WELCOME TO KING EDWARD
 IN BERLIN
Streets Crowded at the Entrance of the English Soyereigns Great
 Banquet Tonight.
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.) 1 Berlin, Feb. 9.-king Edward of Eng land, accompanied by Queen Alexan- ara, made d triumphal entry into Berlin to-day, it being the first state visit of a British Monarch to Berlin in nearly two centuries. Royalty and common people alike joined in dem onstration of welcome and but for the slight movements of the German So- ciaiists there was no outward show of anti-English feeling.
 Many dignitar;es of state were at the station to welcome the Royal Pair.
 When the King and Queen alighted the Kaiser embraced his Royal uncle and kissed him on both cheeks. There was a show of enthusiasm in the affair which made it hard to realize that the two monarchs had been for years pit ted against each other in international politics and that they rankle with jea1- ousy King Edward kissed the hand of the Kaiser's Queen while the Ger
 man ruler raised the gloved hand of Queen Alexandra to his lips
 The route lay through the Tiergarten which was lined with German soldiers and members of the ancient guilds in their picturesque costumes. On leav- ing the Tiergarten the Monarchs reached the Brandenburg Gate where Mayor Kierschnor assisted by the al- dermen and civil officials gave them formal welcome. The royal coach then moved on.
 There was grave fear early fin the day lest a. demonstration by the So- cialists would mark the trip from the station to the Palace. Ten Socialist meetings were held previous to the Kings arrival and were dismissed just as the procession started. The Social ists by the thousands joined the crowd in the streets and there were frequent Socialistic cries sounded although no violence was attempted
 The German press is filled with news and editorials regarding the visit but there is an evident tone of restraint in them. Most of the papers express the hope that the visit will result in better feeling between the nations but several influential journals includ- ing the 2F'rankfurter Zeitung, frankly admit that it is useless to try to gloss over the actual feeling by a show of friendliness that lacks reality. Public opinion however, is not optimistic re- garding the situation. It is pointed out that the monarchs have met sev- eral tines in recent years without re- suits having been attained.
 This evening there will be a great state banquet at the Palace.

POLI's

A series of real topnotchers is pre- sented this week at Polls, embracing some of the cleverest acts in the va rietfes. Karno's famous English pan tonime, presented by fifteen speech less comedians, is the headliner and nos productions have never yet failed to make good' The "Slums of Lon don', this weeks headline attraction, is probably the most pretentious of the several productions given to the va rieties by this wizard of pantomime. The Sums is beyond question one of the greatest comedy creations ever presented in this country.
 
 Monie Mine, the dainty and charm ing English comedienne and songster, has come to this country for a, limited run, and is the added feature at the peoples playhouse this week. Bring ing with her a series of the latest English story songs and dances, and an elaborate wardrobe, the dainty chanteuse has scored a. decided hit on several circuits, coming to Polls with a record.
 Conroy, LeMaire & Co.,, presenting their side-splitting comedy creation, "A King for a Night, is a genuine laugh hit on this weeks nbill. Con roy Lemjare & Co, are simply ire sistible and they make you laugh un- til the tears come and your sides ache with shaking.
