BY GRANT M. HYDER.

Modern invention has done great
things for the old-time teeter-totter
Take the roller skate teeter, for in
stance" said Uncle Bob. with a
worn-out roller skate you can put
the teeter on ball bearings.
Whatever you do in building a
roller skate teeter, build it carefully,
for II it should break some one might

Viola Dana, the Winsome little Metro
 star, will be seen at the Breed theatre
 today and tomorrow in The Parisian
 JiEress.
 The story is that of a young girl of
 noble birth, left in babyhood in the
 care of strangers, who grows up in the slums of Paris into 8 wild and untamed
 child of the gutter, dancing for q living in the cafes of the Latin Quarter. Her
 dancing partner IS g young Apache of whom she lives in constant fear.
 Adventure comes 10 the girl when an aristocratic though impoverished artist finds her and conc@ives the idea ol having her impersonGtc the long lost daughter of his wealthy friend so thai

True to form, things do trsnspire during the incident in Mabel Normsnd's latest Goldwvn picture. Pecks Rad Girl, by Tex Chsrwatc. at the Auditorium theatre for the last time today.
 You can't blame Mabel Penelope Peek Miss Nor1nand) for bringing down her good right hand flush on the spot where the ny landed, for the temptation could hardly be risisted by anyone, much less Mabel, whose prSnks have always been the talk of the village. Someone else if sorely tempted to swat the fy might have been more sparing with the wsllop. but there are many in the school room who might have inferred that Mabel was losing her punch as a scamp if she hadn't taken the chairman off his pins while maiming the fly.
 Of course, Mabels prank brings the school meeting 10 riotous conclusion. as the sheriff and consta ole, who hap pen 10 be present at the session, give chase and fail to catch her-as they always have failed in the past Hiram Hall, Msbers victim. at once proposes 10 those remaining that steps be taken to shift Mabel off to the house of cor rection. but his plan goes the way of all others that have had for their pur- pose the punishment Of the playful girl

Chicago. is urging the pas sage of law similar to the one now in force In Norway. which provides that children born out of wedlock shall have the same legal status in rela ton 10 the father as 10 the mother when parental proof IS found.
 Whatever feeling may have been ex- pressed in the past toward the unnlar- ried mother and her innocent child, there is no question of the changed sentiment today. due 10 the efforts of noble hearted men and women who have studied conditions with special reference to the effects of the war. A social phenomenon, hitherto left to writers of fiction to portray in all it's sadness. Is now being inquired into by liberal minds and presented in d new light.
 One Of the strongest pleas for sym psthy for inc innocent child and the unmarried mother is made in the dra 9 ma The Unmarried Mother, which comes tu the Auditorium for three days. commencing Thursday. May l.
 This is an intensely powerful play in four acts. with tear or laugh in every line, and tells the whole pitiful story in all its detail. Florence Joyce appears as Beth, the unmarried mother. She is supported by strong company. Wherever the play has bcen seen it has awakened a new communi- ty spirit toward this vital problem.
