BILL HART IN PETTICOATS

Theatre lovers, especially those who
are admirers Of Bill Hart. the hero
of rough and tumble western drama,
should go TO the Palace tonight and
see that versatile reproducer of scenes
from the wild and woody west, as he
appears in an entirely new role.
'John Petticoats." in place of fea-
turing Hart ON the back of bucking,
snorting, plunging bronch. carries him
from the wilds Of the big woods Of
the northwest and plants him in the
heart of the most fashionable city in
the old south. New Orleans. In ad-
dition to this. not as the bad man
of the Alkali Ike order, but as the
owner of the most important millinery
and ladies' tailoring establishment In
the city, "Bill' comes out OF the
cocoon of the habillments OF the wild
and arrayed in evening clothes courts
and wins the daughter of one of the
crescent citys most aristocratic fam
lilies.
Good acting and clean comedy make
the play worth while. In addition
to this II may be said of John Petit
coats" that the play has something
so many pictures need-a real plot,
well conceived with the detail carried
out satisfactorily.

Il told her that you were at the gate,
and asked if she would like to see you.
At first l was afraid she hadn't heard
me. Then she opened a book that she
was reading, found her place and
marked it with a finger, and looked at
me.
"'WhO did you say was at the gate,

Dale. The bone there is broken in

meet them with an ambulance, if Dale
wished.
"If you please" said Dale.

midnight, and were promptly met by
the surgeon. Braemer took charge of
the patient, put her into his ambu-
lance and hurried her TO his private
hospital. Bill Dale and the two clan
