THREE LOSE LIVES
 IN BROCKTON FIRE
Continued From First page)

tWo-story brick inhrmary building, attached to the dormitory by q long corridor. Fire was prevented from reaching the infirmary or other structures but the roof, the upper floor. and one end of the dormitorV were destroyed by the blaze.
 The dormitory was built in 1SS". City officials had planned in recent years to improve and enlarge the structure. During the fire the mayor estimated that q new building would cost $100.G00.
 The blaze was discovered by Mrs. Annie Mskis, d cook. who slept on the top floor. Smoke awakened her at 12:3O q. m. and she aroused two maids. who gave the alarm to the dormitory. Later she was orcr- come by smoke on returning into the building and was assisted out by q policeman.

day. however. by striding among the exhibitors and shouting: ''Forty- three Schnauzcrs, forty-thrc@ 5chnauzers."
 Experts Sigh in Relief
 To all true dog lovers those were honcycd words, for it is generally uudcrstoo that any show with 41 Schnauzcrs can carry on despite the shortage of Eskimo foXhounds.
 Throughout the three days the dogs will be judged and eliminated until tomorrow night the best dog in the country will be chosen. It Is the idea that this creature shall bn the super-dog. but just how the ludgcS are going to choose between Il pomcranian that could be used as powder puff and q Boston ter ricr that resembles nothing so much IS an oNcr@roWn rodent, is one Of those problems that judges must settle for themselves.
 One incXpcrt reporter. whose cX- pcricnCc with dogs has been con- fined largely to the variety that you smear with mustard and put be- tween buns, selected his supcr-doe as soon as he saw an Irish wolf hound that stood five feet high. That animal, it seemed. combined the best features Of q hearth rug, footstool and horse.
 Look for Brandy Kegs
 That judgment is hardly fair, however. because the reporter did not view all the dogs. He fingered too long in front of the st. Bernard section looking for the miniature kegs of brandy which he had been led to expect from fiction stories would be around the dogs neclis. Ky the time an attendant informed him that the brandy kegs were worn only by St. Bernards who rescued people in the Alps, it was too late To do anything about the rest of the show. <

GET HOT SHOW
IS FULL OF
PEP

This week the Gayesy features
Get Hot" which as its name
implies, is chuck full Of pep.
AL Hitler, Dutch comedian and
Joe Forte are the starred players
and they make the most Of their
many opportunities.
Joe Montague Is the best juve-
nile to have shown at this house,
possessing a pleasing voice, an
educated pair Of feet and q
likable personality. Artie Brooks,
a tall, loose-limbed fellow, has
that quiet but spontaneous brand
Of humor, which he puts over,
without the aid Of the customary
flouriShes.
Gladys Mccormick and Alice
Duval, both shapely misses, gave
the audience the kind Of singing
and dancing that the. crave.
Aline Rodgers and Mae Maiben
appear to advantage several
times.

He discusses current affairs in
the inimitable manner which has
endeared him to theatergoerS the
nation over, and he sings q num-
ber from the screen production
which gets a good round Of ap.

You'll Like Eddie
You'll like Eddie; he has a
pleasant personality, a likeable
manner and an amusing line Of
chatter.
The story of the film feature,
briefly, is an incident of the late
war, told in a series of cut-backS
from a court room scene where
a man is on trail for murder. A
light-hearted chap, who has just
made "big-time" on Broadway,
leaves his success for the bigger
show going on overseas; all
through the war he wins praise
for his kindness. his mercy to
the enemy.
On Christmas night, 1917, he
saves the life of a young German
soldier, in a gas attack, but re-
turns home himself a victim of
that disastrous gaSsing. His life
is most unhappy, knowing that
his chances for going on with his
career are nil and CALLED by the
knowledge that he must be sup
ported by wife whom he adores.
he broods over his misfortunes and
in a moment of insanity kills
man he believes is trying to break
up his home.
1t is a remarkably well-done play
with a trial scene that puts 70
shame the many similar scenes we
have had of late. Henry Walthall,
grand old timer, plays the attor-
ney for the defense with the sim
cerity and finish for which he has
long been noted. Betty Compsoi1
Is the wife. lovely and capable and
Mr.. Bowling adds new laurels to
his film career.
The short features include a
news flash Of worldwide events
and a Vitaphone short with
Charles Ruggles famous inebriate

A REAL THRILL.
In FEATURE
AT FOX

ONE scene alone saves the "Sky
" Hawk" current attraction at
the Fox, from falling into the
class of what might be termed
a mediocre featuree. That one
episode, in an otherwise indif-
ferent sort of a piece. a fight be-
tween a Zeppelin and a plane,
is well worth the price Of admis-
sion and does give the spectator
a genuine thrill.
The picture, as the name
implies, is a war piece laid in
England and centers about the
tribulations Of an aviator who,
after disobeying orders on the
eve of his transfer to France,
crashes and is put in the class
Of those earning the white
feather.
The girl in the case, Of course,
comes to the rescue of her lover,
who has acquired a condemned
plane, fits it up with the aid of
his sergeant mechanic and when
London is being raided by the
Zeppelin, crippled as he is, the
young flier single-handed whips
the German raider and then the
fadeout to the tune Of wedding
bells.
John Garrick as the flier, Joan
Allen as the girl and Billy Bevan
as the sergeant do really good
work and the supporting cast
does as well as can be expected.
But, as we said before, do not
expect too much, as you will not
find it in this picture.
The stage presentation. Fan
chon and Marcos Kisses" is
excellent, including as it does
numbers by Joe and Jane Nc
Kenna, and this pair are knock
outs; Will Cowen, really excel
lent; Wallin and Barnes, Mable
and Marcia, Dave Hacker, Helen
Aubrey, a charming bit Of fem
unity, and the e Flat -Four.
The Fox Moxietone rounds out
the bill.-G. M. H.
