Snake. Charmers.
The Hazleton troupe of snake charm
ers. hypnotists and vaudeville perform
ers gave the last performance of a dis
astrous engagement at Anthracite park
yesterday afternoon.
A large audience. thoroughly repre-
sentative Of the wit. beauty and cul.
ture Of Carbondale. had assembled long
before the curtain went up. The over
ture was of the conventional variety
and merely q foretaste Of the Joys t.
come.
Act one opened on a drawing room
scene, with william Quintus Curtius
Quarles as the young and much abused
hero. There is much Of William to
abuse-about six feet nine inches OF
him, exclusive Of the altitude afforded
by his russet shoes and gobelin blue
socks. william formerly played with
Barne and poor success In Scranton.
The rude Carbondale lads had fun with
William in Act. l. After two We're out,
sweet girl named Schaub. made q
present of first base to Big Bill Massey.
The hero then entrusted low curve
ball to "Cherman Chorch," and the
wicked fellow Strengthened 1t for a
real, live. old-fashioned pound-of-to-
bacco home run.
The wicked Carbondalians killed off
the hero In Aot 3. Washington Irving
Patchen, the first man up. hit to the
woods for three bases. Big Bill fol-
lowed with cracking single, and
Chorch' Staltz sent another screamer
10 right, scoring both men. "Chorch''
stole second and came home on a BEAU
tiful double executed by the Carbon.
dale half Of the Weslake twins, Westv
came home on Sales single.
UP to this time the visiting troupe
mad scored but thrice. "Cholly" Childs
nad MS teeth loosened by a pitched ball
IN ACT ii, and walked to first as q re-
ward for being alive. He stole second
and came home on Ezekiel Moore's q
fungo single. In Act III, Cal Mcyey
got a base on balls, promptly stole
second and came home on Miss
Schaub's single. That sweet girl came
all the way home on Ma Meyers un-
premeditated and entirely accidental
single.
When the Hero was extinguished the
boy actor, Kid Jordan, took his place.
The Kid was successful in spots, but it
was owing In greater measure to his
good luck then to his skill that this
was thus. He executed skirt dances
with grace and aplomb. When ! made
this remark to Eddie Sales last night,
hot
life he was plum" Eddie proved the
truth Of his remark in Act VI. He
started Off the festivities with a lurid
single. Danny Shields was hit by the
desperate Jordan. Pete Anderson
soaked a single to left, Eddie coming
home. Wetzel made a neat bunt, scor-
ing Danny. This was our eighth and
last run, but 1t was enough.
The enemy brought their aggregate
up to four in Act vi, when Bobbo West
lake was hit by Anderson and came
all the way home on a wild throw.
With the score S-4 against them In
Act III. they resolved to do or die.
They did-die. Bobbo Westlake made a
single, Jake Moore followed suit.
Anggie Moran's double scored Bobbo
and Cal McVey's single sent Zeke and
Anggie across the plate, leaving the
score 81 in our favor. In Act TX
Soubrette Schaub, leading Juvenile.
Jimmy Graham and Ma Meyers made
their bows one after the other and the
show was over.
The performance Of the German
comedian in center was marvellous.
Little Wetzel, the child wonder, flelded
beautifully, and Old Man Patchen bat
ted and fielded himself into the flutter-
ing hearts Of every fair one present.
