SHIPPING GAINS
CALLED TO MIND
Arrival of Foreign BattIeships Sus-
gests Comparison of Merchant
Losses.

Losses.
The arrival in New York harbor of
a German dreadnaugh, cruiser and
torpedo boat destroyers constituting
Americas share of the kaiser's navy
directs attention to the shipping gains
and losses of the United States in the
world war.
Statistics in a study of Americas
Merchant Marine" by the Bankers
Trust Company of New York, indi-
cate that the losses totaled 343,090
gross tons of merchant shipping from
August, 1914, until the armistice. Com
pared ito the sea going tonnage of
over 1900, 900 tons represented by the
1900 vessels now comprising the
American merchant marine. the loss
of $4,000 tons through enemy attack
no longer seems large.
But this lost tonnage equaled the to-
tai output of American shipyards in
1914. 1t exceeded the tonnage built in
the United States in either 1915 or
1916. However, in 1917, responding to
world demand, American shipbuilding
struck it's stride. Despite the sinking
of 1900 tons that year and the loss
of $4,000 tons in other ways, the in
creased output more than made good
these reductions American ship pro-
duction in 1917 totaled 1,034,296 tons.
In one year alone, ending June 80,
1918, American ships sunk by the
enemy, totaIed 10000 tons. On the
other hand, according to figures in the
Bankers Trust Company's study, the
American merchant marine was a
gamer through the seizure of 80 enemy
ships of total of 591,747 gross tons.
These were vessels in American ports
when the United States entered the
war.

HARRIET AND THE PIPER" AT THE TRIANON

Harriet and the Piper" at the Trianon is remarkable presentation of the life and ideas of Greenwich Fli- lage that wart on the surface of New York City. The experiences of a girl who accepts their strange so-ealled marriage ceremonoy and the worthless marriage ring herewith is well told. The part of Harriet, the girl is given a very sympathetic performance by the beautiful Anita Stewart.
 Some of the strength of the play is lost by the girl discovering rather too soon the character of the relation which she has assumed. Having ac- cepted the brief promise through bore dom, it would have been better for the story to have worked itself out more on that line to logical conclusion, Instead things really go off on an other line which, even if more inter esting, is not al reasonable considering that 'life's piper is not quite so easily appeased in real life as he seem to be in Harriet and the Piper"
 But you will find it an agreeably interesting play, and most probably the toll that the piper-fate exacts for Harriet's mistake does go to make a very sufficient drama anyway.

lever, no special uniformity about this, the freight charge being considered the same as any other element entering into the price total.
 The Southern Lumberman says:
 The lumber market continues to be characterized by light buying and a general display of hesitancy on the part of lumber buyers to place orders, except for imperative imm ediate needs, until they are satisfied that there are no further recessions in buying. Those lumbermen who have analysed the sit uation do not expect much improve ment in the volume of business until after election.
 ''The most conspicuous topic of dis cussion in the marketing of lum per today is the matter of freight in creases. Sellers want the buyers to stand the increased freight rates and absorb such increases. As it is dis tinctly a buyers market, the shippers are having some difficulty in main- taining their position; and about the best that is being done along this line is compromise by which the increase is equally divided.
 Not much change is to be observed prices or demand. Prices are holding their own firmly and there is still a distinct scarcity of orders. The retail demand is distinctly light, particular ly in the cities. Such orders as are

O'GORMAN GIRLS ARE
 FEATI1RE AT THE LYRIC

After a rather lame beginning, the Lyric bill for the weekend picks up somewhat and ends with a better show than at first evidenced. Still the bill is not up to the Lyric standard.
 AS an added attraction Pathe News pictures of the recent bomb explosion on Wall street, New York. are shown. The pictures were taken directly after the explosion and are of unusual interest.
 Phyllis Gilmore and company in the fourth number really opens the show. They have an intensely interesting lit- tie skit called "Blackmail that is crowded with surprise, excitement and good comedy. They received a good hand from the audience.
 Then came the O'Gorman Girls, who, with "Blackmail," were the best part of the entertainment The OGorman Girls sang, played musical instruments and danced extremely well. Their cos tunes are very bright and effective. They made several bows before leaving room for the Oklahoma Four, who treated the spectators to genuine rough house with typical western noisi- ness Their act was saved at the last with some really fine feature dancing.
 Sidney Byron and Betty Price came on in an act billed a musical comedy satire, entitled "A Model Union." It's a good thing they put the comedy in the bill ,, title, as it certainly was conspicuously absent from the act. Byron is good singer, though, and sang some songs which were appreciated
 The audience felt inclined to agree with Matt Wilson and Gene Kelly in the sen timent that caused them to call their number "A Fool There Is." Their act was flat, in spite of the fact that they showed some ability.
 Alice Joyce in Dollars and the Woman" and Fox News Weekly are tho screen attractions.

BERNICE BARLOW
 STAR AT LOEW'S

Another excellent bill of five acts of big-time vaudeville and wonderful fea- ture picture is the offering for the last half of the week at Loew's Bijou.
 The premier engagement of Miss Ber- nice Barlow in vaudeville in a fantasia of harmonized melodies was easily the leading attraction. During the course of her act she sang many different songs, but the ones that won her the most en- cores were those old southern melodies that have stood their own with all the new and popular songs of the present day. She is assisted by two very clever young musicians, who add a great deal to the merit of the act.
 Eddie Carr and company in a one-act comedy, ran the headliners a close race for first honors. MT. Carr kept the au- dience in an uproar every minute he was on the stage and his ability as first rate laugh provoker is unquestioned.
 Berry and Kickerson seemed to be able to play most any kind of musical in- strument, and while they were not play ing the act was kept going by the clever and amusing stunts of a blackface CO., medan.

 Clothes" which is an adaptation by Arthur Zellner of the stage drama by Avery Hopwood and Charming Pol lock, is one of the most brilliant pro- auctions of many seasons in the show ing of beautiful gowns with beautiful girls inside of them.
 Olive Tell, who plays Olivia Sher wood the role created on the stage by Grace George, has the most expensive wardrobe of her career for the produc ton, which was made under the per sonal supervision of Maxwell Karger, Metros director general.

LYTEL IN FORCEFUL ROLE AT RIALTO

Bert Lytel stands out among moving picture actors as having the unusual combination of being exceedingly handsome and at the same time an ex- cellent self-forgetting actor.
 In "The Price of Redemption at the Rialto this week, Lytel is giving one of the best performances in which he has ever been seen. Though he has been in a few dramas. his appearances in comedy have been numerous enough to identify him with 1t, and it is a surprise to see this serious and drama tic portrayal in The Price of Redemp- tion," which is very emotional and serious drama.
 The most striking thing about Lytel's performance Is his deep quiet. There is a certain great strength in the all most worthless acting of this silent drama. Throughout this Rialto picture is splendid, exciting and active drama almost melodramatic in action. It Is well worth while for lovers of the romantic.
