TYPHOID CHECKED IN NEWPORT
Only :122 Cases In Whole State Last

Reports to-day from Xewport, Perry
county, to the State Health Depart
ment, are to the effect that there
have been no new cases of typhoid de
veloped, and it is thought the epidemic
has %een cheeked.
There were 63 cases in all, and three
deaths before the department assufned
charge. Typhoid cases throughout the
State were fewer during the month of
April this year than ever before in
that month. In 1906, when Dr. Dixon
first assumed charge of the State
Health Department, there were 2,100
cases of typhoid reported in April, but
during last April, tout 332 cases were
reported. It is sought still to reduce
this number.

Christie Mac Donald
Of all the musical comedy and com
ic opera stars who have pleased Har
risburg's more discriminating theatre
goers none has met with more approval
perhaps, than pretty, dainty Christie
Mac Donald. Consequently the play-go
ing folks read with more than ordi
nary delight the announcement of the
coming of Miss Mac Donald next Thurs
day night in "Sweethearts." Inci
dentally this pretty, sweet voiced sing
er could not have appeared in a play
that is bound to meet with such gen
eral commendation. "Sweethearts" is
a story of old Flanders, a fairy tale of
the disappearance of the Princess Syl
via, of her life as a waif, of the coming
of Prince Franz, of the discovery of
Sylvia's royal blood. Of course thev
live happily ever afterward. To the
dainty charm of Miss Mac Donald, must
be added some additional features that
will make the play mighty well worth
going to see. For instance there will
be a big, very lovely chorus, scenic set
tings that will be beautiful and, finally,
music by Victor Herbert.—Adv. *

The summer theatrical season will
have its beginning at the Paxtang Park
theatre this evening. Harry Beck will
start the ball rolling with his much
heralded, "Made in Harrisburg," min
strel show, and Beckie promises that it
will be some production. For the past
three months I.Mr. Beck has been gath
ering the 'best of local singing talent
for his big show at the park. Karl
Burtnell, of the Feist Music Publish
ing Company, has attended to the mu
sical end of the program and nearly
all the latest song hits will be used in
the show. Mr. Beck will be seen in his
usual position on one of the ends and
promises to tell at least one original
joke, [f he does that he will surpass
anything we have seen in the way of
minstrel end men in the past ten years.
Or perhaps Beckie means that he will
tell the original minstrel joke, which
we are able to conceive as being quite
probable.—Adv.*
Electrical Venus at Colonial
The electrical Venus is to be the
headliner at the Colonial theatre dur
ing the first three days of this week.
This is a very pleasing spectacular nov
elty in a class with some other sight
acts that have been presented at the
Colonial, hut different than any of the
others. The Selvinos will give a shad
owgraph a<'t with some new features to
it. Larguy and Snee are a man and
woman in one of those entertaining
flirtation skits. Lang and Coulter also
have a comedy sketch. The Colonial
is enjoying some of the best Tnisiness
it hat ever known. Never was the
house on the 'busy corner more popular
than it is now. Theatregoers get some
good vaudeville, and they also get some
good pictures. And the price is cheap.

At the Regent
Mary Pickford, Harrisburg's favor
ite, is at the Regent to-day anil to
morrow. In the film version of Henri
etta Crossman's former starring ve
hicle, "Mistress Nell," the famous
drama of the gallant days of the gay
•King Charles (2), IMary 'Pickford por
trays that Wonderful character so often
called the greatest heroine of historic
and romantic drama, with such skill
and charm as to make it one of her
greatest screen triumphs. Nell Gwvn,
the whimsical, impulsive and piquant
little favorite of the public and the
monarch of England, whose bravery
and wit save her royal lover from
treachery at home and abroad, is one
of the most amazing characters ever
presented in a drama, and Mary Pick
ford lends a new and vivid beauty to
"Mistress Nell" of whom it has 'been
said, "England would not be as great
without her!" The tender lover in
terest of the story is dramatically de
veloped in this dashing romance of
the swashbuckling period of hearts and
swbrds, and Mistress Nell's complete
triumph over fhe enemies of the King,
and over the heart of the King him
self, is thrillingly and realistically por
trayed. This is a Paramount program.
Wednesday aiwi Thursday another Para
mount production, "Buckshot John,"
is a comedy in five reels. This picture
will not he repeated in any other the
atre in this city.—Adv."

Munchausen
"The Travels of Baron Munchausen,"
as we have them, are a compound from
a great variety of sources. The first
installment, which professes to be
based on the real baron 's own tales, is
scarcolv a quarter of the whole, and
even this has beeii traced in great part
to various German, Italian tod Portu
guese origins. Afterward the autnoi
vribbed avowedly from Lucian and
added a second volume intended as a
satire oil Bruce's "Travels." Most of
the early editions were entitler "Gul
liver Revived; or, the Vice of Lying
Properly Exposed."—London Tatler.
