Making Movies" was demonstrated
TO an interested audience at the Garrick
Theatre last night Motion pictures were
actually made by Joseph Maddern and
Tom Ward, who not only filmed the au-
dience itself. but made other pictures on
the stage with the aid of local volunteers,
some of whom may find this the opening
wedge to become movie stars. Making
Movies" is one Of the features of the bill
and it will be repeated at each perform
ance, the results being shown at subse-
uuent performances. A delightful vocal
program was given by Lady Tsen Mel, a
talented Chinese singer, who has been a
resident of America for the past IL years,
having been educated In this country.
Some very clever juggling was done by
Caplane and Wells and keit and Dutton
entertained with comedy Gene Mason and
Fay Cole cracked Jokes and danced an
interesting musical comedy sketch en-
titled "Just for Kiss" Misses Edna
Pierce and Hazel Golf, talented musicians,
with xylophone, corDet and piano, con-
tributed a goodly share to the gems on
the bill. Billie Hibbitt and Eddie Male,
southern comedians, we're very funny.
An interesting feature of the bill was the
performance of Klutings entertainers
trained dogs, cats and birds, which
did some remarkable stunts and worked
in perfect harmony.

PILLS. BOX STAFF
BOLSTERED A LOT
Addition Of CaIIia and Smiths
Great Work May Lift
Club in Standing

st. Louis, May 1S.-With Melvin
Galia purchased by the Browns and
George Smith pitching | to 0 victory
over the Cardinals, the Phillies' pitching
staff. which appeared to be sinking when
Lee Meadows was injured, now promises
to lift the Quakers out of the second
division. That streak of nine straight
defeats has been forgotten by Gavvy
Cravath and his Penn crew, and today
they are looking up-looking up in the
direction of the first division.
A pitcher was needed when the popu-
lar and energetic Meadows was put on
the disabled list. For time it was be-
lived that his baseball career had ended,
tip, cut his right eve, but Cravath an
nounced today that he expected Meadows
to rejoin the club in at least three weeks.
However. with the club losing nine
games.' the Phils apparently were
doomed to slide and slide and hit the
cellar. A pitcher had to be secured,
and Magnate Baker, taking Cravath s
advice, closed with Jimmy Burke and
the Browns for Gallia.
Gallia should prove a winner for the
Phillies. He is known in St., Louis
through his work with the Browns
and is regarded as spring pitcher, a
pitcher VINO Is a winner IN the spring
owing to a terrific curve, but not so
strong once the burning sun starts to
beat down around the pitching mound.
However. Cravath is not worrying about
any weaknesses Gallia may have. II
got in touch with several friends in the
American League, and when found out
that Gallia was on the market they told
me to get him and get him at any
price said Cravath today. "And
with this information told Mr.. Baker
not to let any one beat u.s. to the
pitcher"
The release Of Gallia from the
Browns staff was quite. shock to the
fans here. who regarded the Texan as
a great pitcher. II is known, though
that he did not fit in with Burk's sys-
tenn of play, and when he reported late
for the spring training trip he then was
marked for release.

Harl,ing Back
lME CAN still recall balmy day in
| w May when we were excessively
youthful-you might say, ridiculously
young.
1t was either 1894 or 1895. Probably
the former. The Augusta club of the
Southern League was taking the field.
Dressed in black uniforms and led by a
tall, husky looking delegate, this team
dashed to its various positions with q
rush.
The playing manager was none other
than George Stallings. who was just
emerging into managerial fame.
He won the pennant that season in |,
canter,, largely through hustlins all
along the road.
He was then bundle Of energy and
in that respect he hasn't changed in the
last twenty five years.
STALLINGS has won a lot Of pen
~ nants in various leagues since that
campaign of "a or '05.
And he has won most of them through
his ability to make his earnest athletes
arise upon their hind legs and hustle
all the way.
In the last decade or so he seems to
have adopted the Six Year Period. :
He broke the worlds miracle record
in 1914 by turning July tail ender into
worlds champions.
And now in 1920 he has suddenly
started making threatening gesture,
with ball club unanimously voted last
place early in April.
! And the freak turn is that Barnes
and Nehf, two of his best pitchers, who
were sold to the Giants, have done their
share in letting the Giants down with
crash.
But so it goes in the merry old pas
time. Adjusting the dope to the bo,
scores and the standing Of. the club.
is still replete with kinks and vcissi
tudes.
