of Chicago"
Two aldermen known. as leaders
in the fight to lower rates of utilities
were called in by Lowden before he
finished his message. They were
asked to give him frank counsel and
to understand the door of the eXeCu-
tive mansion at Springfield is open
and they are welcome any time they
have suggestions. This cordially to
officials who have been often attack
ed by Mayor Thompson is taken as a
sign that Lowden will be lot more
liberal than first supposed.
Of course, just what kind of look
in the people will get from Lowden
is to be settled by his course. Plutes
of all kinds we're on hand at the in
auguration yesterday. The ArmOurs,
Geo. M. Reynolds, John S. Runnels
were there. And Mrs. Og Armour
presented an armful of American
beauty roses to Mrs. LOwden. These
folks, however, are all old neighbOrs
of the LOwdens and they had kaffee
klatches, good times and big eats to-
gether years before F. o. was elected
gunner.
Judge K M. Lands was at the
doings in Springfield and was free
with statements to newspaper men
that it's good bet Illinois will see an
honest and economical administra-
ton from Lowden. Lands and Low
den started in politics together more
than Is years ago. The puzzle is
whether Lowden can be the kind of
gunner Lands is judge.
What's a cinch is that Lowden paid
his own campaign bills and has the
power to originate his own policies.
He's as free to be a human governor
as Lands is human judge.

LoWDEN AS FREE TO BE HUMAN
GOV. AS LANDS IS A JUDGE


GOV. AS LANDS IS A JUDGE
Frank o. Lowden, governor of Hi
nois, is today the sphinx, the puzzle,
the nut to yet be cracked to find
what's in the shell for the people and
politics of Illinois. -.
Information is definite that Low
den has already kicked over some OF
the traces into which politicians tried
since election to harness and hitch
him in order to drive him.
Predictions were often made dur
ing LOwden's campaign that he
would be manipulated and have his
policies shaped for him by advisers
like Mayor Thompson in Chicago,
There are signs, however, that Low
den will take a course somewhat diff
ferent from Big Bill
First Of all, Lowden has been hold
ing quiet conferences with men in all
factions of the Republican party
since his election. 1t was surprise
to the pie-counter brigade, the
henchmen and the jolly rovers, to
hear that LOwden a couple OF weeks
ago asked Morton D. Hull to come
over and see him. Friends Of Hull,
some of the best posted men in Hi
nois, were also called in. With these
men LOwden went over some OF MS
proposed policies. He said he means
to carry out his pledges on consoida-
ton of state boards and economical
business administration. Also he said
he wants to put through a Chicago
home rule measure that will not be
a joke.
A lot of guessing is on as to what
is in the governors mind. Among
the pie-coUnter boys the terrible ru-
NOR is in circulation that LOwden is
to move slow, he will actually effect
the consultations and economies
projected during the campaign and
there won't be anywhere near as
many new jobs passed around as ex-
Dected.

Photoplay Features.

Douglas Fairbanks has an ingenious
vehicle for the display Of his versatile
talents in his newest film COMEDY,
Down to Earth" the feature OF the
bill at Loew's Columbia this week In
this photoplay he appears as a 1901
ball player, explorer. plainsman and,
finally, cave man, the last role en-
abling him to carry of the heroine
and bring an interesting story to d
perfectly good finish. There is some
thing besides comedy in this succession
of events which are woven into a wei
balanced and entertaining plot The
photoplay carries a special appeal TO
the lover of outdoors, the physical cul-
turist and the Boy Scout. while to the
plain, everyday city man 1t Is sane

starts when Fairbanks as Bill Gaynor,
former college athlete, decides to
Forsythe. whose nerves have become
sensitive by her too strenuous social
activities, from the sanatorium of Dr..

tuition and its patients. including about
a dozen wealthy hypochordriacs. and
imports the whole colony to an imagf-
nary desert island. Here the inyalids
are told they will have to go to work
if they expect to eat. Within a short
time this back to nature" experiment
proves successful. and every one is
heroine instinctively takes a liking to
the cave man tactics of the hero and
doesn't care whether she leaves the
island or not. Besides the feature, the
bill this week contains other good
screen numbers, including some inter
esting Pathe pictures made somewhere
in France.

Belasco.

"oh. Boy" the ejaculatory title of
the Somstock-Ellfott musical dainty at
the Belasco Theater. has about it that
quality which the Americans call pep"
Furthermore. it suggests just what
the playbuilders sought to produce in
this crisp little CONNECTION. and that
Is clever. entertaining. fresh and alto
gether pleasing comedy. From some
agents appear there came the hint that
oh. Boy!" was good because 1t had
plot and story. and all that. The au-
thority Of an eyewitness declares that
on, Boy! has no more plot than the
title suggests-perhaps not even as
much. To make up for this failure
the authors and co-authors have con-
trived to fill up long evening with
surprising number of songs and dances.
all of which are done to turn, ac-
companied by music of the lasting va
riety.
The leaders in this pretty little pot

with him the charm of youth and the
naive countenance of a college fresh

The costumes and the scenery bear

There is really an individuality about
the inanimate parts of "Oh. Boy"
which goes a long way to making
the piece the success it is. There is
nothing particularly startling about
the scenery in either of the two acts.
but it bears the mark of good taste
and knowledge of decoration.
There are situations galore in the
story which the uninitiated may take
for plot. Some of these have been
discovered before. but the magic hand
of the playwright puts q touch here
and a bit of furniture there-and 10.
the audience laughs all over again.
The general foundation for all the sit

frightfully until the last moment, when
some one snaps the switch and the CUR

The audience AT the Belasco last
night took very kindly to "Oh, Boy"
1t was no ordinary audience, either,
for it was almost exclusively in khaki.
Twice during the evening the young
officers burst into song, the last time
singing "Over There" the lyric writ

fact that the American Army is about
to cross over to take a fall out of the

with such forceful precision to
create deep impression on the audi
ence. George Hermann and Marion
Shirley have an original sketch en-
titled The Mysterious Masquerader.
which gained a great amount of ap-
plause and laughter. Donohue and
Stewart, who have been seen here be-
fore in Natural Nonsense" also re-
ceived much applause and laughter for
their original comedy and dancing.
