Sousa and His Band To-uight
It has been remarked repeatedly
that, notwithstanding the exaggera
tions of his imitators, Sousa is the
sanest of the bandmasters of the gen
eration. 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.

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

Special three-reel Lubin dramatic
production, "The White Mask," is the

the public that "we ha.ve cut the pKcer

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.

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

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
