ADJUSTMENTS
orpheum.

Monday nights Orpheum audience
found little in the bin to really en-
thuse except the Rigoletto brothers,
whose act is billed as headliner along
with Master Gabriel and company, and
The Princess Radjah. The Rigoletto act
Is the headliner alone, II Mondays au-
diences' approval a be taken as a cri-
terion. The Rigolettos stopped the
show at both performances and only a
curtain speech at the end of the act
both afternoon and evening, quieted the
elamor for more. They present al Of
fering they call Around the World. =
and 1t Is Well named. A miniature
vaudeville show it Is, within a show,
and furnishes diversity Of amusement
lacking in other portions of the bill.
From the opening, where the two broth
ers appear as magicians, until the fin
ish of the act, when they come on as
Italian street musicians, monkey n
all, the offering is bright and clean,
each phase leaving just enough clamor
for more to make the act get over well.
In the Swanson sisters, one with a
beautiful soprano voice, the other with
S,400-candlepower eyes "and every
thing" the Rigoletto boys have a pair
Of meal tickets they should never lose.
The girls dance well and are worth a
visit to the orpheum merely to look at,
A duenna travels with the Swanson sis
ters. Charley and Henry Rigoletto
could well afford to hire a coruon OF
soldiers II there was IN possibility of
losing this priceless pair.
For the rest of the bill little need be
said, Princess Radjah," whose name
probably Is McGinnis from the way she
unnecessarily cursed Ike kahn's most
excellent orchestra Monday night, has
the same act as of yore. The music
and lighting effects are good. Fol- the
rest the least said the better. Even the
snake is smaller than on previous visits
The woman is larger.
Master Gabriel's act, Little Kick,
enables the d~iminutive actor to display
some of the cleverness he showed III
ltfLittle Memo and other productions Of
the past, but the act Is not of the cal
iber to- bill as, a. headliner for the two-a'
day.
Edith Clifford, with a mediocre voice
and ditto pianist, put over a pair ol
song numbers fairly well, fCerine Til
ton essays a feature act, "A Chattef-
box Doll and tires the audience witt
trying to do too much. The costume;
and music are good, however.
Kitner and Reaney, in AN Ocear
Episode" put a bright spot in the pro
gram with some blackface chatter anc
songs. The audience liked the songs
better than the chatter. The straight
man has a good voice and uses it well
The ~blackfaee portion OF the team

fortunately was not maintained, Kin

There Is good enough in the bill, per
haps, to offset the bad, and after al

TIME

The congress has been in session 1873 days, and with the
single exception OF passing a resolution to submit the woman
suffrage amendment to the constitution, it has not put through
a single constructive measure.
The house has spent its time talking about prohibition, a
soldiers land bill, some petty Investigations and other matters
OF small consequence. The senate has been more consistent in
the direction of its energies, The entire time has been spent in
denouncing the league OF nations.
During the last days of the Sixtyfifth congress six appro-
priation bills were framed and ready for passage, but were killed
by a Republican f1ibuster for the purpose of forcing the presi-
dent TO call an extra session.
The congress is in complete control of the Republicans,
The president has urged action repeatedly.
lie has asked the senate to ratiy the peace treaty,
lie has asked the congress to pass railroad legislation.
lie has asked the congress to pass laws applying to prof.
iteers and spectators. E
The prohibition enforcement bills are still pending.
The food control bill is still in conference.
1t may be several weeks before final action is taken on the
treaty.
The congress is proceeding according to the Bolshcvik sched.
ue OF no work IN the forenoon, two hours off for lunch and
undisturbed rest in the afternoon. But the Republicans are in
charge OF the job, and they are bossing = il in their own way.

New Lyric.

In making your theatrical flights this
season don't miss seeing "Going Up"
a musical comedy that has been the
vogue In New York for nearly two sea-
sons. In the first place it has the solid
foundation of a really amusing and CO.
herent plot. In the second place a cap
tivating score. In the third place 1t has
a spirited, well-chosen and good 10
look at chorus.
A musical comedy that measures up
to these standards is too good to be
overlooked. To begin with, its story is
one Of the best that has been related
in play form in years, Its book and
lyrics by Otto Harbach and James
Montgomery are snappy and full OF
pep and its music by Louis A. Hirsoh
tuneful and whistly, and to end with,
it Is presented by Cohan and Harris,
and this fact alone should be sufficient
guarantee of it's wcFth-whileness
Therefore, we repeat. in making up
your program of amusements don't
| overlook Going Up" which will be the
attraction at the Lyric theater on
Thursday and Friday nights, with a
special matinee on Friday,

THE PEsSIsiIST.

There's been a whole lot written of the value of a smile,
But still the Teller that goes round a-smhin' all the while
And don't do nothin' else but smile, no matter what is said, "a
Don't seem in this. worlds goods to get so very far ahead. -
You'll hear this idee harped on by the optimistic crowd;
.e There is q silver linint bright to every gol ding cloud.
But when thecoudt dBsoves' tn air and disappears from view,
The silver inin' gen'any dissolves in thin air, too.
The darkest hour comes just before the dawn they love to say.
Although your own perhckler dawn is 20 years away.
1t never helps the Teller much that's workfu in the ditch
To hear that some day, possibly perhaps he may be rich.
The optimiss and pesimists can argue pro and con,
And thrash out al. the questions that they are debatn' on.
But after all Is said and done, think that YOU will find
That misery or happiness is just a state of mind,
There is good money in writing short stories for the magazines
good money for the federal government, for you must begin by buying
about IA bushels Of 2-cent stamps. That is the first step in becoming
a successful story writer, The rest is easy. All you have to do Is to
get an idea and then write a bright, breezy story around it, There are
various ways OF capturing elusive ideas.
The most practical is the personal experience way. You can go
out in the street and be run over by an ice wagon or be bumped by an
automobile. Either one Is liable to suggest something romantic. Per-
haps the ice wagon driver had a pretty daughter and she may nurse
you back to robust health, and you may find an affinity riding in the
auto which bumps you.
After you have your short story all written, all you have got to
do Is to sell it. That's where Uncle Sam comes to your assistance, He
with a 2-cent stamp inclosed for each return trip. 1t is very simple
After you have sent your story to all the magazines, start it all over
You are then 26 years old and the story has been written five
years. When You reach the age of so your story will be paid for; and
when you are 95, If you are very lucky, you will see your story in
print and your grandchildren will read it to you.

MOUing Pictures
Strand.

The 'one girl in the world idea
doesn't bother Wallace Reid in his
new Paramount Aircraft picture, '"The
Lottery Man." which will be shown at
the Strand theater today and Wednes-
day. Come one, come all" is his in
vitation to the ladies', the only stipu-
lation being that each pay a dollar for
an opportunity to marry him. The re-
suit, according to the story, is a mad
scramble on the part of some 800, 900
females to lead the handsome star TO
the altar, In the meantime he has
shattered his cynical thoughts on mar
riage by falling in love with s'the only
girl" It's the merry climax OF the
briskest Reid picture yet when he
wiggles out of his difficulties and wins
both a fortune and the girl.

Prior to going into the army he had

trainer. He had never had trouble with
the lioness before.
While the main part of the circus
was exhibiting in the big tent Henry
entered the honess's cage. which con-
nected with cage in which there were
several cubs. He went through into the
cubs compartment and started to play
with them. The lioness forced open
the door between, and instantly killed
Henry by fastening her Jaws st the
back of his neck.
There was a small, sized panic in
the big tent and throughout the village
