HIGH SCHOOL ANIMALS
HEADLINE THIS CIRCUS
All Sorts of Fun for Boys and
Girls and Others at Gentry
Show.
Cheer up, children, the circus Is here.
It's not the largest circus In the world,
but It Is surely "some" show. If you
don't believe It, go and tako a look far
yourself. Besides, tho entrance fco Is
reasonable. Kor about 40 cents you enn
have barrels of fun. Including pony and
elephant rides, a "Jitney" concert which
is a "scream," and see Just loads of
"acts" and "stunts" which are likely to
make your little hands ache from clap
ping. Lovers of music, lovers of dancing, lov
ers of animals. In fact, all who like to
see both children and grown-ups have a
good time, should take In the Gentry
Brothers Show and Circus, which Is being
welcomed In Philadelphia this week for
the first time In 12 years.
It's "some" show, as abovo stated. The
troupe Includes nearly 300 persons, 93
ponies and horses that are Just too Bweet
for words," as one woman In tho audlenco
remarked, and DO trick dogs, not to forget
the big elephants that act almost human,
and monkeys, donkeys, lions and other
animals and "stunts" galore.
The music Is a featuro In Itself. When
the band starts, people's feet Just can't
seem to "behave." There aro few, If any.
Intermissions, and everything seems to
dance. The big white horses with tho
smooth. Inviting round backB, walk nnd
Cakewalk, trot and fox trot, and tho ma-Jestlc-looklng
"Araby" ridden by Bessie
Hodshlre seems to even have mastered
tho catchy and famous twinkle step.
Even the dogs waltz, and a little vest-pocket-size
pig looks cute enough to hug.
Babe, Queen and Pinto, tho three pet
elephants, have already made a decided
"hit.'
in ract, they mado several hits.
They play baseball and are known as the
heaviest hitters In any league. After de
lighting the crowd with their antics they
give a musical entertainment that Is a
"scream." They are ushered into the
tent with lively music, carrying real live
trunks In their trunks, which they awing
to danco music time.
The "Jitney" concert Is a "circus." It
Is given by monkeys and dogs. Besides
the usual monkey Are brigade and patrol
wagon, the monkeys enact a little barber
shop scene. The barber and customer
get into an argument and both proceed
to peel their coats and square off. They
are separated by one of the attendants
and finally shake hands In realistic
fashion.
The Avalon Troupe has a long list of
acrobatic and halr-ralslng stunts. Ono of
the many features of the show Is
"nalelgh" the North Carolina mule. A
cash prize Is offered to any one who can
ride him. Those who attempt It usually
fclto the dust He has the reputation of
being- one of the hardest kickers of his
Wnd. and he lives up to his reputation.
The pet ponies evidently read the news
papers, as they believe In an up-to-date
army. They perform a catchy military
drill, which would delight any garrison.
Romeo, one of the ponies, appears as
romantic as his name. He proceeds to
collapse during the drill, and assistance
Is summoned In the form of a monkey
doctor. The monkey administers first aid
to the Injured, feels his patients's pulse,
but when he prescribes rigid treatment
Borneo forgets hla ailment and canters oft
with a flying kick of his heels.
After the performance the children are
Invited to ride the elephants and ponies,
Needless to say, the Invitation does not
go unheeded, and many youngsters are
Inclined to think the elephant ride- has
the see-saw beaten a mile.

TARZAN OF THE APES
The Thrilling Adventures of a Primeval Man
and an American Girl
By EDGAR KICE BURROUGHS
Copyright. 1914. by A. C. McClurs tympany.
CHAPTER XXVII-CContlnued).
"Certainly, sir; certainly, sir." e'm
ed Professor Potter. "How could you
doubt It?"
"There Is young Clayton, you know
suggested Canler. "He has been hanging
about for months," ,
"Tut-tut, Mr. Canler: unle-"1"1,7'
"Unless you see (It to request that Jane
and I be married at once," said Canler,
slowly and distinctly.
"I have already suggested to Jan i that
It would be desirable." said , feasor
Porter, sadly, "for we can no longer af
ford to keep up this house and llvo as
her associations demanu.
"What was her reply?" asked Canler.
"She said she was not ready to mam
.... ...,h,i trnf3or Porter,
"and that we' could go and live upon tho
farm In Northern Wisconsin which her
mother left her
"It Is a little more than Bclf-supporllng.
The tenants have always made a living
from It, and been able to send Jane a
trlllo beside each year.
"She Is planning on our going up there
the first of the week. Philander and Mr.
Clayton have already gone to get tilings
In readiness for us."
"Clayton has gone thero?" exclaimed
Canler. visibly chagrlnod. "Why was
not I told? I would gladly have gono
and seen that ovcry comfort was pro
vided." "Jane feels that wo nre already too
much In your debt, Mr. Canler,' said
Professor Porter.
Cantor was about to reVly when the
sound of footsteps came from the hall
without, nnd Jane Porter entered the
room. ... , ,
"Oh, I beg your pardon:" sno excianii
I. naimlnc on the threshold. "I thought
cd. Dauslng on the threshold
you wero alone, papa."
"I don't know that Jane cares for mm.
but befllde his tltlo they say he has In
herited a very considerable estate from
his father, and It might not be strange,
If he finally won her, unless" and Can
ler paused. . ,
"It Is only I. Jane," said Canler, who
had risen, "won't you come In and Join
tho famllv group? We were Just speak
ing of you."
"Thank you," said Jano Porter, enter
ing nnd taking tho chair Canler placed
for her. "I only wanted to tell papa that
Tobey Is coming down from tho collcgo
tomurrow to pack his books. I want you
to he sure, papa, to Indlcato all that you
can do without until fall. PIcnso don t
carry this entire library to Wisconsin, as
you would havo carried It to Africa, If I
had not put my foot down."
"Was Tobey hero?" asked Professor
Porter. .
"Yes, I Just left him. Ho and Esmor
nldn urn exchanging religious experiences
on tho back porch now."
"Tut tut, I must seo him at once!
cried tho professor. "Kxcuse mo Just it
moment, children," and tho old man
hastened from the room.
An soon as he was out of earshot Can
ler turned to Jane Porter.
"See here, Jane," ho said bluntly.
"How long Is this thing going on like
this?
"You haven't refused to marry me, but
you haven't promised, cither.
"I want to get the license tomorrow, so
that wp can bo married quietly before you
leave for Wisconsin. I don't care for any
fuss or feathers, and I'm Buro you don't,
either."
Tho girl turned cold, but she held her
head bravely.
"Your father wishes It, you know,"
added Canler.
"Yes, I know."
She spoke scarcely above a whisper.
"Do you realize that you aro buying
me, Mr. Canler?" sho said finally, and In
a cold, level voice. "Buying mo for a fow
paltry dollars7 Of course you do, IJobert
Canler, and tho hope of Just such a con
tingency was In your mind when you
loaned papa the money for that hair
brained escapade, which but for a most
mysterious circumstance would have been
surprisingly successful.
"But you, Mr. Canler, would have been
the most surprised. You had no Idea that
tho venture would succeed. You are too
good a business man for that. And ou
are too good a business man to loan
money for burled treasure seeking, or
to loan money without security unless
you had some special object In view.
' lou knew that without security you
had a greater hold on the honor of the
Porters than with It. You knew tho ono
best way to forco mo to marry you, with
out seeming to force me.
"You have never mentioned tho loan.
In any other man I should havo thought
that the prompting of a magnanimous
and noble character. But you are deep,
Mr. Robert Canler. I know you better
than you think I know you.
"I shall certainly marry you If there
la no other way, but let us understand
each other once and for all."
While she spoke Robert Canler had
alternately flushed and paled, and when
she ceased speaking he arose, and with a
cynical smile upon his strong face, Bald:
"You surprise me, Jane. I thought
you had more self-control more pride,
"Of course you aro right I am buy
ing you, and I knew that you knew It,
but I thought you would prefer to pre
tend that It was otherwise. I should
have thought your self-respect and your
Porter pride would have shrunk from
admitting, even to yourself, that you
were a bought woman.
"But have It your own way, dear girl,"
he added lightly. "I am going to have
you, and that Is all tnat Interests m
"Without a word the girl turned and left
the room.
Jane Porter was not married before she
left with her father and Esmeralda for
her little Wisconsin farm, and as she
coldly bid Robert Canler goodby as her
train pulled out, he called to her that
he would Join them in a week or two.
At their destination they wero met by
Clayton and Mr. Philander In a huge
touring car belonging to the former, and
quickly whirled away through the dense
northern woods toward the little farm
which the girl had not "visited before
since childhood.
The farmhouse, which stood on a little
elevation some hundred yards from the
tenant house, had undergone a complete
transformation during the three weeks
that Clayton and Mr. Philander had been
there.
The former had Imported a email army
of carpenters and plasterers, plumbers
and painters from a distant city, and
What had been but a dilapidated shell
when they reached It was now a cosy
little two-story house filled with evtry
modern convenience procurable In bo
short a time.
"Why, Mr. Clayton, what have you
doner cried Jane Fbrter, her iheart
sinking within her as she realized the
Crobable slie of the expenditure that had
een made,
"3-sh," cautioned Clayton. "Don't let
your father guess. It you don't tell
him he will never notice, and I simply
eouldn't think of him living in the ter
rible squalor and sordidness whjeh Mr.
Philander and I found. It was so little
when I would do so much, Jane. For
his sake, please, never mention it"
"But you know thut we oan't repay
you," cried the girl. "Why do you want
to put me under such terrible obliga
tions?" "Don't, Jane," said Clayton sadly "if
It had been Just you, believe me, I
wouldn't have done it, for I knew from
the start that it would wly hurt me la
your eye, but I eouldn't tUok j that
dear oM man living la lite hole We
found her.
"Won't you please believe that I did
iut for him and give ma that Utile
crumb of pleasure at taut?"
"J do believe you, Mr Clayton," ai4
EVENING T.EDflEB-PHILADELPHlA, TUESDAY, JUNE IB. 1915;
the girl, "because I know you nro big
enough and generous enough to have done
It Just for him and, oh Cecil, I wish Jt
might repay you as you deserve as you
would wish."
"Why can't you, Jane?"
"Because I love another."
"Canler?"
"No."
"But you are going to marry him. He
told me as much before I left Baltimore."
Tho girl winced.,
"I do not love him," she said, almost
proudlv.
"Is It because of the money, Jane?"
She nodded.
"Then am I bo much less desirable than
Canler? I have meney enough, and far
more, for ovcry neeV he said bitterly.
"I do not love you, Cecil," she said, "but
I respect you. If I must disgrace myself
by such a bargain with any man, I prefer
that It be one I alrctdy despise. I should
loatho the man to whom I sold myself
without love, whotmoever he might be.
"You will be haprler," she concluded,
"alone with my respect nnd friendship,
than with mo and my contempt."
Ho did not press tho matter further, but
If ever a man had murder In hla heart it
was William Cecil Clayton, Lord Clroy
stoke, when, a week later, Robert Canler
drew up before tho farmhouse lu his
purring slx-cyllnder.
A week passed, a tense, uneventful, but
uncomfortablo week for all thfc Inmates
of tho little Wisconsin farmhouse.
Canler was Insistent that Jano marry
him at once.
At length she gave In from sheer loath
ing of tho continued nnd hateful Im
portuning. It was agreed that on tho morrow
Canler was to drive to town nnd bring
back the license and n minister.
Clayton hnd wonted to leave as soon as
tho plan was announced, but the girl's
tired, hopeless look kept him. Ho could
not desert her.
Something might happen yet, he tried to
console himself by thinking. And in his
heart ho knew that It would require but
a tiny spark to turn his hatred for Canler
Into the blood lust of the killer.
Karly the next morning Canler set out
for town
In tho east nmoko could be seen lying
low over tho forest, for a fire had been
raging for a week not far from them,
but tho wind still lay in tho west nnd no
danger threatened them.
About noon Jnno Porter started off for
a wnlk. She would not let Clayton ac
company her. She wanted to bo alone,
sho said, and ho respected her wishes.
In the house Professor Porter and Mr.
Philander wero Immersed in an absorbing
discussion of some weighty scientific
problem. Ksmcrtilda dozed In the kit
chen, nnd Clayton, heavy-eyed after a
sleepless night, threw himself down upon
tho couch In tho living room and soon
dropped Into a fitful slumber.
To the cast the black smoke clouds roso
higher Into the heavens. Suddenly they
eddied, and then commenced to drift
rapidly toward tho west.
On and on they came. Tho inmates
of tho tenant house were gone, for It
was market day, nnd none thero was to
see tho rapid approach of the llery de
mon. Soon the flames had spanned tho road
to tho south and cut oft Canler s return.
A little fluctuation of the wind now car
ried the path of the forest flro to the
north, then blew back and the flames
nearly stood still as though held In lcasn
by somo master hand.
Suddenly, out of the northeast, a great
black car came careening down the road.
With a Jolt It stopped before the cot
tage, and black-haired giant leaped
out to run up on to the porch. Without
n pause he rushed Into the house. On
the couch lay Clayton. Tho man started
In FUrprlsc, but with u bound was at
tho side of the sleeping man.
Shaking him roughly by tho shouldei,
he cried:
"My God, Clayton, nre you all mad
here? Don't you know you are nearly
surrounded by Arc? Where Is Miss
Porter?
Clayton sprang to hln feet. He did not
recognize the man, but he understood the
words and was upon the veranda In a
bound.
"Scott!" he cried, and then, dashing
back Into the house, "Jnnel Jane! where
aro you?"
In an Instant Esmeralda, Professor
Porter and Mr. Phllnnder had Joined tho
iwo men.
"Where Is Miss Jane?" cried Clayton,
seizing Esmeralda by tho shoulders and
shaking her roughly.
"Oh, Gaberelle, Marse" Clayton, she
done gone for a walk."
"Hasn't she come back yet7" and,
without waiting for a reply, Clayton
dashed out Into the yard, followed by
the others.
"Which way did she go?" cried the
black-haired giant of Esmeralda.
"Down dat road," cried tho frightened
black, pointing toward the south, where
a mighty wall of roaring flames shut out
the view.
"Put these people In the other car,"
tshouted the stranger to Clayton. "I
saw one ns I drove up and get them
out of here by the north road.
"Leave my car hero. If I find Miss
Porter we shall need It. If I don't, no
one will need It Do as I say," as Claytou
hesitated, and then they saw the lithe
figure bound away across the clearing
toward the northwest where the forest
still stood, untouched by flame.
In each rose the unaccountable feeling
that a great responsibility had been raised
from their shoulders: a kind of imniicit
confidence In the power of the stranger
to save Jane Porter If she could be saved.
"Who was that?" asked Professor Por
ter. "I do not know," replied Clayton. "He
called me by name and he knew Jane,
for he asked for her. And he called Es
meralda by name,"
"There was something moat startllngly
familiar about him," exclaimed Mr. Phil
ander, "and yet, bless me, I know I never
saw him before."
"Tut-tut!" cr(ed Professor Porter.
"Moat remarkable! Who could It have
been, and why do r feel that Jane Is safe
now that he has set out In search of
her?y
"I can't tell you, professor," said Clay
ton soberly, "but I know I have the same
uncanny feeling."
"But, come," he cried, "we must get out
of here ourselves or we shall be shut off,"
and the party hastened toward Clayton's
machine.
When Jane Porter turned to retrace her
steps homeward she was alarmed to note
how near the smoke of the forest fire
seemed, and as she hastened onward her
alarm became almost a panic when she
perceived that the rushing flames were
rapidly forcing their way between herself
and the pottage.
At length she was compelled to turn
Into the dense thicket and attempt to
force hr way to the west In an effort to
ciroie around the flames and regain her
home.
In a short time the futility of her at
tempt became apparent, and then her one
hope lay In retracing her steps to the road
and flying for her life to the Bouth, to
ward the town.
The 30 minutes that It took her to re
gain the road was all that had been
needed to ut off her retreat as effectu
ally as her advance bad been cut off
"before.
A short run down the road "brought her
to a Jwwi4 stand, for there before her
was another wall of flam: An arm of
the parent eoaflaarattoa had shot out a
half-mile south of Its auUe to embrace
this tiny strip of road la Its implacable
clutche
Jaue Porter knew tnat it
ngaln to attempt to force her way through
the undergrowth.
She hnd tried It once and failed. Now
she realized that It would be but ft mat
ter of minutes ere the whole space be
tween the enemy on the north and I uie
enemy on the south would be a seething
of billowing flames.
Calmly the girl kneeled down In th
dust of the roadway and prayed to her
Maker to give her strength to meet her
fate bravely and to deliver her father
and friends from death. ,
She did not think to pray for deliverance
for herself; for she knew there was no
hope not even Ood could savo her now.
Suddenly she heard her name being
called aloud through the forcsti
"Jane! Jano Porter!" It rang strong
and clear, but In n strange voice.
"Here!" she called in reply, "iierei
In the roadway!"
Then through the branches of the trees
she saw a figure swinging with the speed
of a squirrel.
A veering of the wind blew n cloud of
smoke about them and she could no
longer see the man who was speeding
toward her, but suddenly she felt n. great
arm about her. Then she was lifted tip,
and sho felt tho rushing of the wind nnd
tho occasional brush of a branch as she
was borne along.
Sho opened her eyes
Far below her lay tho undergrowth and
the hnrd earth.
About her was tho waving foliage of tho
forest. From trco to tree swung tha
giant figure which boro her, and It seemed
to Jane Porter that sho was living over In
a dream tho experience that had been
hers In that far African Jungle.
Oh, If It were but the samo man who
1 had homo her so swiftly through tho
tangled verdure on that other day: but
that wero Impossible. Tot who else In tho
world wna thero with the strength nnd
agility to do whnt this man was now
doing?
Sho stolo a sudden Blanco at' tho faco
close to herB, nnd then sho gave a little
frightened gasp It was hel
"My mnnl" sho murmured. "No, It la
the delirium which precedes death."
Sho must have spoken out aloud, for tho
eyes that bent occaclonally to hers
lighted with n smile.
"Yes, your man, Jano Porter: your sav
age, primeval man como out of the Junglo
to claim his mate the woman who rait
away from him," he added almost
fiercely.
"I did not run away," she whispered.
"I would only consont to leave when they
had waited a week for you to return."
They had como to n point beyond the
fire now, and ho had turned back to tho
clearing.
Side by side they were walking toward
the cottage. The wind had changed once
more and the firo was burning back upon
tsclf another hour like that and It would
bo burned out.
"Why did you not return?" she asked.
"I was nursing D'Arnot. Ho was badly
wounded."
"Ah, I knew HI" she exclaimed.
"They said you had gono to Join tho
blacks thut they wero your people."
He laughed.
"But you did not believe them, Jane?"
"No. What shall I call you?" she
nBked. "What Is your name?"
"I was Tarzan of the Apes when you
first know me," he said.
"Tarzan of the Apes!" she cried. "And
that was your note I answered when I
left?"
"Yea: whoso did you think It was?"
"I did not know; only that It could
not be yours, for Tarzan of tho Apes
had written in English, and you could
not understand a word of any language."
Again ho laughed.
"It Is a long Btory, but It was I who
wrote whnt I could not speak; and now
D'Arnot has made matters worso by
teaching me to speak French Instead of
English."
"Come," ho said, "jump Into my car.
We must overtake your father; they are
only n little way ahead."
As they drove along ho said:
"Then when you said In your note to
Tarzan of the Apes that you loved an
otheryou might have meant me?"
"I might have," she answered, simply.
"But In Baltimore oh, how I have
searched for you they told mo you would
possibly bo married by now. That a
man named Canler had come up hero to
wed you. Is that true?"
"Yes."
"Do you love him?"
"No."
"Do you love me?"
She burled her face In her hands.
"I am promised to another. I cannot
answer you, Tarzan of the Apes," she
cried.
"You have answered. Now, tell we
why you would marry one you do not
love."
"My father owes him monnv."
Suddenly there came back to Tarzan
the memory of the letter ho had read,
and the name Robert Canler nnd tho
hinted trouble which he had been unable
to understand then.
He smiled.
"If your father had not lost the treas
ure you would not feel forced to keep
your promise to this man Canler?"
"I would ask him to release me."
"And If he refused7"
"I have given my promise."
He was silent for a moment. The car
was plunging along the uneven road at
n reckless pace, for the flre Bhowed
threateningly at their right, and another
change of the wind might sweep It on
with raging tury across this one avenue
of escape.
Finally they passed the danger point.
.... """ rcuuuea ineir speed.
'Suppose I should ask him?"
Tarzan.
ventured
He would scarcely accede to the de
mand of a stranger," said the girl. "Ea
peclally one who wanted me himself."
"Terkoz did," snld Tarzan, grimly.
Jane Porter shuddered and looked fear
fully up at tho giant figure beside her,
for she knew that he meant the great
anthropoid he had killed In her defense.
"This is not an African Jungle," she
said. You nro no longer a savage beast
You are a gentleman, and gentlemen do
not kill In cold blood."
"I am still a wild beast at heart," he
said, In a low voice, as-though to him
self. Again they were silent for a time.
"Jane Porter." said the man, at length.
"If you were free, would you marry meT"
She did not reply at once, but he
waited patiently.
The girl was trying to collect her
thoughts.
What did she know of this strange
creature at her side? What did he know
of himself7 Who was he? Who his
parents?
Why. his very name echoed his mysteri
ous origin and his savage life.
He had no name. Could she .be happy
with this Jungle walfT Could she find
anything In common with a husband
Whose life had been spent In tree tops of
an African wilderness, frolicking and
fighting with fierce anthropoids, tearing
his food from the quivering flank of
fresh-killed prey, sinking his strong teeth
Into raw fish, and tearing away his por
tion while bis mates growled and fought
about blm for their share?
Could he ever rUe to her social sphere?
Could she bear to think of sinking to his?
Would either be happy in such a horrible
misalliance?
"You do not love me, then?" he asked
"you shrink from wounding me? '

PLAN NAVAL REVIEW
FOR COT ON FOURTH
Secretary Daniels Instructs Ad
miral Benson to Send as
Many Ships as Possible.
This city may be treated to n, miniature
naval review on the Delaware on July
6th In connection with the national
Fourth celebration ns a result of the
co-operation which Is being shown In
Wnnhlnirton concerning tho event.
Secretary Daniels today Instructed Ad
miral W. S. Benson, Chief of Naval Op
ritlon. to 'send as many battleships as
possible to Philadelphia on July 6th, nnd
It Is believed that with those at the Navy
Yard there will bo at least a dozen of
Uncle Sam's fighters In the stream, dec
orated In keeping with the occasion. Ad
miral Benson conferred with the Gen
eral Board to determine Just how many
ships could be sent.
It was learned that Secretary of the
Interior Franklin K. Lano could not rep
resent tho nation as principal speaker
at tho Independence Hall ceremonies, and
It Is probable that Beciotary of War
Llndley M. Garrison will deliver the prin
cipal address.
A special Invitation to attend tho na
tional Fourth of July celebration here
will bo framed today for Henry Ford,
tho nutomoblle manufacturer, and a spe
cial messenger will tnko It to him per
sonally. This action was decided on yes
terday on motion of Edward Bok, of tha
State Fourth of July Commission, at Its
meeting In the Hotel Adclphla, This
somewhat unusual procedure was decided
upon because of Mr. Ford's reluctance to
attend public functions. Tho manufne
turor Is a personal friend of Governor
Brumbaugh. Invitations also will bo sent
to Thomas A. Edison nnd other promi
nent Americans of achievement
The commission decided that no liquor
would be provided at tho banquet July 3
nt the expense of tho State.
Although few of tho Governors Invited
wilt bo ablo to attend bocauso of pre
vious engagements, tho disappointment of
their absence will bo lessened by the pres
ence of many prominent guests who fig
ure In tho nation's progress.
Tho Reconstructed Fourth of July Com
mittee, which has $7600 of clty-appolnted
funds to distribute, among- 63 separata
neighborhoods to finance games and con
tests In tho Interests of a "safe nnd sano
Fourth," needs more funds.
It Is expected Mayor Blankenburg will
ask Councils In a message, Thursday, to
appropriate $1605 additional to that com
mittee. Common Councilman Robert
Smith, of tho 36th Wnrd, Is chairman of
the body that Is composed mainly of
private citizens. Ho and E. J. Laftorty
called on Director Porter, of the De
partment of Public Safety, to confer on
enforcement of tho laws governing the
uso and sale of fireworks.
Chairman Smith later snld the call had
been made at the request of Director
Porter, and that he could not understand
why they should not rather havo con
ferred with the City Solicitor on tho
matter.
"Wo are only concerned In a safe and
sane observance of the day," ho said.
"Not one cent of our money Is to be
spent for fireworks. That has been made
emphatic to the committee. There has
been no occasion for Director Porter or
Superintendent of Police Robinson to de
lay Issuing fireworks orders Just to hear
what wo, or private citizens, had to
say."
BOY SCOUTS TO FORM
HUMAN LIBERTY BELL
Flag Formed by Girls Will Be
Another Feature in Fourth
of July Fete.
A human Liberty Bell, formed by Boy
Scouts, and n number of other surprises
will be provided at the triple Fourth of
July celebration which will be held by
Burholme, Lawndale and Crescentvllle.
Arangements have been made to give
these communities a national reputation
through moving pictures which will be
made of the event. Plans for the cele
bration were made last night at a meet
ing in Sack's Hall of the Improvement
associations representing the sections,
and the co-operation of all three com
munities will make this one of the larg
est neighborhood events of the Fourth.
The program Is being arranged under
the direction of Charles J. Kraus, who is
the originator of the Liberty Bell Idea,
He proposed to construct It on Gaulbert's
Field. He will uso several hundred boy
scouts In the feat and a corps of buglers
and a band will add to the patriotic Bplrlt.
A human flag composed of school girls
will be formed on the field adjoining the
bell. Moving pictures of both will be
taken and shown at Keith's Bijou Theatre
before being displayed throughout the
country.
Preceding the formation of tho bell nnd
flag, there will be a parade of school chil
dren and local organizations through the
principal streets of the three communities
Several speakers. Including Assistant
District Attorney Joseph P. Rogers, and
John R. McLean, have been Invited to
address the people at the official cere
monies. BEER DRINKING SHOWS

Vaudeville
It's a hard Job to mako people laugh,
especially In this kind of weather. Then,
too, an nutllenco Is made up for so many
different temperaments. There's the nie
chanlo and tho bank president, the mes
senger boy nnd tho college professor, tho
lover nnd tho grouch and tho vaudeville
performer must make them nil laugh to
gether or It don't count.
But regardless of this task nnd the tem
perature. John Hymns nnd Leila Moln
tyre got away with It In good order last
night nt Keith's. Mr. Hyams used some
clover strategy In his Bklt, which Is called
"Tho Quakoress," by making Miss Mcln
tyre do most of tho work. Ho got a
laugh whenever he wated It by winking
an cyo or "pulllnB a mug." His quiet,
ministerial way of working made one
feel cool, but If this weather continues, It
is highly probable that Miss Mclntyre will
discover his llttlo scheme. Toward tho
end of tho net Mr. Hyams evidently be-
n.in.irlcken nnd danced.
But the combination broke all Previous
hit records and they wero kopt bowing
and specchmaklng for some tlmo after
their act was completed.
A closo second for honors was Lady
Sen Mel, a Chlncso singer nnd comedi
enne Sho satiK songs of the Orient and
also of America In excellent voice, which
was accompanied by a magnetic Person
ality. Miss Sen Mel showed too that sho
was anxious to please and was rewarded
with much applause.
Ten vigorous dancers, who Introduced
somo brand-new Ideas In this line, were
seen In W. Horollk's "In thtf Gipsy
Camp," and they defied all Ideas of
toinperaturo in a strenuous act, which
went over with a rush.
Thero wero many other good things on
tho bill, Including Diamond and Brennan,
who presented some nonsenso In artistic
style; Hal stepnens, in a picturesque on
of famous plays; Herman Tlmberg, who
danced and sang nnd played as of yore;
n Burton Holmes Cruise to Rio Janeiro;
the Four Janlcys and Dupree and Dupree,
In a wonderful cycling act. Tho latest
news Is seen In the pictures.
Here and There
The Internal troubles of vaudeville folk
are brought out forcibly In "The New
Leader," tho headline sketch at tho Nixon
Grand, which was presented by Al Lewis
and comoany. In addition to good com
edy there is a good supply of music and
dancing.
Howard Chase and company' In the
sketch "Where Ignorance is bliss" pro
vided laughs and surprises and were
much appreciated. Manuel Romaln sang
the latest songB In pleasing voice and was
rewarded with abundant applause.
Queenle Duncdln proved that sho was a
versatile artist, while the Rolandow
Brothers, expert equilibrists, performed
a number of amazing feats. The Harri
son West Trio was also on the bill. The
pictures are up to tho minute.
Melodies of the Orient mingled with
those of the United States In the Merry
Maids of Japan, the headline attraction
at the Cross Keys. The costumes and
scenery gave correct environment to tho
production. It was presented by a ca
pable cast.
The Cadets De Gascogne presented a
novel act which won Immediate favor.
Cook and Lorenz entertained with witty
talk and novel antics. "Her First Case"
proved to be an interesting sketch. Many
thrills were supplied by tho Piclannl
Troupe of Acrobats, while the Italian
Maids showed that they were clever musi
cians. Plenty of fun was supplied In the pic
tures, which were along up-to-date lines.
Woodslde Park
A "Chicago Show" Is a "Chicago
Show," even when It has grown as old
as "Tho Time, the Place and the Girl"
and Is revived out at the new Woodslde
Park Theatre ns a week's entertainment
In stock. The usual mixture of sentiment
and humor, the usual lively muslo and
the usual Btill more lively, almost Irre
pressible chorus work; they were all pres
ent at the little theatre yesterday. Just
