THE MIRACLE MAN"

Away out in California one winters
night in 1914, | came home from Los
Angeles tired out. and with no other
idea than a warm fire, a hot dinner and
a real sleep.
Propped up in an easy chair l picked
up Munseys magazine and thought to
read a moment or two and go to bed.
Starting 1.-The Miracle Man" l became
absorbed, then fascinated and realized
as | finished the story that it was 800
a. M, and 1 had hardly glanced up from
the book since l started reading.
| [ realized that 1.-The Miracle Man
was one of the greatest stories ever
written and in a few days it seemed
| to me that everyone in the country was
either talking or writing of the newest
find"
When it was first released on the
screen l could hardly wait until | could
see with my own eyes what the direc-
tor had done with the story. AS a
story it was all that one could hope for,
but to see the characters brought to
life to see them enact the scenes OF
faith and hope, the tense faces of the
people whose lives are filled like a
charnal house. with the dead ashes of
| the dreams the hopes, the tears and
| joys of afflicted lives, which under
other circumstances, might have held a
thousand beautiful possibilities. And to
watch tHtSe SOihO IL W
| through faith that has moved noun
! tains' were indeed a joy worth while.
| And The Miracle Man" offers all of
| these and more. 1t is one of the most
gripping plays of all, shadowland 1t
| carries it's own sermon, and best of all
| it leaves one with that glowing sense
| of satisfaction of having viewed mas
| terpiece; we'll done and completely fin
| ished
| 1t must be seen to be appreciated, and
| the best of it is that no matter what
state of mind you go in, whether you go
| as a scoffer of faith or whether you
| go as "blaze" screen fan who has
seen it all, you come out chastened in
| spirit and with the quiet satisfaction
| of having seen per-production, to
which there is nothing to add.
! 1.-The Miracle Man" is an intense
drama of faith that works miracles
and the miracle of it's showing in this
city will be how anyone can miss
seeing it,

commend it; Jack and Kitty Demaoo
in an artistic scenic novelty; Miss Dian
na Bonner, comedienne; the Randalls,
sharpshooters with both rifle and re-
volver, of more than passing merit, all
contribute to a really good vaudeville
performance at the Lyric today with an

Miss Bonner has a better voice than
one usually finds in vaudeville and she
was formerly with the Chicago Grand
Opera company.
The Dream Girl offers a wealth of
scenic effects and costumes and is a

All in all the Lyric bill today offers
a good show for those of us who prefer
vaudeville.

Love and Politics" is a play of any

! Glen Coulter, as the honest politician
and Miss Mae Park as the girl in the
case, are all that could possibly be ex

work this week has been all that ability
and art could do. Both are too capable
too finished actors to overlook a line. a

add to the success of the play.
But they are not alone in their work.

seen in Under Arizona Skies" in a
comedy role and introducing a natural
rainstorm that is said to be one of the
most realistic bits of stage manipula-

Love and Politics offers much that

boss of the city, Carl Leech of the hypo-
critic family; Nat Wade, the detective

Henry Coroneas, the family servant are
all worth while and contribute in nc

demands OF the federation said that,

sympathized with the desire OF the
workers for an improved standard Of
life. must, In considering the increas-

On which the miners would be repre-
sented, TO inquire into this question
and also into the cost of production
and distribution of coal; the selling
prices and profits and the question
whether coal mining should be con
tinued on its present basis or under
Joint control or be naitonalized.
In regard TO the demand for in
creased wages, 80 per cent the Gov
eminent said 1t was wi ling TO add q
