In "The Knife," Mr. Walter has

From the beginning of the play until

Brieflly, the story of "The Knife"
concerns a high-bred Virginia girl,

teriously drops out of sight. Her dis
tracted fiance appeals to a young law
yer friend, a former associate of the
district attorney, to find her without

TUESDAY EVENING,
EUGENE WALTER'S NEWEST
'THE KNIFE; AT ORPHEUM TOMORROW NIGHT
) .
The Messrs. Shubert will present Eugene Walter's thrilling melodrama,
"The Knife," at the Orpheum, to-morrow evening. It is generally admitted
that Mr. Walter lias produced in "The Knife" one of the greatest of mod
ern melodramas, taking rank in plot and character developments with his
fatuous "Paid In Full. Tills play Is generally recommended to theater
goers who desiro a maximum of entertainment in their theatrical amuse
ment. The theme of "The Knife" concerns a physician who, out of an al
truistic spirit of revenge for an outrage upon his llancee, dissects crimii
nals as ho would rabbits and* guinea pigs. His sweetheart, a young Vir
ginia girl, disappears while on a shopping tour in New York. After what
seems a vain pursuit, she is found in a precarious condition. It is then that
the lover, inspired by his sense of humanity, decides to benefit mankind by
means of medicine and surgery. What follows when his inspiration is put
to a test is fascinatingly told by Mr. Walter.
big cities of the United States and
England. It holds a record of a year's
run in New York, a twenty-live weeks
season in Chicago, a year in Dondon
nnd a ten weeks' engagement in Sari
Francisco, where no other play had
prior to that been offered at the $2
scale of prices for an engagement
longer than three weeks. The stage
story is a dramatization of the famous
"Daddy l-.ong-I_.egs" letters, which
were written by Jean Webster, a niece
of the late Mark Twain, and which
were published by one of the big
monthly magazines nearly three
years ago. The success of the play
is known to every theatergoer in the
United States, Australia and England,
and it is only necessary to add that
Henry Miller's production is worthy
of the charming love story.
A two-day engagement of Metro's
six-reel production, "The Adopted
Son," opens at the
lluNhmnn and Colonial Theater to-
Hnyne at day. The "leading
the Colonial roles are handled by
the screen's popular
co-stars, Francis X. Bushman and
Beverly Bayne, and the work of each
is of such a character as to leave lit
tle, if any room for criticism. Mr.
Bushman Is given a part that will
more firmly intrench him in the
hearts of his many admirers, and Miss
Bayne, beautiful as ever. Is not owly
pleasing to look at. but displays un
usual talent as well. She has a part
that calls for a great deal of emo
tional acting, a part that could be
easilv overdone by many actresses,
but which is given the correct inter
pretation by Miss Bayne. The action
of the play is swift and fast and is
sure to be enjoyed.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
the third of the widely-advertised
Goldwyn pictures, "Fighting Odds,"
.with beautiful Maxine Elliott in the
stellar role, will be shown.
The headline feature of (he bill at
the Majestic the first half of the pres
ent week is the Six Vir-
The ginia Steppers, a sextet of
>1 ivies tie clever dancers, who are pre
lim senting one of the prettiest
dance offerings in vaude
ville. Their numbers are lively and
fast and are well done. A popu'ar
number on the bill is McNally, Dinus
and PeWolf a trio of comedy variety
entertainers, who have a line of
bright, snappy comedy and sing some
songs in lively fashion. It is the kind
of act guaranteed to put "pep" into
anv vaudeville show. Other acts of
merit included on the program are
The Glockers, in a water-juggling
novelty; Barry and Wolford, young
couple, introducing some good com
edy, and singing a numbej- of songs
and parodies, and one other comedy
turn.

HARRISBURG tdSßhl TELEGRAPH
TRAFFIC BOOST
IN LONG TRAINS
War Board Fears Proposed
Legislation Will Break Up
Present Efficient System
Washington, D. C., Nov. 6.—A se
rious blow at the efficiency of the
Krtat transportation system of the
country In handling war shipments
will bo struck at the next Congress,
when the railroad brotherhoods will
attempt to put through legislation to
limit the length of freight trains.
Such Jeglslatlon, if enacted, will, it
is aid, materially Interfere with the
war plans of the government, and in
i the transportation of supplies for the
American allied armies to Atlan
tic coast ports for overseas traffic.
Pfspito the fact that some of the
greatest railroad operators in the
country have Indorsed the long-train
system of shipping freight, reports
here say that the railroad brother
hoods have in mind the intention of
reducing the number of cars to each
train, in order that faster runs may
he made, resulting In increased pay
to employes.
■Since the entrance of the United
States into the war the Railroad War
Board, composed of some of the most
experienced operators in the coun
try, have urged the long-train sys'-
tom as the solution of the problem
of freight congestion, as well as the
hnndiing of troops and supplies with
in the states.
That this system has saved the sit
uation is shown by the fact that the
railroads have succeeded In hauling
twenty per cent, more tonnage than
in the peak year 1916. With the
unprecedented demands made upon
the tron and steel industries and
upon the mines of the country for
war materials and coal, railroad of
ficials In Washington, who are co
operating .with the government in
handling the transportation problems
arising from the war, view with
alarm the possibility of the enact
ment of laws reducing the length of
trains. Only by means of long, heav
ily loaded trains can the necessary
supplies reach the terminals, they
say.
If they are compelled greatly to
increase the amount of rolling stock,
which would be made necessary by
shorter trains, a serious situation
would be faced by the war industries
demanding steel and other raw ma
terials, which the transportation sys
tems? would have to have In order
to augment the number of cards and
locomotives.
War Itoard Efficiency
The marked efficiency of the Rail
road War Board In handling war
supplies is shown by the fact that
through the inauguration of the long
train system, two trains can now
carry as much freight as it formerly
required three to handle.
Particularly on the eastern roads,
where the war shipments are most
heavy, the average train load was
increased from 478 tons in 1910 to
675 tens in 1915. Until the Railroad
War Board took a hand In co-operat
ing with the government, this estab
lished "a record. As a result of their
woik, the train load in April of this
year was increased to 738 tons; In
June to 815 tons, and in July to 783
tons. This makes an average train
load for the four months of 782 tons
as compared with 705 tons in the
same period of last year.
Trainmen Ready With
Plans For Wage Increase
Chicago, Nov. 6.—Officials of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen |
and the Order of Railway Conductors j
left here yesterday after four days'
of deliberations, prepared to submit;
wage-increase demands to the rail-1
road managers within the next three \
weeks. It is said the demand will
be for an increase of approximately
16 per cent. The action will affect
more than 200,000 ratlroad em
ployes.
W. G. Bee, president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,:
declared "the increase is based sole
ly upon the. increased cost of living
in these times," and the action of
the conferees is final. These demands
do not include the members of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers and the Brotherhood of Flre
ment and Enginemen.

SAHD, PLEASE!
Folks on tlie Reservoir Line Arc
Certainly Sliding Around These
Days, Due to Energetic. I'sc or
Street Car Controllers
By A 1 Jcsstip
Women are throwing themselves
into the arms of men they never saw
before, on the Reservoir Park lines,
Harrisburg Railways Company.
There's a new bunch of motormen
broncho-busting out that way. The
ears go full speed until they're ten
feet from a corner—and then the
•wheels lock under the airbrakes and
the cars slide to a stop. Urider or
dinary circumstances that would
mean flat wheels, but one trip around
the horn means a round wheel agam.
If the cars stopped at Thirteenth and
Market the wheels would be octagon
shaped. '
The old familiar faces of the mo
tormen whfi knew where every one
lived are missing. Some of them
are bending pipe at the Pipe Bending
works. A new lot of controllsr
handlers is working. Every one of
them is an expert at stopping inside
a car length. Of course that means
that what's inside the car keeps go
ing, but there's an iron rail between
the motorman and the passengers—
they can't, hurt him.
"Old Dutch" is the last of the
old-timers. He is the one remaining
persiflager on the Reservoir lines.
Folks are so lonesome for persiflage
that they're taking to waiting for
this motorman. His car is the only
smoothrider on the belt line.
"Why don't you make your car
do tricks, too?" a lad said to "Old
Dutch" this morning.
"Who, me?" he hissed. "Ven to
break mustanks by a street car .he
day isssss here, I am goink to be a
Shyanne, Vyomlnk."
They're thinking of taking up a
collection for "Old Dutch," as well as
his shining faced conductor. They're
so different.
It used to be that the motorman
who had been on the Reservoir line
three weeks was half way 'round on
his second trip, but not any more—
not any more.
Gregory Would Remove
Aliens From Coast Line
I Washington. Nov. 6. Attorney
General Gregory declared to-day that
no orders had been given to remove
enemy allefls 100 miles from the coast
line, where they could not occupy ob
servations posts, but indicated that
the Government was seriously consid
ering what steps should be taken to
see that they are in no position to
gather information of value to the
enemy.
The attention of the secret service
arms of the Government have been
directed for some time to the fact
that Germans and German sympa
thizers near the coast, with practical
ly no restrictions on their activities,
were in position to observe the Gov
ernment's war activities to a great
degree and might do much harm by
communicating them.
Red Cross Melting Pot
Gathers Much Gold
The little copper kettle which
hangs on a tripod in the window at
Red Cross headquarters, 206 Walnut

pot" for in it are thrown all sorts
of odds and ends and valuable things,
too. Among the new articles is a
wedding ring with the inscription,
"Oscar to Sophie, 1864," on the in
side. A crumpled Chinese tea can,
two dozen aluminum plates, a vanity
box of gold, inlaid with curious carv
ing, a cigaret case, watch fobs,
tinfoil and mutilated money, these
are some of the things which are In
the kettle. An old sliver dollar cut in
two parts by some vandal. Is there,

To-night sure! Remove the liver

your head dizzy, your tongue coat

sour. Don't stay bilious, sick, head
achy, constipated and ful of cold.
Why don't you get a box of tasca

one or two to-night and enjoy the
nicest, gentlest liver and bowel clean

feverish children a whole
any time. They are harmless and
children love them.
