dressed as an aviator, singing an ac- compartment with deep resonant voice. It is a pleasure to sit and listen to the singing Of an artist such as this one. to get away from this snap Nour-firgerp jazz style of vocalists The audience evidently appreciated high-class songs rendered in grand opera fashion if a pubic's demand for more counts for anything, as Miss Roa- tinn and Neil Barrett were recalled time and again.
 most unique, clean. clever song and dance number was that of Regal and Mack, another couple of young folks who are good to look at, and whose tal- ent puts them in Class X company as vaudeville performers. The 15 moments this pair make you feel so glad you came, you spend with them in book shop which forms the background for much of the comedy dispensed. II is one of those different acts the kind you wish there were more of.
 Stalwart Mack and winsome Miss Re- gal surely deserve capacity audience. Thomas Potter Dunn. an actor who seem ingly has been in the business long enough to be able to read his public in moment and know just how to work and what to do to receive their unani- nous approval, made his entrance with song that has something to do with married life and General Sherman. Here S a song that makes you laugh until your sides hurt. Then follows his conception of a little girl of seven singing song. Of a girl returning from Coney leland after good time. who has imbbed bit too freely to maintain her equilibrium. His take-off of the different types Of people that are to be found on pub lie conveyance must have required con- siderable study. and to say that it was clever is putting 1t mildly. The vaude- vile portion of the programme closed with pantomme aci'obatic act.
 Alvaretto, Rigo and Stoppit supply the laughs during the few minutes they hold the stage, and work hard. This was an- ether act that was bit different from the usual run of acts of it's kinfl.
 The feature picture, June Caprice in 'The Camouflage Kiss was up to the Fox standard of photopiays. and with the comedy pictures and current events, all patrons couldn't help but be satis- fled. whether it be their taste ran for vaudeville or pictures.

SIGNIFICANT MOVES.

In view of the situation which ex- ists among the central powers today, it is impossible to overlook a certain significance which is attached to the resignation of General LVdendorff, the first quartermaster seH&fal of Ger many who it is known has been enc of the guiding spirits in connection with the war programme of that coun- try.
 Great reliance has been placed upon him. To him has been ascribed the responsibility for the great drive which was made last spring. It was then that he is claimed to have insisted that he would reach Paris and the channel ports by the massed attacks which were conducted. How he fail ed and how General Foch has since driven his armies backward is famil- lar to everyone. He was a failure 1T his undertaking and it is not surpris ing now that he should be placed or Inc shelf. or, as the news has it, al. owed to resign.
 Tho resignation serves now, Q course, as an added support to thu German claim that greater power ha been placed in the hands Of the peo ple, and to the reply to President VII son that Germany is now awaiting tn terms of the allies for an armistice The terms of the armistice must b. arranged by the military advisers an must amount to surrender. Carefu attention must be given to disceri any tricks, for the kaiser still reigns even though conditions in Germany Austria Hungary and Turkey are sue that the end Is approaching.

TUMULTVs WEAK RESPONSE.

It is a pretty feeble effort which Jo- seph Humility, private secretary to the president made when at the direc- ton of President Wilson he wrote to the Cuyahoga county republican com mittee at Cleveland, in response to the protest from that committee against the presidents course in politics.
 Secretary Humility attempts to jus tify the action of President Wilson by pointing out what was done in 1898. during the Spanish American war, when Theodore Roosevelt, x-Presi- dent Harrison Senators Lodge and Penrose urged the country to go solid ly republican as an endorsement of the conduct of the war.
 Mir. Tumulty it is to be presumed has quoted them correctly, but it is quite noticeable that he has made nc reference to the fact that President Mckinley stepped forth at that time and made any such demands But even if he had the situation would net have been the same for he had not ore viously gone on record, as has Presi- dent Wilson. and declared to the country that politics is adjourned and had such policy generally ac- cepted throughout the country, only 10 right about face ten days before election and demand a more vigorous dipping into politics than ever.
 The situation today is so differen from that in 1898 that the present DO. utical drive of the president and hi party cannot fail to result to tn great benefit of the republicans.
