''Under Cover''

A thrilling detective narrative COM
'bined with an enhancing love story, is
the theme of "Under Cover,n the new
play by Ro Cooper Megrle which Sell
wynn & Company will present at the
Majestic next Wednesday, matinee and

promise of rivaling the popularity rec
ords established by "Within the
Law also produced by Selwyn g.
Company, and already "Under Cover"
has passed its 200 performance in
both New York and Chicago. "Under
Cover" deals with the eecret service
and an effort to discover the smuggler
of a valuable necklace. 1t is full of
surprising incidents and reaches to-
tally unexpected ending. According to
press and public of New York and Chi
cago, "Under Cover" is a play which
will delight all classes of playgoers
and no matter what inroads moving
pictures may have made with the pa
irons of the gallery and balcony, in
reference to other plays, they will re-
turn at least enee to see this produc-
tion.--Adv.s

TWO NEW BRITISH SQUADRONS
ADDED SINCE THE WAR BEGAN

Berlin, Via Amsterdam and London,
March 10, S.45 A. Mn an article
in the "Vorwaerts the former Lon
don correspondent of the newspaper, in
dealing with the Dardanelles attack,
says:
"The composition of the British fleet
appears to confirm the rumor that Great
Britain has added two squadrons of
new ships to her navy since the war
began. The sending of the Queen Eliz-
abeth type vessels to the Mediterran-
can shows how little is the anxiety
the British Admiralty feels concerning
its superiority in the North sea.
"The view is generally expressed
that the Dardanelles cannot be forced
without heavy landing party. How
ever, this difficulty should not be given
exaggerated Importance. 1t is great
mistake to view the operations against
the Dardanelles as mere blum.

At the orpheum

Not the least interesting of the
clever players at the Orpheum this
week, is Harrisburg's favorite stock
actress, Helen Grayce, who is now sue
cessfully appearing in vaudeville and
who, with very capable east is pre-
senting comedy playlet called "Bill
$685." The story of her vehicle is just
as interesting as it is well interpreted.
1t deals with q suffrage bill that is to
be paseed in the Senate, Miss Grayce
essaying the role of the suffragette,
while tie Senator, who Miss Grayce
suspects of opposing the bill, is detan-
ed in her home until it is too late for
him to make his speech. Just how her
scheme works out must not be told
here. But the playlet nevertheless gives
theatregoers a new phase of women
pulling at the strings of politics and
the lines and situations are clever and
well handled.
1t might be interesting to note that
"Bill 999" was written 5y Miss Una
Clayton, who was at the Orpheum a
few weeks ago herself. and who has
presented many very clever sketches in
vaudeville. As the saffragette, Miss
Grayce is very pleasing. Donald McMil-
Ian, is very clever and very funny SIS
the suffering husband, while Francis
Morey. is all thai could be desired as
the Senator. The host of Miss Grayce s
admirers in Harrisburg, who have en-
Joyed her many appearances in stock
companies at the Majestic, are taking
keen interest in her qocal vaudeville
engagement. She and her company are
presenting one of the very interesting
attractions supporting Trixie Friganza,
the notable headliner of the week.
