VARIETY FEATURES IN
 ACTS OF ALEXANDER

While the Simla Seance, or crystal gazing, is the real feature of the per- formance of Alexander, "The Man Who Knows" at the Jefferson, variety is by no means neglected. The show is arranged as a whole to satisfy people of widely differing tastes. Aside from the psychic, there is much additional entertainment that will suffice to sat- isfy those who do not care for the more serious portion, several of his recently acquired East Indian magical master pieces allowing him opportunities to i'm dulge his propensity for light comedy.
 Alexander will be at the Jefferson throughout the week, with matinee on Saturday afternoon.

PACT AIMED AT NORWAY
Radicals, Newspaper Says, h. tended to Begin With Series
 of Sensational Fires

Copenhagen, December 30.-P1ans for a sensational revolution in Norway, which have become known to the au- thorities, are printed by the newspaper Politiken. quoting accounts published by the Yerdens Gang of Christiania.
 According to the Verdens Gang, the labor party which. it says, joined the Moscow internationale in 1918 intended to start the uprising by setting fire to enormous lumber stores in Chrstiania, reckoning this would draw the entire attention of the capital. As soon as the fire began to rage, the newspaper states, the revolutionists planned to occupy the barracks. the police Headquarters and the telegraph and telephone stations, ar rest the cabinet members and generals, and then telegraphically advise the provinces of the revolution and of the successful conquest of the capital,
 It was expected, Verdens Gang is quoted as saying, that the conquest of the provinces would be easy. The newS paper states that the plan leaked out and the authorities were informed. No definite date was given for the execution of the alleged plan, it being said that it was set merely for convenient mo- nent

STOCK MARKET ID
 TAKE UPWARD TURN
Optimism Keynots of StcoGk Letter From New York
 Broker

The tone of the stock market yesterday was decidedly strong, according to the stock letter of Post & Flagg, New York brokers who state the turnover was remarkably large, and that in the first few days of the new year the shifting of loans will bring easier money The let ter says:
 "Today's turnover has undoubtedly been large, and the shifting about to establish losses for income tax purposes has been in greater volume than ever before. Tn spite of this, the market s tone has been strong, and we think we will have better market tomorrow, probably quite a materially better one.
 "Tomorrow's transactions will figure in next years returns, as today is the last day for establishing losses for in come tax purposes, sales for this pur- pose having been one of the big features in the recent decline. and no doubt many of these stocks sold have not been re- bought.
 "Another consideration is that after a few days of shifting of loans in the new year we ought to have really easier since we have had anything like nor- mai rate All this will add considerable in giving zeSt to the market.
 Besides the rebuying referred to for tax purposes, there is a quite large actual short interest here which has not been frightened enough to start covering yet for all these months it has been their way, and they are confident and have large profits back of them.
 "The situation in Europe is not what it ought to be, and merchants in this country have got to face enormous losses in the next few months. but we cannot believe but that our market has dis counted, and more than discounted all this. and we look for a sharp rally in the near future. Total sales, 1,155,00O.

 production, which will be shown at the Alcazar theatre, beginning Monday. The settings form a gorgeous background for the development of the stirring film drama, which is taken from the famous
 novel of the same name by E. w. Horn ung, noted author of Rallies and other great adventure stories. Aa Some of the most brilliant of the pie lures were taken at sea, far out of sight of land. Moonlight on the ocean, won derful marine sunrises, the sea in many | moods give an amazingly fascinating atmosphere, which is worked into the , story itself. Against the calm beauty of sunrise and set strange and terrible events are portrayed, parts of plot
 which never loses it's grip on the au-
