PoIp.-HA Knight for q Day,

fous-A Knight Tor q Day.
Opening with a matinee tomorrow
afternoon. the Poll Musical Comedy
Players will put on a big revival of
the celebrated musical comedy, "a
knight for a Day."
B. c. Whitney, the producer Of the
musical comedy, has made a special
arrangement with Mr.. Poll to ensure
faithful and elaborate production
Of the musical melange in which Frank
Slaven and May Vokes scored a cele-
brated hit.
The Poll organization is particularly
well equipped to make a revue of this
celebrated force with music. Eulalia
Young has established herself as a
comedienne of the first order, with a
personality that meets production re-
sponsibilities. Billy Lynn. who scored
last week In George NJ. Cohan's old
role, will have an equally prominent
part in "a Knight for a Day."
Roger Gray will establish anew his
right to be known as the principal
comedian with role Of great inter-
est. He will have a lot OF new songs
Of topical nature. Sarah Edwards
popularity will be further assured in
the conspicuous role she will have in
this weeks production.
"a Knight for a Day." begins its
merry and tuneful story on the
grounds Of a girls seminary. It is
commencement day. All the bellies
and beaux have their finery and their
wits on parade. Love begins a spark
ing of course, and with it there comes
trouble. the sort that makes for laugh
ter. The plot becomes SO far in
volved that the lovers and attendant
principals flee to the Island of Cor
sica, where love finds its way, which
1t usually does.
Maurice Tuttle, the impresionistic
scenic artist at Polls, has prepared
two big settings.

production will headline B. F. Keith's
Theater bill this week. It is said to
surpass in every detail all previous
Edwards offerings and in point of fact

crate ever undertaken in vaudeville.

lcan prima donna, supported by Dan

sionists, LIE Roy, Talma, and Bosco in
their first American tour. Their pre-
sentation of the arts of white and

Evidence OF this need continues to

worse than wasted.

JAPAN is NOT

Will Back Allies to Limit, But Does
Not intend to Engage In an
Unnecessary Stru0-

TOXIC, March 25.-(by maiD-
The Japanese government is perfect
ly aware that the war situation IL
rraught with the most momentous con-
sequences, but the people may rest
assured that Japan will never embark
on an unnecessary war. We will not
hesitate to go to war to uphold the
interests Of Japan and those Of the
allies, but such a step has not yet
been justified"
This statement by Premier Count
Terauchi in the national diet is an
accurate summary of Japan's attitude
today toward the possibility of Japan
eSe intervention in Siberia,
This statement, coupled with the
sympathetic policy Of President Will
son toward Russia has Just about
quieted the clamor for an immediate
Japanese military expedition to ST.
IBERIA. which was resounding through
out the island empire only a few days
ago.
Two weeks ago country wide
mobilization order was expected mo-
mentarily. Reservists had been di-
rected to remain at home. Wild ru-
mors of landing at vladivostok
were reported.
Then, almost over night, came the
realization that an expedition to ST.
IBERIA might be impracticable, that the
German menace was yet long ways
from the orient.
Most important of the factors which
determined calmness in dealing with
Russia, was probably America. 1t is
now recognized in the most respon-
sible quarters that the United States
is not opposed to Intervention in prin-
ciple, nor does she question Japan's
motives
But she does not want to run the
risk Of arousing Russian hostility
against armed Intervention unless the
German penetration eastward makes
such policy absolutely imperative.
Regardless of the outcome Of the
German menace in Russia, it promises
one significant result. That is cooper
alton between Japan and China and
adjustment of China's internal dis
putes. The latter prospect was the
hope expressed by Secretary Lansing
in the note to Picking which caused
such furry in Toxic.
