POLES

Manager Poli has scored a. real big hit in his Bill of All Nations at Po- r's, the last half of this week. Sever al nations are represented in the vau- devilIe bill which offers the best at fractions seen here in many months.
 Victor Morley, the musical comedy star who was seen in Bridgeport this season in My Best Girl,' heads the program in the musical comedy by Rennold Wolf and Charming Pollock, "A Regular Army Man. This is billed as the American feature of the bill and it is a big success. Fourteen people, including 8 double male guar itet, are included in the company. The songs by the quartet are especially good, while MT. A1orley's comedy work is exceptional. It is by far the best musical act seen here in vaudeville in | A dainty bit of femininfty from Chi na, Lady Sen Mei, is another big at traction on the vaudeville program The little Chinese girl sings several songs in excellent voice..

PLAZA

It would be a hard matter for a critic to judge his feature on the Pfaza's vaudeville program for the latter half of the week by the amount erything on the bill went over like wildf1re, at yesterdays performances and everybody acclaimed 1t the best seen at the Plaza in some time.
 Hoeys & Mozart with the Merry Maids were billed as the main attrac- ton. The act is of the condensed u1l- sicaI twpe with plenty of girls in gay costumes and but 8 single man i've sincerly hope he was single with such a bevy of beauty on all sides of him1 in an arrangement of songs, dances and comedy that was cleverly ren- dered. There were nine people in all and the act was handsomely staged.
 Prescott and his assistant, seIman Fra ger, tried hard to give away a sum of money as a prize to anyone who an swered to a name that Prescott could not diyulge. but to no avail As Fres- cot. says, mental teIepa thy is a reality and after seeing his performance we feel inclined to take his viewpoint even though we may feel little awestruck from the some weird impression such a discovery or conviction naturally is iresponsibIe for ssMentalepathy'' was lthe title of their phychic seance and as Prescott walked through the audience 1 allowing himself to be put to the tests, each felt sure. that he had caught the artist in net, but disappointment mingled with surprise was brought home to them when MT. Frazer in clear. stentorfan voice spoke and sew eraI times spelled the name of the auditor who put Prescott to the test They not only told names but an swered all sorts Of questions as well.
 John Cutty, a versatile musician and incidentally one of the family of ia nous Cuttys, is proving a most de lightful attraction and plays a large l variety of instruments with remark ! able skill.
 W9imers & Burke. a mighty clever :, pair of dancers, come in for some strong appreciation. The silhoutte dance was novel and it was a real aci from beginning to end.
 1 A powerful dramatic story based on recent Mexican was episodes, 1.-The Outlaws Revenge in the Dawn of a l New Republic was shown in four parts and lived up to all expectations. Other first run photoplays were shown on the bill.

is expected that the usual crowd Of
hook and line devotees will be out. As
usual they say that the streams are in
condition for the opening and that
many ash will be caught providing
they are in the streams and the water
is not too high or too low and the
weather not too hot or too cold and
some other things that may or may not
make good or bad fishing.
Notices have been posted throughout
the county by game wardens, calling
attention to the fact that non-residents
must obtain licenses to fish. The IL
censes must-be obtained from the state

We have been advised by the official
board of the Zeba church that the an

near Pequaming July 16 and continue
for week. Zeba is The Indian reser-
walton between L'Anse and Pequaming.
Several hundred Indians from all parts
Of the Middle West assemble at the
camp each year to attend religious ser
vices and to renew Christian vows,
which includes taking pledge to abb
stain from intoxicating drinks. The
meetings are visited by many copper
country people who make the trip by
boat, landing at Pequaming and walk

Thousands Of our most beautiful song
sters are killed annually by the domes-

BY training boys and girls to feed

sport brutalizes the hunter. Michigan
should conserve bird life. This is dis
tinctively human.
Many Of the birds are like men de-

A park without trees is desert, unfit
