PLAZA

The Three weber Girls are at the Flaza commencing this afternoon and for the remainder of the week. They are very pretty young damsels and have arranged a most delightfully."- en- tertaiSing~ singing. dancing and aero batic diversion that should send them over with flying colors.
 Ward and Curran; the old timers who have made probably as many people laugh as any others in the profession will be featured in their old fayorite, @The Terrible Judge" and if there are any vaudevillians who are not acquainted with the brand of mirth they offer, there's a great big opportunity awaiting them. We think there isn't funnier offering in the world and we believe that our opinion is shared by all of the older theatre goers
 Dewitt and Duval in their comedy variety skit that is always good for a batch of laughs, and Gardner and Bailey in a comedy singing and talk ing oddity complete the vaudeville at- fractions
 "A Love Sublime,'' starring Wilfred Lucas, will be the big photo-attrac- ton It's a story that will interest and enthran the most blase movie" fan for it is just crammed with thrills sensible thrills.
 = Comedy film subjects that are really Imaginable will also be shown.

Among the successful plays produc- ed by Cohan & Harris, "The House of Glass. Is conspicuous. Here is a drama that runs the gamut of human emotions a0d relating in a remarka- bly, vivid story the experience of a young girl who, though guiltless is arrested on circumstantial evidence.
 When the play begins the audience learn that Margaret Case, young stenographer, is about to marry James Burke, chauffeur. While they are enthu Aastically discussing their honetnoon plans they are interrupt ed by a detective who has trailed Burke to Margaret's room, and Burke is placed under arrest for a $9O,OpO robbery he has committed. Margaret being charged as an accomplice, is sent to prison for a term of three years.
 At the expiration of year and a half the girl is released on probation, but breaks her parole and. under an assumed name, goes west where a few years later she is married to an in- fuential business man from whom she has concealed her past.
 Burke, the chauffeur, has in the meantime Served his full. term and is now the employ of an Eastern rail- road financier. This man calls to see MargaHet's husbard in order to in duce him to go to New York to act as manager for one of the great transportation lines.

MISCHA ELMAN'S CAREER.

Mischa Elman. the famous Russian violinist, whose appearance here on April IT, will attract wide interest, was born in Stalnojo in 1892. His father was a school teacher and n1usi- clan, and gavt his gifted son his first violin lessons. At the. age of five, Elnan made his first public appear ance, arousing a tremendous sensa- ton. When he was nine, the distin- guished violin professor, Leopold Ader, heard the boy genius, and was so impressed with the precocity of the child that he got permission from the Car to allow the little violinist to accompany him to St. Petersburg where he took Elman into his own family. Within two years Elman had become the most. brilliant pupil in Auer's class of virtusi, and his first notable opportunity to astonfsh the world came when. he substituted for his great teacher at a concert. The boy was but 12 years old, however, he played with the assurance and mastery of a matured artist, and was immediately heralded as a most re- markable genius.
 Following his great success, the young artist immediately went on a, concert tour through Europe, captur- ing one city after another. In Paris, the director of the Cologne orchestra refused to conduct when he discover ed that Elman was to be the soloist. tI have conducted for all the greatest artists he remarked, "but never for a mere child, and. it. is an insult to imagine such a thing" The result was that little Mfscha played his solos with piano accompaniment, and after the fitst number, the orchestra leader rushed out upon the stage and grasp ed the boy s: hand, asking his pard for what he. had said, saying, My orchestra is at your disposal when ever you will consent to appear with it and I. shall be honored to conduct for you,
 Froen his European conquests, El- man came to America, in 1909 and he has toured this country six times, playing over TOO concerts.
 His legal residence is<London, but he has been living in New Y ork for three years with his 4father and mother. x as - tS::t kst

of this sort been attempted. The scenario for this production was made from the under sea stories by that master writer, Jules Verne, who wrote the book over 50 years ago and died broken hearted because the peo- pie would not bear with him in his imaginative writings. but at that this writer of rare ability was only 50, years ahead of his time. The pro- ducers of this master film production were in search of some feature play that would appeal to the paiates of the jaded screen fans and finally hit upon the idea of producing this won derfnl masterfeature but of course many said impossible, but the pro- ducers were steadfast in their plans and with the aid of athe Williamson brothers who perfected the. contriy- ance which enabled the pictures to : be taken many fathoms below the sea, the: picture was set in producing and the result was a superlative mas- terpiece iof wonderous appeal and in- tense interest. In Twenty Thous- and Leagues Under the Sea-" one sees the aetuaE under the water scenes such as divers at work, an ocean hunt for man eating sharks, a terrifying battle between the: hero of, the story and a shuge ocopns, an under the sea explosion of torpedo fired from Cap- tain Neno's submarine, an under the water funeral and many other thrill ing and unusual scenes that in ones imagination could be true but which were actually taken under the water. The story of love intrigue and ad- venture which is contained in this mammoth featureplay is one that will at once grip and hold the attention of any audience and the picture is the most sensational dramatic document ever filmed. Don't fail to see this extraordinary screen play as it is genuine novelty and is at once en- tertaining and instructive

White Sox. is giving serious consider
alton to the proposition of becoming
a baseball magnate. He is said to
have been approached with induce
ments to take over the Des Moines
club of the Western League. now
owned by Frank Isbell. another form
er member of the White Sox
OF course. no one doubts who is
the guiding hand in the deal which
would send Walsh to Des Moines. The
whole thing would be engineered by
Charles Comiskey. who has long been
one of the chief figures in the West
ern league. Isbell himself maintained
for a long time an alliance with the
Old Roman.
Isbell. it is said, wants to devote
all his time to the management and
ownership of the former Wichita
club, now transferred to Colorado
Springs.
Walsh probably would be popular
in Des Moines. He was agreat pitch
er. often a visitor to Des Moines with
the White Sox. and often praised
there. Preparations have been made
for some tim eto land Walsh in a fav-
orable community.
The deal also would be considerd a
good step for Walsh. The Des Moines
club is one of the few in the ancient
Western league where money has not
oozed out in huge gobs instead of com.
ing back the same way. Isbell won a
pennant few years ago and he had
a following to boast when he did 1t.
He has developed some good ball play

Paris for 1917 will again show de-
ficit, according to the forecast of the
budget committee. The deficit is es.

due to increased charges and de.
creased receipts both resulting from
the war. The deficit for 1916, not yet
definitely known, was estimated by M

The additional time gained

The additional time gained by
postponing the draft until August 5.
would be valuable to the department
in making ready he divisional camps
at which the State forces will be
modified.
The department has received nu.
merous requests for early drafting
from some States, members of con
gress stating that the troops were
ready and eager for the call, while
from other sections requests for de-
lay have come as the loss of the
number of men involved during the
harvest period might create a labor
shortage.
Reports from quartermaster con
tracts show that equipment for the
troops will be available. The only
delay anticipated will be with artii-
lery.
On the basis of present returns,
there will be enough infantry regl-
ments to organize Immediately after
the draft 13 or IA of the 16 divisions
with a number of regiments left over
to form the nucleus of the other d.
visions.
