LEIBER APPRECIATED IN ROLE OF HAMLET Row, Harold Rand, Sidney Elliott, Frederick Drake, Robert Strauss, H. PortercUffe, James Hendrickson, and many others. Mr. Leiber offers a radical and distinct novelty in the manner of his presentation. The frequent changes of sets required are made without the slightest loss of time. As he has lately been winning great success in moving pictures, he has cleverly adapted many of the best features of that new art to the presentation of Shakespearean plays. This has resulted in a performance which runs smoothly and without interruption save for the intermissions. which will take Its wen-deserved place In the foremost ranks. Through an invention for the purpose of making use of waste steel, Matthews is lifted from sordid surroundings to a life of ease and luxury. He employs a young woman of one of society's foremost families, who Is in need of money, to help him acquire the polish and education, lack of which he so keenly feels. MURRAY. Sensational glimpses of San Fran Cisco's nocturnal activities, modern ranch life and refreshing views of the open range furnish a variety of backgrounds against which the dramatic story of "Hearts Up" is to be enacted at the Murray theater on Thursday. "Hearts Up!" is a Universal produc tion starring Harry Carey and affords the popular player opportunity to depict a new kind of a role. The story hinges on the most furious gbt that can be waged; a strong man's fight with himself. Impersonating his dead pall, whose daughter is to arrive from the East, the hero of the story meets the girl and does not correct - her when she calls him "Daddy." He takes this course to save the girl dlsappoinment and heartaches; but he cannot foresee the tragic results. Starting out with a lie and involving himself in the strangest of complications with the girl who believes that she is. his daughter, the star extricates himself only through the crashing punch of the dramatic climax. PENNSY SETS RECORD ON TRAIN SCHEDULES over March, 1920, of M.7 per cent in j the number of trains arriving .on time and 9.1 per cent for trains making schedule time. The system figures published show that on time and schedule ; performance has improved for five consecutive months, up to and including March. On April 1, there were 92,738 idle freight cars stored In good order on the Pennsylvania system. At the. same time, motive power reports show that 85.8 per cent of the locomotives owned by the Pennsylvania railroad were available for service on April 1. This is an increase of 7.5 per cent in available power over April 1. 1920. SANITY OF WOMAN HELD IN CHECK CA8E QUESTIONED NEW YORK, April 14. Mrs. .Harriet Pendleton Hunt, a member of a prominent Cincinnati family, who was arrested last Sunday on suspicion of having given-a worthless check to a brokerage firm for $10,000 worth of Liberty bonds, today was committed to Bellevut- hospital for ten days' observation. Her father. Elliott Pendleton, a lawyer, made the application for her commitment.

"Quality and not quantity," Is the phrase that describes the audience which witnessed Frit Leiber's initial appearance in this city "Wednesday evening, at the Washington theatre. ' Although the house was not all sold out as has been v the case in other plays appearing here this season, it was appreciative as evidenced by the curtain calls to . which the star was forced to respond. Leiber's performance here was in keeping with his reputation as one of the foremost of Shakespearean actors. "Romeo and Juliet" was the afternoon bill at the Washington. Leiber's final appearance here is in "Macbeth" Thursday evening. Supporting Rritz Leiber, are many well grounded players In plays of this master dramatist. Irby Marshall, a famous Australian actress is his leading woman. Katherine Sayer and Virginia Bronson, two or the most experienced of players in the standard drama, also are in the cast, and others include Louis Leon Hall, John C. Hickey, John Burke, Joseph Singer, Arthur

More trains arrived on time and mora trains made schedule time between stations on the Pennsylvania railroad in March, 1921. than in any month during the past year, since the railroad resumed the management of its property. 120,874 trains were operated on the Pennsylvania system in the month of March; of these, 94.1 per cent arrived at their destination on time and 96.9 per cent made schedule time between stations. The March, 1921, record shows an improvement There is little difference between the strength of the Southern pines and that of Douglas fir from the Pacific northwest. The Theatres ' J
