at the Strand yesterday afternoon
presents many and varied novelties

pretentious act on the program Of
fers something in a revue that is
much different than one has been
accustomed to seeing in vaudeville
these days With its cast of nine en-
tertainers accompanied by marim-
ba musical aggregation this act took
the audience by storm. Martha Pryor
dispensed a splendid assortment of
songs and smiles that won her a nice
response. The Miller Duo Ed
Miller was one of the original men,
bers of the famous Avon Comedy
Four-sings a splendid routine of
songs and the audience it seemed
wanted more and more of them.
Billy Batcheller & Co. in their turn
called "All Aboard" furnished the
laughs of the bill while Ossi and
Zech presented an offering in whip
craftsmanship that amazed the spec
tators. The feature photoplay is
women Love Diamonds" and
proved to be a mighty entertaining
fun.
The big attraction for next week
is of course Elinor Gyms 1T" star

NO ULTIMATUM FROM BABE
Reports of Threat From Star Denied
by Yankee management.

New York. Feb. 25 Pl-Babe Ruth
hasn't delivered any ultimatum to
Colonel Jacob Rupert. owner of the
Yankees, on the publication of the
big hitter's 1927 salary demands.
This announcement came from the
Yankee offices today after receipt
of a telegram from Ruth's business
manager denying that the Babe had
issued the threat reported in Los
Angeles yesterday.
The message from Ruth, according
to Ed Barrow, club secretary, said
the slugger was working might and
day to finish up his motion picture
work in order to hurry back east
for a conference on terms. He is
expected here by next Wednesday,
Barrow said.
Meanwhile Ruth's much discussed
letter has not been received but even
if it is Yankee officials intend to
withhold any statements until Ruth
arrives.

mo. No. Nanette" dropped off at
Parsons theater, Hartford, last
night for a three days visit and for
a time it seemed as if 1t would re-
ceive a cool reception. For more than
half an hour the audience failed to
warm up to this musical comedy,
which has had a remarkable record
of presentations all over the world,
and the members of the cast must
have thought that the folks on the
other side of the footlights were
handcuffed. But eventually, those
present began to respond and before
long were displaying intense en-
thusiasm which continued through
out the rest Of the evening. The ac-
tors noticed the change in the at
mosphere and. entering into the new
spirit, swung into action with will.
The present cast suffers by COM
parison with the performers who ap-
same show year ago. At the same
time, it should be stated that they
do well and offer an entertainment
of marked merit with clever lines
and good dancing. The company is
below par in soloists. The song hits,
as most people know, are Il Want to
Be Happy" mo, No, Nanette.' Tea
for Two and who's the Who?'
Helen Case seemed to win highest
favor as Lucille. Roland Woodruff
and Fred Manett hold up their ends
as the two principal male characters.
Mary Spoons forte is dancing, which
gift she displays to the pleasure of
those who watch her. Eulalie Young
deserves special mention for her
natural characterization of Pauline,
the cook. AS a coincidence, Miss
Young does a large share of the work
and does it successfully. Irene Conner
and Eva Vincent contribute the
dance hits. Miss Conner is vivacious
little thing who has been dancing her
way around the country with Ma
nette' SO long she has forgotten
when she started. She was with the
original company which toured the
east. Miss Vincent striking Span
ish type, is grace personified. Janet
Horton. as Flora from Frisco, was
also with the original company.
mo, No, Nanette" will be played
tonight and Saturday night with a
matinee Saturday.

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-Grain futures
worked nervously in rather narrow
ranges at today's session on the
Chicago board of trade. Good ex-
port business, and better mill de-
mand, strengthened wheat, and 9TH
er grains followed.
Wheat opened with fractional de-
clineS, on lower Liverpool cables.
Continued fine weather over the
Canadian Northwest, some north
west hedging, and enormous Ca
madam marketing gave the early
market aslightly heavy tone. Later
an export business of 100000 bushels,
mostly Manitobas, was reported
booked for the continent. Mill de-
mand also improved. These factors
induced a rally. Receipts were thirty
cars. Cash was Il cent higher.
Although corn opened lower with
wheat, and the general tone was
bearish, the market displayed two
sided tendencies. Many local trad
ers were be:rish, believing that pri-
vate reports due about Nov. /, would
show large increase. Other trad
ers, however, believed the decline to
be about over. Receipts were 33I
cars and cash was Y cent lower. T.,
Oats were uneven, deferred de-
liveries showing some decline, and
early deliveries sharp rally in
sympathy with wheat.
Provisions worked lower.
