After being immersed in the war atmosphere, (dt was a delightful change last night to step into the ly when such a funmakeras Raymond Beauty Shop," with Corsica and the Mediterranean as the settings, was the vehicle used by Hitchcock to enrapture his audience. It was a light musical comedy of course, with the celebrated comedian in the role of Dr. Budd, a beauty doctor, who found a feud where he had an. ticipated a fortune. . Hitchcock was simply great and kept the house in laughiter all the time he was before it, His reference to the kaiser caught the audience. The production has a number of pretty songs and dances, and a female chorus whose voices are as lovely a their forms. Of the prin- ¢ipals, besides the star Miss Marion Sunshine, Miss Anna Orr, Miss Christine. Mangarsarian and Joseph Herbert are decidedly good dancers. There are eighteen musical num- bers, and all good. Hitchcock's own song, ""All-Dressed Up and Nothing to Do," was well received. The pick of the others were "Come Along Little Girl Come Along," and "Twas in September." tr Hiteheock's usual speech, after the seeond act, included an apology for the curtain gising half an hour late. "The gosh-darned railroad was a fault," he explained, the train from the east being two hours late. The . house was very large, there being a number of theatre parties from nearby towns. 4 Guy Brothers' Minstrels. This is the oldest minstrel organi- zation before the public to-day, and Geo. R.

Then Germany Would Realize at Once the Futility of Continuing to Fight -- Another Movement is Be- ing Prepared Against Germany, Petrograd, Sept. 18.--The Russi- an 'newspapers, to-day, follow up yesterday's suggestions, with em- phatic demands, that Italy join in the war on the side of the allies. It is pointed out, in plainly inspired articles, that were Italy to im- mediately join in the conflict, such action would compel Austria to abandon Germany and sue for im- madiate peace. The result of that would 'be, the papers point out, that the Gérman people would reali- ize at once the futility of continu- ing to fight. The general situation at the front is inscribed as constantly improv- ing. While information is withheld it is believed that another import- ant movement against Germany is being prepared.

Andrea snatched a sabre from the German nearest him and killed two men with it. By this time he saw that his com- puniotis, were dead or captured. He seized a flag from a German, and put- ting it under his arm he raced through the village stréet as though attempting a try in rugby football, a number of Germans following at his heels. After sprinting a quarter of a mile he left his pursuers far behind and later rejoined his regiment with tbe Hag, having been lucky enough to escape any injury from-the hail of bullets directed at him.
