Interesting H o u s e Plans - T H E - C. A. PORTER CO. 80 State St. Anburn, N. Y. “T h e M m t v W id o w ” ' -Probably, no theatrical booking of the season will arbuse greater interest locally,, than 1 that of , \The Merry Widow,\ tlie famous musical comedy success which will-be presented at the Auditorium nest Monday evening. The sale of seats .will beglif at the Auditorium- tomorrow morning and it-is curtain Unit a brisk -demand will set in at once. Everyone. i*,is heard of \The Merry Widow,\ nnd, of course, the company that will be seen here is a notable one. Tills company has been playing at the big cities and has met’ with flattering reception This company is presenting \The Merry-Widow”'a t Buffalo this week. Tuesday morning the Buffalo Express carried the following flattering re view : ’ • ‘“ The Merry 'Widow,’'which In all the years that have elapsed since its original production, has lost none of its lilting charm, was sung Inst'night at the Majestic Theater before nn au dience th.at included many who had heard it.for., the first .time and, per haps, ns many' more who were reviv ing happy memories. Both xhad a pleasant experience, tlie younger ones because all they had heard of the opera wns justified, and more; the older theatergoers because the piece Is as tuneful and as bewitching as In the old days, wb.en.everyone wns sway ing to the music of the famous waltz, with-which-Dpnald- Brian -and Ethel Jackson-danced themselves -into fame. • “A'-new -Merry- Widow essayed the role last - n lgbt Vivienne Segal, a charming girl with a lovely voice that Is equal: to. the heavy demnmls of tho exacting role. James Llddy as Prince. Danllo .was. a,, capable partner and the audience,recalled them again and again for the waltz song. Frank \Webster the English tenor, who is cast for Camille de Jolldon, was 111 last night. and his pla'oe was well supplied, by Ralph Soule.'Mr. Webster, however, is expected, to be well enough to slug „at tonight’s performance. Jefferson de Angell». as Nish had a hearty welcome after an absence of many years.-Marle~ Wells as'the wife of the Marsovian' ambassador, played the^part with'grace and charm and the, .Maxim .v.girls were a brilliant splash of color against the effective scenic ‘ settings. . 'The Marsovian dancers and .the. Marsovian trouba dours added lmmeasureably 'to tho for eign, atmosphere of the opera nnd the costuming is exquisite. The dances of Cecelia O’Andrea-- -and Harry Walter.i were one of the hits of the perform ance, particularly the Oriental dance in the Maxim set. ‘‘Under the direction of Max Illrsch- feld, nn augmented orchestra played the tuneful score nnd before the per formance was half over the audience was humming and swaying to the tune ful music ot the opera. ‘The Merry Widow' is here for the week. It Is a delight to eye nnd ear.” The Auditorium management an nounces thnt all seats must be taken up by Saturday evening, 0 o’clock, unless a deposit is made upon them to , hold them. The scat sale opens nt !! I o'clodk tomorrow morning. “Theodora” at Auditorium. The great screen spectacle “Theo dora,\ an adaptation on a stupendous scale of Sardou's great dramn, will be precepted at the Auditorium four days starting tomorrow. The picture 1ms been ncclaimed one of great drnmntlc interest and unusual spectacular fea tures. Regarding the cost of produc ing it, it is stated that there have been only a few occasions In the whole history of the screen where motion picture productions have taken In as much ns a million dollars above the cost of distribution—In other words where such an amount has gone to the producing organisation. Therefore “Theodora” furnishes nn entirely new experience. Even nt the present rate of exchange It cost more than ?3.000.000 to produce alone. Tills wns in Italy and does not represent cost of prints or any of the expenses In 'assembling, preparing, advertising or presenting the picture. It is easy to see, therefore, that “Theodora” must 'make more thnn five times what any motion picture In Ills tory has made in order to \break even\ with actual cost However ac cording to Goldwyn the throngs that i are crowding theaters for record runs I wherever “Theodora\ has been shown ( give promise that the roeelnts win j reach by tho time it has gone throu','li the whole country this staggering, yet iipopcsnry total But even if it does, it ic 1kol> i tn he a lung time before others tiiko i chance with a $5,000,000 impstini'nt before a rent bog us to come in ' Ri'ta J o l i v e t inf\-■*'*:*•• .

I t is expected that crowds will visit the theater tonight and tomorrow, as interest in the Grillith masterpiece has been great and all who have seen the picture arc acclaiming it as far re moved in dramatic breadth and spec tacular scope from tho average pic ture The special music aud incidental features makes it truly a noteworthy attraction. Not to have seen this p'c- ture will be a distinct loss for all who love the finest, in cinema presentation. B u t judging from the crowds flocking to the Jefferson Theater nearly every one in tills section means to sec “Wuy Down En«t.” In “Way _ Dowi) East” the master o f the silent drama has excelled him self. Oriflith has taken th 'S simple story of plain people and infused into it the charm of New England home steads with their quaint surroundings, dreamy perspectives of enchanting roadways, meadows nnd hills: old fashioned sleighing parties, barn dances and bucolic humors in a man ner which creates a new art form.

At the Universal. “Saturday Night,” the screen “sen sation” being shown at the Universal to large audiences, 'will be shown to day and tomorrow for the last times. This is said to be one of the finest pic tures ever produced by Cecil' B. De- Mille nnd that is saying much. The 1 story was written by Jeanie Macpher- son, author of many DeMille screen classics and the cast is practically all star. The principal players include Lea trice Joy, Cnnrod Nagle, Edith Roberts, Jack Mower, Julia Faye, Theodore Roberts and Sylvia Ashton— jail artists of the finest grade. The story deals with the marriage I problem, the effects of environment on humans, and allied, questions, and Mr. DeMille has handled them'with-skill and art stry for which he is famous. As might be expected in a DeMille pro duction. “Saturday Night.” ‘lias been produced ou a lavish scale and there are unusual thrills in the development of the story. There-is special music by the Universal Orchestra. Dance Monday e\eninc at Hall Admission'Sac.—Adv. Pythian At the Grard.

FARMERS STOUTLY OBJECT TO BONUS CONSUMPTION TAX “If the Senate \Ways and Means Committee favors a consumption tax for tbe purpose of raising revenue for the soldier bonus it will go directly in opposition to wishes of President. ■Harding,” H. C. McKenzie of Waltou, member of the Executive and Legisla tive Committee of the American Farm Bureau Federation, declares in a state ment issued yesterday through tbe State Farm Bureau-Federation. “The Farm Bureau is against raising so large a share of revenue through con sumption taxes,” he adds. “The underlying and fundament al injustice in consumption taxes is where a man has' a low in come, all of which he must spend for living expenses. He is taxed .on his whole income, whereas a man with a large income, one-half, one-third or one-tenth of which he spends for living, pays a tax on only that part spent and escapes a tax on the rest. “So this method is,” according to Mr. McKenzie, “taxation in inverse propor tion to a man’s ability to pay. This is recognized by all economists from Adam Smith down to the present time. Another feature that demands consid eration is the cost of collecting such a tax.” The Farm Bureau has consist ently opposed any method of taxation whereby levies would be made on those least able to pay, Mr. McKenzie points out.

In addition to arrangements now underway for the opening of new hotels and landscape improvements now under way for the opening o” new hotels and landscape improvements about several of the resort centers, community beautification ventures are contemplated iu the towns. {i. One of the biggest reported to, offi cers of the Finger Lakes Association is that planned jointly by Geneva and Waterloo. Conferences have been held on the matter by officials of the two towns. One of the first steps will be the Improvement of the scenic high way along the foot of Seneca Lake from Geneva to the outlet bridge, and the betterment of municipal bathing facilities along the shore. “The road now is fax too narrow,” Mayor R. A. Cntchpole of Geneva stated, “for the safe passage of any great amount of traffic, which since the opening of the Finger Lake9 Re gion, has so materially Increased.” It is planned to widen the highway and make it one of the most beautiful in* the country. It may be that a one way road will be constructed on both sides of a line of willows which now border the highway. Nursery men of Geneva have offered to donate trees and shrubbery to set out along tbe road. “I believe that, if these plans mater ialize.” Mayor Cntchpole said. • this portion of the Finger Lakes Region will he more than ever appreciated.\ Plans to stop the pollution of the old canal running from 'Waterloo to Geneva are also being considered aud it is possible the canal will be filled iu and made into a park in certain sec tions.

Feb. 15.—Science has put the question of how advantageous it is to prune trees up to the trees themselves, and the answer Is that pruning young trees reduces produc tion, according to the orchard men at the State College of Agriculture here. In times past, say the specialists, it has been thought that pruning in creases grow-th and stimulates produc tion Before science took a hand iu ask.ng questions of the tree itself, pruning advice was largely handed down as tradition from the past According to experiments at the Col lege of Agriculture, pruning young trees dwarfs the tree and reduces the yield. Yet many do not understand why this decrease in growth and fruitful ness comes about. A close srudy of thp question by the Department of Pomology at Cornell shows that the change takes place as a result of de priving the tree of foliage In pruning away tlie branches l>uil« which would open into leavos are cut off. This, it may be •s-iid. is- like taking working units away fp-in a manufacturing plant, for i: i- j, the foliage that tlie crude minora,s ,,f ;i1(. soil nnd air tire manufac:ur>-d into nour shment for the trees jj when a limb is-cut from th> r-.-. r( ■. leaf surface is reduced :»i,. j ;he ability of the tree to nourish i’s, if retarded.
