"Everybody" Gets
 Heany Reception
Morality Play Pleases POli Audi ences = Bert Fitzgibbon and
 Merrill & Otto Also Make

A morality sketch called s'Every. body is being presented as the head liner at Poli's this week. The Ben Greet players started the fad for mor- ality plays by present revivine
 fEveryman" Then "Everywoman' by the late Walter Browne was pro- duced in New York. The sketch al Poli's is along the same lines. In stead of naming the characters Jack Dalton Or Dolly Gray it calls them Work, Honesty, Pleasure and Luck The principal character is Everybody The sketch teaches a good lesson by impresSing upon the audience the. fact that work and honesty bring fortune and that pleasure will get you if you don't watch out. This type of produc- tiOn is rather unusual in vaudeville and the audience applauded heartily at the finish.
 Bert Fitzgibbons was the hit of the bill. He walks on the stage in a costume that would be appropriate for sitting ashes and imediately sets the ball of laughter rolling Fitzgibbon is a natural comedian. He jolliea himself, the audience and Prof. Os- car Berg, the orchestra leader There were several good parodies including ''Soldier Boy" That Mysterious Rag and Under the Yum Yum Tree.''
 "After the Shower was greeted with favor and Lola Merrill and Frank Otto made individual hits. They have some snappy dialogue and sing couple of good songs. A grace ful dance in which Miss Merrill gave a generous display of Angeries was received with enthusiasm.
 Milo Belden Beldon & Go. kept the folks laughing with their comedy 'Oh Doctor" The adventures of a young actor who pretends to be sick and persuades an actor friend to imper- senate doctor in make funny conn., plications when the sister of the al- legged sick man enters upon the scene and begins to suspect things. The merriment was fast and furious.
 One of the best blackface acts seen here lately is given by Stuart and Marshall Their songs That Was Me- and Mot If See You First" were we'll sung and their eccentric dancing also pleased. These boys could make good in better place on the bill.
 The Nettie Carroll troupe of tight wire experts perform many thrilling tricks. The stunt of balancing a ta- ble and chairs on the wire and then having two performers seat them selves while the third acted as wait CT, proved novel.
 Yankee and Dixie, two clever dogs that had been we'll trained, went through their paces to the delight of the audience.

Are we to be startled when the engineers report the probable cost of the enterprise as a whole or in part? If the whole chain were to be constructed at once which is more than any reasonable waterways man asks or expects-and the cost were fixed at $1O0, 900, ,O00-that would be only half the sum that has already been spent upon the Missouri, with it's 4,300,0 900 tons of commerce. It is only one-half what has been pledg- ed to the Mississippi system to com plete nine-foot channel from the Lakes to the Gulf. It is only thirty seven millions more than Congress and the President have endorsed over to the Ohio River for a nine-foot depth from Pittsburgh to Cairo and it is only one-fourth of the actual construction cost, to say nothing of the tremendous maintenance cost of the Panama Ca nal

MARGARpT ELLINGTON

Margaret Ellington will be the at frAotion at the Park Theatre tomorrow might, presenting for the first time
 here a new play by Charles Kenyon play MT. Kenyon has provided for her StarrinE vehicle this season Miss H.
 1Ington concluded the opportunities af- ,forded in the. principal role present greater scope for her talen&s than she found In any previous play she has .Thief'', in which she first established lherself, as star of more than ordin- fary> importance. It ts said to be strik- AnR in character delineRtion and to bossess many humorous lines and Sit Fuations.
 'Kindling" has as it's central figure slMagg1e Schultz, an intelligent though lnneducated young woman. type common enough in the tenement dis .trict of the lower East Side, New jNork- Maggie is the wife of steve !dcre She finds she Is to become a mother, and, being at heart good woman, she becomes obessed, as aWo-
 men in that condition are certain to be, with one fixed idea-her baby will ibe born into a shameful world. where physical we'll being is impossible, and she is given the idea of Wyoming in exchange for the city, the prair1es in stead of the purlieus; and to achieve that end she steals from the prattling, futile woman whose wealth is derived from the abominable shacks which house the wife and her kind. Mag teie's husband is one of those unfc . tfunate poor men who read and think. rHe believes it is a sin-and it really as-for people to have children when they cannot give their offspringsi an leven chance for life, and because of this the wife falls to tell him what is in store.
 She steals diamond brooch in or der to obtain the money to go to Myoming-but she also steals baby ribbons and silver mugs and dainty trapesings for babies, just as any phy- eician will tell you any woman would likely do if she could not get them otherwise, and she is found out.
 Such is the story as 1t leads up to even more expressing situations. 1t ss story that serves to introduce to the stage new types, new emotions and fresh ideas; 1t serves as another com bat between being good and being right.

DOES BRYAN WANT CLARK AND UNDERWOOD TO FIGHT

Washington, Nov. 2s.-Democratic party leaders here. to-day, see in the criticisms of Speaker Clark, in the Commoner, an attempt by William J. Bryan to force fight between Clark and Underwood. Bryan's assertions that, since he became speaker, Clark has not displayed those qualities of leadership that brought him to the front" are believed to be a slap at the Missourian's plan of allowing Under wood to assume much of the activ- ity that was formerly displayed by the Speaker. Bryan's enmity toward Un- derwood is an accepted fact
