"My Honolulu Girl" has arrived and
the whole company of twenty-five are
scattered about the city, awaiting the
time to put on their big show at the
Hippodrome. Their arrival In this
city in advance of their scheduled
date was in the nature of a surprise,
but is explained by the fact that Fair
mont is the last place this company
will appear nder the present booking
arrangements. After the completion
OF the three.day run here My Homo
lulu Girl" will be seen only in the
larger cities. They are now being
booked through the United Booking
office and start out from New York
next week on the new schedule. The
company has been playing on the Gus
Sun circuit all this season and were
booked to split the week between Ro-
chester n. Y, and this city, but on ac-
count of the big jump It became neces-
sary to cancel one OF the engagements,
and due to Manager Burka's personal
efforts and promise made him some

Charles Burkhart is here, there and
everywhere, chasing the blues and
causing much comment. In some OF
his makeups he creates storm OF
laughter by just walking upon the
stage, so 1t can be imagined what hap
pens when he does his best to be
funny. Bert Converse, the string bean

appears and leaves everyone laughing
when he says goodbye. Inez Rodri-

ANY BATTLE FRONT

Except for battles of some impor-
lance in Northwest Russia and in
BukoWina the operations in all the
theatres continued TO be carried out
mainly by small parties and by ar
tillery wings. Along the Aa river,
southwest Of Riga. the Germans
stormed Russian positions and re-
pulsed counter-attacks against them.
More than 900 Russians were made
prisoner and fifteen machine guns
were captured. Pertograd admits the
retirement of the Russians for two
thirds Of mile near kalnzem, in
this region.
In Bukowlna. southwest OF Kimpo-
lung. the Russians in an attack pen
etrated the Teutonic Allied positions
and took number Of prisoners. A
Russian offensive along the Danube,
in Rumania, was put down by the
Germans.
