Based on Growth of
Values
Real estate in Harrisburg has be
come more active in the sale of sub
stantial parcels of land and business
and residential properties in the last
fortnight than for some time. Half
a dozen notable transactions have oc
curred and while the prices have been
high in some instances it is every
where realized they are not
prices." but based on values created
by the growth of Harrisburg and the
increasing appreciation of its tre
mendous advantages as a transporta
tion and manufacturing center.
In quite a number of recent trans
actions dwellings on the Hill and in
the older part of upper Harrisburg
have sold at prices which make them
nice investments for the buyers, and
in other cases good propositions for
home owners. Practically every
builder and contractor has buyers for
houses before they are under roof,
letter Sale Interest*
There are reports of sale of a Wal
nut street property in the business
section of the city to-day. but parties
interested declared that nothing had
been closed up. The most interesting
sale in the business section was that
by the B. F. Etter estate to the M. E.
Olmsted estate of No. 7 North Third
street, in which a property a little
over twenty-six feet front, with a
depth of flfty-two feet, sold at $31,500.
This gives the Olmsted estate a large
holding on the block between Market
and Strawberry.
The transactions in North Front.
Second and Third streets in which at
tractive residential properties were
sold have aroused much interest as
it is believed they are forerunners of
others to come. Numerous reports of
dickers under way are in circulation.
Residence Sale on
North Front Street
Curtis W. Fisher lias sold his resi
dential property, in North Front
street, between Schuylkill and Mahan
tongo streets, through the Harrisburg

•been steadily developing. It has a
frontafee of 110 feet with a depth

asking refusal to operate that many
of the concerns operate unlawful

popular brand of summer
entertainment that can be offered.

cent have booked another of these
acts for the first three days of next
week. It is entitled "Here Comes
Kva," and the particular Eva referred
to is Eva Laßue, who needs no intro
duction to Harrisburg theatergoers.
Miss Laßue is somewhat larger than
the famous Eva of "Uncle Tom's
Cabin" fame, and she Is Just as funny
as she is big. Her offering for this
season, in which she is surrounded bv
a bevy of pretty girls, is said to
eclipse all former efforts. On the
same bill, for the first half of the
coming week, will be Ed Morton, the
well-known singer of popular songs.
Mr. Morton, likewise, is so well known
here that the mere mention of his
name Is sufficient to prove the worth
of the show. "Mollie and Her Suit
ors," the moving picture made on the
stage of the Majestic last week, will
be presented Thursday, Friday and
Saturday.

as he found it in the English prlvat®
soldier. His story will appeal to
young and old alike, to all who lov®
pathos and humor, great deeds and
manly men.
The New Tork Times in comment
ing on the story, "Over the Top," said;
"Prospective soldiers can learn her®
pretty nearly Just what is awaitinK
ihem, in both incident and sensation,
while their folks at home will be
heartened."
Like the book, this Vitagraph drama
is tilled with anecdotes that will brinje
the smile and laughter. Empey proves
that life in the trenches is not all
gloom by any means. He says:
"War is not a pink tea, but In si
worthwhile cause like ours, mud rats,
cooties, shells, wounds or death itself
are far outweighed hy the deep sense
of satisfaction felt by the man who
does his bit. There is one thing my
experience taught me that might help
the boys who may have to go. It is
this—anticipation is far worse than
realization. In civil life a man stands
in awe of the man above him, won
ders how he could ever fill his Job.
When the time comes he rises to the
occasion, is up and at it, and is sur
prised to find how much more easily
than he anticipated he fills his re<
sponslbilitles."
"Over the Top," Sergeant Empey's
great book, was read by thousands of
the Telegraph's readers, when recent
ly it ran In this newspaper, and now
an opportunity is given these readers
to view the marvelous screen version
of this book, and see Empey himself.
