That this opinion would seem to be justified in the fact that for fifteen months it crowded the Belasco Theater in that city, establishes a high-water mark of prosperity for that unique play house. "The Boomerang" had an en gagement at Powers' Theater. Chi cago, and will be seen here previous to its presentation in the large east ern cities. "The Boomerang" Is said to be a clean ami enjoyable comedy from be ginning to end. and treats in a keenly satirical manner of the love game as it is played in this highly scientific day and age. Seldom has a cast of such all-around excellence been as sembled as David Belasco has gath ered together for "The Boomerang. It is composed of the same leading players who performed In the piece in both New York and Chicago, and in cludes: Arthur Byron, Martha Hed man, Wallace Kddlnger. Ruth Shep ley. Gilbert Douglas, Kathryn Keys, Mary Elizabeth Forbes, John N. \Vheeler. Richard Malchien and many others.

Miller will have a part different from any he has interpolated in recent y.-ars. He will appear as a seeker after political and social honor, a darkey who has numerous mishaps and adventures, and they are produc tive of much unalloyed fun. It is in two acts and punctuated here and there with lilting melodious en sembles and song hits calculated to find ready response with folks who like catchy music and infectious tunes. The action is said to be spirit ed and during the course of the play, numerous specialties and features will be introduced. A magnificent production is promised and in the cast, besides Mr. Miller and forty other artists, will be found Henry Jines and Esther Bijeou, two versatile artists. "A Girl No Man Should Marry." which comes to the Orpheum. Friday and Saturday, next "A Girl No Ma week, with a Sat shoulil Marry" urday matinee, is said to be a power ful presentment of one of the most vital problems with which humans have been confronted since the begin ning of the world. The question is alive to-day more than at any time in history. In her treatment of the theme, the author shows its relation ship to modern-day conditions in a striking and appealing manner. The play has been a success this season in the principal cities of the country, it is said, due to the interesting quality of the story, its dramatic appeal, to gether with aa excellent interpreta tion of the full sense of the book by a well-chosen metropolitan cast, prominent among whom are to be mentioned: John Connery, Nicholas Roche. Robert Craig, Felix Haney, Robert Norton. Jean Wardley, Amy Mortimer and Welda Knowlton. Vice, in its relation to heredity, as opposed to environment, is a tremend ous social problem to-day. The thrills accompanying any story of the early days of the frontier are not wanting in Hart's New Piny "The Tiger Man." at the Regent William S. Hart's newest picture, but they are tempered by the sweet ness of a womanly love and the gen erous impulses of a man whose heart is bigger than his body, but who be- I comes an enemy of the law because of some strange twist in his nature and the lack of a guiding hand in the earlier stages of his career. Some exquisite, albeit rugged scen ery has formed the setting for the | picture, and Hart is said to have been supplied with a role that is no less rugged than the background against which it is thrown into strong relief, i It affords a strong part of Mr. Hart. ! and will add another triumph to his innumerable successes upon the j screen. "The Tiger Man" will be dis ! played at the Regent Theater again i to-day and to-morrow. "My Father." an episode of "The Son of Democ | racy," featuring Benjamin Chapin. . will also be shown.

Pat Moran Is Home With His Philly Squad Philadelphia, April 12. —Pat Mo- i ran and his new edition Phillies, came in from the South last night at 5.30 o'clock, but the rain, hail and sleet did not surprise them much. They encountered very chilly weath er in the Carolinas the last few i days. It was the end of the annual south ern training trip, the squad having been gone three weeks. The Phils were scheduled to playi in Baltimore to-day with Jack \ Dunn's team, but after stopping over j for an hour. Business Manager! Shettsline received word that it was j impossible to get the grounds in j I shape even if it stopped raining r.nd ; the contest was called off. Moran expected to have Mule Wat- | | son, the former St. Louis National! pitcher, join the team at Baltimore, j but Mule was not there.

"A riot of laughter and good music" is a pretty good description of t M. Thor's breezy ! Mnck and Vincent musical comedy, nt the Majentic entitled "Isle of I Innocence," that I is headlining the vaudeville program at the Majestic the last half of this week. The beauty chorus is deserv- : ing of special mention also, for there I is a bevy of good-looking girls, at- j tractively costumed, who sing and dance in a delightful manner. The | comedians are clever and put their j comedy over in line style. The pro- j duction is elaborately staged and al- ! together, is one of the most enter taining offerings of its kind seen at the Majestic this season. A bill of choice Keith acts are grouped around ; this attraction, which include Mack | and Vincent, the well-known Harris- | burg favorites in an up-to-the-minute j song and patter skit; Wilson and Whitman, clever song and dance en- | tertainers; Knowles and White, popu lar duo in comedy songs and non sense. and Coakley and Dunleavv, ! two splendid black-face comedians, in their big laughing vehicle entitled "Over There." Winsome Viola Dana will make her j reappearance at the Colonial Theater to-day and to-mor- Viola Dana row in a beautiful in "The picture entitled Wlnuing Trail"' "The Winding Trail." It is a | story of the mountains, and Miss Dana, is seen in a role that just suits her charming personality. In the i early stages of the picture she *is j seen as a little mountain girl, beloved by all the folks, while later on she I essays the role of a circus queen. In j both characterizations she is lovable | and appealing, and her acting is said to seem so sincere that the audience is made to forget that it is only a story after all, and they share the sorrows and joys of the little girl as if they were their own. A fine cast of Metro favorites has been selected to support the star in this picture. Douglas Fairbanks will appear at j the Victoria Theater to-morrow in "Keg g i e Doujrlnw Fairbanks In Mixes "Ueßgle Mixen In" which was completed be fore the noted star started in his tour in the interests of the Third Liberty Loan. It is a play which has been de scribed as being the best in serving to introduce "Doug's" famous grin and dynamic energy. It carries a tale of a rich young man, who became tired of his set, and went into the wide world in search of adventure. That program is enough for the foundation of any Fairbanks picture. To say that "Doug" starts on a hunt for adventure, means that he has a real hunt, and that he locates plenty of adventure. The five acts of this photoplay exhibit the popular star in a charming role and a de lightful love affair. Persian Crops Are Scant; Relief Is Greatly Needed New York, N. Y.—A letter just re- j ceived by the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief j shows the extent to which money for relief measures is needed in Persia. I E. T. Allen writes that in the whole of the Province of Adzerbaijan, the greatest and richest in Persia, the crops were less than half the or dinary size; and the bulk of the peo ple the relief workers are helping get nothing in the way of food but dry bread. "These people," says Mr. Allen, | "haven't even the satisfaction of be ing deported by the military and fed j while making munitions to be fired against their friends. They would gladly be taken prisoners and de ported, i£ fed. To feed the needy till next harvest, eight months, will re quire 26 pounds of food per person per month, a total of 373,332 pounds, or 223,999 bushels.

Any distress over the abandonment of Armen tleres is due more ta sentimental than tactical reasons In order to appreciate fully the trend of the present lighting the of fensive operations must he viewed as a whole for they go to make up wliat undoubtedly is the crucial con flict of the war. The loss of a city here or there or the abandonment of live or ten tnilcs of territory in any sector does not mean disaster. The battle has got beyond such considerations anil lias settled down to a grim race to determine whether llic German manpower is enough to make good 'he threat to annihilate the British army and force its capitu lation. It is a cold proposition of which side can kill the most men In j the next few weeks and at the same i time find more recruits to fill the dc i plctcd ranks. Mists l-'avor Enemy The mists yesterday continued to favor the enemy and to hamper the defending gunners. It was partly on account of these fogs that the Ger mans progressed as far aS they did above Armentleres. The situation here to-day did not appear to be critical. The enemy yesterday did not attack with the huge forces em- I ployed on other sectors since the opening of the offensive. South of Armentieres the British yesterday and last night continued to hold most of their front satisfac torily. The enemy crossed the river Lawe and obtained a footing in Les trem, but were quickly forced out again. Last night a considerable German force crossed the river be tween Viellb Chapelle and Lest rem and once more approached Lestrem but again were thrust back. Throughout the day German avia tors did much flying at low heights and also were active in bombing work along the battle line. Bodies riled nigh A small force of the British bicycle corps did brilliant work on Tuesday when the Portuguese were forced back and it was necessary to rein force the center of the allies' battle j line below Armentleres. This l;ltle body of troops were thrown in and | held on gallantly until the regular . infantry could be brought up. There was especially bitter flgbt , ing along the Lys near Croir Du Boc, where the Germans crossed by wad ing As they worked in towards the river from both flanks the British . held their fire and allowed the enemy ' to assemble.
