FIELDS ON TRIP TO “THE RACE TRACK” v ‘At taé Race Track,” this weék's offering of Fields and Fields is a new comedy, written for Sol and Nat Fields and their Hebrew comedian, Harry Jackson. It is a screaming farce affording big opportunities to the laugh makers and it made a more favorable impression with the “first nighters” than anytiring that this popular company has presented since its advent in this city. . The dialogue is cheerful and snappy in its origin- ality ana style. The piece is exceed- ingly clever and it is bound to at- tract attention all week. Numerous specialties in which the Fields, Jack- son and the Three Shaws make a bid for applause are introduced duiing the piece.” The Shaws have a number of good songs, all of which are ren- dered in most entertaining fashion. There are a number of other good features n the pogram. ‘he show is well arrange and there arc enough humorous and.musical turns to make the bill popular, particularly in tais season. Malcom, an English juggler, opens the show with a bunch of nonsensi- cal bits that command attention. This eccentri¢ ‘chap does many original stunts.. He juggles cleverly and #so «does some stunts as a contortionist. His make-up i¢ clever and he pre- sents a ludicrous appearance. There are many thrills in the act of the Flying Keelers.

The, Pathe Daily and -the Hearst- Belig reviews will be shown again this evening. Thursday night there will be a Pathe. a Hearst-Selig and two comedy reels in addition to "Gl‘aus-’ tark.” a six part photo drama in which- Francis X. Bushman plays the leading role. FOX TO SHOW \ KLONDIKE MOVIE Robert Service's famous poetic masterpiece, ‘“The Shooting of Dan McGrew,” has been made into a five part photo-play production with Ed- mund Breeése, the powerful dramatic actor in the stellar role, which is to be shown at Fox's tomorrow and Thursday in conjunction with “The Romarice of Blaine,” the final triumph of pretty Elaine, which will be the concluding chapters of this most re- markable serial. In Cconjunction with the above, and a feature that tire will recité the full poem of “The Shooting of Dan McGrew,” prior to the showing of this attraction at each performance. ‘‘The Shooting, of Dan McGrew” tells in'its own red-blooded, big-man way of the loss of Jim’s wife by Dangerous Dan MeGrew; of his Girl Survivor of Lusitania New York, June 15.—“If the ship's officery had not assured us there was no danger and that the vessel would not sink 1 think more lives would have been saved.”" This is the opinion of Miss Virginia B. Loney of Hunting- ton, N. Y., a survivor of the Lusitania disaster, who arrived’ her on the American liner 3t. Paul, accompanied by Mrs. Harry Sedgwick. Miss Loney who is sixteen, but large for her years, was greatly saddened by the loss of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Al- len D. Loney, who accompanied her on the disastrous trip of the Cunarder. "Five minutes before the Lusitania sank,” she said, “two officers went was no danger. As soon as the tor- pedo struck us my father went below to get life preservers. He procured some, but used none for himself. My around the deck and assured us there | Iit again!” Who Lost Parents on Ship father and mother both insisted that 1 get into one of the lifeboats that was being lowered. 1 did not want to leave them, but they insisted in a fond way -that I go. The boat was upset, and I was thrown into the sea, where I drifted for about ten minutes. Then 1 was picked up. My - father and mother went down with the ship.” Miss Loney took an oar that had fall- en from the hands of a sailor who | had collapsed, and did her share of the rowing until the survivors were taken aboard a trawler. While ‘the St. Paul was being convoyed through the war zone by two British destroyers Mrs. Sedwick, her companion, sud- denly exclaimed: “See! There is a sub- marine!” Miss Loney became greatly agitated and, turning her gaze from the sea, said: “No, no. I can't stand months of struggle across the flat- bellied trail-and his final meeting with Dan McGrew—the man who stole his wife whom he killed. Tonight's pro- gram is a most ‘interesting and en. tertaining one comprised as it is, of comedy drama and educational fea- tures that are worthy of presentatirn at the higher priced motion-pictures in larger cities.. The feature attrac- tion tonight is “The Builder of Bridges,” with A. Aubrey Smith in the titular role. = The balance of the bill is made up of Charlie Chaplin in “‘His New Job,” and the next to the last chapter of “The Rlack T'ox” by E. Phillips' Oppenheim and the Pathe War News. | Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast. Steamed Prunes Cereal and Cream Bacon and Eggs Vienna Rolls Coffee Lunch. .

New York Tribune.) “It isn’t enough to be just an American. It isn’t enough. It doesn’t ™mean anything. We must be fanatic.” It was Mary Aantin talking, as she rucked back and forth in the swing on her porch, at Scarsdale. T had come to talk to her about Americanization Day, the resurrection of the Fourth of July, that has woén ir a short three weeks support from coast to coast, and found her there, her gray eyes shining and hér shock of short black hair ¢rowning the deli- cate and dreamy face of the woman who has found in America thae P'romised Land and who makes of it a religion, A Day of Welcome in Fifty Citles. “Fifty cities,” -she told me, nave al- ready told us that the Fourth of July 1his year will be.a day or welcome to the aliens within-their gates, and that the breath of reality shall be breathed in to the creed of our people. I am talking, not about the Constitution— that is, after all, only a piece of ma- chinery—but the Declaration of In- dependence, In that we had our pirth, and something of the fire of that declaration, in these days when democracies do draw the eold tongues of eynics, we must burn for these new- made citizens if they are not to miss aitogether what America is and what, perhaps, it meant to tifem long before they left Europe to come to us. “The war has brought nome to us —the things that we misséd doing. We didn’t make these aliens feel wel- ceme. We didn’t gather thém to us as brothers in the light of our creed that all men are created equally dear in the sight of God, with the rights enually sacred to pursue life, liberty and happiness. We, Ourselves, Are to Blame. “If we are shocked at the way these millions within our gates seem to forget their American citizenship, sUrely we ourselves are to biame. “We thought of the alien only as the fellow with the vegeiables who came to the back door, or the man who was peddling the lace ‘that we didn’'t want.

We complain perhaps that so few of them do takeé out their papers. But the fault is not theirs. This case i not single. There was a Pole who lived for sixteen years in a little Con- necticut town and never knew that it was possible for him . to acquire citizenship. It was his little Gaughter, who happened to reaed a pamphlet in the public library reading room, who broke the news to him, joyful news that gave to him a thrilling conscious- ness of America as his. “Oh, it isn’t for him aione. It is for ourselves that Americanization Day should méan so much. For in such as he lies civic salvation. He must be taught to care, and in teach- ing, we. too, shall foregather some of the high solemnity and the blessed eagerness of what American citizen- ship should mean.” Mary Antin is Russian born—n» Russian and of the Jews: but no Pilgrim Father, no. woman of 1776 ever was so heart and bone Ameri- can; ever saw further down the long vista of democracy’'s dream, nor held with more passionate faith to living citizenship. “I look forward,” she says in her soft voice, with, its touch of Slavic accent, ‘‘to the making of a civic ritual that shall mean what confirma- tion means to devout Christians. Not only our aliens, but the men and wo- men of twenty-one who come to the gateway of civic life shall be met by the elders of the tribe, and we shall make a ceremony tnat shall affirm, rot parrotlike, but truly, tae funda- mental political beliefs of this, our nation. For the rest of the year we may break up into parties and sec- tions and trades and néighborhoods, but for that one day in a twelfth- month, surely we could feel and think together, brother citizens .for one single day.

Is it not a sin against a little American soul to teach it that all Ttalians, our swartiiy broth- ers, are evil? “Take something else pened here, for instance.

That's more than many peo- ple can do.” E “Read it?” A~ Drama and In Every.day Life. “Yes, see that it is a story, be thrilled by it and appreciate the drama and Fomance in it.” she answered thoughtfully, “I suppose that is something to be thankful for, although I don’t know what I ever realized it. I was always so impatient because I wanted to write the stories I saw, and eouldn't.” The desire to credte is a primitive human instinet. 1t is so strong within us that we often forget that receptivity and ap- preciation as well as creation are important functions of life. It is & very tondeérful gift to be able to tell some of the many storles that go on about us. It is no despicabie gift to be able to see these stories. Not everyone has the seeing eye. Many people go through life never see- ing the romance, the drama and the inspirstion in the lives of those about them. It is something to he thankful for if you have this faculty, even if you havé not thé further creative faculty to “impart the gift of sesing- to the rest.” People Who Can Appreciate Much Needed. - The world needs those who can understand and apprécidte as well as those who can create, To beé able to understand and love good music is a gift as well as 4o be able to produce it. In college we had a music course in whidh we weére not taught te make music or anything abouyt the theory of harmony, simply to &pprés c:nla good music when we heard it. The course was called “music appre- ciation.” 3 A Good Audiénce Helps Make a Good Performance. hat is the more fashionable and be- coming. i H This is the hour of the long glove, and never was it daintier. silk prettier or Small hats with ostrich about the erown and mounting high in the front are new. Costly embroideries seem -to be entirely out of the question on sum- mer gowns. Tiny frills of lace and nét alter- hating distinguish some of the sum- mer models. Some of the pongeé coats have détachable collars and cuffs of ¢on- trasting silk. Of course there is a strong military vogue, and that means buckles al- most anywhéré you choose to wear them—and lots of buttons. And still the ear-rings increase. some of them are very long and | graceful pendants; not until the coif- fure becomes low again will they de- crease. There are hundreds of kidskin hats, made of the same materia] as the washable kidskin gloves, and if the greateést care is taken they may be washed. With the passing of spats for the summer all sorts ot fancies come to take their place—shoes with white tops. shoes with white-striped tops and shoes with gray tops. Undoubtedly feathers .are going out in millinery; ostrich is still toler- able, but wild bird plumage is prac- tically out of the question if you are to be in fashion. The frilly waist is in style again and you may have your frills run- ning down the side of the front pleat, or you may have frills on both sides of the pleat, but frills you must have. Make the bodice of vour crepe de chine dress of lowered design and | th skirt of the plain, then trim the bottom of the skirt with the flowered material, and you will have a most attractive dress. The extra lids of cooking pots can be kept in an orderly and con- venient manner on the kitchen drésser if a pieceof molding is fastened at the backjandi from one side of the dregser to the other, forming a rack, The lids can then be fucked behind thsi rack and will stay in place, Singers speak of the help a good dudience can be.
