A great comedy bill, sprinkled with dancing and ?ood singing, are combined In the same I offering. In the booking for the Ma- , jeptlc for the next week or so are a j number of choice Keith plums that it ; will be well to bear in mind, for their engagement here 'will not want to be i overlooked. The first of these will be : the headliner of the bill for the first I half of next week. It will be a return | of "The Fashion Shop," easily the best j musical comedy of the season. "The Betting Betties," a delightful one-act musical comedy, will head the bill for the last half of the week.—Advertise ment. \VI 1,1,1 AM S. HART I> "THE DIS CIPLE," AND HALE HAMILTON IN "HER PAINTED HEIIU," AT THE COLONIAL Of unusual dramatic Importance is the great Triangle play, "The Disciple," starring William S. Hart at the head of a notable cast. This play will be on view for the last time at the Colonial to-day. The comedy part of the same program is an uproarously funny Key stone two-reeler called "Her Painted Hero." A thrilling historical drama of early days in Mexico, "Martyrs of the Alamo," will be the dramatic effort of the Triangle program that will be un covered at the Colonial to-morrow. The I play was made under the personal su | pervlsion of D. W. Griffith, which, of course, speaks volumes for its excel ! lence. The leading role will be plaved Iby Sam De Grasse, who appears as Silent Smith, one of the heroes of the j gallant but hopeless fight In the Alamo | fort. Juantta Hahson plays a very I clever leading female role. "Saved By | Wireless." a Mack Sennett thriller, that I Is laughable in parts and wonderfully thrilling and exciting in others, will be a part of the same program.—Adver tisement. : ROBERT B.

Ford Peace Party Is Detained at Kirkwall Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, Dec. 15. The steamship Oscar 11, having on board the Ford peace party, arrived here early to-day. Kirkwall is the port into which most transatlantic vessesl which are held up for search by the British authori ties are taken. The Oscar II was destined for Christlania and her ar rival at Kirkwall probably means she Is being detained by the British. A I.ondon dispatch last night said it was hardly likely the steamship would Vie taken to Kirkwall, as she had no cargo aboard. It was inti mated that, the government, following the policy recently outlined in the house of commons, would hardly take steps whtch would bring the Ford party any nearer the English coast than was necessary.

J. Wilson Swartz, attorney for the Borough of Wormleysburg and citi zens, and J. W. Wetzel, ased the view ers to defer making a report to the Court until early in February. It is probably attorneys for both sides will get together soon and arrange a settle ment. The viewers were informed that $250 had been offered to pay the cost of re pairs and keep Park avenue In good shape, until the new roads were com pleted, and that the possibility of a burden on feast Pennsboro township would be removed.

Banner on the legality of the will made by Attorney Ed. M. Haldeman several months be fore his death. Haldeman bequeathed his farm, which covers a large part of the island opposite Inglenook, to Theodore H. Moltz, a schoolboy friend. Mrs. Mary R. Armstrong, a sister of the lawyer, questioned the legality of the will on the ground that her brother was not sufficiently strong mentally to make a -vill at the time. Dr. Thomas S. Blair, one of the alienists heard to-day, attributed Haldeman's condition to his use of "bromidia," a patent medicine which contained large quantities of chloral. Philadelphia nn<! Return (2.50.

WITH A!V AM.- STAII CAST, AT THE REGENT TO DAY AJiD TOMORROW "The Chorus Lady" is one of the most popular contributions ever made to the Paramount Program by the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Co., which appears at the Regent to-day and to-morrow with an all-star cast. It is a plcturlza tlon of James Forbes' comedy of stage life of to-day. It is a play which lends Itself excellently to pleturlzatlon. The frequent and compelling Incidents which lead to the dramatic climaxes are especially suited to the photodrama Patricia O'Brlan, the brave little chorus girl, who Is quick of tongue and big of heart, is represented In splendid fash lon. Her sister, Nora O'Brlan. who In sisted upon going on the stage despite Patricia's warnings, furnishes a human example to thousands of girls through out the world. The story of life behind the footlights, across which voung wo men smile, is universal in its appeal. The glimpse behind the curtain, which hides the world of powder and rouge. Is a faithful represenatlon of a side of life that never fails to Interest.—Ad vertisement. Truly goodness, purity and durabil ity is characteristic in the Becker & Sons' Piano.
