We don't know Just where Frank gets that "Kin" stuff, so far as we're con rerned. but at that we'll sar It is a good show, with dainty bits of femininity the chief attraction First come the Clinton Sisters, In a fu turistic setting, and offering a number of bare-legged interpretive dances, in which they interpret all the way from the Sphinx in studied contemplation of why the desert is so dry, to the carefree flehrr-boy on their way to the stream. Their act-Is a novelty. Then T comes Keta Johnson, the girl ' with the violin voice, who entertains satisfactorily and fools her audience, which is always good stuff because It is the physcholoKy of the vaudeville fan ' that he likes to be fooled, inasmuch as it Kives him opportunity to "kid" himself into believing that he "knew ft all, the time." - Next is Bessie' Kempel at Co. In sketch of thrills, chills and trills, entitled "A. Child of Chllds." It has to do with the activities of three men who, in a haunted house, scare the wits of a young woman who thinks she wants to turn crook, i Tftere's nothing serious about any of It, but it's rather unusual -and went good last night. Lester Crawford and Helen Broderick entertain with dialogue and patter, and then comes the big "girl act" of the eve ning, "The Keckless Kve." a musical comedy tabloid, well set, well sung and W.ll antaA VTfltfo.. 7 n ...ft mere, .

Mostly girls, so -far, you see. and still they come, for Florence Merrltt and Baby Bridewell are a nifty duo of en tertainers, refreshing in their halve or iginality and naturalness. They were most happily received. r The Sterlings, roller skaters and dano era. featuring a stunt on an electrically charged griddle, close the bill next to the travel weekly. The show goes through Wednesday aiiernoon. Chas. Ray in "The Sheriff's Son" Is Liberty Offering Artistic Easter decorations and the girl uehers, who ; were attractively at tired in costumes of a military sugges tion, greeted the patrons of the Liberty theatre' Sunday. The photoplay which lured hundreds to the popular playhouse, "The Sheriff's Son," in which Charles liay depicts the part of the hero, whose chief aim- was mastery of himself. By the exercise of rare will power and a de termination to overcome all obstacles the hero emerged from a combination of trying difficulties In a triumphant man The piece, as its name suggests, is bristling with far western situations, in vhlch are Interspersed just enough of the gunplay ana physical courage mani festations to charm and captivate1 and thrill the spectators." The hero part is not that of the grand stand order, how pver, aunougn xne climaxes leave no ; oubt as to who Is master of the situa tion. One of the pleasing features of t he program is the character depicted by eena Owen, a girl of dashing nature nd wilful disposition. Mrs. Henry B. lurtagh rendered a solo, entitled v"The loly City," in most acceptable manner. Charlie Chaplin cartoon appears as the . omedy offering. MEETINGS TOMORROW A.

Satne as ever-always on the rush. was ! the enthusiastic reply. "When I reached the office at 9 this morning. I was !sent out immediately to see the family of a boy in France whose last message from home had contained the news! of the serious Illness of both his father and mother. After locating the family and gathering much news. I was aoie to wire that the mother had died but that the father was recovering. To morrow I shall send a letter with fill the latest news from home. - - , . "After sending the wire from the of fice, 1 called to see Mrs. 1s perfectly Deaumui new DaDy. ssne was delighted with the clothes which the nurse had taken to her for her little son, and thanked the visitor for the wonderful care provided her at the hospital by tho Red Cross.. "Mrs. B. was waiting for me at the office. She hasn't received any allot ment at all and at the present time she is unable ta get work. We directed her to the women s division of the federal employment bureau, where she learned of a nice family who needed a house keeper.) Until she is certain of a posi tion, the Red Cross' will look out for her present financial needs. 4 "After lunch I went uo to the hnmlfoi t take Louisa some books. You know she had an operation on her spine which we hope will enable her to walk without crutches, as she has had to do since she was a little girl. ;From the hospital I took a car out to the east side to look at a five-room cottage for Mrs. O. The house where she Is now living is down in a gulch where the sanitation is far beinw Iatton. After talking over the details with Mrs. Q. we planned that we would move th first of the week. 8he said, "How happy Bob will be when he comes .home from kvh nrm find niei and the children n nouse wnere we can have a garden. M Women Discuss Economy in Clothes Higid Simplicity Means More Time ! for the Things Worth While. MOT particularly good acting but a well worked-out play that holds the Interest at every turn, is the fairest comment that can be made on Seven Keys to Baldpate" as played at the Baker this week. The play itself shows very good technique in the handling of the characters and In the other details that go to make a well-finished product. From Olive Teirmleton rieht down through the Hne to Walter Corry, the owner of Baldpate Inn, the characters are not suited to their parts. It wasn't the fault of the actors so much as the fault of the manager who picked the play for them. In. spite of the fact that the. actors do not fit in well, however. the' play is good enough to make most people overlook the defects, and to hold the interest of the audience throughout. Olive Templeton would never make a good newspaper reporter, and her style of acting calls for a part that has more feeling in it, rather than a tart in which abe is supposed to be daring and adventarrfus. Albert McGovern Is a good actor, though he doesn't do well as & writer of wild novels, and he mariaM a pistol about like one would expect him to manage a sewing machine. The other characters are equally unsuited. Irvinsr Kennedy as the chief of police being the most of-of-place. The play is nevertheless interesting ana worm seeinc. it Is full of clever situations that anyone can enjoy. "Hot Old Sports" Is Offering This Week at the Lyric The Lyric Musical Comedy company offers "Hot Old Sports" this week with the Rosebud chorus to the front as usual in the musical trimmings. This action leads up to a big horse race In which all the characters arc interested to the extent of their cash balances and then some. The race is fixed and framed so many ways that everyone with a sure tip on the inside has a dead cinch, just as people who frequent race tracks have had since horse racing began. , And thus the sports assemble, scheme, cut-throat and lay dark and deep plans to skin the other fellow, with Ike always In the thick of it. The action - is punctuated by several catchy song and chorus numbers, among wmcn are Madeline Mathew'a comic 'Uloo-dle-e-a," with eccentric dance and chorus assistance, Billie Bina-ham's Rosebud" and the Rosebud girls. Clar ence Wurdig, Dorothy Raymond and the Lyric trio consisting of Wurdig. LaValle and Broderick.

PARKER (Painless Parker) Va Bakery 7 I 7 .4 L Its Human Costs" Chapter IV. We Have thought so far of the money-cost of dentistry. We shall now think of its human costs. : 1 - A human cost is a cost of human energy in work, worry, fatigue, or pain. Dentistry is costly-in this sense, both for the dentist and the ..patient.-- . . ;" ; - - . The, Mentis! wEci works alone, world long m,m, v .u i. au uiica a no ougnc xo, on, - i . vacations. He is always afraid some other dentist might steal ms clients. He is his own business manager. To the fatigue of work is added business worry. t He fa timid and cautions. He is afraid to make experiment, and devise new and better method, of work. The slightest wind may blow down his little tabernacle. ' . The fear of losing; trade! a heary hnmaa cost It checks fre R"owth of his character and the expansion of his cre ative ability. , ..r-.:.r:r:w. V-V:"; The dentist riif works in I'm big organization is free from such anxieties. The business he is affiliated with is stable and f? 2l,.ome 14 guaranteed. He works with an undis turbed mind. He gets more rest - He works In teams with other dentists; Art and science nourish best in congenial company. Dentists working together encourage, instruct, praise and criticise one another. . .Ty compete with one another In excellence of workman snip. But they are' free , from the pangs of sordid trade jeal ousy. f m I think I have done a service to the profes sion of dentistry and to the publicby showing how to organize dentistry on a nation-wide scale. Under the E. Parker System the hu man cost of dentistry has been reduced through - " ; - the ; co-operation of - dentists. Ud- to-date dentistry is performed foe most reasonable prices. aa 'i ' - i . . i Pauileco Parker Dcntbt i 326 Washington SL, Corner Sixth IS THE BESf rr BUY THE 51k SIZE AMD SAVE MONEY JEvery Caii Guaranteed Abo Packmdin 3andl-tb.
