that of domestic servants. and certain

Special preparation for special work is
demanded In most tradesand every pro-

Thicago's newest theatrical enter

to become a permanent institution.
The new theater opened last Sunday
night. but the blizzard failed to dam
pen the ardor OF Jewish persons eager
TO see their native dramas. During the
week the attendance has been such as
to assure the maintenance OF the thea
ter during The fourteen weeks season
planned at the start. II is more than
probable that the theater will run AZ
weeks in the year with Yiddish plays.
Various attempts in the past to estab-
lish a permanent playhouse by the
Jews met with Indifferent success. pos
sibly because of the location OF the
theaters and the poor accommodations
offered patrons. New York supports
three Jewish theaters which operate ~
weeks in the year; there are W Yid-
dish playhogses in Philadelphia aud
others In each of the larger eastern
cities. Chicago. with a Jewish popula-
ton almost half as large as that Of
the same faith in New York, twice as
large as Philadelphia and many times
greater than the other cities, is now
expected to make the new Jewish the

cnIcAGo,s GREAT EVENT.

1t was with a feeling of no small
pride that Secretary Howard OF the
Washington Park club recently gave

not nominated for the big Washington
