Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-03-10
At the Palace.

She's a real baby vamp. So says
everybody and most everybody
was present to see her do it. Crowd
ed houses greeted the finished pic
lures in the special attraction MAX
ing Movies" showing for the week
at the Palace theatre, Moline. The
local cast of ham" actors put more
comedy in their antics than Chap
lin, Douglas and Bill Hart ever
dreamed of-the vampire Of the play
shaking an especially wicked Shout
der. Views of the audiences are
also shown Worth seeing. In Lots
and Lots Of 1t" Joseph Greenwaid
and his capable company give a
clever bit of Potash and Perlmutter
humor that is remarkably well pre-
scented. Jack Goldie in odds and
Ends"proves versatile, making a
hit with his whistling. Most of the
fun which Charles De Lea and
Grace Orma put over is due to the
Ieanness of the latter. If you like EN-
thin see Grace. A pleasing novelty
is furnished by Jess and Dell, the
human puppets, and the leaping
CANNES belonging to Herbert keep
the children in an uproar.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-03-10
At the Illinois.

Pearl White gave some new
thrills in the third episode of the
Lightning Raider, showing at the
Illinois theatre, and she now is in
the hands or the tenacles of the oc-
topuS in the secret trap of WI
Fang. The Pathe News was at its
best in reviewing events of the
world and the Harold Lloyd com
edy reel makes one reel with laugh
ture. The vaudeville end of the
show proved good comedy with
novelty features. The first act was
Zemater and Smith who forget all
about gravity when they fly like
birds from one horizontal bar to
the other and turn one and some
times two somersaults while on
their travels back to earth. This act
was a comedy hit as well as a SEN
sational one and got its share of
the glory that was handed out
Mitchell and King, two men of good
personality entertained with some
mimicry and limitations and for a
laugh act they were we'll repaid for
their efforts. OFT and Bryan are a
woman and man. The latter could
without any alterations be used as
a model for an exposition, for his
shape will never rob the Venus de
Milo of her title but his comedy
capers will lead any comedian a
chase for first honors. Miss Bryan
is a lady with a charm of manner
that makes her splendid asset to
the act and with her capable assist
ance they went over for a hit.
Bartle Doyle came next with some
stories that gave the big punch to
the show he earned and received big
results and was paid in full with
gladness from the audience for his
treat is good comedy. He sang with
a voice of rare quality and put
some mirth into ones heart with
his warbling. He is man of travel,
having toured the world and his
collection of material proves out
the contention, for his Irish and
his English, his Hebrew and his
Australian are mindful of a visit
there.

Bank Deposits Increase.

Increases in deposits running from
very small fractions to hearty 4o0 per
cent. are reported by banks throughout
the country in comparison with the total
deposits az the beginning Of the war IN

ing institutions in New York city and
elsewhere have shown enormous In
creasos in deposits during the last four
years Tie Chase Nation Al, for instance.
reports gross deposits 1874 per cent in
excess OF what they were In November.

credit is seen nv maay one reason FOR
a corresponding. huge increase in com
modify prices. Other local banking in
