The sailor 2 hornpipe executed by Harry Bendel, when portraying Harold Lloyd in "A Sailor Made Man, is especially good. Joseph Delpuente as the Voice from Holiywood,'' introduces the charac-
 ters who are supposed to be on their way to the moving picture ball. .
 A pleasant relief from the many sharp-voiced jazz singers of today is
 Miss Ethel Hopkins, who has mary eIous voice and has selected fine
 program of songs with which to dis play it. In her repertoire is an ara from 'tCava1eria'' and Rudyard Kip 1in's famous "On the Road to Manda-
 Glass. Manning and Glass are wiz
 ards of the slack wire. Among their many stunts is the presentation of the famous Spanish dance, "Carmencita, and a Frisco" on the wire These two dances are gwen by MISS OldSS after which MT. Manning jumps and clears hurdles.
 The captain, the girl and the fun ny sai1or Harry Weston, Gladys Cor I.re1l and Dave Gardner are the actors in the little slit, "Au at Sea" The fine bill for the last half of the week is completed by the Big City Four, quartet of high class singers.
 "June Madness" featuring Viola Dana, although a comedy picture, con tains many thrilling incidents and is bound to please. An education com edv sCold Feet" Pathe News and a reel of Aesop's fables are also shown.

 This means that today will prac- tfcal1y sell out the entire house for the evenin go Gperformance and a brisk demand for the matinee seats indi- cates capacity for that presentation also.
 This is mentioned so that the public may have fair warning, if they in tend being among those present at either presentation, afternoon or evening, Saturday, to get in immediate touch with the box office and, failing that not hold the management cul- pablo when the end of the week comes and no seats are available.
 Aside from the fact that the Ed die Cantor show informally opens the Majestic and that an opening whatever the attraction is always a magnet to draw theatergoers for it is with out any question the greatest three hour show that has ever been staged in a musical comedy setting Cantor, as a single in vaudeville, commands 9 tremendous salary.

MT. Benson, the author, was for several years editor of Golfers and it is told of him that he completed and then destroyed four plays before he began work on Find Cynthia!' but that when the latter was presented to the Gordon firm it was accepted at once because of it's striking originality of theme and Virility of treatment.
 After selecting MT. Benson's pray the producers found a long, difficult task in properly casting the exacting g roles especially those of the young man and the girl whose strange TO- nance binds together the thrilling incidents and it was only after sur vey of the entire theatrical field that they selected William Boyd and F'rieda Inescort as thei deal inter preters Of these unusual characters:
 
 man with Maude Adams, Ethel Bar rpmore. Margaret Ang1in and last season seen in New York in Adam and Eva; the latter a brilliant young girl of truly remarkable personality who won immediate recognition on Broadway last season as the irresistt- b1e happer in Winthrop Anes' pro duction of '"The Truth About B1aydes." Other members of the cast are Lawrence Eddinger, famous Phara PfnTs actor. A T Harhart came to this country with Mrs. Pat rick Campbell in "Pygmalion". and later achieved success in "Beaucaire'' and in "Sumurum and will be readily remembered by patrons of the pie lures as a prominent member of the Griffith casts; John T.

PLAZA.

Hoyt's musical comedy company presented an entire new revue at the Plaza theatre yesterday and scored the same hit that their first offering g probably one of the finest tabloid companies that have ever been as- semb1ed and the fact that they play long engagements in many theatres shows how popular their talents can make them. New songs, comedy, evidenced yesterday and the chorus worked with a snap that kept things moving every moment. Their cos tunes were more becoming than those they wore in the first show. The re- vue runs about an hour and a quar- ter and affords 75 minutes of very pleasing entertainment.
 ''The Referee" starring Conway Tearle, opened yesterday, wal1oped across another hit. This Ralph Ince Book story. "John McArdle, Referee" is an ideal motion picture. The story was the kind to keep you up until the wee sma' hours, but the picture acru- ally makes you jump out of your seat nd yell Alta boy" And in the end it is of rather different sort than most c1inches-it consists of a kiss and warm embrace and there's no in- fighting a la Jack Dempsey.
 A big production announced for Sunday is Queen of the Moulin Rouge thrilling story of the Mont martre quarter of Paris as it really exists. Martha Mansfield and an alf- star supporting cast are in no small measure responsible for the decided success the feature has met. Tommy Levene's "Oh, You Baby' show with them ost fascinating chorus of beau ties in revue will be the tabloid for next week, beginning Monday.

Animated depletion Of action Of a historic character did not begin with the movies. From the ZeCtype and the shifting pictures enc was brought up to the Stereopucon and the d1S- solving SereCptiican. Probably none advanced the art of illusion on the stage so well as did Prof. H. A. Ar mond, who today is showing his Won- derful "NIemories of France at the destruction of Rheims. This is the greatest mechanical feat ever per formed upon a stage and is in strict keeping with the artistic deN eIopment of all Palace presentations.
 Miss Vera Myer, assisted by the Palace dance ensemble, gives a beau tifuI version of '"The Bubble Dance" as originated by her in the Greenwich Village Follies.
 Artistic operatic singing is pre- sented by Miss Marian Fabian, dra- Opera Company, who is seen on the Pala ce stage for a limited engagement only.

tain to receive substantial additions to
its budget in the ext general appropri-
alton bill in congress. This will be
welcome new to every resident of Car

this splendid government institution
has been seriously hampered for sever
al years by the policy of retrenchment
made necessary by the war.
Several years ago on the occasion
of a visit here Senator Warren be-
came especially interested in this
hatchery AMI i'm the results achieved
by Superintendent o. n. Baldwin,
who is one of the leading authorities
ON fish culture in the United States.
The senator at that time expressed a
determination. as soon as the coun-
try's finances warranted, to see that
the Saratoga hatchery was better taken
care Of in the matter Of appropriations.
Since that time he has taken a special
interest in the work being done by Mr..
Baldwin and his assistants.
Recently, Senator Warren and Geo.
Il. Brimmer interviewed Commissioner
O'Malley. Of the fisheries bureau on
several occasions. with the result that
the announcement is now authorized
that unless something at present en-
tirely unexpected happens along the
route over which the appropriations
bill must move. Superintendent Bald
