MACALARNEV GOES TO TRIBUNE
Former Harrisburger to Become City-
Editor of New York Newspaper
Kobert E. MacAlarnev, formerly of
Harrisburg, the announcement of whose
retirement as head of the Pulitzer
School of Journalism in Columbia Uni
versity was made some time ago, will
remain there until next June, and then
assume the city editorship of the New
York ''Tri'bune."
Since the announcement was made of
Mr. MacAlarnev's intention to retire
from the Pulitzer school lie has had a
number of offers, but the place on the
'"Tribune" is most congenial to him.
Mr. MacAlarnev is a native Harris
burger, the son of the late Joseph C.
MacAlarney, who was prominent at the
Dauphin county bar. His first newspa
per experience was gained in this city.
VICTORIA SPECIAL TO-DAY
The funniest Keystone comedy ever
offered in Harrisburg, featuring Mabel
and Fatty in bathing suits, is "The Sea
Nymphs," a ripping two-reeler, which
heads an excellent bill of above the
average photoplays ait t'he Victoria the
atre, 223 Market street, to-day only.
Fatty, with wife, mother-in-law and
implements in the shape of numerous
boxes, bags and bundles, goes for an
outing at Santa Catalina Island. On
the steamer he is badly smitten. Mabel
is traveling with tlie parental neces
sity—a very significant-looking little
father with side whiskers. Fatty un
aware of the relationship interferes
with the old duck flirting with the
young chickens and pitches him over
board. The whole party then goes
swimming and Fatty and (Maibe! give
a diving exhibition and the thrilling
program concludes with Fatty getting
j liis and Maibel is dragged unceremoni
j ously off by her enraged parent.
Equally full of thrills is "Lieut.
| Daring and the International Jewel
I Thieves, a three-reel special, which
i also is at the Victoria to-day. Exciting
| adventures, plots and counter-plots in
j terming led with daring esca.pes com-
prise every inch of the film.
Another Keystone comedy, which is
full of fun, is "The Wild and Wooily
West," in one reel and "The Path'e
Daily News," showing latest views on
j the big war, conclude to-day's Victoria
! program. Adv.**"
