LINCOLN HIGHWAY NOTES
L«wi«town Men Complete 8,000-Mile
Drive From New York to
Frisco, Via Seattle
K. C. McNitt and J. J. Patterson, of
Lewistown, Pa., who recently completed
an 8.000-mile drive from New York to
Seattle, Wash., and to San Francisco,
followed the Lincoln Highway for much
of the way as far as Denver and, ac
cording to a recent statement, were par
ticularly impressed with the condition
of the roads in lowa. Patterson said,
"lowa is certainly to be congratulated
on her good roads, and the best part of
it is that no great amount of money has
been spent on them. Their good roads
are mostly due to co-operation and to
intelligent work. After every rain the
roads are gone over with a drag and
it is certainly remarkable the good that
does."
Ten military automobiles are in the
process of construction by the students
of the Northwestern Military and Naval
Academy at Lake Geneva, Wis., and
some time in June or July these cars,
driven by students and accompanied by
officers of the United States Army, wiil
follow the Lincoln Highway from Chi
cago to the Pacific coast. The tour is
a most important one as its purpose is
to demonstrate to the government the
utility of this type of gasoline vehicle.
The cars include two wireless, one
field kitchen, one ambulance and field
hospital combined, one officers' recon
noissanee car, one car for the trans
portation of light field artillery, one
armored car. two balloon destroyers,
and one engineers' car.

"II Trova tore"
The Boston English Opera Company,,
which comes to the Majestic to-day.
matinee and night, is followowing a)
new method in the presentation of op- ■
era. Instead of doing live or six dif
ferent operas in an indifferent manner,

it has confined all its enorgy to one
opera, making a production of rare
beauty and what is more important,
every member of the company has been
I selected for his special ability in this
| one opera.
It does not require a great deal of
i thought to realize that such a course j
jean have only one result, namely, to!
i make a performance teu times better,;
more finished and in every way su-j
: perior than would be possible when n
j half dozen operas are i!«ne. —Adv. *
"Under Cover "
The United States Secret Service is
the latest theme for a play, and Roi[
Cooper Megrue has taken the opera- j
tions of the detective bureau as the ba j
! sis for "Under Cover," the dramatic i
sensation of the year in New York and
I Chicago. "Under Cover" deals with
! the smuggling of a $200,000 pearl |
, necklace and the effort of the secret!
'service to trace the smugglers. "Under
J Cover"' is a play of thrills: primarily,!
iit is melodrama, and yet it does not
; over emphasize some phases of the se
j cret service work. So emphatic lias j
: been the success of the play that it has,
; alre& IV passed its two hundredth per-;
j formance in New York and Chicago,
j Selwvn & Co., who gave "Within the
!Law" to the stage, will present their
j latest stu'eess, "Under Cover," at the:
; Majestic Wednesday matinee and night;
j and they have taken particular care in '
I the selection <Vf the cast for tlw per-1
i formance in this city. Each player has J
i been selected with particular regard !
i for the rale to be played and in thii j
]>sase it is the ensemble playing rather,
1 than individual work which counts, for j
i the story itself is the entertaining fea
i ture at the attraction. —Adv. *
"When Dreams Come True"
From time to time during the past '
j theatrical season, stories have come to |
the newspapers regarding the success- j
jful engagement played by "When!
,! Dreams Come Tme" In New lork, Chi
i cago and Boston.
11 Our local theatregoers who have no
, doubt read these stories, will now have
an opportunity of seeing this widely
11 discussed musical comedy when it
\ comes to the Majestic Thursday after
noon and night.
| The scenic investiture of the play is
! elaborate to the last degree. One
i scene especially the ballroom in the last
| act representing the highest- degree of
'the scene painters' art. This scene is
! painted on silk aud the woodwork is of
I Circassian walnut. There are nearly a
j score of dancing numbers most oif them
invented by Mr. Santlev and iu nearly
, all of which he participates. A chorus
1 composed largely m pretty girls who
I can sing, dance and wear gowns is a
■ feature of the performance.
The costumes shown in "When
Dreams Come True" are exceptionally
brilliant and represent the last word iu
| the fall fashions. —Adv. *
Smart Gowns for Carlisle Elks
A great deal of local interest is be
i iug taken in the forth-coming produc
tion at the Majestic Theatre otf a plav
' written, staged an 1 presented by mem
! bers of the Carlisle Elks' Theatrical
[ Association. Following the presentation '
i of their new play iu their home Opera
i House, Monday, Tuesday and Wednes
day of next weik. the Carlisle Elks
| will come to Harrisburg and give their
' show at the Majestic Theatre. Friday
' and Saturday with a Saturday matinee.
! Hundreds of tickets have already been
! sold by the local Elks, whose Social
j Committee is responsible for bringing
. this Carlisle aggregation to Harris
burg.
Persons who saw the show giveu by
j the Carlisle Elks at the Majestic last
I year, can vouch that these amateur
| players leave nothing undone that
' might make for success in their the
] atrical undertaking. No professional
i companies ever display more startling
i gowns than those worn by the female
! impersonators in this company, ami
Ralph Harris, the official eostumer for
the Association, has outdone all pre
vious efforts in this year's creations.
Smart dressers among the ladies of
Hnrrisburg will do well to look at this
display at' Hnery, as it will contain
many hints for their new apparel.—

We knew that it was the last,
That the enemy's mines had crept surely

And the end was coming fast.
To yield to that foe meant worse than

And the men and we all worked on;
It was one day of smoke aud roar, !
And then it would all be done.
There was one of us, a corporal's wife, j
A fair young gontle thing,
Wasted with fever in the -*icge,
And her mind was wandering.
[The woman who is supposed to He

by a scream from ;Jessie Brown, the
fever-stricken -wife of the corporal, who
cries out;]
"The Highlanders! O! diuna ye hear
The slogan far awa?
The McGregor's} Ah! I ken it weel;
It is the grandest of them a'.
"God bless the bonny Highlanders;
We're saved! we're saved!" she cried; \'
And fell on her knees, and thanks to
God

Along the battery line her cry
Had fallen among the men;
they started; for they were there
to die,
Was life so near them then?
They listened, for life, and the rattling i

Then Jessie said, "The slogan's dune,
But can ye no hear them, noof

We heard the roar and the rattle afar.
But the pipers we could not hear;
•So the men plied their work of hopeless
war,
And knew'that the end was near.
It was not. long ere it must be heard,
A shrilling, ceaseless sound:
It was no noise of the strife afar,
Or the snappers under ground.
It was the pipe of the Highlanders,
And now they played "Auld Lanff

It came to our men like the voice of

And they shouted along the line/
And they wept and shook each other's

And the wonieu sobbed in a crowd;
And every one knelt down where we

And we all thanked God aloud.
That happy day, when we welcomed
them in,
Our men put Jessie first;
And the General took her hand; and
cheers
From the men like a volley buret.

And the pipers' ribbons and tartan
streamed,
Marching round and round our line;
And our joyful cheers were broken
with tears,
And the pipers plaved "Auld Lanj;
