IIAKItt LAUDint COMING. Many I-iuder Is an enthusiastic member of the International Association of Itotary Clubs, and a Rotarian of standing and favor. Wherever he goes he is lavishly entertained by the Rotary organization, as he was at a special luncheon in Chicago. In Cincinnati the Rotary club prides itself on its magnificence and hospitality. That body telegraphed Lauder before he arrived, inviting him to be its guest, and he wired acceptance. He got the following telegram: "Thanks for your acceptance. We

i will entertain you as you never were

before entertained by a Rotary club." He flashed back the following telegram: "Thanks for your thanks. You'll hae to go some." Mr. Lauder will be entertained here by the Rotary club at a luncheon.

AT Tili: I jA SALLE. "The Yellow Passport," featuring Clara Kimball Young", will be shown at the LaSalle today. This dramatic story relates the struggles of a persecuted Russian girl and the workings of the despotic police system of that country are shown. When first produced on the dramatic stage, Florence Reed created the role now played by Miss Young; Competent critics give the present interpretor of the part great credit for presenting this powerful and emotional screen character in the capable manner she does. On Saturday "Diplomacy" will be seen for the tirst time on the screen at the L-vSalle. Marie Doro is featured in the leading role. Together with William Cillette. Blanche Bates and a clever company of dramatic stars, this clever player was seen at the Oliver last season in the sam play. In the present film production she has the able assistance of Frank Ivosee and a number of capable dramatic actors. The story is one of romance and diplomacy in political circles and a story that will please. The Paramount travel pictures will also be shown.

AT Tim AUDITORIUM. For action and excitement, the new Ince-Triangle play "D'Artagnan," which is being shown at the Auditorium today, is said to be unsurpassed. The dashing young hero D'Artagnan. which is played, by Orrin Johnson, gets into hot water right at the start. He's on his way to Taris to become a member of the king's musketeers. De Roch fort, who is employed by the powerful Cardinal Richelieu, laughs at the youth's bony mount and D'Artagnan takes it as an insult to himself. There is some lively sword play, but D'Artagnan gets the worst of the encounter. The enmity that is aroused in him on account of the loss of a letter to the captain of the musketeers, which he suspects De Rochfort of stealing, is kept burning vigorously throughout the rest of the drama. D'Artagnan is lined up against the cardinal when he undertakes to protect the good name of the queen. Accompanied by three staunch friends and fellow members of the king's musketeers, he begins a hazardous trip to England. Each of the friends is either captured or disabled and D'Artagnan lias to depend entirely upon himself. There is said to be some rattling good sword play between D'Artagnan ami his band and De Rochfort's men. Finally the hero makes a spectacular escape from a shipful of enemies. Just before the boat lands he leaves his place of concealment and dives into the water. De Rochfort shoots at him but he gets safely to shore with the precious diamond studs which he obtained from the duke of Buckingham to return to the queen of France. "Ixne Will Conquer." a Mack Sennett comedy, with Fred Mace, is also on tV.e bill.

XOftODY HOMl-V What promises to be one of the most pleasing musical attractions of the year in this city will be John P. Siocum's production of the merry musical absurdity "Nobody Home," which comes to the Oliver theater on Thursday. April 6. "Xololy Home" kept New York showgoers laughing at the Princess and Maxine Elliott theaters last season and has been breaking records in Boston. Washington, Philadelphia and other cities this year. It is said to be one of the most remarkable musical comedy productions of the decade, and has yet to receive an adverse criticism. One cannot help liking it because it is so different from the usual run of musical plays. It has a story that 13 really funny and funny in a new way. The music is of that melodious JlnglinS type that keeps buzzing In your ear and that you find yourself wtdstllng all the time. The dances are nen and odd to say the least and Elsie de Wolf, designer for New York's most fashionable society, has devised the scene and color whemes which are unique and wonderfully artistic. Lots of pretty girls who, it Is said, can sing and dance, and actors who can act. will make up. the "show." The ast w ill include the Broadway faoriteit ercival Knight, Isa-

OIUMIKUM IHM, ' I ) I ITI 'RI1NT." Thursday, Friday and isiturday's vaudeville bill at the Orpheum theater Is different; it breaks a perhaps monotonous stretch of performances averaging high in vaudeville's class of productions; it is a versatile affair at best, and the versatility is confined to the classification of the respective acts as good, bad and indifferent. All but two are at least indifferent. Opening quietly with Jessie I Lasky's "Aurora of Eight," depicting Miss Rrownie DuPont, "the living Venus," according to the booking agent, who might have been in a position to know, something new in posing models to costuming motion pictures is shown, in that the figure occupies a place far up stage and elevated, and the stereopticon is located in the balcony instead of the orchestra pit. The effects are attractive. "On and Off," a boisterous sketch performed by the Misses or Me.dames Caylord and Imgton, follows. From a Markface feminine minstrel concoction, the act slips to the dressing rooms for a few sensational but Tuasculinely instructive moments, then struts again before the drop for a quiet windup so far as the audience is concerned. Dwight Pepple's "Southern Porch Party," featured by the Moran sisters in some really clever dancing, and carrying some very good instrumental music, provides the musical number for tho bill. The scene is attractively set and the costuming dainty. Miss Ruth Warren in a cello solo and Miss Norma Hopkins in a violin number merit praise. This act triumphed over difficulties Thursday afternoon. "Next!" Dunbar and Turner answer to the call with a riot of slapstick, curtain kicking, clogging and hilarious comedy. Character cards, these two, the male and the female of the species, were drawn to a neatstepped encore; naught of class, but laugh-provoking and typical of what a great many vaudeville frequenters

seem to want. They got it in good measure, and liked it. evidently. 1 The Three Rartos, athletes supreme, closed the bill; they have the

honor of being able to hold their audience to the seats for an encore on the final drop, which is some honor. Their work ir tumbling, muscular juggling of each other and varied stunts was great.

Mandl and Like District ninu!atel by Melting Snows ami Heavy Rains.

Iuternatioiul New Service: PETROGRAD. March M. Rains and melting snows have caused Hoods along the front which are seriously interfering with the Russian offensive against the AustroOerman armies. A Iarce section of the marsh and lake district has been inundated and at some places the Russians have been compelled to retire from some of their po-itions where the ground was low. The highways are deep with mud and the movement of troop? is difficult. German aviators have been very active for several days trying to put railways out of commission. Handicaps imposed by the weather are also affectincr the (lerman-, hut their disadvantages are less owing to the fact that they are on the defensive. and south of Dvinsk there has been a terrific artillery duel. South of Lake Narocz the Russians have captured German trenches at the point of the bayonet, following a violent bombardment.

Cas Co. Commissioners Hold River Not Navigable at Logansport.

International News ServUe: INDIANAPOLIS, March 31. I. Ert Slack, United States district attorney, Thursday informed members of the board of county commissioners, the county auditor and county attorney of Cass county, of which Logansport Is the county seat, that the government would take any steps necessary to establish its Jurisdiction over the Wabash river around Logansport.
