KEITH'S-Odiva and Trained Seals.

Ak
An attractive program, suitable for
this time of the year, is offered TINS
week at Keiths. There is nothing to
make you feel warm, but on the con-
trary plenty to keep down the tenn
perature
Odiva, the water queen, shows re
markable adeptness in the water,
while the almost human seals, trained
by Capt. Adams, performed wonder
ful stunts. This combination heads
the program during the remainder OF
the week: local bathing beauties will
contest for rich prizes for diving and
swimming ability. Last night but i've
from Washington appeared and
beauty contest was held. OF course, 1t
was won by the red head young
woman with gorgeous locks and al
most perfect figure. Any one of the
others might easily have been selected
on looks and forms, but rich auburn
treSSeS always seem a certain asset
with the contest judges. This quint
of beauties will remain in the running
the remainder of the week, and Man
ager Robbins says at least a dozen
more will be added by tonight.
An unusual original act is presented
by AIyer Golden under the title Mas
terpiece" 1t has a variety of scenes,
with fine singing and sensational dane
ing by world famous artists such as
Semenova. Martinez, Mari, Sevilla,
Bolokoff, Noljanin and WinneH. The
number may he justly Classed as an
all-fire hit The Hold Up in which
Semenova and Bolokoff appear is de-
lightfullly DONE the dancing of the
pair being almost perfection. In
Spain a singing and dancing scene
is used as a grand finale. The ap-
plause left no doubt as to the verdict
of the audience.
Then there are also Rae Eleanor
Ball and her brother in delightful vi
olin and cello solos that captured the
audience with their beauty. The laugh
ing hit of the evening came from
Olivette Haynes and Fred Beck.
Olivette introducing some rough stuff
that is "a scream"
A pair Of Jap equilibrists opened
the bill with remarkable stunts in the
air; Meehan and Newman followed
with a singing and dancing act that is
pleasing; Fortenello and Cirillino,
Italian clowns, with their old act,
scored as usual. and an excellent sing
ing act by two feminine singers, names
unknown, replaced Bert Gordon and
Co. on the program. scoring hit.
Their voices blended Sweetly and their
selections were popular. The house

of the Renaissance. 1t is of the time
when the monk, Savonarola, effects
the abdication of the De Medici, only
in turn to be renounced and put to
death by those whom he has unW1t-

the story are Romola Gillian Gish),
the cloistered and learned daughter of
the famous old scholar, Bardo Bardi;
one Tito Melema (William H. PowelD,
a shipwrecked Greek whose accidental
rescue of the old Bardi won for him
the latter'S esteem and gratitude;
Tessa dorothy Gish). the little coun-
try girl who believes her mock mar
riage to Tito Melema to be genuine,
and Carlo Ronald Colman), an artist
friend of the Bardi family whose love
for Romola remains undeclared until
he achieves fame
The picture version of the story diff
fers quite a bit from that of George
Eliot, but, unless one is familiar with
every detail of the original. it is thor
oughly enjoyable. Like all of Henry
Kings productions, "Romola" is a
finished bit of artistry long to be re-
membered.

An Argument on Evolution

An Argument on Evolution Mr. Editor:
 Since the subject of evolution seems to have gripped the minds Of many at this time, without wishing to start a controversy (which is use- less), l would appreciate a little space to answer many questions which have come 10 me, even from college students, such as: "ls evo- lution in harmony with the Bible H' While I do not doubt the sincerity of evolutionists, it is beyond me why they want to ring their ideas in with scripture. which states deti- nitely how long ago it was when Adam began to evolve, either as perfect man or a protoplasm. In Matt. 1:17 we have the summary of the generations from Abraham to- Christ In Luke 3;23-S8 we have a perfect line of ancestry from Jesus to Adam. In the Old Testament, | Gen. 5;1-S2 we can count the time | from Adam to Noah and in Gen. Ii we can continue the generations | from Noah to Abraham and also the number of years. Comparing these with the book of Chronicles, etc, the time from the creation of 1 Adam to our day is about six thou sand years. These figures are So plain that no one can deny them without casting aside the entire word of God, which in its entirety was endorsed by Christ, and all the apostles. But I will never argue with person if he thinks different, that is his own business; but when he sets up a monkey for his fore father and tries 10 make me believe that I sprang from the same stock object.

tories and never the interiors arc no whit different than people in other cities and throughout tho country generally. There are hum dreds of thousands of people living In and near Boston who have never been up the Bunker Ilill monument; there arc thousands in Washington who have never been up the Wash ington monument; there are thou sands in Waterbury who have never been through its manufacturing plants.
 There are millions In New Eng land who have never seen the scenic points of this tier of states; there are thousands In western Massa- chusetts who have never been up Mt. Tom; there are thousands in New Hampshire who have never seen the notches. Perhaps there arc millions In New York City who have never seen the skyline of the city from the highest skyscrapers, nor have ever been up the Statue of Liberty --- these journeys usually are left for the "visitors" from the hinterland who seem to appreciate such things more.
 There are thousands In Chicago who have never been through the stockyards, although every visitor to that windy city aims to "do" them shortly after arriving, There are some people living in western New York state who have never seen Niagara Falls: there are people in Detroit who nave never been in an automobile factory. At least three- quarters of the inhabitants of Ken 
 lucky never saw the Mammoth Cave. There may be people living In Colorado Springs who never were up Pike's Peak.

BLACK ROCK BRIDGE NEEDS RERVTJIDING

The Black Rock bridge still re- ceiyes the critical attention of citi- zens generally. A little patchwork is being done here and there, but the generally unsatisfactory condi- ton of the structure can scarcely be amellorated except by the major operation of complete reconstruc- dion. Why it has been permitted to remain in its present wretched shape is a mystery to tho thousands having occasion to use it.
 It is folly to delay what is so evidently needed in respect to this structure. It is not wide enough, It is not a question of restricting the structure, or putting a few new blanks in the sidewalks" over It. these are but temporary expedients. The city has or ought to have some rights in connection with the most important bridge spanning a rail- road in the city, and the most para mount right of the city is to have the bridge conform with the build ing line of West Main street.
 The sidewalk approaches 10 the bridge especially from the east. are also in sorry shape. The approach along the north side is particularly disgraceful. Why the city insists upon cement sidewalks in front oi improved property, while permitting q sort of COW path 10 be satisfactory along the vacant lot, as is the case here. is one of the mysteries o' municipal hous"holding that is be- vond the ken of most citizens. This vacant lot, by the way, Is not the only one in the city minus side walk in front or alongside Of II ] There is no logical reason why there should not be cement sidewalks il front of all vacant lots.
 Railroad officials recently were here for "confcrcnce" about th' Black Rock bridge; the only resul so far is a little patchwork. Rail road officials have habit of enter ing into discussions with city oftl cia!s while taking care that nothing Of moment comes Of them.

LLOYD GEORGE IS
 SCORED IN WILL Startling Revelations Reported
 in CurZ0n Testament

London, July 35 P>-London is all agog over statement printed in the Evening Standard" yesterday that it understood 1t was former Prime Minister David Lloyd George of whom Marquis Curzon of Kedleston dealt with "pungent Illuminating comment" In the so-called literary testament" of his will, which was probated Thursday.
 The newspaper said Marquis Cur zon's sharp shafts were directed at Mir. Lloyd George for having adopt" cd the functions of British foreign secretary during the arrangement of the peace treaty at Versailles. Cur zon during the framing of the treaty was Lloyd Georges secretary of state for foreign affairs.
 Contents Kept Secret Nothing has been made public concerning the contents of the docu~ ment, which was suppressed in tho probate court because of the start ling revelations" it contained con- corning the unnamed premier and other unnamed former colleagues of 1 Curzon in political life.

GRAIN SHIPMENTS AND BOSTON

 Then the Boston paper pontedly asked why none of the grain was shipped to Europe from Boston. "ls the explanation 10 he found in the fact that the other fellows 30 after the business, while wo wait for the business 10 come 10 us?" the paper asked.
 The query, if answered m the at- Hrmatiye, would be only partly true. The grain came from Canada. One shipload was sent through Port land because that is the eastern American soaboard terminus of the Grand Trunk railroad, or Canadian National line, as it Is now called; the shipments from New York were because that is the terminus Of the New York Central; the shipment from Philadelphia because that Is the favored seabosrd terminal ol the Pennsylvania; the shipment from Baltimore because that is tho favored scaboard terminal of tht Baltimore & Ohio.
