ALL WALKS OF LIFE AND ALL PARTS OF
 WORLD ARE REPRESENTED IN MOVEMENT
Missionaries From Every Foreign Field Aid 4O,OOO Laymen in
 Methodist Centenary.

Reinforced by leading missionaries from all parts of the world, 10000 Methodist laymen have enlisted as Methodist Minute Men throughout the land to help carry their Church's $12O,- OOO,OD0 Centenary movement to sue cess. Of this total operating in the twenty Episcopal Areas into which the country is divided, 2, 2,239 Of them are in the New York Area, which includes parts of Connecticut. New Jersey and Massachusetts. Their campaign cuI- inmates in the week of March Is to 23
 As soon as this campaign for world "healing, teaching and preaching was projected the organization known as Methodist Minute Men was proposed by Dr. Christian F. Reisner. pastor of Grace Church, New York city, one of the most up-to-date of live wire minis ters. He undertook the enlisting of the Iaymen. and he has made good be yOnd even his own expectations. The for laJion of such q body of active laymen marks a new era in the history of Christianity and means the mobiliz- Ing of a tremendous force hitherto dormant.
 HeduluG the Minute Men in this Area as their chairman is Watson & Moore, who as ecretary-treasurer of the United States Grain Commission has his headquarters in New York, though he originally hailed from Du- luJh. Ninn. Dr C. C. Marshall, rector of St. James Church iu New York, is acting as Area secretary of them. Among the prominent of the Minute Men working in the territory are lead ing lawyers, statesmen. physicians, heads of commercial houses-men from many walks of life, none of whom ever before spoke from a pulpit but all of whom know how to make d message carry. One of the most actfy @ is Frank Moss, former assistant dis trict attorney of New York

PARK

The new farce. "she Walked In Her Sleep" from the pen of Mark Swan, which has already won ap- plaUse and approval both in New York and Chicago, and produced uu- der he direction of George Broad hurst, himself an adept in the art of farce writing. will be seen at the Park theatre next Monday and Tues day.
 A great deal of its fun has to d. with the adventures that come to a somnambulating young and pretty girl whose nightly unconstitutfonaIs lead her into the apartments of two married couples. This peculiar af- fiction is otherwise complicated by an amorous manifestation which is foreign to her waking moments. The young husbands are the timorous re- cipients of her caresses and 6 great deal of the farcial complications arise when they attempt to prove their in nocence to their wives. The same brilliant company which contains many well known farceurs that were seen during the New York run of She Walked Tn Her Sleep" at the Playhouse will be in the cast for it's presentation here.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL.
Thousands Have Discovered Dr.
 Edwards Olive Tablets are
 aHarrnless Substitute.

Dr. Edwards Olive Taiy-ats-tile substi. ute for calomel - are mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneCIs. They are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calonel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets.
 These pleasant little tablets do the good that caIornel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure inc teeth like strong liquids or calonel. They talEe hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calonel Sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take it's place.
 Most headaches, 'iduliness" and that iazy feeling come from constipation and 3 disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards heavy" Note how they clear ciOuded brain and how they ''perk up' the spirits. N0c asS 26c box. Al druggists.

 One of the most injoya.ble things about flowers $ their smell Even one flower by itself causes a happy Impression if you smell it hard enuf, vile a. hole bunt@h together smells without being smelled at. This proves in union there is strength. The other most iuiOyable thing about flowers is their looks. You can never tell how a flower is going to smell by its looks, and a persin is libel to start smelling one with a hopefiH impression and stop with no Impression at all.
 The rose is one of the best looking flowers and it also has one of the best 5meus. This proves it never rains but wat it pores.

POLES

That it's possible to take a full grown musical comedy that has done it's bit on Broadway and convert it into a feature vaudeville attraction, was shown at PoITs yesterday when y---.-.. >z~od Eddie,' in it's miniature form. came to town. This musical success has been trimmed down to 7-audeyine size and it's every bit as entertaining as was the original piece That had such a vogue two seasons back. The BarthoI&mae book and the Kern lyrics are still present and the company is very adequate. Tn it's vaudeville form, ''Very Good Eddie" moves along at a suappy pace and there is action every moment
 II is presented in two sumptuous Irvnes, The principals are very 6ood and there is an active. good looking chorus that can sing and dance. 'I Love Them -tu,' Babes in the Wood'' and others are the song hits of the show.
 There is a program of other very pleasing vaud--llle acts. too. Coscia and Verdi. a pair of eccentric violin ists. can play and do tricks with their instruments. Nora Allen. singing comedienne. made herself well liked by her entertaining presentation of a good song program. Loyars Dogs, contributed one of the best canine novelties ever seen on the stage here.

EMPIRE

Much to his regret Charles Nur- ray. loaned by courtesy of Mack Sen .ctC to play a character role in Pup py Love" with lila Lee, the Para mount star. which will he shown at the Empire thea--e. today and to- morrow, was obliged to pack his kit bag and return to the Sennett studio when that picture vas completed. Not that Charlie didn't like his ia miltar quarters. but he did welcome the plunge into the 'Iegit" as he calls it. The famous Irish comedian is full of the wonder of tre Lasky plant and never tires of telling others about the great times he had while working there.
 Incidentally. Murrays work in the picture lends much clever com edy to this Lila Lee story. He has the role of the hod-carrying dad of Miss Lee, and his antics in the fashionable home of the wealthy lady who is his next-door neighbOr are said to be ludicrous in the ex- treme. He gets in wrong at the start by asking the hostess if the as sembled guests are all her boarders and has some trouble squaring him self.
 Lila Lee has a dainty. youthful role and the element of young love is the basis .nf a plot that is full of charm arC ointment R. William Eciu directed. A fine cast sup ports the star, Harold Goodwin be- ing the leading man.

PLAZA

Constance TalmadEe in her newest feature "A Lhdy's Name" scored hit with the large audience at the Plaza yesterday The story is an exceed iDsly iCts-esttug one from the pen of Cyril HGTcourt. Constance Talmadge appears at her best and does some of her sweetest acting. The story is about a girl who advertises for a husband but only does so that she may view the chara cteristiCs of her male applicants and so make a fOun- T~.-r1 for a. new story which she is writing. She has no thought of lusgIylng any Ul he 'ad" suito-s be- c.--se she is already engaged but events so turn that her engagement is broken and she finally does choose one of them who only applied to win a bet at the club, but falls in love with her. The vaudeville acts are all winners. Larimer Hudson ana Company present one of the mosl startling bicycle offerings ever staged here. There are two women in 1t and their riding and stunts surpass the wonder mark. Joyce and Lewis. a girl and boy in song and dance speciality introduce new songs and novel dances, and finish with a bur lesque Egyptian dance which Is very funny. MT. Joyce l9 also a brother of the motion pictur- star Alice Joyce. Dorothy and Buster have a well staged Kid" act that brings out the talent in both tns little stars The rendition of I'm My Mothers Fla vorite" by Mss Dorothy was excep- tionaIly well done. Frank McGowan in a saxaphone. banjo and song of ferIng was extended good applause. He played good numbers on each O. the instruments and gave an imita- tiou of the Apple Cider song as sung by Eddie Leonard. The News reel had a number of interesting cur rent events. and the Pathe Review had some splendid color scenes and analysis of motion pictures.

 Continual laughter greeted the ef- forts of Souy Ward, principal come dian of the "RoseIand Girls" at the Park theatre the latter part Of this week. MT. Ward essays the dual role of a Dutch and Hebrew impressionisr and scores heavily in both parts He is one of the best aII-around fun makers seen in this city in some time and was fully appreciated by a large audience.
 Harry Coleman runs him good second in the art of bringing smiles to the faces of his audience and in addition is an elocutionist of merit. his several recitatiOns being of high caliber.
 hittie Ni+-heI the versatile leading lady, has a good voice and a pleas ing manner and can act, better than the average burlcsque queen.
 FseatriCt Darling and DoIEe Fields are both spriEhtly and while they don't overwork themselves. they no doubt earn whatever the manage ment pays them.
 The production Is offered in nine scenes, two of them being short vaudeville skits which is somewhat of a relief from the general run of things on the burlesque circuit
 Lewis, Hunter and Cooke, compose a cowboy trio who render several good musical numbers.
 The chorus is of the average. but work in harmony and this adds to the attraciveness of the show.
