This screen comedy is iH- Ecctous. It is SO real that one can almost hear the speaking and get immediately onto the situations. The company is good and the Mutual Weekly is also one that contains some good stuff.
 Jane" was first given to tho speaking stage about 15 years ago and with a Frohmau company went laughing it's way around the United States then doubled back while every stock company that could get hold of the script put the play on. It is as good a hit on the screen as it was on the real boards This bill will remain at the Dream tonight and tomorrow.

MILLIONAIRE'S

Difference of 30 Years in Ages of Couple Is Cause of Efforts to
 Prevent Wedding.

NEW YORK, Jan. I2.-A difference of 50 years between his age and that of his prospective bride and the objections of his six children are not going to stop John B. Manning, S3 years old, millionaire banker and capitalist, from marrying Miss Hon. ora May O'Bricn, 2S.
 Answering the reports that his chil' Gren and friends are determined to have the marriage stopped as soon as they learned he had obtained a license. Mir. Manning, whose fortune is estimated at $15,OOO,OOO, announced with great positiveness that the ccre' mony would be performed in s. PatricEs cathedral by Cardinal Far. ley. Members of the bankers fam, fly say the match is the continuation of a two-weeks' acuuaintanceship with Miss O'Brien. Mr. Manning insists he has known Miss O'Brien for many years.

Boxers Were Busy.
Filled With Dances Mysticism Fairy Folks

In the realm of right and left iabs and uppercuts no champion ships changed hands during 1916, al- though the title of bantamweight champion was cIouded when Johnny ErtIe of St. Paul, was awarded de- cision over champion Johnny Will Hams, of Baltimore, on a foul. Will Hams, the least of all the cham pions in size, is generally credited as the champion still.
 In the featherweight class Johnny Kilbane, of Cleveland, stands out supreme. His only battle of cham pionship calibrc, against George Chaney, at Cedar Point, Ohio, on September 4, resulted in an easy victory by the knockout route in the third round.
 Freddie Welsh was the busiest champion of them all, for he took part in numerous ten-round node cision affairs. In two bouts in New York against Benny Leonard, Welsh was credited with one victory and one defeat, but neither was to a de- cision and there was merely a qucs- ton of awarding points on which to base the popular decisions rendered. On Labor day, at Colorado Springs, Welsh was awarded the referees de- cision over Charlie White, of Chi cago, after twenty rounds of com paratively tame milling.
 As has been the case for several years, neither the welter nor middle weight championship rests solidly upon any one brow. In both diyi- sions there are many claimants, though general sentiment and the combined opinion of experts awarded the best claim among the middle weights to Mike Gibbons.
 Jack Dillon and Battling Levinsky are digputing the claim to the .light-heavyweight championship. Dill lon was rated as the leader in this division by boxing authorities early in the year, but a defeat by Le- whisky, Tn Boston, last autumn, shaved his claims to a certain de- gree in the estimation of some ex- perts. However, Dillon's defeat of Tim Cowler, whom he knocked out in two rounds, and his easy victory over Frank Moran in New York, June 29, which was followed by his knockout of Jim Flynn, at Dewey, Okla, on July 4, gives him a margin over the New York contender.
 Standing alone among the heavy weights. Jess Willard spent a year of practical inactivity His bout with Frank Moran, which he cap. tured in Q decisive manner in a New York ring, March 25, left his title
