''THE BLACK MONK"
Offering at the New Majestic on Tues
day and at the Butterfly Tonight
is "Some'' Picture.

All of the realism and the romance
of the Russian revolution is crowded
into the picture-play "Rasputin, the
Black Monk" shown at the New Ma
iestic on Tuesday and at the Butterfly
this evening. It's worth walk across
the bridge to see it. In thrilling cpl
sodes grippingly presented it depicts
the story of the rascal and rogue who
became the power behind the Russian
throne by reason Of his artful hypocrisy
and strange fascination for women.
The story is almost unbelievable but
true and therein lies the merit Of the
picture The incidents actually pocur-
red as they are presented by The film
and by their ruinous effect upon the
Russian army made possible the defeat
of the Slays by the Prussians and the
subsequent revolt in which mighty
people deposed the Gar and established
the Russian republic. Historically and
artistically the picture is masterpiece
and is deserving of real patronage by
people who are interested in the affairs
of the world and the weird romantic
story of the Black Monk.

"Oh it was splendid a perfectly
lovely party
This was what woman who
went" had to say about the Red

day afternoon. The function was well
attended and proved highly enjoyable
from every standpoint. The room was
simply decorated with Red Cross flag
recently given to the chapter by Mrs.
George Allen surrounded by the vari-
colored emblems of America and her
allies. Straight whist, auction and
ts500'' furnished the diversion for the
afternoon after which conservation re-
freshments consisting of brown bread
sandwiches, fruit salad, tea and coffee
were served to the many guests.
Incidentally the party Melted $1,000
all of which will GO to the general fund

Second Performance of 1.-THE Arrival

second Performance of 1.-THE Arrival
OF Mr.. Wright is Better Than Ever
and Brings Increased Funds.
That s'The Arrival of Mr.. Wright y
was a financial as well as an artistic
success, Is the gratifying conclusion to
be drawn from reports on the box Office
receipts made public early today. These
statistics show that something more
than three hundred dollars was realized
from the production and will 60 to es-
tablish patriots fund for the Loyal
Order of Moose.
The second performance Of the play
was even more successful than the pre-
mier on Monday evening. Situations,
songs and dances followed each other
with clock-like precision and charmed
the audience that overfowed the seats
and stood in the aisles at the Rhode
Opera House. New stars appeared in
the second production of the play.
Wallis Gabrielson as "Mr. Fernleyo
distinguished himself and Robert Ora
ham as de Peyster' gave a clever
Interpretation of an English count of
much culture but little cash.
1t is said that the show will be taken
to Great Lakes for a performance be-
fore the Jackies at the training station.
Final arrangements have not as yet
been made for this performance but
will probably be completed before Sat-
urdav. In the event that the engage
ment is made the local artists will APP
pear before four thousand sailors and
in SO doing materially increase the fund
for local Moose in service.

]. DUNCAN CLARKE SPEAKS
Military Critic Of the Chicago Post Pre-
sents War In the West-Musical Num-
'bers Inspire Meeting Is
Eminently Successful.

The presentation Of service flag
to the Kenosha high school and war
speech by j. Duncan Clarke Of the
Chicago Evening Post featured the
Parent-Teacher association meeting held
at the high school building on Tuesday
evening. The session was one of the
most successful in the history of the
public schools inasmuch as it was
largely attended by students, teachers,
and patrons, and presented a program
of absorbing interest to each class.
Lynn T. Hannahs, chairman of the High
School Parent Teacher Association, pre-
sided and introduced the various speak
ers with dignity and effectiveness.
Preceding the oratory of the evening
pleasing musical numbers were present
ed by the Misses Henrietta Gottfredsen,
Frances Williams, Lucille Hill, and
Esther Templeman. The first of these
interpreted violin solo with rare power
and charm while the other three gave
a stirring trio rendition of the 'SMar-
sellaise. !" Both selections were ex
ceptionally well done and did much to
create an appropriate atmosphere of in
terest and patriotism.
The service-flag was presented to the
high school by Nj. Hannahs as a gift
from the ParentTeacher association.
It is emblazoned with forty two stars
and will furnish an inspiring addition
to che schools collection of relics and
trophies. The speech of acceptance
was made by G. n Tremper, who ex-
pressed great pride in knowing that Ke-
nosha High School had given forty-two
of it's students to the service of Uncle
Sam. The ceremony in every feature
was highly impressive and gave the
whole meeting tone Of patriotism
wholly appropriate to the speech of the
evening.
The leading address of the session
was delivered byIJ Duncan Clarke Of
the Chicago Evening Pest It was IL
lustrated with lantern slides and gave
a graphic account Of recent fighting on
the western front. 1t emphasized es-
pecially the detectives sought by the
French and English in their latest drives
and explained the Importance of the
capture of the submarine bases in Bel
GUM. 1t also presented the American
sector on the firing line and reviewed
it's part in the war up to and including
the patrol engagements Of Monday
morning.
The address showed broad grasp of
fundamental facts and an ability to
present them clearly and forcefully. 1t
caught and held the attention of the
audience from introduction to conclu-
sion and thereby proved Mr.. Clarke a
speaker of real power. It's effect upon
the audience was indicative of the same
fact. Everyone appeared to have
gained q better understanding Of the
war and it's activities from the facts
presented by the lecture and conse-
quently left the hall with a new de-
termination to fight to a successful
conclusion for America and her allies.

The really sensible man can see no
reason for refusing to submit the ques-
ton of equal suffrage to the people for
their decision. This is representative
government and in representative
government a woman is just as much
entitled to consideration as a man.
There is no sex to this sort of govern
ment. 1t does not follow that you must
vote for suffrage. That is your bust
ness, but it should be your business
not to hinder the expression of the viii

Of course there are certain functions
Of the council and one of them is the
appropriation Of money for the building
of police stations. However, it is just
possible that the members of the coun-
ell could get some excellent suggestions
from the Police and Fire Commission.
These men have given up a lot Of time
to studying the heads of the Kenosha
police force. There is no reason why
the council should not take advantage
of their intelligent investigation into
the problem.

Cooks have been making cake so
long in our days of plenty, with but
ter and eggs and milk, that some of
them think cake can not be made with
out these ingredients, but under the
stress of war, we are learning many
new ways of doing things. Among
others we have learned that delicious
cake can be made not only without
butter and eggs and milk, but with
out wheat -four as well. Why not?
We ask that recipes appearing in this
column from week to week at least
be tried by housekeepers before they
are condemned.
