Buspices of Dr. Dixon's department.
This show was under the direction of
Dr. John T. Mullowney, assistant chief
medical inspector of the department,
nnd the interest in it was widespread.
Special lectures on diseases among
children and rules of prevention were
delivered during the week and experts
In children's diseases were present to
aid the dissemination of advice re
garding the proper treatment and care
In infants. This exhibition was abso

Bermuda is a beautiful spot, full of
sunshine and flowers and likewise
strange creatures inhabit these waters
which are anything but enjoyable po
sitions in the divertisement provided
for Miss Kellermann in making the
picture, "Neptune's Daughter," which
comes to the Majestic Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday.
"little mother," the only care
taker of a six-months-old baby, de
clared "that the backyard is no place
for our children." She said that her
father must move.
Bad Housing Expensive
Pr. Mullowney declared that bad
housing was an economical blunder
and that many nuisances and un
sanitary conditions that are allowed to
exist within the confines of a city or
town cost each citizen some risk of
moral or physical health and every
taxpayer some money. With science
proving the close relationship be
tween dirt and disease, said he, it is
obvious that bad housing constitutes a
burden as well as a menace which
should enlist the active support of the
general public. He declared further
that small as well as large cities are
beginning to understand that bad
hn_ning is the root of many evils, and
that it is not confined to rows of tall
tenement houses, but may exist, as
far as living conditions are concerned,
in districts containing only small de
tached houses.
Figures showing the result of the
sanitary dwellings erected in Liverpool
indicate that after sanitary dwellings
had been provided the death rate de
creased from 50 per 1,000 to 27;
that tuberculosis decline from 4 per
cent to 1.9 per cent that in 1896
there were 1.300 cases of typhoid
fever and in 1911 there were 200;
that the cash saving to the city was
at least $325,000 per year or double
the cost of rehousing work.
Huron ii of Housing
These figures and the results of the
work of the department in all parts of
the state have inspired Dr. Dixon to
push forward for the housing pro
position and to be ready to present
to the next Legislature a clear state
ment, under the act of 1913, approved
by Governor Tener, providing for a
bureau of housing which will have to
do with the sanitary oversight of
boarding, tenement and lodp : -«-
houses.
This is only one feature of the great
work for the welfare of the people
which has been going forward under
Republican administration which the
Democratic candidate for Governor
has utterly failed to appreciate.
Richard B. Watrous, secretary of
the American Civic Association spent
last summer in Europe and has just
issued a booklet of his personal ob
servations of housing developments
abroad. He illustrates in his pamph
let the garden cities of Europe and
the great improvement in the housing
conditions of the large industrial cen
ters of the old world.
AT THI'3 COLO MAI,
Time and again fine moving picture
features have been exhibited in the
local theaters, but seldom have they
come protected by a bodyguard as
strong and ferocious as a lighting In
dian. Whether this is an indication of
the merits of the picture remains to be
teen, but to-day It is known positively
that Standing Eagle, chief of the Indian
tribe seen in the "movie" entitled "The
Call of the North," travels with the pic
ture in each town it appears.
Standing Eagle is chief of a tribe of
real American Indians, who play an im
portant part in "The Call of the North,"
the Jesse L Lasky feature that comes
to the Colonial to-day. This is no less
than the same Mr. Lasky who sent the
many girl musical comedy attractions
to the Orpheum In the past, and who
is now directing a good deal of his at
ttfption to "screen" plays. "The Call of
the North" is his first feature to ap
pear in Harrisburg. It Is in five parts,
and calls in the efforts of Robert Erieson,
the well-known romantic actor, who is
not only popular locally, but who won
many friends in this same play in Har
risburg some years ago, when the Or
pheum Theater was still called the
Lyceum.
"The Call of the North" will be at
the Colonial during the first three
days of this week and Standing Eagle
will remain in town as long as the pic
ture does. He will be seen about the
streets, and a close view of him will
convince one that he is a real Ameri
can Indian.—Advertisement.
"ANNETTE KKU.GRMANN"
The attraction at foe Majestic, Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, August 27,
28 and 29, will be Annette Kellermann
In a seven-reel feature motion picture
play, entitled "Neptune's Daughter."
Miss Kellerman. who heretofore has
confined her activities to vaudeville and
musical productions, recently spent
three months on the Island of Bermuda
enacting the heroine in a picture play
by Captain Leslie T. Peacocke. This
play was written especially to exploit
Miss Kellermann and gives her ample
scope, not alone to show her genius as
an acquatic marvel, but also to display
her ability as an actress. The services
of 200 actors were required under the
stage direction of Herbert Brennen.—

Adgie C®stello's Group of
Lions at Faxtang This Week
I 2#*#! 0 |
The fact that Adgte Costello's troup
of ten trained lions will he the feature
attraction at Paxtang Park this week
calls to mind the terrible tragedy con
nected with this act and that only a
few weeks ago. While Adgie was
playing in Chicago, Emerson Deitrich,
her trainer and accepted suitor, was
literally torn to pieces by this same
den of savage beasts.
The story of Detrich's fatal romance
forms one of the most gruesome
tragedies of the stage. The man was
an adventurer and fearless. He be
came a lion trainer with the full
knowledge of the danger connected
with the Job. Deitrich fell in love
with Miss Costello and took every op
portunity to display fearlessness when
around the lions.
Although it was no part of Delt
rich's duty to enter the cages, he
made pets of the animals and fre
quently entered their den. Of all the
lions which Miss Adgie owned, Teddy,
a powerful young beast. Just grown
from cubhood, was the furlest and the
one she loved best. She was anxious
for Emerson to love him, too, and
the lad spent much time ingratiating
himself with the beast. In addition to
Teddy, Trilby, an old lioness, received
considerable attention at Deitrlch's
hands.
A few weeks ago, while the lions
were encaged in ■» special animal car
in the yards of the Santa "Fe Rail
road in Chicago, where they were to
ibe shown at a Chicago theater, thei
fIARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
end of young Deltrlch's romance was
enacted.
In the car there was a large cage
known as the "arena cage," where
Teddy, Trilby and four full grown lions
were permitted to roam at will. In
another cage was a year old cub that
had been injured In an accident. Deit
rich visited the car to see how the
injured cub was faring. Then he
visited the arena cage to pay his re
spects to the big lions.
When Deitrich opened the door and
snaplocked it behind hini the lions
were pacing about, baring their fangs
and growling discontentedly, and they
drew back and fenced at the bars as
the scent of a human being filled their
dry nostrils. Deitrich undoubtedly
saw trouble ahead, but he was too
courageous to retire. Such cowardice
his fiance could never have forgiven.
Trilby, the old lioness, paced past Deit
rich, seemingly without recognition,
but Teddy, the grown up c\ib, recog
nized his friend and playmate with
a K>ar and launched his tawney body
at Tiim with a spring that took him
half way across the cage.
The heavy padded paws of the
young lion struck Deitrich fairly on
the shoulders, anu he was carried
down to the floor with the young lion
astraddle of his body.
Teddy cleared himself from the
prostrate form of Deitrich and rolled
over on his side. But another towney
body tla3hed through the air and a
Teat paw with claws unsiieathed rak-th
Ed the side of the fallen man from
scalp to thigh.
Blood sprayer from the frightful
wounds and the smell of it called the
atavistic cry of the "kill" from the
throats of the quintet of "tamed"
lions caged with the prey, and set in
quick motion the heart of George Mc-
Cord, a trainer standing at the steps
of the car, who had heard the cry in
the jungle and knew what it meant.
When McCord reached the door of
the arena cage armed with a pitch
fork lie had picked up, he found it
locked against him. Trilby, the old
lioness, her hide striped with blood
and her jaws apage, stood beside the
bleeding form of Deitrich trying to
fend off the determined attack of the
blood mad beasts. Deitrich was lying
on his side, huddled up to ward off as
long as possible the impending fate.
So quickly did the bloodthirsty ani
mals paw their victim to death, says
McCord, that it had seemed to him but
a moment between the time Deitrich
had been heard saying: "Here Teddy,
get down Teddy; lie down Mutt," and
then the last cry for help from the
overpowered man.
"My God, McCord, my God, get the
fork! I'm gone, I'm gone! Teddy,
Teddy, Mutt, Mutt!" he finally uttered
faintly.
When help arrived the lions were
snarling over their prey. One nibbled
with blood-moistened fangs at the foot
of the victim; another was tugging at
an arm; a third was ripping asunder
the left breast of Deitrich, while the
others were sparring for better posi
tions to find their share of the ineal.
Young Deitrich's romance was over.
AXOTHKR BIG COMEDY WEEK
Since it has oeen moved and seconded
that the weather man's efforts don't
count much with Orpheum fans, another
bier comedy show Is headed this way,
hot weather or no hot weather. Any
way, who cares, so long as we have the
cool and comfort of the Orpheum and a
good vaudeville show to make us forget
I our troubles? Speaking of the people
who can make you forget worries, it's
good to think of Joe Welch, the cham
pion smile winner. Joe Is a Hebrew
comedian of the llrst water, without
any real imitators and a style and origi
nality that is infectious. In fact, the
management Is so sure that he is going
to be one of the biggest foolers that
ever came to the Orpheum that they
have offered a reward to anybody who
can sit through his act without smiling.
Joe Welch comes before the footlights
just in his usual Hebrew make-up,
without soecial scenery or an augment
ed orchestra, and at that it is said at
the box office that he receives the high
est salary of any comedian who has vet
appeared on the Orpheum stage. On this
same bill Will Roelim's Five Athletic
Girls will offer a pretty and Interest
ing turn that is decidedly unlike any
thing yet seen in Harrisburg, and Thea
lyelghtnpr. the Harrisburg girl, and
Dolly Jordon, two of last season's big
favorites, return in an entirely new
singing act. Other important features
will include the Alexander Kids, vaude
ville's best juveniles; Burns and Lvpn.
eccentric comedians; Havlland and
Thornton In a variety skit, and the Tus
cano Brothers, daring Jugglers.—Ad
