the following premium on the show:
Comedy, first: scenic and costume
beauty, second: variety, third; com
edy, beauty and variety are. In fact,
the three predominating qualities in
the production.
I HITMAN.
Norma Talmadge will he the attrac

fortune has been swept away and that
Pnul Belmont, a wealthy man of the

fly fiMHal Correspondent.
KEY PORT, Dec. 21. -The Red
Cross roll call la fast nearing a close
with Key port far behind in its effort
Not half the quota of 4,#99 has been
raised, notwithstanding the fact that
the committees and teams have work
ed diligently for the success of the
drive.
Owing to illness of the chairman
of the borough, Mrs. M. Lester Terry,
the work has been somewhat hind
ered as far as her personal effort is
concerned, but her colleagues have
assisted in every possible manner, still
the quota Is not reached.
The time lias been extended until
Tuesday ovenlng in order to give those
who have not yot Joined a chance to
become members of the Red Cross.
Subscriptions were received In the

those who have not yet Joined. Ilooths
have been placed In the It. O. Wall
