 ''Would you like me to order for vou?"

"A nice stiff dose of rough on rats. I had no idea from talking with the lady the other evening that she was a proposition like this. By

PALACE THEATER.

A cool summery vaudeville bill of five acts and the regular feature pie ture program have been provided at the Palace theater for tonight. Friday and Saturday, with the usual two shows on Saturday night. John
 Barrymore will be seen in a screen version of Rallies. the Amateur
 Cracksman," founded on the famous novel of the same name by Eugene Hornug. It is the story of a gentle man burglar and is well fitted to MT. Barrymore's personality. This pie ture is in six parts and holds you in suspense throughout it's entire action. The vaudeville includes McAvoy and l May in a novel acrobatc song and , dance speciality; Briscoe and Ward in ! songs, dances and stories; Marie Stockwell and Company in a China : town tale, "SalVation Molly," present. l ed in four scenes Ct is said to be a 1 tense, timely subject full of comedy
 and also exciting situations); Barbour ! and Lynn who will be seen as the rube ! and the soubrette, and Scamp and l Scamp, who will perform on the hor- 1 izOntal bars. Maciste will also be
 seen in "The Liberator." and the Palace kinogram News will also be l shown.
 Sundays Program.
 Maxim Ova, the distinguished Russian l actress, will be the attraction at the Palace, Sunday, in the powerful 1 drama, The Red Lantern" She is
 seen in dual role, playing both l Mahlee, the Eurasian, and Blanche 1 the English girl. The roles are of
 such vastly different character that it
 is amazing to think that one woman
 can portray them both.

'FI-FI' PLEASES AT
 '. ". [. A. HALL
Entire Cast Does Exceptionally
 Well-Mrs. Yoi8bt Stars

''Fi-Fi of the Toy Shop,' musical extravaganza in three acts and six scenes with an augmented cast of up- wards of 200 people, was produced at the Y. w. C. A. last evening by local talent before an audience that WoulI doubtless have been larger had the weather been cooler but which made up in enthusiastic appreciation tor that which it lacked in size. But With adverse weather conditions. the audi torum was comfortably filled. The affair was given under the auspices of the Y. w. C. A.
 The various roles in this musical play were evenly distributed and so balanced that practically all of the principals had an equal opportunity, but the laurels of the evening went to Mrs Anna Bray Voightr who, as Bon nie, the toy shop keepers daughter, acted the part of an innocent and credulous child with the, consummate skill of finished ingenue. Tn brief the story of "Fi-Fi" deals with Bon nie, the toy makers daughter. wan dcring in the woods near her fathers shop at the close of day is overtaken by the Sandman, who casts her into a magic sleep She dreams a wonderful dream, wherein the bisque and woOd
 en creatures of the toy shop come to life and many strange adventures be-
 fall herself and the toys before the
 morning light scatters the charm. Ralph Britton as the Sandman,
 sang very well and Miss Doris Bradley captivated the audience when she sang very sweetly Take Me Back to Babyland" and "I Used to Believe in Fairies" No less pleasing was Miss Jean Blair dressed as a shepherdess, who sang several numbers. Another l particularly attractive scene was the ] moonlight duet of Miss Vera Suter l and F. Loring Churchill who sang l while perched on the rim of the cres- 1 cent moon. The dance of the paper l dolls was another feature of the eve ming and a group of littletots dressed l as toy alphabet blocks, did a drill ir most pleasing manner. With sucl ! a large cast it is difficult to mention l personally the various principals, bur ] others whose work stood out pre- ! eminentIy were Miss Ruth Bassette as 1 a rag doll, Miss Margaret Mitchell a! 1 a colOred doll, Harry Miller as a sol l dier doll and William O'Brien, his ri | val, a gentleman doll, Edson Lock l wood, a soldier doll, Miss Louise No | ble, dolls head, Miss Helen Rack 1 liffe a talking doll, Miss Lillie Bertini 1 a talking doll, the two clowns, anC ] Arnold Wallen, Miss Margaret Duguid l Miss Nora Walsh as the toymaker, 1 retired fairy and a witch respectively The stage settings were good ant 1 the costumes unusually bright and at | tractive.
 Others who took part were:
 Jumping Jacks-Ernest From, Hil 1 lory Morris, Louis Schacht, Edward 1 Koplowitz, Abra ham Berkowitz, Elli l Cohen, Fred Kebbel, Thomas Lanza | George Heinzman. Leon GreenberG and Sidney Schacht.
