Farm al announcement of the details are expected this week from the Treasury Department.

Returns from Saturday's democratic primary In Delaware show that United States Senator Wlllard Sauls bury won a large majority of the dele gates elected to Tuesday's state con vention at Dover and that he will be renominated as a candidate for the Senate. Returns also show that a majority of the delegates favorable to the renoininatlon of Albert F. Polk as a candidate for the House of Rep resentatives "tfere elected. Belasco. A "cave man," sartorlally perfect In New York, but with the conventional Ideas regarding woman and her place in the world that obtained a quarter of a century ago, arrives in the me tropolis from Kentucky and promptly falls in love with one of "the jazz band set." The trials and tribulations of the cave man under these conditions are unfolded in "The Walk-Offs," a new comedy by Frederic and Fanny Hatton, produced by Oliver Morosco at the Belasco Theater last night. "The Walk-Offs" paints the lives and activities, of the "smart set" in colors that disturb. Lines of the play are clever, sparkling at times and?per haps?"wicked." The company is ad mirably balanced and the characters are clearly drawn. The audience which hlled the theater last night laughed and applauded its way through the three acts in apparent enjoyment, at the same time wondering to what new extreme the play might go. The cave man, Robert Shirley Win ston. a Kentucky millionaire, brings a breath of fresh air into the atmosphere of divorce, parisitism and immodesty. Edmonde Lowe plays the part with punch and vigor. Carroll McComas is Kathleen Rutherford, with whom the cave man falls in love. Her attractive personality, combined with really clever acting, make Miss McComas an ideal selection for the part of the sis ter of an impecunious parasite, herself | compelled to live on the charity of her sister-in-law and wealthy friends, but I retaining withal a sense of the real I values and a distaste for the life that! surrounds her. Yet while willing to | criticise that life Miss Rutherford is ! incensed when she overhears Robert j Shirley Winston attach it and she un dertakes to make him pay for his "in sults." She finds, however, that she ! has met more than her match. In one : of the most amusing parts of the pl^y the authors have turned to Shakfe | speare and his "Taming of the Shrew." I Winston plays the modern Petruchio with almost as much roughness as the (Original and Kathleen is as irritating ; as the old Katherine. i There are others in the cast who j are worthy of particular praise. Roberta Arnold, as the divorced wife of Schuyler Rutherford, who cannot live without her recent husband, is "a scream." She made a real person ality of the part. Fania Marinoff, as Sonia Orloff, a model, who looks like a child and talks of free love, gave an admirable bit .of characterization. Janet Travers Is Mrs. Alicia Elliott, the corespondent in the Schuyler Rutherfor.d divorce case, and there seems no limit to her powers as a vampire. Emmett Shackleford, as George Washington White, Winston's "black boy," tells the story which gives "The Walk-Offs" its title, and Fred L. Tiden is seen as Murran Van Allan, a New York millionaire anxious to marry Kathleen Rutherford. He re tains the brute desires of the cave rnan, but has none of the conventional ideas of the respect due women which have been handed down to the Ken tucky Winston. Other parts are cap ably taken by Frances Underwood, Elmer Ballard, Charles A. Stevenson and William Roselle, who is seen as Schuyler Rutherford, the inebriated, irresponsible parasite. The settings of the play are at tractive, particularly the last scene, when the curtain rises upon a roof garden of a New York sky-scraper, with the Hudson river in the back ground. The characters appear in the costumes they have worn to a fancy dress ball, Sonia, the model, as Salome, but minus six of the famous seven veils, and Mrs. Rutherford in almost equally diaphanous apparel. Lyceum. "The Beauty Revue" was presented at the Lyceum Theater yesterday, and met with instant approval. It is a burlesque frolic in two acts and six scenes, in which twenty-two musical numbers are rendered. "Stolen Sweets" is the name given to the piece for which Jack Smith and Nat Os borne composed the music. The cast headed by Eddie Dale and George Bartlette, with Ada Lum, the Chinese prima donna, includes Helen Gibson, Ethel Bartlette and Harry Patterson. Casino. "The Topsy Turvy Girls,'* this week's offering' at the Casino Theater, opened to an appreciative house yes terday afternoon. It is one of the new shows on the circuit, with new songs, new dances, new scenery, new costumes and new "business" for the comedians. The cast, headed by Dolly Sweet, In cludes Katherine Ross, Helen Adair, Fanny Albright, Hattie Howard, Tom Howard, Billy Kelly, Joe Davis and Walter Mann. Thirty-six pretty girls make up an exceptionally good chorus. Photoplay Features. loew'a Columbia. Wallace Reid is pictured as a dere lict, who has been shar.ghaied for the lumber camps and who is re formed by the daughter of a boss, in "The Source," the photoplay attrac tion at Loew's Columbia Theater. The efforts of alien enemies to stop the progress of work at the camp In troduces the patriotic element and contributes to the rehabilitation of the derelict by making a hero of him. It is a melodramatic story and the star divides the opportunities for holding the spotlight with Raymond Hatton. Theodore Roberts, Anna Lit tle and others. Strand.

'The story is, of course, fietion. but it serves to picture the barbarities which have aligned the civilized world against the central empires. Short reels and an eleborate orches tral accompanlmen are other fea tures. * Garden. "Boston Blackie's Little Pal," a story twisting the plot of "Editha's Burglar" into film entertainment wherein a burglar is reformed by the small boy of a house he is trying to rob, is the attraction at the Garden Theater the first three days of this week. Bert Lytell has the burglar role and Rhea Mitchell is pictured in the leading feminine role. Comedy reels are shown also to orchestral ' accompaniment. Leader. "In Judgment Of," the photoplay shown at the Leader this week, intro duces Franklyn Farnum as a co-star with Anna Q. Nilsson and the pair work delightfully together. The hero ine of "In Judgment Of" has the uncanny power to read the thoughts of others, and through this second sight is able to clear her lover's name of dishonor and reinstate him in the household of the father who previ ously had refused to recognize him as his son. A feature also is Spencer Tupman's excellent arrangement and playing of the musical score on the pipe organ. | f Knickerbocker. Mae Marsh, in her newest photo play, "Money-Mad," first shown at Crandall's Knickerbocker yesterday and continued today, is pictured as Elsie Dean, a young girl surrounded by luxury, who is far from being happy because of her distrust of her stepfather and the continued pres ence In th ehouse of a Hindu mystic. One of the novel and dramatic mo ments in the story comes at a seance, with Elsie and her sweetheart pres ent, when the girl makes a discovery which assists her in solving the mys tery of her stepfather's actions, and in discovering the true cause of the death of her mother. The latest issue of "The Allies' War Review" also is shown. Apollo. "Her Only Way' was yester day's film attraction at Crandall's Apollo, and will be shown again to night. Crandall's. "Sauce for the Goose," the photoplay at Crandall's yesterday, today and to morrow, is a pleasing farce-comedy, with Constance Talmadge as its star. The story concerns a wife who finds herself becoming gradually estranged from her husband, a budding young author, whose head has been turned by the fulsome praises of an adven turess many years his elder. Believing in the old adage that "sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander," the wife be grins a mild flirtation with a former sweetheart, which results In complications not altogether antici pated by the plotters, but neverthe less effectively reunites the drifting couple. Harrison Ford'1* pictured as the husband. Savoy. "Her Only Way." starring Norma Talmadge, was shown at Crandall's Savoy yesterday and remains there today. The story deals with a girl who chooses the richer of two ad mirers as her husband, although loving the poorer and soon realises that he is neglecting her for another woman. Later he manufactures evi dence against her by means of which he obtains a divorce, whereupon she plans a fitting: punishment for him. It is this revenge that leads up to a surprising climax. Avenue Grand. David Wark' Griffith's film master piece "The Great Dove," was shown at Crandall's Avenue Grand yester day and continues there today. The war and scenes photographed in the trenches of France, with the story's love interest, afford wide opportuni ties for noted film stars. A spectacu lar air raid on Liondon, together with an exciting: chase for a German spy who is directing the movements of the raiders from an automobile, gives a full share of thrills. Lillian Gish, Robert Harron and Henry B. Wal thall are supported by a large cast, which includes George Fawcett and Rosemary Theby. The picture also shows notables of the English no bility with the queen mother, Alex andra, and Lady Diana Manners, who posed especially for the picture. Lieutenant Colonels Reassigned. Lieut. Col. Ben. Lear, jr., general staff, and Lieut. Col. William G. Meade, United States Army, have been relieved from their present duties and have been ordered to such points in Texas as may be indicated by the Governor of Texas for duty as colonels of the 3d and 7th Regiments of National Guard Cavalry, which have been authorized to be raised in that state Capital and Surplus, $2,000,000 W\usiness men sub MJ ject to the next draft should make pro vision NOW for the direction of their af fairs and care of de pendents.
