Anita Stewart In
 Quaint Costumes In
 "The Girl Philippa'

Dainty Anita Stewart is delightful n the French peasant costumes in the Robert w. Cham bers story, 'The Girl Philippa," which Vitagraph pro- duced as a special eight-reel produc- ion under the direction of s. Rankin Drew.
 Miss Stewart is as charming, in these simple little costumes as one night dceam of being in the latest 'arisian dance frock.
 When she leaves her unpleasant home, she dons a short rel woolen spirit With three wide black velvet bands about the be tom, while her waist is a sheer white lawn covered by a black velvet bodice laced ir the front by white cording.
 Another frock is made with the high waistline, willie the skirt is fash toned entirely from a series of eight small ruffles each edged with mar row band of black velvet while the waist is formed almost entirely by a wide shawl collar, also edged with the velvet. The com bination of the ulack velvet and the yellow of the
 rcss itself is very dainty and effec- iEe. Over this frock Miss Stewart 3frops Q pale blue brocaded cape in | nlhe ber of scenes which is made with 8 two-tier effect above the vaist.

POLI'S

When Robert w. Chambers great novel, 'The Girl Philippa,' was a'oapt ed for the screen, Miss Anita stewart in the name part brought to that role all the grace and charm with Whlch Mr. Chambers had endeared his nero inc to millions. This was amply dem- onstrated at Polls yesterday when the big eight-part war drama was pre- sented to capacity audiences.
 .NThe Girl Philippa' is a story that has the world war for it's background. d. Miss Stewart as the girl essays the role of a cabaret cashier who IS re- ouired to spy on those who frequent her little cafe in France. How she holds the fate of empires in her hand forms the theme of this most interest ine drama. 1.-The Girl Philippa" is well worth seeing.
 Another screen feature in the pro- gram is the Hearst-Pathe News. which this week is aiding the police in their search for Ruth Cruger, the missing New York girl.
 ' Tn the vaudeville bill, a big feature is the Hong Kong Mysteries presented by Neck Suen. There are some start ling feats of magic presented, the disappearing duck stunt causing an unusual furOre.
 The Melody Six, a half dozen girl musicians, present a most artistic of- fering in a most artistic way. They have a varied program that is ably handled in a highly pleasing manner. Adams & Guhl, "blackface" come dians with their funny talk and songs. had no trouble in winning laughs, while the ONeil Twins, who sang and danced with lot of 'ipep,' completed the profgram in a delightful way.

PLAZA

The Plaza had a corking line of at fractions to offer it's patrons yester- day and despite the inclemency of the weather. the cosy playhouse was crowded to the doors at every per formance. We can't decide whether Frank Keenan in '"The Crab' or Will liam A. Hanlon, the great American clown, was the bigger drawing card, but since it is so many years since the latter has entertained a local audience, we will give him the ben eft of the doubt. The title of his skit in which he is assisted by a cast of four is 1.-The Railroad Hotel,'' and it is one of the cleverest novelties ever staged by a member of the famous Hanlon Family. The mirror stunt and the skeleton work were wonderfully well put over anth the theatre fairly rocked with laughter throughout the entire offering.
 Williams and Held were remem- bered and they certainly took their share of the laughs and the Gonors They have a black-face diversion which they choose to term ''The Roustabout and the Yaller Girl,' and the only fault to find with the piece is they ought to give one time to catch his breath between the laughs.
 Earl and Sunshine, pair of charm ingly pretty young women who, al- though they possess pleasing voices that are heard to advantage, succeed in putting over something new in the talking line that won them favor from the laugh-loving delegation in the audience
 Completing the vaudeville was the Fantino Trio and their line of feats was really remarkable
 The Crab" which, as we stated above. is the starring vehicle of Frank keenan, that peerless character actor Is an impressive bit of artistry. both rom development of story and pho- tography. Keenan has, as "The Crab. " probably the most powerful dramat tie role Of his career and he makes the most of all opportunities afforded him to display the talent that lies behind the heavy lines in that hard face.
 A Keystone comedy was greatly ap- preciated at the finish.

When did the Molly Maguires flourish in Pennsylvania and what was it's ob- ject?
 The Molly Maguires" was secret society which terrorized the mining districts of Pennsylvania from 1867 to 1877. It's object was apparently to con- trol the state and municipal politics.

 Where in the Ohio river was BIenrer- hassett's island7
 This island is in the Ohio river near Marietta It received it's name from its being inhabited by Harman Blen- nerhassett, a gentleman from Ireland, who built a home there at the begin ming of the last century. He was drawn into Aaron Burr's mysterious scheme, his island becoming the rendezvous of the expedition, and he was involved in the ruin of the reasonable project.
 Kindly tell me It there was ever an English pope, and, if so, who was he and when did he live?
 Pope Adrian ". was by birth an Englishman and the only one of that nation who ever occupied the papal chair. He was a native of Langley, near St. Albans, in Hertfordshire. He was born before A. D. HOO, and his real name was Nicholas Breakspear. He is said to have left England as a beggar and to have become a servant or lay brother in the monastery near Ayignon, France, where he studied with such diligence that in 1137 he was elected abbot. His merits soon became knowa to Pope Eugcnius H., who made him cardinal-archbishop of Alba in 1146 and sent him two years later as legate to Denmark and Norway, where he converted many inhabitants to Christianity. Soon after his return to Rome Nicholas was unanimously chosen pope against his own tnclina- tion in November, 1154. Henry II. of England, on hearing of his election sent an abbot of St. Albans and three bishops to Rome with his congratula- tions. Pope Adrian ". died in 1159.

to this city next Thursday the noted
lecture and motion pictures entitled
THE Troubles of a Merchant and
How To Stop Them The lecture

chant, clerk, and professional man

THE Troubles Of Merchant and
How to Stop Them" - the mistakes
that usually occur in the average
store, the Indifference among clerks
on account Of lack of proper super
vision, bad system, poorly arranged
stock-which resulted in losses and
leaks in the business and finally
caused the merchant to become dis
heartened and about to give up the
struggle. The merchants career
changed, however after he adopted q
system that gave him a proper check
on his goods and money, rearranged
his store and goods so that they at
tracted customers, and taught his
clerks how to become more efficient
through being courteous and atten-
tive to the trade. The lecture and pic
lures bring out many other ideas of
interest to the merchant, and are in

tions, and other business Organiza-

HIS BIT

tN nIb oll
He stood at the tellers gilded gate;
Feeble was he and old.
His coat was worn and his trousers
frayed
And he shivered bit with cold.
He shivered bit, though the day was
warm.
For the blood in his veins was thin,
And the passbook shook in the with
cred hand
That he slowly thrust within.
1T isn't much, but it's all have,
And it's every cent my own.
! want that we shall take 1t all
For share in the nations loan.
It's all have and it's cost me dear;
God knows how I've worked for it..
But I've heard the call and my an
swer's here.
It's a way can do my bit"
The old man fingered the parchment
stiff
The bond for his hoard Of gold.
A pitiful sum 1t seemed, forsooth
As a nations wealth is told.
A light leaped up in his dim blue eyes
And his threadbare shoulders
squared.
There was strength Of pride in his
very step
As into the street he Jared.
And who shall belittle that old mans
bit!
There Is none can surpass his all.
He gave the strength Of his long-lost
youth
When he answered the nations call.
And the heart of a patriot beat beneth
That coat that was i'll of fit
Have you of your competence done as
much!
Have you answered and done your
bit?"
