8 MUSICAL COMEDY IS ENTERTAINING "There She Goes" Offers Usual Variety of Fun, Dance and Song Th musical comedy, "There She Goes." at the Orpheum Theater, last night, included the usual variety of fun, song: and dance numbers, and was fairly entertaining. It would have been much better if the cast had been more carefully selected, as there were a few who bad leading parts and did fairly well until it came to song num bers in which they participated. Of the musical numbers which were good, "Sometimes, If Dreams Come True," and "Something You'll Remeitt-, ber," are the most tuneful. Martha Craver, as Mary Brown, also Patricia I'armalee and Arthur Hell, as Valen tine VanD.vke, appear in these num bers, and are the best in the cast. The one redeeming feature of the comedy is a miniature cabaret given on the grounds of a hotel. The pro gram included xylophone solos by Cal Clifford, a male quartet of male voices and dancing numbers by Bert and Helen Leßoy, and made a hit with the .small audience. Kenneth Christy, as the comedian, and Harvey Orr. as Pro fessor Ichabod Simmons, a "bugolog ist," furnish much of the amusement. In the second act they have a funny •skit with a "soap box" automobile as the third party. This scene alone would be a fine ope for vaudeville. The chorus i$ well costumed, and at times showed evidence of real ability. The theater was not quite a> warm as it should have been when tnc first net was on and this may have had an effect on the chorus. Two of the best numbers with the chorus were "There She Goes," "To the Music of the Old Jazz Band," and "Hawaiian Moon." The story part of "There She Goes" Is a little romantic tale of a girl who must marry a certain man to inherit a legacy and finds that the man she mutit marry is just the one she wants. There is little originality in the show, with the exception of some of the comedy parts. MAX ROBERTSON.

What is said to be one of the most powerful dramas ever shown at the Victoria Theater is Alice Brady •The Maid of Bel li< "The Mn id gium," featuring the of Belgium" talented and noted star. Alice Brady, was presented to large crowds yesterday, and will be shown to-day for the last times. Because Adoree had lost her mem r~ '''rough her sufferings when the is invaded her native country ium, she could not recall who her of her baby was. And so, .se she could not give the baby a name or promise it a future, she consented to give it up to childless Mrs. Hudson. Mrs. Hudson told her husband, just back from a trip of many months to Brazil, that the baby V'as theirs. Though Adoree remained in the same house with the baby, she was not satisfied. She longed to have her baby wholly to herself. This longing was the cause of startling events, which are graphically told In 'The Maid of Belgium," the new ™orld-Plcture Brady-Made, in which Miss Alice Brady is the star. For to-morrow and Thursday the management offers Mrs. Vernon Castle i in the gripping detective story. "Syl ivia of the Secret Service," a different sort of play in which this noted wo man scores a decided "hit." One of tile most delightful musical comedies will be offered theatergoers at the Orpheum, Saturday, "ritrs matinee and night, when and "Furs and Frills" will be I'rills" presented with the original cast and production. In sending this musical success on the road, the Adeline Amusement Com pany promises all the original scenic appointments used during the phe nomenal runs at the New York Casino Theater, and the Plymouth Theater, Boston, where "Furs and I'rills" is now said to be playing to capacity houses at every perform ance. The book is by Edward Clark, co author of "You're In Love." The music has been composed by Silvio Hein, the writer of many song hits. The entire U "™S was staged by Morton. The story is concerned with the complications resulting from the pur chase by a wife of a sable coat at a bargain sale. Her brother pawns the coat to make a bet on the races. An other wife sees it. and the hubby of the wife No. I presents it to her. In order to avoid criticisms on the part ot hej* husband, wife No. 2 again pawns it and gives hubby the ticket. He gets the coat and his stenographer walks off with it. Then the complica tions begin. There is an abundance of pretty musical numbers and catchy song hits. Among them are: "When My Wife Returns," "Furs and Frills" "You Can't Take It With You When You Die," "Does Polly Want Wally?" "It's Easy to Lie to Your Husband," "This Is My Lucky Day." "The Tale of a Coat." There is a large chorus. A notable engagement is that of Ictor Herbert-llcnry Blossom's musi- eal comedy, "The •The I'rlncoMH Princess Pat," the I'nt" To-night Cort Theater, New ... , York, production of Which will be presented at the Or pneum Theater to-night. Credited with being *>-• long odds the best of the several works on which these two brainy men, In their respective llelds, have combined their talents and that includes "M'dlle Modiste," "The Prima Donna and "The Red Mill," and con ceded by critics generally elsewhere to be the best musical play of the day. The forthcoming engagement is cer tain to prove of unusual interest to local theatergoers. Its score is said to be more graceful, more melodious and more varied, and its book more consistent and interesting than that ot any other musical entertainment presented in many months. In this musical play, Mr. Herbert and Mr. Blossom have shown the same apt ness in co-ordinating music and story, lyrics and lilting melody, which distinguish their "M'dlle Modiste" and other noteworthy successes. Mr. Her bert's music, which is always a de light, was never more so than it is in "The Princess Pat," which Mr. Blos foms accompanying story holds the interest of the auditor from the first complication. when an attractive young girl finds herself engaged to an old man whom she does not love until slio is finallv rid of iiini. through an elopement with his son. The lovers ore assisted by "Princess Pat." who indulges In a flirtation with the rich old man, not only to aid her friend, but also to teaah her indifferent hus band a lesson. Important in the pre senting cast are: Annette Ford. Stefl Anderson. Franeie Schofleld. Wilbur Cox. Neil Moore, George Wharitock, Peter Mac Arthur, Augustus Buell. John Reinhard. Andrew Bixby and Ed win Stanley. A chorus foi which real beauty and real voices is claimed, are a most Important adjunct of "The Princess Pat." Admirers of Victor Herbert's style of music will find much to enjoy in "Make lUm Guess.'' •Allies," "T„ove Is Best of All," "For Better or For Worse." "All For You." "In a liittle World For Two," "Two Laughing Irish Eyes," and also the remainder of the twenty numbers in this charming musical comedy. The first day of the EPW year brings to light a pleasing array of yaudevllle attractions at the Majestic It the Theater. Headlining the Mujextlc hill is Dunbar's •'Mississippi Misses." an aggregation of beautiful girls (n artistic picture dances. They are assisted by one man. who sings a number of song's in pleasing style. The whole production is beautifully costumed and is sump tuously mounted and presented A comedy feature of the hill is the burnt cork offering, presented by Statzer and Scott. These blackface enter tainers introduce a brand of bright comedy and put oyer seme song num bers in lively fashion. Valentine Vox tiie celebrated ventriloquist, is dupli cating his hit of former seasons and Is, this year, ottering a ventriloquial ;novclty entitled "At the Club." Val PLEASING BILL AT MAJESTIC Attractive Dance Revue, Ven triloquist and Comedy Numbers on Program A pleasing program of dances, ven<- triloquism, comedy and song is offer ed at the Majestic for the beginning of the week. The bill offers nothing out of the ordinary in vaudeville amusement, but is enjoyable. Arthur and Grace Terry start things moving with a good novelty offering in the way of lariat twirling and fast dancing. Both are good entertainers. Statzer and Scott have a dialog and song skit, with a few new jokes, and a number of old ones. The ventriloquist offering is by Val entine Vox. It is the usual novelty act on vaudeville circuits. Val and Ernie Stanton, listed as Droll Daffo dils, might also be tylied as Daffy Daffodils, as the whole act is a bunch of foolishness, getting laughter only because of the ludicrous chatter. Dunbar's "Mississippi Misses" pre sent the dance revue, an attractive as sortment of fine numbers which is both interesting and entertaining. Dances of other countries and of the United States are given as a clever closing offering. and Ernie Stanton, clever comedy va riety entertainers, and Arthur and Grace Terry, in a novelty comedy turn, complete the bill. The moving picture attraction for New Year's Day and to-morrow at the Colonial Theater, Norma TnlmadKe is the new Selznick at the Colonial production, "The Secret of the Storm Country," starring: versatile Norma Talmadge. This is an absorbing; drama of the great outdoors, superbly acted by capable players in the sup port of Miss Talmadge, who, in "Poppy" and "Tile Moth" has already shown herself to be an emotional actress of the highpst ability. Abound ing in emotional possibilities and dramatic incidents, the plot of "The Secret of the Storm Country" gives the charming young star an opportu nity to add one more artistic interpre tation to her already long list of suc cesses.

Auto Licenses Go Above All Records "The state of Pennsylvania broke all records in issuing automobile licenses during 1917 and we have al ready issued almost 80,000 for 1918," said George B. Brusstar, state reg istrar to-day. "We have shipped tile tags on every application filed with us up to last Friday night and we worked until midnight last night to do it. To-day is a holiday and no licenses are being granteed. People who run cars with 1917 licenses do so at their own risk. People must look at the matter in a reasonable light. We gave notice two. months ago that we were ready to receive ap plications and we have been ship ping hundreds every day. The ap plications received the last few days will be tilled as rapidly as possible." Mr. Brusstar, who paid a brief visit to his office, said that he had been importuned since daybreak by people who wanted licenses, but who had not made any effort until to-day. During 1917 there were 306,001 pneumatic-tired machines and 19,152 solldrtired machines licensed. The revenue from this source amounted to $3,268,025.50, against $2,325,056.50 last year. I)R.

ALL NEWS OF THE RAILROADS ONE KILLED IN WRECK AT ENOLA Two Seriously Injured Whcnj Draft Hits Cabin; Men in the Hospital Knola, Pn., Jan. 1. James G. Martin, aged 36, of Marysville, was killed and James Menges, aged -33, of Northumberland and Morris Gautseh, aged 20, of Sunbury, were injured in a rear-end collision on the northbound track of tho Northern! Central line of the local freight yards last night shortly before 9 o'clock. All three of the men were stand ing on the platform of the cabin when the crash occurred. Martin was killed outright and the other men pinned in the wreckage. Their calls for succor brought the engine crew, W. E. Sanders, engi neer, and J. W. Galer, fireman, to their -Assistance. Yard brakemenl also responded to their cries fori i help. The yard hospital car arriv-| ed at the scene of the wreck soon' after It occurred and the injured I men were taken to the Harrisburg! Hospital. Martin Was I'llot I Martin, who was a special duty man, was piloting the crew to the! Enola yards to get a train of stored cars which they were to take to the Northumberland yards. According to Engineer Sanders the locomotive was running at about twelve miles an hour when the crash occurred. He said he saw no signals for the pilot and that evidently the engine was nearer the draft of cars than Martin suspected. According to yard employes there were no danger lanterns on the rear of the cars and it is believed that the wreck was not Martin's fault des pite the fact that he was piloting the engine and was supposed to know the location of the cars. The engine was pushing the cabin and the three men were standing on the platform ! watching for the cars Cabin Hudly Wrecked i The end of the cabin was smashed j in as a result of the accident and I two other cars were derailed. Con | ductor Livingston and the flagman were in the cabin and were only shaken up when the engine hit the cars. Both Menges and Gautseh, who are brakemen, were taken to the Harrisburg Hospital where it was found that Menges suffered from a fracture of the left leg and bruises of the body; Gautseh sustained cuts and bruises. His left clavicle was also broken. Martin resided at Marysville and was married. This is the first fatal railroad accident in the nation known to local officials since the government assumed con trol of the railroads last Friday noon. Railroad Notes C. J.

MORE TRAINS CUT OFF SCHEDULES Heading Passenger Crews to Operate Freight Trains; Pcnnsy Hits Service Freight trains deluxe, it is said, will come with changes ordered un der the new government control of railroads. This does not moan that coal and merchandise will be hauled | with Pullman car conveniences. With ! the annulment of hundreds of pas senger trains the train crews must be looked after. Tlicy will be placed in charge of freight trains. Changing blue cloth uniforms for overalls is what may come, but the men, it is said, will not be obliged to travel out doors according to re- I ports. Willie no plans have been an- I nounced officially, it is understood I that passenger cars when available will be used instead of cabin cars.

SUGGESTS USE OF WOOD FUEL Administrator Believes Rail road Ties Would Re lieve Coal Shortage The fuel commission of Dauphin county is now gathering information regarding the cost of operation and selling river coal in the city during the past two years, with a view to iixing the prices for the coming year. Data is being collected, and will probably be considered by the board within tho next week. Fuel Adminis trator Hickok said that the prices will not be adjusted by the fuel com mission until operations on the river are begun next spring. It is the river coal in the city that has kept Harrisburg from suffering as acutely with the country-wide coal shortage as other cities of its size. A reported shortage of the river coal, which is used by the Capi tol and a number of large industries in the city, mixed with a certain amount of anthracite, has caused the fuel administrator to investigate. While the early closing of the river stopped coal dredging earlier than usual, the supply is not dangerously low as compared to former years, the fuel commissioner says. It has been reported by one dealer that the river coal has doubled in price dur ing the present winter. At the suggestion of State Fuel Administrator Potter, the local fuel commission will advocate a more widespread use of wood for fuel pur poses in the city. Mr. Hickok is to-day in receipt of a communication suggesting the use of the old rail road ties that can always be se cured, and the combustion of timber hauled into the city by means of teams. Coal is arriving in the city daily, the fuel administrator says, and some has been sent to Ifummelstown and Steelton to relieve the short age at those places.

TRAFFIC RECORD AT NEW MARK Big Gain Over Last Year; Operating Expenses Also Show Increase Chicago. Jan. I.—Traffic on Amer ican railroads passed the $4,000,- 000,000 mark during the last year for the first time in history, accord ing to figures compiled by the Bureau of Railway News and Sta tistics, made public to-day. The fig ures are based on official returns to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion for the first ten months of the year and on estimates for the last two. I The gross receipts for the year were placed at $4,188,227,185, a gain of $451,900,438 over 1916, but de spite this increase in business, there was a decrease of $91,876,153 in net income. The net income for 1917 was $1,022,741,992. Advancing cost of fuel, materials and supplies togeth er \vith increased wages, are blamed for the loss in net income. Taxes For Year Taxes for the year were $222,026,- 753, an increase of $57,770,787 ac cording to the bureau's statistics. A steady increase in taxes each month is shown. Starting with $14,520,000 in January, they reached $25,500,000 in September when accruals under the new war taxation became effec- < tive. Operating expenses were $2,943,- 458,440, an increase of $487,010,804 over 1916. Net operating income per mile is placed at $3,943, a return of 5.07 per cent, on the capital invest ed. In 1916, the net income was 4,299, a return of 6.46 per cent ac cording to the bureau's report. The bureau points out that the great increase in business was han dled with very lidtle increase in equipment. An increase of 700 miles is shown in the mileage. GRATZ ELECTION CONTEST DISMISSED BY COURT President Judge George Kunkel in an opinion to-day dismissed the elec tion contest filed by residents of Gratz borough.

FIRR f]V IIASKMKNT I' ir e which started in the base ment or a frame house in a row in Seventh street, above Boas, was the causo of an alarm turned in shortly after 8 o'clock this morning. The fire was at 1006 North Seventh street Jn a building occupied by Tlllie Dale. The lire was discovered in the rear of the cellar, and started, it is thought, from an overheated furnace which ignited firewood and rubbish stored in the cellar. Smoke which came up through the kitchen and poured out at the rear was discov ered by a neighbor, who turned in the alarm from box 35, at 8.19. The tire was out at 8.34.

The property of John D. Zell. at 1114 North Sixth stret, was also damaged to the extent of S2OO. The latter was caused by water used to prevent the spread of the flames. Three families live In the Wilbar apartments, and it was by the occu pant of the second floor, Mrs. W. D. McCall, that the Are was discovered, when she saw smoke coming through the third floor apartment, which is occpied by C. V. Kramer. Mrs. McCall called to R. O. Wilbar, occupant of the first floor of the apartments, who rushed out and turned in an alarm from the nearest box. When the fire companies ar rived the whole of 1116 North Sixth was ablaze and the llrenpen's efforts were most directed to the prevention of the spread of the flames. Owing to the extreme cold and the instant freezing of the water, the task of fighting the fire was unusu ally hard. The entire frame strue , ture of the Stein property was de stroyed, the brick wall erected in th® front several months ago alone es caping destruction. The damage done to the Wilbar apartments was the destruction of the newly-erect- -4 ed extension on the third floor and the loss by fire and water of the bathroom and fixtures. There was no one home at the Stein home last night. The Steins have a farm near Dauphin, where it is thought they were at the time of the fire.
