SAN CARLO OPERA CO.
There is a widespread interest in
the coining performances of the San
Carlo Grand Opera Company next week
at the Orpheum, this being indicated by
the number of inquiries teaching the
theater box office and Fred C. Hand.
This interest, is not confined to Har
risburg. but has penetrated its environs
to a large extent, and there will be
many opera parties from such points
as York, liebanon, Carlisle, Annviile,
Hanover, Sunbury, Hershey, Gettys
burg, Klizabethtown and other places
to hear the San Carlo Grand Opera
Company's songbirds. Agencies for
the sale of tickets in all those towns
have been established by Manager
Hand, and parties are coming by train,
trolley, automobile and otherwise, so
that the opera* will unquestionably
prove gala events.
The San Carlo Grand Opera Com
pany, which, according to the ex
changes. recently shattered all records
for attendance at the Alvin Theater,
Pittsburgh, is now enjoying its annual
engagement at the Belasco Theater.
Washington. D. C. t where last season
it drew the largest and most distin
guished audience gathered at that piny
house since the beginning of the Wil
son administration. The organization
now numbers 100 artists, and travels
by special train. The operas chosen
for Harrisburg's musiclovers are ex
tremely popular, being as follows; Fri
day -evening. March 2.1, "Rigoletto;"
Saturday afternoon, "Tales of HofT
man;" evening. "II Trovatore." These
will be sung by three separate casts.
Manager Hand announces the open
ing sale of seats will take place at the
Orpheum on Wednesday, March 21, al
though mail orders, both from in and
out of town will be received from this
time forward and filled in the order of
sequence.

In this photoplay Miss Ward takes
the part of of a hoydenish little girl
living with friends of her dead father,
who, on discovering that Betty's mine
Is worthless, allow her to believe that
the money they spend lavishly on her
comes from her mine. Their orange
groves are nipped by the frost one
year, and they are facing a pretty hard
sort of winter. Betty, who has been
told that her mine is useless, decides
to see for herself and sets out alone to
investigate. The kindly miners try, In
their rough way, to make things easier
for her and at last hit upon the idea
of salting the mine or putting in nug
gets for lier to find so that she would
believe the mine rich again. The wav
she finds these and also some real gold,
which has been there all the time, onlv
kept secret by a scheming mine expert,
and finally marries the kind friend of
her father forms a story whose unique
charm makes It a long to/be remem
bered treat. '

Tyrants Transformed
Into Skunks"
The contemptible plan of malicious
slander to injure the sale of CAMEL ciga
rettes has been exposed. Such an insult to
the intelligence of Mr. Jobber, Mr. Dealer
and Mr. Smoker has been rightfully resented.
That great force of justice and fairness that
the average man always upholds still
prevails.
Some say those responsible for this malicious slander
once forced their way by biting and clawing the trade.
Since having their teeth and claws pulled out, and real
izing their inability to longer continue biting and
scratching, they put on gum shoes, transformed them
selves from tyrants into skunks, and are fighting by us
ing their fetid odor to destroy a great brand which has
won the confidence of the public.
Now that the object of these low-down tactics of
.lying to injure the sale of CAMEL cigarettes is known
to the trade and consumer, it is acting like a boomerang,
and the hides of these skunks, as they are called by some,
are now being pierced by their own malicious slander.
We know from facts in our possession whose
employees are circulating the damaging falsehoods
about CAMEL Cigarettes.
Here's Why They
The purity and delightfulness of CAMEL cigarettes
have made them the largest selling brand of cigarettes
in the world. We sold over four billions more CAMELS
in the year 1916 than we sold in the year 1915. Think
of that wonderful increase—a gain of four billions in one
year! We have already sold over one billion more
CAMELS during 1917 than we sold for the,
sponding period of 1916. These record-breaking in
creases were made unassisted by coupons or premiums
-—standing alone on purity and delightfulness. Our in
crease alone in the sale of CAMEL cigarettes is more
than the total sales of any other brand of cigarettes for
the period stated.
What more positive testimonial of the purity and de
lightfulness of CAMEL cigarettes could be furnished
than this tremendous and steady increase in their sales?
Smokers will not permit themselves to be prejudiced
against CAMEL cigarettes, to give up a brand that has
brought them so much pleasure, now that they know
that only envy and jealousy were the foundation for the
malicious falsehoods put into circulation for the pur
pose of injuring the sale of CAMEL cigarettes.
CAMEL cigarettes are pure and they are delightful.
We invite comparison with any cigarette in the world,
at any price, arid welcome fair and aboveboard com
petition from any manufacturer.

I
this season, while the Central reserves
have almost as enviable a record. Al
most as much interest will center in
the outcome of this game as in the
Varsity contest.
Following the contests there will be
dancing in which students of the two
schools will participate. March SO
the two teams are scheduled to meet
on the Armory floor. This game will
be under the Tech direction, and
should the championship still be un
decided a third game will be staged to
decide the winner.
London Plans to Turn
Clock and Save Daylight
London, March 14. A committee
appointed to Inquire into the social
and econoihic results of setting the
clock ahead one hour last summer
so as to save an hour of daylight has
decided to recommend its continuance
and that people should begin to save
daylight this year on Easter Sunday,
April 8. and keep it up until Sunday,
September 23.
The system will probably be re
introduced by an order in council, cs
it is not necessary to have a fresh act
of Parliament. Daylight saving went
Into effect on May 21, last year. The
change caused so littfe inconvenience
and the return to winter time -at the
end of summer was made so easv that
the experiment was pronounced a suc
cess. The committee appointed to
discover the beneficial effects of the
daylight saving scheme has not yet
submitted' Its findings.
