 And it must have been gratifying to Mir. Cabanne to have Mae Marsh interpret the leading character Miss Marsh is convincing always and un- surpassable in her emotional scenes.
 She is given the splendid leading support of Norman Kerry and Walter Miller, to the latter falling role sec ond only to Miss Marsh's in sympathy appeal. Martha Mansfield is pretty and charming in a small role.
 The Keith vaudeville show is head cd by MT. Ted Claire and his big company of entertainers with Anton Lada's Louisiana Orchestra, famous record makers. It is very fine of- fering and was well liked at the per formances yesterday. The other four acts arc great and very entertaining.
 Has Eddie Beat
 Anthony, whistler and accordion ist, appearing on the vaudeville bill in the Capitol theater, defies anyone on the stage to beat his record as a father.
 Eddie Foy says it took him life time to build up his act. but his sep tette is shaded by Anthony, who. at the age of 34, is the father Of eight children. three boys and five girls.
 Anthony doesn't carry his family with him on his vaudeville tour, main ly for economical reasons. His kid dies wear out their shoes and clothes in little town just outside Boston, The children are all American born, although Anthony and his wife were born in Italy.

CAUSE FOR ACTION
Interview With Sun Vat Sen Bc. lieyed to Have Prompted Allies to Land at Canton,
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Picking, Dec. 7.--An interview with Sun Tat Sen, South China leader, published recently in the North China Daily News of Shanghai, Is said to have been partly respon- sible for the action of the powers yesterday in landing marines from foreign warships to guard the cus- toms house at Canton.
 In the interview Sun definitely de- clared it was his intention to seize the customs. He was quoted as say ing he probably would take this step fin inc near future without previous notification Of the consuls as he con sidered it none of their affair.
 Sun estimated the customs rev.- nues from the provinces of Kwang- tung and Fukien, both Of which ho claims to be under the authority Of the South China government, 10 he si0,o00,000 yearly. He is said 10 have announced his purpose Of or dering the customs commissioner tc pay him all Of Kwangtung's quota, If the commissioner refused, accord ing 10 the interview, Sun would ask that he be replaced.
 Apparently foreseoing some for eign objection, Sun is quoted as stat ing that if Picking fell short in the requirements 10 meet the loan charged against the revenues, he would remit Kwangtung's proper proportion.

CANCER.
By Dr. Clifford c. Robinson

CANCER.
 According to Dr. W. A. Conley of New York. cancer now kills more peo- pie yearly than any other one disease. You may be pleased to learn that a group of physicians. who met recent ly in New York, founded a society for the scientific study and treatment of cancer.
 The project of educating the gen. eral public in the essentials regard inging cancer should be an every day affair. when such serious inroads are being made by this disease among our people. How can this best be done in claiming the attention of this new society.
 It is shown by some physicians and hospital reports that cancer claims nearly 10 per cent of the adult population. During the past so years. deaths from cancer have increased three-fold. It is more prev alent among women than men.
 The real caus Of cancer. except in certain external cases when injury and infection have played important parts, Is not really known. No regu- lar diet or particular food seems to increase or diminish cancer cases However there is danger from long continued action or irritation of eer- tain parts. as the lips or nose.
 If the layman will use due precau- tion and see to it that any form of chronic irritation, pus formation or alteration be treated by competent physician at once, gain may come our way,
 Cancer in its early stages is not painful, This Is an additional warn ing to use every means to ward it of. Some formation of chemical ferments, not however the direct re- suit of food conditions, is believed to cause cancer by the majority of modern students,

"LIIILE OLD NEW YORk"-PalAce
 In this age of fiappers and jazz and the. upsetting of all traditions the sight of an old-fashioned eirl--one of hundred years ago with her winsome, modest charm and her feminine ruffles and frills-will be a refreshing sight. Marion Davies as Patricia O'Day will bring to the screen just such a girl in her Cosmopolitan picture Little Old New York" which opens at the Palace theater on Mon day. Patricia is gay and full of fun. but she also has the shyness and re- serve which characterized the girl of long ago and made her so alluring.
 In this delightful screen story Miss Davies has another big role which is a worthy follow-up for Princess Mary Tudor which brought the young &C., tress worldwide fame in When Knighthood Was in Flower"
 She thoroughly enjoyed playing the part for she comes of Irish ancestry herself and she makes the character of plucky little Pat" shine with wit and sparkling humor
 Tonights bill has Jackie Coogan in his greatest photoplay Long Live the King" which will close a weeks en- gagement Saturday.

recipes arc planned for four persons).
 CANaPES
 1f you like unusual and attractive dishes and "HNings" for your little diners these suggestions will appeal to you.
 The beginning of a dinner goes far toward it's surccss, A vegetable or sea- food cocktail preceding the soup whets the appetite and is always in good taste But dainty and quite sophisticated first course is found in a canspe.
 If definite color scheme has been planned for the meal the colors can hc used in these tiny highly seasoned arpetiaCrs. Their mission is to stim- ulate the appetite through the eye as well as the palate,
 X canape is served hot or cold on small plate covered with s paper dolly A small fork is included in thesilver service.
 Expensive. imported ingredients arc not necessary. American cream cheese carefully seasoned can be worked into just as satisfactory com binstions ns a>far more expensive cheese. Salmon can take the place of crab meat. domestic caviar replace imported and bloater paste substitute anchovy. However the amount needed is so small that q little of the most cHtravagant ingredient goes a long way. A highly seasoned butter or cream plays an important part in all canHpes
 Cheese Canapes
 Cut brown bread in slices three eights Of an inch thick. Cut in rounds two and one half inches in diameter Toast and spread with mustard but ter. Cover with a thick layer Of grated and pimonto puree. Put in hot oven until cheese is melted. Serve at once.

Madge Was Not Sure What the
 Interview Accomplished

had a distinct qualm Of uneasi ness as I hurled at Dicky the infer ence that Alfred's car had beer wrecked on a joy-ride in which he Alfred, Bess Dean and some other girl had been the participants. From many little things which l saw and heard at the Durkee home. I was req sonabiy certain that Ress, Alfred and Dicky shared the knowledge of the car laid up for repairs in Alfred's mild phraseology, but my words, and the other Charms:" had been pure invention, and behind my mask Of ap- parent anger I watched Dicky mar rowly for the effect of the accusation.
 Instantly, however. saw that the wild arrow had struck home, For a second he forgot even to be angry in his absolute amazement

 "Ress :" he exclaimed as if in sudden enlightenment, then bit back the word and tried to cover 1t by 8 cracking volley Of abiurgations. But 1t had been uttered. and permitted myself a mental chuckle, I would be no match for Dicky in a battle Of wits for which he was prepared, but l had taken him oft his guard, and that, with an uneasy conscience, had put him at 2 distinct disadvantage. V suited me perfectly, however, to have him believe that Bess Dean had told me Of the escapade, even while pretending 10 him and Alfred that my knowledge would mean Leila's, l had 8 distinct memory of warning ] had overheard my former colleague give Alfred
 Another Nniiey
 IT was no part of my plan, how ever, to give Dicky any time to rally his deductive powers. I meant .o keep the game in my hands as long as possible.
 The source Of my information isn't important" said loftily Neither, to me is the fact that you were present upon the eNpedi- tion which left the car in Farm inrdalc garage, or was it an Amity- vile on? Alfred had it located in both places, when he was trying To give mo a plausible reason for the cars absence. Generator trouble, believe he said. [ am passing these facts on 10 you in order to save you the trouble Of inventing new ones"
 The volley of shrapnel broke over my head again, but paid TO atten. ton to it.
