PARK

With one of the most formidable casts ever promulgated for the pur- pose of Purlesque entertainment, Pe- ter s. Clark's famous "Oh GirT' com pany will arrive at the Park theatre
 on Thursday for its three days en- Sagement The two-act book,
 Friendly Rivals" is guaranteed to supply all the laugh stimulant that an audience with a craving for good comedy could desire. There is an especially strong cast of comedians and all have roles which make them important factors in the delightful story which is told Fannie Vetter IS one of the illuminating personal ties of the cast Johnnie Jess is cast In the Irish comedy role of Michael Casey, who is 8 hotel proprietor and who has political aspirations. Danny Murphy enacts the role of Anton Blitz, Casey's rival and many of the scenes between these two are con- Yulsingly funny. Evea Lewis, the sOubrette, impersonates a vampire. and Blanche Rose gets much comedy out of the eccentric character of Elizabeth Sniffens, the housekeeper. Others in the cast who make much of their opportunities are Fred w. Taylor, Billy Barlow and Jessie Tay- Tor. As the name of the company suggests the girls of the organiza- ton are laid much stress on. They | more than hold their own as a su- ] perior beauty aggregation, with sing ing and dancing ability and a nat ual knack for wearing the elaborate l and expensive costume creations which have been provided for them They figure in many musical numbers and dances which are unique and fal away from the customary type ot 1 musical numbers and dances so com- mon in this form of amusement. The best of scenic artists have devised settings which represent: A conserva4 tory, a garden, reception hall, 2 roof garden, Times Square and {

BUSINESS PROSPECTS.

The rapid development of peace prospects has brought the problem of postwar reaidljustment into immedi- ate view. The first effect is seen in a spirit of hesitation. Buyers are dis posed to hold off on purchases and sellers are more inclined to let goods go. The grain markets show weak ness. It is clear though that peace is considered @ bear argument in the grains. In the long run peace un- doubtedIy will bring lower prices for all fooodstuffs, but it is difficult to see how it can do so in the near future
 Early in the war it was considered that the opening of the DardaneIles would release stores of Russian grain, but Russia has no stores to spare now. Moreover, Russian conditions are so unsettled that it is doubtful if that country will have any grain to export next year. As soon as peace is established, Central Europe will want foodstuffs in large quantities. All the countries that are on rations will want liberal supplies, and neither Europe nor America can produce any more food before next summer. Australia has two crops of wheat in store but the transportation problem will be troublesome for more than a year l Argentine supplies have been pretty well moved out; the new crop, upon which cutting will begin in about a
 month. promises about the same yield i as last years. Food Commissioner Hoover, who is thoroughly informed
 says that it is even more necessary
 to conserve food supplies during the
 ensuing year than it was last year,

Behind 5HE FootIights
POLES

Both vaudeville and picture pro- grame at Polrs today excel the ordin- ary bill by a very wide margin and it might be said that the patrons of Bridgeport's popular playhouse are being given a wonderful treat In the combined entertainment Dorothy Gish, who has been added to the se- feet field of real picture stars since her wonderful work in Hearts Of the World" appears today in her greatest triumph, Battling Jane," a feature photoplay produced by the Artcraf- company, which shows her to the greatest advantage. Joe De Kos Troupe heads the vaudeville section of the big show with truly wonder full offering beautifully staged and presented by a large company.
 One of the big features on the bill bannens to be Bonita and Hearn, one Of the cleverest comedy teams In vaudeville. This team has been to England and the European Continent several times recently; they were en- gagged for a run of nine weeks at the Palace theatre, London.
 Chiyo-San and Company, present aI exceedingly pretty and original act ell titled "A Japanese Honeymoon' which is considered the very best en- tertainment that this talented com bination has ever offered the public Marconi and Fitzgibbon may well pt Called the Musical Aces whll' sprauge and McNeece are wizards or skates.

GERMANY AGAINST
 DEFENSIVE WAR.

A purely defensive war is against German genius It could not De waged without risk of disruption CT the empire and internal revolution. This revolution would probably take a. Bolsheyik form, and the treble fear of 2. revolution, of air raids on the Rhine industrial towns if war is trans ferred to the German frontier, and Of invasion, has made Westphallan com mercial magnates hitherto chauVinls- tic anxious for peace. There is a strong probability that the Germans will not take the risk of continuing the war but will make peace on al- most any terms Bat much depencS on the nature of the guarantees that naval and military leaders exact az price of armistice. It may be doubt ed whether their demands will be as high as they have been put in Eng fish papers. Moreover, as certain re-
 cent observations of Lord Milnel have shown, there is a strong feeling that it is better to have an organized | government to negotiate with, ana that a purely revolutionary and ana@- | chistie government in Germany would 1 give us far more trouble.
