the prospects for their candidate are gloomy. The chief interest in the election centers on the fate of the Erickson bill, which would place the cost of the municipal street railway system on the tax payers instead of the users and patrons of the sys- tenn. From the vote so far counted it would appear that the measure was defeated by a big majority, some predicting as high as 10000.

be known as stage manager.
His present problem is very sim

Comedy-Drama Is
the Ragged Robin

When Chauncey Olcott presents
his current success, Ragged Rob
in" at the Illinois theatre for one
night, Saturday, Jan. 2s 1t will be
noted that Mr.. Olcott is the one
actor on the American stage who
humanizes all sorts of gloomy, de-

his magnetic personalities, his
quaint expressions and happy ex-
ample.
From advance reports it is easy
to believe that Ragged Robin is
that can be seen without embar-

powerful appeal to every Mover of

Jackie Coogan Stars
in "My Boy" at the
Spencer Square

To be a star at years of age
is a sign of genius-nothing less.
And that is what Jackie Coogan
is-a genius. This likable little
chap is appearing at the Spencer,
where his latest production, My
Boy, an Associated First National
attraction, began a run yesterday.
Jackie proves that person
doesn't have TO be an adult to be
a motion picture star. 1t is doubt
full if there is any other star in
the profession who has the follow
ing possessed by Jackie Coogan,
for his last two pictures, The
Kid, in which he played second
part to Charles Chaplin, and
"Peck's Bad Boy, in which he
played the undisputed lead, have
been the best money-making films
OF the past year.
There isn't any emotion which
Jackie cannot register-and regis
ter with a. punch. He is a born
actor, if there ever was one of that
l.species, and it is constant delight
to watch him at work on the
screen. All of his pictures are far
too short; one wishes he could sit
forever and watch this little actor
going through his part.
!. My Boy" is excellent entertain
ment; not only because the kid"
is in it, but because he has story,
written especially for him, which
fits him like the proyerbial glove
and which gives him full opportu-
nifty to display his varied talents.
The story is that of little imlmi-
grant orphan, who lands in New
York and escapes deportation
by the immigration authorities
through ruse. He wins the
hearts of all those with whom he
comes into contact, and eventually
finds home. joy and peace.
If we had had the time we would
have seen the picture for the sec
ond time. That's how good it is.
Jackie Coogan and My Boy
strike a responsive chord in the
hearts of all human beings
