0ne-Thing.at-a-Time 0'Day."

Humor and sustained interest mark
the perturbation Of William Dudley
Pelley's magazine story. "One-Thing-
at-a-Time O'Day," shown at both the
Metropolitan and the Knickerbocker
yesterday. The circus scenes are so
faithful to life that the hypercritical
small lad can pick no flaw. Bert Ly-
tell, as O'Day, the small-town philos-
falling In love with the charming
equestrienne in the old-fashioned
way, wins what he attempts by his
awkward strength of purpose and
ability. Eileen Percy. as the dainty
circus rider, who thinks that she
would be tempted by a full pocket
book. even in the rough hands of
Gorilla, the shows strong man. but
who finds that the perseverance and
simple love of the young philosopher
cannot be denied, makes her part a
ness of her personality.
Thrills come when the "sma1l-town
guy" having mastered the intricacies
Of the boss" Ford car, turns his
attention to learning how to whip his
rival, the strong man. and in pursuit
of his determination chases that per-
son, who is running away with the
funds of the show, catches him by
jumping from one automobile to that
of Gorilla and accomplishes his pur-
pose before the delighted eyes of the
boss" his sweetheart and the rest of
the picturesque company.
A Sunshine comedy brings audible
smiles; the topical pictures are inter-
esting, and Mr.. Sokolove's violin solo
adds to the pleasure of a worthy en-
tertainment.

Enormous prices are being asked and
promptly paid, while the cost Of ordi-

PAY HIGH FOR ''SMOKES"
IN ITALY SINCE THE WAR
Cigars Mount in Price Almost to
Point Where They Are Unmar-
ketable-Heavy Tax.
BY Webster.

ROME, July Correspondence tof the
Associated Press).-While Americans
complain Of the advance Of u and .
cents in the price Of cigars and cigar
cites. the prices in Italy have ad-
vanced ten and twenty times that they
were formerly. Cigarettes Of the
cheapest varieties which sol d before
the war for cents a box now sell
for 20 cents and sometimes 2el Cigars
have mounted in price almost to the
point where they are unmaI:ketable.
Besides the difficulty of importing
tobacco-which, of course, adds con-
siderable to the price-th..re is in
creased taxation upon it. The govern
mental income from tobacco in pre-
war days amounted to approximately
$75,000,000 annually. Duri ng the past
fiscal year tobacco users have paid

AIM TO CLOSE WAR BOOKS
WITH BRITISH BY SEPT. !
q. s. Army and Navy Officers Hope
to Have Majority Of London
Force Home Very Soon.

LONDON, July Correspondence OF
tho Associated Press5.-American Army
and Navy officers who are trying to
close up the war financial transactions
between the United States and Great
Britain hope to have their task COM
pleted by September 1. If that end is
reached the majority Of the seventy
five Army officers and 200 men now
here win be sent home, and the Navy
force will be reduced to a few experts
to tie the last remaining strings.
Tho magnitude Of the task will be
appreciated when it is known that the
Army alone bought 2,000,0 900 tons OF
equipment and supplies here and ship
had large forces of ships which were
constantly purchasing things from Brit
ish warehouses.
1t frequently happens that errors oc-
cur. but they are quickly found and
adjusted without friction, as in the case
naval headquarters here the other day.
It carried the expenses Of an entertin-
ment given to the officers Of an Ameri-
can battleship by the officers of a Brit
ish squadron with which it had been
working. The bill had been placed in
some clerk. Tho American paymaste1
in charge tactfully returned it without
comment, and some one In the British
Office probably spent an unhappy hall
hour.
Civilian clerks are being released as
quickly as possible, and the 800 still
at work expect to be gone in two
months American Red Cross activities
also are being closed up with all pos
sible speed. md it is possible the Lon
don force will be reduced to a few ex.
pert accountants and stenographers by
August /. They. too, are paying bills
but one canteen and one hospital are
still in operation.

ONE CHILD IN Three NOW
RECEIVING U. S. RkIIONS
American Scheme Of Relief in
Czechoslovakia Reported. in
Full Swing.

PRAGUE, June 80 Correspondence
Of the Associated Press).-The Ameri-
can scheme Of child relief in Czecho-
slovakia is now in full swing. Large
quantities Of milk. cocoa and other
goods are in the hands Of the CEN
trail committee, and the feeding Of
the children has been completely Or
ganized in the different districts. Not
every child In Czechoslovakia is be-
ing fed, but only those who are ac-
tually hungry and needy. In most
districts about one child in three is
now receiving the American ration.
With the cooperation of various
national, religious and social organi-
cations, encouraged by the Czecho-
slovak government, local and district
committees have been formed to carry
on the details of the child-feeding
scheme. Food is at hand in many
places only awaiting the organization
of the local committee. Additional
American personnel has recently ar
rived from Paris, and as soon as word
is received that a community is ready
for organization representatives are
being sent out to put the relief into
operation.

COLUMBIA.

Upside Down." with Taylor Holmes
as the star the Aim feature at Loew's
Columbia Theater this week, is quite
entertaining.
The play deals with two wives, one
neglected by her husband for his
business, the other overwhelmed by
attention from hers. An Indian
swami" leads the wives to believe
they should divorce their husbands
which they do, and complications arise
which bring the two husbands to-
gether, and they decide to make the
most Of it by giving their wives rea-
sons for a divorce. These reasons"
are in the form of chorus girls, din
ner parties, etc. The reasons prove
unusually effective.
In the plot the business of the
business man" is brought in through
the stock market in a way that makes
him believe he has lost all during his
Jag" 1t develops. however. that the
other husband has made purchases
which make him even richer.
Several other good pictorial num-
beers, with a Mutt and JEFF cartoon
film, complete the bill.

the daring of his undertaking is the
romance which unexpectedly comes

"All Wrong"

A few OF the more serious draw
backs Of perpetual courtship" are
pointed out in "All Wrong" the film
comedy featuring Bryant Washburn
which was shown at Crandals Thea
ter yesterday. Warren Kent was a
poppy young salesman with ideas.
One Of them had nothing to do with
selling goods and everything to do
with the title of the photoplay. It
was that the mere ceremony of mar
rage should not in the least disturb
the relations existing between the
contracting parties before the austere
clergyman pronounced sentence.
The brides adamant mother had
other notions. Thus were complica-
tions brought into the early marital
career Of handsome theorist and an
innocent of the innocents. Mr. Kent
learns that he was "all wrong" in a
way that justifies the play and its
lesson.
Comedy and news reels and a well
arranged orchestral accompaniment
complete the bill.

ADJUSTMENTS
aARRICK-"Daddy Lone.Legs."

A capacity audience last night ap-
peared to justify the wisdom Of the
Garrick Players in continuing for a
second week their presentation Of
Jean Webster's delightful comedy,
Daddy Long-Legs." The stage story
of the slavey- orphan. Judy Abbott, of
the John Grier Home. is very effec-
lively presented by the stock COM
pany. and the audience gave adequate
evidence of it's appreciation.
Miss Eileen Wilson, in the role Gre
ated by Miss Ruth Chatterton, gives
fresh evidence of her dramatic abil-
tiles. The role of Judy gives her OPP
portunities for bits of emotional ap-
peal that she makes the most Of Miss
Wilson shares honors with Mrs Jacques
Martin. who plays again the role of
Mrs. Sample, which she created.
Earle Fox seems unnatural in gray
hair. but overcomes the handicap
with a convincing portrayal of the
dignified Jervis Pendleton. whose dis
like for women was overwhelmed by
the vivacious Judy. Lynne Overman
also makes the most of limited oppor-
tunities as James Mcbride. The Sec
ond week is marked by a generally
smoother performance.
