'Sis Hopkins" is

Still Popular 1 In South Bcndl Starrlnk' in a revival of her famous creation. '".Sis Hopkins." Kose Melville ai;careil btTore an nppreciatie audience of friends at the Oliver theater Tuesday nuht. The rural roninly drama, which has so Ion- stood the acid test ot years upon the stas?, still finds a tender spot in the hearts of audiences and the happy Si, the sad Sis. the carefree S:s and the serious Sis have not yet tailed in their appeal. lespite the fact that on various occasions the action of the play very condes-ndinnly stops to permit the presentation of specialties ly meoihers of the company, still the homely wit and the honest interpretation of every-day life cannot fail to find favor. -Miss Melville, known in South Tend through her property holdings iere. in her own personality, to thousands of theatergoers, really is Sis Hopkins. She succeeds in clothing a stacre personality at times rather far fetched with a personality that redeems any possible absurdities. In the supporting company M. H. Ilarriman as Pa Hopkins stood out ahove the rest in the .spirit of reality that he read inlo his lines. Effective scenes in the last part of the second and in the third act which centered ahout the liure of the old man were carried away through the force of his realistic acting. Since the scenes of the yAciy are laid in Indiana and all of the characters with a single exception are drawn from the native Hoosiers. the play very naturally contains a special interest for Indiar.aians. In the three acts of the play appear the very conventional rural Hoosiers but the fun that is poked at them is honest and the redemption of the daughter a.s pictured in the play takes all of the stin-r out of any possible ofi'ense. AT Tili; OUI'IIIXM. Final performances of the present Orpheum bill will he given today. This bill includes Julie Itin and company in a comedy sketch, Lona's Uawaiians. Cook and Lorenz. I-ouis London, and Johnson and Arthur. Uepinnlnp tomorrow the new bill features the juvenile comedian, J. C. Ivewis. in a comedy sketch, Tdlly's Santa Claus." Master Lewis comes of a well known theatrical family, his father beinp familiar as a comedy actor for the past 20 years. In the support of the youn comedian will be seen J. C. Lewis, sr., and three brothers and sisters of the little star. Hoyt's ministrels In a re vival of the sons:s and dances of other days, will also be featured. Piekinson and Deapon, musical comedy entertainers recently with "The Candy Shop," John Ceiser. with his talking violin and Kichard Wally and company, jupslers, will make up the bill. AT Tili: Al lMTOHirM. William Nish ami Violet Palmer, two new Fox stars, are appearing at the Auditorium today in a western comedy drama entitled. "The Blue Streak." a story of thrills and surprises in which Mr. Nieh plays the part of a rushed westerner known as "The Blue Streak. " a dissipated youth who has been cast out by his father. Cominp west he becomes a train robber. He meets a younc girl with whom he falls in love and steals her and takes her to a mountain cabin, where he repents of his act and taken her back to her home. Later he marries her and returns to his father a new man. The Seliir-Tribune weekly of late events of interest is also on the bill as usual. Tomorrow that attractive little player, Mabel Taliaferro comes in a new picture called "The Barricade", in which the star will he seen for the first time in her life in the part of a pirl whose one idea is revenue. Heretofore. Miss Taliaferro has played sweet in senile roles, but beim? an actre-s of creat versatility she welcomed the opportunity to play Hope Merrill in "The Barricade", the Rirl who deliberately poes to work to ruin the fortunes of her husband, a millionaire, in the mistaken belief that he has driven her father to the wall. She learns though of her mistake and everything terminates happily. Bushman and Bayne are on the bill too in their interesting serial. "The (Ireat Secret", which i be ni: followed by more people than my other serial ever shown here. SMALL TOWN TYrr-s in lasalli: i'irrrm:. Ther is a bright little comely, merging into meb.lrama and made enjoyable by the likeable smalltown characters, at the Lasalle today. "The Bad Boy" gives Bobby Harron his first chance as a screen star and he carries the principal role delightfully. From the seene at the obi swlmmin hole, his jokes on the tf.wn marshal, his experiences in he woodshed with his anury father, all recall incidents in the life of every boy. His angrr at paternal punishment causes him to run away, and he -ets mixed up in bad company.

lEastern Lines wi" Re"uest rniccii reifem iiioitaoc on Freight RatesWASHINGTON. March 2. General advances in freight rates will be sought, probably withli the next 10 days by railroads in every section of the United States. Preliminary steps were taken Tuesday by virtually all railroads concerred in an informal conference with the interstate commerce commissicn. Definite announcement was made that the advance asked for eastern roads would be 15 percent on all commodities except ore, bituminous coal and coke. Representatives of western lines, while not stating specifically the amounts of increase desired, indicated that they, too, would ask for 15 percent. Railroads of the southwest submitted figures showing increases ranging bviween IS percent and 21.4 percent were needed to meet additional costs of operation already existing in the case of five lines. Southern railroads probably will determine the percent of increase desired at a conference here next Friday. No authority will be sought under present proceedings to Increase passenger fares. Sook State Increase. In addition to the proceedings before the interstate commerce commission concerning interstate rates, spokesmen for the railroads let it be known that they are preparing to po before every state railroad and public utilities commission in the Union to ask for authority to increase their freight tariffs on Intrastate tratlic. Only one dissenting voice was raised at Tuesday's conference. A. K. Helm, representing the public utilities commission cf Kansas, cited figures to uphold his contention that the railroads' emergency was not so pressing as it had been depicted and that net incomes of the roads last year were tremendously greater than the year before. He protested against authorization by the commission of general increases without full investigation in advance. Telegraphic protests against the proposed increases poured into the otSces of the commission all day. Commissioner Clark announced that "the house was full of protests already." Twenty-five telegrams were received during the conference. In the case of all railroads except those in the south, the request for amendment of the rules so as to permit a prompt general advance in rates was based primarily on the ground that the cost of labor, fuel, equipment and supplies had risen to unexpected levels, and that taxes also were much higher than last year. Pres't Harrison of the Southern railway, speaking for the southern line, declared the roads of his section were prosperous and would continue to make money, even under present conditions, but that without an advance in rates they "could not grow." The prime need of southern railroads, he said, was capital and thl. could not be obtained with earning capacity curtailed as under present conditions. B. F. Bush, receiver of the Missouri Pacific, told the commission that unless there were a general advance in freight rates, authorized by the interstate commerce commission and the state commissions there was but one alternative government ownership. Tres't Holden of the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy. said that a 1 7 percent advance for western roads would meet the increased Cost of operation due to hiuher costs of supplies and labor. George Stuart Patterson, representing the eastern lines, declared that there was no plan to advance rates unreasonably, and that all that the railroads soutrht was fair treatment, expedited as rapidly as possible, to enable them to meet tremendous increases in operating costs.
