LIOYD-GEORGE HAS FAITH
IN ULTIMATE TRIUMPH

London. Sept. 13.---Minister Of Mu-
ntions Lloyd-George has written re-
markable preface to Through Terror
to Triumph" which is a compilation of
his speeches and prononncements since
the war began He gays In snis pre-
face, amon~ other things:
MY faith in our ultimate victory
is unweakened. always provided that
the allied nations put forth their whole
strength ere 1t In too late. Anything
less must lead to defeat. Had the
allies realized In time the full strength
OF their redoubtahle and resourceful
foes nay, what is more. had they rea-
lized their own strength and their
own resources. they would have taken
prompt action to organize them. and
today we should have witnessed the
triumphant spectacle OF their guns
pouringf out a stream OF shot and shell
which would have deluged the Ger
man trenches with fire and scorched
the German" legions across their own
frontiers.

vaudeville was at that theater. The
Two Huntings have practically the
same act they had when they visited
Richmond before Proving what ex-
perience on the stage will do for a
vaudeville team the HuntinGs drew
even more applause than greeted them
on their previous engagement.
Lambs Manikins, in all their glory
and colored tinsel Is the other act
seen here before. Perfect mechanism
and management adds much effect to
the actions of the tiny dummies. A
miniature vaudeville performance Is
fhe result. not mention the orches-
trail accompaniment
"A Night With the Poets" the
headliner for the first half of the
week. Is novel. Poetry, statue work
and the singing of four members OF
the company are consolidated into the
one act. Albert Perry. the poet OF
the company. has much ability at
reading his lines. AS for the sing
ing, little can be said. except. perhaps,
that the baritone should add more
strength to the quartet by putting
more force to his voice. Several Rich
mond children figure creditably In the
posing work.
The Farinelli Trio, two italian men
and one woman. also offer an act
featuring variety. Some good singing
Is q result of their efforts and the
mon play several instruments we'll.
Two motion pictures, one OF the
usual pictorial review, completes a
bill that deserves favorable comment.
