At a time when the particular fancy of the theatergoers, more especially those who have pre "Oilil* and dilectlons for musical Ends of 1U1S" plays, seems to turn to the so-called inti mate form of musical comedy offer ings, with rather a preference for re vue, it Is of more than passing Inter est to note the coming of the musical revue. "Odds and Ends of 1918," to the Orpheum to-night and to-morrow. "Odds and Ends of 1918" is by no means intended to be episodic, traves- I tying on nothing but N'evt York's ) theatrical successes, but Is meant to I embrace all events of national Inter-: | est, with a wide scope to work upon. ; The book is bv Bide Dudley and John j I Godfrey. Bide Dudley is probably the i best-known newspaperman in New i jYork City, his column on the back < I page of the New York Evening World | being widely read. John Godfrey is . I an English writer, having many sue- | I cesses to his credit in London. The j lyrics and music are by Dudley, God frey and James Byrenes, with inter j polated songs by Weston and Lee. j Of all the opera composers Verdi, I the great Italian master, did more to popularize grand opera than i "Aldn" the composers of any other land. ; While there have been opera com- | 1 posers in every country who have i 1 given the world successful operas. | such as will live for all time to come, i none of them, with the exception of Richard Wagner, have left behind as , many suceessful operas as Verdi. And I even Wagner did not succeed in creat ing musical masterpieces which have , become so dear to the lovers of pure. | flowing melody, so popular with the | masses as Verdi's "Trsvlata." "Ill; Trovatore." "Rigoletto." "Lucia." but j perhaps the most beloved of all, j "Aida." . .. I "Aida," which will be given by the ; Crer.tore Grand Opera Company at j the Orpheum on Monday, is considered . Verdi's masterpiece for more reasons than one. Not only Is the opera full of wonderful melodies, but with its | scenic possibilities laid in the mystic i Orient, it pleases the eye, and gives ; the scenic artist an unlimited field for , most effective and artistic stage set tings. There Is unusual interest in the forthcoming production of A. H. Woods' notable farce '•Pnrlor. comedy success. "Parlor. Tledroom Bedroom and Bath.' and Hath" which will be presented . at the Orpheum Theater on Tuesday and Wednesday for an engagement of two days, with daily VICTORIA THEATER To-day and To-morrow First showing of the most puzzling mys terv story eier screened.

WATCH FOR DATES Admission, 10c nnd 20c nnil war tax matinees, direct from a solid year's I run in Chicago and New York. It : comes to the Orpheum Theater after ah engagement of more than eight months at the Republic Theater. Now i York, where it continued well luto the ,! summer, playing to capacity audi ences, It la said to have scoied more laughs than any play on the New ; Y'ork stage last season. Certainly few I plays have received such enthusiastic approval from the New York press. The Evening Mail called it "two horns of laughter." The New York Tribune I declared that it had "more fizz than •Pair and Warmer." " The play pre | sents one of the most extraordinary , and amusing plots seen on the stage .in many seasons. it concerns the : pseudo romantic adventures of an in nocent young husband, who is com j polled to pretend to a life of amorous I experience in order to please his ro | munttcally adoring wife. As a result of his deception he finds himself, much against his will, in a secluded wayside inn. in a compromising position, with more ladles than he had bargained for. The resulting situation kept ail New- York and Chicago laughing for an en . tire year. "Hearts of the World." the produc tion that is conceded to be 1). W. Grif fith's masterpiece, sur j Griffith passing both his "In : Masterpiece tolerance" and "The | Announced Birth of a Nation," wili be the attraction i at the Orpheum for three days, start j Ing Thursday. January 2, with daily l matinees. | The fact that Mr. Griffith spent eighteen months on the battletlelds of j France would seem to indicate that j "Hearty, of the World" is a war play. | To the contrary, and on the authority | of Mr. Griftith himself, it not about I the war. but about the people to whom the war came—and for this reason it makes the war real. Don't miss the opening instalment of the widely-advertised serial, "The • Dure of the Circus," at the At the Majestic the last half of , Majestic this week. Each episods will be shown every Thurs day. Friday and Saturday, but not! | Saturday night. "Eddie" Polo, the | world-renowned circus acrobat, is the I star of the serial, and is supported i by his beautiful wife. Pearl Polo; Ei- i leen Sedgewick and a huge circus I cast. The vaudeville bill the last three ! days is an exceptionally strong one. j and is certain to prove one of the most popular of the season. The head- ; liner is George Choos' latest musical comedy, "What's the Use?" with; twelve clever people. There is a chorus of pretty girls, who make! numerous changes of costumes, each • being more elaborate than the one; preceding it. This, togetlfbr with an attractive stage setting, makes a pleasing stage picture. The act is full • of good comedy, singing and dancing, and altogether furnishes good enter tainment. Oscar Lorraine, "nut" vio- I linist. scored a big hit at yesterday's! performances. There is excellent com- ' edy in,the act and everyone is given an opportunity to get all the enjoy ment possible out of the act. A 1 and Lena Anger also please with their comedy, songs and nonsense. King and. Brown are clever entertainers, and offer quite a novelty In the way of vaudeville entertainment. j To-day and to-morrow talented ; Alice Brady will be seen in her latest. screen success, "Her Great At the Chance." an adaptation Colonial from the celebrated novel by the same title by Fannie Hurst. It is a very interesting story of everyday life, the story of a girl j who marries a man to reform him. I Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I Harold Lockwood, the favorite of everybody, will be seen in a Metro | special, "Pals First." The One Hundred and Forty-third Field Artillery, commanded by Colo nel R. J. Fanuer, decided a At the long time ago to adopt Miss Hegent Mary Pickford as a god mother. With the adoption, she was given the title of honorarv colonel, and now this regiment, which the adorable little actress calls her very own. is overseas resting after a strenuous chase of the Huns. They are pictured in the latest Artcraft produc tion, "Johanna Enlists," being pre sented at the Regent Theater for the last times to-night. "His Wife's Friend." a very enjoyable Sennett I comedy, js also being shown. To-morrow's attraction is Shirley Mason and Ernest Truex, in a snappy, patriotic comedy feature. "Come On In." It is aptly named. "Come On In" Is the story of two would-be spy- 1 hunters, and how they found each 1 other. Miss Mason plays her part with 1 inimitable expression and a sympa thetic understanding, mixed with ex- I quisite humor, that rocks her audience with laughter. "Her Blighted Love," a Sennett comedy, is also scheduled. "The Master Mystery," the puzzling, gripping mystery serial which has set the entire city talking,! At the will have its opening show- > Victoria ing at the Victoria Theater to-day.

II t Harrisburg Music Director Defines Grand Opera t "I am certain that when I express i my Joy over the coming of grand ! J opera. I am speaking not only for '' myself, but for thousands of Harrts • j burg music lovers. You sec, no one ■ ; can appreciate the great educational j role and entertaining powers of grand j opera like the professional musician, who devotes hi* best efforts toward ; the true musical emancipation of his ; community. \ j "If one considers that at a grand . opera performance the audience is I brought face to face with the best 1 | elements in all the arts, it will be easy ! enough to appreciate the fact that no ' matter how many symphony concerts* ; | choral concerts we give throughout I the musical season, and no matter I how many famous soloists entertain I us with their brilliant performances, none of these musical treats can make up for the loss of good operatic per formances." Here 1 ventured to interrupt the enthusiastic music director: "If that's the case, would yotf Con sider grand opera as the highest form ' in musical art?" "Yes. and no," replied Mr. Phillips, ■ with a telling smile. "Of course, every serious student of music will have to admit that the very highest form in musical urt is chamber music, for in the creation us well as interpretation I of such musical works the creator, as I well as the interpreter, can only at tain the acme of perfection through i their own personal artistry ugaided by ' 1 any other outside influences or me- j | diums. "On the other hand, grand opera is I the happiest combination of every j known art in which each blends and | j helps the other, and as such a foree j ful combination of all that's the best ! in every art" grand opera makes an ! trresistible appeal. One does not have to be a very cultured music lover to i ; appreciate grand opera, for this is the only theatrical art In which a direct ; appeal is made to one's sense of see i ing as well as hearing." Uncle Sam Owes State Half Million According to figures compiled at ; the Adjutant General's Department! ,as the result of a survey of the; j property in the hands of the National ; ; Guard of Pennsylvania when it went' 'into the federal service the United; States government will owe the: rstate almost $500,000. This will in- > elude tentage. clothing and othefj Items which the state purchased for j the Guard and which were taken to i camps'. The matter will be taken up jwith Washington officials, j To-morrow will be tlie fifteenth day since the equity proceedings to .restrain the creation of the War Serv : ice Bureau and payment of any j moneys to Governor Brumbaugh as j ! war historian were instituted _ and ' ithus far no service of the papers has been had on Governor Brum- i baugh. Other state officials have been served with the papers, but no an nouncement as to what course is to be followed has been made. State Health Department en gineers are still at work on the in vestigation into Huntingdon's water supply, but no report has been filed. The influenza conditions in various cities are not considered alarming at. the Capitol. | Capitol guides f and attaches at ■whose offices "Chiefy" Gilncr used to; call several times a day will send a \ floral keystone to the funeral of the ! "Chief" to-morrow and will attend! j the services. The city of Erie to-day entered 1 : complaint against the new rates of ] the Mutual Telephone Company, of ; j that city, alleging that they are un- j I Just and in violation of a franchise! • contract. The fares and condition of j ! cars on the Pittsburgh, Harmony, j Butler and New Castle Railway were ! attacked in a complaint filed with 'the Public Service Commission by an organization known as the Har mony route patrons. Complaint that the Ablngton Electric Company, La- Plume, would not furnish service ex cept at a high rate was also filed. Don Juan—and the forgiveness of wo man is ardent and passionate, Women have adored Byron without ever read ing his poems. So is the romantic side of woman's nature summarised in "Parlor, Bed room and BatK," the screamingly j funny farce comedy which scored so | sensational a success in New York last I season, and which A. H. Woods will i present at the Orpheum Theater on I Tuesday and New Year's for an en gagement of two days. The play tells the story of a woman who married a , man because she was attracted by the stories of his scarlet past. The poor husband Is in reality a naive and vir ginal fellow with an inveterate terror of women, but to retain his domestic happiness he is compelled to assume the air of a bold and dauntless in triguer, even to the extent of writing I himself scented love letters. ' ; TEUTON SAILORS TRIUMPH IN HUN I CLASH IN BERLIN i _ Compromise Reached Where by They Agree to Cease Re volt Against Government By Asibcialed Brest 1 Berlin, Dec. 27. —An eleventh hour 1 pom promise with the revolting sall " ors by the Ebcrt-Schetdemann sec ■ : lion of the government, apparently • saved Berlin from an extremist I Christmas to-day.

Lilley and Samuel Lane, mo tive power Instructor on the Penn sylvania Railroad, were the princi pal speakers at the second of a series of lectures given under the auspices of the Friendship and Co-operative Club. J. D. Long, president, in the Pennsylvania Railroad Y. M. C. A., last evening. "Safety First" was the topic of the meeting, well attended by railroad men. The prevention of industrial acci dents through educational methods was the theme of Mr. Lilley's ad dress. Sixty to seventy per cent, of all industrial accidents are due to care lessness, Mr. Lilley told. He related how educational organizations are al ready doing much constructive work In the Pennsylvania Railroad indus trial plants and many other industries of the state.- Interesting slides of the industrial plants of the states were shown by C. H. Spotts, yard conduc tor, illustrating the. purt played by carelessness in industrial accidents. Announcements were niade last evening that the third of these edu cational meetings will be held on tho last Thursday In January at Eagle's Hall. "Mechanical Development of Locomotive Injectors" will be the topic at 'this meeting. Traffic Conditions Bettered in November Marked betterment in traffic con ditions during the month of Novem ber is noted by C. H. Markham, regional director of the Allegheny region, in a report to the director general of railroads. The number of bad order cars, he says, decreased 2,578 compared wih Ocober, 1918. Locomotive output increased . 6 per cent, as compared with October, due to better working conditions, influ enza not being so prevalent, but the locomotives out of service increased 50. The railroads received 15 locomo tives built in their shops, and 100 from locomotive builders, leaving 819 to be received to complete 1918 pro gram. "Addition and betterment work during the latter part of the month made better progress due to abilitv to recruit more labor as the demand has not been so great In the war in dustries. By concentrating on engine house and yard improvements, a lurge portion of such work hes been com pleted, or is nearing completion, so that benefit will be derived during the present winter from these ex penditures." EXPLAIN NEW SHOP SCHEDULE The eastern regional director gives the following interpretation about shop hours from the director gen eral: "The purpose of this order was to reduce the hours worked in loco motive shops prul roundhouses and in carshops and . alr yards to a basis of eighth hi .per day on December 9. At rounu,louses and other places where the work Is continuous 24 hours a day, three eight-hour shifts should be established. In shops where a single eight-hour shift will not properly maintain the equipment a second shift should be organized as soon as men can be obtained, pending which the work should be taken care of by necessary overtime in accord ance with agreements with the em ployes." 1919 PASSES BEING RECEIVED The first quota of railroad passes for the year 1919 are now being re ceived by Pennsylvania and Phila delphia and Reading railroad em ployes In this territory from federal railroad administration officials. No changes have been made In pass regulations for the ensuing year. Railroad Notes An agreement has been made be tween the Weatheriy Foundry and Machinery Company, and the Le high Valley railroad through which the Weatherly firm will repair the cars of the Hazleton and Mahanoy division. The Reading Railway Company has received another large Mallet locomotive from Baldwin. Fourteen such engines are now in ( use and six more are expected soon* These big engines shove 35 heavy steel cars up the Frackville grade. A. E. Owen, chief engineer of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, has had his jurisdiction .extended to In clude the Reading railway, the At lantic City railroad and Port Read ing railroad, vice S. T.

NOTICE RETA L DRUGG STS - ND MORE VAPOPUB 0 REGI BUY II fROM YOUR JOBBER Effective Immediately, No More Direct Shipments Will Be Made Retailers. All Shipments Now Go to Jobbers for Redistribu tion. When the influenza epidemic struck the country and wiped out warehouse and jobbers' stocks al most over night, wo were faced with the problem of distributing—to the stricken districts —in the quickest posslWe manner—our dally output of Vapoßub. We solved this by offer ing to ship direct to the retailers in these in ii)fl#enza districts, by parcel post prepaid, quantities of not more than three dozen Vapoßub in any one shipment, and by shipping what was left from our daily production to our jobbers by express instead of freight. This was costly, but it solved the problem for the tijpe being. Now, however, we find that these small shipments are constantly increasing —we have received as many as 1,306 In a single mail.

We believe that wo can serve yotl better now by reverting to our for mer policy of shipping exclusively through the jobber, and, effective im mediacy, no more drop shipments will be made. While we have put on a night shift and have, thereby, about dou bled our production, we are still unable to fill our buck orders and won't be able to give each jobber all the Vapoßub he wants. Hence, it will be necessary for the Jobbers to continue distributing Vapoßub in small lots only. But we will bo fAlc to furnish each jobber at least twice the quantity of Vapoßub that he purchased for the corresponding month last year, so thero should not be any difficulty in your getting your pro rata share. We feel that the public appreci ates the service that the retail and ••holesale drug trade have rendered the country in this time of stress, Wo wish to express to both branches of the trade our thanks for the kind co-operation extended us "In our ef fort to meet this emergency.
