"Huck and Tom" amused a half
dozen capacity houses at the Co
lonial theater Sunday and sent
them away with a mixed feeling OF
regret and fond remembrance. as
old juvenile recollections were
conjured up by the presence OF the
famous boyhood stories OF Mark
Twain.
Jack Pickford is the command
ing figure in "Huck and Tom"
The story deals exclusively with
dead cats as the curative property
for the discomfiting and ugly
wart. The famous graveyard scene
in which the shivering Tom, the
quaking Huck and the stole Injun
Joe figure equally prominent with
the deceased feline, is worked up
in a manner that compels mirth to
come out OF hiding.
The picture will remain until
Wednesday.

NEW YORK, April 22.-There

unexpectedly turned loose on the
wild baseball fans. 1t was to be

So far the Giants have met the
Brooklyn Dodgers and the Boston
Braves. The Braves still are

teams which have battled the

The happy combination of
Otis Skinner in a Booth Tarking-
ton play, is promised at the Ia
coma tonight.
Mr. Skinner, with his excep-
tional schooling under Booth,
Barrett, Modjeska and other emf
nent artists, and with his Won
derful speaking voice and his un-
questioned talent, has attained
the enviable position of the fore
most actor on the American stage.
The Harrington comedy, "Mister
Antonio" is distinctly comedy,
and was written especially for
Mr.. Skinner.
He has strong character part
that of an Italian organ-grind-
err. The happy-go-lucky vaga bond
is an optimist, philosopher and
practical Samaritan. In this role
Mr.. Skinner finds opportunities
for broad character drawing, and
he makes Tony Carmadonio, the
hurdy-gurdy man, both lovable
and picturesque.

Always time your throw to first
base and take good aim. When a
runner is on first base and anoth-

BARA MASTERPIECE At ROYAL

Theda Bara is at her best in her
new picture, "The Rose Of Blood"
which will be at the Royal theatre to-
night. Rarely has the noted star at
tanned the heights of emotional sue
cess which she reaches in this picture.
Nor has she often had vehicle which
affords such opportunities for vary

changing expression.
"The Rose of Blood" is a story Of
the Russian revolution Instead Of
concerning itself with the circum-
scribed lives of czars and priests,
however, it goes into the heart of the
Russian people, and shows what they
were doing while their government
was being overturned. It is more real
and more vivid than any Of the his
torical dramas of today which have
been filmed.

of The Associated Press. I'm many
ways the boy scouts have rendered
valuable national service since the war
started. Now in response to an appeal
from the food controller they are go
ing to help the farmers kill rabbits.
"From the point of view both of
food production and crop protection"
says the food controller, "the killing
of rabbits at the present time is a
national and public service. Every
rabbit killed represents roughly two
and half pounds of food for the ma
ton, and means also one enemy less
for the crops and the farmer"

Amsterdam, Feb. 25.-Spealing BE-
fore The re;ehstag today the German
chancellor, Count Won Hertling, made
this declaration:
II can fundamentally agree with
the four principles, which in Presi-
dent Wilson's view must be applied in
a mutual exchange of views, and thus
declare with President Wilson that a
general peace can be discussed on such
a basis.
"Only one reserve need be made in
this connection: These principles must
not only be proposed by the president
of the United States but also must be
actually recognized by all states and
peoples.
Gut this goal has not yet been
reached. There is still no court of ar
bitration established by all the ma
tons for the preservation of peace in
the name of justice. When President
Wilson incidentally says that the Ger
man chancellor is speaking to the tri-
bunal of the entire world, l must de-
cline this tribunal as prejudiced, joy

Germans Making
Paper Clothes

New York, TeD. 26.-Practically all
the textile mills in the Chemnitz (Sax-
ony) district, the center of that in
dustry in Germany, were making cloth
from paper during 1917, The available
supply of cotton and wool for textile
purposes having been entirely ex-
hausted. A few establishments were
spinning and weaving fabrics of nettle
fibre by the process invented by an
Austrian scientist during the war.
Profits from the manufacture of the
substitute cloth were, according to a
review of the industry published in a
recent number of the Cologne, Gazette,
by no means small and many plants
made good dividends.
Scarcely had the. mills been convert
ed to working upon the paper yarns,
however, when the manufacturers
were unpleasantly surprised by the
news of an alarming shortage in the
new raw material, viz, wood-pulp, al
most the entire supply of which is re-
CURED as base for explosives and
other munition purposes, and the pros
poets for the textile plants for the
coming year were described in the re-
view as very poor.
| Nettle fibre as possible substitute
for paper yarn is available only in lin
tied quantities so that only few mills
can be employed upon that raw ma
terial.
The paper cloth in question is not a
regular paper but is made of yarns
spun from fibres made of liquid cellu-
lose or woodpulp and woven like cloth,
with warp and wool. It is expected in
Germany that paper cloth will doni-
nate the market for some time after
the conclusion of the war, owing to
the difficulty Of getting supplies of
cotton. AS to nettle cloth a concern
has been formed to establish regular
plantations of nettles upon waste
Hands to supplement the casual road
side and fence-corner supplies, but it
will be long before the nettle fibre,
(which resembles that of fax, can come
into general use.
Tulle factories in the Chemnitz dis
tricts were well employed during 1917
but the supply of silk was running
VERY short.
