Mr. Park arri d from Esopus at 45
o'clock last vening and was met at the foot
of West Forty-second s treet by District
Attorney jerome. They and their rcspec
tive secretaries Mr.. McCausland and Mr.
Holder drove to the City Club for dinner
At SIS O'Clock they took carriage for the
Jewish Theatre.
Grand street, all day agog with eS-
pectancy, was grand indeed. Inspector
Sohmittberger was about with Capt Flood
Of the Eldridge street station, six SER
geants and 200 policemen. They strung
lines in Grand street from the Bowery to
Fldridg e street to keep the crowd OF 5000
people in order. Street cars were blocked
and there was much jamming on the side
walks When the Judges carriage came
in sight. at least sl1 worth of red fire was
burned along the curb, the gladstone cheers
rang out and the cops got busy with their
shoulders.
Twenty proud policemen formed an i'm
pre- enable lane from the curb to the theatre
entrance. Judge Parker and his compan-
ions diIembarked and went in, preceded by
Inspector Schmittberger and Capt. Flood.
They were greeted in the lobby by Leader
Florrie Sullivan of the Eighth and his re-
crption committee, and led through the
acked alises to the left stage box.
Jacob Adler and his company were giving
King Lear" but they knew of the impend-
ing event, and as the first cheer (rather
mild came from part of the audience OF
1000 people the actors stopped to give
the Presidential candidate chance. The
cheering grew until it was of satisfactory
PROPORTIONS, lasted three minutes and then
quit
There were cheers for the Judge and
the Twelfth, for Hamburger Of the Tenth.
for Borough President Ahearn. for Senator
Fitzgerald for Congressman Goldfogle
and. very loud and determined. for William
Travers Jerome All these sat In the Parker
box. Then came noises for Sheriff Erlanes
ex- Assemblyman Isidor Cohen and As
senbIvman Siegelstein, who sat in the box
behind Someone cheered also for Moe
Levy.
Judge Parker rose and bowe to the audi
nnce the players bowed to him. he bowed
TO the players the applause ceased and
King Lear" went on its tragic way.
At the end of the first act there was more
cheering for Judge Parker, and all the folks
who could get near the box tried to shake
the candidates. hand. Charley White. who
had the entree, performed the feat more
gracefully than any one else.
It's a great night for the Ghetto" said
Charley Never before has candidate for
President honored a Jewish theatre with his
presence. Low was down here last time he
ran, but"
The Duke of Essex street ana Alderman
Took, who wore a very nifty green tie with
his evening clothes. said it was all fine
The Hon. Bill Sulzer, who went right into
the box and was welcomed, came out BEAM
ing and got cheer for himself.
Judge Parker seemed interested in the
second act of the performance, Yiddish
play called die Wahrheit," in which there
we're so many splashes Of English that the
trend was easy. He laughed heartily and
applauded at the end. Once, when he was
stumped by a comic speech at which the
audience laughed very loudly, he asked Mr.,
Jerome what it was. Mr. Jerome asked
Florrie Sullivan, who asked President
Ahearn, who asked Congressman Gold
foge Then they all found out.
The Judge left after this act and there
was crush at the door. He walked across
Grand street, surrounded by a turbulent
throng, and entered Lorber's, where the
feast was spread. The proprietor had
reiraned from setting the table in Cupid's
corner, famous as an East Side match
making place.
At the candidates rlht sat Jacob Adler
and Junn F. Ahearn and at his left were
District Attorney jerome and David Kess-
Ter, the second actor OF the company. Con-
gresham Goldfogle was present until
he was callen back to the Grann to make a
political speech at a meeting which followed
rhcplay. charlie White was placed opposite
,hc Judge and the Bald Eagle of the p. r.
saw that the other great men had plenty Of
celery.
About Ave hundred people were at the
door when the Judge came out to go toh
hotel and he warned the driver not to ruin
anv If them down. He heard more cheers
as he drove away with Mr.. Jerome. He
retired as soon as he reached the Seville.
Why the candidate made his little journey
to tina Fast Side was somewhat hazy last
night, but the general explanation was
that Mr.. Jerome had often told Judge
Parker about the six Yiddish theatres
Of the town and OF the excellent acting OF
Jacob Adler. They at last arranged the
,hearte party, assisted by Editor Gunsberg
Of the East Side Iii e, who knows Mr.. Jerome
very well.
Tho proposition Of pleasing some of the
district leaders at the same time fitted in
