AT THE ILLINOIS.

Adele, which current report ofsd-
its with being one of the most delight
full musical plays the stage has shown
IN many seasons, will be presented at
the Illinois theatre Monday night bv
an organization of singers and coined
ians chosen from among those who
participated in the long run enioved
by the play at the Longacre theatre in
New York, and others who were sent
to London where adele" scored an
unusual success that was only inter
rupted by the war. The play is hest
described as farce with music and is
a free adaptation from the French
made by Adolf Philip and Edward A
Paulton, who are responsible also for
lhe Girl Who Smiles" Alma" and
other similar successes. The music nj
Adele" is most melodious and has
me catchy quality so eagerly sought
by composers for musical comedy en-
tertainments. There are % songs
winch have a part in telling the story
OF the play Of these the adele.
waltz song is perhaps the most non
uiar, as it has been favorite dance
number for two seasons. The scenic
ana costume production is admittedly
as nne as any ever shown in This stvIa
OF performance.

the Humming- Bird" in which Charles
Cherry, the distinguished Frohman
star, is introduced to the motion pic
ture public in a paramount picture
produced by the Famous Players Film
company. This screen adaptation of
the play by Isaac Henderson, which is
the attraction at the Majestic tonight,
abounds in suspense, in scenes of grip
ping intensity, and in moments Of
GREATNESS dramatic thrill, as three
strong wills clash in the struggle for
mastery. The delightful acting of Lii
liam Tucker, the self-effacing art of
Arthur Hoops in his wonderful inter
probation of the thankless. role of
D'Orelli, and the powerful though SYM
pathetic Interpretation of Giuseppe by
William Sorelle render complete the
enjoyment of the excellent work of Mr..
Cherry.

MOTHER JONESTO
SPEAK HERE SOON
Woman Leader i'm Coal Miners Cause
Secured to Give Lecture Under
Auspices OF Federation.
PLANS FOR MONSTER MEETING
Tri.City Organization Arranging
Campaign TO tniOnize More OF
Workers in Locality.

Il was announced at the regular
meeting of the Tri-City Federation OF
Labor last night at Industrial hall
that Mother" Jones, noted union
worker, would be in Rock Island to
deliver an address Sunday afternoon,
Feb. -. The executive committee OF
the federation was authorized to make
arrangements for the meeting. The
meeting will not be held at Industrial
hall. as those in charge fear the build
ing will be inadequate. Either the
Eagles hall or Illinois theatre will
probably be engaged.
Mother" Jones, who is in her saith
year. is one of the most striking fig
ures in the labor world today and has
been actively affiliated with the min
ers' unions for many years. Her hus-
band. at one time a coal digger, was
killed in a mine about thirty-five years
ago and it was at this time she de-
cided TO devote the rest of her life to
the cause of labor. She is fiery
speaker and the local meeting will no
doubt be largely attended.
Raise Campaign Funds.
Almost the entire time of the
meeting last night was devoted to
discussion Of an organization cam
paign to be held in the tri-cities.
Ways and means and methods to be
used in unionizing the unorganized
were discussed and many plans were
advanced by the delegates. This or
ganization movement will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 to $4,000 to
finance, and the money will be raised
by the unions affiliated with the fed
Grafton. On March Is, every union
man or woman whose union is a men,
Der of the federation will give one
hours pay to this general fund from
the third hour of that day. If one as
sessment fails to raise the required
amount the levy will be repeated. The
campaign is TO be put under way
within the next few weeks and the
American Federation of Labor will
send organizers here to assist the
central body and assume part of the
expense.
Every delegate present last night
was asked the membership in his un.
ion, its dues, wage scale and other
data to be used in the campaign.
Water in Basement.
Yesterday morning it was feared
that the federation would be unabl,
to hold its meeting, as the cellar il
the Industrial home had been flooded
for several days, extinguishing tn,
fires in the boiler and tenants wer,
without heat. With several pumps OF
the job, however, the men succeeded
in getting most of the water out ant
fire was started again yesterday after
noon.

Red Feather Picture is Tale of the
West.

Red Feathers latest release, "a
Knight of the Range starring Harry
D. Carey, is a picture in which real
western stuff predominates.
The story concerns the love affairs
of Bess Dawson and Bob Graham.
Bob is a weakling, and Gentleman
Dick, a gambler, plans his downfall
because he loves Bess himself.
Then there is Cheyenne Harry, an
other lover of the girl, who, because
he thinks so much of her, does all he
can to help Bob. He even takes the
blame when a stage is held up, but the
truth leaks out.
Bob shows his real character when
he tries to incriminate Harry before
Bess and he is forced to flee a posse.
In a fight he is killed, and Bess dis
covers she really loves Cheyenne Har-
ry best of all.

And picture dreams idyllic Of dolce far

They may rapture over the Shannon,

OF the noble Rhine, the turgid Seine,
and others quite worth while
These they may sing in prose and rhyme,
at home and oversee,
But, after all, the winding Snake is
good enough for mel
No lordly castles grace its banks, no
barques e 'er sail its stream;
Nor poets Tyre has e'er yet made of it
the chosen theme; s i.
It's names not writ in romance. and
even less in rhyme,
1t follows its course in plasid ease, OBJ
livious of all time;
Let them sing their Thames and Tibers,
as well their bonny Lee,
I'll allegiance vow to the winding Snake
it s good enough for me!

He's gentle, he is kind; III never, never
A better friend than old dog Tray.
The forms I called my own have vanish

The loved ones, the dear ones have
all passed away;
Their happy smiles have flown, their
gentle voices gone,
have nothing left but old dog TRAY.

Although he cannot speak, / vainlv.

Pony Boys Must Hustle

These are the harvest DAYS for pony
votes. Are you workingi You viii
never have q better chance to win. Do
mot let day slip by. Do not wait
until tomorrow or next day, but keen
right on hustling. Get right after your
friends and line them up to save ponv
votes for you.
Explain to them how pony votes are
to be, had and how to get them. You
will be surprised how many votes YOU
can roll up by persistent effort. Your
friends and neighbors will have to trade
somewhere and it will cost them NO
more to trade at the Pony Stores and
save votes for you. It is not hard to
gather up Pony Votes. Just take a
ginger pill and make special effort
during the remainder of the campaign.
People will admire your earnest
work and help you when they see you
are determined to win. Bear in mind
that the only way you can secure q
gold watch or the pony outfit is to 20
out among your friends and get them
to trade where they can secure the
vote tickets and then call and get the
votes OF them. Every child is going to
have square deal and an equal chance
to secure prize. There will be no
special vote days, no deviation from the
regular schedule and no favors shown.
If you have not already won a watch it
is no indication that you will not have
enough votes to win the pony outfit at
the end Of the campaign. No one. can
tell who the winner will be until the
end and you might be right near the
top of the list, SO keep right in the
game until the finish, and if you should
not win-go down with your flag flying.
