16 "HELLO JAPAN" A PLEASING COMEDY (Audiences at Majestic Fail to Appreciate Clever Musi cal Playlet It isn't often tliat an audience mis times and fails to respond to a good Uaudevi'.ie program, but last night the crowds certainly were an •unappreciatlve lot when it came to ap plause. The entire program is good. '"Hello, Japan," the musical comedy, taking headline honors. The failure '•of the theatergoers to do their part niay have been partly because of the ipoor arrangement of the acts, the musical playlet coming in the middle lof the bill. Frawley and West, clown and wo l*nan, follow the pictures with a tine Ibit of ring work, including pole and 'trapeze work. A few new stunts aroused the interest of the audience, but the closing feat is an old one. lit tle Jerry, dwarf comedian, has a fair Voice, and his songs were well se lected. "Hello, Japan," the opening musical number of the comedy operetta by the same name, is an excellent rythmic jsong with a catchy melody. The sec ond musical number is a recitative duet by the comedians, two would-be Jingllsh gentlemen, who sing "It's Not liike We Thought It Was At All." The ♦ liorus effects for this number are fine. 'I he remainder of the offering is given In full stage with a special scenic ar rangement. There was much in this mot which merited applause, but if the entertainers expected an outburst they certainly were disappointed. The next offering is not billed on the program as given last evening. It is a song and talk skit by a couple ■who use the old story of the "rube" and the chorus lady to bring the Jaughs. Bowers, Walters and Crooker. billed is the Three Rubes, have some good ■tumbling tricks and individual dances. This bit of entertainment would have lieen much better if it had been given n place near the staft of the program. Many persons began to leave before the three comedians had finished, and not only missed a number of good feats, but prevented many others from enjoying them. MAX ROBERTSON. WATER SUPPLY AGAIN NEARS DANGER POINT [Continued from First Page.] Ledoux is to report at tlie meet ing' this afternoon. Material on Way Word was received here to-day that the big electric motor for the electric' pumping unit had reached Pittsburgh. George Morrisey, traffic expediter for the Harrisburg Pipe nd Pipe Bending Works, is in charge of the shipping of this part of the new equipment. It was also Jearned that the pump had been rshipped yesterday from Trenton, Js\ J. The only other equipment needed will be sufficient pipes to connect lo the city mains after the new JHimp is installed. May Study Water Cost It was intimated to-day the ordi nance providing for the water rates increase may not be called for final passage next week, but instead ex perts -will be engaged to estimate the cost for pumping the water and the amount the city should charge to householders and industrial users. The plan may be suggested to Coun cil in a day or two.

"The Wild Girl at the Colonial The ater to-day and to-morrow. This production is heralded as one of the big gest film ensations of the year, and the dashing Eva is said to be wonderful in this picture. Miss Tanguay lias the distinction of being the biggest draw ing card in vaudeville, and since joining the ranks in the film world, her drawing power is certain to be increased to an amazing degree. ing machinery to-day gave the de partment an opportunity to make other extensive repairs, according to Commissioner Hassler. While only one valve was damaged it was decided to repair other working parts. Double forces of men were called out and kept hard at work until almost 8 o'clock when botn pumps were again ready for use. Reservoir Again &inks In the meantime hourly reports from the reservoir showed that the supply there was slowly being ex hausted again despite the amount of water being pumped into the city mains from Steelton, the Stony Creek water plant north of the city, and the Pennsylvania Railroad pumping plant. The old pumps now in use were built in 1574 and for many years after the big pump was started were not used. Repairs were made to them last November, but the heavy pull during the last two months made additional changes necessary. Dr. Hassler said to-day the machin ery is working better now than when it was started in November. Two Week** Delay Repairs on the big pump are pro gressing again with the placing of the thirteen-ton casting. A concrete base must be constructed for this big casting and it will be two weeks before yie laige pump was started. While outside plants have been connected to city mains, the import ance of conserving all water and of stopping all waste was repeated again by Mayor Keistcr and Commis sioner Hassler. Wante Means Delay "Every enllon of water drawn when It I* not needed, or wasted, will menu that much longer delay In gcttlnK the reservoir filled," the latter Maid. "Until there 1* a snfflrlent "ripply there all plants miliar remain closed. This nieirns they probably will not resume operations until next week. "We nre hoping to itet permission to stnrt on Monday If the situation Improves sufficiently, hut It Is up to each Individual resident now, ns only householders nre uslnic with the ex oepflon of the plant* named la tlie i Major's order." Must Hon Water City and state health department officials issued warnings that all water should be boiled until the city is again using its own supply of fil tered water. While the supply from Steelton is filtered, It is being pumped through more than 1,300 feet of hose stretched along Cameron street from the city limits to the northern end of the borough. Becatise of the shortage yesterday the school board was compelled to close the Camp Curtin and Steele buildings in the West' End. Aid From I'cnnsy Until further notice the Pennsyl vania Railroad will supply Harris burg with 2>,s million gallons of water' each day. Tills additional service began last night at midnight. The water is of the pure spring va riety and comes through the Dau phin Consolidated Water Company pipes from Dauphin. It is one of the many water companies owned and operated by the Pennsy at various points along the big system. In order to keep up the supply the Dauphin company to-day started another pump. A large supply of coal was diverted by the Pennsyl vania Railroad to Dauphin to keep the pumps going. This service is similar to that furnished by the Pennsy to Coatesville and other mu nicipalities during recent shortages in water supply. The Dauphin com pany supplies all water used by the company in this city, except at the railroad station. This and other water companies under control of the railroad company are in charge of William B. McCaleb, former superin tendent of the Philadelphia Division. Arrangements for attaching the Pennsy water mains to those of the city were arranged at a conference yesterday afternoon between Dr. S. F. Hassler and J. K. Johnston, super intendent of the Philadelphia Divi sion. Dr. Hassler was told that the company was always ready and will ing to help any municipality. i ORPHECM To-night—Jacob Shiekowltz In "Gee, My Wife." (Yiddish).

Drew and Illington whet the curiosity of lovers of great writ ing' and great acting. Three Great To print the names of Annies Arthur Wing Pinero, John Drew or Margaret Illington on a playbill is to command immediate and respectful notice, even from the most casual playgoers. To combine the brilliance of all three is to guarantee that realization will more than justify expectations. This generous and promising combination has been made for playgoers by John D. Williams, wlio to-morrow evening will present Mr. Drew and Mi9s Illing ton in Pinero's matchless comedy, "The Gay Lord Quex." at the Orpheum Theater. Comedy was the earliest and has been the most constantly suc cessful field for Arthur Wing Pinero. In "T..e Gay Lord Quex" Pinero's abil ity to conceive comedy characters find situations and to write comedy dia logue has reached its apex. It is a comedy of rare aptness, and almost unapproachable excellence. In this superb bit of playwriting John Drew and Margaret Illington will begin their association under the manage ment of John D. Williams —an associ ation that could scarcely have a more auspicious launching as in "The Gay Lord Quex" both will bring to an un usual equality of opportunity a splen did equality of skill and artistry. Through this master work of Pinero's there emerges two chief characters Lord Quex and Sophy Fullgarney. These in the hands of Mr. Drew and Miss Illington promise hours of rare delight. There is a deep human note to "The Gay Lord Quex." Its urbanity is the gem-like shell that incloses its reality. A man will fight and fight fiercely for happiness. The gay Lord Quex lights for his happiness, and the greatest obstacle to that happiness is Sophy Fullgarney. The extensively advertised musical comedy, "Hello JJapan," appearing as the headline feature I "Hello .Inpnn" of the bill at the At the Majestic Majestic tho latter half of this week. Is creating much favorable comment among vaudeville devotees who have witnessed this delightful piece of en tertainment. It is an elaborate pro duction, beautifully staged and cos tumed, and a note of praise deserves to he sounded for the splendid work of the players. There is good singing and dancing, with a dash of comedy sprinkled here and there throughout the act, to say nothing of the beauty chorus, who add much to the at tractiveness of the offering. Taken all in all, "Hello Japan" is cleverly presented and is diverting and enter taining throughout. A good vaude ville show is grouped around this at traction. Bowers, Walters and Crook er are a lively trio, presenting a laughable variety offering; Frances and Dyer entertain with some splen did singing; Little Jerry, the llllipu tian comedian, keeps the audience in constant laughter with his funny an tics, while Frawley and West com plete the bill by introducing a novelty ring act.

From the roles of the loyal little wife in "Double Crossed" and the heroine of "Hungry Heart." longing for a place in the life of her husband the transition to the part of Mrs. Dane was no slight one. but with her re markable versatility and her ability to conceive a character rapidly and accurately.
