Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 15.—Twelve lives were lost on freighters on the Great Lakes in 1922, The property loss on the 15 boats that were lost in 1622 was small ,as they were all small carriers of the old type, with a trip| capacity of 19,150 tons. Figuring twenty trips a season, they could move about 383,000 tons of freight, or a little more than one steamer of the largest class. There was not one| vessel in the list classed as an ore carrier. Eleven lives were lost on the Can- adian steel stecamer Maplehurst, for- merly the Cadillac, which foundered on Lake Superior, and one member of the crew of the Canadian steamer ‘City of Dresden was lost when she was wrecked on Jake Erie. The | Maplehurst was the only freighter of that class that was a total loss. All the others were wooden ships. In addition to the above fatalities, sixteen lives were lost on the Can- adian lighthouge tender Lambton, four on the tug Reliance and eight on the tug Cornell, which was lost on Lake Erie in December. i Bats, to avoid collisions with ob- stacles when flying, emit a vibrating note, inaudible to human hears, which reacts on meeting an obstruction, warning the bat to turn out.

Adams himself a clever uproar, The Hoffman Histers are about the snappiest rough and tum- ble female dancers who have yet ap- peared here, and the Two Johns also have a neat acrobatie specialty, while Hoffman and Myers, two men, shoot neross a rapid fire line of comedy pat- ter and jokes, This fine program s backed up by a great photoplay, Quiney Adams Sawyer, one, of the teading releases of this period. “Quiney Adams Rawver” !5 a play of old New England life, pol unitke “Way Down East" in its fundamen- tals, yet the story is entirely different, while its thrills more than equal the great ice scene in the last named pie- ture, When the léading man, John Bowers, leaps from a high cliff into the river, while astride his horse, gnd when he swims out to the old ferry which 1s swirling towards the rapids with the blind girl on it, the specta- tor unconsciously grips the handles of his seat, A notable cast presents the plcture, among those working with Bowers being Lon Chaney, Elmo Lincoln, Barbara l.e MarrGail H®ry, Hank Mann and Louise Frazenda.

With him is Miss Net- tie Nelson, one of the rare women actresses who is an accomplished com- edienne. The show put on by the Ott players is absoluely lacking in any plot or gequence of events, but it is so constructed that its elements of fun and frivolity more than make up for that. One scene stands out pre- eminently in which Ott and Miss Nel- son enact a little resta ant { the pre-Volsteadian days. After quaf- fing two drinks the girl acquires what seems to be a convincing jag and her impersonation of a giddy wom- an drunk is excruciatingly funny. This biil will be completely changed on Thursday. The current picture is Lon Chaney in “Flesh and Blood.” Beginning Thursday, Charles Ray will be seen in his latest production, “Gas-Oil-Water.” PHILHARMO For many years the New York re- citals of Harold Bauer, the eminent pianist who plays here at Parsons’ theater, Hartford, next Monday aft- ernoon and evening with the Phil- harmonic orchestra, Mr. Schmitt con- ducting, have been events of excep- tion interesf; anticipated by piano students, lovers of the literature of the pianoforte and by Bauer “fans” —the latter in greatest evidence. At his most recent recital in the metro- politan city, Mr. Bauer was detained by his audience for three-quarters of an hour after the program had been finished, his admirers flocking around the piano while he obligingly played encore after encore. The notices in the New York press are significant of the position in the world of art occupied by this distin- guished artist, whom America may soon claim as her very own, since Mr. Bauer will become an American citizen this winter. » FOX’S NOW PLAYIN “QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER” 12— STARS —12 THURS., FRL, SAT.
