MUNICIPAL THEATRE, HASTINGS

One of Mary Robert’s Rinehart’s famous siih-dcb. stories, “Bab’s Burglar” from the Saturday Evening Post is the chief feature on to-night’s change at this theatre.

Her □no ray of hope is her kindly father, who thoroughly understands the wild outbursts of his youngest daughter, and who writes her as follows the morning after the elopement episode: — “Dear Bab,—After thinking things over, I think you and I would better not say anything about last night’s mystery. But suppose you bring your car to meet me to-night at the station, and we will take a rid,', avoiding milk waggons, if possible. You might bring vonr check-book, too, and the revolver, which we had better bury in some quiet spot.—Father. “P.S. —1 have mentioned to your mother that I am thinking of buying ura a small car.” Could any father be more of a “brick” than that, especially considering the fact that Bab had thought him entirely ignorant of her purchasing the ■ar and various mishaps. For the rest if this fascinating story see the picture to-night. On the same programme wil' '>e shown a five-act Triangle feature. “Mountain Dew,” a stirring story with liiniy Margery Wilson in the leading •ole.
