vehicle is one of those smashing fea-

To say that 1T pleased the huge
audiences yesterday would be stating
fact in an extra mild form. They
were packed in and they saw some
thing better than they bargained for,
and that is why the Lyceum patrons
voted Christmas Day a success at the
popular theater. Fatty Arbuckle, the
mountain-like comedian, did his share
to keep the holiday fever at it's height.
| Fatty brought his watchers back to
the days of summer delight, in his
latest offering, FATTY at Coney." The
big fellow fairly rocks the house with
his antics. What he does not do at
the famous resort could be stated in
small space, but what he really does
would take volumes.
So different are the two features,
with comedy contrasted with stirring
drama that the program could in no
way be improved upon. A keystone
comedy, the Lyceum Weekly, and
other pictures will complete the bill.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the
Lyceum will house one of the most
startling features released since the
outbreak of war, handling the war
subject in a new way. "Rasputin, the

isn't any definite moral attached but
the idea seems to BIO that one should
take all the help one can get but not
make a nuisance of oneself by asking
it for anyone else.
The lame dog is supposed to be the
villain of the tale. To my mind the
doctor was the villain. He could do
one kind act but he baked at doing
more. No, to be sure he couldn't
give up his practise to fix lame
dogs paws, but he could do as much
az he could himself and organize his
brother doctors to help with the rest.
From what I've seen Of doctors, am
sure they would have done it willingly
ShrewdnesS Is Sometimes Allied to
Meanness.
I don't see why we should worship
proverbs and fables so. They are
khrewd, to be sure, but their shrewd-
moss often comes very close to mean
noss.4 Stevenson speaks scornfully OF
"cowardly proverbs"
Besides, many Of them contradict
each other.
For instance. 1T thing is worth
doing 1t all it's worth doing WE'LL"
(nny particular bete noir among prov
cribs, used to justify housewives in
wearing themselves out over small
smatters) and its diametrical oppo-
site, ''H6lf a loaf is better than
none" ~ ~ 49,
Proverbs represent common sense.
They are apt TO crowd out uncom-
mon sense. And we need both in this
world.
