POLISH VETERANS ARE BACK
Given Great Welcome on Arrival IN
Milwaukee After Three Years o!
Fighting in France and on the
Russian Front.

Milwaukee, April 27.-SiXty-one
tired and dusty veterans Of the Polish
legion arrived in Milwaukee, to rejoin
the loved ones they left three years
ago when they went to fight for Po-
lands freedom. For three years the
legiOnnaireS have worn the horizon
blue Of the French army, first in train
ing at Camp Niagara, then on the bat
tlefields of France, and finally on the
snOWSWept reaches of Russia. The well
come that had been planned for days
was none the less because of their be-
lated arrival. They were met at the
station by a reception committee OF
Polish citizens and escorted to the
South side armory, where breakfast
was served. In addresses, Rev. M. j.
DomachoWski and Controller Louis NJ.
Kotecko welcomed the veterans back
home. Each man was presented with
q suit Of clothes and $50 in cash. I'VE
are doubly proud of you, for you went
as free men to fight for a free cOun-
try" said Rev. DOmachOWski. "YOu
went for love of country, for love OF
America and for love of freedom. A
nation having such sons may fall, but
it will always rise again" Many JOY
Gus reunions were staged at the South
side armory as families, arriving hur-
riedly in response to the news of the
mems arrival, greeted the long absent
ones "Whnrp'S nv mOtlor!' or
"Where's my folks?' was the question
every one Of the veterans asked as
they piled off the train. Enthusiastic
receptions at every point on the way
from New York had delayed their ar
rival, the men said. The legiOnnaires,
who have been fighting the bOlshevlk1
on the Russian front since the arms
tice was concluded, were unanimous
in condemnation of sOvietism. Any
admirer of the present Russian Sys-
TEN would be quickly cured by few
months sojourn in that country, they
declared. "Poland is almost destitute
as a result of being swept by five years
of warfare" said Sergeant Joseph An
drusZkeWcZ. "Often we loaned our
horses to farmers to enable them to
plow their land" The Polish people
are deeply grateful for the help Ameri-
ca is giving them, it was asserted.
Several other detachmentS of return
ing legiOnnaireS are expected to reach
Milwaukee in the near future.

THE time has passed when the

Productions are no longer thrown to-

dollars before the curtain rises.
This works both good and evil In
the theater 1t narrows down the num-
Der of productions that can be made

- Princess Virtue, a Musical 81
Comedy, Makes Debut at R0E S

York last season in "Aphrodite," con-
GLIDING with a chorus of real singers
and dancers.
One of the greatest treats for the
onlooker in princess Virtue" is the
amazing display Of ninety-two extra
ordinary gowns. freshly imported
from Paris by the Fifth avenue cos
tuner, Hickson, of New York. These
creations, it is safe to predict. will
arouse profound interest and enjoy
ment to the female portion Of the
audience and it is the first time on
record that this world-renowned firm
has completely equipped a musical
comedy production.
The first stepping stone to histri-
onic greatness in the theatrical pro-
fession is the position of call boy,
and it is threatened with ruin II
new invention, just completed by Har-
rison Brockbank, of Princess Vir-
tue" proves to be as useful as it
promises.
The call boy is an institution and
some of the best known of our old
players have stepped upon the stage
after a training at that post. His
duties are not arduous, his task be-
ing principally to travel from dres-
sing-room to dressing-room announc-
ing the rising Of the curtain on each
act
But Harrison Brockbank has per-
fected an appliance, employing the
idea of the dictagraph, by which the
actor from his dressing-room IN any
theater may be at all times aware Of
the exact progress of the performance
on the stage Two receivers" have
been placed in the footlights trough,
one on each side of the stage, and
these are wired through to Mr.. Brock
banks room, where, on his dressing
table is a telephone-like arrangement
and ear trumpet; similar connections
are made through to the rooms OF
each member of the company, By
lifting the attachment to the ear at
any time, the actor clearly hears every
word of the dialogue on the stage
even to the faintest whisper, and
knows exactly how near is his or her
entrance"
Already the invention has saved
the members OF many companies, to
whom IL was sent on trial, many UNI
necessary steps, and II Is not at all
unlikely that the appliance Will soon
be in general use in all theaters.
