Besides the full company of Poi Players several additional artists have been engaged as we'll as a troupe of 20 real Down South darkes who will assist in the entertainment by de- picting scenes on the old plantation during the slavery days.

Little Men and Bfu Jobs.

Among the chiefest enemies of man. kind is the individual who seizes job for which he is too little. If he is a tailor, his coats make other human beings fear the light of day. If he builds buildings they tumble down and mangle those who occupy them. If he is an oculist he puts out his patients
 eyes, or if surgeon he is prone to cut off the wrong leg. In all of hfe's sit nations the little man in the big job causes misery. but most of all he meets disaster when he meddles with the af- fairs of nations-Detroit Free Press.

EMPIRE

Marguerite Clark, the daintiest, post charming and loveable of all he screen stars, is to appear at the Empire theatre today and tomorrow, n her newest Paramount photoplay, Prunella," adapted from the stage ence Housman, in which she appear 6> on the stage a few years ago.
 Miss Clark's father was a promin- Tt merchant of Cincinnati, Ohio, but It is a safe wager that her recom- Pcnse for acting before the all-seeins ye of the camera is greater than her respected daddy ever received for his business. She is the only member Pf the family bitten by the bug 'stageitis.' She was nabbed early in life by this virulent insect and the Fymptoms became evident in her thildhood-not so very many years Lgo-when amateur theatrtcals gave her a start
 She has been on the stage ever Bfnce, having made her professional debut with the famous Aborn Com
 
 C musical comedy, played a number pf successful engagements in drama Rnd straight comedy, appearing in Jim the Penman" and Baby Mine" 'She created the role of Zoie in the alter at Chicago. Other of her plays were Lights O London,' and Affairs of Anatole" Later she created the title role of Snow 1White," which has since become one of her best-known photoplays as has .''Prunella," which was her last stage appearance.
 The dainty Marguerite owes her screen debut to a stunning photo graph of herself in "Prunella," which came to the attention of Adolph Zu- kor, president of the Famous Play |ers-Lasky Corporation. He went .straightaway to see the play and hav- ling seen, came again and again. Each time he studied the little star more and more carefully and became more and more impressed with her beauty and personality.
 The outcome was that she was en- gagged to play "Wildflower" for the screen and since that time has never gone back to the legitimate stage. having appeared in many Paramount photoplays in which she has scored hits, both in this country and abroad.

ANNOUNCES CRUMsLING OF TEU TONIC FRONT IN MACEDONIA
 AFTER HARD STRUGGLE.
WANTS HONORABLE PEACE
Declares Hour Is Grave, But Trusting Gods Gracious Help, We Believe Ourselves Strong Enough To De-
 fend Fatherland, Says Kaiser.

Berlin.-Emperor William issued a proclamation to the German army and navy in which after announcing that the Macedonian front had crumbled, he declared that he had decided, in accord with the allies, to again offer peace to the enemy.
 The text of the emperor's proclama- tion reads:
 For months past the enemy with enormous exertions and almost with out pause in the fighting has stormed against your lines. In weeks of strug- gles, often without repose, you have had to persevere and resist numer- ically far superior enemy. Therein lies the greatness of the task which has been set for you and which you are fulfilling. Troops of all the Ger man states are doing their part and are heroically defending the father land on foreign soil Hard is the task.
 My navy is holding it's own against the united enemy naval forces and is uHWd'oliu6iy SupPOIIlu tuo dIluy III it's difficult struggle.
 "The eyes of those at home rest with pride and admiration on the deeds of the army and navy. I ex- 'rcss to you my thanks and the thanks of the fatherland.
 "The collapse of the Macedonian front has occurred in the midst of the hardest struggle. In accord with our allies I have resolved once more to offer peace to the enemy, but I will only extend my hand for an honora- ble peace. We owe that to the he roes who have laid down their lives for the fatherland, and we make that our duty to our children.
 Whether arms will be lowered is question. Until then we must not slacken. We must, as hitherto, exert all our strength unwearily to hold our ground against the onslaught of our enemies.
 "The hour is grave, but trusting in your strength and in Gods gracious help, we feel ourselves to be strong enough to defend our beloved father land. (Signed.) WILHELM.
