UNCLE WIGGlLY AND THE
POOR BIRD.
BY Howard 3. CARTS.

where are you going, Uncle
Wiggily?" asked Nurse Jane one
evening after supper, as she saw
the bunny gentleman hop SLOWLY
down toward the front gate of
the hollow stump bungalow. "Arc
you going to the moving pic
tures?"
"Not this evening"" answered
the rabbit gentleman. cat least
not right away. If you would
like to so I'll come back in time
to take you to the second show"
THAT would be delightful"
spoke the muskrat lady house
keeper, but where are you 60
ing now"
"Out into the woods a little
way, to look for some hungry
birds" answered the bunny gen
tleman. II have still left some of
the garden seeds, for the horned
lark, to whom l gave some yes
terday, did not eat them all. SO
thought l would now take them
to the woods"
But evening is coming on"
said Nurse Jane. Soon it will be
dark, and there are few birds out
after the sun goes down. Besides,
it will be too dark for them to see
to pick up the seeds you scatter"
THAT may be So" agreed
Uncle Wiggily. But it will not
be entirely dark for half an hour
or SO, and l may meet a hungry
bird"
So saying, the kind bunny gen
tleman hoped to the woods.
Uncle Wiggily was hopping here
and there, looking amid the trees
and bushes for some bird he
might feed with the leftover gar
den seed when, all of a sudden.
there was a rustling in the under
bushes, and a large brown bird,
with a few light feathers on the
side of its tail, moved out into u
little clearing. Uncle Wiggily, in
the twilight saw that the bird
had a short but strong beak and
a large mouth, around which
grew bristling hairs.
What bird are you?" asked
the bunny politely.
II am the Poor Bird, or, to
give me my full name, the Whip
Poor viii Bird" was the answer.
"Of course ] didn't whip poor
viii. or any other boy" laughed
the bird, but my song sounds
like those words, and so l am
called"
"Oh. yes, I have heard your
CALL" said Uncle Wiggily "WrI
you have a few seeds?" he asked
politely.
THANK you, no." answered the
bird. "At times | may nibble q
seed or two but mostly | eat bad
bugs and biting mosquitoes. That
is why | have such a large mouth.
with bristles in which the bad
bugs become tangled SO l can
easily catch them. Keep your
seeds for birds that need them
more than l. I am going to start
out now for my mosquito supper
why, Nurse Jane said it was
time for birds to go to bed" spoke
the bunny gentleman. in some
. surprise.

but ! must have bugs. l hope
may see you again, Uncle Wig
gily. You tried to do me favor
and I wish l could do one for
you."
"oh don't speak Of such a
thing!" begged the modest rabbit
gentleman.
Then Uncle Wigglly scattered
the seeds on the ground SO some
birds might find them in the
morning. and hoped back TO his
hollow stump bungalow. Mean
while the Whip Poor Will bird
winged its way through the dark
forest, catching in its big, brist-
ling mouth many bad biting bugs
and mosquitoes.
All Of sudden, just as Uncle
Wtggily was almost home, there
was another rustling in the bushes.
This time, instead of kind bird
coming out, there sprang forth
the Skiliery Scallery Alligator
with the humps on his tail.
"Ah, hal" gurgled the Gator.
Now for some good ear nibblng."
"Oh, please don't nibbc my
ears" begged the bunny
Pooh! Nonsense OF course
I'll nibble your ears" cried the
Skillery Scallery chap.
He was just going to catch the
bunny gentleman when, all at
once, there sounded through the
woods the mournful cry of:

FINANCIAL
Wall Street,


New York, May 19.-Speculative
activity in the stock market was
revived on a comprehensive scale
today, mainly as a result of easier
money rates, virtually all forms of
accommodation falling to lowest
levels in almost five years.
Aside from call loans, which
were freely obtainable at So down
to per cent, S0-day money eased
to 81 per cent. 60-day money was
offered at A per cent and loans eX-
tending almost to the years end
were negotiated on a Az per cent
basis.
A very large proportion Of the
DAYS funds came from interior
sources, especially New England
and the middle west, but the higher
ratio of reserves reported in the
weekly statement of the local fed
cral reserve bank bespoke relaxed
conditions at this center.
Movements of foreign exchanges
were irregular on small dealings.
The London rate eased slightly
from Yesterdays higher level and
French Belgian and Italian bills
were two TO eight points lower, Ira
against showing acute weakness.

HILLIARD PLAY IN STOCK
orpheum Players Give "a Fool
There Was" for Holiday Week

Orpheum-The many powerful and
gripping dramatic situations in Robert
Hiliard's stage success, "a Fool There
Was,' are exccllently taken care Of BY
the orpheum Players, who have chosen
this stirring play for their. New Years
week bill. Dwight A. Meade scores an
undoubted hit In the part of the man OF
affairs, sent by the President on an i'm
portant mission to the English Govern
ment, and Gertrude Ritchle rises to all
the requirements Of the "vampire''
whom he meets on shipboard and with
whom he becomes entangled in spite
OF his love for his wife and children at
home. ~
Ruth Robinson, MS the wife, who wins
him back in the end, makes the most of
her difficult part and acts with all the
appeal that has won her such follow
ing.
The other roles are capably filled by
Molly Fisher, John w. Lott, Bernard
j. McOwen, Harry WLlgus, William
Davidgc and Lester Howard, Mr.. Lott
being especially good.

"BR0KEN WING" IN STOCK
Mae Desmond Players In Thriller a,
Opera House

Metropclitan-An ambitious produc.
tion of Broadway hit last year, which
has never played in Philadelphia, was
seen last night by an enthusiastic au
dience, which seemed to like the
Broken Wing immensely.
This is a melodrama, with comedy
trimmings, with scenes down around
Mexico, where young Mexican girl,
loved by rather villainous officer in
that country's army, makes n prayer
that she be sent n husband from the
skies. A young American airman
comes catapulting down, as If in an
sswer, when the wing of his plane col
lapses. That is just the beginning,
and for the rest of the play things
move along in brisk and exciting fash
ion.
Miss Desmond, Frank Fielder and
the other members Of the company ac-
quit themselves well, and the thrill
of the falling plane is excellently
staged.

ARLISS AS DISRAELI
GREAT FILM FIGURE
Star Duplicates Success Of
Stage in Fine Screen Ver-
sion Of His Play

Aldine-These are days when hand
picked. unduly inflated screen stars and
'starettes" must look to their laurels
and do some acting for a change. If
they do not some "decrepit old wreck"
from the spoken drama who considers
more than his clothes in the acting of
part will come along and prick their
money inflated bubbles.
George Ariiss in no way resembles n
''decrepit old wreck" but he seems set
on showing a lot Of screen players q
thing or two about their own art. In
The Devil he began their education !;
in "Disraeli" he just about finishes it.
The screen version of "Disraeli' is
not at all what some people expected it
would be, mutilated. distorted, movie
lied version of the stage play, with a
set Of sub titles that emanated from
some obscure scenario writer. No, sir.
IL Is every whit as dignified and sincere
as the original and, by the same token,
every bit as fascinating.
The story of the great English states
man and his dream of empire" is told
directly and dramatically. There are
thrills in his efforts to cope with the
Vaccinations Of Russian spies in his
plan to put across the purchase Of the
Suez Canal; real pathos in his attach
ment for his wife. the ailing Lady Bea-
constield; spirit and color in his final
triumph as he walks through the court
room TO receive the thanks of his be-
loved Queen.
The pretty little love story of his Sec
retary is told in a minor key which
never disturbs the main theme. Arllss
as Disraeli Is always the main figure,
always the appealing one.
The great dramatic scene In which
Disraeli, apparently beaten by his enc
mics, commands the governor of the
Bank of England to make good the
money for the canals purchase is one
or the screens finest moments, and in
the hands of Mr.. Arliss and Z. J. Rat
cllte becomes a mighty thrill indeed.
The period of the story IS we'll taken
care of the characters that appear in
its telling move with authority and
good taste. Louise Huff returns to the
screen new person. A little more
mature, but just as charming, she does
the best work of her career as the young
girl whose love affair Disraeli cham.
pions. Ratclife, mentioned before, is
a commanding figure. Frank Losee as
Meyers, the London banker. gives m.
other of his finished character delinea
tions. Mrs. Arliss Is appealing as the
statesman's wife.
The sub titles, very often taken from
the play, are real delight. There is no
| evidence in them Of desire to come
down to the level OF the nlckelodeon,
Their subtlety. their flashing wit, their
barbed innuendo make them stand apart
from the average stuff.
But, after all, it is Arliss who domi-
mates the film, as he has dominated so
many stage plays of vastly inferior
merit. Last New Years Day he was
playing here in The Green Goddess
before the footlights. Cinema fans are
to be congratulated that he has con.
sented to divide his talents between the
two arts and has mastered the screen
technique as he did the stage. His Dis.
rGeli belongs In the picture Hall of
Fame.

shows in one-vaudevillc and circus
are offered the investor in entertainment
here. The combined effect makes n
regular "hoop-la" performance and
gives no chance for n dull moment.
Alice Lloyd, charming as of yorc,
sang a number of really delightful songs
which teemed with old fashioned philos-
ophy and the follies of the day rs well.
She took cure that the words reached
the audience as well as the melodies.
The well known Hannefords with the
famous "Poodles'' supplied the circus
element. This seStct of daring eques
trians gave a thrill every moment and
Poodles added some man sized laughs
between the thrills. This act, which has
been n feature of the New York Hippo
drome for several seasons, brought big
harvest If applause.
Classical offerings of the past and q
few of the songs of today were included
in the repertoire of Guipe Ciccolini, n
young Italian tenor, late of the Chicago
Opera Company and Covent Garden,
London. He possesses voice of re-
markable sweetness and sang with ex-
cellent expression.
There is no lost motion in the skit
''Home Times Have Changed" offered
by Charles Howard, assisted by James
Graham nrd Alberta Fowler. 1t is pune
tuated with wit of spontaneous order
and the laughs come quickly.
AlCen Bronson in the sketch Late
Again" followed the comedy pace of the
show, with good results.
Tameo Kajiyama, known as "the
man with the five minds" showed that
he could do five things at one time
without the least concern. Despite the
details involved in his act it was highly
entertaining and scored emphatically.
Sailor BIZ Reilly told some jolly
