The Rich. Foot Foremost.

Putting the right foot foremost was
an old Roman ordination originally

the supposition that the left was un-
lucky. A boy was kept at the door to
see that no N entered the house "left

Marie Cal,ill.

The most up to date Partisan and American designs executed In America will be shown In the new musical play The Boys and Betty" In which Marie Cahill will come to the Hyperion Fri day and Saturday, october 2-3. Miss Cahill Is a firm believer in everything American and has all the hats and garments of her company made here. She takes into consideration the pre- vaiing European fashions, but spends her money at home.
 The new play will be replcte with Io,el suggestions in gownlng and mil Emery. In fact every new production Manager Daniel V. Arthur makes the origin of some striking style in a hat, rutse. some novelty for women's wear. There Is no doubt that the stage sets the fashions in many things, and Miss Cahill's plays es>cially so.
 The gowns worn by the members cf the "long-skirted" chorus will be of the greatest variety, there being twenty.fo four young ladies in the or- gani2ation this year

AT THE GRAND,
"Thc Governor and the Boss" Greeted
 by a Full House.

AT PoL1's.


 Charles Mack & Co, the headliners on the Poli bill this week, made a tremendous hit at the matinee per formance yesterday afternoon. The sketch Come Back to Erin" takes one back to the old land and is certainly the cleverest act seen here SO far this season. Carlin and Otto, the old orig inal German comedians in The Battle of Bay Rum" are back again with a barrel of fun and every joke they crack on the unsuspecting audience Is orig inal and brings the laughter. Harry K. Lester. who the program says Is the biggest funmaker in vaudeville. Is all to tho good and his impersona- tions are as good as any that can pos sibly be seen here this season. He gave impersonations of all the up-to- date stars and Sam Bernard who star {. red in Nearly Hero" at tho Hyper ion last night and made big hit. had the pleasure of watching the best i'm personation of himself that was ever seen on any vaudeville stage Sam occupied a box all through the per- formsnce. Barry and Nolford are all right as far as the singing goes, but those jokes are the oldest things that ever happened. They end up their act however with little original stuff about Taft and Teddy" Roose- welt that isn't so bad after all. The Hughes trio make their biggest hit with Dreaming on the French horns. They're as good as anything that has been seen here in the musical line this season. Taken all In all the show is what the regular matineegoers on Monday afternoons would class as good.

In finding two integral numbers such
that the sum of their cubes would pro-

following series: 1-s-27-e4- 125-216-343-

then be to find two members of the
series such that their sum is Just equal
