The Kiss Burglar Coming to The Da-
 wis Wed Eve Sept. 24.

A new musical play, The KISS Burglar" will be seen here for the f1rst time Wednesday evening, Sept. A, at the Davis theatre. It scored an in- stantaneous success on the occasion or its premier in Baltimore last spring and scored sensationally when pre- scented at the George. NJ Conan thea tre, New York, where it enjoyed one of the longest and most prosperous runs of the season.
 Described as an entertainment for the tired business woman" it was warmly praised for different humor, it's fresh. piquant melodies. it's spright- ly dance numbers. its series of beau tiful stage pictures and lastly for it's really capable cast, every member of which looked, sang and danced the part as if born to it.
 The story of the play little of which has been allowed to become known in advance. for the obvious reason of net detractiug from the interest of the plot, concerns the Duchess of Orly, from kiss is stolen while she is wis ittrg New York.
 Two scenes in particular. those showing "Humming Bird Alley" in one of the bon ton hotels cn the av enue. and the Della Robia room in select hotel in the Berkshires, have become justly famous as the last word of stake picture painting.
 vSunartness was the aim of the au- thors. and this keynote is admirably carried out by the producers in every department-story. music. stage pie lures and cast The Kiss Burglar should prove one of the most delight ful events of the musical season.

 cording to the report 5S9 applicants for work registered last week. while employers left orders for So3 work ] During the same period, the report states. 661 persons were referred to l jobs. Of this number. S75 were placed. The scarcity is particularly noticeable in respect to rugged lahorers for both factory and outside work.
 From the building trades the de- mand was for carpenters, painters and ! helpers Carpenters, and painters were scarce. but helpers were plenti- l fu1. Electricians and pipe filters reg 1Stered for work, but employers were well supplied with these workers. Orders for bookkeepers and office clerks were easily filled, as there was
 a plentiful supply Of applicants. The textile and rubber industries
 are in the market for skilled help, of
 which there is scarcity
 The metal trades called for ma chin
 ists. machine hands, molders. polish
 CTS and handy men. Machine hands were fairly plentiful and there was fair number of machinists and handy men seeking work. Polishers and molders. however. were scarce.
 The iewelry industries finding that experienced workers are not to be had are taking apprentices.
 The number of chanffeurs, truck drivers. salespeople. shipping and stock clerks seeking wsS far exceeds the orders for such workers.

Manager of Breed Theatre Which Wifi Show New Fairbanks Film Win Not DivuIue Plot of Picture,

Show New Fairbanks Film Win Not
 DivuIge Plot of Picture,
 Its too good to give away" said Manager Zuckerman of the Breed theatre when he was asked to tell the story of Douglas Fatrbanks' forthcom- ing production. His Majesty the American"
 Now I am not going to spoil the anticipation of my patrons by telling the story of Douglas Fairbanks new film. His Majesty, the American in advance. But I will say this: Fair banks has spent more money on this picture than he has ever spent before, because he has made it for release di- rect to the theatres of the country by the United Artists the Big Four which is made up of Mary Pick ford, Charlie Chaplin. Douglas Fair banks and D. W. Griffith.
 American is knockout. It gives Doug a chance to do a lot of entire ly new tricks and I don't hesitate to say that tho picture is far and away the biggeet production that he has ever turned out
 'T1l Jet this much of the secret out. Doug plays the part of young American who simply can't keep out of trouble. He takes hand in all sorts of situations which lead him all over the world. We hnd him first in New York where he tries to show the fire department how it should be run. We find him helping the police raid the den of a king of the underworld. We find him later in Mexico showing the bandits what they 6On't know about their business and then we find him butting-in on the affairs of q lit tie principaHty i'm Europe. It fs the jol1iest nix-up you have ever seen in your life.
 T do not want to say axy<h4ng more at this time -exrep< that we harve got a genuine treat for our .sudiemees; when we show them sHIs hra5esty, Ihol Arnerfcan.'~
