NEW CRUSADE
PLEASES CROWD
Presbyterian Ladies Show Ability AZ
Actresses in Farce Comedy
at Grand
MOE DONATES USE OF THEATRE
Receipts Over 5000 and Will Go Into
Building Fund

Hurrah for "The New Crusade" 1t
was a grand success from every point
of view. The play was given twice
Saturday evening by an "all-star"
cast of Presbyterian ladies' which was
sufficient guarantee to the public that
an excellent entertainment would be
given. The Grand theatre was crowd
ed to its fullest capacity at both per-
formances.
Miss Emily Brown as Miss Morris,
head of the Intelligence Office, showed
much ability in dealing with the ser
want problem from both sides of the
problem.
Mrs. Cogswell- Brown gave Mrs
Dady an excellent opportunity to dis
play her superiority in handling do
mestic difficulties, the only creature
to which she fully surrendered being
a mouse. She was ably assisted by
Mrs. Gallon as Mrs. Potter Hewitt
and Mrs. Anderson as Mrs. Raymond.
Mrs. Bast charmingly took the part
of the young and inexperienced Mrs.
Archibald Tracey, who found exper-
fences much more plentiful than
maids.
Mrs. Guy and Stella Dell took the
part of Irish girls perfectly and kept
the audience in an uproar whenever
they appeared. Mrs. Hunter as
Swedish girl and Mrs. Bartling as a
colored maid, did excellent work while
Mrs. McCulley and Mrs. Grafton were
very realistic.
Mrs. Jenkins as Merry deserves
special mention for the talent she dis
played in the difficult role of the girl
of the slums, and the crowd on various
occasions showed its appreciation. In
fact, the enthusiasm of the audiences
throughout both performances provid-
ed the necessary stimulus to portray
the full ability Of each actress.
Between acts Miss Dorothy Brown
gave violin selection and song, ac-
companied on the piano by Mrs
Brown. Miss Dorothy never fails to
please and responded to the hearty
encore with Il song entitled, "She is
so Queer.". Miss Reva Smith gave a
delightful reading. The program was
made complete by the musical num-
bers rendered by Mr.. and Mrs. Bjorn-
stad on the piano and saxaphone.
The receipts of the evening were
over $221.OO.
The Presbyterian ladies' aid wish
to publicly thank Mr.. Moe, who so
kindly donated the Grand for the en-
tertainment, and Mr.. and Mrs. Jen-
kins, whose untiring efforts surmount-
ed every obstacle and helped make Of
the performance splendid success.

BRYAN MAY
RUN AGAIN
Democratic War Horse Champing al
the Bit as Campaign Draws
Near
NOT TO ATTEND LUNCH
Wilson'S Son-in-Law Seems to Hav
the Fever Himself

A political sensation was created
Monday when it was learned that w.
G. McAdoo, former secretary Of the
treasury, and son-in-law Of the pres
lAident, has declined the invitation Of
the democratic national committee to
attend the Jackson day dinner in the
capital Jan. 8.
| At this dinner most of the aspirants
for the democratic nomination for
president are to appear and deliver
speeches which will show where they
stand on national issues, utterances
which will be construed as bids for
support for the big job. It will be the
traditional opening of the democratic
campaign on the day the national
committee meets to fix the time and
place for holding the convention.
Mr.. McAdoo is the only one of the
potential candidates who has declined
the invitation, and democratic leaders
are bringing pressure to bear on him
to reconsider.
There is much feverish speculation
in democratic circles as to the signi-
fcance Of Mr.. McAdoo's refusal to
be one of the gathering. Some think
he dislikes participation in an affair
in which Bryan is likely to be the
overshadowing influence, and others
feel that the son-in-law thinks it
would be unseemly to join the ranks
of the candidates while there is any
possibility Of Wilson becoming a can
didate for third term.
Bryan, whose shadow is looming
larger and larger on the horizon of
democratic politics and who is shaping
his plans to capture the convention, if
not the nomination, will be there. He
will deliver an address in which he
will define the issues of the approach
ing campaign as he views them and
instruct all and sundry aspirants what
attitude they must assume on public
questions if they expect to get within
hailing distance of the nomination. It
is not doubted that the test Of avail
ability laid down by Mr.. Bryan will
be rigid, and it is just possible that no
one but himself will be found qualified

the nearby towns and to acquant
Pensacola people with thu territory

GREAT BATTLESHIP

Yokosuka, Japan, July 1.-the
Japanese battleship Mutsu, recently
launched here, is closely comparable
with the newest American battleship
the Maryland, launched at Newport
News in March. Both warships, how
ever, are considerable smaller and less
speedy than the great English battle
ship cruiser Hood. launched on the
Clyde in August, 1918. The Hood, on
the other hand, is armed with 15-inch
guns in her main battery, while the
Mutsu and Maryland will have an
equal number of 16-inch rifles.
The Hood continues to be the largest
warship afloat, a distinction she will
hold until the Massachusetts class of
dreadnought comes into he United
States navy service in 1921-22. =
A comparison of tonnage length,
