 Charles Hoey and Harry Lee. met with rousing welcome at the Park theatre at both performances yester- day when they appeared as "Jake Slotllin' and Abe Slitktn" the refin- ed lawyers in Girls De Looks" Bar ney Gerard's latest and best musical play. The show can be clasged with the best of the big wheel successes and has a wealth of talent among the principals and chorus of dazzling | beauties.
 | Hoey anad Lee, kept the house in. ] an uproar of laughter every minute they occupied the stage. Their com 1 edy is new, original and clean and | they are so full of action that they might be called the Charlie Chaplins of Burlesque. It was quite a diff cult matter for both of the clever comedians to answer all the encores they got at both performances yes terday and when they sang their fla nous parodies on popular and classic songs the house literally went wild and insisted upon more.
 Harry Kay, as Big Dan Gilligan, a politician was immense and played the part in an excellent manner. His make up was one of the best and he pictured the old time ward boss in a very faithful manner.
 The audience was somewhat sur prised at seeing one of Broadway's celebrities in the person of Ross
 Snow appear in one of inimitable characters "Heza Squirrel Food, Els
 quire' and his makeup was SC fun
 ny that he did not have to speak a
 line to get roar of laughter and
 applause from the big house which
 voted him favorite from the start.
 Josephine Younge, as Mrs. T.. Os- ton Bull" was another big favorite and Babe Burnett, as "Dotson Dash es' received a big amount of applause for her more than clever eccentrin and acrobatic dancing. She is one of the , niftiest and most versatile soubrettes : that has ever stepped before a loca' I audience and had the house with her from the overture to the fina r curtain.
 l Evelyn Stevens, Bonnie Bernice an6 Jane Pearson were voted immense 7 and got a good hand at the finish O 2 their popular numbers. Another ia

PARK

Interest in the coming week centers around the first local presentation of "Salome" at the Park.
 Reams have been written about the Dance of the Seven Veils, the dra- matic perihelion of this play, which was first presented to the public through the operatic production of "Sa@ome," the Oscar Wilde poem set to symphonic music by Richard Strauss. Readers will remember the sensation it created when first per formed by Mary Garden at the Met ropolitan Opera House, New York, the directors of which promptly banned the opera until the dance version could be altered, because of the com motion caused by the critics.
 Now comes Theda Bara, the popu- lar photoplay star, famous for her portrayals of vampire roles, with a spectacular screen version of "Sa- lome" which promises to revive all the sensation of seasons ago. This | newest of spectacular productions was made under the direction of J. 1 Gordon Edwards, who staged the wonderful Theda Bara production of | Cleopatra" This is sufficient guar antee that "Salome" has been filmed with every detail scrupuously correct as to historic precedents, and due re- ] gard for what might be termed the l dramatic decencies. No feature, It is promised, has been dragged ir merely for sensational purposes, but 1 every episode is treated strictly with a view to the dramatic development of the story, which is sufficiently thrill ! ing, Its climax is the startling dance with which the siren, Salome. wins from the mortified Herod the head of John the Baptist in a charg- CT.
 Both Miss Bara and Mir. Edwards, ! knowing that this particular episode l in the story of the scriptural siren | brought severe criticism upon those who performed the Dance of the Seven Veils before, were careful that the interpretation should be softened by lighting effects which temper its daring yet do not detract from it's re- alisn.
 Local film-lovers will have an op- portunity of seeing this latest screen sensation at the Park, where it be- gins an indefinite engagement on Sunday evening. A beautiful or chestra1 score accentuates the dra- matic potencies of the play.

other. Now press firmly as II you were
trying to force your fingers through the
box and you find that the box stays sta
tionary, showing that the centres of thrust
and resistance meet on the same line. Now
should you slide the left finger higher we
find after exerting pressure that the box
turns oyer on it's side, showing that thrust
and resistance do not coincide.
"By referring to Figures /. 2, 3 and 4, we
see by following the arrows how the action
applies to the aeroplane. In Figure /,
arrow A is the thrust, arrow is the re-
sistance. In order to correct the model
from pointing it's nose upward in fight, we
would have to set the elevators at a posi-
tive angle, but as soon as the power thrust
stopped the model would lose it's balance
and point it's nose to the ground, as shown
in Figure 2.
Figure 8 shows the model with power
thrust high and resistance low. This con-
dition would compel US to do just the oppo-
site to what we had to do for the first case,
and when the power is cut off the model
has tendency to dive upward.
Bearing this in mind we will now con-
slider what kind Of q model we will build.
THE simplest of powered models is the
rubber strand driven type. This is done by
twisting the propeller reverse way until

proposition, as it must fly alone, depending
on the design and the ingenuity Of the
builder to adjust it at all times. We might
also remember that rubber strand tightly
wound has more power Immediately after
the propeller is released than it has after

Model Aeroplane Building
as a Step to Aeronauti-
cal Engineering

THE construction principles Of the
! power driven aeroplane as opposed
to the glider are discussed in an article
in Aerial Age" on model aeroplane
building. In the glider, it is pointed out,
the only thing necessary is to throw the
model with sufficient force to keep it
moving at the proper speed; whereas in
the powered model
"the power thrust while in fight is push
ing the machine through the air while the
resistance is trying to hold it back. When
the motor stops the power thrust is cut off
and the centre Of resistance moves to an
other point, tending to throw the machine
out of balance, as the accompanying draw
ings show.
IA very easy way to study what action
the aeroplane is under is to place . small
box on table in front of you, place the
second finger of your left hand on the left
side Of the box and the right finger to tho

"An early American rado-worker, one
Amos E. Dolbear, invented and patented
an inductive telephone and telegraph sys-
tenn and actually made it talk one-half
mile His patent was issued in 1885, but
owing to the limitations of such q system
1t never materialzed into anything big. It
is really wonderful though to think that he
could transmit speech distance of one
half mile by simple induction. He used
elevated wires connected at their upper
ends to large condensers and at their lower
ends to the earth. Thomas A. Edison also

only necessary to connect up telephone

This is usually a simple matter, as the
trenches frequently run nearly parallel for
considerable distances. The listening wire
should, of course be insulated and part of
it might be camouAaged or hidden in tho
