at tin: castli:. me of the most brilliantly entertaining features that Alice l'.rady ha.s ever been starred In will be een for three flays at the "astle theater i.eu'inninR today. The picture which is entitled '-Maternity" is a thrillin?, thoroughly enu'rossirm production treatini; of a youns bride's fear of motherhood and the unhappiness It brings her. In thi strong role Miss IJrady does the nest work of her successful career as an emotional actre.,s and the story tells of the remarkable manner in which she overcomes her fears through the love of a neighbor's -"hild whose life, she saves. There is a lire scene whi'h was photographed at niuht and which is said to be one of the most realistic ever filmed.

at tiii: olivi:k. Tears and laughter tiRht for martery in "Turn to the HiRht" the comerly success tr be presented at the Hiver theater next Friday and Saturday by Winchell Smitn and John L. lolden. hut there is one big moment in the day when the two cive way to hushed stillness. Tearri flew when the silence is broken but for the moment the audience is held dry-eyed a:ul ri;?id. Thi. is the soene wherein Joe Has-

LORD NORTHCLIFFE URGES AIR REPRISALS

TORONTO. Out.. Oct. 4. "The only way to deal effectively with the Oerman raids in England is to do as the French are doins? give them bomb for bomb," said Lord Northrliffe. head of the British war mission to the United States, who arrived in Toronto Wednesday. "I have always advocated reprisals." he added. "Paris is only 12' miles away from Germany and do you ever hear of raids upon Paris? The French prive them bomb for bomb. That is the remedy any one would propose who understands Jermanv."

com suddenly reappears in the home that he left as a your.;? 'iov seven years before. So far as the manuscript is concerned there is no scene at all for not a word is spoken, and yet it is he one incident of the play that lingers longest in the Pimds of the audience. The Hcene is laid in the kitchen of Mrs. Uascom's little farm house. Mrs. I5a.com is reading her Bible, reeking to prove to herseti that her boy must return in answer to her prayers. Petty Basci.m, the sweetfaced daughter, who has but the rarest recollection of her brother, has placed in the window the lamp th.it for sven years has shown nightly to guide the wandering boy's footsteps homeward. Not a sound is heard. The door opens softly and Joe Iiascom enters, lie stands gazing at the little mother bent over her big Bible while Betty, who does not recognize the intruder, stares at him. Suddenly eld Mrs. Bascom's sweet and gs.-ntle face is riiised as if in response to some whispered call and her tired old eyes gaze into those of the son for whose return she has just been praying. For a moment neither stirs. Then the old lady glides forward and takes the boy in her arms. For what seems minutes because of the tenseness of of the situation, the two stand in each other's embrace while Betty looks on in amazement. Then suddenly the mother slips from her

boy's arms and falling on her knees, buries her head in the old rocking chair and pours forth her soul in silent thanksgiving.

The date of one of season's biggest musical productions at the Oliver is set for Oct. 15. when Klaw and Erl.mger will send to South Bend their greatest musical comedy success, "Miss springtime." This attraction is one of the most important that has left New York this season for a road tour and will be presented here exactly as it was done during the all season runs of the show in Boston and New York. There will be 7.") people In tht company, headed by a cast, the names of which are indisputable guarantee of the excellence of the organization. In addition to other unusual features, there is a special orchestra of 1' pieces carried by the company. No more attractive names than those of Frank Mclntjre. Zoe Barnett, Harrison Brockbank, Hattie Burks, Frank Do.vne, Mae Hennessy. Alf Fisher, W. V. Nairn and Alice Gaillard have ever been found in the rostvr of a musical comedy production visiting this city and these distinguished principal?, together with Kalman's music, Guy Bolton's book. P. G. Wodehouse's lyrics, Julian Mitchell's: staging and Joseph I'rban's scenery give ample reason for the tremendous popularity of "Miss Springtime."

Without doubt it was the must Satisfying Winter Garden show ever presented in South Bend when "Itol inson Crusoe, Jr..". with Al Jolson and a big company "f principals and a ery good looking rhorus was irivi'ii at the diver last night. There was nearly a rapacit .r.;dience on hand and Jolson "brought thern down." His eery appearance was greeted with thunderous applause, an evidence of the almost unanimous erdi't that at last, a Winter Garden show hail met all expectation. His Hist song was presented with that animate feeling which won him his ame as a "popularizer" of popular soius and it "wont over luV,- eeu hefore he warned his nuJiem-e that they "ain't heard nothin' et." .Iol.-on'--fame now rests on mme t!it: 'ii' manner of putting oer so.-j-: he is rightlj" rated a.s one of America's foremost blackface comedians. If there was any seriousness in .lolson's good-natured joshing about wanting to do something "better" than blackface, there were several flashes in his work last night which would seem to justify that ambition. He would enter another field well equipped as to personality and with a remarkable facility in mimicry. The comedian has been sur-

at Tin: oliviuc. William Fox's wonderful screen production of "Jack and the Beanstalk" will l,e the attraction at the Oliver theater for four days, starting Thursday, Uct. 11. This is an ideal picture for children and it is said to he interesting to the grownups also. Little Francis Carpenter takes the part of "Jack" and Virginia Lee Corbin will be seen as t h t princess. J. C. Traver will portray iio- giant whom Jack kills.

: our.. led by a ery capable company f entertainers. Miss Kitty Doner perhaps attract.- nio-t attention ;imong the women members of the company. A cut litt!- lady, she wears boys clothe very fefhinly. and lomps through stvfral number; most ze.-tfully. in occasions, her work elicite.j fully as much appreciation as Joioji's and rightly S I Mable With'e. a graceful dancer arid grateful to look upon, pre.-ent-l ?eeral sont'- very pleasingly and was espe ially effective in her number with .Harry Kearley. "The Mayflower Girl." Frank Grace and Johnnie Berks did some fast stepping which won merited applause and Kdward 1 lowers. Alfred Crooker anl I 'rank Waiters won a "biq hand" for their a i robatic sailors' fling'. Hubert Byles. the real voeali.-t of the company so far as voice is concerned was also very convincing in Iiis presentation of Crusoe, showing himself to lie a real actor as well as ,i singer. There are many other capable players in the company and taking It all in all, Jolson and company seemed to enjoy the performance fully as much as did the enthusiastic audience. It was all very "chummy," -o Al thought.

THE GREAT STATE OF OKLAHOMA ROLLS IN LIQUID WEALTH Thousands Made Rich Oil Hits Highest Price Ever Known State produced 123,000,000 barrels last year. Throughout the oil Held are wonderful examples of fame and fortune gained by the gush of oil. Dan Tucker, ten year old boy, gets Slo daily, oil royalty; Sarah Rector, a seventeen year old girl, receives $35,000 monthly. Henry Page, a former railroad brakeman, gets one hundred thousand monthly from oil leases. Roy Johnson, a Michigan printer, cleared a hundred thousand dollars on a two hundred dollar investment. Cole McGhee, Oklahoma carpenter, made S83,000 on a hundred and seventy-five dollar investment. Hundreds of others, purchasers of cheap Indian Lands and heirs to Indian allotments, have reaped huge fortunes from oil royalties. The Oklahoma Exhibit Car now in South Bend has been sent here for the purpose of advertising the opening of a half million acres of Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian Lands, located in southeastern Oklahoma, which are soon to be sold by the United States government on easy annual payments. All in the MidContinent Oil Belt. This is the chance of a lifetime as the government does not require you to live on these lands, or improve them, as they can be bought direct from Uncle Sam at a few dollars per acre on easy payments. Irrigation not necessary; forty-five inch rainfall. Agricultural, timber and grazing lands close to railroads and prosperous towns. The Oklahoma Exhibit Car contains an extensive display of Oklahoma products, both agricultural and mineral, as well as numerous photographic views of Western Development. For those interested in the Indian lands we have maps, plates, blue prints, geological surveyors, etc., and demonstrators are on hand to acquaint the public with the terms and conditions. DON'T FORGET The population of the United States doubles every thirty years, but there will never be any more land than there is today. Open daily 9 to 12 a. m.; 1 :20 to 5:30, and 7 to 9 p. m. Your last opportunity. Do it now or never. CAR HERE FOR FEW DAYS ONLY
