'POLLYANNA" BACK
 AT JEFFERSON FOR . } FORMANCES
The "Glad Girl' Comes
 Back Tuesday and Wednes- day and Wednesday Matinee

'Pollyanna,' the glad hearted com edy of optimism and good cheer will be seen at the Jefferson theatre on Tues and Wednesday nights and Wednesday matinee.
 The inquiries that have reached the theatre during a whole month past are
 significant of very widespread and unusual interest in this production. Pol lyanna,' the glad girl, who in the Flea nor H. Porter stories has made hundreds
 of thousands of people grateful for her acquaintance, is now coming in a new guise provided by that expert writer of popular comedies Catherine Chisholm
 Gushing. The glad books have had enormous vogue not only in this country
 but in foreign lands. They have inspired the formation of glad clubs all over
 America and even in small communities in England, Scotland and Australia. Men and women whose names are of interna-
 tional repute have testified by personal letters to their appreciation of the won-
 derful message of good cheer that Pol
 lyanna" has spread far and wide. About
 the first of our own public men to voice their appreciation of "Pollyanna" wasMr
 John Wanamaker of Philadelphia, who
 has been one of her most loyal and en- thusiastic champions. Vast numbers of people young and old, have read the
 books and laughed and cried over them Now "Pollyanna" as comedy reaches
 the theatre to gratify people who are
 eager to see the characters VisualiZed
 and to hear the message of gladness con-
 veyed with all the golden beauty of hu- man diction. Not in many years has
 there been such play of wonderful optimism play in which sheer hope
 fitness, the lesson of the great gladness of life, has been so beautiful phrased. "Pollyanna" has not found a single re- viewer who has failed to characterize it
 as a novel and human play, fuil of poe try, humor, romance and delightful sur prises; one that nobody can sit through without being the better, the wiser and the cleaner of heart. And that surely is great thing for a play to accom-
 plish purely in. the way of diversion ahd
 without preachment.
 "Pollyanna" is a play for grown-ups
 which the young folks enjoy. In the east, where ''Pollyanna'' has been success fully produced for the past two sea sons, it was fully demonstrated that the play Gas was the case with the book be- 1 fore it has an appeal to young and old, | rich and poor. One of the strongest proofs of the lasting impression the play has made is the large number of glad | clubs that have been organized in the cities where the play has been seen. | Klaw & Erlanger and George c. Tyler have organized a very competent com pany to present sPollyanna." Miss Viola | Harper will play the title role, and will be supported by George Alison Herbert
 Fortier, Blanche Douglass. Winifred
 Hanley, Jack Morton, Master William | Blaisdel and others.

the war sees a great light and feels that she must do something to help the cause of the allies. Through her own efforts she induces her brother to enlist in the British army, for it is before the days of conscription. and not satisfied with this she begs to be allowed to go with hos pital unit in the most menial capacity.
 One of the big scenes of the play takes place in a hospital not far from the bat tie front and it is there that 'Aunted Annie proves her true worth in her de- votion to the wounded soldiers. so much so, in fact that it is not long before she

Red. Flag World Threat


 Charlton Bates Strayer, in Leslies.
 We have won the war, but peace has not yet been achieved. Followers of the red flag are out for blood, and there may be bloody day in Europe before peace and order are everywhere established. If war is a hateful thing, bolshevism Is more to be dreaded
 Bolshevism knows no territorial lines, recognizes no racial traditions, is subject to no national checks. It is the passion of the laborer without possessions against every man who has property, whether it be horse or auto mobile, house or store, factory or bank account More than militarism 1t play upon the brute passions. Its end Is anarchy and chaos, and it's aim is to sweep the world. Germany played with fire when she took up Lenine and Trotzky as her paid agents and famed the flames of bolshevism in order to bring about Russia's destruction as an

empire and a fighting force. She knew
 the danger if bolshevism spread and
 she knew it would spread. Germany reasoned she would have least to fear of all nations because of her trained army, the disciplined life of the peo- pie, the strength of the government and the ease with which every incipient insurrection in the past had been put down. Had Germany come out of the war victorious her calculations might have proven correct, but as matters now stand she released force that may work her own destruction.

When John L. was Champion of
Champions, Conditions yer Some
what Different from Today. A Sue
cessful Scrapper was more of an
Idol than a President. He couldn't
take a Step without a Mob Tagging
him, and there were as many Ginks
eager to Cut into the Grape for him
as there now are men in a National
Army regiment. The Popping of
Corks after a Fight was as Noisy
as Drum Fire on the Somme Front.
And John l.. got on the Outside of
as much of the Stuff as any Human
who ever Drew Breath.
But one day after the champion
ship had Gone Glimmering, old
John got Hep to Himself. He said:
I'm all Through with the Booze"
There was many a giggle from
the Smart Souses who knew how
John used to Tuck it Away. They
said he would be Going Good If he
Rode the Wagon for a Week or
Two. But they didn't Count On the
Grit that used to allow the Big Eel
low to take the Worst Wallopings
that Bare Fists could hand him.
And they were ALI Wrong. (13)
1t was Grit that Carried him
Through. Now, you may not be a
John L. with your Mitts. You
may not be a Champ at anything.
But if you've got any Grit, you'll at
least Start your Scrap against old
John B., and maybe you'll Put Over
the Old Haymaker. You've got a
Good Example in Front Of You. I,
