The cadets band serepaded the
Hardin College girls Friday night
The band formed on the streets up
town and marched to the college
Just as the lights were turned out.
But soon many pleased faces peered
from the windows. After a few Sc
lections c. A. Buckner took the Band
to his home near by for refresh
ments, prepared by Mrs. Buckner. 1t
was a treat much appreciated. Mr..
Buckner has always shown his inter
est i'm the cadets and they called him
"Our Old Friend Col. Buckner."
Among the visitors from abroad
at the closing exercises of the Acad-
envy were the following: Mr.. and
Mrs. c. ]. Sutphen of Chicago, Mr..
and Mrs. H. Tiffen of Chicago, Mrs.
Henry c.. Van Meter of Van Meter,
Iowa; Mr.. and Mrs. c. G.. Henderson
and two daughters of Joplin, Mo-;
Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Stephenson and
daughter and nephew of Enid, Okla;
Mrs. Charles j. Anderson of st. Louis.
Dr. Smith in his commencement
address took for his topic, 1.-THE Soul
of the Soldier" 1t was a scholarly
and most able talk. The cadets got
bits of advice they should never for
get. The speaker said you can't cap
ture the man who has the spirit of
the true soldier. Upon such a spir-
it the world must depend for it's
progress. The true soldier sets him
self for warfare. His first essential
is obedience. He learns to obey be-
fore he can command-learns to or
der himself-will carry out field or
ders to the full This is the glory Of
our American soldiery.
Col. E. Y. Burton was very proud
of all the boys. He expressed himself
thus, private and publicly, time and
again. Says he has two young sons
which he wishes to grow up and be
! like the men of this class"
Capt. Savage will not be with the
Academy next year. The Academy
| faculty and the general public will be

Chewing Gum in War
As Soldier Equipment

Chewing gum as a shock alb
sorber for the ear drum is the
latest war discovery.
Men in the trenches are con-
stantly demanding gum for the
allaying of the shock to the ear
drums. which is caused by the
bursting of shells on the battle
line, according to a statement
made by Mrs. Joseph w. Fletcher
last night at the meeting of the
Brookland unit of the American
Red Cross. The reason of the
help to the ear drum is the con-
tinual action of the jaws. which
nullifies the effect of the de-
tonation. This is the first in
stance in which chewing gum
has been used in war, and, ac-
cording to advices received from
the front this is doing it's bit to
win the war for the allies. 1t is
not supposed that the Germans
know of the peculiar qualities of
the gum. as IL is not used as COM
monty in Germany as in the other
countries.

Keith's-yaudeyilie.

Keith's menu this week contains a
refreshing draft OF dancing, melody.
and fun, attractively served up in
the cool auditorium by a strong ar
ray of headline artists. Ida Brooks
Hunt, the prima donna soprano, has
a delightful list of songs of the bet
ter sort. and when she gave MY
Hero'-as she only can render it
there was a tremendous response from
the, audience. Miss Hunt is accom-
panied by Alfred De Manly. the not
ed English barytone, who scores heay-
lily In Back to Mandalay."
The gay spirit OF Broadway Is ex-
emplized in beautiful Emma Haig and
George White. the New York dancing
favorites of the hour. Miss Haig cast
her spells Unfortunately. just as
she did in Ziegfeld's Follies last year,
and danced with the graceful Mr.
White most alluringly.
II the amount of applause received
Is any criterion. one of the best-if
not the very best-act on the pro-
gram was Percy Bronson and Winnie
Baldwin in several ''whistly" songs
and some smart chatter from 80
Long Lefty" Bankoff and Grille in
troduced a miniature Russian ballet
with accustomed skill. and Nelson
Waring is an artist at the piano.
Another fitting feature is Billy
Montgomery and George Perry, two
natural cut-ups. who provoked gales
OF laughter yesterday as Two Bach
elors OF Art" They are fresh from
Brazil. where the nuts come from.
and about as nutty as they can be
and still live. Sylvia Loyal and
"PierrOt" have a pretty act with
some clever dogs, a flock OF homing
pigeons. some juggling. and other en-
tertafning happenings; while Duffy
and Daisy, in fun awheel. Otto Rudl
and his violin. Prof. Cark's excellent
orchestra, and the ever-welcome

PoIi,s-sThe Girl from Out Yonder."
Carrying with 1t bit Of the salt
tanged air OF the seaside, which serves
as Its locale, THE Girl from Out
Yonder' made large audience at
Polls forget the heat for a while
last night, and devote their thoughts
and sympathies 10 the whimsical little
'Flotsam" around whom the action
of the play revolves.
For Miss Florence Ritteihoase In
the role OF the lovable. human little
bit of driftwood. commands the
sympathies for her troubles even as
she provokes smiles by her innocence.
A story of the play Is superfuous.
1t Is of the good cld-fashioned kino
with a little bit of melodrama, little
bit of comedy, tears and laughter IN
termingled In proportions just right.
leaving the audience thrilled, sorrow
ed. yet smiling at the finish.
Characters that were finely drawn
by the aLrhor are no lass finely PLAYED
by the various members OF the Poll
organization. Miss Rittenhouse In the
! leading feminine role gave a naive,
ingenious and pathetic touch, to the
different phases of her part and was
at all times consistent. Howard Lang.
as the father of "F1otsam." con-
tributed one OF the finest bits OF
character work that he has delivered
! since becoming a member Of the Poh
forces. Robert Fraser I'm the leading
male role made 4 dignified portrayal
OF a very poor part which fact made
it all the harder to play. Russell
Fillmore in the SILLY ass" type Of a
New Yorker and Miss Ollie Cooper both
contributed largely to the comedy
portion of the production their pro-
posal scene being particularly enec-
tive. ]. Hammond Daily and Miss
Louise Farnum handled the principal
comedy roles. Daily with his game
Of jacks and Miss Farnum with the
memory of her extinct spouse, pro-
voking continuous laughter Of the
| roarding sort.
Among the others whose work was
adequate were Ralph Remly. Frances
Williams and Hardie Meakin.
Edwin IL. Curtis deserves ,particul r
credit for the admirable production
given last night which had none Of
tho irritating earmarxs Of a first
night. The various settings were ex-
cellent, especially the second scene Of
the third act showing a splendid ex-
terror view of lighthouse. This
scene Is left out by rlany stock com
panies in presenting the play because
OF the extra expense attached and the
finished prodUctio given at Polls
speaks well for the character OF their
presentations.
The show is a pleasing one admirably
played by excellent actors under
capable direction.
