FOX'S THEATER.

Tom Mix, in The Coming of the Law" the latest Sunshine comedy, and other novelties are featured at Fox's tonight.
 A woman who defies the world for her ideals-such is Theda Sara in her latest role. Tn The Sirens Song" which will be shown at FoX's tomor- row, the world famous Fox star plays the part of a young fisher maid of Brittany. Spurned by her lover, she makes her way to Paris, where her voice wins fame and fortune. It also brings to her a man who loves her dearly. Her girlhood lover ap- pears however, and under the guise of religious fervor, he weans her away from the man who has brought happiness into her life. By prac- Using her artful wiles upon him, the unhappy girl discovers that his re- ligious zeal is merely a cloak to hide his hypocrisy. There is beauty in every setting of 'The Sirens Song" and it offers Miss Bara exceptional opportunity to exhibit her great ver- satility.
 Episode Three of "The Tigers Traif' entitled The Human Chain, opens with the deadly tarantula SlcSpl1lS up bello bOyu arm. The exciting contest for possession of the tiger idol continues. Grim Cor don plans a horrible death for Belle but falls into his own trap. Young Gordon escapes with the idol but is captured by Salonga and the tiger worshippers and thrown to the sacred tiger. Grim Gordon's place is taken by his brother Randolph, who is even more implacable than the dead Cor don. This chapter fairly teens with the action and thrills demanded by serial followers, and is fully up to the Pathe brand. The latest Pathe News, Mutt and Jeff and other small featuretteS will provide additional entertainment, and four acts of Fox vaudeville will complete the program
 Next Monday, Manager Mcdonald has booked in the present reigning sensation in New York vaudeville circles. This is the famous jazz band of the Twenty seventh division, that created such a furore at Keith's Pal ace theater, two weeks ago that it was imm ediately booked over the 'big time" commencing June 2d These are the same musicians that set the toes of Paris tingling, with their syncopated music, and were afterwards selected to play at the opening of the peace conference.

 The fighting fronts. if they can be called such, in the district south of A1changel are principally along the line of the railroad and the Dwina river and it's tributaries. The Ameri- can troops reached their present positions up the rivers by means of boats when these streams were navigable.

American soldiers in peasant villages are on good terms with everybody. By their exemplary conduct, frank and fair dealing, they have won the respect of the men-folk. I have been to numerous villages and found that the American soldier was donat- ing a part of his ration to take care of hungry mouths, especially children. The American Red Cross was able to effect the delivery to each of our boys a Christmas stocking. l found that part of the contents of many of these stockings had made their way into the humble houses where sweets wer unheard. of.

LYCEUM THEATE.R

The first vaudeville bill of Fare well Week. will be presented at the Lyceum theater for the last time to- night This big five-act bill includes The Seven Bracks in the greatest of all acrobatic acts and four other big acts that are of the highest quality. The picture Don't Change Your Husband,' is a star feature that is we'll worth seeing. This feature is charming one in every respect. The costumes displayed by Gloria Swan son, who plays the leading woman's role, are a delight to the fen1ini1e contingent in the audience. It is an admirable photoplay from the stand points of conception, treatme ent, act ing, photography and production, and it's entertaining features are so pro- nounced that it stands quite alone in all respects.
 Tomorrow there will be complete change of program. Another fve-act vaudeville bill will be presented and it promises to be fully as good as the one shown the first half of the week, if not better. The new bill will con- sist of Holiday in Dixieland" as the headline act (this is a singing, talking
 
 pie and is one of the best colored of ferings in the country); Marie and Company, in 'HThe Immigrants" a good comedy act; Bert Draper, the Jazz Preacher; Smith and Keefe, two men in comedy singing and piano. playing offering, along with another big special novelty act. This is the last vaudeville program that will be presented at the Lyceum this season and it is sure winner. The picture which has been selected for tomor- row is The Poppy Girls Husband" ;" starring William s. Hart His ad- mirers will discover in this picture that he has temporarily doffed chaps and sombrero to play the role of a convict and denizen of the under world.

 "Fi-Fi of the Toy Shop" is nnusi- cal fantasy which appeals to both young and old children and many older folk often wonder what would happen if the bisque and wooden creatures of the toy shop should be suddenly endowed with life. 'Fi-Fi" presents this theme in a, most de- lightful and amusing fashion. The producers furnish elaborate costumes and scenic equipment which will make the play most specta cular.

His fighting qualities command alike the respect of the British who are in command of the North Russian Expedition, and of the Bolshevik who never attack ex- cept with a largely superior force and who have learned by experience that the American soldier can shoot straight
 The above in general was the news brought back from Archange1 and given out at American Red Cross headquarters by Major C. T. Williams of Baltimore, head of the Red Cross Mission to North Russia, who has just returned from six months stay at the top of the world.
 Major Williams and party left this country on August 25, 1918, on the steamship Ascutney which was as signed to the Red Cross for this trip, and which also carried cargo for civil and military relief valued at about $1,5o0,000.
