the bill for the last time today 1T the
Ayceum, with continuous show.
Dramas OF the screen usually have
that everybody happy" endinR, but
this Is one that absolutely refuses to
adhere to the set ruler. and violates
the laws of established drama. There
is no soft goo to let the audience sixh
at the last flicker as the hero FATHERS
his heroine in his arms and paints a
rosy picture of future happiness, for
this is q drama as the word is sup

that shows her true artistry. Always

the Lyceum Weekly and other pic
lures. The Lyceum's reputation as the
theater for real Sunday night enjoy
ment is increasing each week, and the
management has planned and ar
ranged to keep up the reputation

ceum has taken on an added s1gnln-
canoe, since its topics are all OF gen.
eral interest. This weeks edition
shows scenes at Halifax, where thou

"SOUARE DECEIVER"
SHOWN AT FOX'S

Harold Lockwood has been seen in
romantic drama, melodrama and
farce, and in THE Square Deceiver.'
his latest Metro wonderplay, we find
him playing a comedy part. True,
there are impressive dramatic mo-
ments in which Mr.. Lockwood figures
in The Square Deceiver," bat for the
most part his role of Billie Van Dyke
is a comedy character-not the broad
kind, but of the light and breezy va
riety. The Square Deceiver' is de-
scribed by Francis Perry Elliott, the
author of the novel, Love Me For
Myself Alone from which the photo
play was adapted, as a joyous comedy
of love and youth. Billie Van Dyke,
the character about whom the plot
centers, is a multi millionaire society
man who, in order to learn if his
dream-girl loves him for himself
alone, or for his money, poses as u
chauffeur. By his action he upsets
the carefully laid plans of one particu-
larry designing mother and thrusts
himself into a. whirl of surprising and
rapid-fire action.
Another mighty good film is His
Smashing Career another of those
rollicking Sunshine comedies that the
Fox studios have been offering for the
past few weeks.
Buried Alive which is the twelfth
chapter of that very exciting serial,
1.-THE Seven Pearls" is also on the
program, together with the new issue
Of the Pathe News, which shows all
the latest views that have been taken
of the boys in Uncle Sans canton
ments.
Another big special show has been
engaged for Sunday night, the feature
Of which will be big, unusual drama
with that prince of Spanish actors,
George Hernandez, in the leading
role. The name of the picture is
"Up?-or Down." and it is said by
those who have seen it that the plot
is just as unusual as the title. Many
other superior short subjects will also
be shown.
Great interest has been aroused by
the announcement of the Fox feature
for Monday and Tuesday, which is
1.-The Trouble Makers in which those
two little imps. Jane and Katherine
Lee, are the stars. 4

LOCAL men
ASK STATE
FOR PLACES
BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. March Is. -
Just now when Governor Goodrich
with the help of the Indiana Republi-
can committee officers is sitting appli.
cants for various State jobs in order
that places may be filled, it develops
that two Richmond men are under the
microscope. both of whom are being
favorably considered and may land.
One Of these Is George Matthews,
formerly county clerk Of Wayne coun-
ty who is after deputyship In the de-
partment Of factory inspection.
1t is said that Matthews. as we'll as
several other Richmond Republicans.
applied for one of the chief deputy
ships. but what Matthews may land is
travelling deputyship or factory in
spector.
No Official Announcement.
While no official announcement has
been made and none need be expected
until the appointment is formally
made, it is regarded as quite likely
that Matthews will land travelling
inspectorship. He has received the
endorsement, it Is said. OF the Wayne
county Republican chairman as we'll
as the district chairman, and in addi-
ton is said to have been endorsed by
various prominent Republicans OF his
home county and city.
The other Richmond man whose
claim for recognition is being consid-
cred is William A. Bond, city attor-
ney of Richmond, who would like to
become member of the Indiana pub
lie service commission.
Bonds claim for the post rests chief
ly in his familiarity with public serv-
ice corporations, due to his work be.
fore the commission in the last three
years.
1t Is said that Bond is one of two or
three applicants for the place who is
receiving consideration, though it is by
no means certain that Bond is to be
the favored man.
