AIb3s Stock Company viii Pro.
ducs The Prize Winning Play
In a Novel Contest.

Not content with giving the playgoing
public Of this city one of the most gem
timely entertaining forms of amusement
ever known to Providence in the form OF
a first class stock company. Manager
Lovenberg Of Keith's announces one or
the most novel innovations yet intro
duced. and one which will doubtless
create a furore among local aspirants 10
the playwrightng field. This will be a
prize play contest
During the past two years Manager
Lovenberg has been inundated with re-
quests from local writer's who have writ
ten plays and wish 10 have them given
public production by a first class pro-
fessional company. for IL is well-known
fact that a dTamatist's chief obstacle 10
fame is IN having his efforts produced,
not in writing them. Manager Loven-
berg now announces that he opens a con-
test which viii give Rhode Island writer's
an opportunity TO see their efforts re-
warded, and promises to give the best
play submitted TO him before May 20 a
first class production by the Albee Stock
company at keith's.
All scenery and other incidental details
necessary To fret class production Will
be furnished by the Keith management
In addition 20 this he will give the au-
thor of the play which he deems the best
submitted S2oO-a larger sum than is paid
for many big New York successes The
conditions 20 which contestants must con-
form are,
The play must be original and by a
resident Of Rhode Island. Manuscripts
must be typewriter on one side OF the
paper, and accompanied by sufficient
postage To insure return OF non-accepted
copies. Plays must be mailed TO Charles
Lovenberg, who viii be the judge of their
merits. before MAY ~. In the event or
no play which Manager Loyenberg deems
worthy Of the Albee companys efforts,
tho right is reserved To refuse all sub
miFted. This gives local writer's some-
thing TO work for. and the results are
awaited with interest.

MINE OWNERS
GALL WITNESSES
Introduce Testimony to
Rebut That Given by
the Strikers.
Professional Nurse Says the
Markle Company Cared
for It's Sick.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 26.-The atten-
tion of the Anthracite Coal Strike Com
mission was to-day directed to the claims
and charges of the independent operators,
the first case being that of G. B. Markle
& Co, whose collieries are located in and
about Jeddo, in the Lehigh region.
Ten witnesses for the company were ex-
amined, the more important being Sgd
ney Williams, general superintendent OF
the firm; Gertrude Martin, a professional
nurse in the employ of the company, and
Frank Walk, general storekeeper at
Jeddo.
Superintendent Williams testimony was
based upon the company's answer to the
miners demands. He was subjected to
a rigid cross-eXamination by Attorney
Darrow for the Miners Union, and was
compelled to admit that, although thir-
teen men were refused unemployment by
the company for alleged criminal acts
during the recent strike, he had no knowl-
edge that any one of them had ever been
guilty CT a criminal action.
Miss Martin was a good witness for the
company. She told of the efforts of Mr..
and Mrs. Markle to properly care for the
sick employees, and stated that where
cases of necessity were discovered pa
tients We're furnished with medicines and
nourishing food free of charge.
Frank Walk described the operations of
the credit" or company store system.
The prices of articles, he said, were about
the same as those charged by other deal
ers, but he admitted that none other than
employees of the company were given
credit. He stated also that after the COM
pany store system had been abolished and
he had resorted to the cash basis he lost
two-thirds of his customers.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
CLOSES UP UNIQUE THEATER
Michael Casey Interferes and Permits
Curtain to Rise at Half
past Eight.

The Unique Theater remained closed
last night until $50 clock and was only
able to open at that time after the man
agement had interceded with Michael
Casey. the president of the Board Of
Works, and had received from him a let
ter permitting the performances to con-
tinue
Trouble began last Saturday when the
Board Of Public Works prevented the
Tax Collector from issuing a permit for
performances in the house. On Sunday
permitted it to proceed with its perform
ance. Last night, however, Captain Spill
lane sent Sergeant John R. O'Connor and
two policemen to the theaIer and kept il
closed until $50 The management of the
theater, in a quandary, interceded with
Michael Casey and he sent a letter to
Captain Spillane requesting that the
theater be allowed to continue its per-
formances for the present and in ac-
cordance with Caseys letter Captain Spill
lane withdrew his men and the curtain
went up.
The reason that the Board of Works
has taken the steps to close the place is
that they consider the Unique Theater
has not complied with the fire ordinance
in regard to exits. There is no rear exit
in case of fire and the front entrance is
the only means of egress from the theater.
