jseum tonight in "Peggy" a Trl
j angle Fine Arts production which 1
j almost a national household word
j For years readers of news paper
i and magazines have all kinds o
isto'ies furnished them about Hiili<

! of a northern production. The stor.v
is si good one suited for Hart and
the cast was also good Including
j Enid Markey and George Fisher.
llel?n Holmes in another episode ol
: "The Girl and the Game" thrilled
as isual. Same bill tonight.
At the Orphenm.
T sere is a very interesting three
reel feature at the Orpheum on the
program which started last night
entitled "Who Knows." There are
? thre.' good characters in it and the
; plot is a new one.
The other feature of the Or
pltei m's bi'.I last night and which
Ms on again tonight is a comedy, an
i Essauay, "The Woman Hater" whiclt
shows Edna Mayo and Henry Wal
! tiiall in a now line of business. It
j is bard to connect Walthall with
'anything of a light vein but he
gets away with it O. K.
Paia:e Ready to Open.
With the installation of a few
; mort seats, the general cleaning up,
I the Palace theatre will be ready .to
open tomorrow night and the first
show will start at 7 o'clock. Last
night the operators tested out the
I machines, projected several reels
and the curtain proved most satis
? factory. All of the interior finish
ing is completed and everything is
prae ically ready for the opening.
A go>d bill has been provided for the
curtain raiser of the Palace. Doug
las Fairbanks and Seena Owen ap
pear ng in the western production
"Tin- Lamb" and the comedy end of
the hill being "My Valet" with Ray
mond Hitchcock and Mable Norman
as Hie stars.
At the Douglas Theatres.
"7 he Middleman," a romantic
production in five most interesting
acts, was the bill at the Douglas
Lyric last night. Albert Chevalier
lis tie star.
At the Douglas Orpheum "The
Hero of Submarine D-2" proved a
real lit. There is action all the way
i through and especially near the
! close when interest centers on the
abiltiy of the American traitor to
blow up the American fleet. \Ve see
soldiers, sailors, warships and sub
mariies in quick action. The plot
is good, and the company excellent.
Coming Attractions.
Vivian Martin in "Merely Mary
Ann,' a most delightful comedy will
be t te next attraction at the Or
phcu-n and Victor Moore in "Chim
; trie Fadden Out West" will be the
comedy attraction coming to the
Dream.
Get (Jood Film?Busted.
Douglas Fairbanks and Charles
Chuplln in one film! Imagine the
.? linos of patrons wrapping around
. and around the playhouses where the
. picture was on view. And yet there
3 is such a film, and this is the way
I, this ultimate in picture comedy was
s attained:
( Fairbanks Douglas was enacting a
e scene of "The MatrimaniaC" across
11 the street from Charlie Chaplin's
; studio down in California. Charlie
1 was cutting capers in front of the
; j camera when lie spied Fairbanks.
. Telling his director to wait a min
. utc, Chaplin rushed into the street
in his grotesque makeup and sat
down go the curb to watch his
confrere.
"Now make me laugh, Doug," he
said. "I'll be your audience."
\ j Fairbanks entered into the spir
it of the occasion and soon he and
Chaplin were romping together, un
consciously reeling off a skit that it
' would take nearly all the money
? in the motion picture business to
buy. Although the Triangle-Fine
Arts cameraman continued cranking
his machine, the hard-hearted di
rector ordered the scene deleted as
entirely, irrevelant to the story in
hand.
Both Fairbanks and Chaplin, how
ever, insisted on having prints de
veloped to add to their private col
lections.

EMPIRE'S SPORTING DOPE |
RING?MAT AND GENERAL ITEMS
+~?-?r ?...1.1. .? : 5 ? ?rr;*
Moratt-Fulton Go Announced.
Fred Fulton, the Rochester, Minn.,
heavyweight announces that he will
meet Frank Moran in a forty-round
match at Havana, Cuba, early in
February. Fulton made the an
nouncement upon receipt of a tel
egram from his manager, Frank
Force, of Minneapolis, Baying that
Moran's manager, Ike Dorgan, had
offered the bout on a $G,000 guar
antee, with $1,000 training expens
es and two round trip tickets. Ful
ton declared thnt he expects to beat
Moran and hold Jess Wlllard to
a promise of a match on that con
dition.
Sam Langford Wins.
Sam Langford, of Boston, knocked
out Jim Johnson, of New York, in
the twelfth round of a boxing con
test in St. IxhiIs last Friday. The
men had thirty seconds more to
go. Johnson weighed 225 pounds
and Langford 191.
Parke Davis Re-elected.
. Pnrke II. Davis has been reelect
Jcd to represent Princeton University
on the football rules committee.
Bantam Champ to Try Again.
Johnny Coulon, the ex-bantam
champ, who lost his title to Kid
Williams several seasons ago, i3
planning to return to active fighting
and under the direction of Nate
Lewis, Charley White's manager,
he will try to regain the form he
had before he lost his belt.
Johnny for some time has noticed
the ease with which Ad Wolgast
has been raking in the nickels. For
an old chap long since thought to
he on the shelf, WolgaBt hns been
making a handsome income. Coulon
believes that if Wolgast can do so
well, there's no reason why he
can't do it himself.
Another item thnt oncouragesi
Johnny is the present prosperity l
of bantamweights and their popular-!
Ity. The bantam class has been
getting more attention and having
a greater d.nnand than for quite a
while. The situation Just now is
very pleasing to bantam fighters
and Coulon means to step in and
get his share.
Coulon has been in first-class1
shape for over a year now and,
Jince training he has had part in
five or six bouts on the Coast. Low
is plans to work Coulon for a while
n six and ten-round fights and later
natch him in a twenty-round light
vith Pete Herman or Johnny Ertle.
Bleacher Seats to Be Abolished.
Permanent abolition of the bloach
ir seat?the 25-cent seat?is fore
cen in the action of the National
,caguc favoring a reduction of the
itimber of seats in the bleacher
ection of the baseball grandstand
o a "minimum." The club owners
re desirous of doing away entirely
vitli the 25-cent seats, it is ex
plained, but in the cities where
hey have been a fixture for years
he proposed ehange will have to
e made gradually.
President Ebbets of the Brooklyn
lub is father of the movement to
educe the cheap scats to a minimum
nd it is strongly favored by all the
lub owners. He claimed that if
omething was not done to increase
evenue and cut down expenses the
uslnes8 of operating baseball clubs
?ould become a losing proposition.
Before adjournment In New York
ast week the magnates of the Na
ional League look further action
or a curtailment in operating cx
enses by recommending unanimous
y a retrenchment in players' sal
ries. The salary list of more than
ne of the National League clubs
ist season exceeded $100,000 and
be probable reduction may bo esti
latcd by the statement of one club
wner who said that he expected to
ut his salary list by at least one
fth.
Changes in the rules governing
te world's series, as proposed by
ugust Herrmann and President
ener were recommended by the
?ague.
These include tho provisions, that
io players of tho two teams cmnpet-,
ig in the series receive a stlpu-1 ^
luted amount and that a percent
age of the receipts be divided among
the players on the other clubs fin
ishing in the first division of eacli
league. By this plan. It in claimed
will be stimulated among the second
division clubs in their efforts to
finish "within the money." After
the plan Is drawn up in definite
form it will be submitted for ap
proval at a meeting of the two
leagues. This action probably will
be taken in February.
Promoter Wants Ben Leonard
to Fifjht Mitchell.
John Wagner, Los Angeles fight
promoter, offers a guarantee of
$5,000 to Billy Mitchell, manager
of Ritchie Mitchell of Milwaukee,
if the latter would sign a contract
! to meet Benny Leonard of New
York in Venice for a lightweight
championelimination bout. Wagner
wired terms to Leonard at New
York.
There never will be a fight be
j tween Willard and Carpcnticr. Hav
ing consulted Noah Webster, there
is a difference between a fight and
. a massacre.
Police Called to Keep Order at
Cue Match.
In one respect, at least, the
match between George Moore and
Hugh Teal in Toledo recentlyt/ for
the three-cushion blllard champion- J
ship, was unique. Moore won the
title, but he pained the coveted lion- |
or only after the police had been i
vailed in during the last night of'
Che play. This is probably the first
time in billiard history that the
o....cefs of the law tooh it upon
themselves to interfere in a game
of the green table.
ileal was quite the popular idol
in Toledo, and, when it became evi
dent thnt Moore was liable to wrest
the honors from him, there was a
demonstration that would have tried
the nerves of a man Icbs cool in
flaying for a championship than
Moore.
Everything possible was done to
upset the play of the New Yorker,
and it became so bad on the second
night that those In charge of the
contest decided that the police were
a necessary adjunct to the'match in
the closing stages.
