The exceptions are generally found in the theater where enviable reputations may be made in a few years and because of early beginners, success may be obtained at an early age. This is the case of Marie Walsh and Irving Edwards, two clever young sters who are making decidedly good in vaudeville, and have done likewise in musical comedy. McLou'd and Koran are billed a? Mod ern Entertainers. They open the bill because of their exceptional popularity in every iuwii. Eileen Sheridan appears in comedy songs and dances and is said to pre sent a most delightful act.

Forbes, of Cleveland, Ohio, says he is willing and anxious to go before a Congres sional committee and testify to what Senator Watson charged, that Yanks met shameful death on I he gallows in France and that half has not been Told of the cruelties inflicted on Amer ican fighters by their own officers. Forbes not only makes the claim that he himself was the. victim of the cruelty system "over there." but he witnessed a hanging. This was at 1s-sur-Tille, France. Forbes produce photographs nf this execution. He makes the claim that there were others. This is the story in the former marine's own words: Tnnn Parker and Allan In many of the plays it 'straight,' of his moustache. Many Spectartilar Scenes. In staging the great battle scenes in the earlier portions of "The Birth of a Nation," which comes to the Ottoway Monday, D. W. Griffith employed many novel appliances to get his effects. For the first time in the history f motion picture art, he utilized the telephone extensively. Griffith in person, han dled thousands upon thousands of plpyers in a single scene directtna' them by wire. In order that the telephone lines might not become en tangled about the teet of horses and men in the mimic battle, Griffith laid tlK-ni underground, maxing- connections with all parts of the field & which wa, five miles in -extent.

American boys were executed on the gallows during, the .war, it is time that somebody revealed the truth to them. They a re. entitled to know that 'outrageously cruel treatment was meted out to innocent men who went into a foreign land to protect their country against invasion. I know of what I speak, for I my self was one of .the victims of thin cruel treatment and I myself witness- , ed one of the hangings. What I sav ! and what I felt I know. About August. 1019. I was detainel at thf infamous Ru? St. Anne's ho tel. I was an enlisted man with fh-; Fifth regiment of Marines. In the four days I was detained, I was subjected to the roughest sort of treatment by the guard, composed of Thirtieth com pany Marines. I was knocked down and was forced to undergo th3 "Swed ish exercises" for about 20 minutes. This was a favorite form of cruelty to the men. These punishments, I can prove by witnesses, were inflicted without cause. This particular guard company is well remembered by the A. E. F. for its cruelties. Who gave these men the au thority to punish soldiers, I do not know. I witnessed one hanging at Is-sur-! Tille, and with this article I produce photographs. These photographs ehow vAf t THe TOap was soruajg the gallows before and after the trap that sent an American boy to his shameful death, was sprung. The pho tographs show that this was an Amer ican being executed,' for the armed guard surrounding the gallo-vs all wear Yank uniforms. It is high time that the tr'.th hz told. THE A TEES New Keith Bill Today Splendid. . From Norfolk, Va., comes the ad vance, notice that the. new Keith vaude ville bill for the last half of this week is one that is far above the average. Tt is known to the local management that two of the acts are headliners on the largest vaudeville circuits. The outstanding feature of the bill is the big dance extravaganza, "Step Lively," with Mildred Rogers. . It is culled a Modern Cycle and the cast in cludes Tommy McGuigan, Lou Van Blake, Jack Dorkin and Harry Young. "Step Lively" represents the last word in terpsichorean iapid transit. Miss Rogers with the assistance of a male quartet, offers a dance cycle which is speed from the start to the finish.' Rarely, if ever before, has such speed been exhibited in dancing. It is in reality a dancing hundred yard dash with all five participants coming under the wire at record speed. Prob ably .never before have so many differ ent steps been executed in so short a space of time. It is speed, more speed and still more speed, but no mat ter how fast the pace may be, grace which is the keynote of dancing, ia never sacrificed. The dances were staged by Sammy Lee. The extra ..-added feature is. the well known attraction. "The Volunteers," a musical novelty by George ' Botsford, with Alfred Armond, Hall Pierson, Herman Haynes and George Madison. This act is the conception of George Botsford, a well known composer, who has furnished vaudeville with such well known successes as "A . Night at the Club." besides being the composer of well liked popular melodies. "What Youth and Experience Pro duce" is offered by Marie Walsh and Irving Edwards, two clever j'oung sters, in "A Symposium of Today's Tastes;" ' "' 1 . ' 'C ' T1 oenersi.
