BIG CHANGE IN
MAJESTIC BILL
Throe Musical Acts Feature
Vaudeville Program
For Weekend
I Changing from comedy features to
ipusical offerings, the Majestic pro
gram for the weekend is almost as
entertaining as the excellent bills of
■the last few weeks.
Juno Salrao, daredevil dandy, has
a novel contortionist offering with
an odd electrical introduction. His
makeup is another feature of the
act. Dellsle and Johnson give just
four songs, but these two lady en- j
tertainers please the audience. j
"Baby Behave," "Come Back to j
You" and a fine yodel song are j
among their musical numbers, the I
last proving the best. .
Robert Hyman and Harry Hayden
have a good sketch, "Caught With i
the Goods," which has a rather sur
prising climax and is effectively pre
sented. Frazer, Bunce and Hardy,
a singing trio, are popular and their j
songs last night brought rounds of
applause, compelling an encore.
"The Count and the Maid," a mu
sical comedy, is more a vocal offer
ing than a comedy, but the song
numbers are both tuneful and j
catchy, of them giving oppor
tunities for fine voice harmony. The
chorus is elaborately costumed and

costuming and comedy. It is one of
the best of all the twenty productions

mysteries, his scenery and effects, and
greatly enlarged company combine to
make critics concede it to be the
greatest show ever presented by
Thurston and .the magic surprise of
all time. It is said that his show for
this season has reached a size un
dreamed of even by Thurston himself.
It is the proud hoast of Thurston that
he is able to present the newest and
most sensational mysteries of the age

zation of ghosts. Other mysteries are:
"Mephisto's Daughter," "Every Wo

Marguerite Clurk "Itich Man, Poor

Paramount pic
ture, starring Marguerite Clark, was
received with marked manifestations
of approval by an audieilce that test
ed the capacity of the Regent Thea
ter yesterday. Both the star and pic
ture sustained themselves with the
dignity that attaches to superiority,
and the interest of the audience fre
quently manifested Itself in hearty
app.ause. This production will be
shown again to-day and to-morrow.
Here is a photoplay that, because
of its powerful theme, capable direc
tion and the Individual efforts of an
exceptionally fine cast of players, is
said to be well worth any one's while
vO see, not once, but several times.
Aside from the excellent characteri
zation of Bab Wynne by Miss Clark,
who is justly termed "the sweetest
girl in motion pictures," that Freder
ick Warde, who essayed the role of
Beeston, a crusty, crabbed and heart
less multi-millionaire, was distinctive
ly a work of art eminently worthy

.. . The story is
that of a pork maker and a bean pro
ducer. The pork man Is June's
brother-in-law and is in a sorry finan
cial plight until Mr. Hoover requested
that the people of the U. S. eat less
meat. Then Mr. Pork Man went to
the Bean Man, whoso business, by the
way, was prosperous, and proposed
an amalgamation. The bean man
didn't like the idea until he saw June.
Then he combined business with his
ambition and he makes good progress
with June until the kiss incident in
the story. It is breaking no secret to
tell here that the man who had the
courage to kiss June in the dark was
•he man to whom she finally decided
to cling ever after. This is said to
he a scream of a stor.v and Miss
Caprice does well dramatically.
Toronto Signs Four
Good Mound Artists
Toronto, Apfil 26.—Pitcher Jack
Warliop is the latest player to sign
his name to a Toronto ball club con
tract for 1918. Warhop is a good
"early season" pitcher, and should be
of great assistance to the team in
the opening games.
Hal Justin also signed up last
night and Pitcher George Crabble, a
left-hander, has been' under contract
since the new International League
began to operate, and Pitcher Rut
iedge, the local twirler, signed up
the day before yesterday. Manager
Howley has not yet received a reply
from Pitcher Fullerton, who was
with the Royals two years ago. How
ley may also take on Southpaw
Doughtrey, who was with Hamilton
in the Canadian League the last
year they played.
It is understood that Pitcher Al
bert Gould, last year with the Leafs,
and whom the National Commission
ruled was the property of Salt Lake
City this season, will join tlio colors
on May 1, and therefore will be lost
to baseball.

Sergeant-Major to Give
Picture of War in France
A close-up picture of the war will
be that presented by Sergeant-Ma
jor Robert Bowman, of the Light
Tank Battalion, Gettysburg, who
put in one year at ambulance driv
ing in France, when he speaks next
Monday evening at the Technical
High School auditorium. "Up the
Somme and at Verdun" is his topic
and he intends to give so vivid a
narrative, accompanied by pictures,
that the hearer will be able to see
real action. Sergeant-Major Bow
man has the distinction of being pre
sented the highest medal of merit
the French government confers on a
soldier, the Croix de Guerre, for
bravery under fire.
At the Technical school he will of
fer a new entertainment In the
shape of machine gun work, explain
ing the operation of this gun, which
is so useful. His pictures also show
the art of camouflage, particularly
as related to airships, and the re
sults of gas attacks. The sergeant
major's own adventures as an ambu
lance man are thrilling beyond be
lief, for, instead of having an easy
and safe job, the American boys who
went Into this service found that it
was more dangerous than any other.
Among the exhibits which will be
shown is an American- flag given to
the sergeant-major by his mother on
leaving home. Hung on his ambu
lance, it now shows three bullet and
•shell holes, tatters galore, but it is
the most valuable of all mementoes
brought back.

RELAY CARNIVAL
GETS GOOD START;
MILITARY EVENTS
Pcnn's Annual Track and
Field Classic Has Many
New Features
Philadelphia, April 26.—Pennsyl
vania's two-day relay carnival open
ed this afternoon on Franklin FielS.
A total of thirty-two events was to
day's program, the most important
beginning at 3.40. In honor of the
scores of soldiers and sailors who
will compete in seven events especial
ly arranged for them, this afternoon
is called Army and Navy carnival
day. Five of them, namely the wall
scaling, the bugle competition, the
squad/ drill, the rescue race and the
bayonet charge race are distinctly
military in character, and the sol
diers and sailors will give a good Idea
of some phases of our army and navy
training.
Military lUvalry
The other two service events are
alhletic in character, both being re
lay races, one a half-mile light
marching order relay and the other a
medley. The latter is recognized as
representing the championship of the
army and'navy, and soma of Ameri
ca's#>est runners are found on the
teams. Camp Oix has several men of
national reputation on its list,
sdeh as Berry, of Pennsylvania;
Finch, of Cornell; Anderson, of the
N. Y. A. C.: Kelley, also of New
York, and. Mt. Pleasant, the great
Carlisle athlete of a decade ago.
Camp Funston In Wyatt, Niedorf,
Welch and Daggy, have four athletes
very well known in the Middle West.
The Pelham Bay Naval Training Sta
tion have well known in
Willie Gordon, Clark and Eastman,
while the Wissahickon Barracks, the
Philadelphia Navy Yard and the
Charleston Naval Training Camp also
have fast men on their teams. The
Marine band of the Navy Yard will
play. Several well-known army and
navy officers will act as officials for
the army and navy events.
Pentathlon Features
For the real athletic enthusiast the
pentathlon and the medley college
relay championship will be the big
features. Eighteen of the cleverest
all-around athletes o/ this country
will compete in the pentathlon. Gllfil
lan, of Notre Dame, the western all
aiound champion, will be the favor
ile, but in Shea, 6f Dartmouth; Had
dock, of Kansas; Hammond, of the
University of the South; Robeson, of
Rutgers; Demming, of State; Bartels,
of Pennsylvania, and Eechtel, of La
fayette, Gilflllan will meet perhaps
the best lot of athletes that have ever
competed in an all-around competi
tion in the history of American sport.
Ii is possible that all the pentath
lon records will be brokeh. This event
consists of the broad jump, the jave
lin, the 200 meters, the discus and
the 1,500 meters. All of the men must
compete in all of the events, and the
lowest scorer will win the champion
ship. It will take alt afternoon to de
cide the various events, so that these
men will have a hard afternoon's
work ahead of them.
The medley relay championships
have a remarkably flue entry, as
Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Chicago,
Wisconsin, Chicago, State. Michigan,
Lafayette and Columbia have entered
teams. Micnigan is said to be capable
of making; new figures for the race,
but Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Chi
cago and State also have tine teams
in this event, which shottld :be one of
the best of the carnival.
Championships for the high
schools, grammar schools and lnter
academic league and also a suburban
high school relay championship will
be run off to-day, and in addition
'tho class relay races for the grammar
and parochial schools.
West End A. A. to Give
Its Star Pitcher to U. S.
At a meeting of the West End A. A.
last evening, plans were made for the
opening game on Way 4. This game
will be the last appearance on a local
diamond of "Snowball" Winters, the
star pitcher ot the West End. He has
enlisted in the Engineers Corps and
will leave for camp on May 6. Win
ters has been the mainstay in the box
lor several years and bis loss will be
keenly felt. Extensive improvements
have been made to the grounds and
grandstand this year, and the club is
well pleased with the support receiv
ed from the fans.
CHIEF RENDER RETIRES
Philadelphia, April 26. —"Chief"
Bender, the veteran Indian pitcher,
with the Phillies the last two sea
sons, has retired from baseball. Ben
der leCused to accept the offer made
him by the Phillies for this season
and yesterday accepted a position at
Hog Island.
Bender was anxious to enlist in
the regular service and to> join the

Lewis Has Fine Record
Meets Stecher To-night
New York, April 26. —Ed. "Strang
ler" Lewis, who goes to the mat with
Joe Stecher in a heavyweight cham
pionship wrestling match at Madison
Square Garden to-night has a greater
record of victories than any of the
present day topnotchers of the an
cient game. About fourteen months
ago Lewis perfected what is now
known the world over as the deadly
"headlock." Since then he has
taken part in about 100 bouts, and
only once, has he failed to win with
his head grip. On this occasion it
was Zbyszko who escaped, the giant
Pole losing on a foul.
Stecher's torturous leg scissors
hold has also won for him nearly
eighty bouts during the past year.
Consequently patrons of the wrest
ling game are going to see a pair of
the best wrestling specialists in the
world in action.
Catcher Thomas Clarke
Signs With the Giants
New York, April 26.—The N§w
York American League Baseball
Club announced the purchase of
Catcher Thomas Clarke from the
Cincinnati Nationals. Clarke had
been a holdout, refusing to report
to his club this spring. His transfer
to New York completes the three
cornered Inter-league trade made
last winter by which the St. Louis
Americans released Inllelder Lee
Magee to the Cincinnati club and the
New York Americans sent Outfielder
Timothy Hendryx to the St. Louis
Americans.
GLOOM rv WILLARD CAMP
Chicago, April 26. —Jess Williard,
heavyweight champion, is skeptical
regarding his proposed title bout
with Fred Fulton, the Minnesota
heavyweight On his return yester
day to Chicago, Willard said:
"The difficulty encountered by
Colonel Miller in arranging for the
bout at Minneapolis makes it look
as though I won't get a chance to
light Fulton after all."

The government committee on I

Importance, as reliable reports in- j
dicate that a large percentage of ab
sence from work is due to the use of j

liquor traflic is regulated in min
ing centers then will the question
of absence from work be solved."
There is not an industry which has
not been compelled to report the
effects of liquor drinking on produc
tion. "Women seem to particu
larly affected. Brought Into new
surroundings, and influenced by un- !
accustomed contritions, they more
readily fall into temptations." Rec
ognizing the menace to national in
dustry, the state has attempted,
through orders issued by local and
military authority, to interdict the
sale of alcohol In various districts.
The restrictions so ordered have In
some cases met with such strong ,
protest, that important modiilcations
permitting the sale In determined |
hours only have been made. Cer- I
tain commanding generals have is- '
sued orders forbidding the sale to
mobilized laborers, women, and co
lonial and foreign laborers. The use
of intoxicating liquors as a bover- j
age is a cause of deep concern with i
the Aval* office. The minister of i

the pain in corns, callouses and bun
