The industrial upheaval plays the
main part in the decision of the old
er men. In the first rush for demob-
ilization no man was permitted to go
who had not definite offer of en-
ployment. The government did all
in it's power to make certain that
such offers were bona-fide but in spite
of every precaution thousands OF men
got their release on bogus papers.
These men soon found themselves In
an unenviable position. They could
not get work and they faced some
very uncomfortable inquiries If they
applied for the out-of-work pay pro-
vided for those who are idle through

cruit, was not blind to his opportuni

! A third factor of minor but rea
importance is the fact that numbers
of men who have been home on lib

whatever his foibles and his short

At the Burtis.
Richard earle will play an en-
gagement at the Burtis, Davenport,
on Sunday matinee and night in
lis latest musical comedy, "Furs
and Frills." Besides furnishing
Mr.. earle with one of the best
comedy roles of his career, the
character of Mac lavish is said to
be replete with comedy of the COM
polling sort that serves to keep the
audience in a condition of alternate
smiles and laughter.
"F'urs and FrilIs," has to do with
the tale Of a coat An extravagant
wife of a librettist bought a Rus
sian sable coat worth $4,000 at a
bargain sale while touring, and be-
fore she can explain to her hus-
band. it is stolen by her brother
and pawned for $50. 1t is redeem
ed and then pawned again, and
finally comes into the possession
of the wife of the librettist's friend,
the composer. Mistaking it for a
Christmas gift from the composer,
his stenographer accepts the coat
and leaves for her home. BY this
time the entire cast has become
ingeniously entangled in the tails
of the coat, and it is only through
a series of complicated explana-
tions that everyone is able to ex-
tricate themselves.

"Salome," with Theda Bara as
the notorious ward of Herod, cele-
brated in song and story, will be
at the Black Hawk theatre tomor-
row and Sunday. General atten-
ton was first directed to this
scriptural siren, as transplanted to
the stage, when Richard Strauss,
grand opera Of that name, with
Mary Garden in the title role, was
banned at the Metropolitan opera
house after its first performance.
Miss Bara's proven proficiency as
a portrayer of superwomen war
rants the assumption that in the
character Of Salome she, above all
others who interpreted the role In
one guise or another, reveals the
true psychology of this strange
creature OF history. A further vfr-
tue, it is pointed out, is that no un-
due liberties have been taken with
the story for theatrical effect. In
the main, the account given by the
great Jewish historian, Josephus,
las been faithfully followed.
