WITHOUT STREET ADDRESS
YOUR MAIL is DELAYED
AT OFFICE OF DELIVERY

The Dead Letter Office has been In
existence ever since Ben Franklin
started our postal service. Even then
people addressed mail to Mr.. Ezekiel
Smithers, Atlantic Coast" and ex-
pected Ben to know just where Zeke
lived
Perhaps they had Zeke's address In
letters up in the garnet, maybe chest
full Of 'em, but then it was easier to
let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are
addressing letters to John Smith, New
York, N. Y, or Chicago, ILL.,, thinking
Uncle Sam can locate him, which Is
just as incomplete as was Zeke's ad-
dress of yore. The Postoffice Depart
ment asks you to put the number and
street In the address. 1t helps you.

Preparations for the first postwar re-

be given on May IA.
Thirty-five thousand applications for

not yet received indications as to the

that German attendance will more taan

performances during these months.

village elders considerably to amplify

concerns the production of the play
as to solve the problem of accommodate

comforts and conyenienceS of travel

1t is a pity that Denman Thomp-
son is not alive to see the Para
mount picture version Of his class
ic. 1.-THE Old Homestead, now play
ing at the Spencer Square theatre.
1t is one of the best pictures from
every point of view that has been
here in a long time. The direction
by James Cruze is splendid. the
acting of the star cast is superla-
tive and the settings are perfect.
The old homestead set is one Of
the most beautiful and convincing
ever shown, while the storm scene
fairly thrills the spectator. Theo-
dore Roberts makes a wonderful
character of Uncle Josh and other
characters in the cast are equally
well portrayed. The Lyric trio is
one of the best vaudeville numbers
that has appeared at the Spencer
this season.

Moore's New Comedy Coming.
Delightful Farce,

Juliette Day. playing with the
original cast in "Bluebeard's Eighth
Wife," which opened a two-day
run at the Columbia last night,
presented woman in a new role,
that Of conqueror. Not conquer
or in the literal sense of the word,
for her weapons were not force of
arms, but wit and intuition, which
won for her the love of a man, aft
er seven other women had failed.
Arthur Byron, playing the success
full American business man, who
took what he wanted when he
wanted it, proved to be all that
press agents claimed. The farce,
written by Alfred Savoir, French
man, rippled with clever sarcasm,
with skillfully thrust bards against
divorce. and Of the egotism of the
mere man.
The play, presented in four acts,
concerns the marriage of a French
girl to an American millionaire.
She is his eighth wife. The mar
rage is put through as a business
proposition and she keeps it that
after the ceremony. The end OF
six months finds their married life
