Tabloid Opera at Orpheurn.

"The Futuristic Revue" an oper-
attic tabloid sung by nine talented ar
lists, is the outstanding feature OF a
well l-balanced bill at the Orpheum
this week. Well selected voices sing
condensed version of the opera,
"Pagliacci," after which Countess de
Leonardo plays violin classics and the
act closes with a medley OF operate
airs. Marion Harris, Burt Earle and
company, deal in syncopation and
Jazz, while Walter Brewer and Cal
lagher and Rolley furnish laughter.
Marion Harris, a comely young
miss recently plucked by vaudeville
from Mr.. Ziegheld's Follies, wins
with her contagious smile and the
snap and ginger she injects into her
songs. Walter Brewer is the same
old jolly jester of yore. Gallagher
and Rolley have a military travesty.
Margaret Edwards, described as the
perfect girl, demonstrates BY cxer,
cises and dances how she attained
that distinction.
A special attraction this week are
pictures of the Fourth of July cele-
bration in Paris, i'll which views OF
the American troops on parade and
the exercises with which the French
observed the day, are shown. The
Orpheum travel pictures are OF PIC
turesque Picardy, in France, where
much of the current fighting now is
going on, and railroad building IN
Morogoro.

IETWIN BEDS" with none of
the yarnish knocked off. and

the varniSh knocked oft, and
II just as fresh as new, dis
closed some of the intimate details
of the Hawkins, Larkin and Monti
households to the delight of large
audience at the Brandeis last night.
1t was the opening of the season,
and so brought together a consider
able attendance of the regulars and
enough casuals to give the occasion
proper emphasis. The farce itself is
familiar, depending on the incidence
of events, innocent enough i'll them
selves. but capable OF developing
quite interestingly along lines the be-
holder has little difficulty i'll follow
ing. However, the authors always
stop well on the safe side of the OBJ
vious and turn OH the impossible
that laughter may follow. Thus is
imagination -pleasingly piqued, while
easy flowing merriment brings its
sure reward.
In the present instance real inter
est quickly centers on Miss Rotche,
who gives peculiarly piquant quality
to the role of the wife of the tenor
whose temperament finds various out
let's. Neither a shrew nor a vlrago,
but a worldly-wise and yet tenderly
devoted wife, she solves her problem
in a common sense way, although
sorely perplexed most of the, time.
Her discourse on the ways OF way
ward husbands is one of the real
treats of the whole. Others i'll the
cast are quite capable of getting the
fun out of the piece, and SO the open
ing night at the Brandeis was made
enjoyable. -,
it is a pleasure to note Our old
friend. Albin Huster, is in the or
chestra directors seat, having sue
ceeded Ernest Nordin, who went to
the Orpheum.

War Pr0titeers Made as High as
 5000 Per Cent During Year 1917
Firms Engaged in Food Production and Distribution, Cotton and Wooen Manufacturing Coal and
 Other Mining Made Most Money

Washington, Aug. 19-War profi- teers in 1917 were most numerous in businesses devoted to food product. ion and distribution, cotton and wool en manufacturing and dealing, coal mining, iron, cooper, and other metal productions and oil production and distribution, according to treasury analysis of income tax returns.
 In addition thousands o fsmall con- cerns in a great variety of industrial and commercial classifications made profits ranging from 100 to 5000 per cent above their normal profits for pre-war years, which even then were considered high.
 Detailed information of the extent of war profiteering has been given congress recently in compliance with a resolution requesting it.
 In citing certain industry or com merce classifications as containing the largest percentage of profiteers, the treasury has made it clear that not all individual businesses in these groups have gathered in swollen earn lngs. This is true particularly of coal operators, some of whom made enor- nous profits, while other made bare ly enough to pay justified dividends.
 With few exceptions, manufacturers of clothing and shoes reported big profits. This was true of most con- cerns holding government contracts. Scores of income reports from suit,
