Baltimore did following the fire

The suggestion has come from
more than one source that a

costs in every department, buying
material at lowest price. and as
sembling labor in such guam

least delay in carrying out the

LYCEUM THEATFCR.

A great gripping drama of the liv- ing problem, sex attraction, is '',The Natural Law, which the Lyceunl Players are scoring so tremendous a triumph in this week. The audience are pleased with it as is evidenced by the crowded houses that witness it's every performance. The story is not vulgar, and there are many things in it which will prove of value to those not acquainted with the sterner prob- Iems of life.
 Next Monday afternoon the Lyceum Players will put on a play that appeals to all. It Is called "Pals First.' The story is about the characters of two delightful crooks. The play also serves to introduce Claude kimball the new leading man. Needless to say MT, Kim ball is an actor of finish, who has been a star in many Broadway at fractions as well sls a vaudeville head liner. He is; young, handsome, has 8 most pleasing voice and manner and is la every way an actor that should be more than popular as the leader of the male contingent of the Lyceum Players.
