Fred Twins "Maiestic"

Az the family man goes to the
grocery store and insists on having a
well known brand of breakfast food or
a special brand Of coffee, 80 many bur-
lesque lovers rush to the theatre when
they see Fred Twins 'majestics" bill
ed as an attraction. The reason is
that .'the maiestics" has, in past
wears stood for superior burlesque, and
Mr.. Irwin is one who, instead Of trying
to cheat and live on his past reputa-
ton, is continually striving to give the
public something little better than
ever before. He has succeeded in do
ing this in his "maiestics" of the pre-
sent season, which show will be seen
all next week at the Casino theatre,
Philadelphia. This production is not
strong in one department to the de-
triment of another department but it
is strong in every detail and every APP
pointment. A stellar cast is offered.
There is beauty chorus of unparallel-
ed beauty and ability and scenic
claim to pretentio usness, the settings
showing among others Broadway
cabaret, Ithe exterior of Churchill's
famous cabaret at 100 a. M, Church
ill's at midnight the next night, 'eat
and grow thin parlor", and "planta.
ton" land. There is book which
offers something new and fresh in the
way OF clean, wholesome comedy. It's
author is Paul Cunningham and
critics who are familiar with his work
pronounce this the best book he has
ever written. There are many special
ties, some of them being provided by
big vaudeville headline artists ano
which are utilized to give color and at.
mosphere to the cabaret scene. There
are many musical hits such as much
obliged, Broadway" and reducing
rag", both OF which will be sung by
Miss Bennett. Sartorially the produc
ton has been dressed with exquisite
taste, some wardrobe creations heine
furnished which are unique anc
which represent the last word in class

TOta

One man from Woodland township
was rejected out Of the last lot to go to
camp, making the number from that
township three unless the man who re-
places him happens to come from that
township.
The fact that Northampton, the
largest township in the district. sup
piled less men than Pemberton
borough and township, is due no doubt
to the large number of men from
Mount Holly who enlisted in Com
pany E Of the National Guard, and
also the considerable number who en-
listed in other branches Of the service,
including the navy.

Water Under the Desert.

A study of underground waters in
the Nevada deserts has recently been
completed by the geological survey. 1t
shows that in Nevada the bedrock
forms a corrugated surface consisting
of more or less parallel mountain
ranges and broad intervening troughs
that are filled to great depths with
rock waste washed from the noun
tains. These deposits of rock waste
are relatively coarse and porous.
The rain that falls upon them and
the run-off that reaches them from the
mountains sink into them, and the val
leys in which they lie are arid. These
deposits. however, form huge reser-
voirs in which the water is stored and
in which, to the limit of the capacity
of the reservoirs, 1t is protected from
evaporation. So well is this water hid
den that its existence was not sus-
pected by many of the early travellers,
and even today long desert roads on
which there are no watering places
lead over areas where ground water
could easily be obtained.
