EOX'S THE.ATER.

Jack pickford is the star in "A Burglar by PrOXy,'' the photoplay featured at Fox's theater for the re- mainder of this week. As usual this young man finds no trouble in hand ling a rather difficult role. He plays the part of Jack Robbins, a youth, who has heard q girl singing over d garden wall with the result that he loses his heart to the sin ginG maiden. He obtains an introduction and man ages to play on the good nature of the girls folks for three days. The young maiden aWakcnS one night to discover an intruder in her room and discovers him to be none other than Jack himself evidently trying to burSlarize the house. But the grand climax comes when Jack endeavors to recover the property, that the girl of his choice has accused him of lifting. There is a funny Sunshine comedy. Pearl White is also on tn" bill with Mutt X; Jeff. FoX's News and picture. An exceptionally splendid vaudeville program is also offered with The -\bz-ssinittn Eight, clever group Of cOIored entertainers lead ing the bill. Eoothhy and F.verdeen have a singing and talking offering that is bound to please. Saturday there will be three complete per fornances at 2:15. 5:75 and $.

ANITA STEWART AT PALACE.

The collision of two tra irs head-on at top speed contributes one of the big thrills of VitaSraph's picture "Thc Nrcck.' This subject, with Anita Stewart as star, supported by Harry T. Mercy and an all-star cast, will he shown at the Palace theater tonight and Saturday.
 NitagraDh directors believe they have achieved an unusually daring feat in tho sta ging of this spectacle. Though train wreclS have appeared often on tho screen. this particular collision is described as rem0 0rkablc.
 The locomotives used are of the largest, fastest type, and heavy Pull man cars form both trains. The inn pact of the locomotives is caught close up by the camera, and the cruncfing, bending and twisting of steel and de- bris appears yividly on the screen.
 ''Thc Wreck" deals with 2. story of a man $ mistaken suspicious of his wife and with dramatic consequences of circumstantial evidence. Miss Stew art plays the role of a young wife and stepn1other wrongly suspected. MT. Mercy portrays the character of a strong. successful man torn by jeal- ousy and love.
 As an extra added attraction Fatty Arbuck1e is shown in his new com edy, "The Hayseed.' A new episode of Lightning Bryce" with Jack HoX- ie and Ann Little and the Palace News showing the worlds news. concludes the Dhotop1ay bill. The Keith Taudc- vile show is headed by Bessie Mack company in "The Knockout" a roar ig comedy skit. Josephine Davis and two boys offer a pleasing routine of singing and musical offerings. The De Koch troupe offer an excellent e1mna stic exhibition.

things; and for these denominations He
will destroy them" Deut. IS.

such practices under the first COM
