CLARK
REPEATS GOOD PICTURE

"Bab's Burglar" will be seen again
at the BaSalle today and tomorrow
The charming star pleased her
many admirers yesterday and
romped through the five reels of
school girl escapades in a most de-
hghtful manner. She is perfectly
natural as the young society bud
with her first love affair. her first
car and her first bank account.
What she does to all three are most
amusing and the entire picture has
been so nicely staged and we'll pro-
duced that IL affords a most pleas
ant hours pasttime.
The hourly schedule, starting the
feature every hour on the hour has
proved very convenient TO holiday
shoppers who wish to rest that
length Of time and still see a com
plete show.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.

ION Trial is the attraction at the
Auditorium. Ii tells a story OF a
murder trial in an original way In
the presenting cast are Sydney Aims
worth, Barbara Castleton and Little
Mary McAilister. The first scene
opens in a courtroom and as the va
riods witnesses take the stand TO
testify, the scenes revert TO those
surrounding the murder and as the
testimony ends the scene returns to
the court room and the witness is
still in the stand talking as though
there had been no interruption. 1t
was a wonderful stage production
and it's a most excellent picture,
and is being repeated today.
