Colonial this evening. Polly Mars
den is the beautiful daughter of
Buck Marsden, a cotton broker,
who is loved by two men-Larry
OMalley, poet, and Talbot Sturgis,
distinguished broker Compelled by
her father to make a choice between
the two, she announces that she will
start the following day in her racing
car for parts unknown with an hours
start, and the man who catches her
first may claim her as his bride. On

starts back home. She leaves 1t a.
a village, hires a taxicab and goes to
the nearest railway station and en-
route meets Colby Mason, a million
aire secret service agent, with whom
she strikes up an acquaintance. On
the train, Polly attracts the attention
OF a stranger, whom Mason recog-
nizes as German spy, and conclud-
ing that Polly is in league with this
man, he keeps an eye on her. Sturgis
and O'Malley, meanwhile, are search
ing for Polly and finally locate her in
hotel in New York, where compli-.
cations swiftly ensue. Polly is watch
ed by Colby and when she is told by
the spy, who believes her TO be
confederate, to meet him at Noun

lows her. Polly exposes the Hun spy
plot, but is arrested by Mason just as
Sturgis and O'Malley reach the scene,
each eager to claim her as his bride.
She refers them to Mason, who has
captured her, because under their
agreement she was to wed the first
man who captured her. Nothing
loathe. Mason takes her into his arms
and he is gratified to find that she is
quite delighted to be his captive for
life. "In Pursuit of Polly is beau

AT THE REPUBLIC TOMORROW

The weak spot in an elderly mans
armour-his love Of good food-was
picked out by clever young girl who
wished to gain the goodwill of this
old man-her Uncle. The bright
young woman is played by May ALI
son, charming young Metro star of
the sparkling comedy, "A Successful
Adventure which will be shown at
the Republic Theatre tomorrow.
June Matthias wrote it and Harry
Franklin did the directing.
Knowing the vulnerable spot of her
grouchy old relative, this young
Southern girl showed woman's keen
intuition when she chose the Kitchen
route as the way of reaching his
heart THAI she gained her ends goes
without saying when it is told that
she knew how to cook in the ap-
proved old Southern style.
Mary Allison plays the part of the
girl in perfection. Her comedy is
fascinating and her more pathetic
scenes most appalling 1t is a pic
ture with many laughs and much
deep heart interest

DISPENSING WITH THE DRUM
Other Countries VIII Follow France in
DiscardIng II as Part Of Military
Equipment.

II was some time ago that, acting
upon the recommendation embodied
in a report by military commission,
the French government reached the
conclusion that the drum was no long
er necessary article of military
equipment.
The report set forth that the drum
was a serious encumbrance in march
ing; that rain impaired it's usefulness;
that its calls could not be distinguished
in time of battle; that it consumed a
period of two years to turn out an eff.
cient drummer; and that by abandon
ing the use of the drum many thou
sands of youths and men would be re.
leased for active service.
Since the decision of the French
government other European powers
have followed it's example in decreeing
that the drum must co."
The history of the drum is both
ancient and honorable. The Egyptians
employed 1t, and the Greeks ascribed
its invention to Bacchus. The Spanish
conqueror Pizarro is said to have found
drums in South American temples. The
snakes of Ireland, we are told, fed
from the Emerald Isle before the drum.

AT THE COLONIAL TOMORROW

Bessie Barriscale in an extremely
pleasing story Rose O'Paradise," will
be the enjoyable attraction at the
Colonial tomorrow evening. The story
is by Grace Miller White, author
of Tess of the Storm Country" and
other famous stories. Another of the
simple girlish heroines that Grace
Miller White is so fond of creating,
heads the list of characters in Rose
O'Paradise,' with Bessie Barriscale
in the title role. The scenes of this
splendid story are laid in the South,
and Virginia Singleton, the young he
roine, finds her path in life beset with
enemies, chief of whom is her fathers
brother. Bessie Barriscale is pref
ty. and energetic Virginia. Edythe
Chapman makes most natural and
likable character of Peg, who con-
stantly refuses to join the little he

LESSON FOR ARDENT SWAN

II happened at a public ball. He

GROWTH OF THE LANGUAGE
Names Of Prominent Persons Are
Now Commonly Used as Verbs
and Nouns.

The growth and change which are in
separable from all living languages
cannot fail to interest the student,
and a special interest attaches to the
incorporation OF the names of famous
men, the New York Sun observes.
Thus Wellington has come to mean
sort of book; Brougham, carriage.
and Gladstone. appropriately enough.
travellers bag, as that great man adj
vocated the bag and baggage" policy
which seems likely at length to be
adopted
Other names have been turned into
verbs as well as nouns. For instance,
the murderer Burke's name is per-
petuated in the verb burke, burked
burking and burkism, while in quite
recent times Captain Boycotts expert
ences resulted in the language being
enriched by the phrases boycott, boy
cotter, boycotting, etc.
The most notable case was probably
that of the great and good man Rev.
T. Bowdler, d. d., who, by publishing
q family" edition OF Shakespeare in
1881, added the words "bowdlerize"
and "bowdlerism" to our language.

AT THE REPUBLIC TONIGHT

The new World-Picture has an in
teresting stunt new to motion pictures
in the last reel The name of this pic
ture is THE Interloper," and the star
of the production is Kitty Gordon.
You will lie able to see this inter-
esting stunt tonight. as upon that
date THE Interloper" will be shown
at the Republic Theatre.
All things considered. THE Inter
loper" is one OF the most dramatically
interesting and entertaining pictures
filmed in a long time 1t is fast-mov-
ing and filled with surprises. One OF
the biggest surprises comes at the end
when the picture takes a wholly unex-
pected turn, and one that is also par
ticularly pleasing.
"The Interloper" was directed by
Oscar APPEL, who directed j. Warren
Kerrigan in "A Mans Man" and 1.-The
Turn of Card" II is the first picture
he has directed for World-P Pictures,
and it is corking good one. Mr.. APP
fel. by the way. is now engaged in di-
recting Kitty Gordon for a new World
production.
Many of the scenes in THE Inter-
loper" were filmed in the South,
where, the company made a special
trip for the purpose of taking these
scenes. These scenes are not only ex-
ceedingly beautiful but are also thrill
ing in the extreme.
All in all THE Interloper" is just
about the best there is in the way of
screen entertainment.

Readers Of Poetry.

A public librarian recently gave me
evidence that mans regard for poetry
Is greater than woman's. Many pupil
teachers and other students frequent
his library and come in quest of books
to help them In the study of litera-
ture.
He finds that when set to study q
poet the male student generally Dor
rows that poets works to read for
himself, but the female says: "Oh, 1
don't want to wade through all that;
give me book that will summarize
his ideas and tell me what ought to
think about him." And the usual way
is to give the girl book that tells her
what a man thinks she ought to think
about poetry.-London Chronicle.

SOLDIERS MAIL
is contested

Mothers, wives, sisters and sweet
hearts are complaining of the long
waits between letters from the boys
in France. and at the front else
where.
Perhaps they do no. realize or APP
preciate how congested the mail sent
TO soldiers is. and how one transport
or ship will carry hundreds of bags
of mail each trip across. The facili-
ties are not adequate, and IL the home
folk realized it they could help make
matters much better.
If every mother, wife and other rel
alive would write but ONE letter a
week to her beloved one "0ver
There" instead of letter every day,
as many of them do, it would help
alters immensely
This hint is thrown out, for IL is be-
lieved that IL the daily letter is all
lowed to accumulate for six days and
then be sent in one jacket. II will help

Somewhat Risky Bet.

The funeral at Zenta of a man
named Peter Hirti provided a sensa-
ton. The cortege was approaching
the cemetery when the lid of the cof-
fin was forced on and Peter Hirti.
alive and well. stepped. out of the
hearse on the road. On seeing him
the mourners were seized with panic.
When the excitement subsidized Peter
Hirti related that he had made a bet
he could feign death and keep up the
deception until the coffin In which he
was placed was taken to the cemetery.
The want of air compelled him to
force the coffin lid before the ceme-
terry was reached. and he therefore
lost the bet.

THE PIGEON IS
A GOOD SOLDIER
Should Have Had Croix de
Guerre For Betraying Boche
Plans To The French
WON FOOD FROM "Y"

The pigeon, good soldier that he
was, couldn't fly on forever. He was
bewildered by the crash of the great
guns that destroyed his homing in
stinct. and weary from a futile long
journey round and round the COM
bat area. Finally he came to rest in
the window of Y. NJ. C. A. hut. A
Red Triangle secretary caught him
and removed the little aluminium tag
from leg.
The message was in German. 1t
read I'VE are being hard pressed by
the French. Send help at once or
we cannot hold out"
The Y. NJ. c. A. man took the paper
to headquarters and the general read
1t.
Have some more batteries open on
the enemy in front of us" he order
ed. "They are calling for help over
there"
The thunder of new guns from a
cluster of woods previously quiet
showed that the order had been
obeyed. Soon word came that the
Germans were retiring.
"Their message went to the wrong
place." said the general. THAT pig
con was an unwilling ally. He
ought to have a Croix de Guerre."
But the pigeon wanted only food
and water and these they. NJ c. A.
man supplied. Then he liberated the
bird. which flew back toward the
Hun lines.
This may be good omen" said
the Red Triangle worker. Perhaps
some of the Boche soldiers are just
as tired of war and just as bewil-
dered as that pigeon"

That Jov-Wheel.

In an action in the kings bench di.
vision in which fairs and travelling
shows were mentioned, Mr.. Justice
Lush made the admission that he did
not know what q joy-whel was. Mr..
Lewis Thomas, X. c., at once plunged
into explanations.
"A joy-wheel," he said, is a wheel
more or less on the horizontal, which
rotates with more or less rapidity
upon its own axis. People ride upon
the spinning wheel, and the nearer
one is to the periphery of the wheel
the more quickly he is thrown OF.
The more rapidly the. wheel rotates.
the more surely he is flung into

CHARACTER SHOWS IN FACE
Good Thoughts Look Out Through
Kindly Eyes and Fair Pleas
ant Features.

Our faces are open diaries. in
which any one may read the record
Of how we speed our days. what we
think, the sort Of people We are.
When we say of a man that he has
fine face" or OF woman that -she
has beautiful face we speak OF the
life back of the face. What is q
surer indication of this than when
We see a child draw away from first
glimpse of a person? What is often
so truly condemnatory as the In
stinctive remark OF child: Il don't
like her face. mammal"
Not always true, perhaps. not in
every instance is the child right. but
how often is it uneeringi
II we waste the precious passing
years in chasing butterflies and fit
ting pleasure: IL we grow hard and
narrow because OF disappointments
or through self-indulgence. 1t is reg
istered where even the child who
draws away from US reads It.
The mind that generally thinks
good thoughts, true thoughts,
thoughts fit to treasure up" looks out
upon the world through kindly eyes
and fair and pleasant features. The
face of an evil man or woman wears
a malignant saturnine aspect, that
gives the world warning of the
inner nature.
The eyes are more eloquent than
the tongue in telling others what we
are.
We never hide from discerning
eyes as much as we sometimes think
we do. Our faces invariably tell our
stories.
