Douglas MacLean is coming to the Temple theatre all this week in the greatest comedy achievement of his career.
 Never Say Die," his latest screen triumph, is an adaptation of one of Willie Golfers greatest stage successes, piece which kept Broadway laughing for year and also played for three successive seasons on the road. The play was also presented in London, Au- stralia and other world centers where it swept audiences off their feet and broke attendance records. But the screen version is said to be even more funny and thrilling than was possible through the limited medium of the stage.
 Douglas MacLean is cast in the role of wealthy young fellow who, if he doesn't marry, will have his fortune go to charity. So it is arranged for

PLAYLET HEADS NEW LYRIC BILL.
Tops Five Act Vaudeville Program Beginning
 Monday

With Keith vaudeville alreay firmly , established again in the affections of theatergoers, really it had never de- parted, the Lyric begins it's second s week of the season with bill which is indicative of the high standard that 3 Manager Walter $. Crosbie intends to maintain at the popular playhouse dur
 ing the coming months. The five acts of big-time Keith vaudeville and the
 scren novelties show careful selec-
 tion for the entertainment of Lyric pa E irons.
 The headliner for the first half of the week is comedy playlet, "The . Wrecker," with cast of well-known players in the three clever roles. '"The Wrecker" set out with only one end in view, that of being a deliciously : funny sketch to amuse. The author 2 has succeeded admirably in his purpose. The wrecker in this case is mother in-law and what she docs to a happy home may be justly classified as a crime.
 , The added attraction brings a novel, ty and what critics all over the Keith circuit call an excellent one. Chinko and Kaufman, eccentric jugglers, offer < , and ends of entertainment requiring skill and artistry and said to be blended
 together expertly make up the num- Der.
 i The special feature brings on a comedy collection, gathered and served by Phil Coscia and Al Verdi. String
 ing Comedy" is what they call their
 collection of string music and fun
 making hits n combination that is de clared to be one of the most unusual in vaudeville.
 To round out the bill Emile Nathane
 and Julia Sully offer a dainty song
 and dance offering, while Bigson Her
 bert and Barbara Keely, late of mu-
 sical comedy, entertain under the de-
 scriptive title of "Laughlanders."

 It is depositing boulders weighing tons on the sandy plains surrounding this small lumber center.
 A new channel has been cut by the flow. which has obliterated all traces of the forest service road to the nur- sery formerly owned by the govern ment for 200 yards.
 So great is the influence of temper ature on the volume of the mud flow that on chilly nights it ceases almost entirely. only to break out again the next day when the sun strikes the McClond glacier. The flow causes a rumbling noise that can be heard at a great distance.

 Although this would make the, temperance movement stronger 1T many ways, there is opposition t, the union of the two bodies. due to the psychological effect it would have upon the wet forces, which it is stated by opponents of the plan, would take the amalgamation as d sign of weakness by the two present societies.
 A similar proposal was made by the Sons of Temperance two years ago but was rejected by the Temple of Honor. This year the former body has again suggested combining forces. The proposal will be acted upon at Wednesdays session.
