weather, however. asserted itself as an in

on several evenings put an emphatic veto
on the intentions of many people with ref
erence to theatrical diversion. The optimis-
tie contrast which might be drawn between
the attendance at 'Parsifal" and that OF

by either press agent or critic.

A BUSINESS-L1kE E. MISUNDERSTANDING
verbal exaggeration is as necessary to the
perception of the truth as microscopic en-
largement of subject for the eve of the
Investigator. For this reason, therefore,
it is pardonable to say of George Fuller
Golden, who is to be at Chases next week,
that he is the George Washington of the
vaudeville profession. In other words Mr..
Golden exercises an influence and command
over his brethren of the theatrical fold that
is both complete and unique. OF course 1t
is largely due to the fact that, N all mat
tiers affecting the interests of the whole
mass of professionals, he has labored for
the good of all with as much energy and
as much ability as if the result were to
profit him alone. He rallied the yaude-
vile profession around the banner of the
White Rats of America, and he was the
president of the association as long as he
chose to hold the office. All this, too, when
the Rats also included in their members hip
such distinguished dramatic lights as Nat
Goodwin, Wilton Lackaye, Maurice Barry
| more and others of equal distinction. The
difficulty which the order had with some
of the vaudeville managers was soon patch
ed up, and now it devotes all it's energy to
the social side of theatrical life. 1t was
Mr.. Golden, too, who revolutioniZed the
trans Atlantic liner custom of getting
American artists to take part in ship en-
tertainments whose entire proceeds were
devoted to the maintenance of dsa bled
English seamen and the widows and or
phans of sailors. Most of the Atlantic
steamships are operated under the British
flag Mr.. Golden insisted that a part of
the funds derived mostly from the efforts
of American artists, as they constitute the
great majority of theatrical travellers across
the Atlantic, should be paid into the Amer

was devoted to rigorous and thorough
training in every department of dramatic
art. including voice culture. gymnastics,
fencing and an all-round histrionic school
ing such as few players have undergone.
Her temperance was signalized by a trial
performance of Parthenia in ''Ingomar'' at
the Bijou Theater. New York. The young
classic actress won instant recognition from
the metropolitan critics. but her winning
of the public was slower and more arduous.
Not until few seasons ago did she desert
the heroines of Shakespeare and other clas-
sic writers for the creations of contem-
poraneouS playwrights. 1t should be added
that she has laid aside classical parts only
temporarily, and it is pleasing to announce
that the princess is now returning to her
own. When Charles Frohman induced e.
H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe to make an
artistic alliance in the bonds of Shake
speare he rendered a service of the greatest
value both to the theater and to the play
going public.

TWO HOBOES HELD
TO DISTRICT COURT
In the Sum Of $500 Each For
Burglary. Defaultiny on Bond
Were Committed to Jail.


Two hoboes, who gave their names
~ John Anderson and George Robert
son, entered the clothing department
Of Baker and Biggs store last Thursday
afternoon, one Of whom asked to look
at pair of overslls; the other one
taking advantage of the opp rtunity to
secrete four pairs Of trousers under his
overcoat while his pal was being waited
upon and with his booty walked de-
liberately out of the store.
The suspicious of H. s. Hall. who has
charge Of the clothing and furnishing
goods section at Baker & Biggs estab-
lishment, that the two men needed
watching resulted in their arrest and
their being held to the district court in
the sum of $500 each. In order to pro-
cure the overalls viii III had been asked
for was necessary to go to the rear of
the store and Mr.. Hall and Anderson
went back to look at them, Robertson
remaining in front. On glancing to-
peculiar movement on the part of
Robertson, who left the store half a
minute later.
Concluding that the overalls were
not what he wanted Anderson also left
the building and walked across Main
street where he Joined Robertson. who
had been waiting for him at the rear
of Swanson's livery stable. Being con-
vinced that the men had stolen some
thing. although he had but a vague
idea of what it was, Mr.. Hall watched
them until they reached River street
when he hunted up Marshal MacKen-
zie and informed him of what had
taken place.
Half an hour later the officer espied
two men in Rudd's grove, near the
river, who seemed to be changing their
clothes and suspecting they were the
guilty parties made an investigation
which resulted in their being taken in
to custody and in the discovery of four
pairs of new trousers, covered up with
leaves and rubbish, which were SUBJ
sequently identified as belonging to
Baher 4 Biggs.
The prisoners were lodged in the
calaboose until 10 O'Clock Saturday
morning when they were given pre-
liminary hearing before Justice Logan.
who remanded them to jail in default
OF bond in the sum of $500 each to
await the action Of the district court.
Anderson and Robertson are typical
hoboes and came here the day previous
to their arrest from Florence. They
both claim to have been employed un-
til recently in the steel works at Pueb-
10 but their statements in this respect
were accepted with liberal allowance
of salt.
