ADJUSTMENTS
Orpheum.

A significant event of the winter
vaudeville season is promised In the
bill which opens at the Orpheum today
Bee Palmer is often described as the
girl who won success with her Shout
ders." She undoubtedly has the most
expressive shoulders the stage has ever
known, but she doesn't rely entirely
upon her shoulders for her success, as
she is one of the cleverest artists yet
to come out of the West and win re-
ncwn in the East. She is one of the
most graceful dancers on the stage. In
her offering, "Oh, Bee" she is sup
ported by Dick Himber, AL Seigal and
her own jazz band.
Joe Laurie, who describes himself as
''The Pint Size Comedian" and calls
HIS vehicle "Whaticare," Is a mono
loguist. He outcomics most comics.
George Kelly, the author-actor, Is
appearing in one of his own sketches,
"The F1attering Word" which argues
that at some time everybody has been
stage struck.
Dave Harris is almost an entire or
chestra by himself. He plays and sings
IN time that suits himself and appar-
emily suits most people. Kenney and
Hollis are the original college boys, and
their new offering is THE Two Doc
tors" The Oscar Mirano trio offer a
perch and ring thriller. Nadjie, the
physical culture girl. will be seen in
new and original poses.

Walker Whiteside has been away

POOLROOM LAWS
SOUGHT BY EDGAR
To REDUCE CRIME
Commissioner Believes That
Heavy License Would Help.
Best Places Favor 1t, He
Says.

John B. Edgar, commissioner of
fire and police will probably ask
OF the next session of the legislature
passage of a bill increasing the tax
on poolrooms to $4,000 per year.
The proposed legislation will be in
line with an effort to drive the pool
room, as a dive, out of Memphis.
There is no desire to interfere with
the legitimate operation of pool
70 ms and it is understood that OPP
orators of the high-class poolrooms,
where the sole object of the estab-
lishment is TO furnish a place of rec
reation for pool players, are backing
Mr.. Edgar in his demand for a
high tax.
At present poolroom operators pay
a tax of $25 per table to the city
Under this tax numbers of small
rooms have been opened. According
TO notice officials, many of these es
Establishments serve as headquarters
for bootleggers and other law viola
tors. II is next to impossible to
police them. Minors are allowed and
betting on balls is countenanced in
many of them. Police have made
raids which netted paraphernalia
from which the dust apparently had
not been brushed in months. Even
tables were all covered. yet the es-
adjustment was in full blast.
1t is believed that high tax will
eliminate many of these smaller
poolrooms; at least enough to make
1t easy to police the remainder. The
department believes that legitimate
poolrooms are good things: that the
game of pool is scientific pursuit
from which good results may be OBJ
At al g..
be no effort to interfere with this
calss of room. That operators of
this class of poolroom wish to see
their business divorced from any
suggestion of lawlessness is proved
by the intention of the owners to
back the commissioner in his demand
for the law.

THE FERocIoUs JACK RABBIT

Jim Maston was truthful man.
And one that never lied.
Why, once he taught Sunday school,
Which was bis hope and pride.
And SO whene'er he told tale,
That seemed a leetle strong,
Our faith in him would never fail
For he could do no wrong
Tie rabbit is a timid beast.
That fees the face OF man,
But once he eats the loco weed,
Then shun him all who can.
One day, said Jim. they chased a jaak,
A dozen miles or more
His pace was just about to slack,
When he let out a roar
He'd fallen on some loco weed,
He chawed 1t right an left,
Then turned an faced the foremost steed,
His eyes like one bereft.
He chased the men at least ten miles,
Then bucked an angry bull.
They fought five hours mid monstrous piles
OF flying hair an WOOL
At last the bull laid down an died:
Fell fiat upon his back.
The rabbit then went for a train,
An knocked 1t off the track
know this sounds leete strong,
1t cannot be denied
But Jim once taught Sunday class,
Which was his hope an pride
