EMPIRE

Dorothy Dalton, the talented Para mount star whose acting in such nota- ble successes as Love Letters" "The Flame of the Yukon" ''The Price Mark" and other recent screen plays will be remembered, is the star of the feature at the Empire theatre in "Flare-up Sal"
 In the role of Sally Jo,' Miss Dal- ton is first seen living near one of the mushroom mining towns that sprung up in California in the days of the gold rush of '49. In gunny sack rags and tatters Miss Dalton is still attractive. She goes to the Looloo Bird, a noted resort, and is lured into an unconscious dance by the music which 30 charms the proprietor of the place, Dandy Dave Hammond CWilliam Conklin) that he secures permission to keep her there.
 Sal is ever ready to enter into an argument verbal or physical and throughout the entire picture she dominates everything and everybody, earning the name of "F1are-Up" Sal. because of her impetuosity. Of course there is a splendid love story running through the picture-delin- eating the love of Sal for the Red Rider, a notorious road agent. who holds up the Booloo Bird while he dances with Sal, later returning to the town in the guise of a minis

LYRIC

The largest audience that has ever packed the Lyric, witnessed the pre- sentation Monday night by the Poli players of the best of all farce come dies Ready Money That the ef- forts of the cast were appreciated, is evidenced by the hearty reception given the members.
 Ready Money is play worth while. It teaches that you only need money in order to get more money. In fact the principal character in Ready Money has it thrust upon him.
 While the play is not intended to be serious, yet there is a dainty little love story running through it. How ever the predominating feature is the hearty laughs created by the novel lines in the play.
 It would not be amiss to mention the fact that the scenic effects of this production, are far beyond the ori- ginal when the play was first produc- ed on Broadway. You should sec Ready Money

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
PLAZA

''The Gun Woman" with Texas Guinan shows three times today at the Plaza and judging from the Smount of comment it's inaugural showing Monday gave vent to, it should register enormous crowds at the popular playhouse during the day. It Is one of those gun-play pictures that is just crammed with lively, ex- citing action and Miss Guinan has an admirable role and a splendid sup porting est.
 "Clubmates," a singing quartet, which by the way, is the best local theatre has offered in many a month, heads the vaudeville program. Bren- nan and Davis, d clever pair in a skit that intermingles mirth with music nd song; Glendower and Manion in . novel comedy sketch that is going we'll and Warner and Astor, a couple of ninble-footed youths in a dandy dancing diversion complete the vaude- vilfO hEll.
 Tomorrow will bring the much her aided Clara Kimball Young produce tion of Shirley Kaye" a story that shows the interrelation of social life with high finance of today.
 It is a tale of American life; smart society with its eXquisitely gowned women and high-born noblemen plays before your eyes in it's beautiful es- tates. All is not vanity, however, for Shirley Kaye fights to protect her own just as truly and as resourcefully as the Alaskan Girl fights for her man when he lies helpless on the ground and the wolves are circling around him.
 How she finally emerges, the con queror, and also finds a husband for herself, makes a stirring photo drama. such as Miss Young's countless admirers always expect-and get from her.
