Never has any camera recorded any scenes more wonderful than these. Here na ture, animate and inanimate, as found in the newly-discovered continent, is de picted in her most weird and elemental moods. It is, indeed, something to mar vel at. So successfully do they convey the actuality and atmosphere of the Antarctic; so realistic are they and yet so fascinating, that hundreds of patrons have attended the exhibition time and again to catch all it conveys to the mind. One of the most unique and really in teresting stories that wiis ever screened is "The Heiress of Cof- Ilessle I.ove at fee Dan's," the newest the Colonial Triangle feature that was shown to large and appreciative audiences at the Colo nial 1 heater yesterday and which will be seen for the last times to-day.

Appreciative audiences yesterday greeted the first showing at the Regent of Margin-rite Clark. in Marguerite the screamingly funny Clark farce, "Miss George at Regent Washington." Same will be shown to-day for the last time. Because she wan reputea never to have told a lie in all her life, "Bernice Somen" was presented with a truth medal. As a matter of fact, she was one of the worst fibbers that ever joined the Ananias Club. The funny part of it was that she had such a pious and innocent expression on her pretty face that she completely fooled everybody except her immediate friends who ironically called her "Miss George Washington"—because she was so dif ferent. To-morrow and Saturday—Mary Pickford will be presented in "Tess of the Storm Country." "The Rise of Susan," the charming picture play in which Clara Kimball Young, the beautiful Clnrn Kimball and talented artist is Young. Victoria featured, is the sort Theater To-day of play in which the action centers about the most adorable girl Imaginable. It is tlie character of picture that gives Miss Young many opportunities to dis play her wonderful natural charms.

' _ / SCENE FROM A "DAUGHTER OP THE GODS" Miss Kellermann, known as the Diana of the Films, is not only the most perfect specimen of womanhood in the world, but she is phvsicallv and men tally one of the most courageous. This explains William Fox's faith in his star and why he was willing to hack that faith with a great Hock of golden eagles, hat others considered a gambler's chance, he knew for a sure thing. Miss Kellermann s remarkable work in "A daughter of the Gods ' far ex ceeded Mr, Fox's wildest dreams, Truly a beautiful mind, it is claimed, con ceived the theme of the story, truly an understanding one accepted it, trulv a master financier determined to bring It Into the light of day. and trulv the most perfectly formed woman In the world voluntarily risked her precious neck in Interpreting the role to its last bewildering and difficult detail.

SHIPMEN EXPLAIN LABOR SHORTAGE 'Naval Committee Told Only Skilled Workers Arc in Private Plants Washington, Jan. 18. The Cramp Shipbuilding Company is willing to devote one-third of its shipbuilding facilities for four years to battleship work, Henry S. Grove, president of the company, told the House Naval Af fairs committee yesterday. The com pany will take a profit of 10 per cent, over the cost, he said, but could build only one battle cruiser, as two of the company's six slips would be required for such a ship. Labor shortage was reported by J. Harry Mull, manager of the marine department of Cramps'. He said that within the last year his company had found it necessary to accept 80.400 ap plicants in order to gain an addition of 1,900 skilled workers in their plant. Inroads in the eastern seaboard yards had been made by a western firm, which took men from his plant by an offer of a two-year contract on a basis of $6.50 a day for ordinary skilled workers. In addition the transporta tion of these men and tlieir families was paid across the continent, he said: Officers of the Bethlehem corpor ation subsidiaries, the Union Iron Works and the Fore River Shipbuild ing Company, also told of labor scar city. J. W. Powell, of the Fore River Company, said his company had been forced to establish night schools in co-operation with the Massachusetts State Board of Education to develop skilled workers to offset the constant losses. On basis of reductions in cost of materials obtained by the Navy De partment, H. B. Taylor, vice-president of Cramps', told the committee the lowest possible estimate of cost on a battle cruiser his company can make is $18,600,000, which is more than $2,- 000,000 higher than the amount ap propriated in the act. H. S. Snyder, representing- the Union Iron Works, voiced the Bethlehem Steel Company's proposal to leave the matter of cost of materials and fail profit to the Federal Trade Commis sion, Mr. Powell made the same offer, but Mr. Grove said he could not ac cept such proposal offhand. %V ARROW JormJit COLLARS are curve cut to fit the shouldas perfectly. cei its each, bjerger CLtIETT PEABODY &COi INClMitm ; AMUSEMENTS f Orp Ileum TO-NIGHT DI'KI.ESQUE I'p-to-Dnte THE TOURISTS With GUS KAY mill • A BEAUTY CIIOHI'S To-morow and Saturday MATIXEES DAILY Adllltn, 25c" ami 3So| < liililrm, 15c Nights 25—35—50 I r ——■————— — Regent Theater TO-DAY OM.Y NAKGI'EItITK CLARK In "Miss George Washington" The ntory of n Klrl who could not tell tin- truth.

Opinions differed as to the meaning of the amendments, and another meet ing will be held January 29. Fish Commissioner Buller will be present and explain the changes. Local anglers outside of sports men's Associations are against the proposed license fee.

For the first time in several seasons Harrisburg is not represented at the big shoot at PinehUrst, N. C. State shooters who figure in local matches are on hand.

There is considerable gossip about transferring the Utica franchise of the New York State League to either Allentown or Bethlehem. Both cities are after league buseball. In the event of a change the league would become a Pennsylvania organization. It is the opinion in Harrisburg that a change to Allentown would prove beneficial.
