At the providence Opera house for the
first half of this week with matinee to-
morrow, Klaw & Erlanger present Nc
Intyre and Heath in the new musical
vaudeville "The Ham Tree" book by
George V. Hobart, lyrics and music by
William Jerome and Jean Schwartz,
staged by Herbert Gresham and Ned
Wayburn

the regular vaudeville circuit and are
generally accounted about the most cx-
quisitely funny negro team that walks
the present day stage. The talk about the
ham tree, the SweitZer swamp. the egg
pushes and all the rest OF the NJ q H..
nonsensical nonsense is somehow ire
sistibly funny when IL is being delivered
by Health. while McIntyre's lugubrious
narrative Of the train at the water tank
that not only didn't stop, but "didn't even
hesitate" has become a classl. OF low
comedy humor. A considerable part Of
one act of the Ham Tree" is devoted
to a reproduction OF the old vaudeville
sketch and with all it's splendid surround
ings Of girls and dancers and scenery and
costumes and colored lights, IL remains
the biggest feature OF the evenings en-

EMPIRE THEATRE

"McFadden's Flats" roaring comedy

end OF the "Chimmie Fadden" fame and
is filled with action throughout There is
not the least semblance OF a plot, but 1t Is
80 arranged In three acts as to be a great
laugh producer.
The gags, wit and humor are fresh and
as sprung by the strong company made
a great hit with the audience.
Several musical numbers of the popular
song order are inters persed through the
piece, all OF which were we'll rendered by
the principals and crurrv--Among tho
numbers that took the audience were
Mrs. OHarihan." my Sweet. Ny Irish
Daisy" Moonlight. why Don't You
Try" "The Songs Ny Mother Used TO
Sing" Mister Dooley," THE Sand Man.
The piece was well staged and the cos
tunes OF the chorus were very attractive.
The several ensembles and marches
were well executed.
The company is headed by the Speck
Brothers, Harry and Curtis, who as the
famous yellow Kids made one OF the
hits OF the show through their funny an
tics
Billy Barry. the Irish comedian, as Nc
Fadden had the audience with him
throughout the performance by his clever
work in that character.
The specialties introduced by Mary
Baker were we'll received.
The monologue OF Joseph Deming won
the full appreciation OF the audience. The
other members of the company were par
tcularly good in their portrayal OF the
different characters.
"McFadden's Flats" will be the attrac-
ton for the remainder OF the week, in

cander's calibre not 10 over-act role
of this kind; that he did not do so brought
him sincere admiration
lt was rather novelty 10 see two
such sterling actors as Tom Wise and
William II. Turner playing servant
roles. That they were not above them
is very much TO their credit and Is an
example OF how every role, no matter
how small, Is played I'm the Albee COM
pany. Mr.. Wise and Mr.. Turner were
probably cast in these roles in order that
they might be in the opening perform
ance and because there were no other
roles for them BY their intelligence and
ability they made these unimportant roles
stand out prominently.
Mr. Robert Turner, who this season APP
pears In the important position OF stage
director-a position he has well earned
played Barker with discretion, and Mr..
Hull and Mr.. Flemmings played their re-
spective roles In a clever. painstaking
manner that lived up to the rest OF the
very excellent performance.
II this Is a sample OF what the new AL
bee company is to offer during the sum-
mer. some genuine dramatic treats may be
expected.

Rev Dr. Robert Fulton Ccary

Poughkeepsie, ~. Y. May S.-Strife has
arisen I'm the Protestant Episcopal Church
OF the Holy Comforter i'm Poughkeepsie,
because the Rev. Mr.. II. Reginald VIII
-itetff-- insisted that-ttrcrr were slums IN
town. The younger members of the con-
gregation agreed with him and started on
an excursion into the realm where "the
other half lives" with their minds intent
on benehting all OF the human race along
the river front
The more conservative element, many
or whom had been peaceful and happy
under the care OF the rector, the Rev. Or.
Robert Fulton Crary. did not think that
Poughkeepsic church work required coll
lege settlements and guilds where men
could smoke and talk over industrial trou-
bles.
Several weeks OF seesawIng followed and
at last the rector sent a letter 20 the
young curate, who was then making a
tour OF the social betterment stations OF
the west, Informing him that his services
would no longer be required. lie said also
that he terminated the connection with
deep regret. adding: my present knowl-
edge OF your past career forbids further
trust" ON this issue the Rev. Mr.. Will
lams Is preparing to make a fight, the
echoes OF which will soon be heard
throughout the diocese OF New York.
The Rev. Dr Crary several hours after
a stirring debate with his assistant faint
ed away, and he has gone 10 Atlantic City
seeking relief from worry. For 40 OF his
more than 20 years he has served the
Church OF the Holy Comforter, aud his
pastorate WAS a peaceful and happy one
until the sociological curate raised ripples
on the placid stream of life in the parish.

Delightful series of Afternoon Hops

the Pleasure of the

Soon.

Manager Boyer of the Auditorium
announces that he will inaugurato
a series of matinee dances again this
season, similar to those that proved
so popular and enjoyable last season
This will be good news to the grear
number of children and members OF
the younger social set who found
much pleasure in those admirably
conducted matinee hops of last sea
son.
The first of the coming matinee
dances VIII be given on Saturday af.
ternoon December lst. The doors will
be open promptly at three O'CLOCK
and the music will begin at three

These dances given more especial
ly for the benefit of the little folks
and their parents will be conducted
under the personal direction of Man
ager Boyer and he expects to see that

are satisfactory to all the guests.
No doubt there will be large at

Why Do Young People Wear Glasses?


The principal reasons are, that the
eye is now more perfectly understood
and people are becoming more en-
lightened regarding this most deli-
cate and complex organ The equi-
librbium of the whole nervous sys-
tenn is disturbed when the eyes are
strained, and it is positively known
that the mental capacity is greatly in
creased when such strain is relieved
by PROPERLY fitted glasses.
Frequently nervous and sick head
aches. which are attributed to other
causes. are due to eye-strain. Eyes
sometimes seem perfect when they
are not, as the accommodation may
continue vigorous enough for a while
20 overcome the defect by severe ex-
ertion and thus conceal the necessity
of glasses. Many school children,
who are thought duh and stupid, suf-
fer from defective vision. but become
the brightest of scholars when the de-
feet is corrected. Eyes. young and
old should be frequently examined.
