dancing and all 'round eitertainment
than have been revealed on the stage
in a long time. For "Oh, Look!" is
coming here direct from its Chicago
run, with the entire original Broad-
way cast, headed by the wonderful
Dolly Sisters and the inimitable Har-
ry Fox, and including such popular
favorites as Charles Lane, Hugh
Cameron, Edward Ames, , Louis
Haines Hal VanRensselaer, Adelaide
Keim, Selma Magnusson, Edward Po-
land. Lewis Sealy and a host of oth-
ers, to say nothing of the most at-
tractive chorus of young and pretty
girls ever gathered on a single stage.
It is hardly necessary to dwell. on
the merits of the featured players-
the Dolly Sisters and Harry Fox. Al-
though they are exclusive Broadway
stars and seldom permitted to leave
New York, their reputations have
been heralded far and wide by the
newspapers and magazines, as well
as visitors to the metropolis, and ev-
eryone knows that to see and hear
them is to enjoy a rare treat. In
"Oh, Look!" they have an opportu-
nity to appear at their best, and
whether it is singing, dancing or fun-
making, their every minute on t he
stage is joyous satisfaction to the
audience.
"Oh, Look!' 'was written by James
Montgomery, whose basic farce is one
of refreshing youth, appealing ro-
mance and high finance. Lyrics have
been added by Joseph McCarthy, while
Harry Carrol has cqntributed such
beautiful music as "I'm Always Chas-
ing Rainbows," "A Kiss for Cinderel-
la," Typical Topical Tunes," "You're
Absolutely Wonderful, "Dolly Twin-
kle,' and a dozen other big song hits.
AT THE MAJESTIC
From society dramas to photoplays
of the road, is only an ordinary step
for a screen star of the ability of
Douglas Fairbanks and as a result of
this versatility, the athletic and smil-
ing Artcraft star will be seen in the
role of a tramp in his newest photo-
play, "He Comes Up Smiling,' which
will be displayed at the Majestic the-
ater today and tomorrow and Tues-
day.
The scenario was , written by
Frances Marion, from the famous
stage comedy by Byron Ongley and
Emile Mytray, which in turn Was
based upon the celebrated novel by
Charles Sherman, published by Bobbs,
Merrill Co. Mr. Fairbanks appeared
in the original cast When the play
was produced at the Liberty theater,
New York City, on September 16,
1514, where it ran for more than
three months to big business, after-
wards going on the road.
In the role of Jerity Martin, "The
Watermelon," Mr. Fairbanks has de-
reloped a real character, filled with
such whimsicalities that it fairly bris-
tles with fun. The Fairbanksian smile
and athletics are in evidence every
instant and it is said the attention of
the audience does not lag for an in-
stant from the' time when Jerry is
seen chasing a canary, until the fin-
al scene when he takes his pretty lit-
tle Billy to his heart.
The cast includes a long list of
poular screen favorites, such as Mar-
Fairbanks
jorie Daw, Kathleen Kirkham, Frank
Campeau, Herbert Standing, Albert
McQuarrie and Bull Montana. The
strong love interest, the exciting
scenes and novel, nd ludicrous sit-
uations, doubtless will make this one
of Mr: Fairbanks' most acceptable
photoplays.

Mae Marsh's wistful appeal finds
remarkable scope in the many ab-
sorbing situations of her latest pic-
ture, "Hidden Fires," which will be
shown at the Arcade today and to-
morrow. For the first time in her
career, Miss Marsh portrays a dual
role. Certain it is that no other pho-
toplay in which "the whim girl of the
screen" has appeared has given her
so wide a range to demonstrate her
charm.
Making others happy, unmindful of
the cost to herself, is an established
Mae Marsh trait. She is joyous when
bringing joy to people less fortunate
than herself. This virtue she carries
to the screen in "Hidden Fires."
There will also be another one of
those "Smiling Bill" Parsons' com-
edies, called "Dad's Knockout," and
it sure is a knockout.
Xmas Harbingers
begin to Appear
Have we forgotten that Christmas
is on the way? In the rush of more
important events there seems to be
no mention of it. Yet one who reads
the signs of the times cannot have
failed to. notice:
F'r instance:
1. Snow.
2. Christmas cards in State street
windows.
3. Dolls and hobby-horses in Main
street windows.
4. Increase in the number of pas-
sengers over the rocky-read to De-
troit on Saturdays.
5. More letters to aunts and un-
cles.
6.Less money for sodas.
AMERICA MUST STILL SAVE
FOOD FOR STARVING WORLD
Lansing, Nov. 30.-Mr. Prescott, the
director of publicity for Michigan,
f the United States Food adminis-
tration, issued a proclamation, urg-
ing that people continue the con-
servation of food. He says that the
signing of the peace treaty will not
bring about the end of the food reg-
ulations in the United States, at least
for some time.
It is the duty of America as a
Christian country to conserve her
own food, that people all over the
world may live during the hard win-
ter that faces them. Every possible
means will be used to urge the peo-
ple to do their duty. A message from
Mr. Hoover will be read from all pul-
pits December 1. Wednesday the
women's clubs all over the country
will take up the feature. Friday there
will be special exercises in all the
schools, to persuade the children to
conserve.
From time to time the Food Ad-
ministration of Michigan will make
appeals to the people of this state
for the saving of the food. There is
no doubt whatever that the people
will meet the appeals.

HAUFSTATER GETS
NAME ON TROPHY'
Haufstater, '20, won the right to
have his name engraved on the Harp-'
ham trophy, as the result of taking
first place in the annual five mile
cross country race held yesterday.
With the weather cold, and a strong
wind blowing, together with the sun
shining, making the course slippery,
the race was not as fast as in the
past. Haufstater's time was 28:48:3.
Sedgwick, captain of the team and
holder of the record for the course
followed 10 feet behind. Everett took
third place.
Sedgwick might have made a bet-
ter showing but he ran the race, fol-
lowing a rather severe illness from
which he recovered a few days ago.
His record for the course is 27:29.
Thirteen men started the race, all
finishing. The first three will get
cups, while the first six will be
awarded jerseys by the Athletic as-
sociation.
Buehl, who finished fourth, proved
the sensation of the race when he
passed three men during the last two
miles of the race. He had fallen be-
hind as the result of a cramp. All
of the men give promises of better
work.
TelephoneRates Ordered Boosted
Washington, Nov. 30. - Increased
wages for telephone employes and in-
creased rates for the companies, to
take effect Jan. 1 were allowed by'
Postmaster General Burleson, accord-I
ing to information given the manager
of the Detroit exchange yesterday.

RELIEF IN DEMOBILIZATION
The mustering out of the S. A. T.
C. is welcomed by most of the mer-
chants. A prominent State street
haberdasher says, "Although the
army increased our sales the increase
in the cost of carrying on our busi-
ness is more than proportional." This
increase is caused by the necessity
of frequent telegraphing and the
sending in of different orders sepa-

"We had all of our regular school
books ordered and many of them had
arrived before we received notice of
what books the S. A. T. C. was going
to use," says one of the prominent
booksellers, "and many of them are
still on our shelves." In the demobili-
zation of the army he sees the hope
of disposing of these immediately.

TO SAVE A WEALTHY
WOMAN'S LIFE--
A poor news-stand girl
takes the place of the mis-
sing heiress she resembles.
Then come luxuries, ad-
venture, romance, black-
mail, the discovery of the
daughter, the reparation
of a great' wrong and the
kind of a story that mil-
lions like.
MAE MARSH
Washington, Nov. 30.-Officers of the
navy, of commissioned or warrant
rank, in the Naval ReserveForce,
now holding temporary positions, will
probably be given a chance to be-
come permanent officers, in the line
or staff in the regular navy, accord-
ing to the steps taken today by the
bureau of navigation.
The bureau also stated that officers
serving on ships for the purpose of
training, or those awaiting training
afloat, who are graduates of officers'
material schools, should finish their
courses. Their releases from active
duty will not be considered, except
for urgent reasons.
