CAPACITY HOUSES
Diminutive Mitzi Hajos Capti

Far Above Average
Capacity houses on Saturday ■wit
nessed two performances of Henry
Savage's production of Pom Pom,
starring Mitzi Hajos. As a whole It
was a typical Savage production with
all of its lavishness, Its big company,
its singing and dancing, and Its for
eign atmosphere—all things which
have been so notable in Savage plays of
recent years since the Inception of
"The Merry Widow." "Pom Pom" Is
a musical comedy, a bit bettor than
the average with much better singing
and dancing than ordinarily, and a
genuinely captivating little star, who,
gave the audience Just enough to
prove that she could sing and danco,
and who with mannerisms and panto
mine won the hearts of the audience.
The comedy eloment was well provid
ed for and was placed In most capable
hands. While probably not as al
luring as the music of some other
shows, "P<rtn Pom" had several good
airs, whistling ones, and an orchestra

What Drink Docs in Philadelphia
Statistics compiled by Philadelphia
authorities prove that 78 out of the
84 murders investigated by the city
during X 916 were due directly or in
directly to rum. The police made 15,-
258 arrests for intoxication in eleven
months, averaging about 3,20# a
month. During the year 1,982 per
sons were committed to the House of
Correction as vagrants, the majority
of whom became derelicts through
drink. Sixteen hundred were com
mitted on straight charges of drunk
enness. The warden supplements his
testimony, that 75 per cent, of the
prisoners in that Institution are there
because of rum, by the following ex -
planation:
"I have made this estimate on the
authority of the men themselves.
Furthermore, all the broken paroles
from this Institution are due to
drink."
