The sale of the Burtis 0. H. and the Cor- nell at Auburn, both part of the Burtis Estate, is now announced for Sept. 25. "The Dlx, DIx, Dixie Boys from DIx," the Camp Dlx minstrel organization. Is now tour- ing New York up-state cities. The show was In Binghamton on Friday and at Johnson City -on Saturday.. The tour will continue until Sept. 29. The cast is drafted from the 11th Battalion at Dlx, and the proceeds go to the mess and recreation fund for over- seas. i A change of policy is announced by the Crescent at Ithaca. Starting Monday, the house will show the Paramount-Artcraft pro- gram exclusively. The Bastable is the first Syracuse bouse to have girl ushers. A local legitimate play- house just tried out a girl in the box office, but the experiment was evidently unsatisr factory. A. man is again passing out the tickets. About the poorest musical comedy to ever visit Syracuse was at the Bastable the last All In "one"—opens in audience, flnishee in audienca Cannot conflict with singers, dancers, trampo- Uners, musloers, gabbers or legits, but— Ob, bow they laugh: and No offense to anyone. I hare played every bouse on ereiy circuit in the United States of America and no man has ever accused me of uttering a blue line or ever using anything having the slightest suggestiveness. This is a reputation I will always hava I am a clean comic, and always will be. ' At Baltimore this week our trunks failed to arrive, so we went on In street clothes—no make- up—and got 16S laughs. Mr. Shamberger was so pleased at the way we went be has booked us back after the war, so we expect to play here again Xmas week. . I thank Irving and Joe Cooper for splendid offer. Isn't it always the way! "To him who hath, shall be given." An Audience Daisy grew out of a plant with a trampoline. Morris & Fell are the gardeners for Stan Stanley, Audienee Daisy, as pare as the flower. ^If, in the guise of "Mutt and JeS in the Woolly West." With the exception of W. B. -Browning, as Mi)tt, and Harty Healy, as Jeff, there’s not a trace of talent in the cast. While attending the Crescent in Syracuse, Mrs. Cllflord Foster of Fulton saw her son, Rudolph, receiving the Croix de Querre in a film pictorial. Manager Brown presented Mrs. Foster -with a sectloa of the film as a war souvenir. May Irwin gave. her film lecture on food conservatiop at the Clayton 0. H.' the latter part of the week, the proceeds going to the Red Cross. ■ The Lyceum, Ithaca, on Monday, showed “The Bird of Paradise." Its only other book- ing for the current week is "Business Before Pleasure," which 'showed Thursday. The Richardson, Oswego, bad these book- ings for the current week: Monday, "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath"; Tuesday, "Business Be- fore Pleasure”; Wednesday and Thursday, "Razzle Dazzle" (burlesaue) ; Saturday, "Oh Lady, Lady." Attorney John A. Tolishus, of Syracuse, former office manager for the law firm of Bond & Schoeneck, the members of which are former District Attorney George H. Bond and Lieut.-Qov. Edward' Schoeneck, was sentenced to serve 16 months in the Maryland State Penitentiary at Baltimore and to pay a fine of $100 followlhg bis plea of guilty to a sedition indictment in Federal Court at Au- burn last week. There were three Qrand Jury Investigations and Owner William Cahill of. the Temple and Crescent theatres here, was foreman of the jury. Counsel for ToUsbus charged that the case was a political case and sought to have the trial postponed until after the November election. An epidemic of Spanish influenza among the 10,000 limited service men stationed at Camp Syracuse has cut the attendance of men in uni- form at local theatres. Close to 600 cases are reported. A controversy is now raging here as the result of an efiort being made by certain Syracusans to make the local camp permanent. The camp Is scheduled to close in November, but it is understood that if tbe state will per- mit the use of tbe state fair plant as barracks.

Those opposed to the permanent camp charge the supporters are actuated by "dollar patriotism"—that they want the gamp retained eolely for the trade it means and that they have no regard for the effect of the severe winter weather on the soldiers who may be stationed here. 'While the theatre interests here stand to have in- creased patronage if the camp Is continued throughout the winter, it is signlflcant that they have no representatives working for the extension.
