NATURALISTS' DEBATE
RECALLED BY fritz
London and Burroughs Would Have
Been Interested in Pony.

Several years ago there was car
ried on through the medium of Col
lier's Weekly. IL memory serves me
Alright. a spirited controversy be-
tween the late Jack London, writer
of vigorous outdoor stories, and John
Burroughs. one OF the country's fore
most naturalists.
The subject of debate was the moot
question of whether dumb animals
possess the power to reason or are
merely actuated in what they do by
an inherent instinct into which the
element OF thought does not enter,
and was provided by passages in one
OF Mr.. London's stories in which a
dog had been credited with a degree
of intelligence which Mr.. Burroughs
thought rather transcribed the men,
tai capacity OF any dumb beast.
Both parties to the discussion no
doubt would have been interested in
watching the performance of William
s. Hart's famous pony Fritz in THE
Narrow Trail" next weeks principal
attraction at Moore's Strand Theater.
Fritz in this picture does everything
but talk Gunfire has no terrors for
him, nor does he hesitate to under
take any feat imposed upon him by
his master, or by Mr.. Ince, who su-
perintended the filming of this grip
ping study of the wild days in the
West

PIRATICAL PARROT
in CAST At POLPS
Treasure Island to Begin Week S
Engagement There Tonight.

The only pirate" in Treasure Is
land" who is permitted to swear all
he pleases is Capt. Flint. All the
others have to hold strictly to the
Steyensonian manuscript. But Capt.
Flint does as he pleases, speaks his
lines or not as he sees fit. and is
limited to rule only in making en-
frances and exits. Although the cap
tain has been known to "cuss' for
nve minutes. right through an
others speech, there isn't a soul who
tells him nay. Herbert Ashton, in
the role of Long John Silver" has
been known to shake a finger at the
captain, but that is as far as dis
cipIining has ever gone.
The captain, is discreet enough to
do his cussing in Portuguese. Also
Capt. Flint is a parrot. named for
the famous buccaneer in Treasure
Island" He is presumed to say over
and over again: pieces of Eight"
Pieces of Eight" In the play the
bird sometimes does. But most of
the time he merely mutters and
scolds and tweaks Mr.. Ashton's ear.
When he is annoyed he cusses Wig
orously. His original owner was a
Portuguese sailor. 1t is said the
captain is more than so years old
and has rounded the Horn seven
times.
Treasure Island" will be at Polls
one week, starting tonight. with
matinees on Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday.

VETERANS OF WORLD
WAR To PLAY HERE
Two Members of Lilac Time"
Company Fought in France.

At least two members OF Jane
Cowrs Lilac Time" company, who
will be seen here during the engage
ment of that actress at the National
Theater the week commencing to-
morrow, have experienced actual serv-
ice at an army front. T. ]. Nc
Crane, who appears as the jolly
Irish oficer, Capt Standing, was for
merIy a member of the Mounted Can
adam Police and fought in South
Africa during the Boer War. Mr..
McGrane graduated from Kings Col
lese, Dublin, and Is rightfully proud
of the possession of both the Kings
and Queens medals for South Africa.
Another soldier Is Capt. Philip Hub
bard. late of His Majesty's mechan-
ical transport service, and at one
time in charge of the ambulances of
the Third Division OF the Ypres Sec
tor. Capt. Hubbard enlisted in the
British army as a private soldier in
the summer of 1914. He was trans
ferred to the transport service and
given a commission as second lieu
tenant in December of that year.
Later he served in Flanders, where
he was promoted to a heutenancS
and finally became captain in 1915.
At the second battle of Ypres, Capt.
Hubbard was "gassed." and in 1916
was invalided out of the service after
eight months in a hospital. Among
the many thrilling experiences of
Capt. Hubbard was that of witness
ing the explosion of a German she'll

lance in which he was riding. This
was during a night attack when ef-
fort was being made to take some
wounded men to a first-aid station.

''zIEGFELD FOLLIES"
have KNITTING Club
Allyn King Enlists Women in Use
full War Work.

The "Ziegfeld Follies'' Knitting Cir
Gle has developed into nearly as big
an institution as the show. Allyn
King, one of the important members
OF the organization, which comes to
the New National Theater Monday
night. established the circle last Au-
gust in New York. She enlisted the
services of practically all the prin-
cipals and chorus. Her purpose was
to knit a few pairs of hose and n
half-dozen sweaters to send to friends
who were doing their bit for Uncle
Sam in France
Fortunately, all the female MEM
bCrs of the "Follies' happened TO be
experts with the needle. and, as they
were all rapid workers. within a short
while turned out enough material to
supply-in addition to their own
fIiends-ten young men. The entire
organization has become knitting
mad and their total output is large.
Miss King. as the head of the cir
Gle. received weekly about fifty nairs
&c hose ard ten sweaters. Helen
Barnes is the chief knitter. Up to
last Saturday she averaged three
sweaters every two weeks. Dorothy
Leeds is the record-holder for knit
ting socks. She turned out four pairs
in one week. Most OF the work is
done during the performance-chiefy

BeIascO-wiIIiam Hodge

William Hodge, who made The
Man from Home" famous through
out the world. will come to the Be
lasco Theater next week in a new
comedy drama in four acts. entitled
"A Cure for Curables." This latest
play for Mr.. Hodge is from the pens
of Earl Derr Biggers and Lawrence
Whitman, and presents this talented
young actor in an entirely different
rcle-that of young Kentucky phy-
sician. As the young doctor he in
herits a sanitarium from his uncle,
but there is a proviso attached to the
will, that the young man must cure
ten patients within thirty DAYS or
lose the place. The young doctor, in
unique and unusual series of efforts,
fulfills the demands of the will. How
he does it is what gives the audiences
an entire evening or unadulterated
pleasure. This play is unique and
wholesome, and delightful through
out. Its humor is clean and sparkling
and wholesome, and the love story is
one of the best ever portrayed on the
stage.
