12 AMERICANS ARE IN BAD PLIGHT Seven Held Prisoners by the Bolsheviki in Worse Condition By Associated fress Yarsaw, June 6. The plight of seven Americana, one or them a woman, held by the Bolsheviki in prisons on various charges, is worse to day than at any time since they were taken into custody, in the opinion Captain Merion C. Cooper, of Jacksonville, wno escaped recently from one of the camps near Moscow. Captain Cooper at the time of his capture was commander of the Koscuiszko air squadron of the Polish army. Life in a Bolshevik prison camp is a matter of physical endurance as to the length of time one is able to hold out if compelled to live upon the food furnished by the Soviets, Captain Cooper eaid.

All of the Americans would have died long ago. Cooper believes, if it hadn't been for outside aid from time to tiiie. Captain Cooper said he was on the verge of starvation several times, members of a British railway mission who were also prisoners coming to his rescue with food in one instance and on other occasions, eatables having been sent him by foreign welfare organizations. The food ration of the average camp follows: Morning Imitation coffee, half pound black bread, spoonful sugar. Noon Two spoonfuls cooked mush made of cereal resembling bird seed.

Night Cup of hot soup. A small amount of potatoes and a piece of meat usually not larger than an egg. were served on an average of about twice a month. The black bread, according to Cooper, who, as an aviator with the First American Army, was captured by the Germans during the Saint Mihiel drive, is far worse than the bread served by the Germans even during the last few weeks of the war.

Bob Bennett, played by Don Burroughs makes a bet to tell the truth "Nothing But the Truth," for twenty four hours. Its a little thing thought Bob, but little did he know what it would lead to. He did not know that Mr.

Halston with whom he made the bet would ask his opinion of Mrs. Ralston, who inci dentaly happened to be his intended mother in law. He did not know that he would have to tell what he really thought of Ralston, his partner or the bishop. He did not know that he was to be asked what he thought of the voice of an intimate lady friend. No he did not expect to have to answer all these inquiries, but he was, and a lot more You can readily see what1 that did to the peace of Bob, but he won his best and how he won it, is portrayed by the Harrisburg Players in a gale of laughter Mss Edna Hibbard, who scored so heavily last week in "Scandal," will be seen as Gwendolen Ralston, Bob's fiancee Miss Dorcthy Burton will play the role of Mabel, a chorus girl friend of Ralston, and the cause of much woe to him To night will be ladies" night and Saturday afternoon directly after the matinee the Harrisburg Players will hold a reception on the stage, to which the entire audience will be invited Seats are on sale for the estire week at the theater box office and at 12 South Market Square Matinees will be held on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday at 3 and every evening at 830 GEXE METCAI IMPERSOXATOR, AT MAJESTIC THEATER TO DAY Gene Metcalf is the unique impersonator who keeps a mystery veiled about his or her personality all the time.

Gene wears a perfect thirty six and has the distinction of wearing the simples gowns and frocks and in i men's clothes the snappiest and most fashionable models. It has been said I of Gene that the audience is always guessing as to whether Gene is a man or woman and they never can tell of i wn accord. Another feature on ths bill are the Siller Brothers who are only fiv and six years old respectively.
