THE SWEET OLD
SUSQUEHANNA
Suggested by Tome Institute'
EDWARD De LACOUR, Sci.

! am dreaming now today,
OF a cottage far away.
In the shadow Of quaint old
water mill,
Where the sunshine from above,
Sheds its kisses sweet as love,
On the merry laughing ripple and
the rill;
Where the moon still softly smiles,
In her dear old fashioned style,
On the lovers in the halo Of the
glow;
Oh, why did / ever roam,
From my childhood's happy home
Where the sweet old Susquehanna
flows.
There's a song that comes TO me,
Ger the mountain Wild and free
And its music falls the softest on
my ear;
'Tis the song love so we'll,
As II echoes thru the dell,
To my lonely heart It brings the
warmest cheer;
Oh, how often have / strayed
Thru the valley and the glade,
Where the violets and the daisy
kiss the rose;
And In fancy now l rove,
In the quiet shady grove,
Where the sweet old Susquehanna
flows.
Oh. the warble OF the birds,
Oh. the sweet and loving words.
OF my mother as she kissed her
darling child;
At the dawning of the day,
And the twilight soft and gray.
l can hear her voice so gentle and
mild;
Oh, the never-ending Joy.
OF the days when ] boy,
Watched the sparkle of the river In
its glow;
/ can hear the moaning wind,
In the waving mountain pine,
Where the sweet old Susquehanna
flows.
can hear the river sigh,
As it slowly passes by,
Where the night winds thru the
green old hemlocks creep;
am longing now to stand,
In my dear old native land.
Where my father and my mother
sweetly sleep;
When my soul shall fly away.
To the realms OF endless day,
When on my eyes with trembling
bands shall gently close.
When my heart is cold and still,
Let me rest among the hills.
Where the sweet old Susquehanna
flows.

KEITH VAUDE: VILE
 AND NEW PICTURES
 ON TIE LYRIC BILL
Big Feature Act "Maids of Honolulu" and Four Other Star Acts and Pathe
 Pictures on Bill

Lyric patrons will be more than pleased with the offerings at that popular play house this week, the headline for Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday being Maids of Honolulu, with 20 people.
 Charles J. Burkhart and Alice Barry will top the programme in this act. and as comedians of merit they have received unstinted praise everywhere they have played. Miss Barry is a diminutive little English lady, with great stacks of per sonality and fun in her work, and never fails to earn the reputation she has here tofore esta bl shed-that of being the fun niest little girl on the stage today. She is exceptionally clever ill her comic songs Burkhart has played the leading roles in many heavy acts, and as a come dian he has a safe lead over the many one usually sees i'll vaudeville. Their ve hicle is abundant in pretty costumes, pe- tite chorus girls, beautiful scenery and elaborately staged numbers, with Ha Waitan music swaying in soft strains throughout the playlet to soothe and brighten any possible gloom spot.
 The Guzmani ttio a foreign aggrega- tion of meritorious strength and skill artists, are recognized as one of the best acts of their kind in vaudeville. This trio makes a speciality of the rolling ball and head head balancing acts. They like many others in foreign lands, have been forced to come to America on ac- count of the war, and due to this fact the very best only survive on the Ameri- can stage.
 Jim and Marian Hawkins offer spe- cialty act in comedy, song and chatter that is bound to please, for it hits every where and touches upon nothing in par ticular-just the kind of converse ton that amuses. They have received most favor able receptions all over the Keith cir cult.
 Hans Hanke, a distinguished Russian pianist, who halls from Moscow, the home of the famous Paderewski. is known as 8 musician with a soul, including, how ever, that soft touch, wonderful tech nique and harmony of the finished musi- elan. He will most absolutely please mu- scians, who will appreciate all of the trained qualities, and also the layman. who will appreciate that plunging of self into his work which they will not be able to resist.
 The usual afternoon matinees at 3 o'clock and the two shows at night-the first one at 7:S0 and the second one at 9 O clocl1-win prevail this week. The Pathe pictures are, as usual just little better each week, and will be a feature of the bill
 Beginning the second half of the week the bill will change entirely featuring Ralph Dunbars Maryland singers, another Keith feature.
