Great Lyric Tenor Fills Polls; Is
Asked to Return.

John Mccormack, Ireland's great
lyric tenor, drew a more than ca
pacity audience to Polls yesterday
afternoon.
It was the largest crowd that has
this season iocked to hear any artist
in Washington, filling not only the
$50 extra chairs on the platform, but
also the rear aisle. where stood hun
dreds who had been unable to pro-
cure seats. So many were disap-
pointed at being turned away that
Mrs. Wilson-Greene has arranged a
return engagement for April 26.
It was McCormack's second appear
ance here this season, for he had
given a series Of recitals during the
early winter for the Red Cross.
Mr.. McCormack's voice still has
those qualities which have endeared
him to his audiences. Its strength
and beauty Of tone and the artists
perfect control combine to make Nc
Cormack's voice enhancing. That
the charm and appeal of his singing
are best appreciated in the ballad
type of song is shown by a compari-
son Of the applause for his Handel
number with that aroused by
Mother Machree.'' His group of
Irish songs brought forth a storm of
applause and the audience showed
much appreciation of his generosity
with encores.

PHILADELPHIA
MAY BIZ MADE
BIG DRY SPOT
Military Authorities Will
Enforce Prohibition to
Protect Soldiers.

Failure of any city or town to aid
the military police in stamping out
vice and the Illicit sale Of liquor will
be considered as grounds for a Fed
eraN order forbidding the sale Of in
toxicants In the Stacker communities,
according to Raymond B. Fosdick,
who as chairman Of the Commission
on Training Camp Activities, recently
urged that the Navy Department
exert pressure on the city officials to
bring about reforms in Philadelphia.
Unless the city government Of Phila-
delphia takes steps soon to protect
soldiers and sailors, it Is intimated
that the city will be dried up"
Recent orders of the Navy Depart
ment which closed all saloons in An
napolis and in towns near naval train
ing stations have established the fact
that the war administration will not
hesitate to proceed against any city
which fails to accept the RESPONSE
bility of supporting the regulations
imposed by the army and navy upon
the nations fighting forces.
1t is admitted that enforced prohi-
bition of a city as large as Phila-
delphia would be a drastic step and
that such a measure will not be
brought into play untfl all other
means for reform have been tried.
Thousands and thousands of young
men are in training at army or navy
stations at or near Philadelphia" said
Mr.. Fosdick Most of them visit
Philadelphia when given liberty. 1t Is
possible that the Navy and War de-
partments might rule that men should
not visit Philadelphia when on liberty
leave, but this would work a great in
justice on men who have worked hard
and faithfully to win a few hours
vacation and who crave the theaters
and the crowds Of the city.
