SHE FOUND OUT A FEW THINGS
ABOUT SOME OF THE MEN
Cora Mawhinney has just turned
over to Chief Heafey-a report of her
Investigations into the flirting of the
loop. In the company of cookbook
ing girl friends she found ''it unne-
cessaTy to walk a block before we
were approached by men who would
step up in response to the smiles we
gave them
Before this investigation Miss
Mawhinney thought that man and
a girl might smile at each other and
even meet without wiCkedness.
when l read of pOliceWOmen lur-
ing men to 1iTt with them thought
it shameful" said Miss Mawhinney.
my illusions are gone now.
Flirting is no longer the innocent
pastime it used to be. Men who firt
nowadays usually invite girls to
private diningroOm of their hotel
room. Some say they know OF an
apartment. Their one object is to
take her to perditiOn."
In the thirty subjects" met in her
campaign Miss MaWhinney met only
four whose intentions were honor
able. All were well dressed and had
plenty of money. The majority said
they were brokers and promoters.
None of them attempted to bully
and brighten us when we repulsed
their advances" the girl continued.
THE only remedy for the condition
we found is a strict law which should
be so severe that it would exteTmi-
nate this class of men"

MOTION PICTURES
TAKEN UNDER SEA
Famous Williamson Expedition Pic
lures at Majestic All This Week
From Noon to 10 p. NJ. Daily

What is the bottom of the sea like?
This subject has piqued human curiosity
beyond any other supposedly unsolvable
problems 1t is giving away before the
mystic speculation and the scientific in
vestigation by man.
The sea has been conquered and has
already been robbed of many of its secrets
by the Williamson brothers, who, by
means of their fathers colapsible subma-
rine tube, are able to descend many feet
under the water and photograph what
they see there. Already they have been
down to depth of from 60 to 100 feet,
and the time is not far distant when
the tube will be so perfected and length
ened that they can visit the utmost
depths of the ocean.
The results of the Williamson brothers
first submarine expedition will be shown
by the Universal Film company at the
Majestic theatre all this week, with CON
tinuous performances from Il noon to 10
p. m, when it presents the motion pic
lures which they secured on that trip

EMMA CARUS FEATURE
OF THE LYRIC BILL
Famous Musical Comedy Star in
Songs and Music and Dances.
Lai Mon Kim Returns

The name of Emma Carus on the top
of vaudeville bill means an excellent
week for the patrons of the house. This
famous star and co-star of musical come
dies is one of the few condolences who
can always be depended on to entertain,
amuse and strike the funny bone of the
audiences, north, south, east or west. In
vaudeville she is assisted by Carl Randall
in songs and music and dance. The last
two big successes, which incidentally Miss
Carus made successes, We're "A Broadway
Honeymoon" and up and Down Broad
way" Miss Carus will be heard at her
best and seen in an array of new and
stunning gowns.
Prince Lai Mon Kim is a noted Chinese
tenor, and the thousands who heard him
when here before know that a treat is in
store for them lie, has a tenor voice
of high range and a clearness that has
proved astonishing to musicians and crit
les. He is one of the few orientals who
has conception of occidental music and
ability to sing it. His programme con-
sists of an operate selection, several pop
ular numbers and a number in Chinese
which is popular ballad transposed by
him.

his band, which is to appear at the JEFF
ferson theatre Friday matinee and night,
played to thousands of people every even

like of which Boston had never seen be-

audience was moved TO increasing enthu-

bers. Tumultuous applause, consisting of
Land clapping. vociferous cheers and
stamping of feet broke forth particularly

closing selection from Carmen. F."
