1.-THE STORM- COMES TO
 JEFFERSON MONDAY
BY EsTEIAE HBrHEA HALs

George Broadhurst, besides being the producer of "The Storm" new play by Langdon Mccormick, coming to the Jefferson theatre for three nights, starting Monday, October 31, with matinee Wednesday, had. be- fore he entered the producing end of the business, written some of the gr eatest successes of the past decade, best known among which is Bought and Paid For which ran for over a year in New York. and besides containing a powerful story, gave to the stage that wonderful character of Jimmy, whose homely humor is well remembered by theatregoers. The Man of the Hour,' The Law of the Land" To-day" another equal ly popular melodrama, etc. He be- gan writing plays when he was 16 years of age, and ever since that time he has had signal success in winning the interest of .theatregoers in all parts of the United States, Great Britain, Canada and even in far off China, Australia and Japan, where his big successes have been trans lated in the language of the country.
 He Is man of simple, refined taste, exceptionally clever reconteur, a keen student has a penetrating grasp of the human emotions under stress of various circumstances, and conditions, and writer whose keen wit and humor had made his plays stand out cameo-like among the null titude of plays produced in the last 20 years

ELSIE FERGUSON AT STRAND NOW IN "FOOTLIGHTSD

To say that Elsie Fergusons new est picture, "Footlights," now show ing at the Strand, is a success would hardly be expressing the excellence of this splendid Strand offering. The picture Is really out of the ordi- nary. and based on one of the strang- est dramatic situations conceivable. This situation is that of a girl who, wis:sing above all else to succeed on the stage, lends herself to a plan to forget her own personality and don another. that of a temperamental Russian with vivid past.
 Elsie Ferguson never did anything better than this role of the strug gling woman of the stage. Right at the first she completely wins the sympathy of her audience, later she wins their actual fear for her fu- ture, and then their ardent en- thusiasm at the splendid way in which she enacts a difficult role. Naturally in this type of picture there are the beautiful gowns and settings. and there is also very fine productive effort.

 It is the theme of the big outdoors the great Maine. woods, the roaring cataracts. The intertwining of these great emotional, though inanimate. actors with human beings strong in courage. or weak in eowardice, rre- sents story tense and gripping in its majesty.
 The action of the story revolves about the efforts, by fair means or foul, of powerful corporation to TO bold "X. K.," "The Rider of King Log" of his river rights.

LLNKUUT BREACHES. FUNERAL GRAFTON OF TIE OLD GUARD
Old Guard May Propose, But Senate DispoSes, Each Senator Doing His Own
 Thinking Now
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age Herald,
 500 Davidson Building,

Washington, October 27-(Speciai. ) Although Senator Lenroot of Wis consin agrees with conclusions here ! tofore reached by this bureau that the old guard" surrenders but never dies, he has seen proper to preach the "old guards" funeral oratiou in ' the Senate
 This delivery of Lenroot is regard ed as significant of the fact that the impotency of the old guard" is rec ognlzed and admitted by republicans. The so-called reactionary element of the republican party in the Senate, that which is known as the admin istration forces, has repeatedly gone under in melancholy defeat before a coalition of progressive republicans and democrats.
 Said MT Lenroot: "In years past, Mir. President. this old guard bloc absolutely controlled this side of the aisle, and 1t controlled the body at the other end of the capitol. It gave its orders. Its orders were obeyed. As to senators who did not belong to that inner circle, 1t was a case of
 -'Theirs not to reason why,
 Theirs but to do or die.'
 Cost Party It's Power.
 And they usually did. It was that Sy otNA' hISH lOOh lHe republican party out of power for eight wears. And if that system had been con tinued, it would drive the republican n party out of power again. But that system does not longer prevail The senator from New Hampshire (Mr. Moses) may grieve that it does not. He may be disappointed because. a slittle group that would like to con trol legislation cannot longer give orders and have those orders obeyed. Mir. President, the old guard may propose, but the Senate disposes Sen ators on this side of the aisle, as 1t is their duty to do, are doing their own thinking and following their own convictions. While members of the old guard bloc, senior to the senator from New Hampshire, recog- nize the situation and no longer fol . lowing the saying of the old guard. : from which the name comes, that they die, but never surrender, they have properly taken the ground that | it is their duty to compromise diff better to surrender than fight. But the senator from New Hamp- shire grieves and would rather fight. admire his courage, but am afraid that as time goes on he will encoun- ter many other disappointments."
 Blessing to Democrats.
 The independence of the so-called progressive wing of the republican 1 party is regarded by the old guard as proof positive that a majority too large is unwieldy and dangerous. The \ division is a blessing to democrats. They control legislation simply by casting their votes either with the | progressive or reactionary wing
 | he republican machine in the Sen late, whatever the prime cause might be. is ineffective. The extraordinary session was called last March for the specific purpose of~enacting a tax and a tariff bill. The tax bill, entirely shot to pieces, IS pending before the senate. The tariff bill, ft not dead, is surely chloroformed.

FAMOUS KEELING STORY IS PRESENT'ED AT ALCAZAR.

The third of Rudyard Kipling' S stories to come to the screen. With out Benefit of Clergy" now at the Alcazar. is a most vivid and colorful character sketch of life in India, "Naulahl1a." and "The Light that Failed having been done some years ago. The story concerns young Engiishmani who takes unto himself. without benefit of clergy, a Hindu maiden. with whom he lives over a period of some years. A son is born. but dies at the age of 6 or so years. The girl also succumbs to cholera. The man lives to mourn his double loss.
 Into the tale were woven a multi tude of little details concerning In- dia, it's people. customs, superstitions and traditions It was told as only Kipling can describe India, with plot as it is ordinarily accepted for dra- matic purposes, almost nil.
 The finished picture shows the wis dom of the plan. Without Benefit of Clergy in pictures is "Witho1t Benefit of Clergy" as it was written, with the exception of a Hindu mar riage ceremony added in the film version.

'NIGHTIE NIGHT AT
 JEFFERSON PROVES
 DELIGHTFUL COMEDY

The clever farce, "Nightie Night" lhas returned to the Jefferson theatre and was presented last night by an Exceptionally good company, headed by Harry Stubbs. who has played Billy Moffat in Birmingham before. | The complications which result from Billy's chance meeting with an old flame in a Pullman car en route lfrom Washington to New York come thick and fast when Trixie Lorraine unsuspectingly leases his apartment from his .brother-in-law, Philip Bur ton, while Billy and his wife. Mollie. are trying to get In theatre on tick lets that are good the following night lTrixie decides to take possession at once and installs herself in a bed room. Billy and Mollie return. The lsituation Is made worse by the pres |ence of Jimmy Blythe, whose wife lran away from him after quarrel len their wedding day and Is none |other than Trixie. but is known to him by her real and not her stage lname.
 The comedy is brisk, the dialogue witty and the misunderstanding many and varied. Billy proves him lEelf a versatile liar, but little good that does him. The unhappy Trixie lis discovered In neglige by her. hus- band, and Billy who is really quite Innocent of evil doing. is in worse bredicament than ever, but, as in all Evell regulated farces, after things have been worked into an apparently hopeless snarl, they are happily lstraightened out and the uneven course Of true love Is made smooth.

FIVE ACTS ON BILL
 AT LYRIC THEATRE

AS many regular vaudeville patrons will agree, the chief fascination of the vaudeville show is that what the spectator will see is more or less a gamble. So there is always the an ticipation that the next act will be better, or just as good. ,or perhaps soon over and so on. Audiences at the Lyric this last half have rather gcod luck. drawing two very fine act 5 and the others pretty well up to standard.
 Perhaps the most apprRciated act of this bill is the Harmony Land act This, is harmonious singing act done by two excellent singers in western makeup with pretty western background. These two have made very fortunate selections In their song numbers from stand point of popularity, and their song about the straight path is especially taetful An ideal act highly ap- plauded.
 | For those who like travesty on Shakespeare's "Julins Caesar" there lis a treat in store in the act of the Anderson and Young players. This act presents Shakespeare well stirred up with enough local topics and cur rent issues and customs to make the really sublime work of the great dran2atist fall into the ridfculous. Caesar is especially comical and portrayed as very loud mouthed in- dividual with an exceedingly nasty disposition. Act shows fine sense of fun and received with mirth.
 Lorraine Evon, dainty violinist, presents charming act of violin playing accompanied by the delicious notes of canary who keeps well in tune with the harmony. A deli cately pleasing offering.
 Other acts are Hank Brown and partner in dron act of fun and
