POTATO PRICES TO "HIT SKY"
May Reach SO or 81 Bushel Before
Winter Is Over-War Blamed, in
Part, for Shortage

The scarcity OF white potatoes may
boost the price to SO or even "a a bushel
before the winter is over.
Reasons advanced by commission men
and dealers for the absence OF the spud
from the market are the/drought. short
acreage. high price of seed potatoes and
fertilizer. The war, preventing the import
OF potash from Germany, has hindered
greatly the cultivation Of potatoes.
There is apparently no hope for the
consumer.

PLAZA.

Yesterday established a new att tendance record for the season at the Plaza and there is little doubt but that Will J. Ward and his Five Sym phony Girls may justly take the credit although they had a splendid bill to support them.
 MT. Ward and his quintette of charmers have singing and piano ext -avaganza into which there has been just enough terpsichorean daintiness blended to make it one of the most highly delightful and uniquely entertaining offerings that has ever held the boards of the popu- lar playhouse. It takes encore after encore at every performance and you should make every effort to see it to- night.
 Gold and Seal. a clever pair of steppers who feature some novel roll er-slate dances; Stetson and Huber in a singing, talking and dancing skit with plenty of fun interspersed and Will E. Missem and company in a comedy juggling novelty complete the vaudeville.
 Hone" a five part Triangle ITO duction with Bessie Barriscale, the talented emotional star; Charles Ray, Clara Williams, Louise Glaum and George Fisher, featured in splendid roles. is the main photo attraction.

TALKING MACHINE RECORDS

The Tannhauser Overture, Parts 1 and 2, from Wagner's "Tannhauser," has just been put in record form by Columbia.
 The intricacies of this Wagnerian composition have never been inter- preted with more masterful skill than by Princes Symphony Orchestra. No more vivid picture could be painted than the introduction to Part l, the impressive Pilgrims Chorus. It would seem that the very instruments them- selves reflet the spiritual power that inspired Tannhauser on his journey of pennance to Rome.
 The very zenith of musical descrip- tive art is reached in Part 2. The in- troductory theme wildly portrays the return of the pilgrims, chanting as they march. Then the sombre relig- ious motif is lost in the tempestuous musical battle fought between the stately Pilgrim Chorus and the pas- sionate Venusberg motif. The relig- ious theme prevails and all instru- ments blend their voices in the tri- umphant hymn that marks the grand finale of the Overture.
 Such an inspiring performance by symphony orchestra is a revelation even to the most sophisticated music al ear.
 Keep a Place Down in Your Heart for Ireland" late Columbia record ing, is an intermingling of American patriotism and Irish loyalty: The ad- vice of an Americanized Irishman to his Irish-American son.
 The melody is typfcally Irish, but 6iffaront in, toYr,no fro,,, +l,o ,,.,, al popular Irish songs. De Los Becker tenor voice that is admirably adapted to the song.
 Here is brimming measure of good cheer for the record lover.
 Mama Kea Medley" is another charming Hawaiian guitar duet played played by Helen Louise and Frank Ferera, and recorded by Columbia.
 It will interest admirers of South Pacific melody to know that the Ha waiian guitar is really the ordinary American instrument. Instead of be- ing held upright by the left hand. the guitar is laid flat across the knees. Metal, thimble-like picks are worn on the fingers of the right hand to evoke melody from the strings, while the left hand fingers the frets by passing down the strings with a metal bar three inches long and approximately one-quarter of aa incn thick The bar is slid up and down the strings. which produces the, singing effect so char acteristic of Hawaiian music
 Mama Kea Medley is a combina ton of beauteous harmonies quite diff ferent from those Hawaiian melodies we have enjoyed listening to. in the past.
