••The Adventurer." Charlie Chap
lin always has a new twist in his
comics. This is one of the later ones,
and is filled with many farcical tricks
and antics by the star.
Joe Raymond. Joe gets a poor
start, caused a few smiles and then
closes with two new war yarns in
verse which get htm much applause,
and are the best features of his otter
ing.
J. C. Lewta and Company, Two
youngsters are starred in this sketch,
entitled "Billy's Santa Claus." The
boy and girl do some good singing,
dancing and dialog patter far better
than some of the attempts which are
made at times by "Grownups" on the
stage.
Marie Stoddard, Another "come
dienne," who succeeds In making a
good impression and who might have i
given an encore on the first evening ,
program if the applause had been con
tinued a minute longer.
The movie act. which was held over
for the entire week, is creating much
comment among the Majestic patrons
and there certainly should be large
crowds when the pictures are shown .
on the screen.

Charles Ray Is appearing at the
Regent Theater in a brand-new Para*
mount picture en-
Charles Rny titled "The Hired
at the Regent Man." Dealing with
the struggle of Ezry
Hollins. the "hired man." to educate
himself up to the standard set by
Ruth Endicott. a pretty college-bred
daughter of his "boss," the story por
trays one of the most supreme human
sacrifices possible, but ends in the
most satisfactory manner, with the
engagement of the two young people
with the complete consent and ap
proval of the father as well as the
younger brother, for whom Ray, as
"Ezry." has sacrificed so much.
Next Monday. Tuesday and Wednes

MARIE MORLANDE
Dainty litle Marie Morlande. who
came all the way from war-torn
France to play the leading role in the
new spectacle, "In Days of Old." which
will be presented here as the feature
of Ringling Brothers' Circus, enjovs
the distinction of being the only
French pantomime actress who can
boast of being a descendant of an old
and famous family of real circus per
formers. She will be seen here with
the Ringling show next Tuesday,
June 11.
There is an old saying In the realm
of sawdust and spangles that "once a
circus performer, always one," but lit
tle Miss Morlande, who has played in
both dramatic and pantomimic produc
tions since infancy, has exploded the
theory. This charming French ac
tress first saw the light of dav in a
circus wagon, in Normandy, while her
parents, who were famous aerialists,
were touring with a little wagon
show. The child was brought up in
circus environments for five years.
Then her mother secured a dancing
engagement in Paris, and'from that
time on the tanbark arena knew the
Morlande family no more-
Miss Morlande's uncle, Alfred Mlaco,
who is the oldest active clown in
America, and the dean of the old
school of singing and pantomimic
clowns. Is responsible for the little
French girl's return to the nomadic
life of the circus. Miaco. who has
been with the Ttlngling Brothers for
many years, persuaded his niece to
cdme to America to play the leading
role in the new pantomime produced
by the Ringling Brothers for the first
time this season. At first Miss Mor
lande, who Is only 19 years old, did
not want to leave her native land, hut
she was finally persuaded to brave the
dangers of the submarine-infested
seas, and she arived safely at an At
lantic port early In the spring in time
to enter rehearsals. "In Days of Old"
is said to be the most elaborate spec
tacle ever staged under a circus tent,
aad embraces a cast of 1,530 oe;.;
and a ballet of 300 girls. After t.."
spectacle comes two aolid hours of
-*cua entertainment.

"Riders of the Night," the new-
Metro feature, starring Viola Dana. I
will be featured at the I
"Rider* of Colonial to-day only,
the Night" It is a gripping story
of the South, how a
weak woman outwits strong men. The
story Is of the blue-grass region of
Kentucky, and deals with a daughter
of a poor descendant. John Deer, a
hard-hearted man. desires,to win the :
girl, while she loves his cousin. There ;

sailing along smoothly, including the [
ship upon which pretty Peggy was i
being carried away, until it turned j

Well, just what turned out is best j

Why Allies Are Confident
Of Winning the War
German apathy at home over the new drive, and the calm confidence of the Allied peoples in the
> face of reverse, both have one explanation. In the race between Hindenburg and President Wilson—
to use Lloyd George's orisp characterization of the battle of the Western Front —the odds are run
ning- every day increasingly against the German. When the British Premier adds that "those who
know best what the prospects are feel most confident about the result," he can only mean, notes the
Omaha \\ orld-Herald, that "the United States is winning the race."
Allied shipyards are launching ships faster than German U-boats can destroy them; Allied navies
are sinking b-boats faster than Germany can build them; Allied crops are promising record harvests
in France and Fngland that will release further tonnage to carry American men and munitions to
the battlefield. At the same time for Germany, many observers believe, another year of war will spell
bankruptcy alike as to her food supply, her finances," and her manpower. Hence the German thrust
against the Aisne front is interpreted in Washington as another attempt to smash through the Allied
armies to victory before American troops arrive in such force as to make a German victory impos
sible.
