Brooks and Philson, as two petite young things, occupy the headline position at the Lyric for the last half of the week They are dressed in very attractive make-ups as around 16, one as girl and the other a boy. Their act is replete with song and wit, and they nearly stopped the show with an encore lasting several minutes
 Next to the headliner in popularity was the last act. Al Espe. who IS fea- tCred in the act, brings in some real run in pantomime. He is assisted by a young and pretty woman and man violinist. He and his male assistant fill out the act with dancing and a few juggling stunts that kept the aud fence in apprehension of a mishap.
 Leave It to Me-" is musical all through. It is a man and woman act, both singing. with the woman at the piano part of the act. The woman has a beautiful voice, and they sing we'll, but it is his personality that reallJ puts the offering over. They finish their turn to good applause.
 Ardelle Cleaves is a violinist of un. usual talent. She makes the instru- mcnt give out notes of tone that are sweet, full and round. If the applause was not as hearty as she deserved, it may be credited to an over energetic manner of continual motion that de ftracted from her wonderful playing oi | the instrument.

Charlie Chaplin, in the super-com edy, The Kid" written and directed by himself, is the Trianon feature through Saturday. One of the things about the story idea of the picture is that it is never allowed to become tire- scmely funny. Just at the moment when laughs reach their merriest. the story has a way of turning turtle and landing into 8 sort of semi-dramatic phase. It is a case of up hill and down dale for Charlie, and the little lad he has mothered, as the two go through mad comedy adventures, fights and mishaps, and then back through the happenings where there is more pathos than comedy. The story bears the undeniable marks of it's au- thorship, according with the comedy style of the writer and star.
 There is a real plot underlying The Kid" A mother paces her baby on the doorstep of a poor window glazier, played by Charlie Chaplin. The glazier

 DRAMA, COMES TO TRIAN0N NEXT WEEK

Motion picture productions of the magnitude, and importance of Pas sion," which comes to the Trianon next week beginning Monday, are in- deed rare if preview indications are to be believed. Rarely has there been a photoplay spectacle about which so much comment has been excited on all sides. For this reason alone. this att tra action is likely to arouse great in- terest here. The critics who have thus far reviewed this picture have divided their praise between the production and the star Pola Negri. who seems to have achieved more than ordinary dramatic triumph in the principal role.
 Pola Negri, the famous continental actress, is being proclaimed the screens latest genius. Tn her very first appearance in a motion picture

LA TOUR HEADLINES
 GOOD BILL AT LOEW'S

Jess La Tour is the headliner of a good bill at Loew's Bijou for the last half of the week, and her series of character Representations made solid hit When she finished the turn and left the stage. the audience held the show up until she took an encore. Her act is full of pep and jazz He assist ant at the piano is also good. Lyndall, Laurell & Co. presented "A Few Moments on the Beach," an act which had an unusual twist to it that was a genuine surprise. The turn showed wealth of good material, and was exceedingly we'll staged.
 Willie Karbe seemed to be more at home standing on his head than the ordinary mortal is standing on his fleet. and the audience gave him bis hand at the end of his unusual urn. Del and Ray could have kept their act the least bit cleaner and made more of hit with the main floor audience They took the balcony by storm. Both are possessed of good voices. and they do comedy well. but the turn bordered on the risque.
 | Grazer and Lawler held the third position on the programme, and de l lighted the packed house with some artistic and unusual dance steps. Both are dancers par excellence
 | "The Hope" with Jack Mulhall and
 an all-star cast was the feature pic
 ture, which, with the usual comedies and news events, closed the bill.

takes the child in. and later becomes much attached to it. The child also becomes a great asset in the business of the glazier. innocently breaking windows and thereby greatly increas- ing the glazier's business.
 Splendid and taking comedy scenes are found through that part of the picture engaged in telling the antics of the two. Later, when the orphans asylum tries to take the boy, there is some real drama, that is for time, but Charities rescue of the kid is so .ridiculously comical that pathos van ishes in utter rout.
 Six reels make up the length of 'The Kid,'' which is an unusual length for comedy. Most of the six reels are either scenes in the glazier's delapi- dated room, or in poverty streets where the glazier plys his doubtful trade. The role of the Kid is well acted by Jackie Coogan, youthful genius, and Edna Purviance is in very attractive sup DOrt.

Washington, April 14-Robert Ed ward Cox of Belmont Pa., a chief gunner in the navy, enjoyed today the unique distinction of having the Presi dent of the United States personally pin on his breast the highest award for valor-the Congressional Medal of Honor.
 The ceremony took place in the east room of the White House on the seventeenth anniversary of the day on which Gunner Cox saved the bat tleship Missouri from destruction by flooding her after-magazines after an explosion in a turret had set fire to powder in the adjoining handling room. Two other men, M. Monsen and S. c. Schepke, then gunner's mates, but now commissioned officers, previously had received medals of honor for their heroic work in assist ing Cox in removing injured men from the burning handling room. Thirty men were killed in the accident.
 Cox at that time held the rank of warrant officer and was debarred from receiving the medal of honor by the law providing for it's award only to enlisted men, though the rec ommendation of the captain of the Missouri was approved by the con- mander-fn chief of the north Atlantic fleet and President Roosevelt. Not until last February year after the history of the event was laid before Congress, was special leglsiatloh
