The appointment OF Henri Cas-
adesus to his high post OF adninistra-
tor at the Gaiet Lyrique in Paris. has
been misconstrued by certain music
writer's on the press to mean that
the announced tour OF the Society des
Instruments Anciens, of which he is
the founder and n OF its leading
members, Will be abandoned. NJ. Cas-
adesus has secured permission from
the French government, which sub
sidises this theater, to come to this
country with his noted musical or
g~anization. and to appear in the con-
certs which have been arranged for
him by the French-American Associa-
ton for Musical Art.
Mile Magdaleine Brard. the remark
able young French pianist who was
accorded the distinction of successive
appearances as soloist with the Paris
Conservatoire orchestra last season,
and subsequently, won the highest ar
tistic praises from New York critics
after her recital at Aeolian hall and
the Metropolitan Opera House. is the
only recent artist of tender years to
win substantial recognition from
as one critic observed, but plays years
ahead. The Freneh-American Asso-
ckation for Musical Art, which direct
ed the u of the celebrated Paris
Conservatoire Symphony orchestra
last season. has arranged Il tour for
Mile Brard which will give more
than 100 of the principal American
cities an opportunity to hear her
wonderful and mature art and thus
confirm the judgment Of the Paris and
New York critics.

 AT THE ALCAzAR
Stirring Drama of North west and the Klondike
 in Gold Days

What good woman has not been dis tressed by the thought that some day
 she might have to make a bitter choice between two evils?
 None perhaps.
 That is the situat tion that confronted Joan Gray within a few moments after her arrival in the famous mining town of Dawson City during the gold mad days of the Klondike rush.
 Enticed to the town by the proprietor of notorious dive, Joan is compelled to choose between him and the wicked crowd that infests the place. Abhorring Gold Dust Barker, the proprietor, Joan chooses the crowd and offers her self to the highest bidder And she is won by Jim Blood the cur, o-called be- cause he is despised by his associates
 as a drunken brute. But his heart is pure gold.
 The story of "Paid in Advance gets into the blood 1t arouses once more the fire that impelled people to rush headlong into the Klondil1e seeking for gold and happiness, and finding as most of them did, only the dead ashes of re-
 morse and the dregs of despair. With an all-star cast of players. in- | cluding such notable artists as Dorothy | Phillips Priscilla Dean, William Stowell and Lon Chancey, there has been pro- i duced a photodrama of the Canadian | w1lds and the bleak, snow-capped wastes | of the Yukon that will live long in your memory.
 ] It is a heart burning, intense human interest play from the fozen lands.

With the most expensive cast of 20 persons ever used in a picture, and money not spared in any detail of pro- duction, Her Kingdom of Dreams,
 starring Anita Stewart, is now showing at the Rialto. The storygis of young country girl, Judith Rutledge, who comes to the city, gets position as stenographer in the bank. owned by James Warren, becomes his private sec retary and marries his son, at the dying bankers request, in order to help the young man carry on the business. This son, Fred Warren. is made to believe before he meets Judith, that his brother Jim forged check on the bank. The brothers are in love with the same woman, Car1otta Stanmore, the real forger When Jim is killed in an auto mobile accident, Carlotta tells Fred that his brother is the guilty party, and Fred shields the dead mans name by telling his father he himself stole the money
 After the marriage, Fred's sister, and Carlotta make things very unpleasant for Judith and she determines to leave her husband, thinking that he cares for Carlotta How she finds valuable papers and clears up the domestic tangle as well as being the means of straighten- ing out the business affairs, makes one of the strongest and best stories ever told on the screen.

THE LOTTERY MAN"
 COMES ID STRAND
One of the Brightest Come
 dies of All Filmdom, With Laughs Galore

Wallace Reid, star of a score of sue cesses and one of the handsomest men the camera has ever caught for the screen, comes to the Strand theatre today in his latest Paramount success. bright, rollicking comedy, "The Lottery Man." adapted from the stage success of the same name.
 The famous star has been seen in many and varied roles. Now he comes straight comedian, and he is a dangerous rival for those whose regulations depend solely upon their funmakng ability. MT.
 Reid puts into his humorous depictions
 the same art that has made him famous
 in other roles, and in The Lottery Man.
 he has a part through which he rollickS
 in a delightful manner.
 The star is cast as the reporter on a small town newspaper. Small town jour nals don't make much money, neither do the men who work on them. and both the reporter and his paper were up against it. But the reporter gets an inspiration. He is popular in the town. and tales of lot teries in other places have aroused much interest.
 So he goes to the powers that rule the | newspaper and explains his scheme. Why | not start a lottery, with tickets at a sum within everyones reach, and have the re porter for the prize? The possibilities are realized at once, and the big lottery l is announced.
 l The sale of tickets proceeds rapidly and 1 the paper and the reporter see fortune i looming up ahead. And then come com ] plications. The reporter falls in love. To
 make things worse, the girl accuses him l of being mercenary and will have noth- I ing to do with him as long as the lottery | is kept up.
 l He tries to persuade the paper to stop | the lottery, but there is nothing doing. | Too many tickets have been sold to be
 recalled, and besides the paper needs the
 money. The reporter then tries to buy | up all of the tickets outstanding, but
 without any success, and the big draw 1 ing comes off.
 1 The town old maid wins the big prize. | But she never talk - it for fate relents | and the young mans difficulties are all strengthened out in a highly humorous | climax.
 1 A capable cast appears in support of | the star, including Harrison Ford and other well-known players The Lottery Man" will be at the Strand today, Fri day and Saturday, with Miss Ethel Mae Barker, the famous volinist, as an added | attraction.
