PARK

At the Park theatre commencing Thursday, Dec. 19, three days, 'The Golden Crook Company" one of the strongest of burlesque offerings will be the attraction. Messrs.- Jacobs and Jermon are the pioneers of or ganized burlesque and they know, if any one knows, what constitutes a really good show. While the title of '"The Golden Crook" Is never changed the entertainment is entirely new, each season in every particular. This season it is in the nature of a Broad way two dollar musical production and contains many features that have hot yet reached Broadway. It is one of those entrancing girhe shows with gorgeous and spectacular scenic and electrical effects that dazzles the eyes and cures the worst case of the grouch imaginable? Fun reigns su- preme being furnished by such wide ly known performers as Billy Arling- ton, Americas foremost tramp com edian; Eleanor Cochran; Geo. Doug las, Harlie Bayne, Edward Hennessey Walter Leroy, Carl Taylor, the Pal Mall Trio and Hite & Ref1ow, not for getting the chorus, which is compos ed of girls who possess natural beau. ty of face and figure and who car sing and dance.

EMPIRE

Destiny or the Soul of a Woman which will be shown at the Empire theatre, on Monday and Tuesday, also has the distinction of being Miss Stevens first photo-play. Although already great actress, it made Emily Stevens name. resound around the world. It was writteen by Anthony P. Kelly. author of My Own United States" and directed by Edwin Ca- rewe, both of whom have a long list of successes to their credit. Metro made the production which in itself is a sufficient guarantee of the genu- inc merit of the production.
 Miss Stevena who has just com pleted a season on Broadway in Alan Dale's ''The Woman of the Future, |" is a niece Of Mrs. Fiske and like Mrs. Fiske is an actress of great versatility. Many of Americas foremost critics regard her as the greatest emotional actress in America. Certainly she is second to none. These rare talents of Miss Stevens are seen at their best in "Destiny,'' the role which she plays 50 artistically, calling for the Gelin- cation of three distinct periods and phases of a woman's IHe.

BRITISH NAVY
 CELEBRATED

London, Dec. -(Correspondenc of The Associated Press)-A vast chorus of siren whistles from q thousand fighting ships split the a1r when the British Grand Fleet receiv- ed the news of the signing of the armistice. First the thirty-mile line of vessels sprang into light Then, suddenly, the great fleet of battleships, cruisers, torpedo destroy CTS, mine-layers and patrols united in one huge, synchronized diapson that startled the hearers for 8 ra- dius of a hundred miles. The tre- mendous sound re-echoed amongst the hills otn both shores, awesome in its intensity.
 A hundred searchlights, which for four years had resolutely watched the skies, or peered steadfastly along dark waters for enemy craft, merrily criss-crossed about the sky. Flares were lit, star shells fired, and here and there some of the greater ships were fortunate in a fireworks dis play.
 For sixty minutes the Fleet threw off all reserve and let itself go. At g o'clock the sirens suddenly silenc- ed, the lights snapped out and the Grand Fleet was again waiting and watching and ready, and scarcely had the last sounds died away than from the Admirals' ships there were Winking at the mastheads the orders for further duty.

CzERNIN TELLS
 NEGOTIATIONS
 WITH RUSSIANS

Vienna, Tuesday, Dec. 1o-Count Czernin, the former Austro-Hungar- ian foreign minister in issuing the substance of notes kept by, him during the Brest-Litovsk negotiations, shows the various steps taken by the Gen. tral powers and Russia at that time.
 He says the Russians proposed a referendum for Poland after German forces had been withdrawn, but that the Germans wanted a "plebiscite during occupation" Austrian media ton was unsuccessful up till Dec. 29, 1917, when negotiations were broken off. When meetings were resumed on Jan. 6, 1918, Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik foreign minister of Russia, l disagreed with the. Germans on the question of territory which should be 1 included in the referendum.
 | At that time, Count Czernin says 1 Austria proposed a general policy o1 a. referendum during occupation, with extensive safeguards against influenc- l ing the voting." Austria, however failed, he says, because of Ukrainiar claims to Hungarian and Polish dis tricts and because of the critical food situation in Austria.

DID DOCTORS
 KILL WASHINGTON

It was 119 years ago today that George Washington died, a victim, it has been said, of the doctors. The Father of His Country" was then in his 67th year, but was still hale and hearty up to within short time be- fore his death. On the 18th of De- cember he was exposed in the saddle to a sleet storm for several hours and
 upon his return to shelter was found to be suffering from severe cold. He was put to bed and a doctor was sent for. The malady, diagnosed as mem- braneous croup, did not respond to the usual treatment for a cold, and the illustrious patient was repeatedly bled. That he might have recovered except for this treatment is. of course, only a guess but it is certain that the medical profession of today would emphatically condemn such treat ment. The great statesman and sol dier died before midnight on the 14th, his last words being, Tt is we'll

ANNIVERSARY OF TONTsON,
 FAVORTTE e MONARCHS

This is the 203rd anniversary of the death of Thomas Tenison, archbishop of Canterbury, who played an inn portant role in the elevation of the Hanovarian dynasty to the English throne. He was favorite of King William and Queen Mary, and at tended both of them in their last hours. In 17O2 he crowned Anne ths Queen of England, and, after her death, he became one of the most in- f1uential supporters of the claims of the Hanovarians to the crown.
 England was then rent by the quar- rel over the succession, a majority of the people favoring the accession of James the "Pretender," a brother of Queen Anne. Ia the face of the pop ular, opposition, the activity of the whigs was more than a match for the strength of the Jacobites and tories. The Elector of Hanover mounted the throne as George L, the Archbishop of Canterbury performing the coro- nation rites, and in spite of the fact that he was 8 most unpopular mon arch he was never in serious danger of losing the throne.
 Archbishop Tenison did not long survive to bask in the favor of the first ruler of Q new dynasty, for he died at London on Dec. 14, 1715, only a little more than year after he had crowned George I.
 In spite of the fact that George I. owed no small debt of gratitude to the Archbishop, there was little of Q i7o To T., coronation ceremony It has been all legged that Tenison was the. originator of the bon mot to the effect that George I. was fond of nothing but punch and fat women" The King and his German attendants openly sneer- 1 ed at the customs, language and lit erature of the English.

WEST END

Vivian Martin is keen student of the psychology of clothes. She does not believe that clothes are always needed to make a girl pretty and fas- cinating, and you'll agree with eher after you see 'Mirandy Smiles," her new Paramount picture, which is be- ing presented at the West End theatre today, matinee and night. In the charming photoplay Miss Vivian is seen as a scrub girl and during the first part of the picture she wears cos tunes that are-well, comic rather than beautiful.

VICTORIA's C0NsORT

This is the 57th anniversary of the death of Prince Albert, husband of the late Jueen Victoria, who passed away, after a short illness, on Dec. 14, 1881. It is through Prince Albert that the British royal family is related to the ruling house of Belgium, as his fathers brother, Leopold, became the first King of Belgium. Prince AL bert's elder brother, Ernest IT., Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. died in 1893, and was succeeded by Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh. The only son of the latter died in 1899, when the Duke of Connaught became heir presumpt- i've to the German duoal throne. Both the Duke of Connaught and his son, Prince Arthur, renounced their claims to the succession in favor of Charles Edward, Duke of Albany, who suc- ceeded in 1900, and was an officer in the Kaiser's army. The remains of Prince Albert lie beside those of the Queen in the mausoleum built by Vic toria at Frogmore.
