At the Columbia.

Rite Mario and company of 10
described as IAN avalanche of mel
ody and pretty girls is the fea-
tured act at the Columbia theatre
Ior the first half OF the week, bill
commencing Sunday Rita Mario,
a musical genius, has trained the
girls Tor long time with the re-
suit that the effect is an excellent
combination Of harmony.
Rita Mario is today one Of the
foremost conductors of music
among women She has had a mu-
steal career little short of marvel
Gus. Practically brought up on the
stage, she appeared as solo violin
ist when but years of age with a
company of professional children
IN Boston, winning immediate ia
Yor. A year later, she went abroad
and was not heard of publicly until
four years later, after intensive
study under the great masters, she
was chosen to follow Nine. Ca
milla Urso on a tour of the prin-
cipal vaudeville houses of the
country. The appearance of this
wonderful organization may be con-
strued to be one of the real must
cal events Of the season. There
are solos for violin, harp and other
instruments and by way of novelty,
there are solos for xylophone.
Frear, Baggett and Frear in
baseball idiocyncracies" will pre-
sent timely novelty with a spe-
cial production. The boys are ex-
perts at the comedy Juggling game
and their stunts are certain to
prove pleasing.

piano. will render the popular bal
lads and rag numbers of the day.

fore but his act is better than ever.
It is running over with originality
and makes a decided hit. Like base

in their idiosyncrasies dealing with
the great national game will please
you. This trio has the goods and
knows how to put over their stuff
rather a rare combination. The
songs and dances which Redman

Everything and a little bit more
in the way of q musical diversion
is "Oh, Grille, Grille" appearing
at the Illinois on Saturday, Oct. 4,
for two performances.
It is a genuinely funny farce, a
rollicking story, supplemented
pleasantly by a sparkling musical
score, linking together a dozen or
more clever lyrics, and the en-
tirety possesses more points of
comic interest than anything on
its order this season.
A very great deal of the comedy
brilliance is made doubly clever by
the drolleries of Joseph Shriner,
Morton and Gibson and Ann Ray
mond.
The music Of ".Oh, Grille, Grille"
is tuneful in the extreme, the

THEATRE

The three Melvin brothers, an
acrobatic trio, whose daring leaps
and catches surprise the onlookers,
will complete the bill. These three
men are doing stunts which the
great majority of acrobatic acts
have never even attempted. There
will be the usual Kilograms, show
ing the important happenings Of
the week in motion pictures. Kino-
grams should not be confused with
ordinary news pictures as they are
up to the moment and show things
which happened within the past
few days.

prices. Bring them back to reaching
distance. Then his demands for wage
increase when he is already drawing

able than he will care for them to.
1t will take rigid food control to
dot it.. We paid II cents a pound for
sugar during the food control when it
was scare that it had to be
apportoned Now we have fair
supply and no war al all. Is
thrYe any good reason why we should
pay twelve to fifteen cents a pound for
it? 1t is the same with flour. A large
part of all that is due to arbitrary in
creases,- plain profiteering The man
who takes the unreasonable prices
doesn't care whether the railroads
make or lose for the government He
doesn't care what the wages of the
laborng man are. He knows if there
is a strike and the hungry striker
goes back to work at larger salary,
he will get that l,cre ased in the food
supply.
1t is the governments duty to re-
lieve this situation and that without
delay. 1t can be done. The rising
price of food commodities can be
checked 1t can be taken out of stor-
age where millions OF tons of 1t are
boarded When we get that relief, we
will have no more unrest and threats
of violence, or if we do, they con bet
ter be handled, because of the fact
that arabilized food prices removes
their excue.
The quickest way to bread and but
ter at reasonable cost for t0mOr-
rows meal is the main thing. We be-
lieve the government sees that and
will act with a view of getting results.
