Earl CAROLS "Vanities.'

In the present-day world, with Its
unmistakable change in manners Isrs
something more than plain, ordinary
reportorial ability Is required to fair
ly describe the modern revue. Opin-
ions differ widely, very widely. and

been endeavoring to take a course in

self somewhat embarrassed In his

evening to a capacity audience, If
the audience knew anything about it,

with clean, wholesome comedy; it
has the prettiest aggregation Of
femininity that has been offered here;

melodfously attractive, even though
there be no pretense at concert or
grand opera vocal selections. 1t is
admirably staged and there isssome-

Oswald as the singer, Carlena Dia-

Neal as the child and Amy Frank,
Olga Borowska, Lucille Moore and

staged by Sonia Gluck and defies

danseuse and Renoff as. the slave
dealer: with corps de ballet, and
"Adagio," by Renoff and Renoya.

There are many other visions of
loneliness furnished by the army Of
pretty girls that hobs on and off the
stage in every conceivable kind and
absence OF costume, butt is only fair
to the producer to say that he aims
throughout at the beautiful. if not
artistic, effects. and that the sophisti-

to resent. even II there may have
been an occasional thrill. There is
nothing ugly or suggestive

Sir Harry Lauder.

Sir Harry Lauder is with us aga,
at Polls Theater, the same inimitabl.
Scot, full of his old-time ardor and
contagious good humor. The big au-
dience was wholly captured last
night 1t lent itself willingly to the
Lauder laughter. 1t applauded his
new songs and sang with him some
of his old ones.
Sir Harry said he was on his third
annual farewell tour-with a deep
chuckle---which, provoking a jolly re-
Spouse. drew from him the promise
there would surely have to be q
fourth annual farewell tour.
Departing a bit from the easy HUI
NOR of his fun, the entertainer jump

vein when he declared the world was
tired of war; the nations of the
world must have a moral understand
ing one with another, or it will be
the same as it was before. We are
not sane and reasonable unless we
can sit down at a table and talk it
over"
Songs were sung by the Scot in his
own peculiarly happy way. Without
a marvellous throat or voice, or won
derful range or fancy ability, Sir
Harry Lauder seems to be endowed

JUS what effect LaFolletfe's eandi-
dacy on an independent Republican
ticket will have in the November cleo
ton is hard to predict. The Demo
cfats hope he will poll large enough
vote to split the Republican ticket and
give them a repetition Of the history
Of Roosevelts Bull Moose venture.
That i quite probably what his can
didacy will do for the Republican
party, if the Democrats succeed in
nominating popular candidate.
Unfortunately the Democrats have
no outstanding leader like Hiram
johnson, who is available. If they
had he could be elected with LaFol-
lette pulling for second or third place
and embarrassing the Republican ma
chine candidate.
Unfortunately the Democrats still
have William Jennings Bryan Wit

race without his support.

There will be other candidates in the
field. Senator Bob LaFollette will
lead on a so-called progressive ticket,
though he cannot strictly be called a
progressive except in his opposition to
a few members of congress.
Hiram Johnson, who was much
talked Of, is too much of the Roose-
welt type to ever procure the NOM
ination from the Republican machine.
He might take turn at the vice
presidency, but it is safe to predict
that he will not be granted the oppor-
tunity. The machine has had one trial
at that sort of thing when it let Roose-
welt slip in, thinking they had per

The convention will open with pray
er. There is dignity to prayer that
adds religious and patriotic touch
to national convention, though I'M
der the circumstances it may be eX-
pected that the prayer will be futile.
About the only thing the clergyman
can do under the conditions is to pray
that Providence may not intervene to
spoil the program. That would be
practical. If in the course of the con-
venton it appears that Providence Is
not in tune with the convention pro
gram and proceeds to interfere we
suggest the prayer of the demonaic of
Gadara: Let US alone--hast thou
come to destroy US before our time ?

The Republican national conven-
vention meets this week in Cleveland.
From all reports in political circles
it is purely formality Everything
is definitely planned beforehand and
the wheels of the machine are prob
ably "oiled.'
1t may not be definitely known just
which way the wheels will move, but
they may be expected to move ac-
cording to the plans of the machine
in one of two or three directions.
1t is definitely settled that a pro-
gressive Republican cannot be nom
mated. The nominee will probably
be Calvin Coolidge, and it is quite
probable that only two or three bal
lots will be required to perform the

There is some question as to who
will be his running mate. Former
Governor Lowden has been offered
the position on a platter, but the
platter is not large enough to suit
him. He has been a candidate for the
presidency, and it is somewhat Of q
comedown for a former presidential
aspirant to take a lower office within
the gift Of the people. Hence Mr.
Lowden has respectively declined the
profered honor.
Now the Republican machine is in
the air when it comes to nominating
a president. Herbert Hoover
has been suggested, but it IS hardly
probable that a cabinet officer, and a
man of international fame, would
accept the obscure office of vice
president, whose only outstanding pre-
rogative is to preside over the sen~te.
Presidents sometimes die while Ia
office, and there is about one chance
in four or five that the president-elect
will die before he has completed his
term Of office There Is always a
chance that the vice president may
become the president, but it requires
a good gambler who hopes to procure
the office in that manner. Great men
prefer to gamble at other things
where large amount of capital is
invested and where the monetary re-
turns are much larger.
