World War in East
Predicted by Priest
New Tort, May 15. I. N. S.) An
other world war within 30 years was
predicted by th4 ' Rev. Peter Chan, a
Catholic priest of Canton, China. At
St. Ignatius Loyola's church Father Chan

was unsatisfactory all around. Within
20 years, he said, if Shantung Is still held
by Japan, China will reclaim her lost
province by force. . 1

Fulling-a "fine sight" on a jack rabbit
that loped away in front of him near
here the other day, Edward Everlihg
scored a 'direct hit. Upon picking up the
animal Eberling was surprised to dis

Brooklyn Will
Have Fine
, Orpheum
BROOKLTNJ N. T. The Orpheur
atre, for years the chief vauc
m the-
vaudevtlle
house of Brooklyn, Ur to be replaced by
a hew building.
The contemplated structure will be
located on the plot bounded by DeKalb
avenue. Gold and Prince streets. The
B. F. Keith . theatrical Interests estimate
that the cost of the new theatre will be
about $1,000,000. It is planned to make
this house the leading one devoted to
vaudeville in the country.
The theatrical firm has applied to the
building bureau of this borough for per
mission to demolish the 21 structures
now on the plot and work on 1 their de
struction will begin as soon as they have
been vacated. i-; r . . y..;
The plot was assembled ! for the big
enterprise by William G. Morrisey and
Frank L. Maher as brokers. It has been
a long and tedious process, involving
court proceedings In the interest - of
minors, and the adjustment i of leases
htld by tenants on the property. ' The
most valuable parcels in the assembled
plot were purchased from the Fleet es-.
tate. These include the DeKalb avenue
frontage now occupied by storekeepers
and which it is planned will be the front
of the new theatre.
The IS other: parcels procured were
purchased from individual owners. Most
of these are two and three story dwell
ings, which are landmarks of the local
ity. ... - j- : -
The seating capacity of the new the
atre will be twice that of the Orpheum,
or about 3500. The building will be de
signed after-the new Keith theatre at
Syracuse, i but will , be more expensive
in its interior decorations and furnish
ings. , -- ! . . -

I Be Driven by Power
Lebanon, Pa.. May 15. I. N. S.)
Installation of power-driven sewing ma
chines in private homes Is the plan used
by the local industries in combating the
shortage of female help. Without the
new plan several local plants requiring
many female sewing macfiine operators
would have been compelled to ' close
Eown. Under the new system, which is
roving quite a success, there has been
no trouble in finding workers.1 The ma
chines are installed in the homes by. the
company, which also gives them me
chanical attention. Work is delivered
to homes and again collected when fin
ished. Many married women are now
spending idle moments helping to la
crease the family income. r -.

HEILIO In the same series that
Florens Zefgfeld is regarded as the
- leading producer of musical shows of
startling novelties In New York, so are
Kolb & Dill ragarded as the premier
purveyors of musical comedy de luxe on
the Pacific coast. They are to play a re-
. turn engagement of "Wet and Dry" at
the Heilig Thursday, Friday and Satur
day of this week. While their produc
tions are not quite on the lavish scale of
those of the Eastern producer their ap
peal in most cases has proved to be even
greater. For Kolb and Dill have the ad
vantage of knowing what; the theatre
goers of the Pacific coast like and want
to pay their money to see and they have
ability to Supply the demand.
"Wet and Dry" may correctly be said
to be as timely as the present moment.
It deals with the subject of : prohibition
In a screamingly funny way.i Besides a
plot of exceptionally hilarious propen
sities "Wet andJDry." like all Kolb it
Dill productions, Tjoasts a bevy of beau
tiful girls. ' Jean Haves, who collabor
ated with Max Dill in writing the com
edy, furnished a program of musical
selections of the URing. tuneful sort
which cling to the memory of "theatre
goers long after the show has come and
gone. -v. i- . f
Also there are many quaint and orig
inal scenic effects and gowns specially
designed.

LTBICA royal Egyptian spiritualist,
much hunted by would-be brides,
and a woman policeman, which Ben Dil
lon says is the. very, latest wrinkle In
musical comedies, are two of the princi
pal characters in "The Royal Odassa"
whicfa opens for a week's playing at the
Lyric this afternoon. j
Clarence Wurdig will play the" part
of the i spiritualist. Odassa, and Marie
Celestine will be the feminine "cop." j
The play depends for its fun on the
efforts of Mrs. Michael Dooley (Made
lalne Matthews), ignorant but wealthy,
who seeks to enter society, and who has
a sister (Dot , Raymond) and a girl pro
tege from the country (Blllle Bingham)
whom, she hopes, will i be married to a
person of title.
Fun starts' when Mike comes home,
intoxicated, and with a friend, and seeks
admittance to his own home. In order
to get in. he tells his wife that his friend
Ike is the great Odassa and the trick
works until i several more pretenders
enter, and until the real Odassa pops in
to cause a wild turmoil among his im
personators and among the women. '
Ben Dillon and Al Franks, in the two
big parts, will have a chance for intro
ducing more of their specialty features,

amusing from start to finish.

headline of this show, but also' an
extra attraction, as be appears in mono
logue in addition to staging his play
