In the first place It serves to exploit the masterpieces of two of Europe's noted artists, i. e. Ralph Brunt's elabo rate painting entitled "The Celestial City." and Hartzs Verion's picture of the New Orleans slave mart; and sec ondly it has brought back into promi nence the memories of that grand old lady, Harriet Beecher Stowe. and serves to reveal the beautiful lessons really to be learned by careful attention.

The quintet comprises two men and three young women, and their offering consists of an original potpourri of songs, dances and music. A rich comedy sketch on the same bill is entitled "Isaac, You Tell Her." that James Horan and com pany are presenting. Billie Cree, a dainty songstress, and .Toe Morse, a popular singing comedian, complete a bill that is certainly smart for a popu lar priced theater.

The story of the paly is familiar to all book lovers, and it Is conservatively estimated by no less an authority than Scribner's that almost 3.000,000 have read this delightful story of the Cumberland mountains.— Advertisement.

They who like to laugh get more than one act to please them. There is Milton Pollock and company In "Speaking to Father." Hoey and I.ee, the Hebrew character comedians. In fun and paro dies. Admirers of nifty girls have Eva Puck, who, with her brother. ITarrv, presents a splendid flirtation skit.

And so the Orpheum's I bill goes, It Is clever throughout.—Ad- I vertisemcnt. < CLOSE EPSOM TRACK FOR TWO SEASONS Duke of Portland Angry Because Officials Refuse Clubhouse For Use as Hospital By Associated Press London. Feb. 26.—The Duke ofi Portland, who for thirty years has been one of the leading: figures on the English turf has caused to be can celled all racing entries for the Epsom I track, including the derby for both I 1915 and 1916, because of the refusal! of the Epsom Association to do with out the use of its clubhouse for a few j days. This building is now being used as a military hospital, and the Epsom Association is shortly to hold its reg ular meeting. When the association permitted the occupancy ol' its build ing as a hospital it stipulated that the house be returned to it for its com ing conferences. i in a letter of protest to the club committee, the Duke wrote: "Surely for one year the few fol lowers of racing should be only too glad to forego their luncheons if by so I doing it becomes unnecessary to dis turb British soldiers who have been wounded for the sake of their coun try." The committee yielded partially, and said they would require only one floor of the building during race week. But this did not satisfy the Duke of Port land and he caused the withdrawal of all entries.
