The "Buddies"

Around whom George V. Hobart has
woven his delightful musical comedy
which the Selwyns will offer this city an
opportunity to see Thursday evening,
Nov. II, only, at the Colonial, wiggled
their way into the hearts of New York
lor twelve consecutive months in the
oeiwyn Theatre as few folks in the world
OF make believe have ever done. They
are such dear human group of young
american manhood, as one finds billeted
ait the armistice in a peasant home in
france that no one is surprised that the
sweet maid of France falls in love with
one OF their number, nor that another is
hhe' and big, and loyal enough to all but
sacrifice his personal happiness to protect
MS youthful hostess from the machina-
.lons OF a regular dyed in the-wool viii
IAN. Vera Halare as the peasant lass
VINO gives such delightful rendition of
many OF the lifting songs which B. c.
illiiiam has woven into the fabric of
=, nuddies," William Wayne as the Prince
hihoness who protects her from the viii
IAN, and Lambert Terry as "Babe" the
pashiul hero, contribute greatly to the
popularity of this wholesome entertain
ment which was easily the biggest hit of
tne New York season last year. "Bud-
dies" played the Park Square Theatre,

''My Soldier Girl"
A Show of Novelties.

The seasons greatest musical comedy
success, "My Soldier Girl" novel play
coming to the Colonial Theatre, Satur-
day, matinee and night, Nov. 20, presents
more than a score of feature novelties, of
which the grand illumination of New
York City is a revelation in electrical
effects. "Flirtation Walk" an illumi-
mated runway extending from the stage
out over the orchestra seats and EXTEND
ing more than half way to the rear wall
of the theater is probably the most popu-
lar. During the two acts the big ''pony"
ballet offers four tuneful and entertaining
numbers on the "walk" and each receive
their share of encores. Gorgeous cos
tunes are a feature on the runboard worn
by bewitching beauties who are good to
look upon. A night at a lawn fete at
Colonel Stones home, Miami, Florida,
features many new aid novel dances,
drills and ensembles and the pretty illu-
mination forms beautiful picture for a
brilliant affair. Novel drills and dance
ensembles participated in by bewitching
pony ballet in the smartest of co tunes
makes "My Soldier Girl" SHOW worth
while

Public Health Nurse

Co operative methods are daily gaining
in favor. because they are far less ex-
pensive and far less exacting individually
than the old method of every man for
himself. By CO. operating in the hiring
of public health nurse it is made possible
for any person in Belfast needing trained
care in time of illness to secure such SER
vice at the nominal charge of fifty cents
a visit, or less if unable to pay the full
amount. Will you help your town make
this preparation against the illness which
is sure to come to many of us, and which
may come to you. Join the Red Cross
and so help some. Add your personal
subscription, if possible, and so help
more. We should all have a part, even
tboug small, in what means so much to
all of us.
Our Red Cross chapter expended s., 800
last year in carrying on the work of
public health nurse. AS much more will
be needed this year, if the work is to be
G. ntinued. Not to do so would be step
backward. There are in addition to the
regular Sl.O0 memberships of which the
local chapters retain half, So. 90 and $40 90
memberships of which the chapters re-
tain $500 and $500 respectively. Help
to make this roll call the largest in our
history.
