14 DANCING DUO WIN MUCH APPLAUSE Novel Acrobatic Offering and Girl Minstrels Also Fea ture Majestic Bill Dance number* by a pair of lively entertainers on the Majestic program for the weekend brought hearty ap plause last night because of the many intricate and eccentric steps. A novel acrobatic offering and a girl minstrel act add to the features on the bill. "The Floorwalker." —Another good Chaplin film, but it is showing the ef fects of much use. t 7,eda and Hoot. —This is an effective electrical acrobatic offering with more attention being paid to sensa tional costuming than unusual feats. Hinkle and Mne. Can you make other folks laugh at your way of laughing? The male character in this act has the system worked out and coupled with a bit of other nonsense, pleases the crowds. "Poddy's Pensions." The audience appreciated some of the humor In the sketch, but failed to respond with much applause last night. Stanley and Illrne*. Eccentric dancing by this pair certainly met with public favor, and the audience by hearty applause showed appreciation of the difficult eccentric steps. "The Petticoat Minstrel*.' home good songs and a violin number are included on the program of these rair entertainers. Pottle Claire is inter locutor. with Emma Broderick and Belle Titues on the tambo and bones. But can't we have a few new jokes.

DOCTORS HAND OUT LIVE TIPS They Take the Public Into Their Confidence Prominent physicians claim peo ple fail in life because of "nerve hunger," that it is the active, bright eyed, strong-nerved man or woman who is "there" at work or play. Strong, well-nourished nerves is the great secret of success, health and happiness. Men and women try to live re gardless of health, strength, ambi tion, energy and hope, they exceed the speed lln}its, wasting nerve strength and energy and fail to store up reserve force, afterwards they only exist, life has no joys. Without energy, ambition, strong nerves, and pure blood, one cannot hope to enjoy the fullest measure of sucoess and happiness. A noted specialist says, "Phos phated Iron brings strength to the blood, nerves and brain, that it is a perfect combination of vital ele ments of great tonic qualities when taken by 'Nerve-sick humans,' that it will increase body and nerve en ergy, restore ambition and staying powers." He also says: "If you are the victim of overwork, worry, excess of mental and physical forces, have the blues, and the pleasures of life are no longer enjoyable, that you need Phosphated Iron to brace, build up and put you on your feet again." Special Notice —To insure physi cians and their paf"its getting the genylne Phosphatt • Iron, we put up in capsules only, so do not allow dealers to substitute any pills or tablets.

Under the banner of Charles Boyer, the well-known producer, seven young women have formed what At the Is known as "The Petticoat MaJcHtle Minstrels," a vaudeville act of unusual grace and qual ity, now appearing at the Majestic Theater. This is a singing and danc ing novelty, full of pep and immense ly pleasing. There are four othpr acts on the bill, combining to make a show that well repays the patrons for brav ing the hot streets enroute to the cool theater. Beginning Monday, Jimmy Hodges and his musical com edy company of twenty-five persons will hold the boards at the Majestic for a full week. The first half of the week they will play 'The Bet," and the latter half of the week they will present "Broadway Jimmy," in which the Inimitable comedian, Hodges, will play the title role. Hodges made his big Harrisburg hit last w4nter when he appeared at the Majestic in "Pretty Baby." Another big achievement is placed to the credit of the Colonial Thea ter. The great "The Still Alarm" screen triumph, at the Colonial "The Still Alarm," will be shown to day and to-morrow. A gigantic dramatic spectacle, taken from the melodrama of the same name, which has been considered one of the strong est dramas since back in the eighties. The lire scenes in the production are spectacular and bewildering. Satur day only, Bert Lytell will be seen in "No Man's Land." Bert Lytell does excellent work in the role <f the manly hero. Anna Nilson makes a charming heroine and tlje role allows full play for her emotional abilities. Some tine sets have been used in filming the outdoor scenes; there are some cellar scenes that are spooky and tense; while the marine views will afford the spectators a treat in beauty. The picture that will be re garded with favor by young and old. "Missing" is said to be a master production from every standpoint. The story deals "MINKIIIB" at the with the fortunes Regent To-day of a British of nnil To-morrow Hcer and his bride. He is re ported missing, but subsequently re gains the British lines, his rnind and body wrecked by shock and mental suffering, and ultimately is restored to health when his wife sings a pa thetic love song, which they had often sung together during their courting days. The story is superb and will surely please all. Miss Maud Daniels, who manages "The Rising Generation" Company that is the feature attrac- Paxtnng tion at the Paxtane Park Park Theater this week, has Theater probably trained more youngsters for the stage than any other person, man or wo man, in the show business. Children are Miss Daniels' specialty. She takes them and teaches them the ways of the stage and the actor with far less trouble than the average mother has in teaching her offspring common courtesy. Miss Daniels says ther.e 4s not much difference in the abilty of c hildren, if you get them before they have been spoiled by environment or too much praise. Once a youngster gets what is called in the vernacular of the day, "a swelled head," he is useless on the stage. All the kiddies in "The Rising Generation" think Miss Daniels the grandest woman in the world, and there is no reason why they shouldn't. She gets them to do their various parts in the show with out using a cross word. It is a great juvenile act. To-day Virginia Pearson, the tal ented emotional actress. Is starred in the powerful "Her Prlee," drama, "Her Price." nt the Victoria This screen play will have a particu lar appeal to girls and young women, for the reason th.it many of them who are talented and ambitious leave the protecting influences of their homes to go to the big cities to make a name and mark for themselves. The road to success is a hard, rugged path and exacts its price. This remarkable fea ture tells whether it is really worth while, after all. Virginia Pearson is seen at her best in this feature.

The people generally of this city have but little knowledge of the wonderful good that is being done by these women for the benefit of the soldiers, sailors and draftees of all classes; irrespective of race, color or conditions. This work is being now carried on daily in a systematic manner, and has been so successful that the city's generosity has again been heralded from coast to coast, according to letters re ceived by Mrs. Francis J. Hall, cap tain of the Harrisburg branch. System Perfected The committee is part of a state organization with headquarters in Philadelphia. By reason of an arrangement with the railroad com panies notice of the time of the com ing of the boys is received in ad vance. The system is so perfected that there arc no duplications; as for instance the boys that are met by the Philadelphia, Altoona or other committees are not met the same day in Harrisburg; thus fa vors are equally distributed, al though the work at the point is more difficult by reason of the fact they come from the north, east, south and west. Tlie Harrisburg commit tee in several instances have met six and seven thousand a week, find on Monday last gave supplies to 800 colored men from Philadelphia. It's all worthwhile. The spirit of the boys on their way to war is wonderful. True American hearts all of them, and every one of them understanding the principles of true democracy. To those of a philosophical turn of mind who have watched the women going about their pleasant duty, handing supplies to the soldiers and offering them words of encourage ment, see something deeper in the work than may appear on the sur face. Many a boy has written a postal to some dear one before em barking for France; perhaps his last letter bearing the postmark of '.his city. Scores of them with troubled countenances have been made to smile and become more content by reason of a little cheerfulness and words of help from a Harrisburg canteen worker. Appreciate Postal Cards Perhaps of all the articles that are given the boys the postal cards are the most appreciated. They are stamped by the local committee without cost to the senders, and since the committee has taken up this work in this city, 35,000 of these stamped postal cards have been fur nished. The boys are asked to write home before the trains leave the station; after which the cards are censored to see that they do not con tain any information that the army regulations prohibit. The boys are also given chocolate, chewing gum, tobacco, magazines, newspapers and fruit in season. Suggestions have been made that they be furnished ioe cream, but the great number that are served in this city and the anort length of time will not permit this being done. Not one cent is ac cepted from the boys for anything received by them. Serve Sandwiches Arrangements have also been made with several of the restaurant# whereby sandwiches and coffee are furnished the boys, but this is only done upon advance advices from those having the trains in charge, and the committee at its own cost has never snd will not turn down a request Cor anything desired. Fre quently passengers at the railroad stations who witness the activities of the canteen workers contribute to the general fund, and only the other day an old woman whose appearance indicated she had but little of this world's wealth, gave a fe wpennies to a canteen worker with the remark that she wanted to do something be cause she had her only son in France. It's all worthwhile. Work Has Wonderful Effect The general effect upon the sol dier boys to have some one in a strange city take a kindly interest in them; offering them words of help fulness, a farewell wave of the hand as they depart, or some other little kindness is ample recompense of the immense amount of work that is being accomplished. In several cases where there had been trouble on the trains with the inexperienced draftees, the appearance at the sta tion of the Red Cross workers in their blue uniforms of veil and gown, handling them articles with a cheer ing word and smile, has brought the I men to a keener sense of the realiza tion and a deeper understanding of that which is expected of them, and as the trains leave the station, it can easily be seen that the kindness shown is their first great lesson in this worldly conflict. Think First of Home Folks Those who censor the postal cards —and 35,000 of them have been read —are given an Insight into the little secrets, the home life, and the love cherisned for those who were '.eft behind. Some of the writings are pathetic; others humorous, but al ways the thought is carried for the welfare of those at home rather than a selfish idea for the writer's own welfare. Of the thousands of postal cards passed upon by the members of the local canteen com mittee, a very great majority of them are written to mothers, but "Dad" is not forgotten. It is al ways asking them not to worry; that their boy will come back, and many of them express the faith that God will protect them in battle. Not cnce do they mention the dangers that confront; them, but their sole thought is for the dear ones at home, and It's all worthwhile. Offers to Bring Back Kaiser One boy from Buffalo possibly a "wharf rat" in his early life, in a scrawling hand wrote to his mother that he was "fine and hope you arc the same" and as he handed ihe card to Mrs. W.

Hut recently some Westerners and In dians arrived at the Pennsylvania station riding astride of the car wlpdowe in true cowboy fashion.

Their yells could be heard for blocks, but in every instance when a can teen worker handed them some thing, there came the response: "Thank you, missus; What place is this?" The words on the postal cards speak volumnes. For instance one man who*e surroundings had evi dently not been what they might have, wrote —"Dear mother. Do not worry. I am coming back to you, and will be a better man. Show this to Laura." A Kansas man wrote to his girl ir. terms of affection, and added: "I wish you would go and see mother every day." Then too a Philadelphia colored man wrote to his mother to this effect: "I slipped out as I did not want to see you | break down and I forgot my bag— Love from Moe." Another colored man who was undoubtedly dis turbed sent this message to his girl —"Dear Liza. Don't marry until I come back." This message went to another mother:—"l have faith in my Maker; I am willing to give up my life for my country. God be with you, mother dear, and we shall pray for each other." Thousands Of cards are mr.rked x x x x x x, and every school child knows what that means. The members of the com mittee meet and treat all alike, and many a postal card contained these words:—"Good bless the ladles of the Red Cross." Need Magazines Aside 'rom the refreshments that are served the boys need magazines, and It Is suggested that any one who has magazines of recent dates as semble them in their own or a neighbor's house and telephone Mrs. W. IT. Galther, 206 South Front street, telephone No. 3744, whereupon the Red Cross Motor Messenger service will call for tham. Other contributions will be gladly received; for Instance recently _a well-known Harrlsburger furnished 4,000 postal cards bearing the pic ture of -he capitol, and the words "Harrisburg Branch, Red Cross Can teen Service." The local committee stamped them, and they have gone and are going all over the United States. Tho local members of the canteen committee are enthusiastic In their praiso of the assistance given them by the employes of the railroads, who are doing everything possible to help In this excellent work.

Penns.v and Reading lines are still in circulation. That some trains will j be eliminated is not denied. It is' also said that with the new time j tables, the traveling public must i travel to suit the railroads. This means there is likely to be some| long waits at points where the main! 1 line connects with branch roads. The ' i Reading will take care of business for Penns.v where joint arrange-; ments have been made, and the \ • Pennsy will do likewise for Read-j ing. Through trains from New York' to Chicago will be continued.. There' is a probability that the far west will be reached with better facili ties. A dispatch from Chicago says: Chicago a Way Station "Visions of Chicago as a way sta l tion on the line from New York to | San Francisco, with transcontinental j trains merely hesitating at this point instead of passengers being com pelled to transfer from one road to another and stay over here perhaps for hours, were inspired by the trip of inspection made to Chicago's rail way terminals by Secretary McAdoo to-day. "One of the big ends emphasized as desirable to be attained by reor ganizing Chicago's terminals was agreed to be continuous operation of through trains from East to West without the delays and transfers in cident to thp present system by which eastern and western roads terminate at different depots here. " 'I am just beginning to under stand the problem,' said Mr. Mc- Adoo. 'I have known for years, of course, that the Chicago terminal situation needed improvement, but there are great difficulties to be over come. However, I hope we shall be able, with the present facilities, to work out a plan which will give better service.' " I .ess Duplications The action of the Federal railroad administration in eliminating dupli- I cations in service on lines between I Philadelphia and Atlantic City will not affect the trains between Read | ing and Philadelphia, according to I local authorities. The changes con- I sist mostly of rearranging trains running at the same hours, and dis tributing" the service over both roads. The new arrangement was announced by C. H. Markham, re gional director of railroads, in Phila delphia, to become effective on I Thursday. Local and excursion j trains on each line, as well as elec tric trains will be continued as at 1 present. No change will be made in , the Sunday service on either line. Lieut. Snyder, Harrisburg .
