TRACTS. ,Y'S rayette Si Baltimore, Md Particularly those Famous ¦ Sea Fond.Dishes Uncle Bill Walker, who lived at the foot of the Great Smoky, became an easy convert to the propaganda of Mormon missionaries. His brother Sammie, an old magistrate of considerable means and great influence in the Serves you right To your delight TROY Wet Wash Laundry 3101 KATE AVE. Baltimore, Md. f ! coves of the Smokies, was eagerly sought after as a "prospect." Squire Sammie was sitting on his front porch one afternoon when two elders of the new faith came up from the road. "Brother Walker," one of them began courteously, "we have cOme to tell you about the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and we should like to leave some tracts for you to look over." "That's all right, gentlemens," the old mountaineer replied without even taking his pipe frOm his mouth. "You-uns is welcome to leave all the tracks you want to, jist so's the toes of 'em is p'intin' t 'wards yan gate !" A FATEFUL RIDE. Clyde Younghorse, a young Indian suddenly oil-rich, bought himself a $5,000 automobile and drove away. Next day the salesman was confronted by Young-horse again. The Indian was afoot, walked with a limp and bore various contusions and ^raises. This was his explanation: ; "Drive out big car; buy gallon moonshine; take big drink; step on gas.

By a deft trick of artistry Miss Sears has combined the colorful atmosphere and period of Arabian Nights of Three Thousand Years Ago with all the romance and fantasy, yes, and all the comedy too, of our day. The part played by the beguiling little star is that of a young street organ grinder, a role that gives her opportunity to display the all-famed Mitzi gifts, ranging from the comic to the pathetic and the pholosophic by turns. Miss Sears has given to this central character a truly whimsical touch, and Mr. Levy in his music has improvised upon the Barrie-esque witchery with much success, that between them they have provided the elfin Mitzi with the most varied and appealing role of he|.* entire career. In the staging of the production, Henry W. Savage has in every truth out-Savaged Savage. From the opening scene, a prologue laid midst the fabled splendors of the ancient Orient down to a scene in a modern New York palace, the veteran manager has spared neither money or skill. SOCIETY" TO BE PRESENTED AT ACADEMY. Steuart Walker's Baltimore Repertory Company will present "Society" beginning Monday at The Academy. The play is Cosmo amilton's brilliant drama and in the cast will be Julia Hoyt, McKay Morris, Beulah Bondi, Ruth Hammond and other favorites. Stuart Walker's Company is making a hit with local theatregoers, and the presentation of "Society" will give the public one of the best of entertainments. NANCE O'NEILL TO BE AT MARYLAND. Nance O'Neill, the Barnhardt of the American stage, will appear in "All the World's A Stage," by Alfred Surto, author of Ethel Barrymore's "The Laughing Lady." Nance O'Neill with her classical face and features, looks in this new vehicle like a tall white lilly. When she speaks it is as if a great organ was pouring forth melody. The is the finest exponent of the spoken word on the American stage today. In the "Passion Flow^ er," in which she starred for three seasons, appearing more than a thousand times, Miss O'Neill rose to the supreme heights of tragedy, but in the vehicle which the actress has chosen for vaudeville, she has opportunity of revealing a distinctly opposite phase of her mellow art. While dramatic in theme, this latest Sutro play is satirical in treatment, contrasted with quick transitions from comedy of the highest order to gripping drama, turning again sharply to comedy of a delicious qaulity with a denouncement of striking originality. Personality, individuality, peculiarity and popularity are the keystone upon which Miss Rae Samuels has built her vaudeville reputation and ?frimiiiiiiiuJiiiiiHuiioiiiimuu^^ Maintenance and National Service NATURE is both the ally and the enemy of the telephone. One of her forces, electricity, carries the voice of man afar. Others, as flood, tornado or sleet storm, can cripple communications in a large area through their devastating might. Each pair of telephone wires in the Bell System is a pathway for reciprocal speech. When beaten down by the uncontrollable forces of nature, that pathway to fifteen million telephones is blocked, and none of the nation's voices can pass that way. Reserve materials must be on hand, that storm damage may be repaired without delay. Adequate funds must be made available so that the cost of restoration may be met. National telephone service is only possible through an organization capable of handling, on a nation-wide basis, the problem of maintenance as well as of operation. The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company One Policy • One System • Universal Service from these four keystones she has created a structure which she calls "The Blue Streak of Vaudeville." A blue streak is supposed to and probably has the speed of lightning, and this is why Miss Samuels has selected to call her artistic edifice a blue streak. She goes from mood to mood, humor to humor, from pathos to comedy, from comedy burlesque and back again with this amount of speed, er medium of expression is kaleidoscopic. Miss Samuels is one of vaudeville's best known woman singles and vaudeville has taken such good care of her that with rare exceptions she has been content to devote all her time to the two-a-day. These exeptions were one of the series of the Ziegfeld Follies and with a New York experimental amusement enterprise called "The Moulin Rouge" Miss Samuels is a happy addition to any bill o rany attraction, and if ragtime has any gratitude it should be most liberal in bestowing it upon this fair exponent, because she has done much in prolonging its life. -----------o----------- BOULEVARD.
