COX AND FISK If you have been promising yourself and friends a treat, here is your chance as the United theatre has arranged an exceptionally fine program of vaudeville and pictures for Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Cox and Fisk will present a musical number of high-class entertainment. They have a good line of comedy and you will hear the latest songs and musical numbers; also, selections on the banjo and saxophone. On the screen will be seen Elliot Dexter in "By Divine Right." This is considered Mr. Dexter's best picture. The story is highly melodramatic, being adapted from the novel, "The Way Men Love," by Adam Hull Shirk in such a manner as to compound cumulative suspense leading to a climax of extraordinary power. The plot of "By Divine Right" is unusually strong. In fact, at a private screening in New York, four detectives sat watching the unfolding of the plot with interest, speculating upon the outcome. Only one of these highly trained solvers of mystery came near the final outcome of the plot. All were agreeably surprised at the end and declared "By Divine Right" to be replete with thrills, action, and suspense. Mr. Dexter is ably assisted by Andres Randolf, Jeanie Carpenter, DeWitt C. Jennings, Grace Sariyle and Mildred Harris. Last, but not by any means least, will be seen Larry Semon in his very latest comedy, a riot of laughs, "Horseshoes." His antics will fairly make you scream; and there is nothing that leaves that satisfied feeling with a person like a good hearty laugh.

Walsh, who is making a tour of the football camps.) NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 22. Rodin probably didn't know whether he had a masterpiece or a gob of mud when he began to UNKNOWN WHETHER CHAMP or CHUMP (This is the second of a series of articles dealing with the big football teams of the country, written by Davis J. Walsh, who is making a tour of the football camps. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 22. Rodin probably didn't know whether he had a masterpiece or a gob of mud when he began to model the immortal gentleman who was destined to spend the rest of his existence in meditation. Tad Jones, head coach of the Yale football team, is pleased to admit that he and Rodin have something in common. Tad is giving an earnest try to the matter of modeling a Yale team after the manner of its immediate predecessor, but the clay is still a trifle damp, the lines are somewhat blurred and somewhat in need of a shave and the general contour is reminiscent of unfinished worsted. Frankly, Tad Jones doesn't know whether he has another champ or another chump. He has both in his varied career at dear old Yale University and it is getting so that he has difficulty in recognizing the difference at this early stage of the proceedings. "Tell you all about it: it's this way" quote he. "We are at the great divide. From this point on we either win or we lose. You see how it is." The writer nodded sagely. He saw. What Mr. Jones meant was that Yale would have a good season if it won or vice versa, mostly versus. But he needs must know more in spite of the fact that a squod undercoaches sat at the same table and listened intently to his every syllable. Was Yale as far advanced now as it was at a corresponding period last year. No, it seemed not Why? Well, you see, Yale had several inexperienced youths, namely, Sturhahn and Wortham, guards, and Root, a tackle, who had yet to learn what it was that took all of the fun out of fundamentals. But in spite of the fact that he talked down everything, Jones gave the impression that he was more or less enamored of his young men, taken in general. The writer got this idea when in trying to establish a point, he asked if it were not true that Dartmouth outplayed Yale on Saturday last. "No, it isn't," replied our Mr. Jones in his take it or leave it way. "We marched 50 yards for our first touchdown which may give you an idea of how our attack was working; for the defense, Dartmouth twice had the ball on the 20-yard line, with a first down and couldn't gain. The second time a forward bound off scene from Little Johnny Jones." ANOTHER GREAT VAUDEVILLE BILL Tomorrow's bill at the California is more than just vauderville and pictures. First we have five big acts right off the big time circuits, each of which are stars in their own particular line. "Chic the Wonder Dog" is presented by Ben Carroll who has proved that a dog possesses a human brain. Chic's impersonation of a drunk is by far the funniest laugh provoker seen in vauderville this season. Billy Broad in his "Timely Talks on Ticklish Subjects" introduces one of the funniest versions of the high cost of living you have ever listened to. His dissertation on disarmament, prominent men and general politics will keep you in an uproar. The Gordon Brothers Trio in "Harmonists Supreme" offer a special presentation of popular and classical songs. All the members of this world famous trio have served their apprenticeship in Grand Opera and Vaudeville patrons are sure in store for a great treat when you hear them. The Arthur Van Trio, late stars from "Bringing Up Father" present comedy and song. This unusual trio offer a wealth of new material in a most unique manner.

It is a fashion revue with beautiful costumes and scenery. The dance numbers are little short of being marvelous, especially the wonderful scene from Little Johnny Jones.
