Mime. LAMBERT, TEACHER Of MUSIC
Piano, Organ, String Instruments.

Piano, Organ, String Instruments.
Her method of many years study
and practical experience in every
phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct,
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways of
teaching, but there is only one true
way for both branches of music, and
the necessary requirements are natural
gifts for one or both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers demon
strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift,
must possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
extreme may ruin the chords and
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, or vice versa. When all COM
binations are correct such a voice may
justly be named Musical Elocution."
Special training for young children
in combination on any instrument by
divided time. Talent in all cases must
be well tested before an opinion can be
given. Obedience all thro is abso-
lutely required. Lessons in whole or
divided courses. All missed lessons
must be made up-no excuse. Think
and be prepared ahead means business
on both sides.
Language and elocution.

THEDA BARA IN THE TIGER
WOMAN" ATTRACTION AT THE
STRAND THEATRE NEXT WE'D
NESDAY.

Theda Bara, as a vampire, never
fails to impress, if her role is horri-
BILE enough, and in the present play
murder is added to lhome-wrecking.
The fascination of pearl necklaces for
the "Tiger Woman" is the theme, but
a well-knit plot carries the audience
through reel after reel of cold-blood-
ed man-hypnotizing without a saving
grace in the woman. That Theda
Bara is fascinating in her role here
as a Russian Princess without soul,
and gets all to be expected out of the
role, yet without a single scene that
would be subject to objection as "sug-
gestive," fully describes the play.

The Christmas tree celebration in
Central Park was attended by several
thousand soldiers, for whose benefit
mainly it was held. and by thousands
of citizens interested in the novelty.
The exercises were simple, the chief
feature of which was music by two
military bands from Camp Lee, and
the singing OF Christmas hymns by n
choir made up from the different
churches and i chorus OF school children.
The tree was illuminated with differ
cnt-colorcd electric lights and candles.
and was otherwise adorned. Presents
were distributed to tho soldiers by a
committee of fifty soldiers from the
camp. and reserve OF good things
was sent to the sick in the camp hos
pital. Following the celebration, this
committee of soldiers was entertained
at the residence OF Mrs. George Cam
cron. ST., and the members of the band.
were entertained at tho home Of Mrs
Edward EiScnbrun, who was so largely
instrumental in getting up the COM
munity tree. The celebration was an
AFFAIR of special interest.

Great Britain entered tho war vii,

Great Britain entered tho war with
about 100 fairly serviceable planes A
most reliable British authority stated
the other day that the Royal Flying
corps is seventy to hundred times
stronger now than in 1914. The London
Times History of the War is satisfied
that in 1917 England has been build
ing at least one plane for every plane
built by the Germans, and considers
that in 1918 England alone will out
build the Germans two to one.
France had about COO airplancs
when the war bcEan-practically the
same number that the Germans pos
scsscd. Through the first two years OF
fighting France built flying equipment
FOR Russia and Roumania and Italy as
well as for herself. In the year end
ing August ], 1917, French aviators
shot down 75l enemy planes as against
l.32o accounted for by the British. Since
no one has yet accused the French of
being less than match for any other
nation man for man, in the air. one
meaning of these figures is that French
production of planes has not quite kept
pace.
"On the other hand, Italy, formerly
dependent on France. has recently been
building exceptionally fine aircraft in
her big motor car works. 1t is in auto
mobile factories that most OF the air
planes OF all the warning nations have
been built

of the French people as a. whole, to-
gether with a national economic vigor
not elsewhere surpassed; third, wise su-
pervision, and patriotic cooperation by
the government with banking and busi-
ness interests
The government does Its part to war
rant and retain the confidence OF the
holders of its securities. One Of its
wise policies Is to impose new taxes to
defray the interest charges on new So
curity issues. 1t began this practice
after the Franco-Prussian War. and il
today following the same rule In regard
to securities issued to finance the pres
ent conflict This continuity OF pur-
pose, doubtless. will prove reassuring
| TO all holders OF French government
securities.
The Franco Prussian war Of 1870
1871 taught the French people the
meaning Of thrift and economy. So
well did they learn this lesson. that
the whole sum of the indemnity de-
manded BY Germany, 81 900, 1000 900.
was raised within the republics con-
fines BY. its own inha bitants and paid
off more than one year before the time
stipulated by the Germans.
The habit thus acquired has never
been forgotten by the French and to-
day the aggregate number Of investors
purchasing the French war loans has
reached the amazing total OF 100000
individual subscribers. Perhaps no 9th
er country, In proportion to its pcpula-
ton, can make so good a showing.
France is particularly fortunate In
that her small investors prefer SAFE"
inv estments rather than offerings which
promise high returns Government
