THREE FEArURos-LyCEUM


 The l.yceum presents really three features today since the first episode of the new serial. "Pcrils Of the Wild" is being shown. The two regular attractions are Laura La Plante in "Thc Tcaser," and Elaine Hammerstein in IS O s. Perils of the Sea-"
 Tn "Thc Tcaser," Miss LaPlantc plays the part of socially prom inent young woman whose wilos lure on the male sex and whose romantic adventures eventually lead her, into no end of trouble.
 Miss Hammerstein in IS 0 S Perils of the Sea" plays an unusual role with her accustomed charm. She is a lost hciress, raised in gnor- ance of her real position by people in a litle fishing village. She falls in love with q clean, but humble fish - erman and even after she learns her true identity she becomes his wife.
 The picture, too, has plenty of thrills. one of the greatest occurring early in the play when German submarine, during the war, torpe- does a liner. The girls mother is lost, but the little girl is rescued and brought ashore to the fisher vii. lage.

It's Worth the Money

Golfers certainly are persistent,

clares a seller Of supplies at the syl-
van Glen course. mot long ago a
well-knickered chap with plenty OF
clubs and a terrible slice bought three
balls to start his game. At the first
tee he drove all three into the creek
below, a creek that holds enough wa
ter to make recovery impossible. He
came back and sought three more and
shot two Of this new supply into the
creek with the others before he finally
drove over. After that he played all
the way around with the one ball. His
experience Is not unusual, either.
Others suffer the same way. But they
keep on buying balls until they make
a successful drive. And that one drive
always seems to compensate them
for their losses."-Detroi News.
