7 III EATRE

and showed some great war pic
lures and events of the day. And
then the long promised Pearl White
serial, and it was all they had
claimed it would be. The picture
is wonderful photography, and the
scenes are beautiful and the ex-
ploits of Pearl White are numer-
our and exciting and it made an
instant hit. Enos F'razere will new
er be insured, he is too careless
with his life. Can you imagine
man swinging 80 feet in the air
and then turning twisting somer-
sault and catching by his heels? He
does that and more too. The Greg
cries are two charming people.
Miss Gregory enters wearing the
latest creation in wardrobe, an i'm
ported gown of burlap, carefully
trimmed with doormat shavings,
etc. But she changes from that to
a treat in personality when she
comes out as her sweet self and
with a modest charm of manner
and greatly assists her partner
who whistles himself to nook in
the hall of fame His solo work
was excellent and he does this with
two handkerchiefs stuck in his
mouth. The act is very funny and
the material new. Burns and Tate
are two men. They are comedians
without anything to help them but
ability, and they have that and
plenty of it. One enters and is fol-
lowed by a remnant of man who
claims Milan as his home, and he
is some comical cuss, but from the
drift of their conversation one is
convinced that he never saw Milan,
as the funny things he said happen
ed there could only be Matched out
in a comedians knowledge box
They are clever acrobats as well
and the tall timber of the two does
a remarkable eccentric dance in
which he turns somersaults like
BOlsheviki revolution. The big hit
was Paris Green. He got more
laughs last night than the average
comedian gets in two weeks. all be-
cause he seems to know his bust
ness and the audience knew it too,
and he was accorded as fine a well
come as any act could wish for. He
is a neat, tasty appearing fellow,
has lot of confidence in himself
and the public has too after what
he did last evening. The big act
was called Mixed Nuts" and the
audience got bit nutty about it as
it went along. 1t was a great COM
edy act, full of laughs and the
girls there were SIX, or was it
sevenD and four men, funny fell
lows. One member, a Mr.. Buckley,
did an exceptionally good eccen-
trio dance that was relished. The
ensemble numbers by the chorus
were good, and the creations OF
gowns were a riot of color and de-
sign. The act in general is a big
time offering. The songs were in
good order and the lead, a dainty
little girl, sang and did some of the
best dancing ever seen here. And
SO the show came to a close with
nothing but praise for the manage
ment

trude Temple for years. She was
used to it. But lately one Prem
tice Tiller, the most mysterious
man she had ever met, had come
into her life and dominated it. She
felt that he was accusing her and
she did not know that she had
done any WRONG. AS a matter of
fact she was an important cog in
a wheel of larceny on 4 tremen-
dous scale, and didn't know it. On
the other hand, Tiller did not know
she was an innocent party in the
narrow escapes he had had from
death. And now in the strange
haunt of Chevat, the master crook,
Gertrude is cornered. Chevat, by
making love to her, has excited the
jealousy of Lola, his plaything, and
she has stealthily unsheathed d
dagger which she wore il her hair
for an ornament.

Dutch artist and sculptor, the ideal
type of American manhood.
Mr.. Ledeboer recently made the
acquaintance of Mr.. Lytell at the
Metro west coast studios in Holly
wood, where the young actor was
working, and was so enthusiastic
over the stars qualifications as a
model that he asked and was
granted permission to make the
head and bust of the screen star
in clay which he proposed later to
cast in bronze.
'Mr. Lytell embodies all that is
characteristic of the young Amer
ican," said Mr.. Ledeboer. He has
a splendid head with a strong jaw,
we'll placed eyes, firm mouth,
general air of determination, and
physical vigor and mental alert
ness, while his patriotism is posi-
lively infectious"
To all who see Bert Lytell in
Unexpected Places" this will seem
an excellent description of the tai
ented young star

As the Abingdon five put up a
classy right in a previous engage
ment Saturdays game was expected
to be rather close, but the Abing-
don quintet must have been off
form, since the Islanders had it all
over the visitors in every way. Both
teams had difficulty in finding the
loop at times, Abingdon especially
missing easy shots again and again.
II Both teams started fighting hard
and il was some time before either
team scored Dick Dopp scored

a long shot from the center of the
floor. Anderson seemed to have
trouble finding the basket at first

At the start of the second half
Abingdon staged a comeback and
scored four baskets one after the
other before the Islanders got
the upper hand. All the Islanders
were taken out except Dopp and
Anderson in the last part of the
half and the second string took
their places. Rock Island pulled in
q points in the final period while
Abingdon got away with 49,
The Islanders played their usual
classy game. Paul Anderson had 10
baskets to his credit before the fin
Nwhistle. Dopp COPIED four bas-
kets. Ray Parks, Wilson Duffin
and Werner .Greve played a con-
sistent guarding and passing game.
Parks made z baskets, one of which
was beauty from the middle of the
floor. Forrest Dizotel. William La
mont and William Ohlweiler, al
though only in for a short time, did
exceptionally well
For Abingdon Rabbit and Case
were the stars. Rabbit is the better
basket shooter of the two, but Case
is the better floor man. Abingdon's
guarding was faulty.
The Islanders will play the first
game of the tournament Thursday
at Gallsburg, with Kewanee. Hav-
ing already defeated out of the 20
teams to play in the tournament,
including Galesburg, Elmwood and
Moline, probable contenders for the
championship, the Islands expect to
bring home the bacon.

At the Majestic,

When Dorothy Gish created her
famous part of THE Little Dis
turber" in Hearts of the World"
she set the younger feminine set of
the nation to doing two separate
and distinct things. One was to
walk like The Little DiSturber."
Soon after the large city show
ings of the picture one could see
hundreds of girls on the streets i'm
itating the funny little swaggeS
walk that Dorothy did in the pic
ture. The other thing was to reset
the millinery styles for the year,
# you remember correctly you saw
girls everywhere in the United
States wearing 'tams" with jaunty
side sweep. Millinery shops all
over the country made them and
sold them by the hundreds.
So, when Boots" which is Miss
next Paramount picture,
comes to the Majestic theatre to-
night, the girls of Rock Island will
have still another item to add to
their wardrobes. 1t is a new and
still jauntier tam" with bells on
it. Description is too vague to
convey the idea, but it is safe to
say the girls will get the idea.

Dr. Grayson has called into ron.

dciphia, nerve specialist. Later he
may call DIR. George De Schweimiz.

phia.
The president is in highly
nervous condition. IL was stated, al.
tho no alarming symptoms have de-
veloped. His friends and physician
have great difficulty In keeping him
away from work.

DR.. Grayson has also been In con-
ference with DR.. II. II. SUIT and DIR.

learned.
Dr. Grayson emphasized that he
was calling In assistance as pre-

requires more time than one man Is
able to give. 1t was stated.
In treating cases OF this character.
IL was pointed out. the condition OF
the patient may vary from day to

condition this morning is not so
good as IL has been. II was made
plain at the White House.
No plan has been made for the

gested that he cannot avoid some re-
action from the political battle in the
senate II he remains here. Grayson
stated definitely that Wilson will not
leave the white House this week and
doubted II he will do 80 later.
Complete rest ls to be required
and every effort will be made to
keep all matters from coming to the
attention Of the president.
