Rest of Pleasing Programme.
Folk who couldn't afford to see the
Russian ballet in all its magnificent
splendor when it came a-vislting last
Winter will have an opportunity this
week-end to see a slice of it at the
Hippodrome in the headline act.
Mile. Luxanne, slender, spirituelle
and of exceeding grace, is the pre
miere danseuse. She is titian as to
tresses, and as she leads her ballet of
butterfly girls, or dances in solo dance,
she makes a pretty picture.
The series of dances is most at
tractive and includes a group of grace
ful Grecian numbers, a rapid and sen
sational exhibition In Russian folk
dances, & beautiful and colorful inter
pretation of Oriental terpischore and
a dainty ballet ensemble entitled "The
Butterfly and the Rose."
The scenic investment of Mile. Lux
anne's act is unusually artistic and the
entire act has an educational and
artistic value.
A-big feature on the bill are the five
glossy, Intelligent seals. They are
comedian seals and seem to laugh and
enjoy their own antics as much as the
audience enjoys watching the fun.
Their sagacity and understanding are
amazing, and the exhibition is one that
entertains and gratifies.
A pretty girl, Miss Leighton, appears
as an actress who arrives in a rural
village between trains and has a con
versational adventure with the village
cut-up, a small-town rube with big
town ideas, played cleverly By a come
dian named Walmsley.
The dialogue fairly bristles with
new, keen jokes, and the Introduction
or a dance step or so and some de
lightful singing adds to the general
hilarity. Their act is called, appropri
ately, "The Peculiar Boob and the
Actress."
A pair of cheer-up individuals an
Leroy and Mabel Hartt, who have gath
ered together a nifty vocal offering,
featuring the sort of songs vaudeville
"hankers" for. Their singing voices
are individually excellent and blended
together in the melodies the effect is
delightful. Miss Hartt's costume is de
cidedly smart.
Ray Snow, as "The Man About Town."

"HIS COUNTRY NEEDS HIM"
m
Booked as Vagrant, Man Confesses
to Desertion From Army.
When Patrolmen Schad and Long
picked up Sam Wolf, alias Elliott, at
Second and Couch streets yesterday
and booked him at police headquarters
as a vagrant they did not know they
had a probable deserter from the Cana
dian army.
Immigration Officer Bobbins took
Wolf Into custody and upon examina
tion it was learned he was formerly
with a troop of Royal Engineers. He
told Mr. Robbins he had several months
ofxan unexpired enlistment to serve
when the war broke out. He probably
will be deported.
COURT TO DETERMINE PAY
City and County to Put Election
Problem Before Supreme Court.
It Is up to the State Supreme Court
to decide whether judges and clerks
serving at the Joint city and state elec
tion Monday receive $3 a shift or $6 a
shift. City and county officials met
yesterday and decided to put the ques
tion up to the court before paying the
election officials.
Inasmuch as the state law regarding
joint elections falls to mention special
elections, it has been ruled by attor
neys that the city would have to pay
the election officials (3 a shift and the
county would have to pay a like shift,
regardless of the fact that the same
officials handle both elections at the
same time and in the same polling
places.
TUESDAY WILL BE HOLIDAY
Council, at Suggestion of Baker,
Makes Change From Monday.
Tuesday will be a holiday for city
employes because of the war registra
tion. The City Council yesterday de
cided to make Tuesday a holiday in
stead of Monday, which is election day.
City employes will be given one and
one-half hours off duty Monday in
which to vote.
"Tuesday will be the most important
day In American history." said Com
missioner Baker. "It should be a holi
day rather than having a holiday on
election day." The suggestion was
adopted.
Mother Is Saved From Bull.
SELINGSGROVE, Pa., May 23. The
bravery of her 15-year-old daughter
Anna saved Mrs. Benjamin Hummel
from being gored to death by an angry
bull at her home at Mount Pleasanther
Mills. The mother was attacked by
the enraged animal as she entered the
barnyard and was stunned. The bull
then sank one of his horns Into one leg
of the helpless woman and was rolling
