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.

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. TEMPORARY OFFICERS IN NATY MAY WIN PERMANENT BERTHS 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.

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- Present The Brightest, Smartest and Cleverest of all Musical Comedy Hits rately.
