POLES

Charles Chaplin, in his great comic photo-comedy, "A Dogs Life" has been retained for three more days at the Poli theatre by popular demand. It will be featured in conjunction with the much talked of romance of Be- hemian life, The Studio Girl,'' in which Miss Constance Talmadge ap- pears. Together these two great at fractions will be a magnet for pho toplay lovers and will blend well with an entrancing vaudeville bill that has been secured through the personal representation of MT. Polls booking agents in New. York and Chicago.

PLAZA

Because it's a certainty that half of those who want to see him haven't yet had the opportunity the fact that Charlie Chaplin's new three-act super comedy, "A Dogs Life" will be shown the latter half of the week at the Plaza but, for those who like romance and drama in film form, the manage ment has secured 'The Law of the Great Northwest" a superb five-act thriller with romance and heart inter est aplenty to be shown on the screen in conjunction with the big Chaplin comedy.
 The vaudeville program is eTcep- t1onaIly strong, having two distinct heaIdlfners.
 Money or Your Life" one of the funniest travesties in the realms of variety, will take care of what laughs Charlie Chaplin doesn't corner, and Charles Henry Pets, one of the most wonderful dumb acts on the stage, will do the sort of entertaining that draws the exultant exclamations of delight and surprise from everybody.
 Leo and Viola Doherty, pair of nonsense Eealers, and The Three An dersons, direct from Australian tri- umphs, complete the bill.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
LYRIC

Roars of laughter, shaking the very 'rafters of the Lyric theatre, are greet ing the Poli Players this week in their unusually successful presenta- |tion of the already popular farce comedy, Take a Chance" which is 'receiving its initial production in this .city. Each of the audiences which |have seen this play have given de monstrative evidence of it's value and for the first time in several weeks the players one and all have been obliged Ito respond to a succession of encores Following every act
 Contrary to expectations, Take a Chance has been given a. reception second to none that has ever been given similar production. While a good portion of the credit goes to the author, Vincent Lawrence, the Poli Players must not be forgotten, for it is they who are putting the necessary action into the lines Already there has been an unusual demand for seats and it is suggested that those
 who have not yet seen this production reserve their seats for the remaining performances.
 Next week the Poli Players will branch out into the biggest produc- tfon they have yet attempted. That well known and justly famous musi- cal comedy, 'rVery Good Edide,' will
 be the attraction with two perform ances daily, matinee and evening. Notwithstanding the enormous ex- pense attached to bringing this popu-
 lar comedy to this city there will be
 no advance in prices. This is the first
 time that ''very Good Eddie has been
 produced at popular prices, but with
 the full cast of Poi Players and a
 special beauty chorus from New York,
 as good, if not better performance
 tan was given by the original com

PUT OLD ENEMY
 TO UTTER ROUT Tells how to lift off that touchy
 corn without hurting F one particle

Hospital records show, that every time you cut corn you invite lock jaw OF blood poison, which is need less, says a Cincinnati authority, who tells you that quarter ounce of a drug called freezone can be obtained At little cost from the drug store but Is sufficient to rS1 ones feet of every hard or soft corn or callus,
 You simply apply a few drops of this freezone on a tender, aching corn and the soreenss is instantly relieved. Shortly the entire corn can be lifted out, root and all, without pain.
 This drug is sticky but dries at once and is claimed to just shrivel up any corn without inflaming or even irritating thes urrounding tissues or skin,

the borrowing Of money for current
expenses all absolutely eliminated.
Then enact such further legislation
at the next session as may be neces-
sary to guarantee a sufficient income.
Why should we first borrow money on
short term notes at high rates and
afterwards issue bonds, when we can
issue the bonds now, and we know
money is going to come higher as
the war continues?
The problem must be solved and
in our consideration of it I'VE should
be kuided solely by business princi-
pies, FOR it's is purely a business
proposition. 1t may take political
courage to face the issue sauarely
but we are not here to do otherwise;
and any man in this body who allows
his attitude or vote to be controlled
or influenced by his personal politi-
cal fortune or aspiration is a traitor
to tic people he represents, and is
unworthy Of the confidence and es-
TEEN. A lar who would play poll
ties in this crisis would scuttle the
ship of state for political prefer
ment. The true reward for; public
service is the consciousness that nj
has done his duty, and poor indeed is
the ofice-holder who sells that graft
tication for any consideration.
As for rAe, l propose to follow the
light as it appears, and I have enough
confidence and faith in the integrity
and intelligence Of Mississippi's peo-
pie to abide their decision with per-
feet assurance; but, more than all.
by SO dong l will retain my own self
respect and peace Of mind. ] appeal
to you to study this problem earnestly
and render true service to your State
and her people by adopting business
like, non-political remedies for these
evils.

management of the Malbourne,

This will, no doubt be somewhat
of a surprise to many Of his friend

would seem strange indeed. Mr..
Raspberry, however has been con-

announced his acceptance Of the
but for the fact that he had a Sc.
cond off er from Spartansburg, S.

point Of view Of remuneration.
Due consideration Of the various
advantages, and the closeness
from Durham here, where Mrs
Rasberry will continue the hote
for the balance Of the year, made
him decide in favor Of Durham.
AS Mrs. Raspberry will continue
to run the Brick Hotel until thu
end Of the year Mr.. Raspberry vii
make periodical visits here during
that time, so that his friends viii
not entirely lose sight of him whel
, he goes on Thursday.
