out against German cities. The raids
on Karlsruhe proved particularly efroc-
tive.
I'm the Italian theatcr tho successes
OF the preceding week have been en-
larged and extended
'Th Italians launched succcssfuily
along three separate seGn,cnts OF tho
line, series OF formidable assaults
which resulted in n decided advantage
for their forces engaged.
The first attack was made east of
Capo Siie. in the Piavc Delta. which
brought about material extension Of
the Italian brid.chead along the lower
Piave.
ITALIANS MAKE TACTICAL.
GAIN OF POSITIVE VALUE:
Tho second. in the region between
the Monte Tomba and the Monte So

OF the enemy took place in the Tiavc

TO regain the ground lost cast OF Cspo

without gaining any OF his detectives,
and suffered severe casualties. II
would seem that i; is now clear that
The pressure OF the Austrians in this
area has been materially lessercd
Artillery was intcrmittently active
along the entire front, and the British
batteries rendered good service in the
Monticello sector.
Clear weather favored the task OF
tho aviators. Numerous hostile air
raids took place. directed against va
rious ccntcrs in the Venetian plain
close to the lighting area.
The enemy was busy bombing un-
defended Italian towns. T'adua and
Treviso were attacked in broad day
light. and numerous encounters be-
tween Austrian and Italian airmcn
we're recorded.
The Italians, in turn. were busy
breaking up hostile working parties

The program at Keith's this week is
a varied one and entertaining from
opening number to final curtain. Grace

each number gained her new friends
and abundant applause.
For the wind up of the evening

Gayety.

"A girlesaue show" is the way Peter S.
Clark chooses to describe his Offering at
the Gayety this week. Be that as it
may, full appreciation of it was attested
by the number of encores the feminine
principals received last night. The COM
pany. under the name of "Oh, Girl" put
on a show that has not a dull moment.
Four capable comedians are in the cast
and their Demonstrations range from
straight comedy through the "rube"
and the stage Hebrew. The. feminine
contingent has some exceptional sing
ers and dancers. A slight plot runs
through a skit entitled The High Cost
of Flirting" by Junie McCree.
The work of Joseph Mills and Mon
roe Lockwood as "rube" detectives is
the outstanding comedy feature. but
Clare Evans. the straight comedian and
Irving Sands. as grotesque Hebrew
run them a close second. Vivian Law
renee easily took first place among
the girls in the rendition of numerous
snappy songs and dances. Mammie
Mitchell and Mile. Babette also came in
for share of the applause for their
singing of popular songs. The Duyal
sisters offer a meritorious specially
and Joe Geisler and Jack Lee delight
the gallery with piano playing and rag
time songs.
The chorus, in many new and pretty
costumes, furnishes a good BACKGROUND
for the efforts of the principals.
