ParIette A Good Sneaker.

Last summer at the Lincoln, Kan
sas, Chautauqua, Ralph Parlette ap-
peared twice and after starting away
from the grounds he was rushed back
to face crowd Of perhaps five thous-
and who had gathered in for miles to
hear Sam Jones. But no one left,
though Mr.. Parlette had been heard
twice on that stage, and at the close
the verdict of the management was
that Parlette had turned disaster into
splendid success with his third lee
ture.
Mr.. Parlette will be at the Seelye
theatre, Dec. 5, as the second number
in the lecture coure.

values ranging all the way from $40
to s166.S2 per ton with the assurance
that the veins will increase in width
with additional depth. Even though
the veihs should not increase in
width with additional depth, up n
the completion of the preset plans
projected the Champion company
should, in comparatively short
time, be in a position to maintain
steady and large tonnage per day.
Particularly interesting to the peo-
pie Of this section is this company
because H. G. Doolittle, for a long
time resident here and who is we'll
and favorably known as business
man, is secretary, office manager and
in charge of the stock sales. So
impressed is he with the promise
Of this company that he has given
up all other business and all his
attention Is devoted to It, He Is
spending few days in this city in the
interest of the company and is per-
sonally placing what is termed by
stockholders, a limited number Of
shares Of stock at nominal price.
Thus offering to those Of his friends
who wish to see him while here an
exceptionally attractive proposition
to get in on the ground floor.
1t is an exceptional opportunity
for discerning investors, for the
company is placing through advertise
ing in the east 100000 shares at rs
cents share, that number Of shares
having been set aside for that pur-
pose. When that is exhausted the
advance to 80, 40 and 30 cents a share
will be made.
Investors who are interested are
giving the company's prospects and
plans for full investigation and are find
ing it exactly as represented. The
Bulletin, one Of the leading
mining authorities, in its current
ISSUE says; "The company's mines
ire operated under able management,
The entire proposition is backed by
strong businesslike and honest and
directorate. The Cham
pion company, with office at Kansas
City, Missouri, is destined to become
equally as great as its neighbors, the
oerigo, Gold Dirt and others. In any
went, with its immense area Of
mineral ground, its splendid equip
nent, its broad-gauge plan OF de-
combined with innumer
Ible other advantages, makes the

Mr.. Doolittle has rooms at the Gem

"Piff! PsfT! Pouf"-Gennett

B. C.. Whitneys gorgeous musical
production, 'Piff. Paff, Pouf,' direct
from its phenomenal run of eight
months at the New York Casino, will
be presented at the Gennett at an
early date. ''Piff, Paff, Pouf," has
been termed a musical cocktail, !"
which seems a BETTING description
The entertainment is bright, snappy
lively and Kaleidoscope, and is cal
culated to dispel the blues.
The story of "Piff, Paff, Pouf,"
concerns one August Melon who can
not touch two millions left him by
MS deceased wife, should he marry
before his four daughters have found
husbands. AS the gay widower cru
ises along the sands of Atlantic City
for wife, he meets the dashing wild
ow, Lillian Montague, whom he con-
siders his affinity Immediately they
begin laying plans to marry off the
four Melon girls. This situation leads
up to number of other amusing and
overwhelmingly funny complications.
Stanilaus STANCE is responsible for
the book, and VIM. Jerome and Jean
Schwartz for the lyrics and music.
There are more than twenty song
successes, the most prominent being

Little Johnny Jonee"-eennett.

1t is said of George NJ. Cohan, the
most prolific of writer's of musical
plays, that he has the membe OF his
company practically selected before
he starts to write piece and flames
up the characters to suit the individ-
uality of those destined TO play them.
Be this, as it may, certain it is that
Tom Lewis and Sam j. Ryan, who
play two of the important male parts
in Little Johnny Jones', which re-
turns to the Gennett for second en-
gagement next Wednesday night owe
much to the young author for having
achieved the greatest success of their
career.
Both Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Ryan have
been identified with many important
legitimate productions and before
identifying themselves with the Co
han and Harris forces were quite sue
cessful in vaudeville. Mr. Cohan knew
the capabilities of each and in Lit
tie Johnny Jones' undertook to pro-
vide each with a part that would give
him an opportunity to show how clev-
err an entertainer he could be, if given
a chance.
Mr. Ryan'S part, that of Timothy
MCGEE is not dissimilar from other
characters that he has played in
years gone by. but he has been pro
vided with better lines and figures in
funnier situations that's all.
Mr.. Lewis, The Unknown, pre-.
sents a character entirely unique; 1t
suits the actors personality to the
dot and while he has not many lines
for a character that has been so
much discussed by those who have
seen the play, it is what an actors
call exceedingly fat part. It is
characteristic of Mr.. Cohan that ev-
cry member of every company re-
hearsed by him and he rehearses all
his plays personally is given s<'me-
thing to do that will attract attention,
but their work is always within their
limitation.

"A Desperate Chance"-Gennett.
Theodore Kremer has been most
prolific in his melodramatic efforts,
but it is admitted by NOSE captious
critics, that his name which is syn
onymous with success, has never
been associated with more success
full play than he has created in "A

is not only a we'll written melodrama,
but it is said to be a marvel of COM
bined rapid action, stirring events,
charming love sentiment, beautiful
pathos and surprising emotional
qualities. 1t contains many powerful
and impressive incidents that cause
audiences to applaud and cheer with
spontaneous enthusiasm, while its
comedy is bright, fresh and clean.
The author, Theodore Kremer, has
taken the play from the incidents
suggested in the exciting lives of the
Biddle Brothers and in the course of
the play are witnessed several cpl
sodes that while not too highly color
ed, are still sensationally realistic
and filled with such breath-suspend
ing interest that one is naturally
thrilled by the wildly pictured rep
resentation. The story of the play
has attracted world wide reputa-
ton. The first act reveals the MUIR
der of the Pittsburg grocer by the
Biddle Brothers, their conviction and
sentence. The second act shows the
boys in Jail where they use their hyp-
notin tho war6pn'c wife

Hark From the Tombs.

Some harps have been discovered in
Egyptian tombs whose strings give
forth music of certain kind after a
silence of 5000 years.
That is long time for a musical
instrument to be holding canned music
stored I'D in it's insides waiting for
some one TO come and touch the but
ton and allow it to escape. And think
what a shock it would be on the deli
cate and high bred instrument if the
vandal hand that snatched it from its
resting place took it up and tore off
q few yards of ragtime.
1t seems wonderful, but there are
really greater possibilities in present
day music When our present civiliza-
ton shall have passed away and been
forgotten think what a surprise and
shock it will be to the savant who is
patiently digging in the remains of
Podunk when he digs up monograph
that has succeeded in lodging the raw
fishing hand of time and hears from its
chaste lips the marvellous account of
the hot time in the old town for the
first time.

"Behnd the Mask"-Gennett.

his latest work some very clever COM
edy as well as unique dramatic stu
ations. John Gresham, the man who
wears social mask, has two daugh-
tiers. one his own, the other adopted.
Ned Lattimer young civil engineer,
just arrived on the scene, is intro
duced to them, but in some manner
gets their relationship to his employ
er transposed, while those aware of
his mistake refrain from correcting
it. Later he falls in love with Nellie
Terrence, the adopted daughter, but
withholds an avowal, thinking she
is Maragret Gresham, between whom
and himself there is wide variance
of social position. He goes TO Miss
Gresham. thinking her Nellie Tor
renee. seeking consolation and en-
deavoring to learn the feelings of the
object of his devotion toward him,
but as both the ladies are agreed on
having little harmless fun his ev-
cry effort seems to widen the gulf.
Later Miss Terrence discovers that
she reciprocates Latimer's love and
wishes to set matters right but is
made to appear in a ridiculous light
by the other parties in the secret
Complications continue and it is only
through the Intervention of others
that Latimer learns the truth, starts
afresh and succeeds in his conquest.
