Pa., March 7.—For the first time in many years all the stores of this place were closed yesierday as a voluntary contribution toward a sane chservance of the Sunday laws of the state As far as reported tonight, there were mo violations of the promises made to the ministerial committee of the four Protestant churches early in the week that a general shutdown would be ohserved by the shopkeepers of the county seat. The four drug stores were open for the sale of medicing by prescription only, not one of them dealing out icc cream or soda water, while the general candy stores and fruit markets were closed. Several of the garages en the outskirts of the town were open for the sale of gasoline to machines on the way through theé Beaver Road to Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, but they showed ry little activity, each using only one employe. — \ll the restaurants were open as us- ual. and the dining rooms of the hotels were doing business, as it is the cus- tom of muny persons here, even church- goers, 1o take their families to the for Sunday dinner. Ministers of the several churches in the town all agreed that there was no disturbing feature in connection with the observ- the Sunday laws, and ‘their congrcgations in the morning services were large, all showing heavy increases over the provious Sunday.

BARRYMORE NOW TIRED OF WEDDED LIFE. New York, March 7.—Ethel Bar- rymore and her husband, Russell | Griswold Colt, are to part. The docu- | ments necessary to a legalized separ- ation between one of the best known actresses of the country, and the son of the Providence rubber magnate have been drawn up in New York and will soon be executed.

Ben Loring and his Musical Fol- lies are the attraction at the Lyceum this week, with brand new shows, and a large audience was on hand this aft- crnoon to greet them. Ben Loring is known as the king of all funmakers, and he has a strong surrounding cast including Frank Wheeler, Arthur Brooks, Dolly CIlif- ford, Alice Melvin and a dashing beauty chorus. The opening bill for the first half of thig week is “Pretty Baby,”” a song play with all the latest song hits which were extremely well received today by the Lyceum patrons. “Brewster's Millions,”” which has convulsed the thousands of readers of what is perhaps the most popular novel ever written by George Barr McCutcheon, threw other thousands ot playgoers into spasms of laughter when it was presented on the stage. With the indescribably wider range of possibilities offered by the screen, this “Fatty” Arbuckle vehicle became o veritable explosion of hilarity, and hilarity aplenty was exploded hy Ly- ceum patrons who crowded the thea ter last night to see this photopla Arbuckle will be seen tonight, tomor- row and Wednesday. There’s many a bird would laugh itself to death if it had to look at as comical a scarecrow as Buster Keaton his latest comedy, “Tit Scare- crow,” which is helping Arbuckle’s comedy in funmaking. It will be shown the first half of this week. A surprise-packed serial picture is “Pirate Gold’’ now being shown at the Lyceum, featuring George B. Seitz and Marguerite Courtot. It is filled with suspense, thrills and ae- tion. THREE SHOWS AT FOX'S To accommodate the crowds that want to see “The Kid” at Fox's, the management has arranged for three showings of the picture, at 2:15, 5:15 and 7:15 o'clock. CHARLIE CHAPLIN BIG HIT AT PALACE. Charlie Chaplin broke all records for attendance at the Palace last night when he opened a four days’ rngngl-mem. in his new six reel com- edy, “The Kid.” Never before has Chaplin been as funny as he is in this picture. Charlie Chaplin has hit the high spot in delightful entertainment in his first attempt at a feature length picture, “The Kid,” which is the title he has given the story, which he has written himself, is to us, the most enjoyable Chaplin film we have ever seen. In the first place it simply bubbles over with laughter and the situations are so human that you do not feel foolish because Yyou are laughing. Again, it is long enough so that it provides a whole evening's entertainment in itself. But several times during the course of “The Kid" this.comedian made us swallow a lump in our throats and wipe real tears of sympathy from our eyes by the pathos of his acting, and before our handkerchief was back in our pocket it was needed again to dry our cheeks of the tears caused by the shrieks of laughter from the antics of the same actor.

It will be shown the first half of this week in connection with four acts of vaudeville, the Fox News, a Chester Outing Travelogue, a short comedy reel and the latest SIX j episode of the serial Fantomas. “The Kid” suits every audience It mingles every emotion. There ‘are laughs, sighs, perhaps a tear of two, but throughout it all the element of mirth reigns supreme. It deals with the life of a tiny waif who falls into the hands of a lovable hobo. Five vears later the hobo and his tiny pal are still tramping. One especially fun- ny part is where the kid runs ahead and throws stones through windows, while Charlie, working as a glazier, calmly comes along and gets work re- pairing them. The vaudeville bill features two specialtie: One is the Case Mitchel company, a musical trio, both vocal and instrumental; and Sandy Mac- Kay. Obviously, Sandy is a breezy Scotchman and injects a little pep into the show by bginging in ten minutes worth of “Scolch.” Another act is Mondi, who does things with an by Kline and Hutchins in a dialogue act. For Thursday, Friday day Fox's offers a real “big time" treat in Madga Dahl, well known Swedish opera singer, and Franeesco Colasanto nrusical director, with his 15 piece band i and Satur- “MAID TO LOVE” HAS A RADIANT CHORUS. At first glance it seems absurd, but any metropolitan stage director will emphatically aflirm that it is far eas- ier to complete the cast of principals for an important musical production --howeverlarge the cast may be--than it is to obtain a suitable number of chopus girls of acceptable presence | and thespic schooling. A high stand ard of beauty is demanded by the public; ability to sing, dance and do a great many other things besides| looking pretty is demanded by the directors. Another obstacle is the un- willingness of many of the prettiest znd best trained girls to “go on the road.” Inasmuch as “Maid to Love’ is not organized “for the road,” but for the Times Square Theater, New York, where it begins an engagement next Monday evening, the producer: had no difficulty in securing for their attraction the pick of Broadway's beauty contingent, and it is confident- ly expected that this chorus of extra- ordinary physical loveliness and grace, each girl possessing the ability to sing and dance, blessed though she is with more than a little of pulchri- | tude, will be a pleasing as well as dis- tinctive feature of the entertainment. ! This attraction comes to the Parsons Theater for three nights, beginning Thursday, March 10th with a mati- nee Saturday. Seat sale open Tuesday.

Rome, March 7.—Cardinals of the Catholic church gathered at the Vati- can this morning for the secret con- sistory at which Pope Benediet an- nounced the names of six new mem- Lers of the sacred college. The names submitted to the cardinals were those of Monsignor Dennis J. Dougherty, archbishop of Philadelphia; Juan Benlloch y Viveo, archbishop of Bur- gos; Francisco Vida! y Barraquer: archbishop of Tarragona; Francisco Ragonesi, Papal nuncio in Madrid; Josef Schulte, archbishop of Cologne, and Michael von Faulhaber, arch- bishop of Munich. Long before 9 o'clock, the hour fixed for the assembly of the Cardi- nals, the piazza of St. Peter's - was crowded by emsenl of Rome M itors to tho clty who struggled to ob. tain vantage points from which the; might witness the brilliant proces. sion of the princes of the chuch t the throne room of the Vatican.

He led th cardinals into the throne room and there all but members of the ed college withdrew to allow the e nals to carry. out the historic pr cedure of naming the men who wo: receive the red hat, symbolic of t wearer’s elevation to the suprem governing body of the church. Formal presentation of the nia of office to the new cardina s take place on Thursday in the b o beatification of the Vatican. Tha ceremony will be much more elabor. ate than that which occurred today. Chief interest in tod: ceremon: centered in Archbishop Doughert, who after 31 years as priest, bishop and archbishop attained a place in the sacred college at an ags mue! below the average for members of that august assembly. Hardly secondary in interest wa the appearance of the two Germa archbishops Schulte and von K Faul habet.
