POLES

Thrills and laughs abound in the un- usual and startling acrobatic novelty that is offered by the Boganny Troupe. as one of the features in very pleas ing program at Polfs. Ten in num- Der, these artists are veritable whirl- winds, their many stunts being fairly breath taking in their daring, and Throughout the offering there is a pleasing vein of humor.
 ,The second edition of the German War Pictures are attracting wide- spread attention. These films were taken at Verdun and are absolutely authentic, and offer good insight into one portion of the worlds conflict now in progress. Another interesting fea- ture of the photoplay program is the f1ve-part film drama Wars Women" in which Frank Keenan, the eminent stage star, has leading role. This gripping photo-drama is ably present. ed by an adequate cast.
 Jack Altman, always a favorfte here. is winning new laurels with his pleasing singing program, while the Darktown Four are yoffering a highly diverting entertainment with their songs and comedy.
 The Burke Sisters. in g. nifty vau- deville oddity, and H. c Terrier, pre- senting a juggling novelty, complete the excellent program.

The Origin of Typography.

About century ago an artist named Cranch was standing one day in front of a fire in his home at Administer. Over the fireplace was an oaken man. telpiece, and it occurred to Cranch that this expanse of wood might be improved by little ornamentation. He picked up the poker, heated it red hot and began to sketcha bold design. The result pleased him so much that he elaborated his work and began tc attempt other fire pictures on panels of wood. These met with ready sale and Cranch soon gave all his time to his new art. This was the beginning of what is now known as typography Exchange.

If you enjoy good music and appre- ciate beauty in stage scenic investi- ture, you should see the Bonnie Sex tette in their gorgeous musical fex- travaganza at the Plaza today for today is the last day they will be there and 1t is really too good an act to miss. The six girls in the act are all prettily costumed and the ward robe is a large and varied one. Brass instruments, violine, bagpipes and drums are used with pleasing effect and the repertoire offered is tastily arranged.
 Jones and Johnson, the colored comedians whose screamingly funny line of talk and clever soft shoe danc- ing has made them raging favorites wherever they have appeared are on the bill in an important spot and creating more real hilarity than any act to play the Plaza in months
 Wells and Lee, clever team in a singing and comedy talking skit that Is happily presented. and Frank Car man in hoop rolling and baton juggling novelty, are pleasing. William H. Thompson, recognized as the dean of the dramatic stage, has the star role in the latest Triangle production, "The Eye of the Night which is being presented in five parts The story is one of pathetic appeal Healing with the life of young girl who has been betrayed by Aa young scamp and later summed by the, nar- row-minded bigots in the town ir which she lives.

PARK

This week hCeeil Spooner and her company are giving the first perform ances of sensational surprise comedy drama, Positive Patsie, and it is proving positive and most refreshing success from every viewpoint. The play, which is divided into four big acts. is full of dash and action all the way through. and while unusually strong in dramatic writing, fairly bubbles over with original, clean-cut comedy. It is full of snap shots of Metropolitan life and character, and possesses a most vital story. which is unfolded in a graphically correct manner Positive Patsie' is 9 splen- did part for Miss Spooner, one that is exactly in her line. It is a new kind of girl, in a new style of play which
 pictures the lights and shades of everyday hfe in New York city, par ticularly in the tenement and ''slu.n" section of the lower East Side, where in the first act transpires. The part of "Patsie" is that of the typical high spirited. buoyant Nwaif of the streets. Pell Trenton gives mag nificent performance of .:John March" a young architect. In fact, it would be difficult matter to find an artist capable of improving on MT. Trenton's splendid work. That magnetic child artiste, little Marion Melrose, again registered a, most emphatic hit as "Laddie," (.-Patsie's'' brother), a cripple boy. Jane Komray gives a sparkling portrayal of Barbara Tel fair,"s society girl and Frederick Clayton as "Reginald Curry. is a typical man about town, and plays the part to perfection. Rita Villers may always b erelied on to give a performance both finished and fault ; less. and as Mrs Jotham" makes distinct hit. Helen Tilden another big favorite. gives a remarkable rem
 dition of .sTanaS Jeanneton, drug
 f1end, while James KennedyAas MT
 Hawkins,'' settlement worker, is Admirable in rather difficult part.
 Clyde Armstrong, who directed the staging of the production, is splendid , as "Jonatnan Telfair,1 in fact the en- tire cast Is most perfect one in ev- cry sense of Nthe term Positive Patsie'' is an unquestionable success,
 judging from the reception given it thus far this week. For next week, an, elat1orate revival of that idyllc Southland romance. ''st. Elmo" is an- nounced.

Very Brief.

A record of brevity in a holiday correspondence was established by a Frenchman in the eighteenth century. Voltaire and Piton, the epigrammatist, exchanged challenges to write the shortest possible letter. So when Vol taire was starting on journey he wrote to Piton, 'Eo rus,' which is the complete Latin for ..I aun going to the country Piton's answer was just t'"I' complete Latin for ''go."

Strange storehouses.

In the old birds nest that are placed trees close to haZelnut bushes and bit tersweet vines one will often find a handful of hazelnuts or bittersweet berries. They were put there by the white footed mice and the meadow mice, which visit these storehouses regularly. Very often white footed mouse will cover a birds nest with fine dried grass and inner bark and make a nest for itself. = New York Tribune.

 WhereN and when was the battle of Dorlsing fought? /
 The battle referred to was an imaginary one. "The Battle of Dor king" was the title of clever piece of fiction written many years ago for the purpose of alarming the people of Eng land by showing how easily German army could overrun and capture the island. The author of the story was Sir George Chesney, an officer of high rank in the British army. who served with distinction in India and was aft erwRrd promoted to lieutenant general. The story was written just after the Franco -Prussian war and was publish ed anonymously in Blackwoods Maga- zine in 1871. Its complete title was ..The Battle of Dorzing; or, Reminis- -cences of Volunteer and the au- thor Knowledge of military affairs and strategy enabled him to give very realistic account of the operations of an invading army. The story had q great run and helped to bring about an improvement in England's means of national defense.

Was it ever proposed to name one of the United States after Benjamin Franklin?
 That name was actually used for a few years. In 1785 the settlers of what is now east Tennessee adopted a constitution and organized state call ed Franklin. John Sevier, promi- nent man of the period, was chosen governor, and legislature was elect ed, which met at Jonesboro in 17S5! But North Carolina claimed owner ship and jurisdiction over that region, and trouble aubse which caused the Franklin state movement to be aban- doned in 17S8.
