CHASE'S.

On the programme at Chase's this week
the largest type spells the name Nat NJ.
Wills. Therefore. one would suppose
that Nat is the headliner of the bill.
Above his name 10 the startling intell.-
gence that he is washington's own. He
seemed to be yesterday IL the applause
he received is a criterion to his popu-
larity and his act. He is one Of those
actors, or performers, who has a real
voice and puts It to a service devoted
to absolute foolishness. He tells few
jokes, some new and some old, but gets
them across in such a manner that leaves
no one guessing as to when to laugh.
In addition, he sings. There is little
rhyme and still less reason to his paro-
dies, but they get laughs. and therefore
fulfill their mission in the vaudeville
world.
lie Ballet Classique'' also is a fea-
tured act. 1t consists Of Mile. Marini
and Marcel Bronski and a ballet corps
of six dancers. The feature Of the per-
formance is the dance called 1.-THE Dying
Swan" in which Mile. Marini scores a
real hit and calls for the real applause
during the performs nee. The corps de
ballet suffers by comparison with the
real dancing of Mile. Marini, who is an
artist
Mary Elizabeth, thus billed. sings some
songs in a real manner. and tells some
real stories in Just az good a way. The
very simplicity Of her act and her per-
sonality make the act one worth while.
Her song about cooking in paper bags
Is a novelty, and a clever one at that

scenes from a stirring hunt. also is fea-
tured. 1t shows a horse. rider, and
hounds In different poses. The horse Of

and the master with his silver hair and
white clothing, make a picture which
will linger long in the memory Of the
audiences.
William Burr and Daphne Hope have
an act called "A Lady, a Lover, and a
Lamp" 1t is a brainless conceit. light
as the ocean foam, but interesting and
pleasing. Mr.. Burr sings a song about
Goo-goo Land that makes a hit, while
the few lines OF the piece and the setting
of the act makes 1t worth while. The
writer's own idea Of the act Is that 1t Is
good amusement
Corelli and Gillette, acrobats, are billed
as 1.-The old pair" They do a lot of
stunts, some foolish and some skillful.
The act is entertaining
The Stanleys, with a shadowgraph and
silhouette act, open the performance. 1t
is an unusual and odd act. and when one
considers entertainment only In so far
as it entertains, the Stanleys have one
of the best acts on the bill.

CASINO.

An excellent vaudeville bill is pre-
sented at the Casino Theater this week,
led by the Partisan art sensation, "A
Night With the Sculptors." in which ten
famous statuary groups are posed by
living artists. Mile. Isabel Peyrannis'
trained dogs and pigeons furnish a clever
entertainment, as interesting to adults
as to the children
Carr and Ellie, with their famous "One-
Man Band have the big laugh number
of the bill. George Murphy furnishes a
splendid dance offering, featuring the
real wing dance" and George Smedley,
king of banjoists," is a master with his
instrument and equally proficient with
mandolins, guitars and a rack of ten
string instruments, all of which he uses
in one of his selections. The National
City Quartet, four Westinghouse, have
an offering of broad farce and pleasing
harmonies that won them many recalls
yesterday and last night. Three excel
lent photoplays open and close each per-
fOrmance.

SEEKS TO PREVENT
DELINQUENCES in OFFICE

Little Rock, March 31.-The Lundy
bill, preventing the creation of de-
ficiencies in state offices, will probably
make the department of labor statis-
tics ineffective for the next two years.
The Lundy bill makes it unlawful for
any state department to employ clerks
or create any debt, in any case, where
no appropriation has been made by
the legislature. The Miles bill, Great
ing the department of labor statistics,
states the commissioner is to receive
$4,000 per annum, but made no appro-
priation to cover the $4,000. In past
years this would have bothered the
commissioner, who would have bor-
rowed the money from banks to
finance the office and expect the next
legislature to pay the bill. There are
number of applicants for the place,
but Governor Futrell will not make an
appointment if he finds the Lundy bill
would make the office non-operatlve.

TO PROTECT DEER

Governor Futrell and E. V. Visart,
the game enthusiast, held a rather eX-
tended conference Sunday afternoon
in an effort to work out some way by
which the deer of eastern Arkansas
may be protected in case of an over
flow. They could figure out nothing
other than an appeal to the civil au-
thorities of the counties, requesting
close watch and severe punishment
for those violating the game laws.

ed Acting Governor Futrell, "the deer
will be forced out of the bottoms and
many of them will be trapped on small

the people to shoot the down. in many
cases just for their hides. The fawns
are very young at this time of the
wear, and if they are not protected
the game will soon be exterminated

NO SHRINKAGE ALLOWED.

Little Rock, April Thereafter no
shrinkage will be allowed in any feed
stuff sold in Arkansas, Commissioner
John H. Page, Of the department of
agriculture, making announcement to
that effect Several of his inspectors
have discovered shortage, in some
instances as much as 10 per cent, in
the weight of feed offered for sale,
and the manufacturers have account
ed for it by saying the feed was
crushed or mixed when partially
green, and the loss was through evap-
Grafton. The commissioner announces
that the sack must always contain as
much, in weight, as is guaranteed by
the stamp on the sack, and hereafter
the manufacturer must make allow
anceS for shrinkage at the time the
feed is placed in the package. : This
will force all millers to grind per-
fectfy dry feed, or put enough addi-
tionaI in the sack to provide fer the
shrinkage.

Little Rock, March 29.-The owners
of the property upon which Hills
Lake, near Little Rock, is located, are

garding a proposition to turn the lake
into a refuge for wild fowl This lake
is several miles in length and about a
half mile wide. 1t has for years been

sart took the proposition of making
the lake a refuge for birds up with
them. He proposes to bring white
heron and many other migratory
birds from the Avery Island (Louis-

place. These birds will not be con-
fined and will leave in the spring
after the nesting season, but will re-

PLANS NOVEL RELAY RACE
CONWAY COACH HAS UNIQUE
ENDURANCE TEST FOR
TRACK SQUAD.

Athletic Director T. S. Staples of
Hendrix College has devised a unique
method of testing the endurance of
his track squad Within the next two
weeks he will select 10 of his best
men and station them three miles
apart, so that the last man will be
three miles from Little Rock. The
race will start from the Iron Noun
tain railway station. At given sig
nal, the coach will hand to the first
runner a message, which is to be re-
layed to the second, and so on until it
is delivered to Mayor Chas. E. Taylor
at the Little Rock city hall by the
man stationed nearest the capital city.
The coach believes that incalculable
good will result from his plan, as ev-
cry man on the squad is anxious to
participate in the relay, and will put
forth every effort in an endeavor to
make the team.
1t is very probable that Director
Staples will ask the Little Rock High
School squad to enter the race with
team, running in an opposite direc-
ton.
