Those who like to hear absolutely the latest in popular songs and, what is more, hear them sung in the most snappy manner possible. would dQ well to visit Tox's this last half of the week and hear ulis and Lee, two male singers, who have an extensive reper- toire of the most up-to-date song hits. Van Orden and l'allows, fellow and girl are clever dancers, both alone and in duet, and Dow Ding, China man from San l'rancisco's Chinatown, has an Oriental number all his own. "A Perfect Day" a short comic sketch, presents in an amusing man. ner the trials and tribuations of mar ricd life.
 The ever alluring Norma Talmadge, with the always clever and versatile Eugene OBricn, swirl through the feature picture, Ghosts of 1ester- day, in a way that makes this one of their best efforts. The plot is writ ten around young artist who on the eve of his coming into a vast fortune loses his adored wife by death. Grief crazed, he goes from bad to worse, seeking forgetfulness in the wild rev ery of Paris night life. While ire quenting the cabarets he meets the queen of the dancers, a cold, merci- less vampire, whose only thought is of herself. But though he seeks to for get, ever his wife's face haunts him and this forms the basis of the story.
