shape of the head are necessary to
what is PECULIARLY known as good
looks, but although these are points
of value, if they are without eyes
and voice, it's like a watch without
a spring. In other words. the spark
of human natures greatest endow-
ment. the soul is missing. A chorus
girl with little culture of schools, but
possessed of this spirit, shows it in
a grace of manner and kindness of
voice and eyes that l always con-
slider real beauty. She is always re-
spectful and self-respecting and that
is an asset of personality that goes
farther in pleasing people than the
cold clearness Of those with exFeri-
ence. which ices feeling and hard
ems looks and voice.
"My big aim is to have a chorus
of 40 under 20. 1t is the age period
of zest and relish, and, with the
foundation of good nature, as |
have suggested, the way is made
easy for a stage performance in a
big show that does not offend from
too much maturity or bored famil-
iarity"
Last year Mr.. Hitchcock was a
regular manager, paying about as
much attention to the front of the
house" as TO the stage. AS the year
progressed. it seemed necessary for
him to choose between the two.
The stage won and he decided to
keep on spreading the gospel Of
good cheer from the footlights, The
present "Hitchy-Koo" of 1918 is
managed by A. L. Granger, Charles
Dillingham; and Florenz Ziegfeld,
all top-notchers in this kind of work.
The present offering has about 20
scenes and adheres to the general
plan of entertainment that made
Hitchcock popuiar.

n AYMOND HITCHCOCK
n comes to the Brandeis theater
~ January 10, 20 and Fl. Also we
fling him a salutation-but not for
the same reason. Rather because he
isn't great actor and because we
enjoy him Just about as we'll as if
he were. We imagine that he would
be the first to put his hand in front
of his face and giggle if anyone inti-
mated that he would some day fit
the shoes of Richard Mansfield.
Hitchcock's mission in life isn't
to act, but rather to exhibit himself
as he really is for our entertain
ment. Probably the pessimist wish
es that he could smile. We all look
at Hitchcock and wish that we were
as happy as he appears to be. He's
fine tonic because he is assuredly
one of the funniest fellows on the
stage of our theater.
Aside from all that. he is a good
Snowman. He knows what people
like and he gives it to them. He's
not only a comedian, but he has the
comedic sense that warns him what
will be pleasing to all who go up to
the theater to see and hear. 1t has
been said that he has as many corn
ers as a Queen Anne cottage. He
has. And you never know just
which angle will be thrust forth
prominently. Usually, however, he
will make you giggle as a first con-
sideration, and then he'll not be lax
in providing something to please
your eyes.
Hitchcock is an adept at the Sc
lection of decorative chorus. Some
body asked him how he did it and
he replied that eyes and voice were
the best guide. "In them you can
best read real human nature" he
added. "Of course a good figure is
an essential, fine features and the

never seen before. Possessed of a
great deal of natural beauty and
charm, they have made dancing as
much part of their lives as the pro-
cess of breathing, eating, drinking
and their work shows the effect OF
it in the most desirable manner.
Artistically, their offering is a SYM
phony Of color, music and move
ment. They carry their own pianist
and are thus able better to synchro-
nize the music with the dancing.

P0AcHERs CAUGHT
GAME WARDENs HEIKKILA AND
WOODS GET THREE MEN
FROM BIWABIK.

Game wardens Oscar Heikkila and
George Wood left here Sunday for
the Birch Lake district south of here
where according to advices poachers
We're operating. The wardens sue
ceeded in locating a car late Sunday
evening and to be promptly on the
spot they remained in the car. Early
Monday morning three men with
pack sacks came from the woods to
the car and were very much sur
prised to find the wardens there. They
were placed under arrest and taken
to Virginia. The wardens confis-
Gated the homeless carcass of moose,
five nets, two sacks of fish, two rifles
and a headlight.
The men arrested were Albert and
Edwin Nyquist and Herman Hyonen
of Biwabik and in connection with
the arrest Albert Nyquist made the
following sworn statement:
81, Albert Nyquist, arrested today
by the game wardens, make the fol-
lowing voluntary confession:
"That the moose found in our
possession Sunday night on Birch
lake was shot by Herman Hyonen of
the Chicago location. My brother.
Edwin Nyquist made the drive and
stood with my rifle near by but did
not get a shot.
I'VE shot the moose, young bull,
about mile from Birch lake and
skinned it out and boned it taking
only the meat which the wardens
caught US with.
"The headlights / bought from
Matt Lofacka's hardware store, Vir-
ginia. The five nets we had set in
Birch Lake we brought with us from
Biwabik, three We're ours and the
other two belonged to Herman Hy-
omen. This is our second trip TO
Birch lake this year; we went first
in the month of July with George
Rivers and John Anderson, who are
now driving a truck on the county
road at Eveleth.
1--WE divided the fish between the
four of us. The above statement is
true and is made without hope of
leniency on the part of any court of
justice.

On motion of defendants attorney
to dismiss the action of Elizabeth
Pete VS.. Jacob Lampi and co-defend-
ants the Aetna Casualty & Surety
Company and the Southern Surety
Company which was on trial in Dist
riot Court before Judge Cant, the
judge dismissed the action with the
statement that the dismissal was
without prejudice to the plaintiff
right to bring suit later.
The plaintiff alleged in her COM
plant that her husband Herman Pete
died on Dec. 20, 1917, from the ef-
fects of alcoholic drink obtained
through habitual visits to Lamps
saloon then in operation.
She charges in her complaint that
for several years her husband visited
the saloon and that Lampi contin-
ued to sell liquor to him in spite OF
her repeated protests and the service
of legal notice on the defendant to
stop selling liquor to her husband.
Plaintiff claims that she sent her two
sons to Lampi to beg him to refuse
liquor to her husband but without
avail.
The plaintiff further alleges that
her husband was a sober and indus
trious citizen prior to his visits to
the defendants saloon, a man capa-
BILE of earning $4,000 a year as a
