.CentralHi
 Wins Game From Army

Coming from retirement for the sec ond time since their 1920 season closed. the Central High School Crimsons last night defeated the regimenta1 basket ball team of the Eleventh infantry of Camp Gordon 10 to :. At no stage of the game were the army athletes at all dangerous to Central
 Coach Burbage's quintet exhibited all of the fight and pep which car ried the standards or Central to unde- feated supremacy last season. Quite bit of the team work and skill with the ball also was demonstrated blythe high school lads.
 The army basketeers put up a game fight. but were unable to net the ball at all. The pass work was excellent, but the shots underneath the goal were anything but accurate. It was in this department of the game that Central excelled her opponents. the Crimson players missing very few of their open shots.
 Barks brought the audience to it's feet by two pretty shots from the cen ter of the floor Lawley and Hahn were consistent point scorers. Crane and Stubbs were best on the defensive and at passing the ball.
 Hays, guard was the sole point scorer of the army aggregation. He netted two field goals and three foul goals.
 The first half was easily Centrars. Although the Camp Gordon players scored six of their seven points in this session. the Crimsons had the run of the floor generally
 In the second half little bit of has- bsball was mixed with considerable portion of football battle royals and slug fests The army athletes fought with vim and earnestness, but were unable to stave off the inevitable
 The line-ups and number of points score by each player follow:
 Central (40)-Hahn GID and Stubbs CD, forwards; Lawley G6), center; Barks (D and Crane (2). guards. Sub xtitution, Sbugerman for Barks.

ANIMAL ACTORS A
 RARE TREAT AT LOEW'S

rare treat for the ''kiddies" and genuine entertainment for the grown ups. is Barnold's animal actors, the top-line attraction at Loew's Bijou for the last of the week. The training shown by these animals. both dogs and monkeys is nothing less than mar vicious. They present a one-act panto- mime called A Hot Time in Dogville. which has quite a plot and has some really funny and clever features. And the remarkable part of this perform ance is the fact that they have the stage to themselves, not a human be- ing appearing during the entire act.
 The offering is so far above the or dinary trained animal act that every one who loves animals should see it, and it will delight every child.
 The laughs are frequent in very clever comedy playlet, "A Business Proposal" presented by Jeff Healy and company. There are many real funny situations and bright comedy lines in this offering and the perform CTS are very capable.
 Old-time melodies never lose their charm and are especially pleasing when sung well. The University Trio are real singers and made a big hit with their song selections, which included time melodies and new song hits. Jim Haley and Jessie Noble are clever entertainers and pleased with an eccentric comedy skit introducing songs and some good dancing. Maude Kramer is probably the best woman step dancer ever seen on the local stage, and is ably assisted in the act by her partner, Kennedy.
 Blanche Sweet in The Deadlier Sex a clean, wholesome comedy drama, is the picture offering

Artist Given Enthusiastic Reception By Discrirni-
 mating Audience

Madame Frances Aida, soprano, achieved distinct triumph in her re-
 cital at the Jefferson theatre last
 night under the auspices of the Music Study Club. This charming artist is
 versatile in style, but is at her best in
 operatic music.
 In the first half of the programme
 were many novelties of rare beauty,
 but in the second half were the real fayorites.
 The great prima donna sang the aria,
 "Un bel di" from Madame Butterfly with great dramatic feeling and sym Apathy. Ii was perhaps her finest work yof the evening.
 Madame Aida has a high register and her high notes are sustained with true intonation and marvellous purity. The audience was one of the most enthusiastic of the season and the artist was most generous with her encores. In the second part she was forced to respond by repeating two of her programme songs-"The Singer" (writ- ten for and dedicated to her), and Min netonka," very tender and tuneful lyric.
 Miss Erin Ballard Madame Alda's accompanist, proved herself a pianist of brilliant technic and convincing

 Miriam Cooper. the well-known lead ing woman of the screen, is seen in the title role of the super-producton of Henry Wadsworth bOngfellow's i'm mortal poem "Evangeline.' and is well fitted by ability and by training to give beautifully sensitive interpre- tation of the role of the unhappy heroine of the great love epic.
 Miss Cooper is Baltimore girl. She was educated at the New York art school but her career as an atrist was interrupted by the call of the screen,
 Miss Coopers ability soon brought her to the front rank of screen act resses. She was firmly established ss leading woman by her prominent part in The Birth of a Nation"
 Though Miss Coopers art covers wide range of characters. she Is at her best in a Madonna-like role in which her lustrous eyes and appealing beauty are seen to exceptional advantage. The part of Evangeline is just such a role, and Miss Coopers work as the heroine is rated among the best acting ever preserved to posterity by motion pie ture photography.
