It' was Indeed some achievement to divert
the amusement loxcrs to tho Academy.
Tlmt they wero well plc.tsnl with tho
Investment wis ehown by the ovation ten
dsred tho Rifted entertainer Shu offered
a repertoire from (-oiikI.ukI which w.'is
probably the best she h:m ien Kiven the
Philadelphia public. Comedy and rnnianco
were dellffhtfully blended in Mlis H.uoa'
selections, nnd there weto some excellent
character studies by way of good incisure.
One of her best numbers 1m "HelKho. It
Will ler Ho So," which unfolds a mnry
with a morHl nnd Is plentifully bprlnklod
nlth punch lines.
"If Paul Itovere Had Been Paulino Ite.
vere," "I Hot the Old Maid Hlues" and "Pin
Trying Po Hard to bo UnKllsh" had founda
tions of appealing philosophy and were
punctuated with epigrams. "The ltomanco
of the nobln nnd the Itose," n decided con
trast with tho other nongs, told n pretty
ttory with a strong object lesion.
Miss Hayes appeared twico on tho tiro
pram, Hist alone and later with Irving
Fisher In several songs In keeping with tho
tplrlt of tho day. Thomas Orls-cl was the
aciompanlt-t His playing was at nil times
harmonious echoes of tho compos-eta'
thoughts.
There were tiweral otlnr good acts on
lh bill Next to Mtes Hayes, the honors
went to Stono and McAvoy, a Philadelphia
pair who wero billed as the "Uiu.uluuy
Bos." They aroused no end of laughs
which alternated with good songs This
team has nil tho assets for leal upper-i lass
vaudeville and nro much feuperlor to many
who are featured on tho "tvvo-a-dny."
And then thero wero Dunbar and Turner,
who offered what Is technically termed a
"nut" act Hut-there is quality In the "nut
osophy" of theso nlitologlsts They belong
exclusively In tho best brand of vaudeville.
In addition to their crazlsms they sing and
dance comuiendably and arc distinctly orig
inal. They scored heavily.
Haley and Noble offered an original com
edy act, and tho Da) ton troupo of aciobats,
twelve of them, gave tho show a clav.sy
start This Is undoubtedly ono of the very
best acrobatic nets In vaudeville.

tempting to save a companion, Victor
Snartz, twelve years old, who had broken
through tho thin Ice on a mill dam In tho
Cocalico Creek Into yesterday afternoon,
Lester Good, ten years old, was dragged
Into deep water by his struggling friend,
and both were drowned. They lived In
Beamstovv n.
Their bodies were recovered after a woman
who saw tho boys go down had spread
the alarm. Tho younger companion mads
a desperate fight to savo his friend, accord
ing to a statement made by tho woman
who saw them disappear beneath tho sur
face of tho water clasped In each others
arms. Several times tho would-bo rescuer
almost managed to pull himself and his
burden on to the Ice, but each time It
crumbled under the strain and tho boys fell
back Into tho water.
A boy scout was ono of tho first to hear
of the tragedy, and ho hurriedly summoned
his comrades and dispatched them to spread
16 alarm through tho borough that was
more quiet than usual becausn nf the holi
day. Men nrmed with hooks and rakes
wero soon on the scene. The body of the
uooa boy was tho first to bo brought to
the surface.

Phli girl mimed Ollvo May Wilson saw a
little boy trying on tho street and nsked
him what the trouble was. He was crying
';w',,",'e ho wasn't going to get a valentine
So sbe found out his name nnd where he
lived and sent him one Then she got to
wondering if she couldn't send some Christ
inas presents to little friendless boys nnd
girls
As a result of that thought Christina
presents will be sent this enr hv (. live May
"INott sho Is now Mrs lllrchnll Hammer,

nianv? Will, between SO.OOO and 7B.0001
This army of children know Mrs llnnv
mr only as "the Santa Clau-t lllrl " The
letters scrawled In ihlldlsh handwriting
which have poured In upon "the Santa
Claus lllrl" hnvo made a pile lll.o u moun

whole range of mountains before Christmas
l.ach child s plea for a Christmas gift is In
vestigated by some ilmrltnblc organisation
lively poor hlld vvhn deserves a gift will
get one. if "the Santa Claus dlrl" has her
Way.
'I lie presents will go to children In all
pails of tho I'nlled Stales. So Llg Is the
Job that "the S'anta claus C.lrl" wilt begin
to wrap and pack tho presents tomorrow,
almost a mouth before Christmas.
Ilundieds of persons and hundreds of
business llrms are helping "the S'anta Claus
fllrl" to get tho So.uiMl or 75,00(1 presents
which will be needed to make sure that
no poor little boy or girl goes without sunn
Christmas cheer. The vice president nf
the United Slates, Thomas II. Marshall .
llMernor Ilrumbaugh, of Pennsvlvnnla and
scores of prominent persons havo sent en
couragement to "tho Santa Claus i!lrl"
Hundreds of motion-picture actors nnd
actreses, Including sm h stars as Dougl is
Pali banks. Ullllc Ilurke, Pauline Kredirlck
Charlie Chiipllu and Marguerite Clark
have contributed to tho constantly grow
ing collection of gifts
'The war nnd Its demand for contribu
tions of nil sorts doesn't seem to have af
fected the generosity of those who con
tribute to this Christmas fund in tho lenst
said 'tho Santa Claus Girl" today. The
gifts have been more lavish than they were
last year. The sugar shcrtaBe hasn't
seemed to affect the contributions of candy.
Hvervbody seems to bcllevo that poor little
children ought to have a little candy at
Christmas, oven If they themselves cat less
sugar.
"The great necessity this jcar Is for
postage stamps nnd toys. Wo shall not
send out nny toys that wero mndo In Her
man), nnd we shall need thousands more
oi American manufacture. As for postage
stamps, tho Increased Kslal rates have
made It necessary to spend a great deal
more In sending theso packages."
With the coming winter and Its accompany.
Ing misery for the poor and destitute lc
tlm of tuberculosis, the Doraen Society Is
resolved to redoublo Its activities and there
by add a new chapter to Its clRht ears of
charitable endeavor. Tho entire proceeds
