ALL-STAR CAST AT THE PALACE TONIGHT

Cheating the public" opening to night at the Palace theatre, is 8 strong story of melodramatic vari, ety and deals with question that is uppermost in the minds of the people. There is no denying the time liness of the story and tho strong sympathetic appeal therein con tained It has plenty of action and aside from the fact that it tries tc force point home, there is no de nying the deep interest an audience will find in this story. At times the scenes unfolded become very pathetic and will bring tear to the eye oi the most unsympathetic.
 The acting honors fall to Enid Markey in the role of Mary Garvip. Her part is quite emotional and she reaches the highest and most appeal ing efforts during these scenes.
 Ralph Lewis offers an artistic char acter as the domineering food profit eer. while BertraM Grassby, as the son, Tom Wilson, as the bully, and Wanda Petit, as Martins daughter, all add a finishing touch to an al ready very satisfactory cast.

EXCITEM AND THRILL A THE
 COLISEUM TONIGHT

Hart Hoxie, alias Cactus" Jim, is caught at last! Wild as an un- tanned maverick. as he would say himself, he was almost literally "roped in" to the motion picture iii which Jack Pickford and Louise Huff appear at the Coliseum theatre ii, Jack and Jill" tonight and tomor- row.
 Reata in hand, brilliant bandana around his neck, and with all the other old familiar accoutrements O. the COW puncher. he was strolline around watching the making of the picture when director William D. Taylor, spying him, sent out dozen of his huskiest "extra" men to bring him in. Hart Hoxie is one of the real old-fashioned cowboys. who, alas, are gradually being transformed into peaceable, silll-hatted citizens. even as the Red Man. It has been whis pered that some of them are now even wearing wrist watches and car. rying swagger stick.
 Hoxie, however, is a COW punchef of the old school, and when Direc- tor Taylor at last induced him to appear in the picture, great was the rejoicing thereat and many were the lessons in lassooing, bronco bustin and other sports, received by Jack Pickford and other venturesomc members of the cast. Jack and Jill'' is story of east and west, vividly contrasted.

Government to Put

OF Soldier Pedlers
Street Vendors in Uniform
Becoming a Nuisance,
Say Officials; Jobbers Are
Blamed for the Practice

Captain Bernard Flood, of the In.
telligence Bureau, U. S. A., and for.
mcrly New York detective, took steps
yesterday to discourage pcddlng by
soldiers on the streets. He appealed
to County Clerk William r. Schneider
who promised his cooperation.
Under the laws of New York State
soldiers who are honorably discharged
are not required to pay for licenses tc
peddle. These are issued by the
County Clerk. Captain Flood said the
streets are overrun with men who
thus obtained licenses, OF which 1,00C
have been issued in three weeks. Cap.
tain Flood feels certain that many OF
the men holding the licenses arc not
entitled to them
Mr. Schneider promised to send all
future applicants for licenses to Major
=. a. Thomas, Provost Marshal, for in
vestigation.
Army heads say the fault lies pri-
marsly With prcfteering jobbcrs, who
eyen advertise for soldiers to sell their
Junk Many soldiers who handled
souvenirs Of the "Wclcomc Home

Mother Burned to
Death in Effort
To Save Children
Rushes Through Flames to
Arouse Two Little Girls,
Who Perish in Their
Sleep; Father Is Injured

In furnace of smoke and fame Mrs
Louise Mercier gave her life yesterday
morning in an attempt to save her
three children, when fire destroyed the
Mercler two story frame cottage on
Oracle Avenue, Richmond Hill Circle.
Two of the daughters, Leonia, six wears
old, and Helen, three. also perished in
the flames, while third daughter,

leap1n1, from second story window.
is so badly injured that she is not ei-
pectcd to live. The father, George. a
signal man for the Long Island Rail
road, also was seriously hurt.
Mercicr told the story of his wife's
heroism from his cot in St. Mary's Hos
pital, Jamaica, yesterday. All were
sleeping on the second floor, he said,
when his wife awoke him at o'clock
and told him the back Of the house was
afre. FLAMES sweeping up the stair
way made escape in that direction i'm
possible.
"I1l jump" Mercicr said to his wife.
"You drop the children out of the win
dow and III catch them"
lie leaped from the window in his
night clothes, and his cries attracted
man passing on nearby road. Be
tween them they used the overcoat of
the stranger after the fashion of a
life net, and Emily, who had come
from her room through smoke and
some fire, jumped safely into the coat.
My wife came to the window once
and then disappeared, as though she
were going to get the other children"
MERCER said. "Shc did not come back
again"
Nciehbors arrived, and they tore
loose section OF picket fence which
MERCER used as ladder in ascending
TO the second story window. A sudden
backdraft shot IL tongue Of flame and
smoke out Of tho tpcn window and
MERCER fell to the ground, breaking an
ankle.

and shortly after the fire apparatus ar.
rived the roof fell in and the three
bodies were found.
