vaudeville stage is given by FRANKIE
Browne at the Lyric for the bill through
the first half Mr. Browne handles the
instrument not only with evidence of fine
professional training, but with a per-
scnal excellence that made this musical
act one of the most popular with Mon

VILE performer his jazz takes and when
he gets ready for the sobbing stuff he
selects something popular in the SOB

WHILE NEW YORK
SLEEPS" AT ALCAZAR

The romance, the misery. the JOY
and the heartaches of the great me-
tropolis are all brought more than
forcibly into while New York Sleeps
a cine melodrama at the Alcazar. The
events of this thrilling melodrama OF
New York all take place under the
cover of the night. While New York
is sleeping, what is happening among
her homes, on her great white way
and among misery's children on the
East side? The picture, while New
York Sleeps" is the strongest and most
realistic answer to that question pos
sibly ever produced.
The production is divided into three
parts. "Out of the Night" THE Gay
white Way" and "A Tragedy of the
East Side" Each takes a different
phase of the passing night while New
York sleeps, all to prove the same is
sue, that vice reaches far, but not as
far as virtue or the arm Of the law.
The same actors appear in all three

"DINTY," AT TRIANON, AN
EXCITING COMEDY DRAMA

While "Dnty," the Trianon picture,
stars the famous boy actor, Wesley
Barry, it is in no sense a picture with
only the appeal to childhood nor for
childhood AS "Dinty," Wesley Barry
figures in story that rebounds with
exciting adventure, heart interest and
comedy of the first order. None Of these
elements are ever allowed to take the
lead, but all work together for per-

Simply speaking from comedy stand

Wesley Barry does his very best in this
picture from almost every standpoint.
Aside from comedy acting, he tears at
the very heart strings of his audience in
one or two pathetic scenes as. when his
mother dies. Other good actors are fea-

Jud &c Grove Max
ing Good Promises
BY A. N. Fields

The vigorous attitude of States At
torney Grove in cleaning up the vice
and criminal elements in Cook County
and in Chicago have given the lie to
his political traducers as we'll as in
spiration to the friends of good govern
ment. 1t is not expected that he will
be able TO eradicate all of the evils in a
few weeks which had years OF growth
under his predecessor Bomb throw
ing, gambling and vice flourish in the
county districts for eight years without
fear of molestation, but his short term
clearly indicates that those who dele
gated unto themselves the right To
speak for him and who have taken the
position that the continuation OF bomb
throwing and vice will be safe COM
modites in the future are reckoning
without their hosts.
1t is quite probable that many of the
cohorts OF vice and corruption have
been luled into a repose OF satisfac-
tion with the thought that they will
be permitted to continue their ne
farious practices with ease and COM
fort, but from the conspicuous ex-
ampes of law endorsements now being
put into operation by the county prose
CuIOT nave proven their assurance OF
safety to have been but a fleeing
shadow made by passing cloud The
character OF former
Judge Grove sustained by several years
OF honorable service as chief justice of
the criminal court, is of itself positive
proof that citizens OF every creed and
racial identity need have no apprehen-
sion Of his failure to carry ont his pre-
pledges
Ii cannot be expected that he can
consummate instantly every pledge
made by him during his campaign. the
fact that many evils complained OF have
had years OF growth, precludes the pos
,ibilitieS OF an immediate effectual
remedy To this end. however. the
cooperation and moral support IS so
licited from every good citizen.
