Satisfaction was expressed by foot ball coaches J throughout the western conference tonight that the War department is strongly in favor of the continuation of inter-collegiate athletics and will encourage the playing I of the 1918 foot ball schedules instead of aban doning them. A. A. Stagg of the University of Chicago "announced he would start the practice season next Monday and that other, coaches in the "Big Ten" were planning on launching the prac tice season next week.' The University of Chicago schedule . will be ca'rried out as originally . planned, but Coach Stagg said it was probable that Minnesota and one or two other universities in the conference would be obliged to can cel one or two games which would "TCiuire long trips away from home. The meeting of the basket ball coaches of the "Big Ten," scheduled to be held here tomorrow to draft the 1918-19 schedules, was cancelled by L. J. Cooke of the University of Minnesota,'-secretary of the committee, today. , The meeting, however, probably will be held at a later date, m view of the War department an nouncement that intercollegiate ath letics would be encouraged.

WOEI Life has finally become tough for the mo tion picture actresses and actors. No longer can the publicity agent get by with the tales of the fabulous tor- tunes being laid by screen idols, for Uncle Sam is going to step on the pocketbook with his income tax next month. And now there is a great to do around the studios on the ques tion of photographs, for every star gets hundreds of requests each month for his or her phiz, bhall the com pany pay because the stars aver they wul be in the poor house it they have to foot the bill. Or mayhap the fan can no longer get nis lavorite star s face unless he encloses a check. It's things like these that must take all the joy out of life in these times of trouble. Carl Laemmle, presidenUof the Uni versal Film company and one of the giants in the motion picture business predicts a great change this year in the business in that he believes the day of the star is ' paatjmd that the production itself, standing on its own merits will obtain its place. This fall will see 'the issuing of many special productions, conceved and completed on a large scale and having in the cast many well-known actors. But the name of the actor will not carry the play on the other hand it is thought SESSUE HAYAKAWA I K And Hit Own Company M "HIS BIRTHRIGHT' B the play will make the name of the actor greater. The system .will work out that the exhibitor, who has been forced to run poorer pictures as a part of his pro irram in order to get stars will forsake the program bookings for the special productions if he belives he can ob tain enough fine plays to keep his house open. The result to the public will be that the local house manager has to offer his patrons a better run of plays, chosen on his judgment as a picture man and not as a part of a program built by a production con cern. Alice Brady, who is in "The Better Half" at the Rialto has just been made sponsor of the submarine chaser 19 of the United States Navy. As part of her message of acceptance Miss Brady brought "smokes" for the whole crew and promised a liberal repetition when tobacco got scarce again. The Lothrop theater announces that it has purchased a $7,000 pipe organ and this suburban playhouse makes another step forward toward down town ideas. Today there is being shown there one of the finest features of the year, a play that has seen very few of the smaller theaters, "Revela tion," with Mme. Nazimova in the leading role. Frank Campeau, who is the regular "villain" in Douglas Fairbanks' com pany, has organized a company of moving picture stars to go on a tour in behalf of war charities, playing in "The Virginian." Campeau was., the orginal "Trampas" in this play. The cast includes Dustin Farnum, Wini fred Kingston, George Faucett, Ruth Allen, Tully Marshall, and others and will tour from Los Angeles eastward to New York. Mary Miles Minter was the recip ient of a letter from a prison camp in Germany, in which an American admirer there stated that he and the other prisoners had been permitted to see one of her films that week. ITH tonight's performance in 'Camille" Sarah Bernhardt will close her week's engagement at the Orpheum. She is to be first on the bill, and the curtain is to rise sharply at 7:50. Many hundreds of people have been turned away; unable ot get seats during Bernhardt's en gagement. For next week comes one of the most charming of Amer ican comediennes, Marie Cahill. One of her numbers will be a medley of her song successes. She is in vau deville for only four weeks, after which she goes to New York to open in her musical comedy, "Just Around the Corner." which recently closed after 12 weeks in Chicago. fun-makers, are Harry Watson, jr., for six years the comedy mainstay of the Zeigfield follies, and Miss Betty Parker, one of the most beautiful comediennes on the stage today. James E. Cooper's "Sight-Seers" come to the Gayety theater this aft ernoon for a week's engagement dur ing which they will present William K. Wells' fun-laden vehicle, "Wait a Minute." Mr. Cooper has spent more money than ever in securing a high grade cast, a superior beauty chorus, specialties ad innovations, and scenic and costume attractiveness, of excep tional quality. Tomorrow's matinee (Sunday)'starts at 3:00. "Odds and Ends of 1917" will close at the Boyd theater with two per formances, matinee and evening. This unusual offering gives the theater goers a much desired element of orig inality. The action of the enter tainment from the first curtain to the last is entirely away from all tradi tion followed by musical comedies. Besides M. Norworth, chief among the "The Little Teacher" concludes its engagement at the Brandeis theater today, with two performances. This appealing comedy-drama is from the pen of the late Harry James Smith, and strikes a distinctly human note in its hold on our best emotions. Maude Fealy's visualization of the title role is a positive delight. In deed, there are many who think that as the little teacher she is perhaps at her very best. "Oh, Boy," the musical comedy that found such great favor here last season, will come to the Boyd theater for a return engagement of four nights and Wednesday matinee, com mencing Sunday evening, September-! 15. The special company for a lim ited tour includes Lavinia Winn, Harry M?yers, Theodora Warfield, Franklyn Graham, Helen Du Bois, Anna Little, James F. Fulton, Thomas C. Leary, James E. Rome, Billy Gould, Florence Smith, and Miriam Haeber. Some of its most popular musical numbers are "An Old-Fashioned Wife," "Rolled Into One," "Till the Clouds Roll By," "The First Day of May,' "Koo-la-Loo," and "Nesting Time in Flatbush." Patrons of the Empress today are given their final opportunity to see the Two Hickey Brothers, sensation al acrobats, comedians and singers, who provide real thrills interspersed with an abundance of comedy that calls for many laughs. Build Potash Refineries on Cherry County Lakes Two potash refining plants are in course of construction in Cherry county, one at Eli and the other at Merriman, both on the Northwest ern's Black Hills line. Cherry county is the center of the sandhill country of Nebraska and within its limits there are numerous small lakes that until recently, with the ranchers, have been looked upon as liabilities instead of assets. Re ports to the Northwestern offices here are to the effect that the water of practically all these lakes is rich in alkali salts, convertible into potash. It is said that ranches on which there are lakes and which a year ago sold at around $6 to $10 an acre have gone up and are now selling at fabulous prices. i 'mil iiiiiiiiiiii Wellington Pipes, 75c to $1.25 Wellington Pipes 2ds. 39c to . . . 65c Bakelite Cigar and Cigar ette Holders 25c to $1 Genuine Briar Pipes, im ported by us from France, for 50c REAL CALABASH PIPES Sterling Silver Bands Genuine Meerschaum Bowls, $1.50 $2.00 and $2.50 values $1.00 Wt Are Wholesale Distributors for i Te-Be-Ce 6c Cigars and the jj Famous Wellington Pipes. ? iiiliiMlinii:iiiii!iiiii:iiiiNliiiiiiiliililiniiiliiliilliliiliilniu AMUSEMENTS.
