FIRE BRINGS
 OUT MILLIONAIRES

It seems that there are just as many fire fans among the lucky few who wear jewels and ride around in linn cuisines as among just plain folks like the most of us. The millionaire colony of Santa. Barbara, California, turned out in full strength recent ly when a huge barn was burned to provide a setting for one of the big scenes of '"Trixie from Broadway" in which Margarita Fisher soon will be presented. Part of her business in the story consists of leaping from the burning roof to the ground, and, being well used to spectators, sre carried out the thrilling escape as per schedule.
 Only one thing happened which was not down on the program, and that was when an extra man, excited by the realistic cries of Olga Grey, of the supporting cast, rushed in bent on rescue. It required the combined efforts of Director. Roy NenI and Assistant Director Sherry Hall to pre- vent his spelling the scene by we'll meant gallantry.

LYRIC

''The Girl Who Came Back a thrilling drama of unusual interest which opened today will be the at traction at the Lyric theatre this week. It is written on a subject that is replete with heart interest, thrills and pathos A girl is accused of stealing a, purse from a counter in a department store, after she is tempt ed because her family is threatened with want. She is sent to States prison and after serving two years is released. She is told that she might as we'll continue a, life of crime as there is no chance for her to re- gain her former station in life, but she has a different opinion and starts in to prove that a, woman can come back.
 The play is in a prologue and three acts and there is not an idle moment throughout. There are few plays like "The Girl Who Came Back" and those who miss seeing it will pass up something really good. The usual popular PoH prices prevail and the usual two performances each day will be given.

The result is one of the best pictures that has ever appeared upon the screen.

POLI'S

Mickey" came to town last night and captured the hearts of capacity audiences at Polls. There wasn't a vacant seat in the big theatre at either show and hundreds were turn ed away disappointed. Those who did see the picture were unanimous in declaring it to be the biggest and best production of It's kind ever seen here.
 The story centers about the lov- able character of Mickey" portrayed by Mabel Normand. Her checkered career is one of romance, adventure, humor and pathos. There are some thrilling scenes. The race in which Mickey rides in the Derby and the fight scenes in the unoccupied country club are real thriIIers.
 Mickey will be here all week, four showtngs being given daily; at 1:30, 4. 7:30 and 9:3O o'clock
 In addition to Mickey the usual vaudeville program of features will obtain. Archer & Belford, in "A Janitor's Troubles; Ward & Van character comedians; Willard and Marlin, in 8 variety skit From Broadway to the Bowery' and the Leone Trio, in a vaudeville novelty are among the features.
 There is also a. Drew Comedy, and as usual, the always interesting Pathe News.

sMSCHIEVOUS CANARY

An innocent little HimaIayan canary caused a whole stagefuI of trouble at the American studios after it had played it's part in 'Yvonne from Paris a new picture in which Mary Miles A1inter will impersonate a Parisian dancer. Part of Miss Min ter's business in this ingrat tiating story by Joseph Franklin Poland con sists of releasing the bird from it's cage. Precautions had been taken to recover the little creature, which is one of a valuable collection owned by Miss Minter, but it fluttered away and perched high upon rafter. All the stage hands rushed for it at once, and the result was a falling ladder which upset some powerful lamps and multiplied the general excite ment by ten. An hour later birdie returned to the stage floor to drink and was returned to its cage and then everybody took a good, deep breath.

PTTCTHFORK THREATS

A dozen Keep off the grass signs have been reluctantly driven into the acres of lawns lying between the six stages and various other buildings at the Goldwyn studios. The lawns are the pride of the gardeners, who give almost parental care to each foot of sod and can't understand how any one with a heart could spoil the grass. But the activities of five com panhes, entaillng the presence of hun dreds of people daily, do not make for grass culture. But if the signs don't work. say the lawn lovers, pitch forks will.
