Contrary to popular belief, she said, Miss Cavell not a young woman, but an estimable woman in her fifties at the time she was executed by a firing squad. She said that Edith C vell was known as “Sister Edith,” and .#he added “if ever there was a wom- | an who dared Prussia to do its worst and was glad the dare was taken it was Sister BEdith.” 1 The speaker also had only the words of greatest praise for the work of the American consuls and ambassadors | abroad She met them frequently in her work overseas and said ‘‘to those who think slightly of American con- suls let me tell you when you are in | trouble in German lands an American | *onsul looks like an archangel about | nine feet high.” Miss O'Reilly herself was once arrested by the Ciermans for “talking back” to a Prussian officer.

In one in- stance she told of a large fort, sup- posedly firmly held by Russians which ‘was easily captured by the Germans, ‘giving them a firm footing. Investiga- tion showed that this fort was by a Russian nobleman who had con- 3tructed it out of sand and put a thin coating of cement over it. For this traitorous feat he was paid a large sum by the Germans and was also #4id to have been decorated by the ar for “building a fort that did rot low up when captured.” It was this intrigne and political rottenness that hasteued Russia’s downfall, the speak- er said. During her long stay on the battle- front Miss O'Reilly saw war as it really js and today her voice is some- what rough as a result of a gas at- tack in which she fizured. In com- menting upon this she explained that she was fortunate in getting only a mouthful of the poisonous gas, and the bovs at the front get more than that so that they have no more than a croak left to their voices in some in- sances. Speaking of the inter-rela- tions of the Allies, she said that to- day the Allied nations across the wa- marking time waiting for the ‘ans to bring up their legions. past year, she said, the Germans have failed in their cherish- £d hope of bringing the war to a close through the use of the submarine She also laughed when she recalled that a few months ago this country was much wrought up over the su- gar shortage.

Everybody who saw the perform- ance Monday agrees that it is the best since the theater entered the vaude- ville business, and the statement made in the face of the fact that the theater has housed some excellers shows.

Youmg and Wheeler surprised the audiences Monday by giving them a little more and a littie better stuff than they had expected. They al- most make their piano and violin and get excellent harmony. As for the Yankee Comedy Four, 'twere better ' the act be seen. TFour men different and contrasting parts keep the time passing quickly with an abundance of humorous pat- ter, and their vocal selections are well rendered. Miss Marsh has been given every- thing desired, by the Goldwyn cor pany, to make this, her newest pic- ture, the best she cver appeared in. Supported by Tom Moore and a ca- pable cast of characters, the diminu- tive actress is at her best. The story has a quaint, appealing charm, and well filmed.
