Whether or not Ty Cobb quits
baseball, one thing is certain, the
profession owes him all praise and
gratitude. "Outside OF Detroit" re-
marked a famous pitcher the other
day, there won't be a whole lot of
grief among the big leaguers. But
regardless of whether they like Cobb
or don't like him. there isn't a man
in the American league to-day that
doesn't owe something to Ty Cobb.
"Cobb's advent into baseball mark
ed a new era in the game. Cobb's
baseball was new baseball. He was
continually pulling something to
make his opponents look like dubs
and a greater part of the time he
was getting away with 1t.
1.-THE result was that players who
were continually playing against
Cobb were continually trying harder,
playing better baseball to stop Cobb.
1t made better ball players of them.
An infielder, pitcher or catcher who
caught Cobb mapping off a base got
more satisfaction out of it than he
did all the rest of his putouts of the
game The minute Cobb stepped to
the plate every man was on mis- toes.
"I really believe that Cobb has been
responsible for the superiority of
play in the American league over
the National league during the past
ten years.
"It doesn't make any difference
what these fellows think of Cobb
they all owe him something"

thought to your speeches" II do"

Beautiful Ethel Clayton, in her lat

gent to-day, has aroused no
At the small amount of discussion.
Regent The play is a picture of the
famous stage play. Leah
hleschna." There are emotional mo-
ments and yet the picture has a de-
cidedly uplighting tendency and is
anything but morbid. In her screen
career Miss Clayton has done much
important work, but this production,
represents her best. The role is fitted
to her splendid talents. Supporting
her are Theodore Roberts and Elliott
Dexter.
on the Monday program of this
popular playhouse is the splendid pa
starring Vivian Martin, and a laugh
able comedy, THE Romance of Brass
Tacks." Mary Pickford appears
Christmas Day and until next Satur-
day evening in Johanna Enlists," an
exquisite little romance of wartime.
Unquestionably one of the master
writers of thrilling detective and
mystery stories of to-day is
Victoria tor of the famous Craig
Kennedy stories. And one
of the most mysterious and powerful
men on the stage to-day is Houdini.
the man whose marvellous powers baf-
fie all attempts to imprison him.
Houdini is well known to Harris
burgers. He has appeared here and
attracted huge throngs, and his work
in this gripping motion picture, writ
ten by Arthur B. Reeve, is as mys-
terious and weird as his past stage
performances.
Houdini has escaped from paper
bags, zinc-lined boxes, packing cases.
straightjackets, insane cribs, iron
cages, willow hampers, u. S. mail
pouch, big football. Siberian prison
van, and all the leading jails through
out the country.
He has been thrown overheard,
manacled and handcuffed. and has re-
leased himself beneath the icy depths.
He has escaped from prisons in al
most every city in America, and in
Europe he is looked upon as a weird
individual with the power of dema-
fertilization.
Harrisburgers will have an oppor-.
tunity to see this Master Mystery"
which will run at the Victoria Theater
in the very near future. Watch for
announcement Of the opening date.
