IMPERIAL THEATRE,

Jane. Johnstone Bennet's great
laughing success. is tho attraction at the
Imperial theatre the present week. Mr.
Williams and his company certainly made
a happy selection. though that is not
anything unusual for thess. in selecting
this very funny production.
Tho story has enough plot TO keep the
interest bf the audience and the laughs
are numerous and constant. IL is a play
OF but few important characters. but those
characters are full Of vigorous fun and
there Is something doing every minute.
Last evenings audience was about as
well pleased a one as ever gathered IN
this popular theatre.
The plot turns on the career Of a young

result the rich young man strikes bar

his wife for few moments. This pretty
servant had been married the same morn
ing as the guardian arrived 10 the wards

There are complications galore, most of
which fall TO Regan Hughston 10 olsen
tangle. Mr.. Hughston does excellent
work in the portrayal Of this amusing
but quite difficult part OF the hard
pressed young man.
Mr.. Williams is Tipston, the leading
man servant, and his part, 100 is full
OF incident The part Is a lighter one
than MIR Williams generally essays. but
he certainly puts into IL all the energy
necessary TO keep tho audience in laugh
ing mood
Miss Reed takes the part OF Jane. She
finds ample scope in IL for her versatility
and cleverness. In this character she
certainly will add &c her, friends and ad-

SOME BETTING
On the Football Game INDUCED In at
Alliance. q

Never, perhaps. In the history Of
Alliance has there been q football
game out of town so we'll attended by
Alliance people as the Massillon- Can
tom game Of Thursday. Excitement
was at fever heat as the game pro-
gressed. and every move Of the play
ers was noted by telephone at the
Twentieth Century cigar store; where
a room filled to overhowing by the
anxious ones stood almost breathlessiy
awaiting the outcome. There was
hundreds OF dollars of Canton money
on hands, but no takers. Big odds-2
to 1-could be found. Somehow Cam
ton had the game won before It was
played-in the minds of our people.
Several side bets were made that no
touchdowns would be made by either
team. In all It Is stated that about
5000 was lost and won on this issue.
AS the game progressed and the
chances favored Canton, the 2 to I
changed, and to was offered. but
with no takers. The result was gen.
uine surprise, but gave general salts
faction to the sports who were unable
to attend the game. but took the next
best thing-telephone messages from
Massillcn as the game progressed.-Al-
