NO MORE FREE USE OF CITY PROPERTY Municipal Rent Income In creases 200 Per Cent Through Reorganization of Bureau As a result of the recent reorganiza tion of the real estate division of the Bureau of City Property, the Income of the city In rentals from property has Increased, 200 per cent, nnd many of those who are occupjing tlt -owned property free will pay rent In the future and .also arrearages. The reorganization was effected by Director Datesman and Chief Arthur and resulted In a. thorough Investigation of all property owned by the city and fit for rental. Some of the facts which were unearthed In consequence of the Investigation were surprising. It was learned that there were pcr Bons occupying city-owned property, such as houses which had been transferred to the city prepartory to demolition for some public Improvement, who were en Joying these domiciles without any ex- ' pense as to rent. , Many of such cases were discovered .twlthln the block bounded by Tenth, Lombard, Eleventh and Hodman streets in the Seventh Ward, a plot which has been taken over by the city for the de velopment of a recreation center. Rim. liar cases were found within the plot pounaea Dy Front, Allen and Hope streets, another section taken for rec- ireatlori purposes Simitar conditions ..were found to prevail in city-owned property which was tnkeu over bv ihe city for the opening of Delaware ave- . nue rrom rairmount avenue to Laurel 1 utreet, and cases of a like character were found In other parts of the city. Chief Arthur, acting with Superin tendent Marshall, who Is In charge of tha real estate division, proceeded not only to collect the rents from the occu pants of these properties, but likewise arrearages, and In a few capes where all the arrearages were not paid, pi 'rector Datesman has enlisted the m- S operation of City Solicitor Connelly, who Jwllt proceed legally to obtain the money ,-wpicn uue ine cuy. in several oi t;he casea where the City Solicitor has already served notice prompt settle ment has been made and In the few similar cases now remaining this Is probably the course which will be taken kfi'the tenants.

He was telling me last night that he would never have had the chance to get Into the advertis ing concern he Is with If he hadn't attended advertising classes In a Boston university. "I would like to do that," I told him: ' but, of course, I can't. I'm tied up late at night with that darned old store. Be sides, I expected to be working at nlRhtn." Mike came over and put his hand on the top of my head. I said, "What's the Idea?" Oh, I was Just feeling for the roft spot, that's all All right." says I. "Just wait a bit and I II show ou a soft spot or two. I've Just been appointed exclusive agent In this territory for the Alabama Folding Bath." "Alabama what?' nsked Alwln "Alabama Folding Bath," I repeated sheepishly. "What the devil Is thatT" I showed them the folder explaining It. "Who do vou think wants a thing like that around here? Pretty nearly every house In Walton has a bath already fixed. In It." said Alwln. , Oh. I guess1 there's a lot who haven t particularly In the Berrvdale sections" "Ves. but do jou think the people down there have the money to buy one of those contraptions?" "Well, anyhow, I'm going to try It out," I said In tho morning I had had a letter from them accepting my offer, and they had said they were sending mr the folding bath by express They advised me, however, not to wait till the bathtub came, but to show their dope to my friends and I would probably sell one before even seeing the Kample. They gave mo one good pointer about the tub being Ideal for a summer camp, so that every one Is a prospect for a bathtub. Well, Mike and Alwln talked about my pgency for a while nnd I extracted from Mike a promise that he wouldn't tell the old man about It. Of course, I know my time Is mv own at night, but somehow I didn't want the old man or Mrs Mlpton to know about the agency. ' Coming back to this study business," said Alwln, 'If you can't go to Boston, there nrp some pretty good classes here In tho Walton Y. M. C A. Why don't jou jdln that?' "Aw, not for mine." I said, "I don't .want to be tied up with a bunch of sissies. When I Join a club I want to Join a man's club " "? am a member." said Alwln, "and I'm going down there now. Put on your coat." After some protest, Mike and I went with him to visit the Y. M. C. A. "Hadn't we better stop and have a Y. M. C. A. cocktail before we go down?" I eneered. They asked what It was and I said. "A glass of milk with a prune In It." but somehow they didn't laugh. My JoUe went flat. Before We left the Y M. C. A. I had quite it different opinion of It. We went down Into the gymnasium for a while and I never saw such a bunch of huskies In my life. Alwln arked me If I didn't want to put on the gloves with some of the "sissies" there. "I guess not, Alwln. Do ou know I never realized there was such a bunch of fino MIows here? I guess I'll Join." "You mean If they'll let ou, of course," savs Alwln. That I might not get In bad never oc curred to me. I asked Alwln If he would vouch for me, and he said he would. Wo went to the secretnr' ofllce and I Joined there nnd then The secretary told me there was a new course In accounting that was jVTst starting that week. But 7 told him I couldn't posslhly Join, as I had something on every r.Jht." mslCAL iUC LrabOEllr-PHlLADBlStA, n6SDA &IAlk 14, 1018 ' lilllM FARCE, "DANCE REVIEW mGSRM&i 4,SEE YOU LATER" IS GAY AND MELODIOUS TODAY'S 1UJMM-: What does this mean SK LI'KlllWl an to vou? j Business Questions Answered Kindly adit how to market new tine of sii.

Drlscoll to recover JHO.000 commissions on the sale of a steel plant at Wilmington to the Mid vale Ordnance Corporation was non suited by Judge Audenrled, In Court of Common Pleas No 4. today The plaintiffs failed to show that their negotiations had been with the corpora tion which took over the works.

Subsequently the Mldvale Steel and Ordnance Company, a new corpora tion, purchased the Wilmington works lor 1960,000. It was pointed out by the defendant that the Sullivan concern dealt with the Mldvale Steel works and not the ordnance corporation, which bought out the steel works, now known as the Wil mington Steel Company, TODAY'S MARRIAGE LICENSES (Other llceniea on pare 0) XlrholaaNeols, SIX Schuylkill ave. and Elisabeth Dlion. 232a St. Alcana at Arthur E1 Ball.

V V The next da. Act lit "The Chateau." Same night. Vivacious farcical Intrigue, tuneful airs, attractive staging and an unusually competent delegation of mate funmakers lend distinction to this enlivening "sum mer show " The cheery nonchalance of the title carries a hint of prophecy. "See You Later" is likely to be the mental resolution of not a few patrons of this new musical comedy. The piece, with Its sprightly foolery and engaging melo dies, will easily repay a second visit to the A'delphl. Thoce return trips will be still further warranted when the management Irons out the rough places ntwavs obvious at the metropolitan premiere of a brand new musical play. Condensation Is the prime need now, for the offering ran until 11:20 last evening. With Judicious cutting and a tightening of the farcical motives In the now somewhat confused climax to Act It. the production should rank as one, of the beat of Its class dis closed here this jear. Terhaps the mot welcome feature of Its success Is the excellent libretto, dis tantly derived from tho rather spicy French farce given In Hngllsh several Reasons ago under the title, "The Olrl From Hector's " Cluy Bolton has devel oped this material with freedom, taste and JubI enough piquancy to be delecta ble. The basis of the 'comic conception Is the masquerade of a "small-town" girl who poses at home as a cabaret "missfoniry." She neither wins nor seeks to make converts, but she does at tract a host of ray admirers, who be come Involved In some pretty pickles as the facts of their hilarious dissipation nre levenlcd Br'ght lines nhound, nnd In even greater profusion than In 'Oh. Bov," of whose 'book" Mr. Bolton Is nlso the author Mr. Wodehouse has supplied some crisp and swinging lyrics, and the score by Jean Schwartz nnd Wllllnm F". Peters Is of a haunting tunefulness adorned by clever orchestration. Oddly enough for a musical farce, the feminine contingent Is here or tuniewhat secondary quality. Mabel McCane's cafe queen Is zestfully presented, but better Incumbents of this role nre conceivable. Marie Flnn as the very Innocent In genue lacks charm. But these deficiencies are subordinated In the wealth of breezy foolery exploited by such expert come dians as husky and corpulent Herbert Corthcl. nimble and Ingratiating Charles Ruggles, dellclouR f.tnest Torrence, whose Scotch characterization is a gem; John Dalv Murphy, whoee portrait of a crusty "kill-Joy" Is accented with keen comic sense, and Jed Prouty, who was highly amusing as a guileless husband. In the hands of these efficient plavera the humorous Impetus of the pitce Is seldom relaxed. Among the song hits last night were "I Never Knew," the novel trio "Nerves" the Ollbertlan number "Young Man, You'll Do," "I'm (tolng to Settle Down" and "I Want to Dance." a lively "raggy'1 affair In which the loose-Jointed antics of Tot Qualtera savorcit of the almost forgotten grotesquerle nnd high-Kicking of the once-celebrated Lottie Collins H.

The prlsoers were captured in ,n raid on an alleged gambling house at 81S CathaTlne street. William WllUs, al leged proprietor of the place, wt held In $600 bait for court. The others were fined' JO and costs. David Malls, who represented the nrls oners, said the place raided vvajr the headquarters of the Willis Athletic Club, which has a. charter and Is a bona fide organization. He said the raid was a political frame-up, because the club was known as an antl-Vare organization. Sergeant McCarrlck, of the faecond and Christian streets police station, who con ducted the raid, said the place was equipped with electric buttons to signal the arrival of the police to the occu- pants. A billiard table In the place, he said, was used ror crap games ,ici.nr rick said he also found thlrty-flve packs of cards In the place, RADICAL METHODISTS WIN Override BUhopi' Vetoei Twice in Southern General Conference Atlanta.

VICTORIA "Olronatrn " wllh Thrda Ilnra. Scenario bv Adrian Johnson Directed by J. Gordon ndnarda Fox production. This elaborately staged Vox ' produc tion may restore tho popularity of the spectacle film, which has recently been on the wane. The subject Is well suited to Theda Bara'a pictorial attributes. It was Inevitable that the favorite por travcr of "vampires" rhnuld revert to a classic specimen The haracter of the Queen of the Nile provides obvious op portunities for an exhibition of feminine cajolery In pantomime Nevertheless, the scenic splendor of mo pnotopiny is its thief virtue, since the dramatic element In n theme that has Inspired some of the world's great est dramatists and poets Is here not very vigorously developed. The director and tho camera man carry off the hon ors. Opulent scenes, devised with n suffi cient sense of historical accuracy, dazzle the eje. The lighting Is finely effective. The epoch-making battle of Actluni Is vividly presented, and us nn nrtlstlc ex amplo of night photography It has been seldom surpassed In Its historical t.eep the photuplay Is markedly compreh-nslve. The tragedy of "the world well lost" Is traced to Its source. Julius Caesar Is a. figure In the film and before the arrival of "Young Antonv" the siren's dalliance with other lovers Is emphasized It Is perhaps this very largeness of design which In some degree militates against compactness of motivation.
