HALF MILLION CARS FOR 1876 BY FORD Largest Output in History of Factory Will Be Rec
 ord This Year

There doesn't seem to be any reason able doubt that the stupendous task to which the Ford Motor company has set itself-a half million cars from August to August-will be accomplished. Last year the huge production schedule of BOO, GOO Fords was reached by the specified time, with 5000 cars to spare.
 The Ford production for August, Sep tember. October and November is about S6 2-3 per cent larger than for the same period of last year. This means that the proportion for the new production is be- Ing maintaired and that there is already every indication that the 300, ,OOO- car sched- lle will be carried out.
 The Ford Motor company now has pbout 5000 agents. It is the largest sell- ng and service organization in the coun-

bued with a greater idea than fight
ing. He has always opposed military
training His idea is that the success
of a nation depends not so much upon
its ornaments as upon the character
Of its citizens. To make every single
boy an asset to the nation, he believes
IL necessary to prepare him for vo-
cation in life and to supply practical
moral training that he claims the pub
lie schoolhouse lacks. General Baden
Powell was born i'm England Febru-
airy %, 1857, was educated at Char
terhOuse, and Joined the Hussars at
the age OF 10. He served with distinc-
ton in India, South Africa, Zululand
Malta and other campaigns. For his
services in the defense of Mafeking
he was promted to major general. Hc

ulary after the Boer war and rem
dered other services for the British

PREMIERES OF THE WEEK

Kay" and Experience, in the past
two years, his appearance in triple
capacity will be the occasion for par
ticular interst.
"The Greatest Nation" while deal
ing with conflict between two ada
cent principalities, is not war play
in the usual sense Of the term. Il
is play OF symbolism which sug-
gests other means OF settling inter-
national disputes than by force OF
arms.
The story has to do with a tradi-
tional jealousy which has long existed
between the mythical kingdoms of
Adlon and Thor. The young Prince
of Donsu, Crown Prince OF Thor, is
mentally progressive, and a man OF
considerable engineering ability. In
the last year of his fathers reign he
superintends great works which event
ually give rise to suspicion on the
part of Rsdow of Adlon that he is
planning some sort Of strategic sg-
gression against the interests of Ad-
Ion. At the moment when these sus-
picions come to the ear Of the young
prince his father, the King Of Thor,
Is assassinated while travelling near
the frontier of Adlon. The excited
populace Immediately point the finger
of suspicion at Radow of Adlon, pro
yidlng the dramatic climax.
The scenic production is by Joseph
Urban. Mr.. Elliott's role is that of
Alan Of Donau. Crown Prince Of Thor,
and the character Of Rsdow, King Of
Adlon, Is played by Hal Forde. The
Leading feminine roles are played by
Olive Wyndham. as Adris. Crown
Princess of Adlon; and Nine. Yorska

Princess Xenis of Adlon. This will

tion. the cast contains Rowland Buck

"Pom-Pom" at the Cohan
Theatre.

TT ENRY ". SAVAGE has not been
- particularly active as a theatrical
manager in the course Of the past
season or so. He has had one or two
dabbled with a drama that did not
reach Gotham. Now. however, he
comes boldly forth as the producer of
"Pom- Pom" a new operetta starring
the inimitable Mizzi Hajos (Mitzi
hereafter). The premiere will occur
at the Cohan Theatre tomorrow
night.
So far as things theatrical can be
at all certain "Pom-Pom" will be
tremendously popular. In the hrst
placed. 1t has been hailed with acclaim
in Boston, In the second place, II con-
tains Mitzi. The public that enjoyed
"Ssri" will bs alone sufficient to make
Pom Pom" successful.
More plot is promised with Pom
Pom" than usually goes with three
act drama. IL concerns the adventure
of a prima donna who is Kidnapped
on the night Of her debut in the role
Of Pom-Pom, the pickpocket- Her break
from jail and adventures among a
gang OIL tnleNes Pro'iuc tHe thillo,
while Mitzi and Tom McNaughton will
furnish an accompaniment of comedy.
The music Is by Hugo Felix who,
from long residence, prefers to be
known as a French composer, though
he was born In the Hungarian domain.
Anne Caldwell wrote the book.
Josef Urban has contributed the
scenic settings, and George Marion
has staged the entire production Tho
piece had its origin in Hungary, but
that, it is said, is mere reminiscence.
Its outstanding figure will undoubtedly
be Mitzi, small as she Is, for she is
by turns priuia donna. jailbird, pick
pocket and hostage.
Instead of the usual tenor-soprano
waltz duet, an insidious waltz sung
by contralto and barytone is to be
introduced. Carl Gantvoort, lately OF
the Boston Grand Opera Company. and
Rita Dane, q new personality, are feat
ured in this innovation. Other names
that figure in the cast are Tom Walsh,
William Eville, Edith Day, Charles
Angelo. Eric Campbell, Ben Levi and
George Brugger
An orchestra Of thirty-two pieces will
be under the direction Of Max Bendix.
