June Caprice. the William Fox star
closed her first days run Of The
Mischief Maker" yesterday at the
Pastime. 1t Il a pretty pla with beau,
tlful star, were the remarks heard as
people passed out Of the theater last

doubtful If there is a more winsome

June Caprice. Who Is the handsome
man acting with her? was the ques-
tion asked by the ladies Of Manager
Matlock. The man il Harr Benham
and he is a new addition to the Fox
force and will hereafter play the lead
with Miss caprice.
June portrays a mlschievous girl,
Effie Marchand, who gets all her
boarding school companions into no
end Of scrapes. She gets herself in
to trouble by falling into love with
friend of her art teacher. and mar
ries him, OF course this disappoints
her aunt, with whom she lives. But
when the old lady discovers that the
man Effie married is the very one
she had selected long ago, everything
ends happily.
Mention should be made Of the
Tweedle Dunn comedy, The Lucky
Tramp" which is also on the program.
This is one of those trick affairs and
It is doubtless If there ever was a
more comical comedy madethan this
one, Manager Matlock asks all who

performances start promptly at 6:45;
second show at sos; third show at
