FOX'S THEATER.

Harry Carey, in Riders of Ven | geance," and an excellent vaudeville
 show will be shown for the last time 1 tonight.
 For tomorrow night FOX's will of ] fer an excellent double feature pro
 gram, with Taylor Holmes in a five l reel comedy drama entitled "A ReSu- 1 lar FelloW' and the charming little Metro star Viola Dana, in Some Bride.' "A Regular Fellow" is a 1 combination of romance and farce with plenty of clean and deIiSl,tfu | comedy situations throughout. Some | Bride is a picture of a matrim Onia 1 miN-up with Miss Dana, radiant and captivating ng-just the ideal type to play the rebellious bride.
 Madame Traverse, the brilliant Fox dramatic star, will make an ap- peal for new followers when her latest play The Rose of the Vest will be shown at Foxs the first half of next week. Miss TraVerse's recent offerings have shown her as an act ress of great emotional power, and the present story, it is said, was built up to give her one of the most in teresting roles that could be devised The story is that of a brave woman who fights against the plan of her brutal husband to sell their daughter for a gold field he has secretly dis covered. At one point the husband, absent for several years is supposed to be dead, and Miss Traverse, as Rose LaBelie, is about to marry the head of the mounted police, when her husband re-appears. The situations are described as intensely dramatic and full of suspense. Rose of the Vest is declared to be the strongest play in which this beautiful and talented star has appeared in.
 As an added attraction Charlie Chaplin will also be offered on Mon
 day, in his funniest tWo-reel com edy ''Shanghaied." Those who re- memb Der Charities experiences down on the water front, how he was ieht- ly tapped on the head with a high powered mallet, and his subsequent tribula ations on ship-board as cooks assistant, will certainly want to see this comedy epic once more.
 The latest Pathe News, a Harold Lloyd comedy, the Topics of the Day and four acts of Fox vaudeville will afford additional entertainment.

 And in the morning we had both = slept so soundly that Betty sulked over our hurried breakfast.
 ''Taint no use atall cooking for [folks what don't take timo to eat like duality" she declared.

At the Inn, Saturday

At tue nm, SdlQruAN.
 Thank heaven, Joan Darlint, l am still young enough to look crisp de- spite a slecpless night. Not that I wanted to sleep particularly. Waking dreams are often sweetest So | lay there with moonlight streaming across the water and over the creamy sand and through my window and over my bed while imagination made melodra- ma in my mind.
 l saw the monstrous working of war. With Eric Wallis 1 passed through it's hundred hclls. And with him l finally came back to normal life again, where people live and move in peaceful occupations and actually know whit laughter is, and small talk, and pretty pleasures.
 Understand as never before the re- luctance of the thinking soldier to talk War" Above all, I want to help him forget l want to lead his thoughts toward Life.
 This. Joan, I find to he the aim not only of my self but of everybody else at the hotel. Men, women and chill dren have banded together with the one apparent purpose of diverting my warrior if not actually capturing and binding him With chains of flowers.
 Rich, Self-impOrtant business men corral him in porch corners.
 'How're you fixed, Cap'n?" I hear them ask. "Found your niche, old man. in the WOrkaday? Got your civil career mapped and Charted? Be cause if you're thinking of anything in my line I'd be honored to have you meet my friend Vanderbillion--" etc, etc.
 The wives of these men fall over one another getting up parties for him.
 Dear fellow! How he must long to see some nice girls and enjoy social life again. Er-did you say he has money? oh, {, writer, I simply adore writers. So subtle -wonder- full. I wonder if he could help Mar jOrie with Ter essays.
 And the GTRLS-WeIl Joan, I can only remark that MT. B. Shaw puts it mildly when he says it is the woman who does the pursuing, not the man. Debutantes, ripe social blossoms, in tellectual collegiettes and wistful wall flowers all have their nets spread, and some are using the harpoon. My own methods are truly artistic by cornpari- son.
 
 Several times I have walked straight up to a buzzing galaxy of beauties and otherwise, and rescued ninl-just like that. q could never have done it but for my goOdlooling clothes. I drop this philosophic truth in passing: Women dress for other women more than they do for men.)
 The Captain took his rescues quietly but gratefully, I thought. We went sailing, and l sent a paen of thanks to high heaven that ] had learned about living on the shores of Lake Erie.
 'G knew you could sail" he said, looking at me in his Quietly-apprai ing way, with the half-smile. q bet you can do a fast game of tennis, too, and swim"

 I put down my cup half-drained. "Remember Pm not the efficiency expert you are, l laughed IT m going to get into that taxi this minute and let the driver have the minute to spare.'
 Hell take it to monkey with the engine and make it up on his way to

 "Ill let you have all developments I promised, and the knowledge that I,illian's clear brain and loving heart were at my service frightened con- siderably the burden of anxiety I was bearing about affairs at the school.
 My journey schoolWaTl wasn't particularly pleasant one, for besides my worry concerning the behavior of Mrs. Stockbridge, l was frankly anxious as to my fathers reception of the news that the woman who had bounded him would hound him no longer.
 I didn't know in what manner Lillian meant to convey the news to him. I only knew that l must affect complete ignorance of the whole mat ter My fathers heart would be broken if he ever knew of my dra- matic experience with the woman whose existence he had tried so hard to keep from me.

SUNDAY NIGHT AT THE PALACE

The Palace is offering another double feature program for Sunday night. Norma Talmadge will be seen in the dramatic production "ThC Children of the House." The other feature being beautiful Bessie Bar riscale in "Tanelcd Threads" one of the most talked of photoplays on. Broadway. The story is of a young wife who tried to pull the we'll known jealousy act and her foot slipped the first time. Hubby had been jaZzing around with all sorts of women, most of, them married, but the first time she tried it she got caught. This is just the start. The maze of dO- mestic difficulties that ensued justly warrants the title "Tangled Threads There is a smashing climax to this picture, climax full of suspense and mystery and a thrill that will pull you out of your seat. Other photo plays include William Duncan in ''The Man of Night and several Oth- CTS. Don't miss Sunday nights pro- gram.

 How wonderful it is,' he said, as II he were thinking aloud, 'to be here, with all this-' he made a ges- ture that took in the land and sea. the sky and all the people of the earth, and YOU, doing so much for me- His gesture finally settled into a lean- ing of his whole body toward me. 'You're splendid, you know"
 T didn't know," I laughed though every fibre in was thrilling be- cause he thought me "spIendid''
 Everybody is being nice to you," l went on. "You're a war-lion, you know"
 That's just it. If I hadn't the khaki and the feathers and those stripes on the sleeve would they do it?''

 T believe YOU might. You'd be good to a baldheaded man with a squint You're different. And you haven't an aX to grind
 "Oh, haven't I thought"
 He looked at me in that quiet, searching way he has.
 Lets cut that afternoon tea thing of Mrs. Aliens. I'm tired being a War-lion. I want to be a fluffy dog gic. Let's go to Sunset Point"
