"FOLLIES" BEAUTY
 ON LYCEUM SCREEN

Dainty Olive Thomas, winsome beauty of the famous Ziegheld Fol lies', smiled and danced her way into the hearts of big audience this after noon at the Lyceum theater when she made her initial bow in "An Even Break, her latest motion picture of fering, and she will be ready to do the same the remainder of the week. Advance notices of the picture proved to be no exaggeration, as An Even Break" measured up to any previous offering the theater has had. To say that 1t made a hit is expressing facts mildly, for the story and the way in which it was told fairly entranced.
 Miss Thomas has right to feel perfectly at home in her role, for she depicts Broadway favorite just as, in her own career in real life, she is the reigning queen of the Great White Way and one of the most popu- lar favorites the big street has today. Scores of chorus beauties assist her in the scene at Minot's cafe a repro duction of Broadway famous tryst- ing places and throughout these scenes, a thirty-piece Jazz band plays, giving the famous lobster palace a natural appearance.
 An Even Break" deserves the re- mark that was once made about it when critic called 1t a musical comedy in pictures", only in this case. the play is par excellence, and Is really out of the class of an ordinary musical comedy. The story that runs throughout gives the picture a bal ance, and while the little bits of foolishness that everyone admires in a musical comedy are present here also, there is a tinge of reality about in with the story ever predominatfng. If one looks deep enough it is easy to see that the moral point is upper most all the way, for while girl, such as Miss Thomas depicts, may be of light heart and manner, ever loving the frivolous and playing for the applause of the pleasure seeking, love has made its mark and that mark will stay, And a chorus girl may love, too, though deep may be the rouge, and ever-changing, her mood. In support of Miss Thomas are Charles Gum as Jimmie Strang'', and Darrel Foss as Ralph Harding" "An Even Break will head the bill tonight, and Friday and Saturday. -s. .s, Hs .e.@
 Keystone has just scored another big hit in presenting Mack .Sennett and Ethel Teare in a smashing, rip roaring comedy, Thirst.

WALSH A HIT IN
 THE YANKEE WAY"

l There is nothing quite as enjoyable 1 as a real George Walsh picture. and 1 '.The Yankee Way.' which is the | present feature of the big Fox pro-
 gram, is the best picture that the versatile George has ever made. He smiles and licks his enemies with equal facility, and goes through more adventures in the little mythical king dom of Lithuania than ever could happen to him in the U. s. A. It seems that Dick Mason-George
 Walsh-is sent to Lithuania to rep
 resent his father in some cattle deal
 or other but as Dicks interests are centered more in poultry than in cattle, his business is sadly neglected. This, however, doesn't seem to be of much importance to the plot, as long as Dick has a good time. He sur rounds himself with a select coterie of admirers, including a cow-puncher, a gun man, and a negro valet, and then the fur begins to fly in all direc- tions. He takes a stab at the toy politics of the principality and finds it quite entertaining, particularly when he meets the princess, with whom he was acquainted in the days wl,cn she was cabaret dancer in Chicago. %"The Yankee Way" has a typical musical comedy plot, but it is brimful of laughter and comical sit- uations from beginning to end.
 Another highly interesting feature of the program is the formal open ing of that much talked of Pathe ser ial, "The Seven Pearls," in which Mol lie King, that daredevil heroine, and Creighton Hale, are featured. It strikes distinctly new note in serials, and the scenery and costuming are most extraordinary. The setting is laid in Constantinople, which gives unusual opportunity for unusual characterization. And as for thrills well, it is safe to say that there has never been a serial since serials were first made, that started off in such a rapid-first manner.
 And speaking of serials, "The Red Ace is no slouch, either for there are a few stunts pulled off in the sec ond chapter, which is also on the bill, that are hard to beat. Marie Wal camp is one of those little girls who take the greatest chances in such an easy way that at first sight, one thinks nothing of it. Tomorrow's s feature will be 'The Guardian in which little Madge Evans, the cutest juvenile of the World Studios, is starred. "The Fatal Ring" and oth- CT superior films will also be shown.

 "Sce Here, Ill.,
 When I awakened the twilight was fast changing into night, and the only light came through crack in the almost closed door leading into the living room. I heard the murm UT of voices at first low, then evidently forgetting caution as their owners became more excited. With an ap- prehensive, yet rejoicing little thrill l recognized one of the voices as Dicky's.
 He hadn't been as indifferent, then, as he seemed at the restaurant! Then another thought came like a dash of cold water. Probably Lillian had sent for him. She was speaking, and I strained my ears shamelessly to listen.
 Well! why shouldn't she take luncheon with him?''
 Because she knows how I feel about him, and because I had for bidden her to see him.
 Lillian laughed softly but there was in the laughter an edge of amused con- tempt. %,

 If your stomach doesn't take care of your liberal limit without rebellion; if your food is a damage instead of a help, remember the quickest, surest, most harmless antacid is Pape's Dia- pepsin which costs only fifty cents for a large case at drug stores.
