WALKING RACE
AT MAJESTIC
Novel Act Keeps Entire Audi
ence in Seats Until Cur
tain Is Lowered
George N. Brown, claiming the
title as champion walker of the
world, is appearing at the Majestic
for the first half of the week. Few
in the audience left last night at the
first show because of the interest in
the one-mile walking race which is
given on the stage by using walking
machines. Before starting the race
with his training champion, Brown
persuaded several to go on the staKc
and try (he machines for a short
race. The amateur athletes furnish
ed plenty of fun lor the audience
in their lirst attempts to stay on the
machine and keep from falling.
Preceding Ibe Brown act are four
other food offerings. The Harms i
Trio follow the pictures and do
some novel acrobatic turns. Balauc-j
ing a small billiard table turned oil
end, with a man on top balancing;
himself on four cues is the closing
feat.
Leona Guerney has a number of
good songs, most of them old, but
favorites of many vaudeville patrons.
Of these, "When You and I Were
Young Maggie," and "Comin' Thro
the Uye," are the shorter numbers.
To show Iter range of voice she has
included part of the musical numbers
in "Faust." The applause was in
sistent last night and an encore was
given.

Government Ownership,
Senator Johnson Urges;
Time For Action Is Now
By Associated Press
Washington, Feb. 13.—Perman
ent government ownership of rail
roads rather than government con
trol, for the period of the war, was
advocated by Senator Johnson, of
California, to-day in a speech oppos
ing the Senate draft of the adminis
tration's railroad bill.
"1 would now take the inevitable
next step in government control of
our railroads," Senatpr Johnson de
clared. "and do whatever might be
essential to make that government
control permanent government own
ership. or at least leave the way open
so that immediately upon the ter
mination of the war, we might fol
low to its logical conclusion what
already we have partly done."
The California Senator protested
vigorously at the proposed rate of
compensation to be paid the rail
roads under the provisions the bill
and also opposed the Senate's plan
to turn the roads back to private
management eighteen months after
the conclusion of peace.
In support of his declaration for
government ownership. Senator ;
Johnson said that the railroads had :
broken down under the stress of the
last few months; tluit if the country
is to have efficient national trans- 1
poration the roads must be nation
alized and operated by one directing ]
head; that the American people
have "paid the price of private own- •
ership" and that "despite barriers or '
obstacles, th nation is marching j
straight to the goal of public own- ,
ership, anil the people at last will .
come into their own."
Annette Kellermann in
"A Daughter of the Gods"
William Fox's widely advertised
"million-dollar" cinema. "A Daughter
of the Gods," with that incompar
able priestess of the water, Annette
Kellermann, in the principal role, was
shown at the Victoria yesterday and
last evening to crowded houses.
There was unfolded on the screen a
mythical tale of a little child who
lost her pet bird, and whose heart be
came so broken that she died. In a
land of fairies and other things eth
ereal. the soul of a bird is transform
ed into a lovely woman, a Dream
Maiden (Miss Kellermann). This
Dream Maiden is destined to meet a
fairy Prince, the son of a powerful
Sultan. But the old Sultan covets her
frail beauty himself and has her
thrown into the royal harem where,
as one ol' the extraordinary titles of
the picture expresses it, "laughter is
with the lips, and not the heart." The
Dream Maiden escapes by jumping
into the sea from a tower hundreds of
feet in the air. She is chased by black
slaves, captured and thrown to the
royal crocodiles. But the crocodiles
are transformed into white swans by
a good fairy, and with these white
swans, the Dream Maiden floats away
to pay a visit to the land of Gnomes
and Elves. „
"A Daughter of the Gods will be
shown again to-day and to-morrow at
the Victoria.
