1t is known fact that the majority
of theatre-goers prefer musical comedy
to drama Its combination of comedy,
harmony and life, is generally attrac-

such a generous appeal, and from this
standpoint the splendid vehicle THE

Arnold is playing the leading role full
fills every expectation. As might be
expected Mr. Arnold, who for several
seasons has played leading roles in
Adams, Hough and Howard, successes
is admirably suited for this most en-
yiable role, that of the Prince, in THE

is portraying is that of penniless
college youth, who accepts position

formed into a Prince of the mythical
land of Lunitania While in the role of
the Prince, Mr.. Arnold is seen at his

he impresses you as one who will
make his presence felt He is gifted
with an excellent voice and during
his three numbers, Tonight Will

Found Babys Head on Engine Pilot.
Belleville, Kans., Jan Part of a
little. girls head with bit of blue
baby ribbon tied to the hair, was found
on the pilot by the engineer Of Rock
Island passenger train NO. 5, when he
oiled the engine here tonight
Investigation developed the fact that
the engine had struck a buggy at a
grade crossing two miles north of here,
killing Wilson James, his wife and two
children
The mother, two-months-od baby
and a three-year-old girl were killed
instantly. The father was breathing
when picked up, but died shortly after
wards Engineer Laird said he did
not know when the engine struck the
buggy. A portion of the buggy top
was wedged to the pilot when the train
reached here. Two boys, eight and
thirteen years old, are the only sur
yiying members of the family. When
the train reached here the headlight
was not burning. A switch engine was
sent back to the scene Of the accident
and the crew picked up the bodies.
