"OTHER PEOPLES MONEY" TONIGHT AT COLISEUM.

Despite the vigilance of the police and the severe penalties imposed by the courts, bands of suave crooks con- tinually operate in the large cities. mulcting the guleless of their money and living in absolute security. Such a band are the central characters in the Mutual Masterpicture, De Luxe Edition, "Other Peoples Money" a g. act detective drama which comes to the Coliseum tonight, with Gladys Hu- lette in the principal role,
 The theme, while a familiar one. has been given new twist in this strong photoplay. The action is vivid and the interest of the audience sustained throughout. The settings are elaborate and the acting of the cast unexcelled.
 Charming Gladys Hulette, the dimin- utive screen star who has appeared in serial of Mutual features, has a novel role in this powerful drama As the girl who stands in the way of the plans of the crooks she has a role that calls for deep emotional expression and a thorough knowledge of the Iimita- tions of the screen. She acquts her self with her usual grace and adds new laurels to her already long list by her capable acting.

Tn sev- eral cities the baseball attendance records were broken and the aggre- gate gathering at the big league baseball parks is said to have sur passed in numbers any previous holiday figures in the records of either the American or National League. Golf, tennis, auto and horse racing, boxing and minor sports all drew heavily. At one Eastern tennis tournament where there was voluntary contribution for the Red Cross in place of the usual admission charge, more than $500 was collected.

FATTY" ARBUCkLE ADOPTS REGULAR WAR MENU.

Roscoe Fatty 'Arbuckle. heaviest of heavyweight comedians and merriest of screen mirthmakers, has adopted the war menu. In spite of the fact that the 250-pound film star is making the eieht-hour day look like a myth by ar irving at the studio after an early breakfast and remaining until long after the dinner hour six days a week. he is heart and soul with the preparedness squad which is urging modera tion in the use of food supplies
 That's why "Fatty's' Jap chef has been losing lot of sleep of late due principally to the fact that he is kept busy totalling the salores in his mas ter's daily diet. The Arbuckle house. hold is now conducted with view to cutting down all useless extravaganza while yet maintaining a rule that wholesome diet is of primary import ance.
 And if in the immediate future Fat tvs" admirers discover that he has become as sylphIike as Vernon Cas- tie or other popular devotees of the dance they will know that it was be- cause he voluntarily abandoned sir ioin steaks and French pastry for a war menu something like this: Breakfast-Glass of orange juice, one French roll coffee
 Luncheon-Ham and egg sandwich, glass of milk
 Dinner-Bean soup. vegetable salad coffee.
 Experts versed in the calory system are authority for the statement that it will be many months before the effect of these simple repasts is discernible in "Fatty's' ample form As the hero of the latest Paramount -Arbuckle com edy.
