Here's Ann Forrest, one of the , real beauties of the screen, wearing- rags and torn woolen stockings and a most disheveled head ,of "riotious golden hair in "ThePrince Chap," William De jlille's new ..production, at the Grand theatre opening tomorrow.' Miss Forrest has appeared as lead ing woman for many prominent stars. She was the heroine 'in the Houdlnl picture, "The Grim Game. in every case she has been a pleasant -vision in exquisite costumes that represent the latest creations of the modistes' art. But in "The Prince . Chan" she Is a slavey around the, poor artists' stu dios in the Bohemian Quarter of Lon don. It is a tribute to Miss Forrest's personal charm that' even in this rag ged garb she Is an appealing figure. ACADEMY JFBJSCQ.LKS Those who have read Gene Stratton Torter's charming story-"Frecklea" and loved the nameless wail for his manly spirit, his light wit, Irish, lore, and his beautiful songs, and who reverence the "Swamp Angel" for her beauty amd her chaste, womanly character, ' will meet no disappointment la the play. ; x. "Freckles" is proving still a greater success as a song play than the novel, which has been read by several mil lion people. , , It must not be understood that "Freckqles" is a play essentially with BU EDDIE POLO In His Greatest Serial Achievement Circus" TRY TO GET IN!

It represents - prac tically the football profits of two years at Pitsburgh. ' Football has become throughout the country the mairi support of all ath letic interests in the majority of col leges and universities. Without the football ' gaW the various teams, nines and. crews could not be financed, t ;In fact, the expense column of a uni versity athletic department today;; Is so large" that few care to publish it in detail, and b if football should sud denly cease the undergraduates and alumni of any of our large universi ties ifould stand aghast at the. request to furnish an amount of money neces sary to carry on the other sports.

I And these expenditures are growing i steadily. At the time of the war, a ( great amount of sentiment . was ex- pfessed In faculty and athletic commit- tees to the effect that this was the time I to b tart on a new era of economical ,adminiRtration In athletics, and many were the declarations made against training tables, engagement of seasonal coaches; expensive traveling and the j like.

Reductions in retail prices ; of coal averaging $2 a ton were announced today by fuel dealers, this cut bringing quotations down from "f 15 to 117.50 to a - range Of from $13 to $15.50. a "Another price reduction which Is ex pected here within a few days, accord ing -to a chamber of commerce com mittee, applies to meats.

The only case of track games wherein. a good profit Is madia is the -Pennsylvania relay car nival. It comes'at a time of year when interest is becoming ripe in track ath letics, and last year an accotint of the international flavor, given by partici pation of British athletics, the, relay affair made a profit of nearly $25,000. And ..this is .about the only event. In track . athletics . where . profits can be counted upon..

What a great crash would come at any; time if foot ball failed to provide in this way for the sustenance of the other non-paying athletic branches, ' may this b "im agined." . J. Finally, it fs now an, accomplished fact that football, is as indicated in the first" paragraph of this article, 'pay-' lng not only for the support of other sports but for the educational build ings of j the university, ; .
