ANNOUNCEMENTS
AUDITORIUM,

Tommy Levene and his Yankee Doo- dle Girls opened a weeks engagement yesterday at the Auditorium. The players were greeted with capacity audience that seemed to enjoy the comedy, songs and dances.
 The vehicle presented is called The New Recruits and is much funnier than the offering presented earlier in the week. There is a laugh in every line, with most of the fun centered around Mir. Levene, who impersonatee a Hebrew comedian. His character acting is good and he puts across a breezy line of talkfest with a lot of gestures. Another funny comedian is Frank Murray, who played the part of a French comedian. MT. Murray's dia- lect of broken English is good and he also scoresa a hit. Dolly Clifford, Blanch Parquette, George Brown, Bob Lane and others also win favor by their song selections, while the chorus girls also share in the applause, as the ponies are good lockers and fine dancers. Their collective singing and dancing ranks with other first class musical comedies that have played hero in the past.
 Bcssia Barriscale's first production under the new policy will hc v:sdal- ization os Hl-c,d NacGr2th's roman- tie thriilc- N1dlu Who, which will be the attraction at the Auditorium thea

BREED THEATRE.

IR Mrs. Leffingwell's Boots, the fea- ture attraction at the Breed theatre today. Constance Talmadge is pre- scented in a frothy story of humor with laugh provoking situation in nearly every foot of film The story is by Augustus Thomas, author of the stage play of the same name, which created such favorable comment in New York two seasons ago. Miss Talmadge is seen in the role of the young wife whose penchant for pretty clothes and good times leads to difficulties and complications which cover a period of several weeks in real life and five reels on the screen.
 Mabel Normand will also be seen in Back to the Woods, a delightful new picture of thrills and laughter, and the Hearst-Pathe news showing the sur render of the entire German fleet of battleships and U-boats to the allies in accordance with the terms of the armistice completes the bill.

Hearts of the World.

The production is not in any sense a war play, but a love story of the great war. with the conflict serving as the grim background.
 The battle scenes were taken on the battlefelds of France by permission ana Tsith the assistance of the British and French governments.
 Mir Griffith ana many of his princi- pal players, including Lillian and Dor othy Gish and Mrs. Gish, mother of the two girls, Robert Harron and George A. Siegmann, were under actu- al bombardment three times, on one occasion for a period covering four hours.
 Mir. Griffith had to wear a steel hel- met 10 protect htm from shrapnel and a gas mask 10 protect his lungs during the taking of many of the stirring scenes. Many of the most striking scenes in the film owe their effects to the remarka Ale courage of Mir Griffith and his intrepid cameraman, Billy Bitzcr, who was with him under fire hundrers of times. Neither Mir. Grif- fth nor any of his company received injuries other than a slight wound ir MT. Griffith's army from flying shrap- mel.

To keep the little ones we'll, sturdy and happy, free of coughs, colds, croup, little levers end inAamed throats, use Foley's Honey and Tar.
 It is carefully made of selected rem. edies that loosen and break up cough, stop croup and ease an aching inhamed throat. and it is clean of all narcotics.
 The prompt use of Foley's Honey and Tar is very helpful for whooping cough, and the restless feverish state that attends Children's diseases.

Why Orient Needs Schools.

The Orient now wants, more than
anything else in the world better edu.
cational facilities. Ask citizen of
any Oriental country what three things
he most desires for his people.
Two of the answers may vary ac-
cOrding to local conditions, but one
is uniformly the same from SappOro to
Hyderabad: better schools. Not all
schools are so favorably situated as st.
Johns in Shanghai. There are hun.
dreds Of millions of people in Asia
whose entire family income Is not equal
to the 1920 Mexican approximate.
ly $3.50 American currency which st.
Johns Is able to charge for annual
tuition. 1t Is not the aim Of every
school to become self-supporting. The
glory Of the Christian ideal has al.
ways been that it's primary care Is for
the poor and unfortunate. But every
year the mission schools are able to
shift their work more from the purely
charity basis toward one Of self-re-
speeding independence.
Western education Is now so highly
priced that pupils and parents alike
are willing to make superlative sacri-
fees to acquire it.-Ty!er bennett, In
Asia.

PLEA FOR "FOOLLESS" DAY
Movement to Abolish Stupid April First
Jokes Surely Would Meet With
General Approval.

In connection with the movement for
"less" days 1t is up to some patriot
who has the highest interest Of the
nation at heart to launch a campaign
for fOOlless first of April.
individuals, like automobiles. are not
foolprOof, and Mr.. Absent Minded, who
from time immemorial has been
much-fOOled man on the fatal day,
would rise up and call congress bless
ed, instead of calling the members
thereof names. as he now does, If that
body would busy itself with legislation
abolishing the April-fool jokes that
wreck tempers, ruin dispositions and
work havoc generally.
On the other hand, Mrs. Absent
Minded would probably fight to the last
ditch against any curtailment Of the
privileges Of jeering derisively at her
husband when he puts salt In his cof-
fee, cracks an egg which proves to be
only shell, finds the lining of his
overcoat sewed up, picks up some stage
money on the doorstep and starts to
work with box of soap camouflaged
as candy in his pocket to MUNICH after
lunch.
AS q result the sons Of dignity Will
probably have to endure the annual
disturbance of their mental equilibrium
in order to keep peace In the family.
