.HOMESPUN" IS FINE
 ATTRACTION AT ALCAZAR

Excitement is high, intense and joyous in "Homespun Folks" a plain story of farm and small town life at the Alcazar. Rural prejudice and the simple and direct ideas of sincere peo- ple form a theme that is given fuii play. And it is indeed homespun from the opening scenes to the last fade out.
 Even the usual smooth and suave city man does not appear to disturb the regular routine of the small town with wreck strewn stay in it's precincts. The entire story is derived from the lives of group of residents in a small New Hampshire county.
 Lloyd Hughes is a first-rate home spun character, as Joel Webster kicked off of the farm of his father because he has aspirations in the direction or a lawyers profession. In the town where he takes up his profession and a hum drum existence of waiting Tor clients, excitement suddenly turns up in unexpected form.
 He becomes the center of a feverish election in which his father suddenly takes part just to show that it does not pay to get funny with the Webster family" There is a nice little love theme and plenty of high good humor and fun. The spirited antics of the democrats and republicans create no end of merriment in friendly get-off on both parties.

MUCH TALENT ON
 RIII, AT THE LYRIC

A group of finished vaudeville per formers are holding the bill at the Lyric .his week. The entertainment opens with ar act which does not ap- per on the programme, but is really splendid of it's kind. It introduces a wax doll, to all appearances really a doll, that turns out to be a very pretty and attractive young lady The doll act goes ort into the audience and furnishes some good laughs.
 Msrriage La Carte holds the place as headliner. Leo Holt and Billy Har- ris have dialogue of absurd chatter, into which Maggie Winters intermixes some of Ter own good charm in good singing ana general support. The three |sing ir good quartette fashion. Mar riage d La Carte" could better have been called marriage a la jazz. The act got a good encore.
 They make way for the Hickman brothers who are black faced come dians with about the usual ability though not having quite as good ve- hicle in their bee act as black faces usually have and the bee crawling epi- sods could have been left out. However, taken in all, they turned out to be very good entertainers and got some merry laughs out of the audience.
 Artistic natures will call Harry Wai- man and Irene Berry in a violin and piano number the best thing on the bal. Certainly they showed themselves to be finished performers on their separate instruments. 'The Glow Worm.' slightly jazzed, was robbed of none of it's beauty and somehow ap- pealed to both the classical and Jazzy elements in the audience. This number was unusually we'll received.
 Fishers animal circus closed the show. The wonderfully trained animals amused the kiddies and grown-ups alike. There are some dogs and ponies in the act and a monkey that causes some fun by literally making a monkey out Of It's little self.

 EXCELLENT RITJ.

Comedy predominates the excellent bill at Loew's Bijou for the first half of the week, the acts being we'll received by the large audience last night.
 Charles Harte and company, dancers de luxe, easily took first honors. There are four very graceful dancers in the act and they do all the latest steps and new dance creations in an artistic man. ner.
 Click and Bright appear in a song and dance act in which a lot of comedy chat ter is sandwiched in to keep the fun going The unusual beauty of the young lady and her graceful dancing won her many encores.
 Wray's Mannikins, dozen or more dolls, lifesize and talking like human be- ings, kept the audience puzzled until the end of the act when a man came from behind the scenes and pulled them apart.

"CLOTHES" IS DAZZLING TRIANON PICTURE

Is dress the ruling passion of wom-
 en? To take it from Clothes now showing at the Trianon, it is. Clothes is an extravagant picture
 on the extravaganza of women in gem eraI, and one woman in particular. In ar introductory paragraph the theme is said to Le taken from the wives, s,s- ters and sweethearts of the world. In la broad sweeping sense probably this lis true, but women gowned in the fash ion of those in Clothes" are luckily in the minority.
 But the idea is apt in a dramatic sense and goes to make an interesting stroy of the lengths that a woman can go in a craza for clothes. Then most possibly it is not overdrawn for New York ideas and ideals and certain sets and classes ill other cities.
 Olivia Olive Tell, the heroine of the piece, is little more than an animated dress form-thcugh a most beautiful and charming one Then through one of those sudden brutal statements that man can make in very occasional frankness with women, she finds her self revealed as she is, woman on the verge of selling herself through mar riage for lot of clothes.

"HUMORESQUE," WONDER PLAY AT THE STRAND

Much has been said of "Humoresque as simple little story of intimate fam lily life and of that divine thing-a mother 'Humoresque" has been pie tured as throbbing, pulsating and ten der. and this wonder play is all of that and more.
 But "Humoresque" is not all heart throbs; it has in it some of the quaintest humor picture ever had Illustrative of the merry turns the picture takes is an incident, one of many, at the crowded table, immediately following, or more accurately, during the family bless ing Esther Kantor says to papa, ex blaming a mysterious commot1on-ahh it's Rudolph again eating before mamma comes" Papa pushes Rudolph ungentiy in the face. "Snitch,' Rudolph con temptuously dubs Esther when papa head is turned.
 Essentially 'Humoresque' is a simps little play on family life. In it Vera Cor. don has created a role of motherhood that, simple as it is in effect, VIII long be remembered. The plot is just ths little ups and downs of a rather numer- ous Jewish family of the Ghetto in we" York; a simple comedy y-drama Of hie' As in life mother plays the leading roe, so in "Humoresque" Vera Gordon forms the central interest.

Weather Bureau Predicts That Curtain of Mist Which

By Associated Press

New York, September 27.--With six warships and more than dozen in- bound freighters still fogbound tonight off Sandy Hook, the local weather bureau predicted that the misty cur tained rolled down last Friday would not be lifted for another twenty four hours,
 Aboard the warships thousands of bluejackets fretted because of an un- foreseen delay in their shore leave, while on New York's docks marine work CTS stood idle because there were no vessels for them to unload.
 Several big liners, however, crept through the fog to their docks within the last twenty-four hours. These in- cluded the Rotterdam and La Savoie. According to the passengers, the fog extends far out to sea and vessels com ing up to the Ambrose channel light ship are compelled to feel their way along, guided only by the submarine

ADJUSTMENTS By EsTELLE BETHEA HALE
AT THE JEFFERSON

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee at the Jefferson theatre will be presented Thomas Dixon's new drama of the south, Robert F. Lee" It is reasona- ble to suppose that nothing has ever been given in this section which could possibly excite a more anxious atmos- phere than a play built upon our own great and honored 'Lee'-as the Clans man thrilled the entire nation, so will this great effort of Dixons be awaited with unusual interest.
 It is the first heroic effort ever at tempted by any writer to build drama upon the great idol of the southern Confederacy, who stood by his state when every indueement was handed him to reconitre and finally wten all odds were against him, he still main- tained that love of home and his Vir- ginia-to be enrolled as one of the greatest soldiers of the Civil war.
