IYCEJM THEATER.

Admirers of Jack Pickford and Louise Huff will gather in force at tho Lyceum today when their latest picture, Mile a Minute KendalI' will have it's final presenta ton in this city. In this superb picturization of famous stage success by Owen Davis, Jack Pickford has one of the finest roles in his career as a cinema star and he makes the most of it. The story is essentially dramatic, the situ- ations being strong, but relieved by wholesome comedy. In MT. Picl1ford's support in this pictuge is his sister Lottie, who is seen fot the first time in a picture with her illustrious brother.
 Sunday a double featured program will be presented. There will be Carlyle Blackwell in The Appearance of Evil" a modern up to date story which will interest everyone. The orchestra will give concert and play all the latest and most popular song hits.
 The romance and fun of the average Central American revolution are admirably brought out in Less Than Kin" starring Wallace Reid and featuring Ann Little, which will be shown at the Lyceum next Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday. This picture is a mixture of thrills, mystery and laughs. The first laugh comes when Reid as Lewis Rickers. a dare-devil American, who is sojOurning in Gen. tral America, because he is wanted" in the United States, tries to drill q motley Central Am merican army, which is mounted on mules, burros and horses.

What Dr. Petit Saw and Said When He Reported Dicky's Condition
 
 to Madge.

My nother-in-law and I waited for what seemed an eternity before Dr. Petit came back from Dickys room. I knew that Katie was needed below stairs, felt sure also that Dicky would not return to his mothers room untl after he had slept, therefore l felt safe in going to my own room, re- leasing Katie from attendance upon ''Richard, Second" and bringing the baby back with me to be with Mother Graham.
 I thrilled with mother pride and de- light as I picked up my tiny son. Katie had employed her time, as al- ways when she is with him, in attirlng him in his very best frillies, and l was very sure that no more winsome in- fant had ever been taken to grand mothers bedside.
 "oh. Granzie's booful, precious baby boy! Come to your Granzie, pessusY" my mother-in-law crooned with the baby talk which always seems so incongruous coming from her rather grim lips, but which she frequently employs in talking to the haby.
 Pm always sorry to hear her talk thus, for it Is one of my theories that a child even when too young to under stand. should never hear "baby tall" or incorrect forms of English, but the problem of changing my mother-ln-

What Madge Remembered.

Obediently I sank into the nearest chair which chanced to be one facing the door, and when pr. Petit came down the hall from Dicky's room and through the half-open door, the baby and I were the first persons to meet his gaze.
 I heard a deep intake of his breath, and for an imperceptible moment he halted as if he'd been struck, while into his eyes leaped something I had seen there more than once before, the old hopeless expression, which always made me feel guilty in some un accountable fashion.
 I had forgotten until I saw him halt in the doorway that this was the first glimpse of the baby. He had gone to Washington before the birth of my little lad. With an embarrassment which I hated but couldn't shake off, I rose from my seat awkwardly enough, my lips framing the question nearest my heart.
 "Dicky? What do you think?"
 Dr. Pettits eyes held mine with un derstanding and encouragement. Whatever emotion had passed over him had vanished. He was once more the kindly, efficient physician, with almost an exaggerated professional manner.
 "If your husband can only bring himself to submit to a certain routine of sleep, food and relaxation, but, above all, sleep, there's no reason why he shouldn't be as we'll as ever in comparatively a short time" he said slowly gravely "f should judge that he has been working tremendously hard lately. If he continues that sort of thing, or, indeed, any activity at all just now, I cannot answer for the consequences"
 What about his eyes ?" My mother in-law rose on one elbow. Her voice was raucous in it's tensity.
 Did Dr. Petit Hear?
 "I cannot give a final opinion upon them, Mrs. Graham, for I'm not an oculist. But from my casual examina- tion of them I don't believe there is any injury which complete rest in semi darkened room will not straigh- ten out He evidently has been using. or rather, misusing them, atrociously."
 His last sentence was a question rather than statement, and he looked directly at me.
 He's been working in his studio,' returned sadly, without our know ledge. But he has promised me to rest, and if you'll only talk ehis case pr. Petit, Pm sure everything will be all right"
 Thank you, I'll do my best" he re- turned graVely, then, almost shyly: May I not be introduced to the new heir?"
 Let him thank you for the beautiful flowers you sent me at his birth," I said warmly. They were simply wonderful"
 That he hadn't heard a word I said I knew by the look in his face, which was bent tenderly over my baby.
