by his originality, and his singing of Irish melodies brings down i the house. Duffy and Aills are fine 1 foot performers. 1
 A clever piece of acting is staged 1 in the olio, with Miss Williams, John ! Dillon and Frank Manning the prin- cipals. There is singing, dancing and shooting in the skit, but it was we'll done and proves to be one of the fea- lures The burlettas are entitled, 'The Iallowe- en Party and Some Sanitarium,' but any other name

ANOTHER HIT ON
 LYCEUM STAGE
Girls Will Be Girls" Real
 Holiday Attraction

Like wine, the musical comedy Girls Will Be Girls" not only loses nothing through age but adds unto itself in the ability to produce laughs It is an excellent appetizer for the holidays joys that are approaching and contains anti blues treatment in allopathic doses. The Lyceum Play CTS are producing a treat this week for those who appreciate an evening in which daily cares can be thrown aside and the light side of light brought wildly to the front. They need have no excuses to offer for this weeks production at the Lyceum theater and offer a boon to tired hu- manity, troubled and weary through Christmas shopping.
 The plot is the lightest part of the production, there being just enough of. the connecting threads to hold the vehicle together and prevent 1t from falling flat. Humor, laugh ter and a portrayal of the funny side of life are the cardinal points and they are augmented until they. leave no room for the glooms. The joys hold the stage from the first rise of the curtain until its final drop Ap- plause is generous for a number of the musical numbers, the type that causes one to keep time to the catchy airs and hum the haunting melody. Walter Wills, as is expected, makes himself the center of attention, and creditably plays the role of Prof. 1 Eoenezer Dodge, 8 typical educator l of the old-school type lovable, ab- sent minded and little familiar with l worldly things outside of the class l nrln Dr 1 Dodge academy, he enters politics and is a candidate for the general assembly. All can appreciate the l wonders that he experiences in his l mpafgn and how easily he is taken l advantage of. It is necessary to fol- 1 low his campaign and activities to l appreciate the situations that teen, | with humor.
 | William Meehan, in the role of Alp ] ner Sanky of the Watch and Ward
 society, gives a realistic portrayal of
 the reformer in politics. He and the | professor have a~nip and tuck time
 and make things lively. Ralph Sin
 perly must have lived in the Thick
 town for he has the characteristics
 of the "peanut politician" down to

 Sheriff Ketchum, member of the
 health, police and numerous other
 boards.
 There are others, George Bogues Lee Da1y, Franklin Smith and Tom
 Gregory, who appear in the parts so
 necessary to the portrayal of small
 town life.
 A musical comedy, and above all Girls Will Be Girls" would not be complete without a representation of

His darn car, shining with silver plate and fat with fur robes, stood panting at the curb while we made believe We were chums and chatted of this and that on the doorstep.

And I'd have gone along if I'd known anything to talk to him abOut. The only interest we have in common is you.

 was reminded of that little pas sa ge by my small nephew. He spent the last part of his summer yaca- cation, when time began to hang heavy on his hands, looking forward to the first day of school. When I saw him the other day and asked how he liked school he said, un- enthusia stically. "A1l right and then he added with new life in his tone, Say, do you know it's only three weeks to the Christmas vaca- tion."
 At Recess Time.
 One day last year happened to be passing a school house at recess time. The bell rang, the children scampered indoors-that is, all but two. These two, who were evidently too young for school, stood gazing wistfully after the others. When the last child had disappeared they turned dejectedly away. There wasn't a child they and there probably wasn't a child who wouldn't have cha anged places with them.

Safest Place for Jewels.

A few years ago one often heard
that women who possessed Jewels Of
value were becoming afraid" to wear
them owing to the risks which ac-
companied displaying their property
In public. II became the custom to
seek some place OF security where the
moro precious possessions could be
deposited. Jewels were banked" or
committed to the protection Of safes
and strong rooms. But gradually the
sense OF security has in some degree
departed. The modern woman has no
capacity for matching the resourceful
ingenuity Of the modern thief. The
most astounding cases OF Jewel rob
berry show that no precaution is be-
yond being intelligently anticipated.
After all. It Is not surprising that those
who possess jewels OF value are begin.
ming to realize again that their safest
place is that for which they were In.
tended and are wearing them more
than ever.
