PALACE.
Bert Lytell In EIadynnEers..

A wealth of thrills. intermingled
with some OF the most appealing
screen romance of the season, are
the outstanding elements of Lady
myers, the captivating Metro pro-
duction by Bayard WELLER Of Jack
son Gregory's story of the same
name. which presented Bert LyteIl,
the popular young photoplay star,
as the featured player OF the pro-
gram at Loew's Palace Theater yes
terday for the full week ending next
Saturday. 'T.adyfingers" is supple
mented. incidentally, by a compel
ling lineup of program features
that includes Ben Turpin, the cross
eyed comedian in Mack Sennetts
latest comedy hit, Love and Dough-
nuts"
Ladyhngers Is clearly one Of the
greatest Of all crook dramas since
the immortal Alias Jimmy Valen-
tine" 1t affords Mr.. LytelI a role
that accurately measures up to his
marvellous performance in that IA
nous o. Henry tale and its roman
tic interest Is probably more in
tense. 'Iadyfingers," to DO exact,
is radical departure from the more
recent productions in which Mr.. Ly-
tell has appeared and it brings him
back to the type of role in which
he first scored his screen success.
Unlike most of the usual run of
crook dramas, "Ladyfingers" deals
in graphic fashion with the career
of an orphaned child of a family
OF wealth who, by accident, is
brought to the attention of a noto-
rious safe-breaker. Because of the
lads delicate hands, which earn him
the soubriquet of "Ladyfingers," he
is educated in the risky art of safe
breaking. His proficiency in this
line gains him a national reputation
with the police, who, while trying
to trap him. learn that Ladyfin-
gers" is the heir to the fortune of
his grandmother.
The valuable pearls possessed by
his grandmother become a strong
professional lure to "Ladyflngers,"
who is quite ignorant Of his rela-
tionship to his proposed victim. 1t
Is here that his entrance into the
home of his grandmother brings
about adventurous and highly ro-
mantle complications which make
"Ladyfingers'" one Of the most pow
erful and fascinating dramas that
the screen has afforded in a long
time. Ora Carey. as the girl who
figures in the romantic episodes of
the story, brings an added note of
charm to the picture. Others ap-
pearing are Frank Elliott, Edythe
Chapman. Dewitt Jennings, Stanley
Goethals and many others.

METROPOLITAN.
Charles Chaplin and VIII Rogers.

A review of Charles ChapIin's
latest and funniest comedy, The
Idle Class" is evidence Of the the
atrical reporters willingness to
battle his way through crowds that
seemed impenetrable from the
street to the inner official precincts
of Crandalis Metropolitan Theater.
where one-eighth of a square inch
of standing room finally was torn
away from others equally anxious
to enjoy the biggest laugh of the
season and put at the disposal Of
the dramatic department.
The Idle Glass" is as original,
as clever in execution. and, II any
thing. more prolific in laughs than
The Kid" although totally differ
ent in theme development and
spirit. Charlie, to lend variety to
his work and to multiply the hu-
NOR at least by two, assumes dual
roles. The familiar figure of the
hat-footed tramp with the trick
derby, the baggy TROUSERS, and the
skinny coat, is present in pracu-
cally every scene in the farce; but,
added to the cyclone of mirth which
he creates is the tornado of fun
supplied by a fashIonably dressed
young man about-town who Is the
forgetful husband of a beautiful
and imperious wife. No two char
acterizations could be farther apart
in treatment or more sharply con-
trasted than Chaplin makes these
laughable examples of the extremes
Of the social scale-the one too in
digent to work; the other so rich
he didn't have to.
1t is doubtful IL golf has ever
been made to return the high divi-
dend in fun that Chaplin extracts
from the game as the hobo fiend
who has everything to play with
but a ball and a few clubs. The
manner in which he acquires these
essentials of a round on the links
is burlesque at its zenith.
No less amusing are the incidents
at the bal masque, to which the
tramp gains access by a ruse, which
eliminate in his rescue of the abb
sent-minded husband from a suit Of
armor with a can-opener!
Edna sPurviance and Mack Swain
lend the star admirable support in
the most important subsidiary roles,
and the effectiveness of the comedy
is still further heightened by the
artistic manner In which II has
been produced and the excellence
Of the photography.
Humor of the gentler sort Is
brought by Will Rogers IN his de-
lightful polarization of Edward z.
Kidder's stage success, "a Poor
Relation" made famous on the
stage by Sol Smith Russell and the
elder Joseph Jefferson. Mr.. Rogers
is supported by a distinguished
cast that includes Sylvia Dreamer,
Molly Malone. Sydney Ainsworth
and others of note. The bill for
the week Is augmented by the Pathe
News, Topics of the Day, and Suppe's
Morning, Noon and Night over
ture. The judicious will not only
be sure not to miss this exceptional
entertainment but will prove their
wisdom by attending early while
there are seats.

fine entertainment at Moore's Rialto

The oering. picture OF stage
life. Is massive, beautiful, realis-
itically convincing and In every way
satisfying. Adapted from the story
by Rita weiman, entitled, THE
Stage Door" the polarization Is
built around one of the most re-
mantle figures to be found In the
realms of the footlights-the old
stage doorkeeper, and his paternal
love for little chorus girl who. In
need OF friendship and guidance,
turns to him as to a father. She
believes his stories OF how nearly
he came to fame and greatness as
an actor, and ILLS the void in his
heart The plot as II develops in
wolves a great battle between two
kinds Of love. the love that builds
and makes for life and Happiness
and gentleness and the love that
destroys. The result Is many dra-
matte and pathetic scenes most ar
tistically portrayed. a
Three well known and popular
screen stars are featured in the
cast. Jack Holt Is seen to advan-
tage as the angel Of the show
and leading man to winsome and
talented Lila Lee. depicting the
part Of chorus girl, while Charles
ogle, as the old disappointed stage
door keeper. gives one of the most

It's Lena Daley and her show

parently had a hard time to get the

the first act was half over every
thing was going as well as could
be expected-under the prevailing
conditions.
To get back to the show. Lena
proved to be nearly all Of that her
self. the rest Of the company being
more or less on hand with songs;

Miss Daley Is programmed in five
song and dance numbers. and In
every instance her work called for
repeated encores. Take Lena out Of

circuit average. but as 1t is now 1t

Jules Jacobs and Alex Saunders
undoubtedly from the old-school of
burlesque performers - handle the
comedy parts as well as could be
expected under such a bright light
as Miss Daley. Jacobs does a semi
Dutch character that we've seen time
and again. and Saunders takes upon
himself the role OF Jewish comedian
and his character was far from orig
nal, as perhaps you may know. In
John Grant we found a leading man
that tops the average, and his work
was very effective in the comedy
numbers, as well as his several song
offerings. Billy Gray Is evident in
q few numbers. Madeline Davis, Babe
Healy and Grace Robertson comprise
the roster of feminine principals, and
although they do not shine as bright
y as Miss Daley. they are impor-
tant factors in the show.
The choristers began the perform

but evidently Lena's pep spurred them
to greater effort. for during the sec

rus damsels equally compare with
any that we've seen. both in appear
ance and work. The attraction is
well-dressed. the chorines attired In
pretty gowns, and undoubtedly the
show will run in perfect order to

TUBERCULOSIS IN CHICKENS
Disease Is Quite Common and Is
Caused by Quarters Being Poorly
Ventilated and Lighted.

tuberculosis in poultry results in a
loss of weight. The birds may look
all right for time, but they will he
found TO be light. Mr.. Barton, of the
North Dakota Agricultural college,
states that in the later stages the birds
become weak, often they cannot fly
onto the roosts, but sit in corner,
and after a little die. According to
Mr.. Barton, this disease is quite com
mon, affecting turkeys as well as
chickens. One way to tell If the birds
have tuberculosis is to cut them open.
If the bird is light in weight and the
liver is enlarged and spotted it may
be quite safe to say that it has been
suffering from tuberculosis.
He states that small quarters, poor.
ly ventilated. poorly lighted, and damp
are conducive to the spread of the dis
ease. The best remedy is to dispose
of all injected birds and if the flock is
badly infected to dispose of all the
birds; then thoroughly clean the
house and yards, dlsinfect and start
over again with tuberculoSlS-frec
birds. Mr.. Barton recommends Il dis,
infectant made up in the ratio of one
ounce of Crcolin and one ounce Of car
bolic acid to one gallon of water.
