DOYLE AND DIXON
IN "CHIN CHM

The music of Ivan Caryll, which
serves to illustrate the story of "Chin
Chin" which is the attraction at the
Apollo this Friday and Saturday eve
nings and Saturday matinee, and in
which Doyle and Dixon demonstrate
their wonderful powers of drollery, to
say nothing of their skill in dancing,
is a demonstration of the wisdom of
serving the best kind of music even
to an extravaganza. In other words,
there is in "Chin Chin" one more proof
that good music pays.
Music and dancing are so closely
allied in these latter days that some
folks forget that while the latter is
the universal human expression by
movement of the limbs and body of a
sense of rhythm, which is implanted
about the primitive instincts of the
animal world, the former, beyond Ger
tain elementary facts of acoustics,
shows no direct connection with ma
ture independently of art.
1t is already art that determines Sc.
lection of these elementary acoustic
facts just as in painting, art deter
mines selection of those facts that
come under the c~ogniZance of optics.
Folk music and the present music OF

CAPTAIN LESLIE VICKERS.

Noted Captain Of the British Army and
Military Instructor at Columbia Uni
versity to Lecture at Local Chautau-
qua.
Probably the most thrilling lecture
ever presented here will be that Of
Captain Leslie kickers of the Royal
Scotch Fusileers, who will be the star
attraction oil the Chautauqua program.
Captain Vickers was pastor Of a
church in this country at the outbreak
OF the war, but at the first call of his
mother country returned to England
and enlisted In the cavalry. After the
6rst few months 1t became evident that
the cavalry would have to serve as a
dismounted branch in the service, and
Mr.. Fickers became captain In the
crack body of troops, the Scotch Fusi-
leers. where he served with great dis
hnction during the succeeding two
years of the war. He was wounded

the study of social evolution and an
cient history.
Greek music passed through Greco
Roman and early Christian phases to
become the foundation of the modern
art. Music as we now understand it,
expresses itself in the combination of
three elements-rhythm, melody and
harmony-the first two obviously as
ancient as human consciousness itself.
On the other hand, though dancing has
been developed and become an art, it
was in primitive days merely the vol
untary application of rhythmic princi-
pies. The rhythmic principle of mo-
ton extends through the universe, gov
erning the lapse of waves, flow of tides,
reverberations of light and sound and
the movement Of the celestial bodies.
Music is not an essential part of dan
cling, although it almost invariably ac-
companies it even in the crude form
of a rhythm beaten out on a drum.
While dancing is therefore ii in a
primitive n "a series of natural
movements, the art of music may be
called its foster-sister.

SPOkANE'S FIRST EASTMAN
 DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR WAR

SPOKANE, Wash, Dec. 5.-Earl Sheely of Spokane, 1917 Salt Lake first baseman, had been discharged as physically unfit to fight for the United States. Sheely recently went to Camp Lewis with a contingent from Spokane He was to have gone with the first contingent but the gov ernor of Utah obtained a leave for Sheely because Salt Lake was then contending for the pennant in the Coast league.
 The same poorly set right ankle fracture which probably prevented Sheely from going into the big league, also prevented the tall first baseman from passing his phyisacl examination at Camp Lewis.
