NEW OPERA HOUSE.
Colm,ial Maids Draw Packed House
Last Night.

Undoubtedly The best show put on
at the New Opera House since ITS
opening was the verdict Of the pack
ed house that witnessed it last night.
The bill opened with remarkable
four reel film picture, featuring Cnas.
T. Aldricll, in the 'Magic Toy Maker
and the balance was ably filled by the
"Colonial Minstrel Maids, and Musi-
cal Comedy Company" who were
greatly appreciated in the various
acts that they presented. An act that
received much commentator was, the
clever talking, juggling, and at the
same time dancing of Fred j. Palmer,
who performed many difficult feats
with an ease that astonished the aud
fence. A trio Of the Company rend-
cred many popular selections, ana
with an opening of old time Minstrel
sy, and closing with Comedy Sketch
Of merit, the entertainment was one
that appealed to all present.
The Management has booked this
combination for the rest Of the week,
and the bill will be entirely changed
every other night.
Tonight, Marion Leonard, will be
portrayed on the Screen in new five
part drama entitled, "Mother Love"
with the Colonial Maids presenting
their unique, and versatile bill.

sWANsONSIN NORFOLK,
Junior Senator Speaks at Add
Club Banquet Last Night.

Norfolk, Jan. 11.-"The present
war has demonstrated that the fu-
ture prosperity of our country will
depend largely upon our commerce
upon the seas. We must protect it and
we must demand it as a matter OF
right and not of favor. That is why
7 am in favor of the naval program"
said United States Senator Claud a.
Swanson, member Of the committee
on naval affairs, at the banquet OF
the Norfolk Ad Club, last night.
"This is the sentiment of the ma
iority of the Congress" said NM
Swanson, "and there is every assur-
ance that the present naval program
will be carried through"
There will be appreciable opposi-
ton to the military program, he
thought, not because Of lack OF beIiel
in the principal of preparedness, but
for the reason that many who favor
powerful navy and who expect to
see the naval program adopted take
the view that such sea force as pro-
posed would leave no need for great
increase in the land forces OF the
country. Coupled with this sentiment
tending to oppose the general military
program is the advocacy for increase
and Improvement of the National
Guard, TO meet the situation for ma
tional defense. Mr.. Swanson believes
in aid for the militia and expressed
the view that legislation for the good
Of the volunteer service would be en-
acted al the present session Of Con-
gress.
Senator Swanson predicted that the
Cape Henry Notifications would be
among the most powerful in the
world, and said that work would be
started there sometime during the
present year. "rhe failure OF power
full allied warships to force the OAR
danelles and the abandonment Of the
Galipoli operations" he said, lis a
striking illustration Of the need and
worth of strong Notifications at the
Virginia Cape"
Mr.. Swanson, accompanied by Post
master John A. Iesner and S. L.
Slower, visited the Norfolk navy
yard yesterday, to familiarizc HIM
self with needs of the local station.
Mr.. Swanson is strongly advocating
the building Of the proposed mammoth
drydock, at the Norfolk navy yard,
and also the construction Of proper
building ways and facilities. He is
also seeking to have the yard build
ing and shops placed in first class
condition which was one Of the prin-
cipal objects Of his visit to the yard
yesterday morning. Mr.. Swanson fclls
assured that the ncedcd legislation
for these improvements will be enact
led during the present session. lof
Congress, such tina; will make the
Nonfolil yard the most important
naval station on the Atlantic coast.
Senator Swanson spoke last night
upon preparedness Of the Nation
at the AID Club banquet.
Senator Swanson was the guest Of
Postmaster Lesner yesterday after
noon at. luncheon at the Chamber Of:
Commerce Club. '''
Following the luncheon 4 number
of the chambers members lunching
in the club met Senator Swanson at
an informal reception.
