(Jiven the stamp of otlieial approval b> three members of the City Commis sion, serving as a board of censors, the film drama was seen by thousands crowding a Boardwalk theater this afternoon and evening. There arc a few somewhat tense scenes, but noth ing to cause serious agitation. Director or Public Safety Bartlett, who early in the week issued an order forbidding the production here, with Commissioners Thompson and Beyer saw the films at a private perform ance shortly after noon to-day. When the three censors emerged from the playhouse they found the Roardwalk lined with people anxiously awaiting the official judgment. Com-j mlssloner Beyer smiled and waved his hand and the crowd rushed the box office. "It's not bad —not bad at all," cx , plained the public safety director. "I've seen much worse many a time when nobody said a word." commented 1 Commissioner Beyer. "One Day," a nequel to the Glyn novel, is booked for three days next week at another Boardwalk playhouse.

PLflhIS FOR BIG FIGHT NEAR COMPLETION Willard and Johnson to Start Training Early in February; Champion Selects Mexico Special to The Telegraph New York, Jan. 23. —Plans for the Johnson-Willard championship battle at Juarez, Mex., on March t> are rapidly being completed. The promo ters have established permanent quar ters at El Paso, just across the inter national boundary and mapped out a long list of details which must be ar ranged before the principals enter the ring. Willard. will do his conditioning In the suburbs of El Paso, where the summer home of one of the leading citizens has been placed at his dis posal. Located on one of the principal boulevards of the city it will be easy to access and with the surrounding grounds and stables afford excellent facilities for both indoor and outdoor work. Johnson will prepare on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande. Training quarters have been secured for him in the Juarez Opera House and accommodations for himself and staff of helpers in a nearby cottage. Start Training Next .Month Roth pugilists are planning to ar rive at the training camps early next [ month in order that they may become accustomed to the rarefied atmos phere. Both El Paso and Juarez have an altitude of close to 4,000 feet and training conditions arfe vastly different from those prevailing at lower levels. This was brought out sharply in the Johnson-Jeffries contest in 1910. Af ter spending some weeks in condition ing at close to sea level near San Fran cisco the camps were shifted to Reno, when the governor ordered the pugi lists out of California. The change to the Nevada town at an altitude of ap proximately 4.500 feet set back the training for fully a week while prin cipals and helpers were adapting themselves to the lighter air.

Since prehistoric times milk lias been a household word: it lias been celebrated in song and story. Of late years It lias been the subject of the philanthropist propaganda, the concern of lawmakers, the object of learned dis cussion; but it remained for a little woman barely five feet tall to make milk the hero—or rather the heroine—of a play. Una Clayton, widely known as an actress and playwright lias written a one-act play called simply "Milk." It tells the story of a "little mother" of the slums, one of those shrewd, precocious children, who are so earlv forced into the responsibilities of life. The tale is a strongly dramatic one in spots, although the comedy aspects are equally divided with the tersely dramatic situ ations. Miss Clayton, a favorite, both as writer and actress on all the big time circuits, is well chosen to influence a large number of people who perhaps would not be reached by ordinary propaganda. Regarding her present vehicle Miss Clayton says she believes in her playlet. She is sure of its value as a vehicle for her company and herself and adds that she will be a doubly happy woman if she can help to win tho light to make all milk safe.—Adv. lAMuseMemsi i MAJESTIC I Monday and Tuesday evening, Jan. 25- | 26—"Papa's Daughters" for the | benefit of tlic Polyclinic Hospital, j Wednesday evening, Jan. 27—Kllen | Terry in scenes rrom Shakespeare. | Thursday afternoon and evening, Jan. 28—"The Old Homestead."

Chief of the splen dla Keith acts booked to appear at the Orpheum next week is what has prop erly been termed a playlet with a pur pose. It is a sterling comedy drama cnetltted "Milk." featuring no less a local favorite than Miss Una Clayton. Her act promises to be one of the big big topics of the season, for while it entertains it throws out powerful life saving arms for babies, babies who lose their lives becauso of impure and diseased milk. Miss Clayton has heen at the Ovplieum before. Also Mack and Orth, the popular song writers,! return next week in a great comedy vehicle with singing; and Bogonghi, the midget comedian, even though a good rider, will show audiences the time of their lives by trying to ride a beautiful circus horse, oceans too big for the little rider to step on. This act is said to l»t good for a constant scream. Other big names are also included, not forgetting the Bilfords, the bicycle artists, who met with a startling accident at the Orpheum several wee Its ago, but who are going to prove to Harrisburg next weeks that they can "come back."—Adver tisement. COLONIAL "A Seminary Scandal" is the title of a breezy musical comedy with songs, that is by all odds the cleverest and best act of its kind ever shown at the Busy Corner. Such clever girls, such pretty girls and such an interest ing theme, together with attractive scenery, all combine to make the act in itself wortn several times the prices of admission. And then there is a comedy pantomime called "Fun on the Boulevard," that is mirth provoc ative from start to finish. The comedy surprises in this novelty come thick and fust and keep the audiences gasping with laughter.

Miller, who presented whaj. is believed will be the concluding argument on the side of organized ball In the anti trust suit brought by the Federals. Hp declared a temporary injunction asked by the Federals would destroy an institution it had taken organized ball forty years to build. In support of his charges Miller cited instances in whicn lie said the Federal Leaguers had signed players under contract with clubs in organized ball: the sections of the Federal League contracts he alleges, corresponded to the crltlzised 10-day and reserve rules and the alleged justification of raids by the plaintiff on the ground that 10-day clauses invalidated American and Na tional League contracts.
