MARY'S ANKLE'A
PLEASING COMEDY
Mmost Continuous Laughter
During Three Acts of
Clever Farce
/
It would be almost an impossibility
to crowd more comedy into the three
acts of "Mary's Ankle" by May Tully,
Which was presented at the Orpheum
theater last night.
The audience was kept in almost a
continuous uproar because of the
ludicrous situations turning up every
minute or two. In fact "there were
times when those who saw the com
edy would have appreciated a little
chance to rest but there was no let
up in the continuation of the farce
until almost the closing lines. While
the company presenting this comedy
certainly can not compare with some
of the other casts in similar produc
tions the play in itself makes up for
this to a large extent with the result
that a discriminating audience has
Jittle chance to watch for real ability
and show apreciation of it. Some of
the members in the cast might make
exceptionally good vaudeville stars.
It is a question whether they will
become popular stars on the comedy
stage in large productions.
The plot of t}ie farce is a tangle
of coincidences starting after three
young men decide to send out fake
■wedding invitations so that they can
get wedding presents from rich
relatives and then pawn the gifts.
After a bit of indecision they decide
to have the doctor, who is one of
the trio, marry. For the bride who
doesn't exist they pick the name
"Mary Jane Smith." The fun starts
with the discovery that there is a
real "Mary Jane Smith." Winifred
St. Claire plays this part and is easily
the best one in the cast. Roxaine
Lansing, as her aunt, and Charles
Lindholm, as an uncle of the doctor,
also display more than ordinary
ability. Others in the cast were
Robert Lussuer, Fred House, Jack
Lewis, Nola Mercer, Zelda DeWell,
Sam Carlton and George Clark.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
CONTRACT FOR
FIRST JUNIOR
SCHOOL IS LET
Board Decides to Carry Out
Program Despite Higher
War Costs
The city school board yesterday
afternoon awarded the contract for
the erection of the new Junior High
school, Nineteenth and Chestnut
streets, to Augustus Wildman, at his
bid of $272,900. Mr. Wildman at
present is in charge of the comple
tion of the work at the Federal
building:, this city.
Seven contractors submitted bids
for the general contract, each one
having the opportunity of submitting
bids under six different specifications
of exterjor finishing, under various
alternates. Mr. Wiidman's bid of
$2 72,900 is under the specification
calling for Indiana limestone trim
mings and granite for the steps and
base course. Faced brick will be used.
The bid is $8,600 lower than the
nearest competitor under this alter
nate in the specifications. The con
tract will also include twelve equip
ment items which will be furnished
for $18,300.
The electrical wiring in the new
school will be done by Nelson /i
Lewin at a cost of $8,891, while the
electrical clock and telephones will
be installed by the Jandous Electric
Company for $4,2j60. The plumbing
contract was let to J. A. Hawley at
his bid of $25,093.
Bids For Heating
Bids for heating plants were re
ceived from eight firms. Six followed
specifications for steam plants while
two were for hot air systems. Of the
steam heating bids Edwin P. Seager
had the lowest at $50,000, while the
Columbus Heating and Ventilating
Company submitted a proposal to in
stall a hot air system at $35,900.
The board will award a contract for
the heating plant at the regular
meeting next Friday when the bids
for the remodeling of the Camp Cur
tin school will be opened.
Exclusive of the heating contract
which has not been awarded the cost
of the building, according to the bids
which have been accepted will be
$329,444. The construction work
must be done by April, 1919, accord
ing to the specifications..
Director A. Carson Stamm was the
only one who opposed awarding the
contracts and going on with the
building program. In a short address
to the members of the board he re
viewed the situation existing in this
country because of the war and de
clared the city school board should
not compete with the government .it
this time, when all the money, labor
and materials available should be
used in the prosecution of the war.
He predicted an increased tax rale
and also called attention to the hiwii
price of labor and materials under
present conditions. He concluded by
telling the directors that to award a
large building contract in the face of
these conditions approached the un
patriotic. He was the only membsr
of the board to vote, against the
awards.
Itowncs' Plan Approved
The suggestion of City Superin
tendent F. E. Downes, in part of his
annual report giving a complete
statement of a change in the super
visory methods in the school system
which will be needed 'when the
Juhior High schools are used, was
called before the board. The plan as
outlined by Dr. Downes was approv
ed and will be worked out so that it
can be started when the junior
schools are opened.
Other action by the board included
the granting of exonerations on two
properties in the Capitol Park exten
sion zone; permission to use the
Technical faigh school auditorium,
December 15, by the Story Tellers
League; St. Augustine's Episcopal
Church, April 2; use of two vacant
rooms in Wickersham building for
colored auxiliary of the Red Cross;
acceptance of resignations of Miss
Iva R. Friedman, as a substitute
teacher, and Miss Sara Bannan, a
teacher at the Penn building.
The school board reorganization
meeting will be held Monday after
noon when Directors William A.
801 l and Arthur D. Bacon retire, and
W. Frank Witman and Cameron L.
Baer take office.
Harry A. Boyer, who was re-elect
ed, will also take office for another
six-year term. Mr. Witman attended
the meeting of the board yesterday
when the High school bids were
openeij.'

FEVER CHECKED
State Department and Water
Company Searchißg For
Cause of Epidemic
i .. ,
Enola, Pa., Dec. 1. —Officials of
the State Health Department ex
presesd their belief yesterday that
the recent outbreak of typhoid fever
in F.nola had been checked. Dur
ing the epidemic last month
teen cases were reported to the

the epidemic has been intimated by
any person who had anything to do
with the- investigation.
C. A. Emerson, acting chief en
gineer of the Health Department,
said that the reservoir that sup
plies the town has been cleaned and
that the water company has com
plied with other suggestions from
the department to safeguard the
health of the community.
During the investigation the
health officials investigated several
alleged "dead ends" but found
nothing in these pipes which would
contaminate the water supply.
However, citizens of the town blame
the drinking water for the epidemic
and several people are desirous of
calling a public meeting to discuss
the subject. Since the Sfate Health
Department placed warning signs
about the town to the effect that
residents should boil all drinking
water the people have been com
plying with the request.
