pie present that not ii seven YEAR, Of
the companys existence has he experf.
cnced anything like II. He expressed
lis conviction that the shows were well
liked by the audiences. but was at q
loss TO account for the small attend
nnca n town Of this size. II Is quite
evident that the performances are be-
ing enjoyed by those who attend. Not
only IS this evidenced by the nantes
tstions Of interest and the enthusiastic
applause. but by the fact that the audi.
ences are made up largely Of those who
attended the opening performances.
There are many who have not missed 4
single night. However. the manage.
ment gave assurance that this slump
would in no wise affect the rendition
OF the plays. Each performer is put.
ting forth his or her best and the re.
suit is that those who know about It
are enjoying at popular prices high
oass plays that are usually produced
by one-night companies at one-fifty.
The company Is made up OF excellent
performers and they are all up in their
lines and the smoothness with which
everything works is only made posi-.
BILE by the fact that they have played
together for long time. James Bedell,
Dorothy Burris. Alice Whitney and
Frank Oliver are among the prominent
members Of the cast mainly because
they are cast in parts that are the more
important, and they are singled out for
mention here because each portray a
different line Of characters. The bal.
ance OF the company is adequately
equipped with skill and assume their
respective parts with degree Of skill
that would readily admit them to the
stellar class.
The play last night was HE Comes
Up Smiling" which in theme is
Cheating the Cheaters" through and
through although the lines are differ.
ent.
Between the acts three vaudeville
speciality acts are presented, which in
themselves alone make an entertain.
ment worth the price OF the full admis.
sion. The company has other excel
lent plays which It will present during
the remainder Of the stay here.

Beautiful Settings In Nelson Feature.
1.-THE Long TRAIL at the Nelson, is
the romance of nch-Canadian
trapper told against a background OF
snow covered mountains and pines.
While the story is developed along
more or less conventional lines, the
skillful direction and the remarkably
beautiful setting lends unusual charm
to the familiar situations. Lou-Telle-
gen is cast as lonely trapper. living
In q picturesque shack high up on the

The gradual changing of her gratitude
to love and their final union in the
midst Of a tragedy make up a picture
which compensates in atmosphere for
what II lacks in originality.

GERMANS WAR MAD,
SAYS 'CLENAHAB
Princeton Man Tells About
Personal Experience In
Belgium.

DR.. Howard McClenahan, dean OF
Princeton university and chairman O..
the Princeton organization OF the Ma
tional American Red Cross, addressed
an audience last evening at the NJ. z,
Temple. Dr.. McClenahan came mere
to address the Marion county institute
which he did yesterday morning, ant.
was secured by the heads of the local
Red Cross and Of the Womans club
to make night address in order that
more people might hear him.
Dr.. McClenahan spent several
months in Belgium and told Of the con-
ditions there in quiet forceful man
ner which greatly impressed his audi
ence. He spoke OF the wonderful hu
NOR of the Belgium people throughout
their terrible struggles, Of the terrible
atrocities committed on them by the
German soldiers, and Of the wonder
full bravery Of the people in the face
of their trials and tribulations.
Dr. McClenahan affirmed his belief
that the German people were a wa
mad people, that the forty years OF
preparation and training for war hal
not only trained the physical side Of the
Germans for the great conflict but hao
also perverted the minds Of the people
into channels which permitted any
atrocity whatsoever IL 1t was expedlen:
to wars aims.
Dr.. McClenahan read from the Ger
man war text book which has been
translated into the English language OF
the instructions given to German sol
diers. the key note OF the instructions
being anything for war. One question
which the book asks and answers is
should the aged, women and children
he permitted to leave city before its
bombardment. The lacOnic answer
was, Decidedly no, their presence is
greatly to be desired as it makes the
BON bardment more effective" The
law. the book states, is mot so touchy"
as Is the natural impulse OF man.
Dr.. McClenahan also affirmed his
belief that the great majority Of paci.
! fists in this country today were formef,
ly the pro Germans and while he did
not accuse them OF disloyalty their al
miration and love for Germany was
still great enough that they we're will.
ing to let them off easy. The Doctor
affirmed his belief that a peace at this
time would be merely a truce and :hal
the war would have to be fought out
later by the men who are children to.
day The German military caste must
be humbled or the peace can not be
lasting
DR.. McClenahau was introduced to
the audience by Miss Mae Fleming
chairman of the Red Cross organlza,
ton here, and the singing of the Star
Spangled Banner by the audience led
b. Rev. c. E. Goodwin, opened the
meeting. At the conclusion Dr.. H. G.
