J WSFm IMDMT<4F mBB 1 An event In the loca 1 theatrical world will be the appearance here of Tim Murphy and a capable company in the new three-act comedy, "Pals First," The comedy, which has for its locale the country immediately ad jacent to Nashville.

As for Mr. Murphy, star of "Pals First." this very capable come dian is a disciple of the modern school and believes in natural effects.

The program was one of the best that j the management . lias .presented In llarrlsburg this season. I Two of the acts were of the small- i time variety, but the three, espe | cially Walters and Walters In their j ventriloquist stunt, were better than j the average. Pome of the "jokes were I <.ld, but as a whole they passed mus | ter. although some could be elimt- j nated. i .lack and Jessie Gibson in their bl ! cycle act performed creditably and i Jack Gibson amused the audiejice to ! a great extent by clever manipu | lation f a high one-wheel cycle. Morlin. the piano accordionist, was ! ! entertaining, but failed to put the! | spirit into his playing and detracted i much from the result by his continu ous dancing. "The Tale of a Coat," the third act 011 the program, was by far the fun | niest. The audience was in laughter I from start to finish and the perform ' ers were generously applauded. | Walters and Walters gave the e'.v --! erest exhibition of ventriloqulsn. wit nessed in Harrisburg in a long time. ' The audience was greatly deceived by their art, and the singing of several ! fine selections by the "dummies" j proved highly amusing, j Add Iloyt's Minstrels brought back ! fond memories of the olden days when (minstrel shows were prominent. Th'e I ! singing anil tambourine playing in th i act were excellent. MAX ROBERTSON.

The (harming story of Uncle Sam's possessions lias created favorable comment wherever it has been played Dealing, as it docs, with the subject I of whether a woman can hold a man's love with just her lips and her arms, or whether there is something stronger than that to hold this love, 1 is the whole subject of the play. Igu ana, the pretty Hawaiian girl, discov ers at the end that she is wrong in thinking that that is all that a man craven, and finding out that her American husband is really tired of her and wishes to go back to his peo ple, she turns to her people again, and appeases them by offering herself as a numan sacrifice In order to save thiwn from destruction.

Another series will take them still further atlcld this time to the world's highest alti tudes in the Alps—-where ranges upon ranges ot peaks robed with eternal snow and ice are unfolded during the . ascent to the summits by daring \ climbers. I .Mere mention of the titles of some of the many features will suffice to 1 give patrons some idea of the great j diversity Of subjects included in the I new program such as; A visit aboard L'ncle Sam's superdreadnaughts { "Somewhere in the Atlantic;' How ! the "middies" at the Annapolis Naval I Academy are trained to become of- I fleers of the fleet; Numbering in | Maine; Btoncho-breuking contests in j the real Wild West! A ride through the Cascade Mountains, etc., besides a host of merrymaking silhoutte mari onettes to cater to "the lighter side." The Majestie's new vaudeville bill the last half of the current week was well received by yes- Add llojt'H terday's audience. Add i Minstrels at Hoyt's Minstrels is the I •ho Majestic leading feature of the j bill, and this aggrega tion of clever comedians and singers are presenting an act that is highly entertaining. They "put over' a budget of brand-new jokes in a way that wins them many laughs, while | their song numbers are popular and I are rendered in a very pleasing man ; HIT. Walters and Walters, ventrilo quists, are a popular number on the I bill. These talented people appeared here last season, and there is no doubt but that they are winning new lau rels this year, judging from the way yesterday's audiences applauded their : efforts. Completing the list of attrae | tions are Morlin. clever piano accor dionist; an amusing comedy skit pre sented by four competent people, en i titled "The Tale of a Coat," and Jack and Jessie Gibson, novelty bicyclists. j Yesterday witnessed the first show ing of Margaret Mayo's world-famed classic, "Polly of the "Polly of Circus," in pioture I the ( Iron*" form at the Colonial nt the olonlal Theater, and. judging • C from the many favor i able comments that were heard con cerning the film, it ought to prove a 1 strong drawing card during the three , day engagement. It is a film play that holds out an appeal to young and | old alike, especially to mothers and I little children. There is not a doubt i j ful situation in the whole of the story; j not an unpleasant feature nor an un- I ; wholesome one. Mae Marsh, who won | | worldwide popularity in "The Birth of a Nation." is seen in the role of "Polly," and it is difficult to imagine a part more suitable to Miss Marsh i than this one; This heroine is dainty, i vivacious, filled with the joy of living, and is the pride of the big, rough men of the circus. It is a part Miss Marsh has made the most of. "Polly of the Circus" has bocn referred to as the [ classic of the. "big tops,' and the greatest heart drama of the circus ever written.

This noted star has been I delighting millions of motion picture i fans with his wonderful character portrayals dealing with that period of American history when all things were settled with "SUII play." To see Wil liam S. Hart In such plays is to sen the master of them all, his inexpressive face and his quick drawing of the re volver has never been approached by any stage or screen star. As an add ed attraction for to-day and to-mor row we offer George Walsh, the man with the smile, in "The Yankee Way." Kor Monday and Tuesday Harrlsburg ers will be afforded an opportunity of seeing a most remarkable picture of the present war.

RAILROADS ASK HIGHER RATES Buck New Demand With Stronger Arguments; Seek Co-operation of All Roads By Associated Press New York, Oct. 12.—Coincident with the announcement yesterday that passenger trainmen on eastern railroads would shortly present de mands for increased wages, execu tives of eastern trunk lines arranged to meet in New York to-dav and dis cuss plans for making another plea to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion for higher freight rates. The new demands ct the railroad broth crhoods for more pay will be a fac tor in the roads' petition, it was said. Hope Fur ficnoral Plea The eastern railroads hope, it is said, that the western and southern roads will also renew pleas for high er rates. Ordinarily, applications for rate increases are presented separate ly by the three districts, but in the last case, ail roadb joined in the peti tion for an increase of 15 per cent, in freight rates. The Interstate Com merce Commission In its finding last June, refused the increase asked for but granted increases of approxi mately five per cent, of the gross revenue of the carriers. Have Stronger Case The commission pointed out at the time that if the railroads felt they could present a stronger case the petition for higher rates might be renewed. Since last June, the income of southern and western roads has not fallen to the extent that the net earnings of the eastern roads are said to have dropped.
