SCENIC THEATER.

Friday and Saturday, Dorothy Phillips will be seen at the Scenic theater in 'The Heart of Humanity" a picture that has played all theaters at prices ranging from 5Oc to $50. The Heart of Humanity, is the big Gest war production that was ever. filmed. It is the story of a Canadian mother who gave four sons to the Canadian Army and portrays their endeavor throughout the war. The battle scenes are most wonderfully pictures, thousands of actors having been employed to portray the roles. 1t is mixed with pathos, now and then as the old mother receives news from her boys It is a wonderful picture throughout and one that certainly will be enjoyed.

PALACE THEATER.

The Palace is offering the Lee Kids tonight in their last appearance in vaudeville, as they have been called to the studios to start work on their new two reel comedies with the new com pany they have just closed contracts with. Hundreds were turned away again last evening and their many ad- mirers greeted them with loud ap- plause as they presented their vaude- vile act. It might be interesting to know that they have been in vaude- vile but five weeks and was first of fered in the Poli circuit by the Keith Vaudeville Exchange, who also book the Palace vaudeville. That they are just as popular on the stage as they are in the movies is shown by the de- mand of the big theaters for their services on the stage. For Thursday, Friday and Saturday the Palace will offer the big startling dramatic sensa- tion, Are You Legally Married ?' with Lew Cody, Rosemary Thebe and an all star cast. This is a story that was taken from the facts of a, divorce case during the past year and was taken to the United States supreme court to be thrashed out. It forms one of the most dramatic and touching photo plays you will ever see. Other feat ures include a new episode of 'Elmo the Mighty" comedies and the Palace News. The new Keith vaudeville offered will be featured by "The Love Doctor" a pleasing musical comedy, with melody, nlirth and song.

 Its foundation was of Burgundy Georgette crepe yelled in smoke blue gauge. The quaintly shaped yoke running into a choker collar is out lined by hand beading in black, while a scroll design of the same is worked high on the shoulders.
 The most startling innovation are the sleeves, wing-like affairs starting from a shoulder line dropped to six inches above the elbow. These two,

are outlined in black beads as Is the lower edge of the blouse which la doubled back on itself and caught at the waistline in four places under an inch band of black velvet ribbon fln- ished with largo bow knots and long ends.
 | Such blouse is designed for use only with the most elaborate of the two-piece afternoon suits. The one in question was shown in conjunction with a fur trimmed coat and skirt model of dark sapphire blue velvet.
 A blouse of this type, with suit coat laid aside makes the equivalent of a one-piece dress, and finds great favor with women for this reason.
