have A HEART wins ALL

day afternoon and night had the
pleasure Of seeing az The Playhouse

most delightful musical comedies ever
staged in this city. II was Henry

that some Of the catchy songs Of the
new comedy will soon be whistled
all over Broadway and ground out on
countless records of monographs.
Mr.. Savage came to Wilmington to
witness the opening production of his
newest success. for which he had
selected q high class company, in
cluding some OF the most attractive
young sSomen ever presented in musi-
cal comedy, who were stunningly
gowned, too.
The thread OF the play is unraveled
from SchOonmaker's department
store. Schoonmakers generous "have-
a-heart" policy toward his employees
furnishing the name. There is a
tinge of romance through il all, end
ing In the reconciliation Of Schoon-
maker and his wife. Billy Van. as
the elevator conductor and later love-
lorn exponent of nght-life, is the
great comedy maker OF the show.
Eileen Van Biene as Peggy Schoon-
maker, Louise Dresser as Dolly Bra
bacon. Donald Mcdonald as Ted Shell
don. Lenora Navasio as Lizzie
O'Brien, Thurston BSll as Nhoon-
maker, Flavia Arcaro as Mrs. Pyne,
James Bradbury as Matthew Pyne.
Roy Gordon as Captain Owens, and
in fact the entire company were far
above the ordinary, and the result
was a most enjoyable performance.

/ ing room only, al night.

Jena a Town of Contrasts.

Jena is q town Of comfortable con-
trasts Intellectually progressive, she
is physically most conservative. The
leaders of thought fling the most ad-
yanccd ideas in social philosophy back
and forth over their dinner tables, but
those tables are laden with large meals
cooked after the exact fashion that
they have been cooked in German Bo-
hemia for the last 200 years. The good
professor will follow any intellectual
concept that convinces his profoundly
logical mind but he will stick to his
grandfather's style Of pie in the face
of all opposition and Indigestion. Some
one might trace an interesting and In
structive relationship between German
pie and German pessimism.
The contrast between old manner
and new thought runs all through
Jena. Here is one of the most famous
of European universities; here are
philosophers and metaphysicians Of the
most daring and radical type, and oil
about them IS an old picturesque city
whose comfortable burgher class Is
quite untouched by all the intellectual
fireworks that flash from the university
grounds.

How Parrots Kiss.

Parrots, it is declared, are the most
Unsuitable of kissers, distinction
once supposed to belong to the turtle
dove.
They can kiss q thousand times an
hour, and they can keep 1t up-as OBJ
servations have revealed - for SIX
hours. Prof. FL. G.. Walters Of Lang
horne, Pa, made this discovery by ac-
tual count while spying on the love-
making of pair of parrots recently.
The professor discovered that a love-
note warble accompanies each separate
kiss. The singing and kissing was all
done on the rainiest, darkest, most
blustery and gloomy day of the month.
The seance began before 8 n. m., and
the notes rivaled those of goNlfinch
in brilliancy.
The species Of parrot thus reported
unon Is from Australia, and is of very
brilliant and gorgeous plumage.

Many Measures Failed.
Only Two OF Wilson Program
Proper Escaped Final Tangle.

Washington, March 4.-Of all the
legislation on the Administration pro-
gram proper only two measures, the
Revenue Bill and the measure giving
civil government to Porto Rico and
American citizenship to its inhabit-
ants, got through the Legislative tan
gle at the close of the session. One
of the most important enactments OF
the three months of the session, the
immigration bill, passed both houses,
despite the Presidents announced
objection and then was passed again
by both over his veto.
Among the Administration bills
which failed were the measures to
supplement the Adamson law, the
bill to enlarge the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the Webb bill to
legalize joint foreign selling agencies
and conservation legislation, includ-
ing the general dam bills and water
power bills.
Bills which did not form part OF
the original program, but which
were pressed unsuccessfully by Cabi-
net officers and Administration lead
ers late in the session, included
amendments to the Shipping act to
give the President power to COM
mandeer ships; a drastic espionage
bill which passed the Senate, but
was never taken up in the House,
and amendments to the Federal Re-
serve act to increase reserve bank
gold holdings and decrease member
bank reserves.
Congress provided for the payment
of $25, 100000 for the Danish West
Indies, but the Senate failed to ratify
despite an urgent request by the
President, the treaty to pay Colombia
$15, 100000 for the separation OF
Panama.

POSTMASTER INVITES
PROBE OF OFFICE
MIR. Prior Hints Plainville
Hotel Sold Liquor to
Soldiers.

IT am over-anxious to have the
postoffice authorities investigate the
alleged claim that l have taken an
undue interest in politics. This is @
statement made this morning by Post
master Peter Prior of Plainville. ALSO
they may investigate the charges of
more sensational nature If they wish.
but let me add that there will be moro
than one inspector here. there will be
a secret service man present to inves-
tigate selling of liquor by local hotel
men to soldiers and sailors in service,
which is in direct violation of the law,
and then it will be they, and not l,
who will show signs of nervousness.
Mr. Prior admits that last fall he
made this statement to James Murphy,
owner of one of the Plainville en-
poriums: eff you oppose the pur-
chasing of voting machines this year
I will oppose you and your lieutenants
in your fight for license at the next
election" Furthermore, he stated to-
day that he was ready to back up any
statement that he made, and would
fight it to the last ditch. During MS
conversation with a Herald reporter
he asserted that his career, socially,
politically and otherwise was open to
investigation at any time and that he
had always been above board in his
dealings.
The controversy between Postmaster
Prior is an echo of the recent political
battle between the VETS and the
"drys' in which the "drys' won a
victory by "A majority ;,
Several of the other prominent GU
izens of the town are of the opinion
that the effort to dethrone Prior is
| the result of the license party belnS
forced to the wall at the last election.
They consider the "wets' are poor
| sports and hard losers.
