CHICOT TO JOHN KERNELL:
GIVE US MORE NEW JOKES

acter for reproduction he has followc
too closely the accepted makeup He /.
familiar with various types and could
have made this a really important offer
ing.
Their best work comes at the finish OF
the sketch. when they indulge in a bur-
lesque "kosatska" with real chara ctsr.
istic music.
James and Bonnie Farley have a
speciality in which Farley plays a
familiar messenger boy with acrobatic
trimmings. Miss Farley appears first as
small child. and later in long skirts
makes a far better appearance. She
possesses a bright face with plenty of
, expression. but she is several pounds
overweight when she endeavors to por-
tray small child. She should wear her
second costume throt ghout the piece, no
matter II she does imagine that she Is
exceptionally well fitted to the repre-
sentation of Juvenile types.
The sketch is a medley OF several other
sketch ofterengs and employs a number
of ttme-worn comedy devices, There Is
the cigarette which turns out to be n
piece of fireworks and many other bits OF
equal antiquity. Practically nothing Is
new.
The Sanford Sisters indulge in a mu-
steal performance, except when they
sing. Some one who mas the Sanford
interests close at heart should break IL
gently to the sisters that tlelr singing Is
not altogether good. They probably

force the audience to share their Sor-
row. They play some instruments very
we'll, but should cut out the instrument
resembling the fiageolet, and incident
ally they might pick up a better class
OF music.
Antrim and Peters work as a sketch
to keep the audience from realizing that
Harry Peters is actually performing an
fashion OF introducing instrumental and
animal imita tons AS an example. the
scene Is restaurant; he - served with
eggs: and breaks one into cup. Pre-
tending that the egg is none too fresh.

cialty with my next imitation" but
they should seek to offer more of a
zketch.
Allen and Delmain have one OF those
almost forgotten offerings the old-time
actors used to speak of as a society
sl1it." Their songs are so old that the
music paper on which they are written
Is black with age, and their humor Is
found In the fact that the man comes
home drunk and has trouble with ais
wife.
There are quite a number of other
spectalties by HALEY and Meehan, Ham

Charles and Fannie Van. Lawrence and
Sylvester and the American Vitagraph.

Lawyer Louis ]. Grant, counsel for
Mrs. Caroline l.. Jewell. the wife OF Col.
James A. Jewell a United States APP
praiser with n salary of $500 year.
applied to Justice Scott in the Supreme
Court to-day for $3.50 n month temporary
alimony and a counsel fee OF $3.50 pend
ing the trial of an action for an abso-
lutte divorce brought by Jewell against
Mrs. Jewell and her counter-suit against
him. in which she names several CO.
respondents.
Lawyer Clossen opposed the motion
and asked that the case he sent to a
referee. alleging that Lawyer Grant had
already entered into a stipulation to
that effect. Grant. he said. had agreed
to reference on condition that his
client should receive $3.50 month ali
mony and that he receive a counsel fee
Of 500. which had been paid him.
Lawyer Grant said this motion was to
Increase the alimony and also counsel
fee, as the agreement for a reference
was only conditional and the conduct
OF Col. Jewell had been such that Mrs.
Jewell wished trial in open court.
so that her character might be pub
licly vindlcated. Grant said that Col.
Jewell deserted his wife on the pre-
tense that he was going away on a
business trip. whereas he really went
away with q servant.
Il was personally willing that the
case should be tried by a referee" said
Grant, but expressly stated that such
a trial could only be had with the con-
sent OF Mrs. Jewell. Immediately after
ward co.. Jewell went TO Laconia
where his wife was staying, and made
unfounded charges against her. They
came to her ears and she then positively
refused to consent to referee and de-
manded that the case be tried in open
court
Inasmsoh as this would entail extra
received by Mrs. Jewell was not in pro-
portion to his salary and income, Grant
asked that Il be Increased.

amount of alimony and counsel rec 10

"Parva sed apta"-Small but fit.
Such are Sunday World Want Adver-
tisements. Every day, every week, every
month and year after year they perform
their part OF the complex life of great
city.
To-day one will announce household
goods for sale at sacrifice. This is a
brief story of some ones misfortune.
Another announces that an interest in
some commercial concern Is sought by
an investor. This is brief story Of
prosperity.
One wants to buy.
Another wants to sell.
One has needs.
Another has supplies.

Nothing 80 pleases an audiences as
a little guying between the performer
