High Class Vaudeville and Photoplays on Week's Em
FEATURE ON BILL
AT LOEW’S BIIOU
Many Big Vaudeville At
tractions on Bill This
Week and Two Great
Photoplays
With two big headline Attractions on
the Vaudeville programme and two
wonderful photoplays, the bill for the
v eek at Loew'i Bijou offers some rare
entertainment for the theatregoers.
That there is no act too big or * too
pood for Loew's i» evidenced by the
-bookings for tJi£ several weeks past,
which included some of vaudeville’s
biggest attractions.
And the offerings this week are up
to the best. For the first half of the
week Kincaid's Kilties will top the
bill. This is a company of bonnie
Dassies and hraw laddies from the
hills of Caledonia who will offer *
revue of Scotch songs and dances. A
big musical comedy, ‘Some Baby,” is
the headline attraction for the last of
the week.
A new screen star, Buck Jones, cow
boy-soldier, will be seen in "The Bast
Straw,” a gripping photoplay of the
west. For the second half of the week
the popular co-stars, Sylvia Breamer
and Robert Gordon will be seen in
“Respectable By Proxy,” a spicy ro
mantic drama. Other features include
ecreea comedies, news pictures, ani
mate<| cartoons and musical selections.
The Kinkaid Kilties, the original
lads and lassies from the highlands of
Scotland, in a jovial Scotch revue, top
the bill for the first of the week. This
talented aggregation is composed of
five men and six girls, who, in regula
tion Highland costume, will present
Scotch songs, comedy, dances and
music, including the bagpipes. This is
undoubtedly the best act of its kind on
the stage and has made a big hit wher
ever shown.
Another big feature is the offering
of Conyer and O’Donnell, the original
(parcel postmen. They appear as mail
carriers and have a nifty line of com
edy chatter and original songs. They
have the goods. Louise Mayo and
Fred Nevins have as their vehicle an
artistic and classy song revue intro
ducing restricted and popular song
numbers.
Song hits and character impersona
tions feature the act of Grace Leonard
and company, in which Miss Leonard
appears as “The American Boy.” This
is a classy number. An Inteesting en
;tertainer from the Orient, Kinzo, will
offer novel and eccentric juggling.
This act is well staged and unusually
clever.
Heading the bill for the last of the
week will be a screamingly funny
musical comedy, “Some Baby,” featur
ing Agnes Burr, Johnny Keenan and a
spicy chorus from a Broadway revue.
There are nine people In the act, which
Is featured by catchy songs, snappy
comedy and the newest dances.
Other big-time acts include Huyler
jand Bann, “The Scandal Mongers,” in
lEongs and comedy talk; Will M. Fox,
(eccentric and trick pianist, in an amus
jfeg musical monologue. "Versatility a
J3a Carte” is the offering of Jack Hal
len and Marie Goss, introducing com
edy talk and dances, and Will and
Grace Bonn are experts in hand-to
Ihand balancing.
The Biggest Business Kaset
William Marvin Jackson, In Forbes
Magazine.
The biggest asset that any business can
have Is not cash on hand or in the bank,
or bills receivable, or machinery and
equipment, or good-will. It is the work
ing force—the workers. They are the
biggest, the most important asset of all
In some factories a few men can take
care of machinery that produce huge
(quantities of material. In the ordinary
commercial concern it is hand-work plus
brain-work that counts. There mist be
an individual for every important opera
tion. Take away the working force and
little or nothing would be left. Andrew
Carnegie once remarked that the loss of
his machinery or of his buildings would
cause him little concern, but the loss of
his organization, his force, would be in
finitely serious.
The Greater War
From the Christian Herald.
The greater war, the war that is td
win America and the world for Christ,
is only beginning. It is to be the
logical corollary of the war just closed.
I,eaders of the church, and Christian
men and women everywhere, feel this
to be true deep down in their hearts
They feel that the coming of the king
dom, not only in our own lives, but in
those of all the peoples of the earth,
can be either delayed or hastened by
our neglect or fulfillment of our duties
in this greater war. This is the un
dertaking for which all real Christiana
now burn with ardor to begin.
Good for die Whole Family
“Grassy”
“A good cough remedy is one that can he
depended upon to fcure coughs. Not one
that cures some particular cough, but coughs in general.
It must be a cough remedy that can be relied upon for aD the
different coughs that are so prevalent. While the causes or all
coughs are primarily the same, yefc^he condition of the patient
is what makes the difference in titNaature of the cough itself.
Coughs of healthy persons are easier to cure than the coughs of
invalids. The powerful convulsive cough of a large man is
harder to cute than the cough of a baby. If you get a remedy
that will cure a large man's cough and yet not be too powerful
for the baby, you have a good cough remedy.
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
is just this kind of remedy. It is good for any member of the
family. It relieves coughs of all kinds. It is the product of much
thought and study to produce an ideal cough remedy. It is com*
posed of things which cure easily and soothingly without harm
ing the most delicate tissues of the throat. It acts as easily and
safely on the young as on the old. and is the ideal remedy for
coughs, colds, croup, influenza, whooping cough and bronchitis."

carrying with them five cars of
scenery ,a whole car of stock and 100
people for the cast: Heal live sheep,
donkeys and dogs are carried along
to transport the audience back to the
mountain-side pastures of 'old Judea,
where the play is cast. The story is of
Jether, the shepherd boy, who is given
his patrimony and leaves homo, to
wander about the world. How he
spends his inheritance on wildness, and
returns to his father’s home for for
giveness forms the old, old story of
the Prodigal Son.

cumbed to the lure of the movies. "On
With the Dance" will be at the Strand

west, portrayed as Mr. Carey knows
best how to do.
France Coming Back
From Forbes Magazine.
Just a word about Europe. In figuring
out what is likely to happen over there
don't forget that man—and this applies
to the collective man; or ns Rons-has re
markable powers of recuperation. Econ
omists, seeing only the waste and ruin
which afflict thein orderly minds, quite
often overlook the human element with
its rebirth of hope. To illustrate: Ae
constructipn of the textile industry tn
X ranee, declared only a few months ago
to be almost a hopeless task, is now pro
ceeding speedily. Fully D.COO porkers
are busy in texile mills that were "hope
lessly ' looted by the Germans. Europe

almost before we realize it. Recupera

course with the usual “snap back."

Christianity In Industry
Oscar New fang, in the Christian Her
ald.
The Christian standpoint In Indus
trial relations, as in all other human
relations^ was expressed by the
founder of Christianity in a single sen
tence: “Thou shalt love thy neighbor
as thyself.’’ The worldwide industrial
unrest which exists in the present re
construction period following the war
Is at bottom a blind, gropirfg effort to
substitute the law of warm-blooded
love for the law of cold-blooded justice
la the relations between employer and
employed.
Love demands not only that you re
frain from injuring your fellowmen,
but that you actively promote their
welfare in every way in your power.

Among those soldiers (ami the word
is used intentionally) who had the
wanderlust immediately after the arm*
isttce were two hard-working little
nurses stationed near Pont-a-Mousr.on.
They decided they must ace Metz. The
question of a pass having been debated
between them, they decided that it
would be wiser not to ask permission
for to go anyway after a pass had;
been refused (as they anticipated it
would be) would constitute a really
serious offence. So they slung their
little musette bags, laced on their tiny
trench boots, slippe out of camp before
reveille, and with a song on their lips
and in their hearts, hit the road for
the great fortress city of Lorraine.
They Aad made about eight kilo
metres when they heard the sputtering
of a truck behind them. At first they
wanted to hide. Then they thought
they would ask for a lift. It might be
a French truck.
But as it came around a bend in the I
road they saw to their horror that
offlicers on the front seat beside t
chauffeur. Inside were several s<
diers and some other nurses. Th
they saw that the officers belong
