Theatre Patrons
Looking Forward
to Burtis Treat

The appearance Of Guy Batter
Post, the great American actor, in
THE Masquerader," at the Burtis
in Davenport, Dec. II and Is, will
be q theatrical event Of greatest i'm
portance, because of the high stand
ing OF the star, the worth Of the
play, the lengthy runs which have
been registered in the principal
cities and over seas and the beau
tiful production which Richard
Walton Tully has provided.
That Post has his finest oppor-
tunity in the dual role which calls
for the many phases Of his versa
tile arty is generally conceded. He
plays both John Chilcote, the drug
John Loder, the hack writer. whose
addicted member of parliament, and
physical resemblance to Chilcote is
SO great that the latter decided to
have Loder assume his identity in
the worlds affairs that he may de-
vote himself to his drugs.
The Masquerader" is a thrilling
play of love, romance. intrigue and
politics, filed with novel attrac-
tons AMI many quirks of plot. John
Hunter Booth, the dramatist, has
carried the spirit Of Katherine
Cecil Thurston's famous story
throughout his play.
Post will have the support of hi.
original company which embrace.

C. L. Knight, editor Of the Akron
Beacon-Journal and Republican candi-
date for Congress, addressed the XII
wants club at its luncheon last Friday
at St. PauPs parish house. This
makes two weeks in succession that
the club has listened to political Will
fication and bunk. - The previous
week Charles Smoyer, Knight $ party
candidate for Congress, spent his thir1
ty minutes in throwing the harpooh
into Knight; while last Friday Knight
took the same length Of time in ma
ligning the present national admins
tration. The Kiwanis club is about
the same distance from being 1. politi-
cal organization as the north pole is
from the south and it is probable that
the members would rather listen to a
dissertation on dog meat as a vege-
table diet, than to a personal diatribe,

The origin of the fire is unknown.
It started in the shaving pit, adjoih-

factory for luncheon. When dis
covered the fire had already gained
considerable headway and it was ap-

appeals for help telephoned to the
