[|AMUSEIg[MENTC}g MAJESTIC SHOW IS ENTERTAINING Clever Acts at Vaudeville Theater; Girl Accordion Player Is a Feature The program for the first half of the week at the Majestic Theater is uric of the best that has been present ed there in weeks. The bill is well balanced with just enough music and just enough comedy to make the show entertaining and one that will be re membered. Walter Ward and Useless start the program with a novel cycling act. Mr. Ward has succeeded in working out one or two new tricks on wheels, making his offering a little more un usual than most of the cycling acts in vaudeville. LaMont and Wright have a clever musical and dance skit. Florence ltandall and company, in a comedy sketch, "A Temperance Woman," keep the audience laughing much of the time. The last two acts on the program are even better than the preceding ones. Flavilla, the girl accordionist, while she uses a smaller accordion than most of the players on the vau deville stage, has remarkable ability and control. That she is the equal ot :i number of the other more widely known artists playing the accordion is the opinion of many who heard Flavilla yesterday. Her playing of the "Sextet from Lucia." last even ing, was excellent, and the medley of patriotic songs also pleased her audience. "The Uneeda Girls," with i I i Girls!

The Cellar No Place For Food Products MANY housewives use the cellar for storing foodstuffs when they shoukl use ice. It is this constant running down and up stairs that wears women out. 1 liink of the hundreds of steps that can be saved each day by using a well-iced refrigera tor. A damp, dusty cellar is not the right place for keeping food. Dampness breeds germs, there are millions of them on the cellar floor, walls and ceiling. It' is frequently said, "Mother used this cellar all her life; I guess I can do the same." Yes, and Mother used kerosene lamps and tallow candles.

Richard "The Bird of Walton Tully, the au -I'nradlxc" thor, presents an al -I'o-morroiv luring regime in a beautiful land. The scene is Hawaii, and the tale of ro mance, intrigue and superstition is carefully woven. The period is in the early '!)o's. Luana, a native princess, fails in love with Dr. Wilson, an American, who has come to Hawaii for the bacillus of leprosy. Instead, he marries the little girl and gradu ally sinks lower and lower. Mr. Mo- rosco, under whose direction the piece ia produced, has collected a clever cast, headed by Celete Scudder, a 19- year-old actress of exceptional ability. It Is said to be a big play that grips the heart and brings the sob to tne voice. Richard Walton Tully has spent years on the peals that rise out or the warm waters of the South Pa cific. and the claim is made that the tropical atmosphere of our distant in sular possession is faithfully repro duced in "The Bird of Papadise." Oliver Morosco's stage settings have received unstinted praise for their truthfulness. A native Hawaiian band of singers will sing the plain tive Ikahula and other songs of the South Seas during the action of the Play. Since Lyman H. Howe's Travel Fes tival is so well known here, it seems _ v hardly necessary Our S4eel-Clad to emphasize the Armaria, Aligned pleasure that is For Action in store for the local patrons when Mr. Howe will present his new pro duction at the Orpheum, Friday and Saturday, with daily matinees. On'e of its big- features takes spectators aboard our steel-clad Armada "Some where in the Atlantic," and shows it alert ar,d aligned for any possible con tingency in these momentous days. It opens up for every spectator new vis ions and conceptions of the might and magnitude of our floating fortresses and of the incidents, duties and ac tivities that characterize the life of the fleet keyed up for instant action. Part of this series also shows how the "middies" at the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, are trained and developed as navigators, artillerists, engineers, etc., to qualify them as commanders of the fleet. Superb views of the adventures of Alpine climbers in ascending Mt. Blanc; tense moments during bron cho-breaking contests, in which both cowgirls as well as cowboys of the real Wild West vie with each other in taming the most spirited animals: a "trick" film, showing a thrilling but imaginary "battle in the air" over London between a British airman and a huge raiding Zeppelin, which ends in the rout and wreck of the latter, and a ride over the Cascade Moun tains, in Washington via the Great Northern Railway, are only a few of the many other notable scenes In cluded in the new program. "Oh, Boy," ran an entire season in musical comedy hit of the season and the fourth and most success "Oli, ful of-the New York Princess Iloy" Theater productions, will come to the Orpheum, Wednesday, I matinee and night, October 31.

The act car ries special scemic equipment and is well presented by a company of nine people. An added attraction on the bill is Florence Randall and company, offering an amusing comedy playlet entitled "A Temperance Woman.' The laughs come thick and fast in the act. and keep the audience in a good hu mor. Other acts of merit are: Fla villa, pleasing piano acordionist; Wright and two girls in an artistic vocal and instrumental musi cal offering, and Walter Ward and Useless, clever comedy bicyclists.

This is a return en gagement of this picture, which is brimful of action and romance, and shows Hart in a role that Is admir ably suited to his talents, that of Jim Houston, the "Shootin' Iron" Parson, who arrives in a little western town to establish a church. A notable cast, including such players as Dorothy Dalton, Robert McKim and little Thelma Salter, were engaged for this production. To-morrow only—Marc MacDer mott. the distinguished Vitagraph star, will appear in a comedy-drama entitled "Mary Jane's Pa."

Owing to the almost invariable suc cess of this remedy most druggists now keep It put up ready for use under the name of Bi-nesia and give with each bottle a binding guarantee of satisfaction or money back.

Three of the great coal-producing states, Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, are facing the possibility of a coal famine. These ure some of the developments of past day. * Shipments Below Needs. Coal dealers are having troubles J of their own these days. Coal ship-; ments are below the present needs," to say nothing of the coming months when a pronounced drop in the tem perature will mean a greatly in creased demand. Coupled with the shortage of coal v is the fact that prices may change overnight. Prices May Jump. Dealers do not hold out the hope | that anthracite prices drop. On the ; contrary, as the winter sets in with a probable shortage of labor, it is likely that the average householder will be asked to pay prices slightly higher than those now in force. Many dealers confess that they are at a loss to determine the exact mar gin of profit enjoyed in 1916, and In some Instances, at least, the present prices are a natter of guess work. One Harrlsburg dealer is charging on an average about fifteen cents a ton less than he charged last month. The prices are subject to change at any time. On November 1 the deal era will he expected to balance their books and announce a new sched ule, which will be effective for two weeks. Prices Differ. No two dealers -are asking the same prices. The prices in this city do not vary greatly. In Philadel phia and other cities prices vary from twentyifive cents to ninety-five cents a ton. The Pennsylvania Retail Coal Merchants' Association has offered suggestions in connection with fixing a flat rate on the various grades of anthracite sold in this state. Frank G. Wallis, head of the Wal lis Coal Company, of this city, anrl president of the Pennsylvania Retail Coal Merchants' Association, said that no thought of "price-fixing had been in the minds of officials In the preparation of the circular. He said: "The purpose of the association was to aid the members only. It is remarkable how few the retail men thoroughly understand the Govern ment regulations as issued by Dr. Garfield. Whether they have stud ied them I do not know, but many of them are having difficulties in ar riving at their prices. "There is no attempt on the part of the association or the members to gouge the public. Almost every re tailer will have a different price, depending" upon where he gets his coal, whether from the Reading or the independents, who charge sev enty-five cents a ton more. And then it will be necessary to change prices every two weeks. Coal that may sell now for $6.95 a ton, may be $7.12 two weeks hence and $6.75 a month I from now." Wellington M. Bertolet, secretary and attorney for the association, ex pressed surprise that ulterior reasons for issuing the circular should be charged. When Interviewed at Read ing, Pa., Mr. Bertolet said: Sees Uniform Trice "X am very well pleased that it Vigorous Men and Women Are in Demand If your ambition has left you, your happiness has gone forever unless you take advantage of H.

"The men who Bee a conspiracy in | the bulletin flatter the coal dealers! with being men o£ vastly superior in-! telligence.

As a matter of fact, however, the coal dealer in! just a plain businessman, like anyl other merchant, and to be con fronted with a situation like this! makes it hard for him to get, at short! notice, every detail of what the gov-| ernment really wants. He must not ony hunt up his prices of two years I ago, if he was in business at that; time, but he must also see that hia l new prices do not exceed the $2 limit of profit imposed by the government, i He must further repeat this process i every two weeks or half month, the l process involving an estimate of howl much coal lie has on hand, what! that coal cost him, whether it was! company coal or independent nilnej ooal and must revise his rates period ically to keep within the government! order.

Others are afraid, from newspaper stories, that they are going to go to jail and several state association members have actually gone out of! business: "There is no intention to evade the j law. Coal dealers want to obey the i lav/ and the government order, but I a great many have been looking for j individual notice from the govern ment when to put order into ef- j feet. One reason the bulletin was is-. sued was to make it plain to the I dealers that the government will not I Issue individual notice to each dealer! and to show them that the law Is in effect, just as if the State legislature had passed an act without giving each individual in the state a per sonal notice that it had gone into ef fect. "The coal dealer is the' first re tailer hit directly by the govern ment's price-fixing operations. There is naturally some resentment among them. The retailers have not yet be come accustomed to the new order of things, and if they have to sell at a price under what they think is the real value of their commodity at this time. It is because not one of them is getting more than a living out of the business. The coal dealer Is a target for too much unfair criti cism."
