Change At Hlppodrome Today.
The same program that was present.
edSat the Red Cross Benefit matinee
today will be repeated tonight at the
Hippodrome. It's introduction gives
the various members of the company
opportunity to appear in parts that
are even better than those in which
they were seen during the week. The
show,has a number of unique bits that
are bound to create unusual merri.
ment and still further brand Lyons
america Maids as one Of the better
organizations playing the Gus Sun
Circuit. There are many features
about 1t that commend it to lovers of
musical comedy ard the funny men
with the company essay their parts
with the right amount of snap. The
chorus is as "gingery" as any that
have appeared here this season and
some Of them have excellent voices.
This is particularly true of Pauline
Avis and Ruby Davis, both OF whom
have appeared in specially numbers
during the week, which were well re.
ceived. Nat Danizig, a new member, is
q pleasing addition. His monologue,
dancing and singing are so different
from the accustomed style that makes
his work one Of the attractive features
OF the entertainment.

Landmark In Progress.

"The significance of this cannot bc
overstated. It is new thing in ou
history and a landmark in our prog
ress. 1t is a new manner of accep ing
and vitalizing our duty to give our
selves with thoughtful devotion to the
common purpose of us all. 1t is nc
sense a conscription of the unwilling;
it is rather, selection from nation
which has volunteered in mass. It Is
no more a choosing of those who shall
march with the colors than it is a
selection of those who shall serve al
equally necessary and devoted purposa
in the industries that lie behind the
battle line.
"The day here named Is the time
upon which all shall present them.
selves for assignment to their tasks.
1t is for that reason destined to be re.
membered as one of the most conspic.
uous moments in our history. 1t Is
nothing less than the day upon which
the manhood of the country shall step
forward in one solid rank in defense
of the ideals to which this nation is
consecrateI. 1t is important to those
ideals no less than to the pride of this
generation in manifesting its devotion
to them that these be no gaps in the
ranks.
"It is essential that the day be ap.
preached in thoughtful Apprehension
of its significance and that we accord
to it the honor and the meaning tai
it deserves. Our industrial need pre-.
scribes that it be not made technical
holiday, but the stern secrifice is be-
fore us, urges that 1t be carried in ali
cur hearts as a great day of patriotic
devotion and obligation when the duty
shall lie upon every man, whether he
is himself to be registered CT not, to
see to it that the name of every male
person of the designated ages is writ
