B. F. Keith.

Keiths bill, this week, is made up of
laughter, classic dances, old-time melo-
dies and one very real thrill contribut-
ed by Samayoa, young Spaniard, who
juggles with his life high up in the air.
An Emma Carus of almost switchlike
slenderness is back, with new stock
of joyously rollicking didoes, which
explains her loss of pounds. Each
song, given with a jovial disregard of
the fact that her voice calls for grand
opera, had it's gusts of applause and
laughter, and to these were added song
and dance duets with Noel Stewart, her
agile partner Swan Wood and her
eight dancers, from the ballet of the
metropolitan OPERA" executed series
of classic and character dances, in
which beautifully artistic work was
enhanced by gem colored lights and a
succession of jewel-sparkling costumes.
Harry Breen challenged headline hon.
ors with revival of the singing games

and a travesty on mature talks" and

house by storm. The Old Homestead"
Double Quartet repeated the songs that
are associated with memories of the
ditties, and John Z. Henshaw and Grace
Avery sang half dozen songs, sea-
soned with patter, in their skit, "a
Vaudeville Table DHote." Marie
Pavey opened the performance with
musical monologue, Making a Star"
and other features included Bradley and
Norris in "Loveland," and the usual
review of motion pictures. which closed

High Prices in Teheran, Persia.

The cost of living may be high, but
suppose one lived in a city where the
coal bin had to be filed with coal at
$50 a ton. where cheese costs co cents
a pound and bushel of apples costs
s3.50 bushei-then what?
Such prices prevail in normal times
in the city of Teheran, Persia, reports
Vice Consul Ralph II. Bader to the De-
partment of Commerce. The high prices
are largely caused by the lack of
transportation facilities, the consul
says.

Polls.

"Milestones" received its first hot
weather presentation, as well as it's
premier in stock, here at Polls last
night, when the local players staged
an adequate production of this unusual
offering. The play has been seen in
Washington twice before. The interest
in the production this week, therefore.
necessarily centers in the efforts Of
the Poll players, and in the interpreta-
tions which they give of characters
running the gamut of time from youth
to old age.
Katherine Lasalle, as Rose Sibley. es-
pecially in 1860, gives an artistic and
enjoyable presentation of the role. Her
love scene with Albert Roscoe. who
plays the role of John Rhead, is one of
the happy spots in the play. Miss
serve and a convincing finesse.
Albert Roscoe gives sterling per-
Torrance of John Rhead, progressive
IN his youth, but conservative IN ms
old age. Mr.. Roscoe is especially sue
cessful in impersonating very old
man, with whine in his voice true to
life. The change wrought by time IN
the man who could see the future OF
iron ships in the age of wooden shlps,
to the man who could not see the fu-
ture of steel ships, is not clearly
marked. This change, however. is in
line with the general action OF the
characters throughout the play, with
one exception, Gertrude Rhead, admi-
rably played by Teresa Dale. Thwarted
in love in 1860, she remains true to
type-and herself-throughout her life.
and as seen in the play in 1885 and 1914
is always trying to Grown love king
of all" There is a wistful something
about Gertrude, young or gray-halred,
which Miss Dale presents to the life,
and thereby scores one of the triumphs
of her work in this city.
The other members of the company,
including Bessie McAllister, a welcome
newcomer, adequately meet the de-
mands in this sophisticated drama,
which, however, i: ?. finely constructed
piece of stagecraft The fine contrast
of the love scene in the first act and
the concluding scene, showing the old
couple by the fire, are works of art,

There are many lonely men. The very
loneliest man | have ever found was
standing by his bed in the hospital in
Lubbock, Germany. A party of American
correspondents had visited that spank
ing little city. We had seen their in
dustries and their packing houses-for
all the world as though we were on a
board of trade excursion from Arkan-
opolis-and then we were taken to the
hospital. 1t was a big and bright and
well ventilated room. Once it had been
n casino-a beer hall wherein the citi-
zenry of Lubbock took their brew to
music-and the empty stage with its
tawdry drop curtain still caught the
eye at the farther end. Now it was
filed with beds-fifty- mine beds-and
by each bed stood a man in hospital
uniform of bed ticking. They seemed
plump enough. though pale, as be-
comes convalescents.
