The Republican also promises there

to Democrats to help:

over Night which comes to the
Grand Opera House soon.
One Of the best advertisements for
the comedy is that it is absolutely
free from coarseness, and leaves a
sweet memory behind 1t,
That is why "over Night is so en-
tirely different from the so.called
comedies" of the present day. 1t is
funny without being suggestive; Its
cleanliness is perhaps Its greatest as
set. 1t is a proof positive that authors
do not have to descend to the lower
strata OF decency to create laughs.
, 1t tells the story of two college
chums on their honeymoon with
brides who had never previously met.
There is mlxup on the boat at the
start, the husband OF one goes ashore
with the bride of the other. Missing
the steamer the other bride and
groom are forced to take the steamer
trip in each others company.

English sentiment is becoming high
ly wrought UP over the conviction oil
prominent London lawyer and his
sentence by the German authorities to
three and a half years imprisonment
as spy. There seems to be inherent
improbability of the accuracy of the
charge, and the evidence appears to
have rested not little upon the testi.
mony of a Belgian. who, it is alleged
by the English newspapers, was thor.
oughly disreputable and influenced by
the brlrbe offered by the government
for spy detectors.
The onus of the complaint in Eng;
land rests upon the belief that the
conviction was reached by judicial
procedure that would not have been
permitted in an English or American
court of Justice. Rightly or wrongly
the people of England are OF the view
that an innocent man is being wrong

there is talk of a boycott of German
commodities and even of war issue,
the matter will doubtless be smooth.

George NJ. Cohan's prenomlnally

in class by itself from the stand

there is a real plot which is acted for

enough song hits in the play to en-.
