AT THE LYCEUM

retorted, and as I crossed the door and
went slowly down the hall I heard
Dicky's voice high-pitched, reproach
full, break into an impassioned TRADE,
in which there repeatedly occurred the
names of Edith, Rita and z. Stern,
/ found myself shaking with anxiety
and l stopped outside the nursery
door to pull myself together. So much
depended upon this interview with
Lillian. If she could persuade Dicky
to give up all idea of the play he
would be able to go back to the camp
with no anxiety dragging at him. For
I meant to say no word Of my going
to work until he should have had time
to find himself again.
If it hadn't been for Marion ! don't
know how I should have endured the
half-hour Of waiting. But the child's
delight in the baby was SO enthusiast
tic, her demands to be allowed to hold
him and carry him and wheel him
were so numerous that my hands and
brain were kept busy until I heard
Dicky's door close sharply and the
sound Of footsteps in the hall.
How Dicky Faced the Facts.
where's the crow and the carving
knife, also the pie called humble, and
the ranment named sackcloth'? Bring
EN- along, I'm ready for the entire
list"
Dfcky's voice sounded gaily from
the door of the nursery, as my alcove
room was now invariably called. But
as / looked up at him quickly I saw
that while there was undisguised re-
lief in his face and voice, yet his gale
ty was palpably forced. No man likes
to have it proved to him that he's
committed a financial blunder or that
his Judgment of people has been at
fault, and Dicky has always been lof-
tily intolerant of any other opinion
than his own.
His words were directed at me, yet
his eyes avaided mine, and the look
did catch from them was full of
wounded pride. I was at my wits
end to know in just what words to
couch my answer to his drollery, and
Lillian's face beside him gave me no
aid.
It was little Marion who unwit-
tingly saved the situation by giving
me time to regain my poise.
A Smiling Diversion.
ooh, Uncle Dicky- bird!' she carroll
ed, giving him the name she had be-
slowed upon him from their first &C
quaintance, and which her mother had
vainly endeavored to have her change
in spite Of Dicky's protests that he
wouldn't have any other appellation
from her lips--"see, I'm holding the
baby all by myself"
saw his face light up with pleas
ure at sight of the child, and he hur-
ried across the room to her as If he1
presence afforded him a reprieve from
an ordeal he dreaded.
Now see here. Mary Ann" he
drawled, then laughed at the flash
of Indignation which came into the
child's face at the distortion Of her
name with which Dicky delights to
tease her, who gave YOU permission

FOXiS THEATFyR.

Charlie Chaplin, In the long-awaited
Shoulder Arms" packed Fox'E thea
ter last night and will be continued
all this week In addition to the resu-
lar Fox show.
Shoulder Arms' introduces Char
lie as q private In the T. S. Army. 1t
Is full Of splendid comedy situations,
the most laughable one being where
the hero. while behind the German
lines, dons a device painted to look
like the trunk OF a tree. BY Its aid
he succeeds in killing several Ger
mans, also In liberating his captured
pal. One stroke at one time fails TO
kill boche because he Ia Of too
large dimensions. A chase then fol-
lows which is thrilling as well as
coulical. Charlie at the crucial mo
ment eludes his pursuers by simply
standing still, making himself ap-
pear like tree without any
branches The irritation OF "cooties''
Is guarded against by the addition
OF big nutmeg crater, and a lat
trap intended as a defensive measure
serves only TO get his fingers into
endless difficulties when he attempts
to salute while 1t is fastened to his
dreds Of laughs during the running
of the three reels. and Charlie has
the sympathy Of the audience with
him all the while. 1t is g. picture
that offers splendid entertainment al
the present time and will be present
cd at Fox's all this week.
Theda Bara in The She Devil" is
the added attraction at Fox's these
three days. and 1t is always a big
event for many screen fans whom
Theda Rara is to be seen in a new
film play. Her new production is
m elodramatic with touch Of comedy
running throughout and gives the
star some Of the best scenes of her
career. The action takes place in a
typical village in Southern Spain hid
den away in the mountains and Is
replete with many tense and grip
ping situations The vaudeville Is
fully Up to the usual Fox standard
Of four high-class acts.

voice and laughter.
His mother didn't appear to have
heard him, but busted herself in the
transfer of Marion, who still held the
baby tightly, to her own room.
MY Own Wonderful Girl
AS the door closed behind the lit

~.
For the love of goodness, Dicky,
don't spoil it all" You've been such
a brick about the whole business so
far
He stood lrresolute for a moment,
then crossed the room to her. put his
hands upon her shoulders and look
ed down into her eyes
TITS YOU who have been the brick,
old girl" he said fondly. The next
moment he had kissed her lightly on
the cheeks and smilingly turned her
toward the door.
Il know you won't mind" he said
persuasvely, while my heart beat suf-
focatingIy. He had forgiven Lillian,
had accepted her condition. but what
was his real attitude toward me?
Being kicked out?" Lillian flashed
al him. "Oh, no, I love it.'
The next moment Dicky had closed
the door behind her and was coming
toward me.
Don't be mad by me, sweetheart
he pleaded coaXingly, and at the words
I rushed to him impetuously, found
myself swept off my feet by his arms.
"Angdy at you, Dicky," I gasped as
