ARMY BANDS ARE
NOW forbidden
TO LEAVE POST
Union Musicians Throughout the
Country at Last Succeed in
Winning Their Fight

Members of the Bridgeport Musical
Union are exulting over the action OF
the Sixty-first Congress a couple Of
days ago, which passed an act, includ-
ed in which was a clause prohibiting
regular army bands from leaving their
respective posts and competing with
civilian bands.
To gain this end the musicians affil-
lated with the American Federation
Of Musicians have been working for
years. Every session Of Congress has
received it's protests from the musical
men from all over the country against
the practice In vogue UP to last week.
where army bands left their pos.s and
competed successfully with civilian
bands
Army bands have ever been popu-
lar. not only because constant prac-
tice made chem capable and able to
produce excellent music. but the very
fact that they wore the uniform and
were in the service Of Uncle Sam sur
rounded them with that martial air
which has ever been popular
The action Of Congress will be a
blow to the army bands for up to The
present time they have been able to
realize a comfortable income from
their outside work. Besides being
paid, clothed. fed and kept by Uncle
Sam for their services upon the parade
grounds and in front of the officers
quarters. they have utilized spare mo-
mems to leave their posts, under Off
cial sanction. and pick up a few extra
dollars every week

PAvLOvA ON GRACE.

Dear American ladies, never stand
with your weight evenly divided,
your heels together, and your shoul-
ders squared. That is, never stand in
this position unless you wish to look
like German officer On parade. A
woman's body as she stands in a
drawing-rooom, or pauses to speak to
a friend, should always be relaxed.
call all the great Greek statuary to
bear witness that what I say is so.
Remember that charming broken line
on the left side of the Venus de Milo
the long. graceful sweep of the right
side. That is the ideal Of what
mean. Always allow the weight Of
the body to rest more on one foot
than On the other. Have the foot
which is not bearing the weight light
~ touching the ground; after all, it
is but balancing the body. Allow the
entire side Of the torso to relax with
the foot and limb which is Sinking
the burden. That lets the hip and
the shoulder down, throws up slight
ly and charmingly the hip and shoul-
der supporting the weight. The at
titude is graceful, natural, altogether

Sin THE THEATRES
POLLS

Lillian Herlein, who sets the styles
In gowns for women of the vaudeville
stage. heads the bill at Polls this
week,and while the audience, especial
ly the feminine end of it, goes into
raptures over the splendid costumes,
there is quite a bit of rapture left for
the splendid vocal mum bers she offers,
four Of them, each radically different
from the other, and the quartet of
them giving the prima donna a splen-
did opportunity to show her versa
tility. Miss Herlein is distinctive in
her work. and for that reason man
ayers in booking the act insist on the
same songs, but give her carte blanche
in thu selection Of her gowns. The
special feature of the bill this week is
the appearance Of Harry Beresford. a
decidedly capable character actor, as
sisted by Patty Allison and a most
competent company, presenting the
pastel Of East Side life, '23 Mulberry
Bend" delightful commingling Of
humor, pathos and philosophy. The
act bids fair to become one of the most
popular in vaudeville, and the work
of Mr.. Beresford is especially COM
mendable. while Patty Allison's clever
ness has never been disputed. Budd-
has Blackboard adds another to the
list of mysteries that vaudeville has
offered, and the spectacle Of a black
board answering itself questions is one
that must surely BATTLE any one. Pro-
lessor Heinemann, who is the inventor
of the board. goes to extremes to show
that there are no wires or anything Of
that sort, and one can form his own
opinion as to how the thing is done

there is no dancing act in vaudeville
today which can begin to compare
with that shown this. week by Moffett
and Clare. Two singing and dancing
numbers of widely varying type and
yet most artistic precede the famous
"Whirlwind Waltz" dancing special
ty which has whirled this young couple
when their Poll contracts have ex-
pired. The act is a big hit at each
performance and proves that vaude-
Vile performers who adhere to the
refined sort Of act will win out in the
end and stay popular longer than the
other sort. James Kelly and Anna
Kent offer a snappy, quick moving

singing. excellent comedy, superb
dancing and showmanship all the way,

THURSDAY WILL Be FIELD
DAY FOR RAILROAD Men
AT THE STATE CAPITOL
Many Measures of Interest to
Trainmen, Including a Hear
ing Before the Railroad
Commission

Hartford, March S6Thursday might
well be termed railroad mems day at
the Capitol. A hearing is to be given
by the railroad commission at II a. m.
to consider what shall constitute a
definite number of brakemen on
freight and passenger trains. and a
strenuous session will no doubt take
place. as 1t is understood the official
force have been preparing for a num-
Der Of days. That more men to per-
form the duties required on long pas
senger trains is necessary for proper
protection to the public no one who
has occasion to travel these times
should doubt.
Where the railroad men claim they
are suffering most from insufficient
braicemen Is on long freight trains
running through the night In all kinds
of stormy weather. stopping to switch
in and out cars. and only two brake
men to most Of the crews.
It is contended a conductor Of these
freight trains with sometimes as high
as seventy cars is often sent out with
inexperienced men. and II this is
proven surely some attention ought to
be given this subject by many ambit-
these days. With only two brakemen
to properly protect his train. and do
switching. the conductor is many times
forced to do all the work alone. that
IS, Wnen necessary TO nag MS tram IN
both directions.
More men are needed on the switch
ing engines to properly perform the
work of constructing trains. and many
times serious damage to freight might
be avoided if more brakemen were
provided to do the work.
The hearing on the public utilities
bill before the Judiciary committee is
assigned for p. m, and the railway
brotherhoods have the floor first. This
is very unique in that the organiza-
tons are opposed to the creation Of
commission and are cooperating with
the railroads in trying to defeat the
measure.
Railroad men from all parts of the
State are preparing to attend. and con-
ductors and brakemen from railroads
in New York State will be on hand to
relate their experience with public ger
vice commission inspectors in the per-
Torrance Of their work
