"Her I'nborn Child." which has been playing the Walnut Street Theater, Philadelphia, era I weeks, is coming to the 1 nborn Orpheum next week, Mon- Chllil" day, Tuesday and Wednesday. The subject it deals with is modern.

Mr. Barnes tells a human interest story, dramatic, appealing, that is a powerful indictment of those supposed advanced persons who are seeking to probate the theory of birth control. His play shows the cause ar.d effect of the world's most serious crime. A youthful pair of lovers, who, blinded by the impetuosity of romance, love not wisely, but too well, are the central figures of "Her Unborn Child."

Hobart, which has been the dramatic "Experience" sensation of the past two seasons, is now announced for the Orpheum, week beginning Monday night. May 14, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. No play in years has scored the enormous success credited to "Experience," which at first was reported a failure, and then turned into one of the biggest drawing cards of modern times. The producers, William Elliott, F. Ray Comstock and Morris Gest, have given "Experience" a gorgeous stage setting and have provided a big company of eighty-two people.

The play tells the eternal story of trials, troubles and temptations when he goes forth in thebig world. It is told in the form of an allegory, yet all of the scenes and incidents are very much up-to-date. "The Four Husbands," one of the season's smart musical comedy tabloids, gives the Muxlenl Comedy entire perform- Tnliloiil at Majestic ance at the Majestic Theater the Hist half of the present week.

The company of twenty is headed by Emmett Vogan and Hetty Frank, who are said to not only possess pleasing personalities, but an abundance of talent as well.

The story tells of a small town youth, who secures a goodly inheritance and journeys to the Great White Way to "burn it up." After various exciting; experiences he finds that his money has dwindled to nothing anil learns that there are many unpaid hills to he met. After complications, involving a rich widow, whom he seeks to marry, he turns hack to his home town and starts life anew, taking over his father's chewing gum plant, where new experiences await him. Sparkling with a continuous series of humorous situations, offset by various drama'Jc scenes, this subject presents a bl eezy story of rapid action and human interest. typical George M.

Howard, of Rochester, N. known as "The Dittle Giant of the Platform," who will repeat the lecture which made a profound impression in the national capital at the twenty-second anniversary of the Reform Bureau, entitled "The Word on Fire," in which he makes a powerful picture of the cost of the war jin men and money, and offsets those deep shadows with the compensations which the nations that went into the war in self-defense are reaping; following which he will ask what can compensate the United States for the great "acrifices which the war is likely to require, and he will show that war prohibition is the only possible compensation commensurate to the cost. Dr. Crafts, in visiting the Capitol to arrange for this meeting, interviewed legislative leaders, and Speaker Baldwin volunteered the statement that while he was opposed to separate war prohibition for the State, lie would favor a resolution asking Congress to forbid the use of any food stuffs for liquors during the period of the war.
