Florence Vidor and AH-Star Cast Comes to the
 AICaZar

That first year of married life, when husband and wife become real ly acquainted with each other, and discover the little readjustments that must be made if they are to pull well in double harness!
 Such a story Is Woman, Wake Up" featuring an all star cast including Florence Yidor, and which Will be shown at the Alcazar theatre all next week.

Married after a very brief courtship, she finds her husbands frivolous tastes do not harmonize with her quiet, home loving disposition. And he thinks her too domesticated.
 She is willing to meet him half way but in order to get him to come half way, she has to go all the way before he realizes that marriage is a fifty-fifty game of give and take.
 The way in which she brings about q Jack Spratt- t-and- wife arrange ment makes woman. Wake Up!' one of the seasons smartest and clever est comedy dramas. Miss Vidor is given the support of Louis Calhern and Charles Meredith.

 M. Berg, who is presenting model draping act at the Lyric for the last half of the week, will give two demonstrations tomorrow in the Loveman Joseph and Loeb show win dow. In the morning he will drape some wax figures. which will remain draped through the rest of the week. In this same window, which is known as window number one, at o'clock in the afternoon, he will drape beautf- full gowns on a living model, who will be selected for her loveliness and fitness to wear charming cos- tunes. Aside from draping the model in the record time mentioned. M. Berg removes the gown intact, show ing feminine onloolxers how tbey may design their gowns before sew ing them.
 "Women of all climes and com plexions are noted for their leisurely manner of dressing" says M. Berg. many an engagement has been broken for no greater reason than a lack of punctuality." So he has de- signed this display and his draping act at the Lyric as a corrective of this feminine weakness. His model stands upon a stool divested of all but the dainty undies. Within S5 sec- onds he has her gowned in the latest fashion. During the display tomor- row several gowns will be designed on the model.

 Camille Westbrook has gone to

 curity for a loan. On shipboard and
 Tn South Africa attempts are made to get the ring from her.. Camille and Elliot become engaged. Camille re- l ceives a letter from Reggie saying he will shoot Elliot. They visit a
 diamond mine in Kimberley. At the mine Camille's stone is recognized as
 one Reggie stole there.
 Camille was thunder-struck on hearing of the guilt of Reginald Van Tuyl. yet deep in her sub-conscious
 mind she was prepared for something of the sort.
 For the word: Kimberley had all l ways made him shy like a startled horse, and she had surmised there | were dark passages in the life of the young man that one day might , be brought tn light

Woodlawn School Will Be Inspected
 Today, Says Spencer

Kennedy school at woodlawn will be inspected today by J. E. Spencer, city building inspector, acting upon request of Dr. c. B. Glenn, super intendent of schools, who yesterday directed a letter to the. inspector fol- lowing an appeal made in which it was declared by a delegation of women Wednesday that the building was in bad repair and a menace to the safety of students.
 The delegation originally asked that the school building be abandoned on account of unfitness for the pur- pose. The building is at present unsafe and endangers the lives of the children who attended the school, the delegation asserted. Action on the request made of the women will be determined upon the findings of the inspector.

"Frequently they have better taste than their mothers or their relatives. The reason for this, I believe, is be- cause these days children are learn ing about color combinations in school, and as they are taught art, they cannot help but become famil- far with what pretty and graceful lines are. Then, in school they see the different garments worn by other children wea1thier than they or whose parents are able to buy them more artistic dresses. The youngsters note the details.
 Its for that reason that many times the mothers simply trust little folks themselves to buy and over the phone they will tell me:
 "'Let Bob or Tom or Mary or Pete see what they like. If it's pret- ty, and you think 1t looks good, l know it'll be all right. However, if they want to select wrong, you choose for them. I know what you give them will be right
 And naturally with that sort of trust. how could one fail to make good? How could one fail to put her hest interests into the work?'
 Knows the Game
 Courtesy means everything if one IS BuCCeSSLu4 anu ID y Cdi dt AAe NuoA- ness of fitting children has left no secrets of the trade Miss Robertson has not mastered. She Keeps up with every new thing.
 Tt pleases me to thing of those grown-ups who are just really little boys and girls of my department l know they remember the times they came up and tried on things. and wanted everything in the shop that wasn't nailed down!"
 Miss Robertson has q most pleas ing and delightful personality. She buys 12 or 14 different kinds of things for her department-whi includes everything sold in the sec- ond floor annex of the splendid Burger store. She has been with her present firm seven years.
 Merry Days
 There are most glorious days for her now and then. I asked her what were the happiest ones she has ever spent and she smiled a queer little, very merry smile:
 "Days when we sell s2,000 worth of stuff! That's something likel And we do,N now and then. When this occurs. there's no stopping us. We simply go foolish, and of course everybody in the store has to know about it"
 Miss Robertson believes in "the woman in business and thinks if you'll put one up against most propo- sitions, she will be successful if she has the willingness to work-and to stick to her trade.
