We are fortunate. r.
When Toby played 1.-The Gossips" in
Wichita the papers there were unani-
nous in their opinion that it is, the
best play that he has. They said
many complimentary things about his
other plays and went so far as to say
that his was the best show that had
ever hit Wichita. And you know
down Wichita way they are pretty
hard boiled, so after hearing what
they said about 1.-THE, Gossips" we can
readily say that you will see one of
his best plays.

In connection with Tony for the
first half of the week, the feature
picture will be Marion Davies in
"Beauty's Worth" Miss Davies is seen
at the opening of the picture as a lit
tie demure and shy Quakeress, who is
happy with her surroundings because,
Ignorance is bliss" But when she
goes to visit some wealthy friends at
a fashionable seaside resort, she learns
things and teaches some few snobs
what it means to be polite to people
Toby Wilson will present another
bill for the last half of the week, the
name of which will be announced
later. You can bet your last dollar
that it will be funny and that you will
take no chances in seeing it.
For the last three days of the week
the feature picture will be Mid
night" with an all star cast headed
by Constance Binney. Just as mysti-
flying and thrilling as the name sounds
is the picture To say anything about
the plot would be to give away the
whole secret of what is in store for
you all. So come and see for yourself.

That Ideal Neighbor.

He is just old enough to suit the
husbands and young enough to suit
the wives. He has money enough to
do everything the neighbors want to
do, but not enough to make any of
them envious.
He is busy enough to be an example
to the lazy husbands and leisurely
enough to make a good companion
for them. He can lend any kind of
automobile or garden tool; can play
chess, checkers, cribbage, bridge,
pinochle. poker. golf, tennis and
rogue. He can dance, swim and ride;
he likes to fish and knows just where
to go for bait, canned or bottled. He
can change a tire and start an un-
startable car.
He admires eyerybody's children
and everybody's house lawn, pictures,
books, cars, dogs and putters. He is
the ideal neighbor. There is only one
disa greeable thing about him. No
body likes him.-Life.

for the week starting Monday. Two
programs of pictures have been ar
ranged that will surprise even the
regulars for their bignesS in variety.

one starting Thursday include four
features and it is hardly possible that
one can view either without finding
something highly interesting
For the first three days there will
be a two-reel drama THE Ner-To-
Return Road" featuring Wallace
BeeFy as the star. This half hour is
crowded with intense human interest
and acting of the highest type. The

Williams has presented the local corps
Of the Salvation Army with 5000 as
a bequest from Mrs. Sylvia Smith who

had seen instances of the splendid
work of the organization and her will
provided that it should share in her

Salvation Army officers say that
requests of this kind have become
more frequent in the last few years,

are becoming better acquainted with
the real purpose and accomplishments
