MANY choristers Sick.
Sam Howe's burlesquers. billed as
1.-THE Butterflies OF Broadway" fitted
about with their customary ardor
Thursday night at the Odeon, and It
was not apparent to the audience that
the show was being given under seri-
Gus difficulties. That the chorus was
short few girls might have been all
| that the audience noticed. While play
| ing In Chicago two weeks ago the show
lost several chorus girls by sickness.
and some Of the girls were left there
when the show went to st. Paul. More
were taken sick at st. Paul and did not
accompany the show to Des Moines the
| first OF this week. Thirteen members
Of the company have been Ill with
severe colds and grip and still an
| other chorus girl was on the verge of
a collapse Thursday night. Under the
| circumstances the show was remark
| ably well presented. The members Of
| the company. reduced to small num-
bers. seemed to work the harder to
please and succeeded IN entertaining
the large audience. which included
| more than 100 bottlers here for the
state convention.
| The Howe show is prettily costumed
and very well staged. Harry Cooper,
one OF the leading lights in burlesque
made big hit with his peculiar style
Of comedy, which is unlike anything
else in burlesque. He was ably as
sisted by Sam Howard. in Jewish
character. Helen Tarr, stately
blonde, sang in good voice. Hattie
Beall and Florence Mascot in SOU
brette roles, were quite good.

their home? What Every Woman

at the Strand, asks and answers these
questions on the screen. and the RS
suits are not too favorable for the man.
Amy Fortesque, the heroine played
by the, star, has been taught by her
old grandfather to think Of life only as

acquaintance. But onoe he possesses
her, his mood changes, He Is like a

cad. And Amy becomes the saddest
specaale in the world---a disillusioned

Because former loyer whose seri-
BUSINESS had made him unweloome to
the gay Miss Fortesque, rebukes her
husband, unpleasantness arises be-
tween them, which brings about the
climax-a shooting affair in which the
husband wounds her champion and
tho wife in turn shoots the husband
thru the heart. 1t Is cleared up sat

Miss Bennett IS splendid little ao-

restraint and the pleasing knack of
looking wistful and appealing and con-
yincing before the camera, but other
pictures in which she has appeared
seem to suit her abilities much better
than this one. An excellent cast is
provided and includes Milton Stills, as

MILLS IN LAWRENCE MYTH SAYS THAT

Massachusetts Industries Crippled
 in Many Places

Boston, March 29.-Swollen rivers caused by the thaw in the northern hill districts continued to menace bridges and river front properties in many cities and towns in New England today. Points along the Merrimac and Connecticut rivers and their tributaries reported that the water had reached the highest mark in many years.
 several mills at Lawrence were forced to close because of flooded basements and others were threat ened by the steady rise of the Mer- rimac river.
 The Concord and Merrimac rivers rose more than d foot in the Lowell district in 24 hours and the officials were prepared today to open the flood gates which have been closed there since the record freshet of 1852. Easements in homes and fac tories in the district were flooded last night. At Haverhil1 the Merrimac reached it's highest point since 1897. The fender pier of the Boston and Maine bridge, which has been re- garded as a danger point, was sub merged under nine inches of water Cellars along the river front were flooded, but serious property damage was dEO1ueQ DN store clGrkS ana fac- tory employees who removed most of the stock.
 Flood warnings were issued at va rious places along the Connecticut river. Several towns in Vermont were threatened by the unusually heavy ice flow.
 A steel bridge 200 feet long which spanned the river between Brattle- borO and an island was swept away yesterday, carrying one of the resi- dents of the island with it.
 Railroad bridge patrols along the Connecticut reported a heavy ice pressure against the abutme ents. Trol- ley service between Holyoke and Northampton was suspended be- cause of the overflow at several points. Many farms in the lowlands were partly covered by water but most of the stock had been removed from danger.
 The conditions appeared graver be- cause of the weather forecast which predicted rain tonight and tomorrow.

Insists He Never Regarded Them
 In Any Other Way

Rome, March 2S.-Speak king in the chamber of deputies today, Pre- mier Nitti declared he had never re- garded the Jugo- -Slavs as enemies but had, on the contrary, regarded them as friends. He expressed the hope they would soon partake of Italian economic and cultural advantages and deplored what he described as dan gerous press campaign which is cal culated to foster distrust among the Jugo-Slavs.''
 ''While anxious to bring about a friendly understanding with the Jugo- Slavs,' he declared, there is another solution-to demand the enforcemen { of the Pact of London. France and Great Britain have stated if Italy de- sired the application of the pact they would not refuse, they hold them . selves bound by it. If Italy is com- pelled to demand the carrying out of the convention it will be necessary to ask it's complete enforcement without including Fiume."
 Signor Nitti condemned that section of the press demanding the pact and also Plume and said he had told the supreme allied council in London that if Italy required the enforcement of the treaty she would cOncede aut on- omy to Dalma tia. He added this ha q created a good impression.
 If no other agreement can be reached" he continued, ''a third Solu- tion of the Adriatic question may be to accept, with suitable notifications proposals formulated by Great Britain and France. This solution is desired still less by Jugo-Slavia than by Italy, but, nevertheless. it is necessary to keep it in mind while continuing our efforts to reach an adjustment by an amicable understanding with the Jugo- -Slavs."
 The premier was applauded by the whole chamber. with the exception of the socialists. and asked for a "clear and unm stakable vote of confidence. '
 With his address the debate was adjourned

KID LEWIS IN QUEST
 OF ANOTHER TITLE
Former WcItcrwci9ht Champion of World Begins Campaign in Eng
 land to Achieve Feat.

New York, March 29.--kid Lewis, former welter champion of the world, who has been knocking English wei ters about with great regularity for some months past. now aims at the middleweiSht championship of Eng land Lewis recently knocked out an English middleweight named Johnny Bee in four rounds and followed that by stopping Gus Platts the Sheffield Blade, in eighteen rounds. Lewis desire for a match for the middle
 weight belt is opposed by the author ities on the ground that he is only in England again on a temporary visit and that he intends, and al- ways has intended, to return to the States. where he has made his home, with his own and his wife's family. this weighing very heavily against Lewis chance of winning another belt and taking it straightway out of the country. The middleweight sit uation is complicated, by the fact that Pat OKeefe, holder of the Lons- dale belt, who retired a few years ago, now announces he still is the cha amp pion and will defend the honors against any one. On top of the O'Keefe edict comes the announce ment that Jim Sullivan, the former middleweight belt holder, and Tom Gunner are to meet at the Natlon- al Sporting club in a contest an nounced as being for the middle weight ampionship and belt. Thus it can be seen that the middleweight situation in England is in muddled situation, with the chances Of the winner of the Sullivan Gunner con- test being declared title holder.
