''BUTT-IN" TO
BEAT HECKLERS
Victory Loan Speakers Will get the
Jump on Critics.

Jump Oh Critics.
"Butt-inn speaking will be used to
create enthusiasm for the Victory Lib
erty Loan, and 1000 speakers are being
organized for the campaign which is
opening in the southeastern district of
Pennsylvania, severing Bucks, Mont
gomery, Delaware, Chester and Phila-
delphia counties. Other districts are
expected to adopt the "butt-in" plan
and get the jump on would-be hecklers.
These speakers will present them
selves at all meetings and will discuss
the Loan situation in a constructive
way to dispel all criticism, hostility and
heckling which might result when the
selling drive opens If the public were
not acquainted with facts in advance.
The speaking campaign was outlined
at a meeting of county representatives
in the Union League, Philadelphia,
presided over by Arthur Peek, chair
man of Group A, which includes the
southeastern counties.
Harold B. Better, who will direct
the speaking activities in this district,
declared that an appeal must be made
to the sense of decency of the Ameri-
can citizen to step up and pay the
bills incurred. The nation, he said,
needs a good reputation to figure as
a respected member of the family Of
nations-a position which it cannot
hold if il does anything toward repudi-
ating honest debt.

TWO CARLOADS OF
TRICKS FOR THURSTON
Noted Magician Carries Much Para.
phernalia As Well As Com.
plete Menagefie.

Few people except those in close
personal touch with things theatrical
have any idea of the enormous
amount Of paraphernalia that is re-
quired in production such as
Thurston. the famous ma gnician, brings
to the Shubert-Garrick Theater next
week. starting Sunday night, direct
from a run Of two months on Broad
way, New York, at the Globe Theater.
Thurston's equipment Is more COM
piete and intricate than that Of most
any other theatrical organization.
Two sixty-foot baggage cars are re-
Quired to transport 1t. and an army
of stage hands, electricians and
mechanicians are required TO put it
up, operate and take down this vast
lot OF property.
The equipment and properties Of
Thurtson take In a large and varied
assortment. He carries a small size d
menagerie, a whole flock of chickens,
pigeons, ducks and geese, to say
nothing of a big lioness which is the
pet of the whole company.
This Information will correct the
impression held by most people that
Thurston gives a one-man show, that
his performance is confined to slight
of-hand tricks and simple illusions.
The magnitude of the magician's at
Il action this season is better under
stood when the physical side of It
IS compared with such productions
as The Follies" and the Winter
Garden, and other big girl and music
shows.
