PLAZA.

That Charley Chaplin spoke the truth when he said that Police" is the funniest picture in which he has ever posed will be attested by anyone who had the good fortune to gain ad- mission to the Plaza at some perform ance yesterday where the picture was ebing shown as one Of the feature at- fractions. Chaplin, as the title might indicate, gets into a mix-up with po- lice and the result is just one scream iof laughter throughout.
 The vaudeville program is headed by ssThe FSoI1ies of Vaudevi11e,'' a. merry musical comedietta with seven capti- waiting young women and two men in the cast. The act is out of the ordi-
 nary run of acts of it's type and fea.- lures the Dunn Sisters.
 'fThe Old-Tine DarkieS'' has a rep ertoire of songs that was the rarest treat of the season. They are four col
 ored folk and their imitation of a cal Hope brought rounds of applause.
 King and Ward are two clever young people with a very funny skit that pleased immensely while the ''Absolam Sharin Arabs,'' a troupe of six pyra- mid guilders and ground tumblers in a whirlwind exhibition complete the vaudeville.
 1 Going Straight 8 hve-part Trian- gle play with Norma Talmadge, Ralph Lewis and an all-star cast was shown
 The story of Going Straight con- cerns the efforts of a pair of society
 crooks to live down the past by lead 1 ing upright lives and the many hard
 ships they endure at the hands of their
 former associates.

BIRTH OF A NATION''
 COMING TO THE LYRIC

Griffith's big spectacle tfThe Birth of a Nation will come to the Lyric week of July 8, with daily matinees. There will be a big orchestra of 2? pieces and a small army of effect pro- ducers behind the scenes Thus it will be seen that this gigantic produc- ton is to be presented here just as it was viewed by the people of Boston, Chicago, New York and other cities.
 The picture is dramatization of Dixon's f'The C1ansman.'' Its chief in cidents are history. The incident of the negro is responsible for the for nation of the Klux Klan which chases the carpet baggers out of the South and rehabilitates the Southland.
 Few people know into what a la mentable situation the South fell nearly ten years after Appomatox. whites were disfranchised because of their part in the war and Southern States were governed by a combina- ton of newly franchised negroes and carpet baggers from the North whose of the South regained control of the country is one of the most dramatic passages in our history.
 teThe Birth of a Nation is said to contain Is .O00 people and 3, 900 horses Nothing so spectacular has yet been shown upon the screen. For the first time in the history of films you see the great historical conflict pass be- fore you. The Burning of Atlanta, Sherman's March to the Sea; Victory of the North; Grant and Lee at Ap- pomatox; Reconstruction TrouH-e les; Love and Romance of History; Ire mendous battle scenes; The Lincoln Tragedy; Dauntless rides of the Ku KIux KIan; tender domestic drama and charming comedy, and the dawn of the "New Nation"
 Owing to the tremendous patron 1<,, I0n SH ed upon this massive screen spectacle during it's local engagement, patrons are warned to secure their seat reser- vations at the earliest possible mo- ment for the attendance at the Lyric theatre will positively be greater than this city has ever known before, either for a production of the spoken stage or the silent drama, especially as special low prices will prevail, less than half charged heretofore.

IN PHILADELPHIA.

A famous and agreeable example of Philadelphianism is the geographi- cal, restrictions as to the district where polite life may be led; you may search the world without finding any thing comparab1e to the feeling in Philadelphia concerning the regions north of Market Street.
 There is an apocryphaI story of a delightful and famous old lady who had seen here and there at afternoon parties younger woman whose look Finding herself one day descending some of the best white-marb1e door steps in company with this agreeable stranger, the elder lady suggested dri- wing her home, and they stepped to- gether into the snug brougham, drawn by an equally sleek, fat coach man.
 James, we will drive Mrs. x home'' was the only order given
 The brougham started, and for a period, while it's occupants chatted pleasantly, wandered somewhat aim Iessly through the very best streets. At last it's owner, vaguefy disturbed said, apologetically:
 'T am afraid James doesn't know where you live It is annoying; he always knows where everybody lives I apologize for having to ask such a question, but where do you live, my dear ?''
 Her. charming companion smiled

FLAG DAY THOUGHTS.

Many patriotic people of recent years have been thinking about how the flag, as the national symbol, can be made the object of warmer affec- ton, and as a result of this feeling. June IA has for 19 years been .cele- brated as Flag Day.
 One reason why the love for the flag is a sentiment that needs active cultivations is that national spirit is crossed and dinmed by state spirit. Our country includes a vast range of territory, with the most diverse ele- ments of population whose economic interests are different. These diver gent elements have been held togethr by granting a large degree of local self control.
 By allowing the people of each To- cality to settle home concerns, a great deal of friction is avoided But the result of this wise policy is to obscure the power and influence of the federal government. There are many people whose hearts or emotions are never touched by a symbol expressing g 8 power so remote from daily life.
 Yet the flag and the power back of it stand for popular government, the exclusion from our politics of those m monarchical ideas that have brought the old world to grief. It seems peace full development of our resources, education for all. equal opportunity so far as human nature permits, a freedom from arbitrary interference l by government.
 every day existence than it used to. l It's experts show us how to till our soils. its money develops water courses and brings o,1t resources and | it protects us from Inenacing foreign | aggression. Flag Day is an occasion l when the schools and other agencies I should emphasize the real meanings of our America, and urge all to emu | late the noble qualities of those who created this symbol 139 years ago.

EMPIRE

The relentless pursuit of the mighty dollar has at last been picturized in true and bold colors by the Fam ous Players company, as shown in The Evil Thereof, the powerful five part Paramount masterpiece featuring Frank Lossee and an all star cast of players which will head the programs this evening and tomorrow at the Empire theatre, the home of first run Paramount and Metro masterpieces
 The story contained in '"The Evil Thereof" possesses extraordinary in terest because three individual plots are welded together, culninating into a great climax. It is designed to show the tragedies and the miseries that exist in the background of life. and that are the real cost of money. The exposition of the drama centres about a gay millionaire's party given in honor of his guests to whom he presents 300 dollar bills. As each bill is presented as a souvenir the picture fades out and shows the his tory of each bill The tragedy, the struggles and the misery attached to the bills are depicted and as the story of the last bill is shown, the picture shows the woman whom has been the victim of one of 1ife's many tragedies,

MULES AND RELIGION
(Kansas City star)


 The struggles of Indian boys in the different schools with the English language are revealed in batch of letters in the possession of A. s. Wyly, superintendent of Indian schools in 2 Oklahoma.
 An Indian boy on a farm wrote: 'tI am not going to use those mule teams any longer than I can help. They 1n- Jure my religion. I havt to scold get them a-going on such speed as l want them. These facts are true, to be wit, by God"
 '.I have just received your good Sarsaparilla letter and your picture ' wrote another ssI can feel that it is purifying and enriching the letter and the. picture. acting gently on my liver and framer. Write me, am in love with the truth.
 Another Indian boy placed on a farm wrote a letter of objection to that kind of labor, and a gentle conn plaint as to the wages he received.
 My honored school father and friend,'' he wrote to Supt. Wyly, ttnow am going to write you this day and inform you how like my place First of all matters I would say earnestly ] don't like it I think the trouble is ] am too big for him. because he told me right before my face, he said he would rather have a small boy, so he can give him SC or ST a month for his labor This was when I first came to this place and ever since he has had same opinion
 Another thing he can't give me higher wages. he wouldn't do it for any man, and yet the tight-wad wants me to work on two farms and yet he only gives me $1O a month, gracious life. A woman can get more as $10 a month keeping house. I would rather be housekeeper than work on two farms at $10 a month";
 An Indian boy from the Snake set clement tries to tell the superintendent he is tired of school and would rather go back to the tepee- He is not the first. boy who has played sick to get away from school, but no schoolboy ever voiced it in such quaint language
 My dear friend school father, he wrote. Particularly I am endeavor. ing to assume a splendid opportunity to say just coneisely to you on this beautiful morning. I suppose you recognize that am sick in my gib lets. I5deem Tam well again no more I want you to let me go home as sooI as this month. If stay here so lont [ can't be entirely well, maybe SOL

an then mentioned a number in North Broad street-it may even have been Spring Garden Street-an address in the unmentionable regions. The Philadelphian-for we can no longer so designate the younger woman took the blow of ga1lantry. The pleasant chat was resumed, but for at least a quarter of an hour more the sleek fat horse still anbled aim1ess- Iy through the very best district. At last the elder lady rose to the situa- ton. She tapped the glass, and, as the sleek, fat coachman, halted, said 1:

'Old-timers' share honors with the later day favorites in an excellent program at Polls the last half of the week.
 Adrian C. Anson ('tPop"), who was the idol of baseball fans in this great little nation way back wonder, is one of the 'old timers who bellies the name. Though Pop hit over 400 some 25 years ago, he's as spry as the youngsters of today-as he amply at tested by doing a few fancy steps to
 Turkey in the Straw The grand old leader of baseball has his two charm ing daughters with him in pleasing vaudeville novelty, largely built around baseball things, but equally in teresting to others than rabid fans. :. Pop" has an interesting little story, illustrated by the movies, in which the stars of other days are compared to the stars of today, and his daughters sing most p1easingly. The veteran and his versatile daughters were given a most pleasing reception.
 Another pair of 'old timers are Fred Ha1len & Mo11ie Fuller, for years vaudeville favorites. They have an allegorical satire on fame, 'fThe Corridor of Time,'' in which the stage celebrities of other days are presented. These wonderful entertainers are just as pleasingetoda as they were a score of years ago when they did their hap py act at the old Hawes opera house. Aney were warmly greeted aL the out set and were in highest favor as they concluded their charming offering.
 Quite in contrast with these old time entertainers, is the new million dollar comedian Charley Chaplin in his latest screen scream Police The ininitable Charley has a, whole lot of fun with 8 police department and the picture is a laugh from start to fin ish.

The Vivians, worlds crack sharp shooters, gave an interesting demon stration of dexterity with the rifles. accomplishing some wonderful shots. MT. Vivian has recently returned from an army mission to Europe
 Montgomery & Perry-the former recently of Montgomery & Moore stepped right out and scored a distinct success with a very pleasing arrange ment of comedy and songs. They are both clever entertainers and did well with some very fine material.
