Major Person Likes Work Fine

Major E. S. Person, who is men,
Der of the Third Company, Officers
Training Camp at Fort Smelling, Min
nesota, writes an interesting letter to
Lieutenant Whitney. He states that
he is getting along fine and that the
work does not bother him at all. He is
getting onto many little things he had
forgotten and some things which he
had never known. The Major says:
eve get every little point and have a
captain who is a product of the last
camp, but who had seen service be-
fore as an enlisted man. Have been
doing my turn as non-com in charge
of quarters during the last 2 hours.
Soft job. Got out of 2k hour hike,
all drills, formation and conferences
during the time. The new stuff is bay
onet fighting, which is very important,
and trench warfare and trench con-
struction. The whole scheme Of in
struction is scientific murder, no quar-
ter-kill wounded mango the lin

auspices of the Y. w. C. A., was a
splendid success and reflects the high
est credit upon the directress, Miss K.
Florence Miller. Especial credit is
also due Miss Lola Wells for the
capable manner in which she had
drilled the chorus. Miss Mabel
Wright, the accompanist, and the Fla
ten orchestra come in as well for q
large share in the success of the en-
tcrtainment. Miss Nora Fauchald in
her role as Princess Snow White
completely captivated her audience,
her acting and solo work were Of SUI
perior order of merit. The prince, G..
c. Humphreys, was In excellent voice
and his work was superb. Mrs. o..
w. Zelhoefer as the queen carried her
difficult role to perfection. F. j..
Wells, as ever, was favorite with
the audience. The fairies were Wis
ion of loviness, their captivating
and delightfully."- winning ways en-
thralled the spectators. The seven
dwarfs kept the audience in a con-
tinual state OF merriment. Little
Mary Hassel did a Mature Dance"
between acts that for grace and har-
mony of movement proved one OF the
rarest treats of the evening. The en-
tire entertainment, taken as a whole,
was of a high order and deserving of
a much greater share OF the public's
support than it received.

ernoon when one or the clerks was
selling a pair Of shoes. The robber
had entered the store by unlocking the
front door and after getting together
their loot, went out, carefully locking
the door Twenty eight pairs of shoes
were stolen, number Of caps and
some other merchandise, about $500
worth in all. The shoes were taken
out of the boxes carefully, the lids put
back on the boxes and the store left in
perfect order. When the empty boxes
were found, this was the first that it
became known that the store had been
robbed.
Sheriff Nedreloe was notified and he
sent circulars broadcast over the coun-
try, describing the goods that were
stolen. The shoes were easily describ-
ed as the sizes and the factory num-
bers were learned from the empty
boxes.

by the town marshal Tuesday night
and he is now in the county Jail. He
had on a pair of new O'Donnel shoes,

shoes, he stated that if he told the
officers they wouldn't believe him any,
way, but finally said he had bought
them in Portland, Ore. 1t is believed

robbers but he is an old experienced
hand evidently and will never divulge
anything.

robbers, as three men had been camp
ing in the vicinity of Foxholm just

Ralph Kellard, who plays the part of Jerry Carson in "The Shielding Shadow" Pathe's wonder serial pro- duced by the Astra Film Corporation, the second episode of which will be seen at the A-Muse-U theater Satur- day, has decided opinions on how to keep healthy. While not a vegetar- ian, he believes that the average man would have to consult doctors less if he stuck to fruit diet
 While playing the part in the Astra Studio, Kellard was either munching g an apple, demolishing a banana or peeling an orange. It was alright while he was out of doors or where he had some proper place to dispose of banana peels or orange skins, but in the confines of the studio he added to the dangers undergone by his fel- low actors and by the property and cameramen when he dropped banana skin under their feet or an orange peel where it would cause a fall.

H. B. Farmer, famous star of the speaking stage, who endeared himself to millions by his immortal portrayal of Alias Jimmy Valentino" is seen for the fifth time on the screen in "A Vagabond Prince," an original Trian- gle play from the pen of J. G. Hawke. The subject recently was completed at the Ince studios in Culver City, and will be shown at the Orpheo theater today.
 "A Vagabond Prince'' is the color full tale of a petted young nobleman who came to America in search for adventure and became the dominant figure in delightful romance. It is replete with scenes of regal splendor at the start and then becomes abun- dant with the atmosphere of San Francisco and the "barbary coast" " where the romance has it's inception.
 Warner has the title role-that of "Prince Tonio"-and he is said to be at his best in his interpretation of it. He is seen first as the young heir to the throne of a-dissatisfied with his princely confinement-and then as the optimistic adventurer who arrives in San Francisco and falls in love with Fluffy" of the dancehalls.
 Opposite Warner, in the principal feminine role, is seen Dorothy Dal- ton, who is winning new followers daily by her vivid portrayals. Miss Dalton is cast as Fluffy"

BEST THEATRE.

Today-Jack Pickford and Louise Huff, the Paramount s,ars who made such hit in Seventeen" will prove equally as entertaining in Great Ex- pectations." This is one of the new order of pictures thac are suitable for any man, woman or child to see, and at which no one cal take offense.
 The story is a well-told romance, with real" boy and "real' girl for hero and heroine. Of course, obsta- cles have a way of cluttering up the path of true love, and It is with these that the story deals. Of Expectations" one critic says:
 "But it is in the settings that the director and producers have outdone themselves. The reviewer has seen no finer reproduction of former cos tunes and backgrounds, not excepting the great film maste, pieces. of the year. Only in size is Great Expecta- tons' inferior to such works as 'In- tolerance and Joan the Woman The detail is quite as perfect. Beautiful photography and lighting effects are abundant throughout the production. the scenes having all the artistry of paintings.
 "The cast, headed by Louise Huff and Jack Pickford, is adequate in every way. Miss Huff is thoroughly charming as Estella, while Pickford gives another of his clever imper- sonations as Pip. Frank Losee is good in the part of the convict. It is one of the best five-reel pictures of the year."
