In this regard the allies are different; already they have fire.l awa> ammunition to the value of sev-; era! hundred thousand dollars. The correspondent at Athens of the " Lokal Ameiger" says the Turks have succeeded in placing new heavy guns in rhe Kum Kale battarv. at the moath of the Dardanelles, which have replied fiercelv to the fire of a French squad ron.

'•The Frenchman which selied us,"' said one of the officers, "was the cruiser Europe. We had passed three warships without being molested before she bore down on us. '" Accordingly it surprised us a little when we we.e stopped. The Europe ; halted us at S o'clock on the night of; February 3T. turned her searchlight on 1 us and kept it there. Presently she sent j aboard a priie crew, an officer and sev en men. They treated the Dacia's offi cers and sailors courteously and took us into Brest, about 40 miles away." , Mosf of the party said they did uot ' know why they were sent pack. by j whom or who paid their fares. They were under orders, they said, not to talk till after they had report®* te Kd ward X. Breituug. who bought the Pa cta, then a German steamship, tuni changed her to American registry. It was stated last night that E.

FORMERPACE'SSECRETARY 1 KILLED ONJRENCH FRONT New York. March 17.—William U Breese, fotgper secretary to Aiubassa dor Page in Ijondon, was killed San day in the lighting on the French front,' according to cable advices reoaive i, yesterday. Mr. Breese was an officer in the Koyal llorse Guards and it was while in action vviui his regiment, which participated in the recent Brit ish offensive movement, that he fell. Mr. Breese leaves a widow, who was Miss .luiia Fish, daughter ot' Hamilton Fish, the banker, and two children. Lady Alister lunes-Ker and the Couut ess of Ancaster are sisters of Mr. Breese. Mr. Breese, who came of an old Xew York family, had live i iu England for the past six years. He became a nat uralised British citi.eu in order to take a commission as lieutenaut in the Koy al Horse Guards. Another secretarv of tiie American Embassy, Harold Vowler. formerly of Xew York, took a commission in the! British army at the same tim.» as Mr. • Breese. A report was published that Mr. Fowler had also been killed. This is erroneous. Mr. Fowler is still in England.

VICTORIA Motion I'i.-tures. PHOTOPLAY Motion Pictures. REGENT Motion Pictures. v. ' "Under Cover" Widespread notoriety, and in some cases criminal prosecution, has follow ed the many recent cases of attempted evasion of j-ayment of duty upon articles 'brought into this country by wealthy and prominent Americans re turning from abroad and these alleged "society smugglers'" have provided one of the hardest problems the agent of the United States secret service at tached to the customs department have been confronted with. This problem forms the basis for "Under Cover," Boi Cooper Megrue's thrilling new melodrama of love, laughter and mys tery which is now playing to crowded houses in both New York and Chicago, and which Selwyn & Company are to offer at the Majestic this afternoon and evening. The author, with an intimate knowl edge of the workings of the secret service in its quest of lawbreakers, has in "Under Cover" fashioned an adroit and consistently entertaining narrative of a pretty young woman, of gentle birth and high social position, who is forced by circumstances to aid the government's agentd i-n tracing the person suspected of smuggling a $200,000 necklace into the United States. In the development of the plot she finds not only her sister, who has been ennueshed in a financial tangle, but the main vhith whom she is iu love, regarded as suspects, and she battles to save both from the clutches-of the law. A solution wholly unexpected oomes at the final moment of the play which is replete with thrills, laughs | and ingenious surprises.—Adv.* Etta Bayuk Speaks "I tell you being a chorus girl isn't what the ticket buying public think*," said Etta Bavuk. of the "When Dreams Come True'' company, who comes to the Majestic to morrow aft ernoon and evening. "I guess I know something about being a chorus girl after six years in stuffy dressing rooms with all kinds of girls, dissatis faction and queer languages. But we never mix with the girls unless we want to and like them especially well. One can take dreadful chances chum ming with chorus neighbors. '•Like most -girls, I was stage struck and my one desire was to be come an actress. My father declared he would never hear of my going on the stage in any capacity. After his death I coaxed mother into letting me join Sam Bernard's company, one of the girls was tak«a sick or was dis charged. and I applied for the |>osition and got it; I had just two days to re hearse before I went on, and, oh, what a couple of days. "You know when a new girl goes into a chorus all the other girls tie claJre they will show her a thing or two and hate her before she ever Shows her scared face in the unwelcome at mosphere. at least that is what hap pened to me."—Adv.* Carlisle Elks' Big Frolic The advance sale of seats for the show to -be given on Friday and Satur day, with Saturday niati'nee, at the Majestie theatre bv the Carlisle Elks, indicates that this year's visit of the home talent actors from Carlisle will surpass in many respects the engage ment of a year ago. The seat sale is large and the reports that have come to Harrisburg from Carlisle where the show has sold out solidly for three days, are to the effeet that last year's show fades materially in comparison with the musical comedy in three acts that the Carlisle boys are now giving. The show consists of the latest songs and whirlwind dances, and the gowns WOITO by the female impersonators are a show in themselves.—Adv.* Maude Adams The coming of Maude Adams to the Majestie next Friday evening in J. M. Barrie's charming eomedv, "Quality Streets, brings to mind that it was in Barrie's dramatization of his own novel. "The Little Minister, '* tbat the actress first stepped forward as a full fledged star. Her success since that time has been of wonderful volume and most of it has been io connection with ; plays from the pen of the gifted j scotch dramatist. Following "The Lit tle Minister'' came "Quality Street," which is now 'being revived, and after j that "Peter Pan." The latter play was j revived two years ago and proved to be more popular than ever. "What Every Woman Knows'' was the next 1 long play from Barrie's pen and this was followed by "The Legend of Leo \ nora." It is a fact regarding Barrie's plays , that they possess esiduring qualities | not to be found in the works of so I many authors. "Peter Pan" is revived each Christmas in and Charles Fronman' has arranged for another re ; vival of "The Little Minister'' in Eragland. The revival of "Quality Street" is meeting the same measure [ of success as did "Peter Pan" upon : its revival. There has always been a call for the play since it was laid ! aside, and Miss Adams has been anxious to bring it back into the light. It was only during her present tour that she saw her way clear to again present the comedy. Those to whom the ' comedy is new will find'it full of Bar -1 rie humor and sentiment that is charm ing. The role played by Miss Adams is that of Phoebe Throssell and the story deals with her love affair.—Adv.* At the Orpheum It has been many a long day since las much clever talent was crowded | into a single vaudeville offering as the one that the Orpheum management presents this week. This is not alone true of the fourteen clever participants of "Safety Finst." the gigantic music al comedy that heads the bill, but it is true of each supporting attraction. I For there is pretty '' Bobby'' Smith ! and her sister, Irene, who bid fair to j score the bigigest hit of any sister team j that ever appeared at the Orpheum. I Their act is original, "classy" and i brim full of dash. They rank just as high as either the Courtney girls or | the Farber sisters in local favor and deserve to. Then there is Bert Levy, | the very interesting eartoo-nist, who draws from the rius to the sub . lime, in very clever fashion. Some times >e will draw an excellent like ness of some great man, he may draw a beautiful dog head and every now and then inject some comedy ■ vein. His way of presenting his drawings | is his own patent and it is easily the j most entertaining iu vaudeville. Mr. Levy will interest the most blaze', he win interest the most intelligent and stop at all the way stations. Speaking of neat and wonderful whirlwind danc ers, its good to think of Burns amd Ful ton, the young man and woman who are delighting Orpheum audiences im mensely on this same bill.. Burns anil Fulton are recognized as vaudeville's most clever whirlwind dancers and their neat, clever and pretty turn at tests to the fact.—Adv.* At the Colonial The Colonial theatre in *in for two I more days of unadulterated mirth, ! while the Five Komical lvops with ; their irresistibly funny comedv' > and songs remain there. And three other Keith attractions of merit are grouped , . with them, including Lesley and Lip , sin, the Prima Donna and the Count; 1 , \\ opinan and Horton, singing and talk j ing comedians, and Hazel Moran, tlite girl with the lariats. For the Country Store ou Wednesday evening, some body is going to come into possession ! of a pair of chubby twins, the nicest j little twins you ever saw in your life. "The Song Doctors," a big musical comedy with pretty girls, clever come dians, special scenery, good saugs and comedy will be the special feature of the bill for the last half of the i week.—Adv.* At the Regent To-day and to-morrow at the Re gent Theatre, there will be paramount program productions, by Daniel Froh man, the great theatrical producer. We will show Wednesday and Thursday, May Irwin, the famous stage star, in "Mrs. Black is Back." bv Oeorge V. As the unfortunate but jolly ■ Mrs. Black who in haste lies to her hua , band a-buut her age, and repents there after al leisure, said leisure being chiefly employed in the manufacture of more deceptions to account for the first. May Irwin is at her best, and j her inimitable facial expression and ex Icellent pantomine render her art es- Ipecially adaptable to the screen. The ! scene following her first lie to her hus : band, in which she learns that he never ; forgives an untruth, is one of the l'un -1 niest situations ever embodied iu com edy film production, and the grotesque anguish qf Miss Irwin is side-splittlug : Iv humorous. Of course, the fatal truth at last comes out and the penitent, Mrs. Black, leaps into an auto, aibout which she understands nothing, and runs away. Her frantic husband sees ! the machine smash, and when, after be lieving her gone from him forever, he ; learns that she escaped injury, he so glad to find "Mrs. Black Ts Back" that he readily forgives her ' and the comedy ends as a comedy should, with a laugh.—Adv. * Byron at Ostend At one time Ostend was a great fort ress looking out over the North sea • through her menacing loophole upon the sails of Vikings. A century ago ißyron made his memorable flight, not from, but to Ostend, iu terror of van dal bailiffs who were laying siege to his mansion in Piccadilly. The poet ! made the journey to Dover in his mag- .■ | niflcent 500 pouihl coach, but had to wait until a storm abated before the mail packet felt if safe to set sail. That i j Byron was far from seasickness !n hU | crossing'M'hilde Harold's Pilgrimage* testifies.—London Standard. 9
