Edward Reanolds as Uncle Sam was much appreciated in his little solo. supported by the "little chorus." Jack Westlake, another soloist, was in an attractive Jack Frost while Arthur Franke was the Santa Claus of the evening. Mathilda Neushaefer received much applause as the soloist of the evening. Last night's entertainment reflects with credit the work which Mrs.

A. Loderhose has done to make the affair a success. For some time she has been training over forty children, who took part in last night's production. Others on the entertainment committee were Mrs. J.

E. Wyren and Mrs. J. D. Van Wickle.

All Souls Entertains Children. All Souls Church feted the little ones last night in a Christmas playlet of merit, enacted by the Sunday School children in quaint and attractive costume. The stage waS a gay center of Christmas decoration and festive fixings, with a huge Christmas tree to one side of the stage. "The Greatest Gift." starring Miss Mildred Phillips las Santa Claus, was presented under the supervision of James Toppin. superintendent of the Sunday School.

The little folks were delighted with the entertainment, in which various heroes and heroines appeared in the dress of the different periods of our national history. The cast included the following children: Geraldine Cushman. Clara Heister, Newcome Hill. Gladys Locks, Stanley Tebbetts, Gertrude Bunsen. Madeline Merritt, Leslie Bright.

Margaret Wilkinson, Ethel Anderson, Edwin Martin, KathTerine Reed. Herbert Darbee and Carolyn Reufer.

Ruth Benedict and Willard Wright won much hearty applause from the audience on the conclusion of their sixty- second speeches. Eighteen little girls as Christmas Snowfakes pleased with their songs and dances. Miss Enid Hawkins told a story, in a very effective manner, after which the children sang another Christmas carol.

Willard Wright, Valerie Ford, Ruth Benedict, Alice Cowan, Mona Van Kirk, Jack Nelson, Carolyn Wortman, Ruth Reed, Clara Schar, Mary Hiscox, Robert Palen and Joan Carey. The success of the affair was due to the efforts of Mrs.

Elbert A. Bennett, who, owing to the absence of Mrs. Elmer E. O'Donald, the official chairman of the entertainment, directed the play and played the roll of Mrs. Santa Claus.

During the past year many small homes of this description were erected in the Pine Aire locality. HOME BUYING CONTINUES Jamaica Park Section Scene of Building Activity.

With the improvement imminent of Baisley Lake and the park land surrounding it, at Jamaica Park--In the southern part of Jamaica--a lively spring building movement is likely in that suburban section of Queens Borough. Forty dwellings, bought and occupied, are already there. Situated between Cedar Manor and Locust avenue stations of the Long Island Railroad, Jamaica Park is penetrated by New York avenue, a wide thoroughfare. It is part of the municipal plan to extend New York avenue from Cedar Manor to Locust avenue. Property owners throughout the section strongly favor it.

because it will strengthen the neighborhood terests of the three communities and enhance real estate values in a part of the city that is growing along the lines of least resistance. The trolley road from Fulton street, Jamaica, to Far Rockaway passes through Jamaica Park, and it is felt that a broad automobile highway such as the improvement of New York avenue would form is essential to proper growth and structural improvement. It is argued that the city would be more than compensated in increased to assessed valuations. The advantage the taxpayers would be equal to that of the city. Rapid transit into the 'heart of Jamaica has brought Jamaica Park, Cedar Manor and Locust avenue communities into closer contact with the central section, and this, too, hag made Jamaica Park and contiguous area of greater real estate importance.

"Three Great Opportunities for New York's Religious a a 1-lors TORRENS TITLE DECISION The Court of Appeals has just handed down A decision unanimously affirming a judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, which affirmed a final judgment and decree of registration of the Special Term in the Torrens registration action of Wauhope Lynn, plaintiff, against the City of New York, Impleaded with others, defendants.

This is the first decision rendered by the highest court of the State since the Torrens Land Title Registration Law was amended by Chapter 547 of the Laws of 1916, thus establishing the constitutionality of that law and settling the practice and procedure thereunder. The facts in this case present some novel features which will be of interest to every property owner. The voluminous record shows that in 1893 Wauhope Lynn, who has been EL Judge of the Municipal Court forl more than twenty years, purchased from the State of New York, through the Commissioners of the Land Office, three islands in Jamaica Bay near Rockaway Beach, known respective; ly as "Old Squaw Marsh," "Big Fishkill Marsh" and "Sailpoint Hassock. In order to cure all possible defects in and remove all clouds from his title, Judge Lynn brought action to his title under the Torrens Law. bert Ray Hawes represented the cessful plaintiff in this case.

shortage of trucks and the continued coldness of the weather which froze the slush 10 ice are the reasons given by the Borough Administration and the Street Cleaning Department for the ness with which the last fall of snow was removed from Brooklyn's streets. The snow, a fall of eight inches, came on December 12. It was not until Christmas Day that the local bureau of the Street Cleaning Department completed its share of the cleaning, and according to Deputy Commissioner Mauro, the B. R. T.

has not completed its work yet a and will not before late tomorrow. In the meantime complaints from citizens have been heard in many quarters. The Eagle received the following letter today: Editor Brooklyn Dally Eagle: Did the wheels of the Mitchel- Pounds government stop revolving on Novemher Why have not the streets of Brooklyn been cleaned of snow? I have never seen A worse collapse of the Street Cleaning Department than has been exhibited during the past three weeks. What is the "BROOKLYNITE. "It is obvious to anyone," declared Borough President Pounds in reply, "that the present situation has been fraught with unusual difflculties.

In the first place it has been difficult to obtain sufficient men and trucks. In the second, the storm itself was particularly bad. The snow and rain froze before there was an opportunity to remove it and the weather has been such that there has not been a thaw to give opportunity since. What snow and ice removed was done with great difficulty. Further, I want to say that the Pounds administration is doing business at Borough Hall and will continue to do business right up to its last hour.

T. has not completed its share yet. but will do so by the end of the week. The work, it is true, has been retarded by the shortage of labor and trucks and the character of the storm. It has been impossible to secure the required number of trucks.

While the contracts call for to a gang, it has been necessary get tenon along with one, two and three, and whereas the contracts call for ten laborers to a truck it has been necessary to do the best we could with one or two, and in some instances the drivers themselves have done the loading. "The trouble has been that most of the trueks are on Government contract work, and there is not the great army of unemployed this winter that there usually is to draw from for snow shovellers." 33 STARS ON THIS FLAG The Chateau du Pare.

T. is the principal one, was left without action by the Board of Estimate yesterday, the matter being laid on the table until such time as it may be taken up by the incoming Board of Estimate. The chief reason why the board failed to take definite action was that Commissioner Kracke of the Department of Plants and Structures, did not sign the agreement presented by the railroads. DR. CHAPMA NTO PREACH.

Useless City Department Horses Solve Ingersoll's HighPrice Problem. REPORT OF THE YEAR'S WORK. Curfew for the Youngsters, More Playgrounds, Streets Beautified With New Trees. Brooklyn has its own curfew squad.

It is part of Park Commissioner Raymond V. Ingersoll's staff. Its scene of activities is Prospect Park. During this year of 1917 some 140 boys girls under the tender age of were gathered in from their haunts the park after 10 o'clock at night and sent home. "Fifty-six young girls under years of age, in the park after in the company of men, were taken home and their parents notified." the way the Park Commissioner marizes the year's work of the curfew squad, in his annual report for year, submitted to Mayor Mitchel day.

-four boys under years of age were also taken home their parents notified." This is not the least of the "family troubles" of a Park Commissioner. For example, notice how Mr. Ingersoll solves the heating and eating proh. lems which arise in the Park Department: "Arrangements have been made meet the coal situation by substitution of oil heaters and small stoves for the large boilers in buildings where possible, and by the proper cutting up and storing at convenient points of all dead trees, and others requiring removal from city streets and parks," he states in his report. "A supply of meat for the Zoo, which.

of late, has been secured with difficulty and at exorbitant prices, now being provided by the slaughter of aged and useless horses, under the direction of the Health Department. The horses were secured by transfer from other departments." The draft and the recent municipal election are referred to by Mr. Ingersoll as reasons for the extension of the city's playgrounds. He says: "If there are any who doubt the importance of providing playgrounds in those sections of the borough where they do not now exist, such persons should be convinced by the large proportion of young men in our cities who were willing to enter the military service, but were rejected on physical grounds. "The much-discussed work, study and play plan for the public schools has seemed to hold out the first hope that this problem and the need for recreation facilities for children might be dealt with systematically and on a large scale, If that plan is to be given up, it is all the more important that every opportunity for securing further park playgrounds should be Mr.

Ingersoll urges the 'use of the center of Atlantic avenue beneath the elevated structure as a recreation place. He also urges the exchange of the property formerly used as a reservoir, near Highland Park. for property near Tompkins Park or Fulton Park. There is 110 need for additional park or playground land where the voir was situated, he said, but there is near the other two parks. Commissioner Ingersoll also urges the acquisition of land adjacent to the old Disciplinary Training School site at Eighteenth avenue and Forty -eighth street.

securing property assessed at $61,600, near the old school site, he states, a park area of three large city blocks would be secured. Skating Attendance, 1,372,193. The war has resulted in a slight falling off in the attendance at al centers and especially at the tennis courts in Prospect Park, the baseball diamonds at the Parade Grounds and at athletic fields, the report states. Skating is more popular than the band concerts in the parks. The attendance at the parks during the year when skating was in order was 1,372.193, the report states, while only 230,100 persons attended the band concerts.

Improvements in the housing and lighting facilities at the parks for the present skating season have been made, he adds. Mr. Ingersoll states that the opening of the new playground at Fort Greene Park is a notable achievement, as the entire improvement, with the exception of the retaining wall about the play space, was made by department forces without any special appropriation being made by the city. An improvement of the kind usually costs about $40.000 to the city, he adds. The work of beautifying the borough streets through tree planting is progressing satisfactorily, he states.

Of the 3,851 trees, planted for householders prior this year, only 125 have died, he states. Some 4,700 trees have been planted to date in this borough for householders. Many of the 125 trees were killed by automobiles, the report states. Autos seem to be just as destructive of trees as horses. The extra beavy traffic on the side roads along Eastern Parkway, because of subway work in the center of the road, has necessitated repairs costing more than $8,000 during the year, the report states.

Some 55,091 persons were instructed in garden work during the year, and of this number 3,632 children and adults attended regular garden classes. Among some of the notable events of the year in the Park Department, Mr. Ingersoll mentions the addition to Lincoln Terrace Park, the acquisition of Williamsburg Park and the Gerritsen Basin gift from A. T. White and F.

B. Pratt; the improvement of Prospect Park Plaza; a gift of trees for Fourth avenue from Mrs. William H. Childs: the preservation of the Lefferts Mansion, and the completion and unveiling of the Lafayette Monument as a memorial to Henry Harteau. RIVOLI OPENS ITS DOORS Mr.

Rothapfels beautiful new theater, the Rivoli, on Broadway, just above Forty-ninth street, opened its doors to a specially invited audience last night. Stars from the movie world twinkled merrily both on and off the screen and Colonel and Mrs. E. M. House were "among those present." The Rivoli is a sort of companion theater 10 Mr.

Rothapfel's other photoplay house, the Rialto, but is even more beautiful and up-to-date than that charming movie house. The effect of the new theater is one of Grecian dignity and simplicity and fulfils Snakespeare's conception of good taste, "neat but not gaudy." It is a valuable addition to New York's rapidly growing list of first-class motion picture theaters. The opening program is a most interesting and elaborate one. The featured player is Douglas Fairbanks in 'A Modern Musketeer," a photoplay that gives him a chance to do everything except bite furniture and dislocate his backbone. It is just one darned stunt after another.

Fred Stone himself would be put to it to equal the agile Douglas in this picture. The orchestra is of the same high quality as that at the Rialto. The principal soloist is Eugene Cowles, well remembered for his work with the Bostonian Opera Company years ago. There are also patriotic features which are presented by Mary Lawton, Forrest Robinson and many others. It is an excellent program.
