AT THE RYLANDER.

Fools First" a Marshall Neilan
production, at the Rylandef theater
today and Thursday as First Ma
tional attraction, relates in a vivid
manner the foiling, Of a band OF
crooks who had planned to rob the
largest bank in town.
The band reached the bank with
out creating suspicion in The mind of
any night policemen by carrying
their tools in musical instrument
cases. For hours they toiled at the
door of the massive vault before
they opened it-and then they dis
covered that the packages of money
which they were seeking were
missing.
As they were about to leave, dis
gruntled, Tommy Frazer entered,
with the packages under his arm.
Tommy bad formerly been asso-
ciated with them, but had turned a
new leaf" He had stolen the pack
ages, but just as he was about to
board a train out of town had re-
Tented, and was returning. The band
set upon him and after a fight es-
capped with the loot. But when they
opened the packages they found no
money within. The bank president
had fooled them.
Claire Windsor, Claude Gilling-
water and Richard Dix play the
leading roles in this production,
which is based on the Saturday
Evening Post story by Hugh McNair
Kahler.
