TEMPLE THEATRE
WAS CROWDED
Performance of "A Day on Coney
Island" Last Night was a
Huge Success

The Temple theater was crowded
for the performance of "a Day on
Coney Island" last night, and the en-
tertainment was huge success. Mrs.
Carolyn Elinor Staley was immediate
ly responsible for the success of the
show, which was given under the aus
pices of the educational department
of the Woman's Club, of which Mrs.
James Hicks Hill is chairman. Much
credit is due to all who took part.
The first chorus featured Miss Les
lie jackson and Mr.. Rae Ferguson,
and very attractively dressed girls
and boys, and the song "If You Only
Had My Disposition" was well done.
A "Babyland" song and drill, done
by over fifty little tots dressed in
white and red, was beautifully done.
Miss Frances Clark led the drill.
Much amusement was caused by
the clicks Family from Skeeterville. >
Mr.. A. E. Gerig and Miss Downs did
Paw" and Nav" respectively, and
Mr.. Charles Lloyd and Miss Mabel
Aiken "Bud" and Mary"
Miss Sidney Harold, assisted by a
chorus in red, sang WRAP Me in a
Bundle, Dear" and the feature was
greatly enjoyed. The chorus left the
stage and danced down the aisles of
the auditorium.
Mr.. D. S. Woodrow and Mrs. S. T.
Sistrunk, as Mr.. and Mrs. Davis, and
Miss Sue Moore as Lillian Russell,
were most favorably received.
Miss Franklin Harvey and Mr..
Robert Anderson as MADAM Sherry
and "Jack Clifford" were splendid.
The patriotic chorus, america,
Love You," was extremely good. Miss
Marguerite Porter sang the solo part
with her usual ease. The chorus was
dressed in patriotic colors, and she as
Columbia.
Mrs. Seymour, as an old maid, with
her nephew, and Mrs. Wetehrbee, also
visitor to the island, were most ac-
ceptab1e.
Miss Louise Rentz and Mr.. Sybold
Wilson as the country bride and
groom, honeymooning at Coney, made
hit.
The Italian chorus, in their song,
"On the Shores of Italy," made a
pretty picture in their gay skirts and
head-dresses, supported as usual by
the men who were also brightly at
tired.
Miss Marguerite Porter as Miss
Anise Elderbloom, a stage struck
young lady, had an interview with
"George Cohan," (Mr. Lester Lucas)
and acquainted him with the fact that
she had played to advantage, and had
come to take the part of "Juliet" in
Coney. This little skit was also good,
and the German monologue by "Jacob
Switzlebaum (Mr. Jake Gerig) was
one of the best things of the evening.
Mr.. Gerig in his speech got off num-
Der of good local hits, especially on
the various candidates for office.

SNOWFALL was scream. She was as

AUsTRIANs VICTORIOUS

The Austrians report a continuation
of their advance in the Southern
Tyrol. Vienna reports the Teutons
crossed the Posina river west of Ar
siero, capturing the heights on the
southern bank. A current Rome state
ment apparently reporting this same
operation claims the Italians were
able to retain their positions despite
violent Austrian attacks. The Aus
trians also claim the capture of Ital-
ian works at Puntac 0rdin and the
repulse of Italian attacks south of
Bettale.

GERMANS. CAPTURED. FRENCH
TRENCHES


London, May, 31.-French positions
on front of approximately two miles
extending from the southern ridge OF
Deadman's Hill, to Cumieres, north
west of Verdun, have been captured
by the Germans, according to Berlin
The Germans have also pressed for
ward in the region of Thiaumont
wood, northeast of Verdun. These
gains are partly admitted by Paris
The Germans claim to have captured
more than thirteen hundred prisoners
around Dead Mans hill; at Cumieres
the violent bombardment is still in
progress.
The Austrians have begun another
great offensive against the Italians
in the Posina region, southwest OF
Posina, and farther north along the
upper reaches of the Astico river
Rome reports that near Posina the
Italians have maintained their posi-
tions in the face of heavy Austrian
assaults. In the Lagrina valley the
Austrians are bombarding the Italian
trenches.
The Russians have repulsed the Ger
man attack northwest of Augustinhof,
on the eastern front Near Gliadki, in
Galicia, the Austrians have driven
the Russians from their trenches, but
were driven out again by the Rus
slams in counter attacks. Petrograd
says the situation on the Armenian
front is unchanged.
Constantinople reports that the
Turks have captured British prison
ers in a surprise attacks near Felahie.
Mesopotamia. Berlin announces that
Germans are with the Bulgarians in
the invasion of Greece, which was
made to guard against surprise at
tack which was being planned by the
Allies.

FLINTLoCK THEORIES FOOLISH

after this war we shall see new

veloping new social and economic
means of meeting new problems. If,
under these circumstances, we take
refuge in formulae dug out from the
wreckage of principles in the past, in
stead of developing these principles
SO as to meet the future, we shall be
as foolish as if we were to arm our
soldiers with fiintlocks and send them
against an army possessing machine

artillery. The time for fintlock

NATIONAL MEN NEEDED

"The people must choose as their
executive and legislative leaders at
Washington" Col. Roosevelt said
"men absolutely national in spirit;
men whose theory of government is
as far as the poles from the pork
barrel theory-and this, whether the
pork-barrel be considered from per-
sonal, political or sectional stand
point; men who look forward and not
back; men who face the facts as they
actually are.

ing to his feet, we can fool those
English and capture their ships all by
ourselves if you fellows will just fol-
low me-. Then he explained what
they were to do. Harold knew all the
army bugle calls and had an instru-
ment with which he could send the
notes trembling far over the river, so
he ran home for it, while Benny ex-
planned the plan to the others. Fred
was an expert at drumming and hap
pened to have brought his best one
along.
My plan is this said Benny. We
must make the British believe that the
American troops have just arrived, but
the best plan will be not to do the
work till after sunset Then We can
manage it easily. Now all of us get to
work and build big bonfires on all of
the eight hills in sight. That will
keep us busy till supper, and after you
fellows have had supper. come here as
quickly as you can. That captain will
think we have 10000 troops here and
father can make him surrender
So all the hot afternoon the four
boys worked like beavers dragging
brush and dead planks to the top of
the hills till each one was crowned
with hugle pile of brush. The Eng.
lish ships lay still in the bend of the
river and did not notice anything un.
usual going on around them.
But as soon as darkness crept over
the land big bonfires began to POP
out. First one then another blazed
forth till every hill was beacon light
Then Benny had Harold walk along
the meadow sounding his bugle as il
calling troops to camp. while Fred on
another lowland beat his drum loudly
as If he were carrying orders to sol
diers
. All night there were to be heard the
shrill calls of bug1e and the stately
roll of a drum echoing from the hills

Benny Brown sat on the bank of
the river down in Georgia fishing.
Benny was sleepy, for the sun shone
warmly on the water, but the howl of
animals back in the forests kept him
awake-for it was more than 100 years
ago that Benny lived, and he was lad
right in the midst of the excitement
of the Revolutionary War.
So as his cork pobbed. his head
nodded. Then suddenly he sat up and
gazed in wonder, for around the bend
in the river came four stately ships of
war. On board he could see big guns
peeping over the side and men in blue

knees
