"Mother Carey's Chickens." a com edy In three acts by Kate Douglas Wiggin and P.achol ' roth ♦•Mothor ers, from tho charming C'nrey'n and highly popular book liicken*" of the same name bv .Miss Wiggin, will be the at traction at the Orpheum for an en- i KHgement of two days beginning to morrow with a Wednesday matinee, under the management of John Cort. I Probably none of the many stories from the pen of Kate Douglas ig gin has more of the spirit of real ( humanity than "Mother 1 , 8 . r . e \? I t'hickens." One can anticipate delight , in tiie plav vhen assured that none of the beautiful atmosphere has been displaced in th<- stage version, but that the appeal is emphasized, and in its dramatic form, It is as worthy and HS splendid as the original in book form. Staged with exceeding the historic "Yellow House at Heulali. New Hampshire, is idealized and exalted as a home of love and sacrifice. To the long unused house. Mother Oarrv comes with her brood or children Nancy. Gilbert, Kathleen and Peter, and there Is enacted a drama that, reveals some of the noblest of human trials and emotions. It is made a domestic paradise, with only an occasional clouo, which, as soon aw it ventures to show itself, is chased away, leaving the sun shining brighter than ever, Having put their all in*o the house, the Careys learn with dis may that they may not be tho owners of it after all, as a queer will Is f''""' l in the old brick oven bequeathing It .to the son of the former owner. This son. Tom Hamilton, returns from abroad, but tho holr-at-law finds Cupid better than ft bequest, nnd tne Carevs are not divorced from tho "Yellow' House" annex to heaven. The thousands of theatergoers who are familiar with A. 11. Woods suc cess as a producer of fat ce '•Mnrv's comedies, will be Interested Vnkle" in the announcement that his latest farce hit. "Mary s Ankle." will be presented at the Or pheum Friday night and Satur dav. .atlnee and night. Mary s i Ankle" is in three acts and is the! work of May Tully. It scored a well merited success and universal ap proval during its three months' run in I New York, because of its novel treat ment, amusing plot and brisk dialog". The New York Globe said it was as good farce as "The Boomerang or "Turn to the Right" was comedy. It would be unfair to divulge the plot-of the piece, but it may be best described as a complicated honeymoon. Not the least of the play's merits are the superb production and brilliant com pany. Cleveland Bronner and Company's remarkable dance production called "Dream Fontas **Drenm Fantasies" ies," headlines nt the Majestic the hill at the Majestic the be ginning of the week, "yhe stuff that dreams are made of" is the way the act has been described, because it is .said to be one of the moSt weird, changeful and beautiful acts that vaudeville has offered to the public. Mr. Bronner and Company (the com pany being two exceptionally lo\'ely and talented girls) present this offer ing. which owes much to the Russian ballet for its inspiration, but which has a quality entirely original. The whole act is weird and unique and contains no dull moments. Grouped around this unusual headliner are the Greater City Four, an excellent com edy male quartet; William Dick, pre senting a lively comedy and instru mental musical offering; Arthur Sul livan and company, in the comedy playlet, "A Drawing From Life," and one other comedy act. Clara Kimball Young, popular fa vorite of the screen, will be the big attraction at the Co f'lnra Kimball lonial Theater the Young at iirst three days of the the Colonial present week. Miss Young io seen as the star in "Magda," supported by her own company, in a screen version of the famous drama by Herman Suder raann. It tells the story of a young girl unkindly thrust out into the world by an overbearing and dicta torial father, how she works out her own salvation and in the end wins peace and happiness. As an emotional role "Magda" is said to provide the beautiful star with a powerful vehicle. "Magda" was enacted by Bernhardt and Duse on the legitimate boards, and the play is one of the classic j of modern tiirres. The cast chosen for this production is a notable one, and 1 includes Thomas Holding, prominent in film circles, and Miss Young's father. Edward Kimball. One of the motion picture sensations of the day is unquestionably "The Spy," which will be "The Spy," nt presented at the Vlc the Victoria toria Theater to-dat to-morrow and W"W esday, featuring: the famous star, Dus tln Farnum; supported b. yan all-star cast. "The Spy is based upon the FOR CONSTIPATION have stood the test of time. H Purely vegetable. Wonderfully quick to banish biliousness, headache, Indigestion and to clear up a bad complexion.

This play has the sweet charm of motherhood, coupled with the optimistic view that dispels gloom at one stroke. The character of Mother Carey is an actual advance upon anything that Miss Wiggin has hitherto done in play or book form. The almost immortal "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." was never more cap tivating than the winsome and bewitching Nancy Carey, the oldest of the Carey children. It will be seen locally at the Orpheum for two days, com pienci'ng Tuesday. German spy system so that the Amerl- ; tan people may be made to realize to j what ends Germany will —go to ac- '• complish her aims. It Is no longer a : secret that there were at one time up- [ wards of 10,000 trained agents of the Kaiser in America. It is also a mat- , ter of public information that the de- j signs tor the mighty guns used by • the Germans to batter down the sup- | posed impregnable forts at Namur and Liege in Belgium were stolen from I the Patent Office at the Capitol. Just j recently the German Foreign Office frankly admitted that it instigated | the Mexican-Japanese plot against , the United States. That the Germans I sought to secure control of the Wright j airplane factory, to cornet the sup- j pjy of liquid chlorine, to buy up news- , papers and had planned to destroy are j well-known facts. The German spy is everywhere and with this thought in mind William Fox presents "The Spy" as an expose of their plots—] plots that for wanton wickedness are ' without parallel in the world's his- | tory. By all means see this re markable indictment, this revelation : to-day, to-morrow and Wednesday j only.

A brief outline of its story would reveal a plot which has been filmed and novelized since the begin ning of time perhaps, but this ver sion of an old idea is unusual, and a unique character study. It is said to be human, logical and true. It gets under the emotions where other ver sions fail to even scratch them. And this is true of the story prin cipally because of Elsie Ferguson's art. set in an Artcraft production. Few actresses have been so successful in transferring to the screen that beauty and talent which elevated her to the front ranks of stage stars. This, her second vehicle, gives her a better acting opportunity than did "Barbary Sheep." Some of her ad mirers will be inclined to think she is miscast in the role of Jennie. "As a 15-year-old girl of the reformatory, then a lady's maid, she is unlike the exquisite Elsie Ferguson of drawing room roles, but. on the other hund, Jennie is an unusually versatile role, and Miss Ferguson makes her a real personality.

Great War Relief Fund Planned by Lutherans To manifest their patriotism and ' help the men in the service, both spiritually and temporarily, at home and abroad, the Lutherans of the I entire country have bound them* selves together to raise a war reller] fund <Jf $250,000,000, the greatest in j the country. During the last few , months the Lutheran denomination ; has expressed itself frequently an I anxious to have a large, representa- i i tion in the work of war relief, and I though many of its members are of j j German extraction the various local , I organizations have vied with each 1 other in giving material help to the j auxiliary societies, working in the interest of the soldiers and sailors. ! It was only a few weeks ago, how | ever, that the church conceived the! (idea of working as one enormous i agency, in which the activities of the' church should be under' j one head, and directed from one cen- I i tral council. After various efforts to reach the J 11 different branches of the church I ir. the United States, the prospect | teck definite form last Wednesday,! when delegates sent from all thei | branches held a meeting in New| | York and prepared plans for the great campaign of war relief.

About a dozen cards were received from Wlco r.isco, A special appeal was made bv Mrs Chamberlain to the workers and the students In the various Red Cross classes. "These people are of the ut most value to their country as well as to the local chapter, Red Cross I urgently request all Red Cross work- I ers to show that they are willing to help the nation in the hour of need " Among the recent registrations were two telephone operators, who volunteered to do Government tele phone servlee In either the Armv or ■ the Navy. The grand total of registrations for the entire county is approximately s 225 cards. "This Is a pitifully small • percentage of the county's 30 000 wo - Men." said Mrs. Chamberlain. ISAAC R.

FARMERS MODELS FOR ALL PENNA. Have Nearly Doubled Crops, Rought Liberty Ronds and Organized Home Police Cumberland county farmers have responded patriotically to the gov ernment's call for increased crops, according to Alfred Jenkins, secre tary of the Carlisle Chamber of Co.nmerce, who told the Harrisburg Rotary Club, which he addressed a< luncheon in the Y. M. C. A. to-day. that Whereas the crops of 1916 in that county were estimated as worth only $4,500,000, those of this year were valued by experts as worth $6,- 750,000, and in addition the farmer?, bought $750,000 worth of liberty Bonds, and have helped organize a home defense police corps of 477 men that is to be the model over hwicli every county will form sim ilar units. Mr. Jenkins represented Lewis Sadler, one of the pioneers of the public safety movement in Pei.nsyl vanla, who was unable to be pres ent. He was introduced by Adju tant General Beary, wno said that while the calling of the National Guard into the service of the nation left Pennsylvania with the best po lice organization in the country, the state police, of which Captain Lumb, president of the Rotary Club is the head, the force is too small to meet the need:-; of the emergency. Some thing more, also, than the new Re serve Militia, which canno't be called out until an overt act is committed, alro is needed, the general said, and this has been found in the home defense police formed in Cumberland county. Mr. Jenkins complimented Mr. Sodler for the work he has done, along the lines of organizing tne county for all manner of war work. The new home defense '/ollce cover every section of the county and are composed of men of tested loyalty. There are thirty-seven units and 4(7 members and they meet at Car lisle at frequent intervals for in struction. At homo they keep a sharp lookout for suspicious characters, and aj-e under oath as special offi cers ol the state to make such ar rests as may be necessary. In cast of public disturbance they can be gathered from all parts of the county and rushed to any one part by regularly organized motor truck trains, the use of which is volun teered by their owners. The Cumberland county organiza tion has a secretary who has his offices in the Carlisle Chamber ot Commerce and can be reache.d at all times. William Ellis, of Philadel phia, has been authorized to form similar organizations throughout the stat£. Dauphin county included. Mr. Jenkins told the Rotarians of 'the manj lines of work for conser vation and increase of production wcrked out in Cumberland county under the leadership of Mr. Sad ler. FRANCCMSRITISH NEAR ITALIAN FRONT [Continued from First Page.] the point where the lighting was heaviest. i Throughout yesterday and to-day I the battle in the mountains had de i veloped in a steady succession of I heavy attacks and counterattacks with occasional brief intervals for reforming the lines and reorganizing new positions. Twelve different enemy assaults had been made with in five hours preceding the corre spondent's visit to headquarters, but the Italian lines had not yielded a foot of ground and General Dl G<jri gio, while grave before the struggle i his men were making against tre mendous odds, was calm and confl- I dent the defensive line would hold I until reinforcements were swung into I the fighting line. Staff officers from headquarters I were taking the trip along the line | and the route lay straight north of j the fighting zone. Soon there were evidences of a bitter struggle Just ahead, for along the route long lines of Italian infantry decimated in the last few days were reforming to re turn to the fight. They showed the fearful strain they had been under but there was no trace of wavering, and the long lines breathed a spirit of eagerness. In another zone a sight which! stirred the blood was when solid ranks of allied reinforcements crowded the roads. Already they were within sound of the rumble of the guns and the roar of the battle oft in the distance could be heard above the gallop of the cavalry, the tramp of the infantry and the clamor of the batteries and supply trains. It was a dark day, with a gray sky, but the whole scene seemed to lighten up as the color of the Italian gray was tinted everywhere with British khaki and French blue. They had been on the march eight days, making more than 16 miles a day. Rich and Poor, Old and Young Give to Melting Pot Harrisburg people have learned how to give. The melting pot, which swings on its tripod in the window of Red Cross Headquarters, 206 Walnut street, shows this. Poor and rich, young and old come In and give their valuables to the cause of war relief. Among the odd and valuable treasures which were recently received is a solid gold watch and an engraving plate used for printing 25-cent script notes, commonly known as "shin-plasters." These two contributions were made by Miss Mary Robinson, 7 South Front street. * Approximately $l4O was realized by the local chapter, from the sale of contents of the melting pot. Fifty pounds of tinfoil came from the chil dren of the city, light brass amounted to twenty-four pounds, aluminum and silver amounted to five pounds, and 110 pounds of lad were received. When the headquarters are moved to the Public Library In the next few days, the melting pot will be kept boiling at Fager school building.

DAVENPORT'S "Architects of Appetites'* 325 Market St. MAY HAVE TO CUT OFF TRAINS Government Needs Require More Attention; Will Not Remove Flier War traffic necessities are press ing upon the railroads of the country so as to urge further measures to clear the tracks for freight which has to go In order to keep the Indus tries of the United States going and ' the people supplied with food and j fuel. Fast de luxe passenger trains which can be dispensed with are about to be taken oft. The Pennsylvania Railroad will drop some, but Just what ones is not fully determined. Yesterday the Bal timore and Ohio announced with drawal of several through express ; and some local trains. Both the | Pennsylvania Railroad and the Bal- | timore and Ohio are swamped with ' trainc. Embargo orders go here and there in endless stream. These two systems are so located as to feel the greatest crush because they handle enormous coal and coke tonnage and serve a highly developed industrial territory. These have been days when | the Pennsylvania Railroad has not | had more than 30 per cent, of the cars demanded by the coal operators on its llnea. May Not Remove Pliers There is reason to believe that the Rea management is prepared to fol low the Cassatt move and take off the New York-Chicago flier. Mr. Cas satt Induced the New York Central to slow the Twentieth Century Lim ited. Passenger traffic will be cared for. As to that there need be no doubt. It is necessary to business not less than to pleasure that people shall get about. So there will be enough trains. There will be fuller i rains p.nd probably slower trains. All operating officers of the Penn sylvania Railroad are being driven to greater exertions. R. T. O'Donnel, as acting general manager, knows he has a hard problem on his hands to make the most of all existing facili ties. He is giving no time to reports showing what is going well, but is devoting himself to the complaints and to things which are giving trou ble. First and foremost stand the pri ority shipments—earmarked Uncle Sam. Whether soldiers, munitions or supplies to concerns for Government account, they get right of way. Elisha Lee May Lead New Railroad Combine; Plans Ready Tomorrow New York, Nov. 26. —Railroad offi cials who are in New York City to day expressed the opinion that Blisha Lee, general manager of the Penn sylvania Railroad, would be selected as chairman of the committee to di rect the railroads east of Chicago, in accordance with the order of the Railroad War Board consolidating ail those transportations systems for op eration as a single unit. J Mr. Lee is named for this posi- I tion his problem will be to revolu | tionize existing transportation meth ods by the elimination of all waste. It is believed that to competing lines will be assigned specifb duties in the great scheme to obtain as near per fect efficiency in the war emergency as is possible. One railroad, for in stance, may confine itself almost ex clusively to hauling freight, while another takes over its through pas senger service. The first steps to j ward actual consolidation will be taken to-day at Washington at a | meeting of the Committee of Operat ! ing Vice-presidents. The new and drastic order of the Railroad War Board comes after months of intensive co-operation by the various lines through individual efforts. As announced Saturday, all eastern lines plan to pool their control and work under one body.
