Lassies." and according to reports that
emanate from the box office the com
bination will receive the banner audi
ence it deserves. Next week Gladys

clever musical comedy stars who have
long since been voted favorites here
but who won their greatest favor as
the leading players in The Trained
Nurses When they come to the
Orpheum next week they will be the
bright particular stars in Mr.. Laskys
newest and most elaborate musical
comedy called The Society Buds"
The book. the music, the players and
in fact the act taken in its entirety is
said to outdo either the Trained
Nurses or the Red Heads" Irving
Berlin. the famous song writer has
written two songs especially for Clark
and Bergman. They are entitled Fur
nshinG Up a Home for Two" and "My
Idea of Paradise" The stage setting
of the act is unique and magnificent.

Henry Bergman Will
Fox Trot at Orpheum

Authorities say that the Vernon
Castles may he the whole show in a
lot OF the late dance fads, but they
also say that these same clever ar
lists share honors with Henry Berg

that Mr.. Bergman does His is the
one that has New York society mad

described as the chained ankle trot"
In this dance the girls angles are held
together by a silver chain, allowing
them very small space in which to
make their steps. Now that sounds
like pretty dangerous dance girls, so

the surprise features in Jesse l..
Lasky's newest and most elaborate
one-act musical comedy called THE
Society Buds" that serves to bring

popular pair ever seen at the Orpheum

Reception Accorded the
Cadillac Announcement

The announcement of the Cadillac
Company to market an eight cylinder
car this year with the V-shaped mo-
tor, was naturally the principal topic
for discussion this week among mo-
torsts. The opinions varied accord
ing to individual opportunities for the
study of the advantages of a four six
or eight-cylinder car. But the general
expression seemed to be that the in
novation was an assured success, con-
sidering that the company back of the
car is among the leaders in the pro-
duction of motor cars and has for
years been known for it's conserva-
tive policy
G. c. Crispen, of the Crispen Mo-
tor Car Company, says it is remark
able how the public responds to the
Although the car has
not been seen, Mr.. Crispen reports
an excellent list of names awaiting de-
liveries simply because of the conf
dence in the products that has been
manufactured by this company for
years. The reports from the factory
at Detroit are similar in tone, and the
officials predict that the indications
are that the factory will be obliged to
work full capacity in order to meet
n demand which threatens to exceed
the supply.

Frank" as most everybody on the
job knows him.
He holds the record for rapidity in
placing stringers, footwall and steps:
he cares neither for driving, drench-
ing rain, fog, lightning. thunder or
nipping cold. High water alone might
bother him, but the chances are that
he wouldn't let even Father Susque-
hanna worry him at all if it were
possible to set concrete in rubber boots
and raincoat.
If you should happen along the
river wall where Franks gang is at
work you can readily pick him out of
the crowd. He works all the time
coatless, often hatless-save when he
is about to be photographed, when he
goes IN for his new English hat-and
he's got voice that can pierce the
"no-forstay" bluff of the blandest
Slav or Croat. He understands his
job thoroughly: he modestly admits
that he's sort of acquired the habit
Furthermore, he will modestly tell you
IL you press for an answer that he has
been twelve years in the service of the
Sucker Brothers. that he helped them
build some nine miles of State high
way at Wilkes-Bar that he has had
charge of the construction gangs for
Booth & Finn, the great Corbett Com
pany, and Fl. S. Kerbaugh when the
latter constructed the Enola yards
The men in his gang--be they for
eigners, negroes or white Americans
all like him, Somehow he instlls the
fact into them that such and such a
section must be completed in u certain
time-and the men all help to make
the completion of that job a personal
issue.
And so they hustle along with the
barrow loads of cement, Jump. here
and there with pick and shovel, grab
up this crowbar or swing that ham
mer, scurry and run-cven while they
grin at Franks" below of command.
And this in tones that suggest the
requests for the services of Mr. Kip
ling's famous native waterboy. AL
ways Mr. Williams has his eye on the
job, even while he may have both
ears bent your way. That's why con-
versation with the foreman Is divided
more or less with workmen on the Job
something like this:
How many sections of steps was
our daily record? Why. fifteen-hey,
John, what're you DOING with that
wheelbarrow ?"
And you can say that we're going
to get this whole job done this year
Mike, quit actin like Woodrow Will
son and Do what you've on your
mind. If you've got a mind
''How's that? Sure-well have it
sake dump that concrete to-day-TO-
DAY. John-TO-DAY!"
And that's the spirit that has placed
ID. f. Williams foremost among con-
crete construction foremen-and the
spirit that is making the vision of the
front steps of Harrisburg" come
true.
