For the whole is comprised of just those things each of which in an individual manner please, and therefore so does the en tire bill. The Two Totos, novelty equilibrists open the bill. Their work while of novel character is ex tremely difficult, and most unusual. Ethel May Hall & Company present a farce "The Wrong Guy," which is a long laugh, a clever playlet, and a post-graduate course in present day slang. Edward Roberts and Joseph Barrett start dramatically, so dramat ically that the nerves of the audience are on edge waiting for the denoue ment, and then, but it would be a shame to tell what then, just as it is a shame to put one over on the au dience as there two do. But they get away with it and then they add some more that keeps the audience right with them and which brought them the loudest and most continued ap plause of the show. "The Bride of the Nile" finishes the bill with a little comic opera, and, itus a delight from start to finish. There's a plot that is unusual, and there are voices of beau tiful quality, and a staging that is far above the ordinary standard. There's not a dull minute in this last act, and there's everything to be complimen- AMUSEMENTS IORPHEUM TO-NIGHT ONLY Thomas Hefsky's All Star Company In their Great Success Where Ar Ower Children SEATS—SOc. 75e, SI.OO TOMORROW Seats Now Selling J Adnpted ~| Till" i My I From the!

Mr. Ijiwkrence has treated the theme in an entirely different way from other au thors who have used it, and is said to have constructed a particularly strong, virile play. "The Guilty Woman" comes to the Orpheum to-morrow, matinee and night. On Saturday, matinee and night, at the Orpheum, the last word in musical comedy, "Oh! Oh! Del "Oh! Oh! phine," will be presented Delphine*' for the second time in this city. This pretentious offering is looked upen as one of the most notable events of the present season, having to its credit R*i entire season's run at the Knickerbocker and New Amsterdam Theaters, New York. The book and lyrics of "Oh! Oil! Delphine" are by C. M. S. McLellan, and Ivan CaryU wrote, the music, the same combination who were responsible for "The Pink Lady." As "The Pink Lady" was founded on a French farce by George Herr and Mar cel Guillemaud, so, "'ob! Oh! Delphine" is founded on a fareo entitled "Villa Primrose" from the French of the same authors. Many who saw Mary Pickford in "The Pride of the Clan." a photoplay at the Repent, yesterday, be- Mnry Pickford lieved that as Mar- Shlnn nt get MacTavish, she the Regent had one of t!ie most attractive roles in her motion picture career. It is a. play that calls for considerable liard work Qn the part of the heroine, and the little actress seldom has an idle moment. The Pickford curls, smiles, roguery and pathos are prominently featured in this, her second production of her own company, released through Artcraft. which will be shown again to day and to-morrow. She has been given all sorts of latitude, and the result is a concoction that will please all the Pickford fans, who like "cuteness more than characterization. But there are things in the film that are fine and handsome, quite aside from the star and what she does. The spirit of the sea is beautifully caught in the first part, of the tale. The story offers a typical Pickford subject and weaves itself about the pretty daughter of a Scottish chieftain who. at an early age, is placed at the head of her clan, when a severe storm at sea results in the loss of her father.

The commission held hearings in Philadelphia, Scranton, Wilkes-Barro, Erie and Pottsville. Scores of wit nesses were examined and counsel for the commission consulted with boards of trade, retail coal dealers' associa tions, coal operators and retail deal ers in other cities. Summarizing its report, the commis sion says: "Your commission is aware that the analysis undertaken of the anthracite coal situation is not without danger to those investigating that situation, due to impressions gathered from a hasty survey of so vast an inquiry. "Much remains undone which could have been done, and doubtless efforts were fruitlessly expended in unneces sary directions, but your commission I Our February Furniture Sale jj §f ... i H!

"That net result may well be ex pressed in the single statement thai since 1913 coal has advanced $1 a ton or approximately 15 per cent. "In 1916, due partly to wage dissen sions and new and more expensive wage agreements, multitudinous petty strikes contrary to the wage agree ments, scarcity of labor, higher wages, uncertainty of supply, increased tax ation, humane labor legislation, ad vanced costs of supplies in both the producing and distributing depart ments of the industry, the advanced royalties demanded by owners in re cent years, the excessive freight rates in Pennsylvania and lastly but not un important, the expense to operators and others of constant and extensive investigation by the State and Gov ernment, it is little wonder that the operators have advanced the price from 40 to 50 cents a ton. "The same logic applies proportion ately, at least, to the independent ad vance of 50 cents a ton made by the retailers. "This total advance of !f1 a ton, or 15 per cent, on prepared sizes is there fore, in the judgment of your com mission. due to many -and varying causes and hardly by the remotest rea soning chargeable to the item of State tax. • "The question of illegal combin ation might be presumed, from a unity of results brought about, according to the operators, by a similarity of condi tions confronting them all, and it is to be. presumed that conditions, ex- cepting trivial local ones, arc much the same throughout the industry and that they compel and doubtless merit a similar result in all the instances. "Thus your commission feels uncon vinced of any illegal conspiracy or un lawful combination among either branch of the industry to take advan tage of the Roney act or other men tioned condition, to improperly and unjustifiably increase the price of an thracite coal." Dealing with the retail phase of the coal business, the report says that while the margin of profit has increased there was nothing in the testimony taken at the hearings to show any il legal combination, "nor do we feel that they indicate tremendously largo returns to the retailer."
