attraction at the Victory theatre,
three nights and matinee, beginning
Thursday, Jan. 5.
Miss Lulu Bett" is comedy in
three acts, written by Zona Gale, and
founded upon her own highly success
full novel of the same name. 1t comes
with the acclaim of 25 prosperous
weeks at the Belmont theatre in New
York, plus the distinction of having
won the thousand dollar Pulitzer prize

year.
Like the novel, the play deals with
the life and the people of a small
Middle Western town, its action cen
tering about a wistful and sympathetic
spinster whom fate has cheated out of
her birthright of love and happiness
until the unexpected arrival of Prince
Charming in the person of the black
sheep of the family where Miss Bett
works as the household drudge. Dis
covering during her honeymoon that
her husbnd is bigamist, her bliss is

MURRAY

A strong, dramatic picture of a
house divided against itself-of broth
er against brother-told against real
islc background, is offered in WON
en- Who Wait" the Playgoers-Pathe
feature showing now at the Murray
theatre with a cast that features Mar
guerite Clayton, Creighton Hale and
George MacQuarrie.
This is story of fisher-folk of a
New England village, and revolves
around the conflict of two brothers
one whose nature is vicious; the other
tender and true. Into their lives en-
ters girl who is loved by both, al
though the wicked brother triumphs
through treachery. In the end, how
ever, the good brother wins the girl
whose love has waited through the
years.
A charming New England fishing
village is the locale for Women Who
Wait and its rugged, rockbound
coast, its heavy fogs and sudden rag
ing storms, and a picturesque old
lighthouse supply the background for
some thrilling and tense moments in
the story.

champion of the world, who is now at

Man You Cannot Lift
Try as they will, those who assay
to lift the 110 FOUNDER, all will admit
defeat. Johnny first allows himself
to be lifted, and then on the second
trial he places one hand on the pulse
and a finger on the neck of the litter.
and he sticks" to the floor. Demp-
sey, Carpenter, King Albert of Bel
GUM, all have failed to lift the little
man, according to Johnny. 1t will
keep you guessing.
''The Wop and the Girl perhaps
finds the greatest favor of the remain
ing three acts. Much of the success
of this Offering is due to the brilliant
work of the "Wop." Several gags"
are pulled which make their first ap-
pearance here. Decidedly interesting.

Sir George Darwin demonstrated
that the friction set up IN the earth by
the drag OF the tides Is acting as a
kind of brake which slowly but surely
is causing the earth 10 turn more slow
ly ON It's axis. SO slowly, indeed. that
the length Or the day-which Is de-
cided by one axlal revolution OF the
earth-is increasing by only about one
two-hundredth Of a second In a CEN
fury. But the cumulative effect OF this
slowing up means that the day will
eventually be some l.4Oo hours long.
And as the earth is retaliatlng on the
moon by pushing IL further away
when that epoch is reached the month
will be the same length as the day. so
that the moon will then revOlve round
the earth i'm the same time that the
earth turns on its axis. aud there will
be no tides at all.

NAPOLEON SURVEYED

This treatment certainly is accorded
by Mr.. Grant. lie dclves into the re.

lar ideals of Napoleon, jotting down here
and there little items of his affaircS
dcs coeur''-not enough to warrant a
full chapter but enough to give spice.
Summing him up culturalT, Mr..
Grant finds that Napoleon was some
thing like the hardly lamested William
Of Germany. one who posed as Il pa
tron and critic of the arts, and whose
IDEAS had insight from extrinsic nu-
thority and not from essential merit or
lure. His dramatic criticisms are re-
called in detail, as are his attempts to
impress his own individuality upon the
art of his time. No one ever will know
nil about Napoleon and for that reason
