CUT WOMAN IN HALF, LYcEuM.

CUT WOMAN IN HALF, LYCEUNT.
A lively "first-half week" show is
being presented at The Lyceum thea
ter, six big acts balancing the high
class program which features, rs a
movie, Betty Blythe In great mys-
terry drama, Ellis Wife's Husband"
Movie fans have likened this picture
to. THE Bat" as a mystery thriller.
One feature OF the vaudeville bill
is an expose of an old East India
mystery stunt of the magicians where
in a woman is enclosed in box and
the box is entirely sawed through, yet
unbelievably the woman is not in
jured. This expose is one OF the most
timely on the vaudeville stage today.
Patrons of this theater are impa-
tiently waiting for Thursday for the
opening of the Charles Rogers COM
pany's presentation OF the musical
comedy tabloid Husbands Three"
With a cast of 80 people, mostly
pretty looking chorus girls, this COM
pany puts on full evenings enter
tainment. The comedy part is car
ried by Bobby Barker, a great laugh
producer. The company also has in
dividual stars of note, including Tho
Dixie quartet, four wonderfully fine
harmony singers who introduce many
of the latest novelty song numbers as
well as several of the old stand-bys.

good coast He had had none, on
snow, since the winter before.
Arriving at the top of the slide,
Otto Otter found that others Of the
forest-folk had had the same notion
as. he. Jimmy Rabbit was there
ahead of him. And SO was Frisky
Squirrel.
1t was Jimmy Rabbit who was do
ing all the coasting, while Frisky
Squirrel looked on and kept warm
by running up tree trunk now and
then.
Otto Otter had meant to sit down
on the snow the moment he reached
the steep bank and slide all the way
! to the bottom. But he didn't do that
at all. Instead he stood still and
stared at Jimmy Rabbit, who was
half way down the slide and fast
rushing toward the foot of it.
| well, never saw anything like
that" Otto Otter exclaimed. And
his eyes stuck right out of his head.
Jimmy Rabbit. reached the end of
his coast. Looking around, he no.
ticed Otto otter staring at him.
Come ont" cried Jimmy.
Otto Otter sat down then and slid
down the bank.
What in the world is that thing?"
he asked Jimmy Rabbit.
This" said Jimmy Rabbit. This
Is my jumper. couldn't find my
red sled anywhere; SO I made this
jumper to slide on"
Let me try it!' Otto Otter begged
him.
Jimmy Rabbit was more than
willing. SO Otto Otter tried the
Jumper and said it was fine. They
took turns sliding on it. And they
were having great sport when some
body came and put an end to It,
Otto Offers cousin, Peter Mink,
saw the coasting party. He stole up
and chased Frisky Squirrel into a
tree. And he would have chased
Jimmy Rabbit, too. had not Otto
otter told him to stop.
Whats that thing?" Peter Mink
snarled, pointing to the jumper.
Jimmy Rabbit told him. i
give it to me-" Peter Mink or
dered.
Jimmy Rabbit was afraid of Peter,
Mink. So he let Peter take the
jumper.
You'll have to take turns with u.s."
Otto Otter told Peter. You slide
once; Jimmy will slide once; I'lll
slide once; and so on"
Peter Mink didn't say anything.
He climbed the bank, seated himself
upon the Jumper, gave a push with
one foot, and away he went.
