PUSH CAMPAIGN FOR
CHINA MISSION FUND
ENJOYS of Presbyterians Urge
That Big Movement Be
Taken Up Immediately.

Bright days of religious tolerance
have dawned in China, and now is the
time for the Christian churches to
spread the Gospel far and wide there"
is the message which missionaries to
China are giving to the Presbyterian
churches Of the city.
. Eight noted workers in the foreign
field opened in this city today cam
paign to raise about $4,000 and to Oh
tain seventy-five more Presbyterian
missionaries They will be in the Capt.
tol four DAYS The campaign will be
made country wide.
The sum represents the amount still
to be raised of $75o,0o0 which the
Presbyterian church is to expend in
giving new educational institutions
theological schools, and other Chris
tian advantages to China. Special i'm
petus is being given to the campaign
now because the new Chinese gov
ernment is affording a religious toll
erance which permits Christian mis-
sionaries to work unhampered.
The Rev. J. c. Garrett, of Nanking,
China, will address a meeting this
afternoon under the auspices of the
Western Church in the home of the
Misses Easily. The Rev. W. II. Lingle
will speak in the Fourth Presbyterian
Church, and the Rev. Charles A. Killie
to a gathering in the church at
Washington Heights. Tonight at 8
o'clock. the Rev w. T. Locke of
Chen Chow, China, will speak in the
Northminster Church.

Without question. there is no other
city in the country in which the auto
bike can be put to better use and
thoroughly enjoyed than in Washing
ton. With its miles OF paved streets
and sidewalks, one can spin along for
hours at a time with the very least
effort One little push gives you a
start. and Off you go. Just enough
exercise to set your blood tingling
these snappy autumn days. and all the
time your lungs are breathing pure and
fresh air. That's enjoyment enough for
any girl or boy.
That the auto-bike offer is appre-
ciated is shown by the generous re-
sponse made by the school children

ATTRACTIONS M Al
 1.-THE THEATRES
THE PLAZA
(By the Plaza Press Agent, |,

When stock actors and actress can turn around and give a performance of a farce comedy, which the entire press of the city stamps as good as the or1gtnaP then those stock artists are artists in every sense of the word for farce comedy is the final word in testing the ability of stage folks. The whole theatrical profession, embrac- ing hundreds of thousands of people, contains but a small margin of cap able farceurs, so small a quantity that few stock organizations dare produce this type of play. The performance at the Plaza by the PoIi Players this week, Is in every respect, equal to the wonderful original production as play ed over a year in New York.
 There is action of the rnile-a-nnin- ute type in s'The Million'' and the capa b1e members of the big organiza- tion. gives a superb portrayal of the funny farce.
 The first act, showing the studio of Ramon Andrade is the scene of one of The artists falls heir to a million dol lars and forthwith, starts in to break up housekeeping and succeeds in wrecking the place and breaking a hundred small statues. There are. twenty three people in the cast, in c1uding Signor Araminf who played the part in the original production he is offering this week.
 We haven't the room to talk of our business here. but as a word of ad- vice to prospective patrons, buy your seats well ahead if you wish to avoid disappointment The Plaza is posi- lively almost sold out for every even ing this week and the matinee tickets are fairly being .seaten up.'

CENTURY OLD MAP
 GOOD FOR g MORE
Interesting Document Shows Partition of Estate of
 ZaChaTiah Curtis

An interesting pictorial map dis playing the partition of the estate of zacharfah Curtis. who died in Trum- bull in 1909, is now exhibited by Fred. H. Downs, who found 1t in the attic of the Downs mansion, Courtland Hill, sometime ago. The map was drawn to scale in 1909. Magnetic north is duly marked, and each parcel Of prop erty, with houses and conspicuous trees, is carefully drawn in, with ink as bright today as 1t was a century ago. The handwriting of the draughts- man is most legib1e, and his work is of the best quality. The Curtis prop erty consisted of twenty one acres on the west side of the highway in Trum- bull, a homestead in Nichols Farm containing A acres, a plot in Strat- ford called Jones Beach, containing fifteen acres, and a plot in Hunting ton, containing six acres. The value of the whole, with noveables, is given at 6,286s which is divided equally be- tween Elijah E. and James R. Curtis. The document is an interesting ex- hibit- The material is paper backed with cloth, wound on a stick. The whole thing is made to last. With care the scroll will be in good condi- ton a thousand years hence.

Fox's LYRIC THEATRE

(By the Fox. Lyric Press Agent-)
 Judging by the applause that crowd ed houses at the Lyric give to Miss Eleanor Cleveland and her associate players in .'The Deserters', which is the offering this week it looks like
 mighty good policy at times to repeat plays especially if the play selected for
 repeat can make such a hit as The Deserters
 The Deserterse as played this week at the Lyric promises to play to even bigger houses than Last season The play seems made to order for the lit tie star Miss Cleveland It has all the light and shades and 1t is only very versatile actress that could get away with the role although of course any actress coaId play it Bob Con- ness has one Of those big parts he So well handles and Guy Harrington and Margaret Lewis have also quite i'm. portant. roles. One of the comedy hits of the bill was scored by Lillian Field in the role of Molly and too much in praise cannot be said of the stage direction of Wilson Hummel for he has given it a thorough production with no detail of stage craft omitted and the thirty people in the cast SUI perb1y handled as to groupings and all else tsThe Desertere'' will be the bill twice daily all week and it is just as announced for it advances @An army play with the kick of an army mule .

EMPIRE

Last week we were greatly disap- pointed, in fact, more so, than the hundreds of 'tMary's'' friends who look for her each week, in being un- able to exhibit the 11th picture of this most popular series of pictures en- titled What Happened to Mary AS soon as it was positively known that we would be unable to get the picture we made every effort to have it gem orally known, so that no one who at tended, expressly to see this picture would be disappointed. But today we will positively have the picture. hav- ing been notified that General Film Co. from whom the picture is secured have secured a new print in place Of the one that was partially destroyed by fire last Tuesday night This pfc- ture of the series is particularly in- teresting. Craig traces Mary to the light house only to find that she, has sailed away on the supply boat. By launch, auto and train he makes a desperate attempt to stop the girl be- fore she reaches New York. He final ly overtakes her but Mary outwits him and escapes.
