He eschews the meaningless and wholly theatrical mannerisms which are affected by so many other leaders for the sole purpose of at tracting attention and eliciting com ment: Sousa leads 'with an easy grace that seems to be a part of the mimic he is conducting, yet with a masterful precision which absolutely controls the wonderful body of musicians banded together in his name. The programs presented by Sousa and hifi band al ways contain something new, and we are wondering what special treat will be offered when they appear here at the Majestic this evening.—Adv.* David Warfield A very pretty sentiment marks the appearance at the Majestic to-morrow evening of David Warfield, who will once more, under the direction of David Belasco, appear as Simon Levi, in "The Auctioneer." This ie the character that brought him his first great fame on the legitimate stage thirteen years ago. The occasion will be a ,happv reunion for both the older and younger generation of theatre goers, who will be enabled once again to view this great artist in a role that commands the love and sympathy of all. Affectionate old Simon Levi, the Hester street second-hand dealer, was the first of Mr. Warfield's notable creations and without a doubt It ranks as his greatest achievement. Certainly it is the characterization that seems to appeal most to the popular fancy, if tho ovations that have been tendered this beloved artist wherever he has appeared so far this season, are any criterion.—Adv.* "Little Mary Mack" An agreeable surprise is in store for local playgoers, in "Little Mary Mack," which comes to the Majestic theatre' Saturday matinee and even ing. This musical comedy, unlike other musical comedies, is a strictly American play. There is not the sem blance of Europeanism or other alien quality albout it. Hitherto it was con sidered indispensable that some scene should be laid in a picturesque corner of the Old World, bvt the producers of "Littler Mary Mack" have defined tradition. Delbert E. Davenport, producer of "Little Mary Mack," also is tho au thor of the book and lyrics. The music is by Newton Ashenfleldcr and Big mund Romberg. Fred Bishop, who staged "The Three Twins," "My Best Girl" and "The Debutante," di- rected the dancing in "Little Mary Mack," which was staffed by Edwin T. Emery, of the IShubert forces. Adv.* Girls to Bun Country Store Everybody who ever purchased any thing from a paper of pins to furnish ings for a now home, will agree that the task of shopping i 9 made le6s arduous when the customer deals with a fascinating miss on the other side of the counter. At tho Colonial theatre's ,Country Store this eveliing, a half dozen of the prettiest girls in vaude ville will take charge and wait on the customers that go to the stage for their "gifts. These girte are the living models in the "Haberdashery" act that ;s beinig talked of so widely as one of the 'best features the Colonial ever offered. After they have complet ed their routine work of displaying the beautiful garments that ibelong in their act, thev will take a hand at the Colonial's weekly store event and pass these articles out to customers as they come to the stage. Thie will be a nov elty that will make the Colonial's Country Store well worth attending to-night. "The Haberdashery Girls," are one of a bill of four acts that com bine to make the present program at the Colonial very good. To-morrow there will be a new bill whieh will continue for the remainder of the week. This will be headed by Colvin, a sensational hypnotist who has made audiences laugh in almost every city from coaat to coast. —Adv.* At the Regent Dustin Farnum, remembered by hun dreds of theatregoers in Harrisburg as the star in "The Virginian'* and other famous plays of like calibre, will make his first appearance today as a lent stage" actor in Jesse L. Lasky's' presentation of "Cameo Kirby" at the Regent theatre. "Cameo Kirby" is only the third "movie" production in which the popular actor has participat ed, and it was only by special arrange ment that he could be engaged to take the stellar role. "Cameo Kirby" is a Southern story, full of thrills and hu man interest, and brings back scenes of many years agd Auction sales of slaves are' showu in every detail and races between boats on the Mississippi i near New Orleans make the picture unique and picturesque. "Cameo Kir ■by'' will be shown to-night and to morrow. For Friday, Manager Megaro an nounces "The Fairy and the Waif" and for Saturday a film ,"Valley of the Missing," which has just been re leased. A^v.* At Photoplay To-day Special three-reel Lubin dramatic production, "The White Mask," is the headliner to-day at the Photoplay the atre, along with our regular first-run program of the best film manufacturers in th«/ world. We wish to announce to the public that "we ha.ve cut the pKcer but not the show," and each day will be seen the regular two and three-reel feature productions of the licensed manufacturers. Maurice Costello, of the Vitagraph Company, plays to-day in "The Heart of Jim Brice." Adv.* Art and Nature Art is the revelation of man, and not merely that, tout likewise the revela tion of nature, speaking through man. Art pre-exists in nature, and nature is reproduced in art. As vapors from the ocean, floating landward and dissolved in rain, are carried iback in rivers to the ocean, so thoughts and fhe sem blances o¥ things that fall upon the soul of man in showers flow out again in living streams of art and lose them selves in the great ocean, w'hic'h is na ture. Art and nature are not, then, dis cordant, 'but ever harmoniously work ing in each other.—'Longfellow. $3.00 to New York and return via Reading Railway, Sunday, April 18.— Adv. y.nim IB CHIEF Appointed to Succeed Bigelow, and Senate Promptly Confirms His Name $8,500,000 FOR STATE ROADS This Amount Provided Under Terms of Measure Introduced By Senator Sproul With Endorsement of the Administration Simultaneously with the confirma tion by the Senate last night of Gov ernor Brumbaugh's appointment of Robert J. Cunningham, county control ler of Allegheny county, to the post as State Highway Commissioner, for a term of four years, to succeed E. M. Bigelow, resigned, came the introduc tion of a bill by Senator Sproul carry ing an appropriation of for general highway work for the next two years. The biH ( was introduced following a conference with the Governor and it represents the views of Governor Brumbaugh, Senator Sproul and the chairmen of the appropriations com mittees of both branches of the legis lature as to the amount which can bo spared for road purposes. Mr. Cunningham, who had been prominently mentioned for the high way commissiouership since the resig nation of Mr. Bigelow, has been prom inent in Allegheny politics and served a term in the State Hcnate. *WOO Tor Each Mile of Eoad Of the amount carried by the bill, $6,000,000 is specifically appropriated for the maintenance ani improvement of State highways under the act of 1911 and its amendments. This means that the entire State highway system, including those roads added to the original Sproul plan two years ago, will be retained as State highways. This 'allowance will give a.bout S3OO per mile a year for State highways, and it is the judgment of Deputy Com missioner Hunter and Chief Engineer Uhler that this amount "will be suf ficient to keep the roads in very good condition and do considerable perma nent work. The sum of $'500,000 is appropriat ed for the purchase or condemnation of turnpikes upon highway routes; $1,000,000 is set aside for the construction and maintenance of State aid highways, and the remaining sl,- 000,000 is to be devoted to the jmy ment of a portion of the expense of the maintenance of township roads, as provided by the Jones bill. To Pay Deficiencies to Townships Representative Jones has introduced a separate bill making provision for the payment of deficiencies (\ue by the State to townships under the operation of this law. The appropriation bill introduced by Senator Sproul provides that the ap propriations made therein shall include and not be in addition to the amounts received by the Commonwealth for the licensing of motor vehicles during the next two years. This prevents any question arising regarding the validity of the appro priation of the funds received for automobile 'licenses, which matter is now pending in the Supreme Court upon appeal by the Auditor General and State Treasurer from a decision of the Dauphin county courts on the ap plication of the law of 1913, which provided that moneys received from ■automobile licenses should be devoted to highway purposes. To prevent any delay or risk of tryirog up these fuuds, the present bill provides for a specific appropriation to the department. M'CLAIN TO FIGHTTHE REGISTRATION" REPEALER Lieutenant Governor McClain de clared last night that -foe will tight any attempt to put through the Senate the Habgood bill repealing the personal registration law for third class cities, which the House passed yesterday morning. The law requiring personal regis tration in cities of the third class has been in operation for years. McClain was sponsor for the measure, and dis cussing the passage of tho repealer by the House, he said: "I cannot believe that there is any serious intent to repeal what I consider one of the most effective laws upon the SKIN GOT DRY PIMPLESBROKE OUT Could Not Sleep.
