DAUPHIN-PERRY LEAGUE FANS HAVE INTERESTING SCHEDULE—AMUSEMENT DOINGS
WELLY'S GORNER
Hard game to lose yesterday.
Barnes showed gbod form until the
ninth and it would have been the
proper thing to give him relief.
Youngsters must be nursed. His
hard work during the game was
bound to tell on the boy.
It looks as If local fans would
not see Layden working in Harris
burg this year. He wired Manager
('ockill that he was a free agent.
Word was sent him to come to Syra
cuse. Since then it has been learned
that the Now York Americans have
a claim on the outfielder.
Les Darcy is dead. He was a hard
luck athlete, and while his illness
and death have been the result of
his own indiscretions, he was not
wholly to blame. Some people like
to hound a man when he is down.
Darcy was knocked, by press and
public. He did not get a fair chance.
When he took the right course he
got little encouragement. Man's in
humanity to man had a whole lot
to do with his death according to a
•widespread opinion.
Harrisburg's classic track meet
will be a big athletic feature to-mor
row at Municipal Field. According
to reports there will be an army of
contestants here, and many hundred

There will be thirty members in the I

Child" menclng Monday, May
The theme of the drama is
birth control, one of the vital ques
• tons of the day, which is so promi
nently before the Public Just now.
The author. Howard McKent Barnes,
a young American playwright, who
has already given theatergoers a suc
cessful drama this season in xne
End of a Perfect Day," went deeply
into the subject before completing
his story, devoting many weeks to re
search in the laboratories of promi
nent physicians throughout the coun
try. The result is well worthy of the
effort, for "Her Unborn Chila is a
valuable contribution to stage litera
ture, and the lesson it teaches will
do much to prevent the wanton
slaughter of innocent, unborn babes
due to the ignorance of misguided
mothers, who listen to bad advice and
pay the heavy penalty exacted.
A line-up of brilliant Keith attrac
tions. with Andrew Mack, the cele
brated Irish singer

featuring Map Mur-
Mae Murray ray. Miss Murray
at the Regent is wrohgfully sus
pected, and the
police take prints of her shapely
fingers. This is how she came to be
"On Record." But, of course, this
isn't all of the story. It began in the
country. Rand, a young aviator,
meets with an accide.nt, and falls in
the field near Helen's home. Helen
comes to the rescue, and later she
goes to the city, and is employed as
a secretary to Rand's mother. She
unknowingly becomes involved in a
plot, conceived by a rival firm of
aeroplane manufacturers. She is
falsely accused of being a suspicious
character and her fingerprints are
taken. Eventually the situation
clears up and she is freed. A happy
termination to a good story is the
marriage of Helen and Hand. The
attraction for the first three days of
next week will be Mary Pickford in
her latest picture, "A Romance of the
Redwoods."
Earle Williams, the popular Vita
graph star, and Francis X.. Bushman
will be seen on the
"The Hawk" same program at
at the Colonial the Colonial Thea
ter to-day. The for
mer will be seen in a splendid story
of love and romance produced by the
Vitagraph Company, called "The
Hawk," not a detective story, but a
love story that shows the handsome
star in a part that will win him many
new admirers. The story of a man's
soul buried in iniquity, but resurrect
ed by his faith in a woman. Francis
X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne will
be the added attraction of the pro
gram in the sixteenth episode of "The
Great Secret." called "The Crafty i
Hand." another chapter of romance i
