BOX OFFICE FOR Concert
Will Be Open TO- morrow
Famous Quartet From "Rigoletto
Will Be Sung Thursday Afternoon,
April 20-Requests for Seats Indi-
cate Increased Public Interest

The box office at the Majestic thea
ire opened this morning for the honor
airy members to reserve their seats for
the spring music festival of the Choral
Society, to be held next Thursday. The
box office opens tomorrow morning at
8 o O'Clock for the exchange of tickets
and the general sale of seats.
Judging from the large demand for
tickets, the interest this year is greater
than ever before and all Indications
show that the Choral Society is more
popular than ever. This is the twen-
tleth anniversary of the Choral So,
ciety's existence. The society was or
ganized in 1895, largely through the
efforts of j. H. Kurzenknabe and the
Rev. DR.. George s. Chambers, late pas
tor of Pine Street Presbyterian church
DR.. Chambers was it's president for
many years. He was succeeded by
Bishop james Henry Darlington and he
in turn by John Fox Weiss.
The oldest official and one who has
done excellent work for the Choral So
eiety is S. d. SAMSON. Mr.. SAMSON has
been treasurer of the society since its
organization and has been a most loyal
and competent official
At the afternoon concert Miss Marie
Stoddart, soprano; Miss Marie Morris
sey, ,contralto; George Harris, Jr., ten
or, and Wilfred Glenn, bass, will sing
the famous quartet from "Rigoletto. +"
The other soloists will be Louis Edlin,
violinist, and Jacob Altschuler, viola.
Patrons are urged to be in their seats
promptly at clock for the after
noon concert and by SIS for the even
ing concert, as late comers will not be
seated until the first intermission.
Tickets can be obtained from any ac-
tive member of the society, Sigler 8
music store, Central book store or the
box office of the Majestic theatre.

LENTEN SEASON
Dance Frocks Possessed of the Spirit
Of 1S50-Petticoats Are Again
Popular

New York, April 26.-Despite rain
and blustery weather, spring festivi-
ties are in full swing. Never have the
theatres been more crowded nor the
gowns more beautiful, but activities
center around the few chosen restau-
rants, where smart New Workers dine
and dance. As. if to snatch the last
drop of pleasure before dashing off to
country homes and summer hotels,
every belle and beau of the metropolis
treads the measure of the maxixe, the
one-step and fox trot to the accom-
paniment of orchestra music inter
mingled with the elink of diners
glasses, the quaintness, of the dancers
dresses oddly contrasting with the
modern setting of white covered tables
and blaek-clad walters lowering near.
Although Dame Fashion, mindful of
the subway, perhaps, hesitates to
spring the hoop skirt in daytime dress
es, she spares no flfllness in the dance
frock. Skirts, short in length, billow
and flare like sails in the wind, as the
wearers dip, swing or hesitate in the
measures of the dance; their width is
aeeentuated by the tightness of the
waist and the closeness of the eoiffure,
giving a fower-like formation to the
modern silhouette. So varied are the
eolors, the scene becomes a human
kaleidoscope, the shifting figures
bringing first pastel and then vivid
shades to the fore.

ham Tree IS PRESENTED
With WOEFUL Lack OF Pep.
Usually Funny Play Suffers Through
An Apparent Absence of Ginger
Even in the Gases of the Stars, Nc
Intyre and Heath

Whether it was because the end of
the season is drawing nigh, or because
the stars were not greeted with an
audience that filed every seat, or that
the play was beginning, by frequent
repetition, to pail on the players
there was certainly something lacking
in the performance of the "Ham
Tree" by Mcintyre and Heath at the
Majestic Saturday night. There was a
lack of spirit and vim throughout the
entire performance. There was no
ginger, and decidedly no "pep" or
"go3 to the presentation of what has
heretofore afforded unbounded delight
to great audiences in this city.
The Ham Tree is not new play
but it has always been presented here
with a capable cast. The two stars,
Mcintyre and Health, are among the
cleverest comedians on the stage-en-
tirely different in their methods, but
both artists in the creation of merri-
ment. The story of the two stranded
members of the Georgia minstrels is an
old one, but it has always been a
theme of rare fun, but, for some rea-
son the performance of Saturday night
was decidedly below the usual standard
for the HHam Tree" Even the stars
seemed depressed for some reason and
their familiar jokes, always welcome,
were gotten off in a perfunctory man
ner that was distressing by comparison
with their previous work.
Only once did the principals rise to
the occasion and that was when they
were conjuring up the mythical feast
to comfort their weary frames. That
was really good and was heartily ap-
plauded-from the ham tree to the
biscuit bush, the sweitzer swamp and
the pretzel plant.
There was little or no applause and
but two encores, of which one was for
the trick mule that was summoned
from the livery stable to give an air
of merriment to an otherwise bald and
wearisome evening. The dancing was
above the ordinary, but the singing
was weak and spiritless.
Mcintyre and Heath can do better
than the performance of Saturday
evening, and if they can't then they
are not earning that $4,000 a sea
son which the energetic press agent
announced, is the stipend given for
their services

23 DEER IN TWO HERDS
They Loaf Around Caledonia in Merry
Mood-Herd of IL in Rear of Inn

Chambersburg, April 26.-Deer are
unusually plentiful ON the South noun
tain foothills now. Two herds with a
total of twentythree animals roamed
near Caledonia park recently. A herd
of eleven grazed for long time on
the peeping oats in the cultivated field
in rear of Graeffenburg Inn.
Forest Rangers Thomas and Stull
found lying against brushwood in Car
baugh run, east of the Shepard restau-
rant, a dead doe. The body was
partially decomposed. 1t had washed
down from the upper waters. The car
cass showed it had been attacked and
bitten by dogs and in seeking shelter
in the waters had died from exhaustion

faffeta and Lace in an Up-to- Date
Application of the Crinoline Mode

One girl in particular attracted my
attention, as l watched the dancers
the other night. But for her auburn
tresses cropped close in the "Castle
clip she might have been an 1850
instead of a 1915 girl, so tight was
her pointed bodice and so full her cir
eular skirt. Her throat, white as the
taffeta of which the gown was made,
rose above the round decollete. This
was edged with fine Chantilly lace and
scattered flowers, woven in pure silver
and blue, seemed purposely placed to
catch and hold the color of her ewes,
so perfect was the match The very
simplicity of the. froek made it attrae-
tive; its only trimming, besides the
lace, was a heavy cord covered with
silk, edging the bottom of the bodice
and looped garland fashion on the
skirt. Not detail of the costume was
overlooked, from her white stockings
and black slippers, laced high with
ribbon, to the Grecian band that held
her hair; telltale sway of the bill
lowing skirt told as plain as words. as
she glided away, that there was
hooped petticOat beneath-not the
toRcN SAcdiiOh OhA SIduunOJueTS knew,
but an ingenious arrangement intro
dueed in the early winter, consisting
of net petticoat, cut to come just be-
low the knee, medium in width and
finished at the lower edge with reed.
These are sometimes shown in the
shops festooned with flowers that
show through the sheer net dresses.
Though entirely different in cut and
texture, an equally charming dress was
worn at a fete in the midweek, by one
of the season debutantes noted for her
delicate Dresden-like beauty. With her
golden hair wound low in the neck and
single curl over her shoulder, she
appeared perfect crinohne belle in
her white net frock over slim of
white eharmeuse covered with white
chiffon. A bodice of yellow faille silk,
draped in front and held with roses,
