The steamer leaves the dock and imme- diately after the vessel is shown at high sea in the night. The flash of the signal rocket which features prom- inently in the story is observed to ex- plode. The lights of the maving vessel in the ocean are most natural. The Chinatown scene is another of the popular features of ‘‘Little Johnny Jones” and will be repro- duced here with the especial skill which has made the productions of Lyceum attractions so distinctive. “Little Johnny Jones” is an Amer- jcan jockey who has won an inter- national reputation for his skill in the saddle. Efforts are made to “reach” him and have him throw the great English derby. His sterling Yankee character will not permit him to enter the deal and he incurs the displeasure of race-track followers who proceed to make things unplea- sant for him, provoking a series of incidents that go to make up a most interesting plot. The catchy seng | numbers and Cohan comedy which have made for Cohan the great rep- utation he enjoys is most pronounced in this play. Mr. Birch will as- sume the character of “Jones,” in which -Cohan won his sobriquet as the ‘Yankee Doodle Boy.” Miss Callaway will present the character of “‘Goldie Gates.” “The Girl in the Taxi,” which is so popular this week, will be repeat- ed this evening and twice on Satur- day. FINE PICTURE BILL AT LYCEUM SUNDAY L i i Eight reels of the finest producnonsl by America’s greatest and most suc- cessful motion picture makers are of- fered by the management of the Ly- ceum for the Sunday evening con- cert, » Thé big Vitagraph Broadway fea- ture production of ‘“Between the Two of Them” shows two popular stars in three reels of absorbingly interest- ing drama. There is a punch in the ircidents and the thrills of daring as enacted will be watched with grow- ing interest. ‘“The Girl and the Bach- elor,” in two reels, by the Kalem stars presents a review of most entertain- ing occurrences. The latest Essanay production just now released is “The Man in the Motley” and pictures vital action. A Biograph production which is regarded by censors as one of the company’s best is the very dramatic picture entitled “The Test of Sincer- 1ty.” The management also offers “The Nameless Fear,” a production WELL BALANCED BILL SHOWN AT KEENEY’S For diversity and even balance the THAT | Hi.

But this we know—the determination of women that there shall no more wars will accomplish something, whether through this conference or not. I myself helieve that it is through the schools, through the education of the men of tomorrow, that the women of today have the power to end war. They know now that the power is theirs. It is only necessary for them to learn how to use it. Then Dr. Montessori deseri system of education, which is very practical. The equipment of her schools includes aprons that the chil- dren learn to put on and button for themselves; in fact, “buttoning up’ and lacing, and tving knots and bows, in short, learning to dress one's self, is a very important Montessori course, So is learning to wash on. elf and clean one's teeth, and set the table and serve and clear away the dishes. “Do the children play well as work?” I asked. “Oh, yes.

The extra years in the baby school, if you choose to call it so, will be d in the gramrar school. “Then, teo, fewer teachers are need- ed in the upper classes, We find that even the very little children will work ! alene for hours after they have been shown an activity that interests them, but the older children will work alone | for weeks.
