CY DEVRY, ANIMAL MAN, TELLS ABSORBING TALES OF FRIENDS

Cy DeVry's audience at the chau- . tauqua Tuesday night may have lived on a' arm when it was young; or visited a good many boos or rubberneck expositions; or read dozens of animal books, but it is a safe guess that no one failed to learn a lot of things which he didn't know before. Interesting from the polar bear pit to the African porcupine and on down the length and breadth of Lincoln Park Zoo, was his lecture, given to one of the largest crowds of the season. While Bhowing a series of slides of famous wild animals in captivity In the United States the speaker told the most absorbing, tales Imaginable about the animals; their habits, natures, skins, food, care, native haunts, popularity as zoo animals, and fierceness. "It Is not the wild animals that the keepers are afraid of, but the pets that we play with for years sometimes, before they will strike at us. I played with a pet bear for fifteen .. years; would go in his cage every day and tussle with him, and one day when I went in the cage he flew at me and would have killed me. You hear people talk about wild Hons, but I am not half as afraid of a lion as of a tiger or male elk. "Lion Is Not King." "A lion is not the 'king of beasts.' The tiger has a third again as much strength; while the male elk when its horns are hardened is the most ferocious animal in captivity. We had an antelope from India at Lincoln Park who would not even allow his mate to come Inside his fence. He killed anything that came in. "There are 18 varieties of seals, but only three kinds of sea Hons," tho speaker said. He explained that many people believe erroneously that the fur used in coats and scarfs comes from sea lions. Instead their fur is totally useless and is not saved if the animal dies-. "In the United States there are only three double horned rhinoceroses now to be found. Two are In the Bronz in New York and the other In Lincoln park zoo. They are worth from six to- nine thousand dollars," Bald- tho speaker. The snakes in Lincoln.park are only few every three or four months, and De Vry said he had a regal python from India who did not eat for 8 months. He conceived the idea of a snake-feeding machine, and with the help of 26 men, who held the snake lu the face of death should one of Ihem lose his grip, they fed him hamburger from a sausage grinder until he was full. Both slides and motion pictures of this operation were shown. Snakes Must Bathe. "Snakes have to have baths, Just as

MISS FARNER, OPERA STAB, HERE TONIGHT Miss Bertha Farner who will appear on the Chautauqua program at 7:30 this evening has a national reputation. When little more than a child she became identified with her first operatic company. She, has since been associated with the Mancine Opera company,, the English Grand Opera company and the San Carlo Grand Opera company. Accompanying Miss Farner in her .Richmond appearance will be Frederick Morley, pianist; Ralph Michaells, violinist; and Miss Ethel Murray, cellolst. Their appearances promise Miss Farner's company was to appear in short numbers between the scenes of "Peg O' My Heart," given by Miss Penlck this afternoon. Miss Farner will not herself appear until the evening performance which will begin at 7:00 o'clock.

you do, only not so often," said Mr. DeVry. "It takes 92 days to hatcli a snake egg," he said and showed a picture of the artificial coil incubation process used by the snakes when they are away from their native warm sands. Sapho, the monkey, and how she raised her young by spanking them when they were bad and kissing them when they got good, and then simply correcting them with a severe look when they grew up and did not act according to monkey rules and regulations, made a big hit with the younger people in the audience, who always find the monkey the most interesting animal of the zoo. "The largest and finest bird house in the world is in Lincoln Park," said "Cy." "It was built at the cost of $46,000 and contains 121 cages, and S3 varieties of birds."

ALICE SHRODE, "KID" OF 12, IS DELIGHT OF BIG AUDIENCE

A regular "kid," who after she was through with her own performance insisted upon watching Cy DeVry's motion pictures through a hole, was little Miss Alice Shrode, 12 years old, who appeared Tuesday afternoon and evening at the Chautauqua, making her second season in Richmond. Everybody liked this little girl who possesses a bright face, a shock of close bobbed yellow hair and who wore a charming little corduroy plaited frock'. She is not the typical spoiled important child-reader who sulks at her parents and gives the audience the impression that "she knows it all". Nine months a year Alice is in school. The ten weeks of summer from the day school closes until the day before it opens Alice keeps engagements with Chautauqua platforms., and she has never missed one nor been late, she says, in the four years she has been doing it. That's some record, as stage manager Bentley will agree. When Alice returns to school this fall Bhe will be in the eighth grade. She has visited 15 states and numerous towns in each one. Program for Children. Tuesday afternoon Alice gave "Vacation," "Naughty Zell" and "My Brown Rose," a whistling solo. Her enunciation is clear and spirited. She does not falter but gives color to her performances. On the song bells she gave "Beautiful Ohio" and "Iris." following which she gave "Howdy,". "When We Haven't Said Our Prayers," and Edwin Vance Cook's famous "The Monkey Man." which by request she repeated in the evening. "Soap," and "The Story of Old Glory" completed the afternoon program. In the evening she gave with gusto "The Americans Come," and followed it with a whistling solo and dance. For the benefit of the front row children she gave Riley's "Little Orphan Annie," "I've Got a Pain in

My Sawdust," and Riley's "Here's the

Way You Look." Everybody including the oldest grown-ups appreciated her efforts, however. "Baby Brother'- and "A Boy's Remarks to His Stomach," completed the program, the latter receiving a storm of applause.

Prevalent Pests

The loquacious one who sits behind you in the Chautauqua- tent and repeats the tall end of every sentence the speaker utters. The same method is used in the movies, when your rear , neighbor thinks his or her companion ' is blind. The good Christian Chautauqua devotees who steal all the reporter's paper from the press tent. The youthful lovers who use the press tent as an adoration headquarters.

DRAYTON ADDRESSES PREBLE GO. FARMERS

ELDORADO, O.. August 27. C. O.

Drayton, a farmer of Greenville, 111.,-

presldent of the National Society of Equities, was the principal speaker on "A Square Deal for the Farmers" at a meeting of the Eldorado Co-operative Grain Elevator Association here. He explained the object and purpose of the national organization and urged the farmers, which were in large attendance, to cooperate in making the local association a success, Eight new members were taken into the association Monday night, with the following officers: E. B. Creager, West Manchester, president; Elmer Klmmtl, Eldorado, vice president; Frank Schlosser, secretary; and Mr. Semler, Arcanum, treasurer.

Fairyland Fantasy, "Alice In Jungleland," Will Be Feature of Barnes' Circus Since the days of P. T. Bamum it has been the privilege of showmen to upset the, natural order of events and defy the laws of nature in order that man may be amused. Pink elephants, double jointed monkeys and unmentionable monstrosities as well as the orignal and genuine of nature's freaks ahve been presented to the world through the media of the white tops. In more recent years showmen have striven to give the beautiful and instructive features to the public and like an Aladdin's lantern the big tops have become a veritable paradise of enchantment. The Al G. Barnes big four-ringed animal circus is coming to Richmond September 5, for a one-day exhibit, giving afternoon and night performances, and as its opening feature this season presents a fairyland fantasy, namely, "Alice in Jungleland," which promises to outrival in reality anything Lewis Carol's character "Alice", saw in her dreamland jaunt through Wonderland. Alice is a delightful child who falls asleep upon a rustic seat in a park, fairies appear and by magic bring to her a king in all his royal splendor, who, wishing to please Alice and show his many possessions, ordrs the royal jungle to appear. Instantly a magnificent pageant comprising the show's entire aggregation of animals and people richly and sumptuously adorned come forth. There will be a street parade two miles long at 10:30 a. m. Doors open 1 and 7 p. m.

Both Candidates Claim Victory in Mississippi (By Associated Press) JACKSON. Miss., Aug. 27. Returns early today from yesterday's primary failed to clear up doubt as to the Democratic nominee for governor although at the headquarters of both condidates. Lieutenant Governor Lee Russell and Oscar Johnston, claims of victory were made. Both sides claimed majorities of ten thousand while conservatives predicted the winner would have a majority of less than 5,000 and said an official count may be necessary. Russell was the avowed candidate of former Senator James K. Vardaman, and had the support of Governor Theodore Bilbo Johnston, who resigned from the state senate to enter millitary service, was the anti-Vardaman faction candidate.

The cast Includes '. noted actors, among them being Ctullen LandlB, , Hallani Cooley and Edwin Stevens. Phyllis Havar. she of the wondrous figure and beauftiful face, who long has been one of tSie favorite Mack Sennett bathing girls among picture patrons, is now a full-fiedged leading woman and pkiys an important role in the latest Ptaramount-Mack Sennett comedy, "Amtong Those Present," whic will be a feature of the bill at the Washington theatre today and tomorrow. Not only is she one of the most beautiul of screen favorites but she sems to have developed excellent talent and acting ability. In this picture she ia the object of two men's affections, and the cause of all the trouble developed by the story is that one of the men is her husband. The dancing scenes in the comedy are highly relishable. The comedy was directed by Earl Kenton and Ray Grey and is said to be one of the fastest and funniest ever filmed. Ford Sterling is the chief fun-makar.

duction "The Divorce Trap" was being filmed. Scott Dunlap, then assistant director, adopted Socrates the moment he laid eyes on him. But the next morning Dunlap seemed to have1 a fit of generosity as he presented the dog to Camerman Granville. Granville felt more than flattered, yet the next morning Socrates became the property of Frank Beal, the director, and on the following morning Beal gave him to Miss Brockwell. Within twenty-four hours the dog was in the possession of William Scott, leading man in the picture. The next morning the dog was not in evidence, but that evening, when Scotty Dunlap arrived at his home, he found Socrates tied to his front gate. About a week later, the truth came to light, It appears that Socrates had been trained to sit in a chair and join the family at the dinner table. If this privilege was denied him, Socrates had a way of snarling and being intensely disagreeable. So now Scotty is trying to find some kind soul who is willing to entertain a dog at the dinner table. "The Divorce Trap" is now being shown at the Murrette. MURRAY. Marcia Manon, one of the most popular of the Famous Players-Lasky actresses, recently traveled all the way from Hollywood, Cal., to New York to play the leading feminine role in John Barrymore's new Paramount picture, "The Test of Honor," which will be shown at the Murray theatre Thursday. Those who have seen Miss Manon on the screen will never forget her. Not only does she evince rare personality in her manner and facial expressions, and in the way in which she dresses her hair and wears her clothes and jewels, but in every minute gesture Marcia Manon expresses her individuality. In Cecil B. DeMille's "Old Wives for New," Miss Manon had a splendid opportunity to display her artistic taste in clothes and jewelry. She began her screen career as an extra girl in one of Mr. DeMille's productions about a year and a half ago, and since has made an enviable place for herself in motion pictures. She had large parts for herself in "Stella Maris." "The Sunset Trail," "The Girl Who Came Back." and many other well known pictures. WASHINGTON "Upstairs," a comedy by Perley Poore Sheean, is the new Mabel Normand Goldwyn Picture which comes to the Washington theatre, starting today. It represents the simple tale of a girl worker in a big hotel, who more than made good. The little comedienne, as Elsie MacFarland, always wants to see the fairyland upstairs. She is given the chance when a young milionaire, after seeing her peeking through a doorway, secures the uniform of a bell-boy, and visits her in the basement where she works.

We used two cakes of Soap and nearly three boxes of Ointment when he was healed." (Signed) Mrs. John Giencke, Montello, Wis. If mothers would only be careful in selecting the first soap used on baby and continue it, there would, in most cases, be no trouble. Most soaps, even if pure, are too harsh or too 6trongly medicated for tender skins. Cuticura, on the contrary, is so pure, gentle and sweet that it may be used from the hour of birth, and as for the Ointment, it is the most delicate of super -creamy emollients. Cuticura Talcum is also -excellent to use for baby. It is a soft, fine, antiseptic powder of fascinating: fragrance. ..J5!2LpU B b bytaU. Acl'lreu po.t-.-ird: "Cttcsr. .pt. E, Bo.toa." Sold evrrwh..
