MAJESTIC BILL
IS ENTERTAINING
Each Act Brings Much Ap
plause; Many Encores
Called; Fine Singing
Vaudeville patrons of Harrisburg
"were amply repaid for their attend
ance last evening at the Majestic the
ater. It was one of the beat programs
at the theater this year and each act
■was heartily applauded.
Beginning with Vanatta and Ger
shon, whose attractiveness was one
of the features of the show, every
act was encored. Vanatta and Ger
•shon sang and played their way into
the hearts of the audience; Morris
and Campbell, comedy entertainers,
were a scream nnd proved to be a
good second to the first act. Charles
W. Boyer's presentation of "The
Southern Misses in Mammy's Dream"
was a good pivot act and balanced
the program well. Bight pretty girls,
two colored, and each specializing
ii; either singing or dancing, follow
ed the example set by the first two
acts. Manning. Feeney and Knoll, a
singing trio rendered several songs,
and at the conclusion were forced
to respond several times to the ap
plause of the audience. They were
the best comedy singers heard in
Harrisburg for some time. Mile.
Klmina and Co. in "Alt Ala Carte,"
gave an excellent exhibition in bal
ancing.
While there were many small fea
tures that could have been eliminat
ed, the program was the best bal
anced, and one of the most enter
taining of the year.

the Orpheum Hieater on Monday
evening, next, as this city is to see
this attraction before it appears in
New York at the Norwortli Theater,
now nearlng completion in West
Forty-eighth street. and which Is to
be the permanent liorae of the or
ganization. Since the days of the
famous Weber and Fields' Theater, no
undertaking has appealed so much to
metropolitan theatergoers. It is clas
sified as a chummy musical reveue
and deals with important events of
the day In a satirical and extremely
amusing manner.
The two acts of tile piece is made
up of sixteen novel and brilliant
scenes. Originality in theme, music,
construction and costuming seems to
be the chief aim of the management.
The casts comprises many Broadway
favorites that includes: Harry Wat
son, Jr.. Lillian Lorraine, Jack Nor
worth, Laura Hamilton, Joe Herbert,
Jr., Joseph Maddern, Marjorie Poir,
Jack Edwards, Übert Carlton, Mar
garet Adair. Maclne Brown, John
Birch, Norma Phillips. Winifred Dunn,
Klinor Dayne and a chorus of beauty
and distinction.
The "Katzen jammer Kids" have
been lifted bodily from the pages of
the colored supple
"Kntrenjnnimer mcnls and planted
Kids" behind the foot
lights in one of the
funniest and altogether pleasing en
tertainments seen in many seasons. In
a new musical comedy bearing the
title "Katzenjammer Kids." which will
be presented at the Orpheum, on Tues
day, matinee and evening, the many
funny characters in this amusing
series of cartoons, disport themselves
in a manner which is said to cause
theatergoers to laugh until they are
well-nigh exhausted. The action is
fast and furious and novelty follows
novelty in lightning rapidity. The play
is produced under the direction of
Gazzolo, Gatts and Clifford, who have
provided a handsome scenic environ
ment and a chorus that is claimed
will be the talk of the town. The
book and lyrics are by David M. Wolff,
and Donald 11. Bestor wrote the musi
cal score.
"Oh. Boy." heralded as one o,f the

"Oh, Boy" is by Guy Bolton and P.

AI. Jolson has a part greatly to his
liking in Friday. He makes his first
appearance as a chauffeur, who ac
companies his millionaire employer on
a dream visit to the island home of
Robinson Crusoe. Friday, as might
be expected, is a droll, worthless sort
of a character with a strong pench

LOCAL PASTOR HA
TRUTHS ABOUT THE WAR;
TALKS TO
"High Lights of the War" was the
subject of a timely, forceful, inter
esting and educational talk last night
by the Hev. Robert Bagnell, pastor
of Grace M. E. Church. He was the
principal speaker at the monthly
meeting of the Friendship and Co
operation Club for Railroad lien. It
was held in Eagle's Hall, Sixth and
Cumberland streets, and was attend,
ed by 100 members, including prom,
inent railroad officials frpm Altoona
and this city.
The Rev. Dr. Bagnell did not
mince words, but hit straight from
the shoulder when he pointed out
the work allotted to every citizen
of America. His outline of present
c onditions was an interesting feature.
He told what the various armies
were doing and pointed out the prob
able results. He was of the opinion
that the war would be over next
year, soon after the American Army
got busy.
The speaker made a strong plea
for the American soldiers and urged
all present to help in every way pos
sible. He called attention to the Day
of Prayer on Sunday for the Amer
ican soldier boys and expressed a
hope that every man do his bit on
that day. The Rev. Dr. Bagnell
called attention to the many dan
gers encountered by the soldiers at
the various camps, in the way of
temptations, and pointed out ways to
overcome this. "Clean soldiers make
good fighters," he said, and "with
the help of the grace of God we
must see that they are given every
opportunity to keep clean. Pray fo
them, and encourage the soldiers in

best wishes for their continued suc

Many present expressed regret on
the departure of Mr. McCaleb and
referred to his good work here and
to the high esteem in which he was
held by railroad men. Following
these talks a rising vote of thanks
was tendered Superintendent Mc-
Caleb, in which the best wishes o'
all were also expressed.
The Rev. Dr. Bagnell was also re

thanks, the members rising and ex

AT EARLY DATE
Pennsy Officials Ask For Con
trol of Another Impor
tant Branch
In line with the suggestion for con
solidating all the, railroads of the
country into a few powerful systems
for more direct supervision in opera
tion and substantial saving n ex
pense, as strongly urged by Samuel
Rea, president of the Pennsylvania
railroad system, before the National
Association of Railroad Commission
ers at Washington last week, the
Pennsylvania has taken an important
step in this direction by a plan to ab
sorb the Philadelphia, Raltjmore and
Washington railroad into its system.
A meeting of stockholders of the
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington railroad has been called for
November 7. to vote upon leasing the
road to the Pennsylvania for 999
years from January 1, 1918. The
Pennsylvania railroad owns all but
twenty'or thirty shares of the small
er road and operates it as the south
ern link of its 25,000-mile system.
The advantage of the merger, it is.
asserted, will be the operation of the
road directly by Pennsylvania rail
road officials without maintaining a
special corps of officers and direc
tors. It also will eliminate what Mr.
Rea has referred to as a "needless
accounting department."
Mr. Rea. who is a member of the
Railroad War Board at Washington,
working with the Council of National
Defense in keeping open the rail
transportation lines during the war,
in citing the necessity for a closer
combination or the railroads before
the State Railroad Commissions said:
"The day has come for the con
solidation and unification of railroad
systems. No fewer than 2,385 sep
arate railroad corporations report to
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion, and l hazard the guess that at
least 2,300 of them could be merged
into the bigger systems with the vast
benefit to the public and every one
else concerned.
"There are still in the Pennsylva
nia railroad system about 115 active
transportation companies, ail neces
sary, as matters now stand, for the
conduct of the service. I think we
will all agree that this is Just 114
too many. But when we reflect that
they represent what were originally
more than 600 separately Incorpor
ated companies, we can feel that
some progress is being made in the
right direction."
The Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington is only one of the large
Pennsylvania subsidiaries to be
brought within the direct operation
of the parent company within a
comparatively recent time. Only a
few months ago the Panhandle and
the Vandalia systems, subsidiary
units of the Pennsylvania Company
on the lines west of Pittsburgh, were
merged and their individual organiz
ations abolished. The Northern Cen
i tral likewise was taken over under
the consolidation plan and many
smaller roads lost their identity in a
similar manner.
The Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington Railroad pays dividends
of fi per cent on its $25,138,000 cf
capital stock. This same rate will be
i continued under the lease proposal
and a fixed annual rental will be
I established. The main line of the
; Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
i ington Railroad reaches from Phila
! delphia to AVashington, a distance of
131 miles. Including branches and
lines operated under contracts, leases
and trackage rights, the total mile
age operated is fi9 8 miles. The main
; line forms the chief stem of commu
; nication for the Pennsylvania pail
road system with Washington and
the South.

There were also discussions and
criticisms regarding efforts to belit
tle the principles followed by the
Friendship and Co-operation Club by
many who were socialistically in
clined. Socialism as practiced by
some was given a hard jolt. General
Superintendent McCaleb. in his re
marks, said the organization had
justified Its name by carrying out its,
principles and that many wrongs
were righted because of the oppor
tunity for the employer and employe
to meet and discuss questions of im
portance.

Al Jolson as Friday in "Robinson Crusoe, Jr."
> / y . s
Al. .Tolson Is booked to appear a
the Orpheum Theater, Friday, Novem
ber 2.
AH usual, Jolson is at the head of
a higr musical comedy, said to he a
most ambitious and elaborate produc
tion. sent forth from the New York
Winter Garden —"Kobinson Crusoe,
Jr." The entire original cast that
pleased Broadway an entire spring
and summer, and the Winter Garden's
far-famed beauty brigade accom
panies the favorite comedian. Among
the Great White Way favorites are:
D'Grsay, Kitty Doner, Mabel
Withee, Kowers, Crooker and Wal
ters, Grace and Berkes, Harry Kear
ley, William Kinley, Adolph Blome,
George Thornton, Trixie Raymond
and many others.
Jolson is in the enjoyment of the
happiest role of his life in "Good Fri
day," dear to the heart of childhood.
His adventures with cannibals, pi
rates. sprites and things that might
be Iboked for only on a desert isle,
afford unlimited opportunity for fun
and frolic. Of course, Jolson has a
flock of songs. Among them might
be cited. "Down Where the Suwanee
River Flows." "Mammy's Little Coal
Black Hose," "Yacki Hicki Doola,"
Tillie Titwillow," "Where the Black
eyed Susans Grow," "On the Koad to
Wai Kai Ki," and many others, in
cluding one that has reached long
ahead of the show —"Where Did Itob
inson Crusoe Go With Friday on Sat
urday Night?"
The production, as advertised, is un
usually heavy and elaborate, requir
ing. with the big cast of nearly 200,
a special train for transportation.
Costumes and scenery, like personnel,
are fresh and spick and span.

Melbourne, Vic.—H. N. Wollaston,
chairman of the federal board exer

of the board's work. He pointed
out that they were dealing with 770
theaters. Having been recently es

able to censor the thousands of films
already in circulation, with the re
sult that a number of objectionable
pictures could not be condemned.
Toward the end of August, however,
the Commonwealth board had re
ceived power to revoke any regis
tration. whenever made. Out of
