when Dreams Come True" is the ap-
pealing title of the offering which had
so much merit that New York and
Chicago clamored for 1t year, and
Boston and Philadelphia houses were
packed at its presentation every per-
Torrance for six months. The COM
pany OF over forty includes some very
clever singing and dancing artists In
troduced frequently through the story
that has more plot than usually Is
seen In productions of this character.
Staged deliberately and costumed with
an extravaganza that seemingly knows
no limit, the production bids fair to be
one of the prettiest spectacles of the
season. The best in song hits has
been provided for, while the big beau
ty chorus has been at all times one
OF the attractive features. Manager
Morgan evidently thinks he has some
thing worth while, since he has made
special arrangements to have the
Worthington and Fairview cars run
after the performance closes.

Mistaken Identity Causes

C0mPiCdtIoH.
Earle Williams and Katherine Adj
ans are the featured players in the
latest vitagraph production, "a Cen
tlentan of Quality" at the Dixie today.
Aided by the direction OF James
Young, it makes a picture of worth.
This feature adds another to the list
Of well-executed photoplays Of the dual
role type. 1t is so constructed as to
avoid the use OF double exposure. The
English atmosphere maintains the
yitagraph reputation for settings Of
Taste and fitness. The story of mis-
placed identity, from Frederic Van
Rensselaer, Dey's book OF the same
name, evolves a serious complication
Of events giving a man with a natural
sense OF honor a narrow. harassing
scope OF activity. Earle Williams dual
role calls for strong treatment, par
ticularly the part of Lord John Hert-
ford, Lady Mercy's husband, which
circumstance forces him to play. He
lives up to the demands of the char
sacter, assisted by the good work OF
Katherine Adams. George Pierce, as
the English Dean, gives an excellent
character portrayal.

thor Of the code revision law. while
IN Des Moines Friday declared that
there was little question Dut that the

ed directly on the matter 1t Is stated
IN his office that he has had no other
thought than to call tho meetine when
the proper time comes.

sion so that they could have time to
study before,coming to the legislature

"As matter of'fact the law author
izing code revision provides for that
very thing. All members will receive
IN advance copies OF the compiled code
which will show in one column the
present code and in parallel column
the changes suggested. understand
from Chairman Trewin, chairman OF
the commission, that copy for the
compiled code has been In the hands
OF the printers for some time and that

The code commission is progressing
rapidly In the preparation Of bills
which will set out the changes in

every indication that all Of the wor-
