with is modern. Mr. Barnes tells a
human interest story, dramatic, ap
pealing, that is a powerful indict
ment of those supposed advanced
persons who are seeking to probate
the theory of birth control. His play
shows the cause ar.d effect of the
world's most serious crime. A youth
ful pair of lovers, who, blinded by
the impetuosity of romance, love not
wisely, but too well, are the central
figures of "Her Unborn Child." Tt is

around this pair that Mr. Barnes has
woven a story that cannot fail to
point a moral to those who witness his
play. Because of the subject with
wlii<;h "Her Unborn Child" deals, no
one under 18 years of age will bo ad
mitted to witness the performance.
There will be matinees daily, and
these will be reserved for women ex
clusively.
"Experience." the modern morality
drama by George V. Hobart, which
has been the dramatic
"Experience" sensation of the past
two seasons, is now
announced for the Orpheum, week be
ginning Monday night. May 14, with
matinees Wednesday and Saturday.
No play in years has scored the
enormous success credited to "Experi
ence," which at first was reported a
failure, and then turned into one of
the biggest drawing cards of modern
times. The producers, William El
liott, F. Ray Comstock and Morris
Gest, have given "Experience" a gor
geous stage setting and have provid
ed a big company of eighty-two peo
ple. The play tells the eternal story
of youth—his trials, troubles and
temptations when he goes forth in the
big world. It is told in the form of
an allegory, yet all of the scenes and
incidents are very much up-to-date.
"The Four Husbands," one of the
season's smart musical comedy tab
loids, gives the
Muxlenl Comedy entire perform-
Tnliloiil at Majestic ance at the Ma
jestic Theater the
Hist half of the present week. The
piece has all the ingredients of a full
musical comedy—a catchy, jingling
array of song numbers, pretty girls,
many costume changes, large chorus
of mixed voices, amusing comedy
situations, capable principals and ade
quate weenie equipment. The company
of twenty is headed by Emmett Vogan
and Hetty Frank, who are said to not
only possess pleasing personalities,
but an abundance of talent as well.
"The Four Husbands" is the joint
work of William B. Friedlander and
Will M. Hough.
The Itegent held large and . appre
ciative audiences at all of yesterday's
performances. It
tiefirge >l. Colinn was the occasion
at the Itegeiit of George M.
Cohan's Itrst ap
pearance on the screen, and the play,
"Broadway Jones," in which the fam
ous author, actor, composer, manager
enacted the title role.
When produced at the George M.
Cohan Theater, in Broadway, some
three years ago, "Broadway Jones"
immediately proved itself the biggest
popular success in which Mr. Cohan
ever appeared. Frequently sought by
motion picture producers without suc
cess, this story presents an admirable
screen subject, and with George M.
Cohan in the original character,
should more than duplicate its stage
popularity among patrons of high
class pictures.
The story tells of a small town
youth, who secures a goodly inherit
ance and journeys to the Great White
Way to "burn it up." After various
exciting; experiences he finds that his
money has dwindled to nothing anil
learns that there are many unpaid
hills to he met. After complications,
involving a rich widow, whom he
seeks to marry, he turns hack to his
home town and starts life anew, tak
ing over his father's chewing gum
plant, where new experiences await
him. Sparkling with a continuous
series of humorous situations, offset
by various drama'Jc scenes, this sub
ject presents a bl eezy story of rapid
action and human interest. *a typical
George M. Cohan production.
Anita Stewart, the dainty Vif'agraph
star, was seen to splendid advantage
at the Colonial
"A Million Hl<l" Theater yesterday
at the Colonial in a De Luxe edi
tion of her great
est screen success. "A Milion Bid."
This photoplay, which is showng for
tlie last times to-day, gives Miss Stew
art opportunity for strong emotional
acting and shows her in a part that
will win her many new admirers. The
story deals with a girl who is forced
to marry a man she does not love.
Chester Conklin, the funny Keystone
player, and an all-star cast will be
seen on the same program in a two
part Keystone comedy, "Dodging His
Doom." Also the latest Pathe News.

BRING CAMPAIGN
FOR DRY NATION
DURING WAR HERE
Prohibition Leaders Will
Plead For National Prohibi
tion at Capitol
The campaign lor war prohibition
in State and Nation conducted by
Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts after two weeks
of large meetings, mostly in this
State, has entered its third week
with meetings at Pittsburgh, Johns
town, Scranton and Wilkes-Barre
and returns to-day for a second
meeting here, this time in the hall
of the House of Representatives,
with the Governor presiding. Mt.
Howard will repeat his new lecture,
"The World on Fire," and Dr. Crafts
will also speak. On Wednesday they
both speak at Carlisle, and Thurs
day at Chambersburg. Friday the
.campaign reaches Mechanicsburg,
and on Sunday, May 6, Mr. Howard
will carry the fight to the doors of
Congress by a second series,of meet
ings at Washington, D. C.
Governor Brumbaugh has con
sented to preside at the meeting to
night and will probably make a
brief address. Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts,
superintendent of the International
Reform Bureau, will follow, and the
main address will be by Clinton N.
Howard, of Rochester, N. Y., known
as "The Dittle Giant of the Plat
form," who will repeat the lecture
which made a profound impression
in the national capital at the twen
ty-second anniversary of the Reform
Bureau, entitled "The Word on
Fire," in which he makes a power
ful picture of the cost of the war
jin men and money, and offsets those
deep shadows with the compensa
tions which the nations that went
into the war in self-defense are
reaping; following which he will ask
what can compensate the United
States for the great "acrifices which
the war is likely to require, and he
will show that war prohibition is the
only possible compensation commen
surate to the cost.
Dr. Crafts, in visiting the Capitol
to arrange for this meeting, inter
viewed legislative leaders, and Speak
er Baldwin volunteered the state
ment that while he was opposed to
separate war prohibition for the
State, lie would favor a resolution
asking Congress to forbid the use of
any food stuffs for liquors during
the period of the war.
Has Two Measures
By request of State and national
legislators, the International Reform
Bureau, entitled "The World on
one a State resolution, embodying
| the proposition quoted above as en
dorsed by the Speaker; the other,
the Blanton bill in Congress, intern
ing all liquors for the period of
the war, with permission to redistill
liquors into alcohol for military and
industrial purposes, and to use the
buildings of distilleries and brewer
ies for munition plants so far as
needed—this to offset usual allow
ance in prohibitory laws of .a year's
time for men in the liquor business
to adjust themselves to the change.
The campaign that Dr. Crafts and
Mr. Howard have been making for
the two weeks past will be continued
until the question is settled by State
and National legislatures. Most of
the meetings of the coming week, as
in the last two weeks, will be in the
cities of Pennsylvania, where the
issue is both State and National.
FIv.\(iRAISING POSTPONED
Camp Hill, Pa., May 1. Camp
Hill's flagraising has been postponed
until next Tuesday, on account of
bad weather. Officials decided at
noon to postpone the celebration.
The program arranged for the cele
bration to-day will be followed out
next week.

he would accept. No action waj tak
en by council to name a successor for
the late Mayor E. S. Meals.
Sheriff In JIMMJ
Mr, Dunkle has been a resident of
the city for many years. In 1906 he
became Sheriff of Dauphin county,
serving in that office for three years.
He is connected with a number of
manufacturing firms and corporations
in the city. His election came as a
big surprise to many businessmen.
When council convened a com
munication from John A. Affleck,
president of the Harrlsburg Shoe
Manufacturing Company, declining to
fill the unexpired term of Commis
sioner Bowman, was read.
John llrmlv Dlcvlril
John T. Brady, well-known member
of the Dauphin county bar, and for
years a member of the old Park
Commission, was elected to succeed
Benjamin IT. Umberger, who resign
ed from the City Planning Commis
sion because of removal to a resi
dence outside the city.
To reduce the number of poles be
insr erected in the city by telegraph
and telophone companies by ordering
them wherever possible to use the
same ones, Commissioner in
troduced an ordinance which If pass
ed finally will require him to with
hold granting licenses to more than
one corporation for erecting poles on
streets twenty feet wide or less. The
ordinance also provides that when
a company takes out a permit for the
election of poles It will mean com
pliance with the provisions to allow
other companies to use the same pole
and pay rental rates.
Commissioner Gross Introduced an
ordinance creating the position of
Contagious Disease Nurse in the Bu
reau of Health, and fixing the annua*
salary at S9OO. Miss Helen J. Both.
335 Hummel street, has been elected.
Other business disposed Of Includes:
Awarding contract to Horace G. Hip
pie for remodeling Washington Hose
Company house at a cost of $1,200;
approval of bonds for supplies for
water department; receiving of state
ment from Owen M. Copelin of de
linquent taxes for 1915, which total
$1,851.47.
