Popular Play At Opera House

The pretty story of little pep
OMally, a child of poverty with
the beauty of fairy and the heart
of an optimist, is told in "The But
terfy Girl third of the Margarita
Fischer series Of Mutuel-Star pro-
auctions, produced by the Pollard
Picture Plays Company, to be
shown at the Opera House on
Thurday, May 18th.
One of the principal fascina-
tions of the play is it's portrayal of
Pops" childish faith in and love
for everything that lays claim to
beauty on 'The Isthmus," San
Dlego's big fair amusement street.
1t is a story that must appeal to
all women and children, and GER
tainly will appeal to all men, for
who can witness the simple hap
piness of ragged child in fairy
land without feeling the thrill of
childhood once again?
The aunt, Trixie Boniface, who
is interpreted by Della Pringle,
proves too poor to do much for the
children, but her protector, Marcus
Renshaw, the concessionarie, is at
once attracted by "Pep's" fresh
young beauty, and he plots to get
rid of the "passee" woman who
has been doing Butterfly" in his
show for many years. He has his
eye on a new Butterfly"
The climax of the story comes
when "Pep," driven to an extrem-
ity by the persecution of Renshaw,
tries to kill herself by plunging
into the crater of the make-beleve
Kileaua-the toy volcano that
spouts every night at eight.
Of course the little girl is res
cued from the tangle of wires and
timbers of the reverse side of the
spectacle and equally of course she
falls into the hands of friends
especially those of young Mr..
Whipple, son of the governor, who
has fallen in love with her.
The story of "The Butterfly
Grip is highly imaginative but
nevertheless very fascinating. 1t
is certain to be popular. ADV.

MORE INVESTMENTS
 FOR NAVAL RESERVE
Enrolling Officers Report Increase in
 Number of Applicants.

Announcement has been made at the recruiting office of the naval re- serve corps at the municipal building in New London stating that men who have enlisted in the Home Guard may enlist in the reserve and such action renders their enlistment in the Home Guard void.
 Recent developments have stirnu- lated enlistment and in the last few days the enrolling officers state that they have talked with more applicants than at any time previous.
 A report to the effect that men en- rolled in the naval reserve could be taken out of the district is entirely wrong, according to the naval officers. A man enlisting in this department is detailed to duty within the Second district limits and cannot be taken out.
 The inspection board. composed of naval men. who determine the worth of craft offered to the navy depart ment, has been kept busy of late in- specting many kinds of craft.
