VAUDEVILLE AND
 PICTURE AT LOEW'S
Varied and Entertaining Bill, With Strong Photo Drama,
 Is the Offering

Loew's Biiou presents the public the last half of the week with five acts of good clean vaudeville. Their offerings are both varied and enter taining and are put over in fine style.
 Antoinette Crawford and company give an unusually clever little one- act comedy skit entitled "A Perfect Day" The act Is centered around q hysterical young wife who refuses to listen to reason and has none herself. Jimmie Cooper, black-face come dian, is exceptionally good in his character rendition. His version of a dark town parson made quite a hit. The topic of his sermon was money" and his chief aim seemed to be to re- mind his stupid congregation that 1t interested him" as well as every body else.
 Tojetti and Bennett are fine fh their dances of the old days. They also introduce a bit of snappy jazz dancing.
 Other acts worthy of praise are "Najo and Rizzo," who render &C., cordian and violin solos, their selec- tions being both classical and popu- lar, with a grand finale which fea- tured "The Shiek," and, "The Bart letts," aerial artists.
 The screen offering is Pearl White in without Fear" a romance cen tering about a pampered society girl and a millionaire ne'er-do-well.

 Mtlk Controversy
 Debate over the milk and cream duties developed controversy among New England senators, with Senator Walsh, democrat, Massachusetts. lead- ing the fight to reduce the rates, and Senator Dillingham;, republican. Vermont, supporting the committee duties. Senator Lodge, Massachu- setts, the republican leader. sought to have reduced the rate on cream used for household purposes. but his amendment was rejected, s5 to 1e.
 Discussion of the proposed duty on honey brought forth considerable humor and sarcasm from the demo- cratic side. Senator Stanley of Ken lucky, remarked that no doubt the duty was designed to sustain the higher standard of living of the American honeybee and he declared that the utter indifference of the democratis party to the American honey bee is. pathetic"
 Protect Bees
 Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska, gave 1t as his opinion that the duty was designed to protect the American pee from the German bee. which, he said, necessarily enjoyed a much lower liv- ing cost than the American bee.
 Senators Johnson and Shortridge. California, republicans, defended the committee rate. Senator Johnson declared the condition of the honey industry in his state was not a mat ter for laughter; that 1t was ex- tremely serious and that importations were threatening it's very existence.
