Attractions At Theatres
PALACE FEATURE IS
 REAL FARCE COMEDY

A hilarious farce comedy of back stage life, frantic weeks of life in theatrical boarding houses and l hectic promoting of free meals is now on view at the Palace Thea tre.
 The picture is Lady Be Good, !" a First National production based on the musical comedy success of that name, and it opened it's local engagement last night. i Dorothy Mackail and Jack Null hall in the featured roles romp through the delightful comedy in the fetching manner that has made them such highly popular players, and strong supporting cast lends itself commendably to the comedy scenes.
 Mulhall plays the role of vaude- vile magician, with two ambitions in life. One is to play engage ment at the Palace Theatre in New York-the dream of every vaude- vile performer, hewever lowly-and the other is to marry his assistant, Miss Mackaill
 Amusing as are the scenes back stage in the theatre, the real fun begins when the magician and his assistant are out of work and must convince the suspicious landlady of theatrical boarding house that they arc rolling in wealth.
 The supporting cast includes such capable performers as Dot Farley, James Finlayson, Nita Martan, John Milan and others.

LONDON, July TO- U.H The
British submarine L-69, sister ship
of the Liz. which yesterday sent the
British submarine L-47 to the bot
tom of the Irish sea with a crew
Of 81 aboard, dived continuously to-
day in mountainous seas attempting
to communicate by sound telegraphy
with the sunken craft. A bell was
used with the Morse code. but no re-
ply was forthcoming from the
depths.
The preliminary report of Rear
Admiral H. E. Grace, in command
of all British submarines, was most
pessimistic today regarding the like
lihood of rescue of the 81 reported
aboard.
AL Thought Dead
Il am convinced" the report
stated, that there is no possibility
that any of the crew of the L-47
remained alive more than a very
few minutes. The weather momen-
tarily is against successful efforts to
locate the Sunken vessel.
Both the L-47 and the Liz were
cruising on the surface at $40 a. m.
when the collision occurred The
Liz struck the HAT on the port
side at right angles abaft the fore
most control room bulkhead. The
HAT sank within a few seconds,
bow foremost in depth of 35 faith
oms, 1880 feetD..
Orders had been given to close
the doors and abandon ship. From
the evidence of the surviving COM
manding officer it appears the
doors could not have been closed at
the time. .,- ss.
Sank Forty Feet
THE Liz was carried down 40
feet at an angle of SO degrees after
the collision. The captain, other
officers and men on deck were
thrown into the water Consider
able water entered the LIZ before
the matches could be closed"
The deaths were placed at "a to-
day by P. v. Alexander. first lord
OF the admiralty. This includes the
member of the LIZ crew who died
last night from injuries, Alexander
told the House of Commons.

/ believe tina: the proper method
would be to thoroughly mix the dry
material by scarifying and disking
them, using a blade grader to fin
ish with.
The cause of the rich mixture and
irregularity of thickness of pave
ment is due to lack OF inspection. L
feel that the Paving Engineer could
not properly inspect the entire job,
and that he erred in not reporting
this matter to the Board of City
Commissioners SO that they could
have provided assistance in making
a proper inspection of the paving.
I recommend that the profile of
the gutter line in the paved dis
trict as shown on the accompanying
map be smoothed out so that the
water Will run freely and not stand
in pu0dleS.
On the attached map Ihave care
fully noted all discrepancies in paw
ing thickness and hereby offer you
the same for more comprehensive
view of the situation.
At the point where each measure
ment OF depth of paving was made
have placed a red cross on the

placed or said map may be easily
verified.
I further recommend that all of
the above errors in said paving job
be corrected.

Now. under threat of action to

on his engineering contract, the
board has a peculiar problem to
solve. Under the engineering con-
tract which Mr.. Slocum induced the
city to enter into. the city seems
to be legally bound, technically.
But We wonder if, in entering in
to such a contract, Mr.. Slocum did
not himself incur some obligations
to the city and the public-the OBJ

in a manner to best promote the
interests of the property owners
