POL.rS

For a real diversion in vaudeville. you'n have to present the laurel wreath to the author of "The Head liner,p a clever slit that tops the pro- gram at Polls, the last half of the week. There is originality to this in- teresting and unique story of the life "backstage."
 William Farnum, the husky man of those d-blooded movie plays. scores another personal success in the six-part drama, The Fires of Con- science.' Tho story is unusual in con- struction and there are many dramatic institutions that are well done. An other feature of the film program is the newest edision of Pathe News, con- taining some interesting views of world events. N.
 The Five Harmonic Gitls. a special extra feature in the bill. displayed real talent in a program of instrumental and vocal numbers
 McShayne & Robinson, presenting a ssblackface'' oddity, had a lot of good material that was handled right and these boys found themselves in favor from the start.

LYRIC
..TExAs.n

-t
 The indications are that large au- diences will flock to the Lyric Theatre next week to see the production of "TexaA" Those who have already seen that ever popular comedy drama will be sure to go again. and those who have never seen it are advised to attend and make the acquaintance of the vivacious Texas West, "Oklaho- my" and all the other characters who combine in telling a realistic story of ranch life in the Lone Star State. There was never play Of greater ap- peal, for it contains every ingredient for success. There are plenty of thrills, plenty of laughs, and plenty of heart interest. Everything about it is clean, wholesome and fragrant. That is why 1t is SO exceedingly popular with women and children who do not .enthuse oyer the sensational dramas of i the day At this particular time, when all eyes are turned in the direction of Texas this play which is so true to It's atmosphere, may be said to be almost educational in value. Louis ThieI, who plays "Oklahopa" created that role in the original production. The Texas Vest of the present pro- dnction is Jane Weir, who is in every way qualified to portray that ever pop ular character.

PLAZA

1t was a corling show that the Plaza offered as a crowd gatherer for the latter half of the week and yesterdays audiences were more than apprecia- tive.
 Hall's Musical Minstrels, quintet of skilled musicians and songsters, headed the vaudeville with one of the eneAtest and tuniest offerings of it's type we have had the pleasure of see- ing locally in several months. Mumford and Thompson were a hit in a singing and nonsensical talking diversion that had enough laughs for q whole production. One of the mem bers 1ss an exceedingly clever character comedian and his material is thor oughly original.
 Valyda. a strikingly beautiful young woman. and the Two Brazilian Nuts, a pair of clever darlkies, were given a rousinr ovation in q singing, piano and dancing fantasy they had to offer.
 Opening the bill were the Jennings, Q boy and girl who have a rather novel and pleasing way of putting over their original juggling feats and they had little difficulty in bringing the crowd to realize 1t.
 ''The Jungle Child" was the main dhoto-feature, a Triangle attraction, and in it are featured Dorothy Dalton and Howard Hickman The story was quite unusual as far as photoplay sto- ries go and had something in it's plot that held an audience interest-bound throughout the entire five reels.
 'Ehe Loved a Sailor" a two-part Keystone comedy. with Harry Mccoy, was big laugh winner.

LEADERS THINK
 PRESIDENT WILL
 WIN NEW YORK

That Woodrow Wilson will carry New York by good plurality over Hughes is predicted by every Demo- cratic leader of the Empire state.
 The closest cooperation exists be- tween the Democratic National Com mittee, the upstate and, New York City Democratic leaders arM the rep resentatlves of the large body of In- dependent and Progressive voters who will vote for Wilson.
 Plans for statewide campaign of unprecedented activity in the inter- est of the Democratic national and state tickets was recently perfected at conferences between Chairman Vance c. Mccormick of the Demo- cratic National Committee. and Chair man Edwin S. Harris of the Democrat ic State Committee and prominent New York City leaders.
 Democratic national, state and local leaders reported to the corferees that enthusiastic and effective co-opera- ton existed in every election pre- cinct in the state. News of pro- nounced shifting of sentiment to Pres- ident Wilson both among the farmers and industrial workers in the interior of the state was brought from all the upstate leaders.
 Chairman Harris was particularly enthusiastic in his assurances to Chairman Mccormick that New York State was certain to be found in the Wilson column.
 we have planned to organize along some new lines.Y said Chairman Har- ris, "voters outside the Democratic party, as everyone knows. have dec1ar- ed for President Wilson in every e1ec- ton district of the state. There is not
 single election district which does not have a number of Republicans who are going to vote for President Wilson. We are going to help them get others. So far as the Democratic vote is concerned, it is 100 to 1 prop osition that Wilson, Seabury and Me- Combs will get 99 per cent. of the 100000 Democrats of all kinds who vote in the state.
 "In the Republican primaries over 100000 votes were cast for Bacon. That represents the number of Repub- lican voters who would not have re- nominated Whitman if they had their own way.
 Now. on the Wilson proposition there are three factors at work. Take the situation for instance in the Gen. era1 Electric Company's plant in Schenectady, where 25,O0O persons are employed, Wilson will get 4,0OO to. 5000 votes there that normally have not belonged to the Democratic party at all. My reports show that this situation is being repeated all over the state.
 "Ajrecent poll in Erie County (Buf- falo) shows al shift iof 10000 votes from Hughes to Wilson, while in the agricultural district, the Republican strongholds, we find any number of farmers who are going to vote for Wi1s0n'

A CELEBRATED HYMNOLOGIsT

Those who are old enough to re- member the good old days when singing was an accomplishment which everybody shared-when the toddhng infant and the crackle-voice grandam joined in more or less joyous song at all religious services, and singing schools flourished 4n the churches and schools of city and country alike such folk will derive a thrill of re- miniscent pleasure from seeing in print the name of William Batchelder Bradbury This is the centenary of the birth of that eminent hymnolo- ,gist, and, although the era has passed when his songs were as standard as the readers of Mir. McGuffey, doubt less there are still left a multitude of people who know many of his hymns "by heart"
 Bradbury was born in the village of York, Maine, on Oct. 6, 1916, and died in Montclair, N. J., in 1868. In his youth he studied music in Bos- ton, and later in London and Berlin. Upon his return to America in 1840 he began teaching music in New York and Brooklyn He organized many Tree singing ScnOOlS, ana n1S pppnc concerts, at which all the singers were children. enjoyed a huge popularity. Later he joined his brother in the piano manufa curing business, but continued to devote most of his time to the composing of hyms and music al collections for schools and churches.
 For many years Bradbury's musical collections-nearWs seventy in number were among the "best sellers" and 1t is estimated that their sales have amounted to about six million vol umes.
 Among the more popular of these books were the Young Choir" "Flora's Festival,' '"The Golden Chain," "Pilgrim Song Book" "The Golden Trio," The Jubilee" Temple Choir" and Fresh Laurels"
