ROSA PONSELLE IN 'ALL-STAR CONCERT Noted Dramatic Soprano Sang "Old Old Folks at Home" and Brings
 S10,0O0

Rosa Ponselle, the sensational dra- matte soprano of the Metropolitan opera house who is to be heard in Bir- mingham May 12 at the Jefferson in the "Ail-star Concert,' won the heart of all Norfolk. the busy little Virginia seaport. before she had sung note during their 1918 music festival.
 It was at the time of the victory liberty loan drive and the prima donna arrived in town couple of days be- fore she was scheduled to sing a the festival. She attended one of the con certs as q spectator but the manage ment of the festival organization asked her to help them sell some liberty bonds
 Being very patriotic Miss Ponselle agreed to do so and after the inter- mission mounted the platform and of fered some bonds.
 Mme. Aida was also selling bonds and naturally there was a friendly rivalry between the two Metropolitan artists Miss Ponselle sold more than anyone and when she made her appearance at the festival the next night she was en- thustieally greeted and at the close of the concert q Norfolk banker offered " wy 2 TiNsVnN nci4u iA s7iiN "ohA'- oiH5 "Old Folks at Home" Needless to say Miss Ponselle was delighted to comply and brought in the subscription.
 During the past season RosaNPonseIIe has appeared during her Metropolitan opera season with both the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and the sym phony Soeietyof New York. Her duties at the Metropolitan. where she has sung at least twice every week have prevented her accepting any of the of- fers from out of town orchestras, many of which were received by her manas- CTS
 Her eoncert appearances are limited to tho few weeks before the season of the opera company opened and the month of May after it's close Bir- mingham is one of the few cities 5a- vored with concert by this celebrated singer

Baits to Catch U-Boats

Admiral Sims. in the Worlds Work 1, Captain Campbell and his associates of the British mystery ship Dunraven. paid as much attention to details in their ships as in their personal ap- pearance- The ships wash did not expose the. flannels that are affected by naval men, but the dungarees that are popular with merchant sailors. Sometimes a side of beef would be hung out in plain view: this not only kept up the fiction that the ship was an innocent tramp. but il served as 3 tempting bait 10 the not-too- well-fed crew of the submarine. Particularly tempting cargoes were occasionally put on deck. One of the ships carried sev- eral papier- -mache freight cars of the small European type. covered with legends which indicated that they were loaded with ammunition apd bound for Mesopotamia. It is easy to sm-
 agine how eagerly the Hun would wish to sink that cargo.

Nadina, the landlady, whispers to him that if he will use the loaded dice she gives him. he never can lose. At first, he indignantly refuses but stung to desperation by his lack of funds, he takes the dice and the following epi- sode occurs:
 Put, a wealthy young member of the aristocracy, casts the dice for one thousand shekels. He throws seven. Jether with sweep of his hand re- moved the good dice. substitutes the false ones with which he throws twelve. The bet is double dand the dice are again cast but Jether is again the winner. With 4000 shekels as the stakes, Jether is about to throw for the third time, when Marbel one of

 We had just sat through forty min utes of what was, in our humble opin- ion, the most captivating performance we had witnessed in. many moon, and WE longed to offer our homage at the shrine of our idol. But Louise Orth is an icono- clast, at least potential one, for we re- fuse to have our idol shattered. She told us that her portrayal of Tisha, the mighty lady of Babylon, was conceived not in her brain at all, but in that of David Belasco.
 T was simply doing what Mir. Belasco told me to do-anyone can do that can she not? Al right then" we retorted, David Belasco had nothing to do with The Eternal Sin, did he, and you are quite as wonderful in an entirely differ ent day, Lucretia Borgia."
 Perhaps you are right, but the stage and the screen are analogous; in fact, they are ais different as that pointing to our new white fox scarf and that

The Wanderer" Viuid In Porfraying Human Weakness
 ---Real Jerusalem Depicted

Three thousand years ago men gambled with loaded dice in the city of Jerusalem, just as today men use the same kind of gambling device to fleece strangers.
 In the second act of "The Wan derer," the famous Biblical spectacle which comes to the Jefferson theatre Monday and Tuesday, with a matinee Tuesday there is 8 gambling scene which is highly illustrative. for it shows that there is nothing new in the use of loaded dice.
 In this scene, Jethery the shepherd boy of Hebron, who has gone to Jeru- salem to squander e fortune, gambles with loaded dice in house which is
