A GOOD SHOW AT THE
COLONIAL THEATRE
Stop! Look! Listen!'' Has Lots Of
Pep" and -Four Good
Comedians

With dash and swing and more than
the usual makeup of pep" that ne
cessary ingredient that makes things
go the "Stoopl Look Listenl"
Company held large and fashionable
audience last night for nearly two
hours and half with splendid enter
tainment in the Colonial Theatre.
While the music is not so "hum-
my" and catchy, or so tuneful and
"whitsly" as that of Very Good Ed.
dy,' yet there are many other things
in the Stop, Look, Listen musical
comedy that oyerbalance that. of its
predecessor OF a week ago.
Chief among these are the four
comedians, two of whom are excep-
tional ones. These are cast as Rob
Ayers, a composer, and Frank Sleet,
a liberalist, impersonated by Lee AL
ton and Cecil Allen, respectively.
They sing well. dance we'll, act we'll,
and as black face comedians they
can't be eclipsed Round after round
of applause greeted them whenever
they did their "act,' and after favor
ing the audience with several en-
cores, they were forced to bow ac-
acknowledgements again and again
Too much cannot be said of Abel
Connor, press agent, which charac-
ter was in the capable hands of Chuck
Riesner, who is whole show in him.
self He kept his audience laughing
most of the time at his jokes and wit
ticisms, and he is not to be outdone in
dacing, as well.
Miss Hazel Boyne, as ''Violette, Only
a Chorus Girl Now, But Wait" did
splendid work as the ingenue. She is
admirably cast Besides wearing the
most elaborate gowns, and changing
them frequently, she is a most grace
ful dancer, sings well and is alto
gether stunning. Her song with the
six other girls, Take Off A Little Bit
More" was very daring, but seemed to
be "the" hit of the evening. Miss
Boyne was the bright particular star
Of the cast. dainty, winsome, graceful
and well gowned, she made a great
hit with the audience.
The entire show was very pleasing
and afforded an evening of delightful
entertainment to the large and appre-
ciative audience.

SOLDIERS BOARD
Is 100000 Per Day Says Charles
L. Pack at Big Conference
On Food.

War has made Uncle Sam the big
gest buyer of food in this country
and the board bill for his soldiers
will be 100000 a day." Charles La
throp Pack, President of the National
Emergency Food Garden Commission
of Washington, told the food confer
ence of the American Academy OF
| Political and Social Science.
We are to have two million men
under arms shortly according to the
best reports At forty cents a day il
will be seen what that means True
these men ate before becoming sol
diers to make the world safe for
Democracy They doubtless ate more
than forty cents worth daily, which
Uncle Same figures is the cost per
man. But you must remember that
these men have suddenly become nom
producers and they must be fed The
army is making great plans for ca
moufiage to deceive the eyes of the
enemy, but you cannot deceive a sol
dier's stomach He must have real
food
Il am told that the reserve stock of
foodstuffs at each camp is $125,000,
and there are 33 camps in the coun-
try today That means that food
valued at $4.125,O00 is taken out of
the regular channels of trade. These
figures give but an idea of the need
of food conservation on the part of
the individual at this time. The Ma
tional Emergency Food Garden Com
mission urges every soldier of the
soil to at once promote himself to a
colonel of conservation and store and
can food as never before.
Germany reports that its war gar
dens produced more this year than
any year since the war started This
shows the value of experience. We
have had one years experience and
have raised $3.50, 100000 worth of pro-
ducc in our war gardens. Next year
we will do even better. We will then
have more war gardens and the aver
age product of each will be larger.
Housewives of this country this
year have preserved and canned at
least 6O,OOO,000 jars of vegetables
and fruits. Next year, profiting by
their experience of this year, they will
can, | believe, millions more, and
more will be need, for / wish to en-
phasize now the fact that there will
be greater demand for food ex-
portation next year than there has
ever been before, and we must fill this
demand"

pected
Women and girls are wanted az

be well paid for their work Besides,
these tomatoes are to be sold TO the

Dear Mr. Roche:
duly received your letter OF
August 1st, and have discussed with
Major Perkins, who is at the head or
our Department of Military Affairs,
the question of Lafayette Kits. He is
very anxious indeed that the Lafay-
cite Fund should continue its good
work. as the Kits are now so well
known in the French Army that it
would be a great pity to have them
stopped
| really hope that you will make
your big effort to keep your Kits 60
ding for the French Army as nothing
goes so far as these little personal
gifts to soldiers. The American Red
Cross will be very glad to bring over
the Lafayette Kits whether they are
intended for the French or the Ameri-
can Army. AS to the contents.
would stick to the poncho all the year
round, and | suggest the knife. SOCKS,
ointment, writing paper, a pipe and a
couple of handkerchiefs. The poncho
is the biggest hit that has been made
here yet and hardly week goes Dy
that some French officer does not
come in with an ingratiating smile
and suggest that he has seen them and
that his men would very much ike
to have some.
I hope you will go at it hard and
if you can raise the wind for the
French soldiers so much the better'

after several days the Warren came to

He looked very blank when he was told

to know that till that moment he was
going ''home." But this was a dis
tinct evidence Of something he had not
thought of, perhaps, that there was no
going home for him, even to prison.
And this was the first of some twenty
such transfers, which brought him

TO say he must leave Mr.. Nolan to her,
and led him off to the place where the
dance was forming.
Nolan thought he had got his chance.
He had known her at Philadelphia,
and at other places had met her, and
this was a godsend. You could not
talk in contredances, as you do In
cOtilliOns, or even in the pauses Of
waltzing; but there We're chances for
tongues and sounds, as well as for
eyes and bushes. He began with her
travels, and Europe, and Vesuvlus, and
the French; and then, when they had
worked down, and had that long talk
ing time at the bottom of the set he
said boldly, little pale, she said, as
she told me the story, years after;
"And what do you hear from home,
Mrs. Craft"
And that splendid creature looked
through him. Jove! how she must
have looked through himl Home I! !!
Mr.. Nolanl!! I thought you We're the
man who never wanted to hear of
home again" and she walked directly
up the deck to her husband and left
poor Nolan alone, as he always was.
He did not dance again.
l cannot give any history of him in
order; nobody can now; and, indeed,
am not trying to. These are the ira
ditiOns, which I sort out, as l believe
them, from the myths which have been
told about this man for forty years.
The fellows used to say he was the

went to his grave in the belief that
this was the author of "Junius" who
was being punished for his celebrated
libel on Thomas Jefferson. Pons was
not very strong in the historical line.
A happier story than either of these /
have told is Of the war. That came
along soon after. 1 have heard this
affair told in three or four ways. and,
indeed, it may have happened more
than once. But which ship it was on
! cannot tell However, in one, at
least, of the great frigate duels with
the English, in which the navy was
really baptized, 1t happened that a
round shot from the enemy entered
one of our ports square, and took right
down the officer of the gun himself,
and almost every man of the guns
crew. Now you may say what you
choose about courage, but that is not
nice thing to see. But as the men
who were not killed picked themselves
up, and the surgeons people were car
rying off the bodies, there appeared
