After the concert ! usually sang on the
stage in the tent and IN the minstrel

how l discovered the Oldest joke. Poor

NEW BRIGHTON.

An unusual novelty will be presented
at the New Brighton Theatre next
week, when the musical comedy sue
cess 1.-THE Quaker Grip will be seen
entire as part Of big vaudeville show.
There will be no advance in prices, and
the usual Sunday concerts will be
given. "The Quaker Girl" which Is
being presented by John p. Slocum, has
history which has probably never
been duplicated by any musical COM
Cdy, for IL has had runs in London,
Paris and New York, ranging in years
instead Of months, as do the average
musical plays. It's score Is by Lionel
Monckton and book by James I. Tan
ncr, while the lyrics are the joint effort
Of Adrian Ross and Percy Greenbank.
The music has been hummed and
vhistlcd all over the civilized world,
but is of that remarkable quality which
does not lose in repetition. The Come
10 the Bal" waltz is conceded 70 be
the most lifting melody OF decades and
compares favorably with the best
Strauss rhythms. The popular musical
comedy will be presented by the same
strong and capable company as char
acterized is New York run. Miss Ath-
leta is a beautiful woman who is able
% perform the most remarkable aero
batic feats She will appear with tn,
Ankor Brothers in a series OF thrilling
gymnGstic stunts. Whittier's Barefoot
Boz is a new vaudeville offering, IL
which a young man appears and goes
through the various actions that q
barefoot boy would. Niolinsky has an
unusually entertaining and amusing
piano and violin offering.

The main photo-play at the Strand

various happenings Of an industrial
revolution, during which they are re
duced to circumstances bordering on
poverty and even Incarceration. Be
sides the star feature there will be the
topical review, showing interesting
scenes Of the present European stu
alton. A series of travel pictures and
scientific studies, which, ike all sci
cntifc studies, when presented in 4
popular vein, are extremely interesting.
A new sterling comedy completes the
picture part Of the bill. The concert
orchestra, under the direction Of Carl
Edouarde, a strong feature Of the pro-
gramme, will render classical as we'll
as popular selections. The vocal SOLO
lists for the week are Miss Marion

"The 100000 Plot" have scored
such success at the New York
Theatre that william Morris has az

tentious detective drama ever produced
for the movies" Not only does il
show score or more OF the detective
tricks which Mr.. Burns used in round
ing up one of the eleverest bands OF
criminals in America, but it shows ex-
actly how these criminals managed to
make wellnigh perfect counterfeit
OF the Monroe head 500 certificate.
The pictures also show the engraving,
bill splitting and printing plants OF
the cOunterfeiters.

EXCHANGE HAS A BREAK
Rates at Their Lowest Since
the War Started.

Demand sterling broke to 1921 yes
terday and cables to 4.93A before a
scramble of buyers sent rates up again
to 4.94% and 1865, respectively. The
first named prices are the lowest eX-
change on London has touched since
the closing of the Stock Exchange on
July 80, a few days after the Euro
pean war began.
The decline in exchange was as
cribed TO variety of reasons. the
chief being the apparent success of the
city's note offering abroad as well Of
here, with its implication that the
amount Of exchange TO be RENTED
as was expected a week ago.
Another important cause was the
broadening of the London discount
market at the beginning Of this week,
which made possible the diseounting of
single name and other paper such as
was not even considered a few days
before. Banking houses, too, have
again been drawing finance bills, Dor
rowing money in London for three
months on their own credit and selling
against the funds thus made available
for the demand drafts.
The high price received for demand
drafts so largely Offset the cost Of ne
gotiating the finance bills as to give
the bankers drawing the bills the use
of the money for three months for
nothing and a profit Of as much as 2
per cent besides. AS a result there
has been considerable drawing of these
bills, with a commensurate increase in
the supply of exchange.
