forthcoming attraction. There Is said
to be an abundance of pretty girls in
the chorus, elaborate costuming,
sparkling music, refreshing: comedy
and really beautiful scenic effects.
The show never pauses in its mad
whirl for a moment, and is the great
est .gloom-destroyer of the season. It
Is another one of those delightful ori
ginal musical pieces like its predeces
sor, "The Million Dollar Doll." A
hodge-podge of whistly music, smart
dancing, pretty girlies and the jolli
est of comedians. There are dances
of every known variety from the clas
sical to the modern, which are dem
onstrated by several solo dancers and
other numbers in which the clever
chorus girls participate. "There She
Goes" comes with the original cast
and production, including Harvey On,
Martha Craver, Cal Clifford, the Danc
ing I,eßoys, and Marion Weaver. Some
of the song hits are: "When You're
Twenty-one," "An Absent-minded
Man," "Hawaiian Moon," "Some Girl
In the Summertime," "To the Music
of the Old Jazz Band," and "Sometime
If Dreams Come True." The matinee
will be given at war-time prices.
Seldom, if ever before, has a musi
cal comedy "caught on," as the'say-
v ing goes, as has Henry
"The Blossom-Victor Herbert's
Prinee** latest effort, "The Princess
Pat" Pat." bast season It be
gan its career at the Cort
Theater, New York, without any
blare of trumpets and sheerly through
its excellence remained at that thea
ter for over six months. It would
seem from the way in which it was
immediately accepted by music lovers
that it was Just the sort of entertain
ment for which they had been longing
and the substantial support given to
this charming musical comedy has
created a vogue for like offerings. To
"The Princess Pat," Mr. Blossom has,
it is said, written a book that takes
rank with the best that he has given
to the American added to which
he has written the lyrics for the
twenty numbers of the comedy, which
are among Mr. Herbert's most notable
compositions. The company will be
seen in "The Princess Pat" when it
is presented at the Orpheum Theater
for a matinee and ni-ht performance
only on New Year's Day, and still in
cludes Annette Ford, Stefi Anderson,
Francie Schofield. Wilbur Cox, Neil
Moore, George Wharnock, Peter Mac-
Arthur, Augustus Buell, John Rein
hard, Andrew Bixby and Edwin Stah
ley, a large chorus of real singers and
several dancing specialties. The
scenes, which are entirely new dupli
cates of those shown during the New
York run, are said to be among the
best of Homer F. Kmens' artistic con
tributions to current successes.
One of the most pleasing features
on the vaudeville program at the Ma
jestic the last half
Male Quartet on of this week, is
MnjeMic Hill the appearance of
Doris Dare, whose
attractive personality and the knack
of knowing how to put her song num
bers across the footlights at their
true worth, make lier one of the big
hits of the bill. The Worth-Wayten
Four is also a popular number on the
bill. This is an excellent male quar
tet who put a number of song hits
over to big applause, and inject just
enough comedy into their act to give
the needed amount of pep. Other acts
are Jewel's Mannikins, presenting a
novelty offering called "Circus Day in
Toy land;" I*arry Simpson and Com
pany. in an amusing comedy playlet,
entitled "Reno and Iteturn," and Kay
and Belle, in an artistic dance offer
ing.
Dunbar's "Mississippi Missas," a re

nine players, is the headliner booked
for the early half of next week.
Grouped around this attraction are
Valentine Vox, the celebrated ven

ANNETTE FORD AND THEFASHION GIRL V A
FROM THE MUSICAL COMEDY, "THE PRINCESS PAT," NEW YEAR'S
"The Princess Pat." Henry Blossom and Victor Herbert's latest comic opera, which reigned Queen of
Broadway for many months, comes to the Orpheum Theater on New Year's Day, January 1, for a matinee and
evening performance only.
It is one of those very, very rare comic operas which are at once comic and oneratic. The book and
lyrics are in Mr. Blossom's best vein, with pith and point to the comedy, while Mr. Herbert's music not only
excels the best that the put into "Mile. Modiste," "The Red Mill," and "The Prima Donna," but in one or two of
the concerted numbers approached closely the distinction of his grand opera efforts in "Natoma" and "Made
leine." Add to these facts the introduction of principals and ensemble that can sing as well as look beauti
ful and we have the reason for the success of "The Princess Pat."
A more delightful comedy than this
one would be hard to tind. The situa
tions that arise are highly amusing,
and "Dug" makes the most ol' them.
The many admirers of this popular
star will intrench him more firmly
than ever in their hearts after they
have seen him in this picture.
The popular co-stars—Francis X.
Bushman and Beverly Ba.vne —will be
featured in a big Metro play entitled
"Red, White and Blue Blood," Monday
of next week.
One of the most delightful as well
as intensely interesting motion pic
ture plays seen in
"Bnbex in this city during the
the Woods" past few months, is
iit the Vietorln now being shown at
the Victoria Theater
for the last times to-day, and is en
titled "Babes in the Woods.'" The
story is taken from the book of the
same name. It is a play for the kid
dies and grownups alike.
For Monday and Tuesday the man
agement offers for the first time in
this city Alice Brady in "Maid of the
Belgian.-." which la quite the most
surprising and unusual story of the
sreat world war. It is the story of a
Belgian girl whose memory is de
stroyed by the sufferings she experi
enced, and also shows to what lengths
a woman will go when she finds that
her husband's love is slipping away
from her. It is a picture that every
lover of the best pictures should see.
Says Greater Interest
In Motor Cars Prevails
"Never in the history of the in
dustry has there been more interest
in advance of the big automobile
shows than is manifested this year,"
says E. C. Ensminger, distributor for
Dort motor cars in Pennsylvania and
Maryland.
"It is due to the more or less un
certainty that prevails regarding
prices and volume of production.
Thousands of those who are in the
market for a car this year are deter
mined to buy early for they believe
they can perhaps do better in Janu
ary than in May.
"Although I do not believe there
is going to be any great curtailment
in the number of cars built next
year, I do think it the better part
of wisdom to buy early and make
sure. Buyers feel the same way,
hence the extraordinary interest in
the shows."

SI ' The )udgmL House- jp§J|
CpcuwnounlCpichire
On New Year's Day, and the two days following, the Regbnt Theater
will present a holiday bill of great merit, in offering "The Judgment
House." It is a Paramount picture from the famous novel of the same
name by Sir Gilbert Parker. A great spectacular film in a woman's part
in tlie fate of nations.
This picti're is produced under the direction of J. Stuart Blackton, the
master of screen-craft. The author made a special trip from England to
co-operate with the renowned director in the making of this remarkable
picturization of a noted work.
"The Judgment House" is supported by an all-star cast, including Vio
let Homing, Wilfred L.ucas and Conway Tearle.
Miller Says Good Roads
Essential to Victory
"Good roads should no longer bo'
considered as a local 'matter," says
H. W. Miller, of the Miller Auto Co.,
Oklsmobile distributors. "Every
stretch of new road has a direct
bearing on th outcome of the war.
Every stretch of new road will have
a great deal to do with the progress
and prosperity of our United States
after the war's duration."
"The automobile is recognized as
an economic need of the time. Au
tomobile drivers are, without quss-'
tion, the most enthusiastic about
good roads, but every thinking per
son will quickly recognize that good
roads are beneficial and necessary to
the whole country.
"Mr. Hoover claims that food will
win the war. We believe his state
ment true, but there is a powerfully,
big question involved in the trans-;
portation of the food. The Govern
ment, it is known, is manufacturing
ammunition, guns of all kind, air|
ships, submarines. This all means
a transportation problem. And after
the war—supplies of all kinds, food,
THE DANCING LEROYS WITH
SHE GOES," AT THE ORPHEVM MONDAY
''There Goes," the merry musical triumph, comes to the Orpheum
on Monday, matinee and niffht. First and foremost, the company as
sembled for the leading roles is said to be absolutely the best obtainable
from the ranks of musical comedy stars. Heading the list are Harvey and
Harold Orr, late of the "Million Dollar Doll," and as sifted a pair of com
edians that ever graced the musical comedy Their experience with
"a lame" automobile is one of the best bits of comedy, and something that
auto owners will appreciate. Martha Craver, a dainty prima donna with
a powerful voice, and a strikingly handsome chorus of Rrorgeously-Kown
ed beauties in the chorus make "There She Goes" the classiest and
speediest musical comedy entour. There are twenty-two whistly tunes
from the pen of Louis Weslyn, one of New YorK's most prolific writers,
and includes: "There She Goes," "Hawaiian Moon," "An Absent-minded
Man," "Seaside liaß," "When You're Twenty-one," "In Honolulu Town,"
"To the Music of the Old Jazz Band," p.nd "Sometime If Dreams Come True."
building material, almost everything
| one can think of will need to cross
! the country to ships that will carry
;it across the sea. The railroads are
inadequate to meet this demand—
' and carry on the work of our own
country at the same time. We al
ready have thousands and thousands
of automobiles but lack of good
roads that would make that method
of transportation efficient.
"As a means of transportation and
permanently cementing all parts of
our land—3,ooo miles across—noth
ing can take the place of good roads.
"People are loyal as true Amer
icans ever 1-ave been. The liberty
Honds, the Red Cross, the Hoover
call—all have been met squarely.
This question of good roads shouid
be recognized as an absolute req
uisite and every one to do their bit
i on the 2,000,000 more miles of good
roads needed, not as a local conven
ience, but as a contribution to our
, United States.
"Good roads—carefully built —last
years and they would remain a me
morial showing how great was the
, response 'of our people to the Gov
ernment's call for assistance and
how nothing was left undone that
would tend toward victory."
Thrift Stamps Given
to All Firestone Employes
"Only a saving people can ulti
mately be successful, either individ
ually or as a nation," declared Pres
ident H. S. Firestone, of the Fire
stone Tire and Rubber Company, in
announcing the Cliristma:> gift by
the company to each employe at
Akron, Ohio, of a bank book with a
credit of $1 deposited in a local
bank. More than 10,000 people,
ranging from department heads to
the newest office boys, shared in this
distribution.
Bach employe in the fifty branches
outside of Akron was given a $1
Thrift stamp.
"We, as a country, are just be
ginning to appreciate the value of
thrift," continued Mr. Firestone.
"We have been so prosperous that
Ben Franklin's advice, 'Save the pen
nies and the pounds will take care
of themselves,' has been unheeded.
"The thrift of the individual Ger
man has aided that nation a great
deal in the world war. Before the
beginning of the war, she had 23,-
871,657, savings bank depositors, out
of a total population of 67,810,000.
The United States, with a population
of 101,882,479, has beut 11,285,755
depositors. Thus, thirty-five per
cent, of Germany's people are
thrifty, as compared with ten per
ent. in this country.
"Again, the average amount de
posited per inhabitant is in Ger
many $70.26 as against only $49.05
in tnir country.
"Sc it can be plainly seen that the
soving habit must be inculcated in
the minds of the American people to
hasten the successful end of the
war.
"But with our nation involved in
this war, with every man, woman
and child enlisted in the fight, with
hundreds of thousands of our boys
in the trenches, with food conser
vation an immediate need, with the
Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. and other
valuable organizations needing funds
and supplies, it is necessary to save
—save—save!
"The company's one underlying
thought in putting these books in
the hands of our employes is that
the original deposit may swell many
fold, that every employe will realize
more than ever the value of saving,
thus becoming a better American.
"The bank book is the seed of all
thrift. From this source have come
the mighty billions of the Liberty
Loans, the mercy millions of the Red
Cross, the man-making millions of
the Y. M. C. A.
"It is my hope that every book
of the thousands given to-day shall
be a mighty help to the spirit of sav
ing and the practice of thrift."

a sizable number of orders were ie

enthusiastic admirers who had nev

Eight orders were booked in
Memphis before a Nash Six arrived
in Tennessee. Pour cars were sold
in Battle Creek before a single per
son in the Flood City had seen a
Nash. As long ago as last August,
six weeks before the new car was
officially announced, two Nash S.x
Sedans were sold to individuals in
Jacksonville, Fla., and Columbia, S.
C., "sight unseen."
Twenty-three dealers in one state
bought Nash Sixes without seeing
them, and in virtually every state in
the Union Nash Sixes were sold to
dealers and customers before the
cars were seen. This is eloquent
testimony of the eagerness with
