WONDERFUL MACHINES

This conclusion, of course, is not one that Oar

But, to barrow. there Is no escape; mechanism is
the explaining principle of all life.
There is way of definitely proving, in black
and white, mathematical exactitude, that this
mechanistic theory is wrong. But in the heart of
nearly every man there must rise up an instructive
protest against it.
Are we machines? We do not believe we are;
but if it be true, even barrow must admit that we
are the most cunningly devised machines that ever
graced this any other planet.
\ For look you: while we machines behave in
some ways as all other machines behave, needing
fuel, repair, and rest, and even wearing out when
worked too hard-we respond to some very in
tangible stimuli We are moved by htings that move
no other machines in existence; we have controlling
buttons and levers that be pressed only by I'M
seen hands; indeed, we generate our own commands

Whete Trade Lies

What we don't know is a mighty
argument for closer study of Far
Eastern affairs, Whatever else may
be said of it, trade opportunities lie
on the other side Of the Pacific and
we need them if we are to keep up
our rate of production.
Trade has always been the fore
runner of political movements. But
for the caravans the desert, Alex
ander would never have thought of
marching east. But for the POSSIBLE
ity of getting Oriental goods more
cheaply and quickly, Columbus would
never have set out to find west
ward passage to the Indies.
No one who has followed history
can doubt that we have more at
stake in the Pacific than in the At
lantic, or that our future will hinge
on the way we approach our
problems on the sunset horizon.

Wet Prosperous

The mos common argument in
favor of prohibition in this country
is that it has brought prosperity, but
the prosperity claimed for it here is
nothing compared to the prosperity
Ontario expects.
Ontario looks upon the prohibition
act as little short of a guarantee of
her vast and immediate, expansion.
With liquor permits to be had at
81 apiece, she looks for such a rush
of American tourists as was never
heard of before. Premier Ferguson
says he expects that no less than
100000 will cross the Detroit River
to enjoy Ontario's beer season this
year. The town is booming to this
idea. Hotels are being constructed
as rapidly as human ingenuity and
adequate capital will allow, and an
all-night ferry service is assured and
a lot of American money will find
its way into the province.

Snyder Tragedy Casts
Little Girl in SaddeSt
Role.
BY NJ. e. Tracy

A wife and her paramour plotting
death for the luclless husband over
bottle of bootleg hootch; a bridge
party which the wife and husband
attended with their 9-year-old daugh-
ter in tow; return home at
o'clock in the morning, where the
paramount hides and waits his
chance; some whispered words of
reinsurance between him and the
wife, while the doomed husband
seeks a bed from which he will
never rise, and then murder.
You wonder if you are reading
some weird tale spun out by dis
eased or drunken mind, until you
learn that it comes from the lips
Of the wife herself, after a fifteen.
hour grilling by the police.
Poor Mrs. Snyder why didn't she
seek divorce IL she couldn't find
happiness with her husband?
And the poor dupe. whom she has
implicated, why did he permit in
fatuation to lead him so far? Did
he hope to get away with what has
ruined so many men?
Worst Of all, poor little Lorraine,
who must face long. long future,
with the biggest memory of her
childhood centering around father
who was beaten to death while he
slept and a mother who lconfesses
she was party to the crime.
Such tragedies have occurred be-
fore, and the chances are they will
occur again, but they are not so
common. thank God, as to. be on

lead.

RE. UE SKETCHES FOUND
IN SHARPLES ACT HERE.

IN SHARPLES ACT HERE.
There is the spirit Of a big revue
in the, variety Offering of Wally
Sharples and company in Smile
Awhile" at Keith's this week.
The act has class and style from
the very beginning, when two pages
announce that the sketch to be pre-
scented had to do with murder. Here
we see Mr.. Sharples as the dis
tressed husband of a dead wife. The
police pin the murder on. him, and
then, by the use of the "flashback,' y
Sharpless acts out the tragedy" II
seems that when the husband came
home from work his wife had a fine
dinner for him, but the menu con-
tainHd no beans.
And all because friend husband
loved beans better than anything In
the world, he drew out his revolver
and shot his wife to death because
she failed to give his beans for sup
per.
The police officer was so touched
at the tragedy that he invited the
poor husband to his house for din
ner. And when the police officer
discovered that his wife had failed
to prepare pineapple--well, he ups
and shoots her.
The second sketch, as announced,
was written by a crazy man. 1t
sure is crazy, but it is funny. The
third number brings the entire COM
pany on the stage to present bur-
lesque version Of grand opera. To
the strains of noble operatic music.
the singers tell the sad story of
Sally, the girl who disappeared and
never returned. Sally has been miss
ing for a long time and this oper-
attic outburst tells the whole sad
story Of Sally.
Here is rare and good fun in
travesty. 1t is splendidly presented
by Mr.. Sharples and his associates.
Miss Beverly Bayne, remembered
for her work some time ago on the
screen, is present in a little sketch,
called From Eight Till Twelve" 1t
concerns a man and his wife. Hus-
band wants to go out and play poker
with friends and so the wife decides
upon a plan which more than cured
her husband of the poker fever.
Miss Bayne is a beautiful woman
and does very we'll in a little sketch
which does not call for any heavy
work. There are two others in the
company.
Miss PATRICIA is back with her
violin and the same nature of songs
with which she has been identified
so many years.
The Pasqualj Bros. are indeed
three unusual men when it comes
to putting over an acrobatic routine.
Some mighty good work here.
Joe Weston and Harriet Hutchins
have an eccentric comedy offering
in which Miss Hutchins dominates
everything by her active personality
and eccentric manners.
Lew Castleton and Max Mack are
two good soft shoe dancers. Their
eccentric stepping is splendid. They
have burlesque on acrobats. Wen
done.
Herberta Beeson still remains one
of the best dancers on the wire.
At Keith's all week.

ANOTHER MERGER

Before the public service commission approves
of the purchase of the Independent bus lines by the
street railway system the people should be in
formed to what may be expected from this change
in ownership.
Theoretically, single ownership of transporta
ton system inside the city seems desirable.
But there is a question as to whether the bus
lines and the street can be considered competi
tive and if they competitive, whether it is not
competition as to the quality or service rather than
to price.
Apparently very large number of people were
willing and eager to pay higher fare for rides in
the gasoline propelled buses than they were to pay
the lower fare for street cars.
That suggests that perhaps the time has come
when the bus is permanent necessity in city trans
portaton and that many citizens find it convenient
for their purposes and willing to pay for it,
If this be true, then there should certainly be
some protection for this part of the public and some
certainty that they will be insured of continuation
of this sort of service
If the purchase of bus Lines by the street rail
ways is for the sole purpose Of driving those who
have patronized the bus lines into patronizng the
street cars, the public service commission should dis
cover that fact.
Possibly the street railway company is in bet
ter position to give bus service than the independent
lines.
1t seems very certain that the only way in
which these bus lines could attract four million pas
sengers year was by offering something which the
public wanted and needd.
If that be true, then that service should not be
discontinued without some showing that it is un
necessary. .4<sf-
The public has right to the best Transports
ton system possible and if monopoly interiors with
that sort of service there should be no monopoly.
The reported price of half million dollars for a
bus service that has been built up under very great
handcaps and with little official opposition sug-
gests that it is a business which may be needed.

and moths and in Chicago it was
one of the leaders for months. Here
is a clean jlay. One that makes
people glad to so to the theater. Ii
is a noisy show, but it has that
punch of youth which makes one
want to yell and become a college

needs entertainment of the type or

not care if the Nugents have vio'
lated most of the rules of play

hundred more if they will give the
American stage another "Kempy'
and another 1.-THE Poor Nut"
Elliott Nugent is cast as John
Miller as a poor boob Of a student
working in a book store off OF a col
lege campus.
The play actually deals with the
way that our John Miller became
track hero and a winner at a col
| lege track meet. Am not going to
tell YOU the method because the
process is in the hands of two girls
-Margerie Blake, played by Norma
Lee, and Julia Winters, played by
Betty Garde.
The second act is the. big WOW of
the play-the trainers tent in the
athletic field and then the official
boxes at a corner OF the stadium.
Here is the scene where Percy Hell
| ton as "Magpie" WEIGH, the cheer
leader of Ohio State, works the act
up to one of the most thrilling acts
that any play can boast of. Helton
has that naural sort of rough and
ready college way about him that
makes him favorite from the start.

ton in Chicago and took an air.
plane from there to Indianapolis,
arriving shortly before the curtain
went up. That little ride cost Hell
ton over 500. But he was on time
and gave a great performance.
Elliott Nugent has carved for
himself a permanent place of fame
upon the stage. There are only
three of the younger ones who have
such position. They are Gregory
Kelly, Glenn Hunter and Nugent:
Nugent has that honest to good
ness something about him which
causes him to make every charac-
ter he attempts as real as if he
were living the part. And that is
artistry.
Miss Norma Lee is one of those
lovely aids to most ENJOYABLE eve
ming. Larrie Fletcher, who did
such splendid work with Stuart
Walkers company at Keith's last
season, is cast as Spike" Hoyt. 1t
is noisy role and Fletcher LIS a
great time with it.
The cast is large one. 1.-THE
Poor Nut" is one of the best buys
of the season. You are going to
feel like kicking yourself if you
don't see this one.

THREE REAL WINNERS
ON BILL AT THE LYRIC

The winners at the Lyric this
week are as follows:
First-Cliff Edwards, known as
"Ukelele Ike" who is an estab-
blished favorite with those who go
in for photograph music. Edwards
knows how to handle the luke" but
was more impressed with the way
he got strange sounds out of his
throat and then syncopated those
sounds into haunting harmony. He
opens with Sunday" and the goes
into a rountine OF comedy numbers
as well as a number of stories. He
is a complete success upon the
stage. He has a stage presence
which helps him greatly in putting
over his intimate music.
Second-Mildred Carew and girls
in one of the best, most finished
and pretty dance offerings of the
season. This act has delicate charm
and exquisite beauty. 1t is seldom
that you find such pretty girls and
talented as to dance in a vaudeville
offering. The opening dance Is old

Borah'S Boom

Whether Senator Borah is making
a bid for the Republican presidential
nomination, other people stand
ready to make it for him, as was
brought out in New Haven, Sun
day.
His attitude on prohibition and the
foreign policy has served to make
him an outstanding figure.
There is little room for choice be-
tween him and President Coolidge
without regard to the former, but
there is plenty room with regard to
the latter.
Borah is utterly opposed to the
Administrators course in Mica
ragua and Mexico
If he has it in mind to be a candl-
date for the Republican nomination
he should talk about that more and
prohibition less.

it accomplshes this purpose Justice Seegers decision
will have done much for the country.
However, 1t leaves only one thing to be desired
Had it been possible to frame the decision in such
way that it would have discouraged Daddy, too the
document would have been worthwhile one, in
deed.
AS it is there is danger that Daddy's fertile brain
may devise some new unwholesome activity to put
him back the front pages.
For the past two years Brownings adventures in
adoption and matrimony have done more to pollute
thought than all the plays that now harass New
York censors.
More than all things it is to be desired that he
shall pass into complete and permanent oblivion.

China, the Enigma

China is land in travail with the
fall Of Shanghai standing forth as
the latest big event.
The scene Of action is too far
away and the people taking part
in 1t are too strange for us Ameri-
cans to understand clearly what has
actually occurred, much less what the
future holds.
Quite evidently something of stu
pendous Importance is happening
in China, something that might
easily change the drift of human
empire, but we don't sense it; we
lack the background.
Some say the second largest en-
pire on earth is about to go Bolshe-
yik, that a pan-Asiatic league is In
the course of formation with Russia
leading the way, that before the
fracas is over, India and other
European possessions will be sflame
with revolt.
Others say it amounts to little,
save change OF masters; that if
any outside power profits it will be
Japan, not Russia, and that all wes-
tern nations need to do is establish
friendly relations with the Canton
csc.
