Fourteen Captains OfAtlantic
Fleet to Be Sent to Shore
Duty Before Pacific Cruise.

NEW YORK. Sept. 3.-The biggest shake
up in the history of the line Of the United
| States navy is now in process Of arrange
ment by the Secretary of the Navy, who
has the appreciation of President Roosevelt
in the plan as outlined.
OF the officers now commanding the
eighteen battleships to make the long voy-
age from the Atlantic to the Pacific, it Is
declared that only four captains now COM
manding ships will make the trip.
The President and Secretary of the Navy
nave agreed to forward the long desired
plan of advancing young men to the fight
ing line and send their elders to shore
duty. and of the eighteen captains who
will command and be responsible for the
800. 900, 900 worth of armament and equip
ment to be sent through the Straits Of
! Magellan to the Pacific, fourteen will be
younger men than those now in m
AS the plan now stands, it is said, the
following captains will hold their ships
and make the trip: Potter, Of the Yer
mont; Vreeland. Of the Kansas; Osterhaus.
of the Connecticut, and Wainwright, of
the Louisiana.
Among naval officers OF high rank it
was said yesterday that Captain McCrea,
commanding the Georgia. might also be
kept in his command. making five of the
present captains to stay aboard ship for
this cruise. But his date OF retirement is
1918, only six years hence, and 1t is said
that his case is in doubt.
Under the plans as outlined, the cap
tains who will be sent ashore TO make
room for younger officers of the same rank
sre Seaton Schroeder, of the Virginia
William w. KimbalI, of the New Jersey;
]. B. Murdoch, of the Rhode Island; Sam
uel p. Comfy. of the Alabama; Gottfried
Blockllnger, of the Illinois; Herbert Wins
low. OF the Kearsarge; Edward 2. Barry,
Of the Kentucky; Lewis c. Heilner. of the
Ohio; Giles b. HARDER, of the Maine; John
Hubbard, of the Minneapolis, G. A. Mer-
riam, Of the Missouri, and. probably the
captains. Albert G. Berry and T~heodoreic
Porter, of the armored cruisers Tennessee
and Washington.
The intention of the Navy Department
to relegate the older captains to the rear
and put the younger ones in command of
the battleships of the fleet became known
through an official communication to the
first of the captains to prepare for duty
ashore. This communication was put dell
cateIy, even with Kindness. 1t informed
the particular captain that his relief from
sea duty at this time was tin no way a
criticism by the. department on his capacity
as the commander of a ffrst-class battle
ship OF the United States navy.

shubert-aAdyanced vaudevIlIe.n

IF this is advanced vaudeville, let's
have more of it, seemed to be the opin-
ion of the holiday audiences that crowded
the Shubert Theatre twice yesterday to
OVERLOOKING. 1t was Newark's first taste
of the Klaw & Erlanger article, and New
ark liked it. There were one or two num-
bers on the program whose advance
ment'' was not obvious, but these were
easily forgotten in the excellence of the
others.
Joe WEIGH was the headliner, and justi-
fed his position. Laughter was the watch
word all the time he was in sight, which
was not long enough to suit an audience
which could not seem TO get enough of
him and his quantity comical Hebrew
songs and jokes.
Another number that made the people sit
up was the Military Girls. Their dancing
was a pleasure and all of them were pretty
of face and musical of voice. They were
assisted by George O'Malley, who, as the
frog, went through some amusing Fred
Stone motions of loose-jointed dancing.
Edward Blondell made a separate laugh
ing hit in a condensed version of 1.-THE
Lost Boy" Some very daring acrobatics
were contributed by the Four Bards. In
one or two of the quartet's hazardous feats
the audience seemed to feel anxiety for
the safety of their .necks.
All Ling 500 and his tricks of magic
were Il bit out of place in the advanced

IN THE THEATRES
EMMA CARUS'S SUCCESS IN
"45 MINUTES"
Big Holiday Crowds Attend Inaugural
Performances at Newark and shu-
bert-"Advanced Vaudeville"

The entertaining qualities Of George NJ.
Cohan's "Forty-ive Minutes From Broad
way with its clever combination of farce,
melodrama and music, nave so frequently
been set forth In these columns hat no
repetition is necessary at this time. Let 1t
be said, however, that the passage of time
has no whit impaired Its amusing proper
ties. The piece is now in its third season
and the present is its second visit to New
ark. When it was here before the plump
and joysome Fay Templeton headed the
cast in the role of Just Plain Mary and
Victor Moore, as Kid Burns, was making
the hit that was to lead to his assuming
stellar honors this season In another Co
han production.
1t is difficult, then. to say anything
higher IN the praise of the present produce
ton of "Forty-fve Minutes From Broad
way than that 1t is quite as enjoyable as
the preceding. Such was the fact. Miss
Emma Carus. in Miss Templeton's role, and
J. Scott Welsh in Mr.. Moore's acquitted
themselves to the Enthusiastically genuine de-
light of a holiday audience that was as
quick in discernment of a good thing well
done ms 1t was large in numbers.
Miss Carus has done many good and
pleasing things in the course of her career
on the musical comedy stage, but never
anything so good as her plain Mary"
for she has never had so much of an OPP
portunity. The identity of this deliciously
demure and llkable young serving maid
of Mr.. Cohan's creation. with the speci-
mems of the genus to be found in real life.
may be doubted by many persons whose
experiences have furnished the comic
weekly j~okesmiths with one of their most
stable reliances. but the engaging and
winsome personality of the stage creation
no one. even in the interests of realism,
would wish to see changed. Miss Carus
made the most of her. She was prettier
and daintier than a whole gallery of pic
lures in her fetching cap and apron, and
the fearful note that heightened the hui
morous quality of her representation was
most effectively given. Hers was a
charming bit of comedy work in every
particular, and no less pleasing was her
singing of the familiar Mary Is a Grand
Old Name" and so Long. Mary" These
were so sweetly rendered that the demands
for repetition were clamorous.
Success, second only to that of Miss
Carus. was scored by j. Scott Welsh in
the role of Kid Burns. Mr.. Welsh utilized
a part rich in possibilities of arousing
laughter to excellent advantage in every
slqngy line, and he never overshot the
mark.
Among the others whose work contribut-
ed to the audiences pleasure were Miss
Claire Grenville, as the domineering
mother of the millionaire's prospective
bride; Miss Frances Gordon, in the part
of the last mentioned; John j. Clark, as
the young millionaire; James II. Manning.
as the villain, and Edwin Walter. The
bucolic chorus of suburbanites was anus
Ing as usual and the staging of the piece
as well done as in any of the previous
productions.

U IN WAR.
Theatrical Fight in Pittsburg Not Re
sumed Yesterday. as Expected.

P~ITTSBURG, Sept. IA truce was ar
ranged in the theatrical war in this city
yesterday, when the hearing on an injunc-
ton against Klaw & Erlanger by Harry
Davis, of the Harry Davis enterprises, was
taken up in Common Pleas Court No. 4.
Davis had asked for a restraining order
against the theatrical firm to prevent them
booking attractions in this city for any
other theatre but the Nixon and Empire.
Mr.. Davis sought to have the Duquesne
Theatre closed on the grounds that 1t was
being operated by Klaw & Erlanger when
he had a contract with them which would
prevent them booking attractions there for
some time to come.
Counsel for Klaw & Erlanger claimed
the booking was done by the United States
Amusement Company and claimed this firm
was distinct from the defendant firm.
Counsel announced that Klaw Sc Erlanger
would appear In court If time was given.
The complaint will now come before the
court for trial and fifteen days were
granted for preparation of the case.

PROCTOR. rheatre-vnuderllle.

With James ]. Corbett, former heavy
weight champion pugilist OF the world,
appearing in an entertaining mono
logue, and min other acts of unusual
merit, the bill at Proctor's Theatr this
week should prove a magnet for large
audiences. Corbett, not the coarse and
gnarled type one would picture a cham
pion fighter, but "Gentlman JIM" suave
of tongue and highly entertaining in
speech, does not figure on the program,
having been hurriedly engaged last
Saturday, but he is the champion en-
~tertainer of the entire attraction.
Unlike other men famous in the
sporting world, who take to the stage
more because of their fighting promi-
nence than theatrical ability, Corbett
is an actor. as well as a pugilist. And
the best part of his work behind the
footlights is the act that he always
comes around with a new collection of
humorous He related anus
ing incidents of his career before and
after his fighting days, all of which
brought forth round of applause from
the appreciative audience.
The Fetching Brothers appeared in
a novel musical act. Their background
was a garden of flowers and all the in
struments used were in the form of
plants. Harry S. Sheldon and Com
pany scored a hit in a skit, Aunt Be-
delia's Furniture and the Harry Tate
Company furnished hilarious humor in
their sketch, Motoring" which vas
first introduced here last season.
Other contributions to the entertain
ment were Byers and Hermann, comic
acrobats; Tom Moore. coon song artist;
Katie Rooney, coincidence; the Murray
Sisters, a negro troop in songs and
dances, and AL. Rayno and his trained
dogs. Views taken on an arctic eXpe-
dition are the features of the moving
pictures.

rlectrlc Park-vnudeyiIle.

The Indictment weather had little effect
on the attendance at Electric Park yester-
dav and last night. An exceedingly good
entertainment was offered at the Rustic
Theatre. The topliners, the Cycling Coggs-
wells. are the champions of the unicycle
and present a novel comedy act. Gardner,
West and Sunshine have a comedy sketch
with singing and dancing. The only Cuban
pickaninny in vaudeville Is introduced.
Quigley and Mack. the original Man and
a Half upheld their reputation as fun
makers in a k~nockabout act. Flaton and
Dunn were comedy acrobats who can also
sing and dance we'll. The great Haywood
was a clever entertainer. His specially
was his novel change act. He is also a
versatible singer. with a range from tenor,
and baritone to soprano and alto. Agnes
Bayless. the popular singing Coincidence,
concludes the bill.
The tableaux vivants in the Dunlap
electric fountain were especially artistic.
In addition to Mr.. Riley's appearance as
King Lear at the amateur performance
next FRIDAY night the management has
listed a large number of others who will
try for prizes.

COMMUNICATES Fatal Love-.

No doubt at all existed that the two
capacity audiences at the Columbia yes
terday were well pleased with the melo-
drama Her Fatal Love-" a four-act piece
by Lem B. Parker, which they saw en-
acted by a large and competent company,
AS a scenic production Her Fatal Love
keeps the ~stagehands busy, and as a melo-
drama Of life in the streets of Chicago 1t
keeps the audience well supplied with
thrills and laughs from curtain to cur
tain.
One of the particularly admired scenes
represented the top story of a skyscraper
In flames, and allowed of a daring life
saving stunt. This was but one of many
situations of a sensational and stirring
nature.
II any Of the capable company engaged
In the enactment of "Her Fatal Love
must be singled out for special mention it
should, perhaps, be the Misses Caroline
F. Cooke and Jessie Beall and Thomas L.
Brewer. There were several others of the
male performers who shared justly in the
audiences liking.

cellent business all the week at the Column

Sir Thomas and his guests had a I've

which caused the boat to heel danger

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Friends of
Walter Livingston Cutting, a promi-
nent society and club man, were
shocked to hear today that he had
committed suicide at Kittery Point,
Me-, yesterday afternoon.
Although it was reported he acct
dentally shot himself while cleaning a
gun, dispatches state that he shot him
self during a fit of temporary insanity.
Mr.. Cutting was a member of a
prominent Pittsfield, Mass, family.
He was thirty-five years Did and only
son of Col. Walter Cutting, who died
a month ago.

tiful grand opera "Cavalleria Rusti-
! cana and Gilbert and Sullivan's
"Pinafore," a comic opera OF the very
highest type, have little in common
The former from the first note sounded
by the orchestra seems to draw a great
threatening cloud over the stage witt
not even a silver lining as the action
progresses in an atmosphere of despair
and death. "Pinafore," on the other
hand, is the embodiment of all that Is
light, mirthful and gay.
Sombre, indeed, was the Interpretation of
the role of poor, unfortunate, excommuni-
Gated Santuzza by Miss Estelle Went
worth. With the powerful yet clear, sweet
tones of her splendid soprano always com
pletely subject to her will and her ability
to introduce such acting in her interpre-
tation as has never before been seen at the
Hilton playhouse, 1t is no wonder that
the a~ppreciative audience made the big
auditorium ring with their outbursts of APP
plause. Her support, too, was excellent.
William Xanten, a tenor with n voice
none too powerful but of sufficient range
and cleverly controlled, is an actor of no
mean ability and threw his whole strength
into the impersonation of Turridu, the
unfaithful lover of Santuzza.
AS Alto, Harry Luckstone was given
few opportunities TO permit his many
friends to hear his resonant baritone.
What little he did do, however, was suffi-
cient to mark him as a grand opera rather
han a comic opera singer. As the fair
enchantress Lola, Miss Gardner was at her
best apparently. Miss Marie Morgan, as
Lucia, the mother of Turridu, had but little
chance to display her ability. The rendi-
ton by the orchestra called for approval
on two occasions.
"Pinaforc.'' replete with melody, capped
by the familiar Dear Little Buttercup"
song, received warm approval. AS was the
case in "Cavalleria Rusticana," the cast
was better throughout than last year. and
deserves a great deal of credit for its
faithful endeavors.
Miss Hogan, as the bumboat girl, car
ried away the honors, Judging from her
