THE BIJOU.

With picture programs of unusual
 entertaining value, and Hoyt's Revue, the biggest girl act in vaudeville, the
 coming week at the Bijou theatre prom
 ises to be a banner one.. Int big pie
 ture for Sunday night, which will also
 remain during the first half of the week, is What Happened to Rosa," an up- roarious comedy starring that irrepres- slble young star, Mabel Normand. The distance between the carefree, romantic days of old Spain, and the drudging, dragging hours of the basement shop girl, lies between the characters of Mayme Ladd and Rosa Alvaro, both of
 which are portrayed by Miss Normand. The eyes of Mayme Ladd are hope
 less; the slump of her tired body moans aloud, What's the use?" Then in a twlnkling the mysterious personality of Rosa Alvaro transhgures the 1ife1ess little shop girl. Her eyes become bril- liant her manner flashing, her body as
 audaciously poised as flower upon its stem. One moment Miss Normand is
 Mayme Ladd, drab and uninteresting, and the next she IS Rosa, beautiful and fascinating. The added feature for Sunday night only is Harry Carey in
 Hearts Up," a western story that is said to be of absorbing interest through Oul. <AlOlICi aura OI l1e Ou1lOdy
 night bill Is the second episode of that
 thrilling serial Double Adventure" |"
 starring the greatest of screen dare
 devils Charles Hutchinson. The first epi-
 sode was shown last week and made a
 great hit. The second episode is said
 to be even more thrilling and interest
 ing. A special attraction for Sunday
 night only Is enc of those screamingly funny Billy Franey comedies. The In ternational News completes the big pro- gram.
 On Monday afternoon Hoyt's Musical
 Revue, the biggest girl act in vaude- vile, will open its week engagement The revue is headed by Lew Brems, one
 of the best and funniest of Jewish
 comedians, and Felix Martin, an old of the Irish comedians of the old Tad
 days. Then there is Jack Sheehan, one
 of the best juveniles in the busienss.
 Melvin and Meredith are a pair of ex-
 traordinary dancers. Rose Emmett,
 prima donna, is delight to everyone,
 Dainty Madeline Buckley, soubrette i; Bonnie Rosely, character comedienne,
 and Frank Sopcr and Wallace Melvin
 are important to the plot development.
 One of the biggest attractions of
 Hoyt's Revue is the Dream Chorus, which lives up to its name in every way. Every one of the girls was selected with the greatest care by Manager Hoyt and are all good looking and extremely well formed. Starting on Monday this great company will offer their original play called Hello Broadway" which is replete with real vaudeville novelties. For Thursday, Friday and Saturday the
 bill will be completely changed and the
 company will present Wine, Women
 and Song" which has been scoring a big hit throughout the company's tour. l The picture program for the last half of the week will be headed by Madge | Kennedy in ''The Truth" joyous story 1 of a girl that just couldn't tell the truth l and loved to fib.

THE PALACE.

There is a twang of the sea, there are thrills upon thrills, there is hold ing, gripping interest and there are tingling sensations in Goddess Men," which comes to the Palace on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This great film is the Reginald Baker visualization of the Ben Ames Williams story, Black Pawl," which created a sensation among lovers of fiction when published in the Saturday Evening Post. The original tale of Black Pawl," quite appropriately renamed "Godless Men, for film purposes, lent it. pself most readily to screen adatation under the master guidance of Baker has come forth as one of the greatest films not only of the year but of a decade. The story is laid in the South Seas and for tense dramatic action, keen unfaging interest, depth of plot and stirring mar rative might well be attributed to the pen of Jack London. A wonderful char acter is that of Black Paw1," the hard

ANOTHER 10 P. (. BOOST IN RATES
 ON N. E. ROADS

New England Is confronted with an- other increase in freight and passenger rates amounting to 10 per cent. to take effect some time in April.
 An appeal for this amount was made by representatives of various New Eng land roads Saturday to the governors of all the New England states while they were assembled at conference at the state house in Boston.
 Following the conference, the gover- nors announced that they would appoint a citizens committee of five from each state to investigate the railroad situa- ton in New England and report.
 This is the second increase in rates i'll six motnhs. Last August freight rates went up 40 per cent. in New England and passenger rates 20 per cent, adding millions to the cost of transportation in this corner of the country.
 If the proposed 10 per cent. increase Is granted the people of New England will have to pay from $180O0,OOO to $23,OOOOOO more year for their trans pOrtatlon.
 Vice-President E. G. Buckland of the New Haven road, who appeared as spokesman for the railroads, said that the proposed increase was only tenn porary and would expire at the end of February next, but he pictured the sit uation i'll such uncertain colors that 1t seemed doubtful from his remarks if an increase for one year would solve the difficulty.
 At present, he said, the New England roads need $27,0OOOOO additional rev. enue to keep them from insolvency. He expected some relief from decline in the price of materials and from a re- adjustment of wages, but owing to a controversy with the labor unions as to how the readjustment was to be made, he did not expect any relief from that quarter for some time.
 One reason why the cost of operation is higher in New England than in some other sections of the country, he stated was the fact that the New England lines are terminal lines, and therefore the cost of operating expensive terminal facilities rests upon them.
 The only alternative to an increase in rates, he stated, was a receivership. Many people regard receivership, he said, much as they do a dose of castor oil, believing that it purges and puri- fes; but he contended that a receiver ship was too expensive proposition,

SECRETARY
 OF TREASURY NO
 FRIEND OF LABOR
On Contrary Is One of Most Bit ter Anti Union Men in
 Pennsylvania.

Andrew Mellon, of Pittsburgh, has been selected by President elect Hard ing as secretary of the treasury. MT. Mellon had the endorsement of the big eastern bankers, as well as Judge E. H. Gary. Recently the New York World, in anticipation of his appointment, in vestigated the past history of MT. Mel lon and published its findings, as fol- lows:
 MT. Mellon is one of the richest men III Aemrica, the fortune of his family being estimated at about $5OO,- 100000. Their interests are in steel, coke, aluminium, water power, insurance companies, oil and other basic indus trials, and the capitalization of their companies is near $2,OO0,0OO,OOO. Be sides, Mellon, with the estate of the late H. C. Prick, Is the owner of the Over holt whiskey distillery at Broad Ford, Pa.
 This Overholt distillery is of more than passing interest i'll the formation of the Harding cabinet, because it in wolves some $18,OOO,OOO worth of whis- key in storage The handling of with drawa1 permits for this whiskey by the Mellon National Bank in Pittsburgh is reported. Tn any case the Pennsylvania pOl1tlc1anS Del1eVe that MellOn Will ap- point as commissioner of internal reve- nue-to have in his hands the fate of this stock of whiskey-one Harmon Kephart, state treasurer and leader of the Penrose machine in the Connels- vile region for many years past. Kep- hart's associations with Penrose are a guaranty that he will be no Puritan in handling Me1lon's whiskey investment. That fact has brought the anti-saloon forces of the country to assail the plan for appointment of Mellon. The fact that Mellon is one of the bitterest and hardest of the anti-labor magnates in the iron and steel district has had no weight at all p

Ihe An1nn IheatrpH
THE HYPERION.

Partly because of its original plot and because 1t differs from other plays that have been seen this season at the Hyperion the production the coming week of The Rosary" is sure to find an appeal to all of the patrons of the popular home of the drama Full of the Irish that made plays like Peg O. My Heart" so tremendously popular, containing just enough of humor and pathos to form a happy combination and with a big and important role for every member of the cast a most ex- traordinary weeks business is looked for
 The story of "The Rosary" is a sim pie one. Bruce Wilton, married only a year, is jealous of any attention paid his wife by other men and although she IS deeply in love with him and true and faithful he becomes suspicious of her. At the same time a man who loves Will toms wife discovers that he is suspicious and schemes to ruin him at the same time making the husband believe that it IS his wife who IS responsible. The plan succeeds and the man Is reduced to pov- erty and rags. It is then that the kindly influence of old Father Kelley exerts itself and before the final curtain three couples involved in the misunderstood ing arrive at definite conclusions and all is peaceful and happy with the benedic- tion of the priest over all.
 Miss Bristow will play dual role, that of twin sisters, and she will play it as usual, artisticaly. MT. Fassett will have tke role of the husband and the splendid role of the kindly old priest will be played by Mr. Paul Miss Booth Miss Dively, MT. Lawrence and MT
 Gard have big and important roles and the play is in four acts.
 At the Monday matinee the Mabel bed used in the production this week
 will be given away as Manager Menges
 promised to some patron present at this particular matinee.

listed, fearless and hot tempered cap tain of the South Sea trading vessel None the less interesting Is that of Red Pawl," his evil minded, sinister son with whom the life of no man, not even that of his father, IS allowed to stand as an obstacle in gaining his ends.
 A special feature of the Sunday eve ming program will be Moon Madness" with Edith Storey and very capable cast. The picture is really one deserv- ing of a longer stay at the Palace but has been selected particularly as a spe- cial offering for Sunday only. The in- auguration pictures of President Hard ing are also a special feature and an example of the efficiency of the Palace screen service in the rapid delivery and publishing of picture news. Other films and a fine concert program form the balance of the program for Sunday evening.
 The vaudeville bill for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is calculated to furnish lively entertainment. The Jackson, Taylor Trio are delineators of that tl1S, uP,,to-d;ate: type of song known as The Blues" A Dance Revuette by the Amaranth Sisters and Company is an other feature The Seven Rosebuds are as many bright, healthy kiddies but in the various kinks of entertainmtnt knowledge they are much older In Craig and Holdsworth an audience has first an eccentric violinist and then a comic with a voice. The combination makes an act which is called Musical Eccentricities." John s. Blondy and Sister offer a novelty diversion. They are clever acrobats and perofrm many unusual stunts
 There will be an entire change of bill at the Palace Thursday when the two famous sisters, Florence Tempest and Marion Sunshine, come at the head of fine six act vaudeville program.
