burlesaue." the title which the managers
OF the new playhouse, Youngson and st.
John, have been pleased to give 1t. 1t IS
better because the show Is really nothing
more nor less than merry old burlesque re-
iieved of much that goes to make most
burlesuue shows anything but an elevat
ing influence In a community.
Yesterdays was the first performance In
the cozy little playhouse In Orange street.
The auditorium seats about $50 people
comfortably. The stage, unfortunately Is
very small. and yesterdays show, with its
big chorus of pretty young women, taxed
1t : severely A careful handling of the
scenery and of the dancing numbers did
much to smooth out this defect, however
The lighting system appeared to be excel
lent Attractive retiring rooms for men
and women added to the appearance of
comfort. to provide which the manage
ment had left no stone unturned.
The efforts of the management to elmi-
nate anything of an Objectionable ma
ture from the performance met with sue
cess and their desire to build up a respect
able clientele will probably be realized.
The far-sized audience, in the afternoon,
and the big house, at night, appeared to
be pleased to find that drinks of any ma
ture. or, indeed, anything else, were not
to be sold At the matinee smoking was
also barred. If any one thing more than
another argued success along the lines
lald cut, it, was the liberal sprihkling or
well-dressed women, who gave final
touch Of refinement.
AS TO the show itself the Avenue Girls
are probably fair sample of what may
be expected among future entertainers at
this house. It was an excellent and clean
show throughout The principals were Of
average ability. Miss Libby Blondell. who,
1t would seem, carried off the honors. has
talent both as singer and an actress.
Miss Lorrain Dreux was also pleasingly
prominent.
''Tom. Dick and Harry" Is the name Of
the so-called musical concoction" that
enabled the play folks to do their turns.
Tom. Dick and Harry are three stranded
musicians, If the program can be relied
upon; but they look to be three hoboes on
a crusade John Hanson is Tom; Joseph
Emerson, Dick, and David Conroy, Harry.
The first is a bum, and a good one; the
second an Irishman, and the third a Dutch
man, and the three are a great combina-
ton for fun. The musical numbers were
numerous and tuneful.
Lovers Lane" sung by Miss Marion
Alexander and chorus, called for numerous
encores. as did the singing of classics
by Miss Blondeil, assisted by male
quartet seated in one Of the boxes The
costuming was far above what is usually
seen In such productions, and the scenic
effects were adequate. Daily matinees will
be given this week.
Between the acts yesterday special
feature was the excellent singing by Miss
Julia Lee, formerly soloist in the Kali
tenborn concerts in New York. Miss Lee
has a sweet and expressive voice, and her
rendering of Cupid and L and Love
Dreams was loudly applauded.

ARRESTED FOR BREACH
OF PROMISE TO MARRY.
Girl Says He Persistently Wooed Her,
and When Wedding Day Was
Fixed Backed Out.

TRENTON, Sept. 1O-Miss Annie Men
dry, of 2I1 Mulberry street has entered
suit in the Mercer Circuit Court for 5000
damages against Michael Mihlas, Of 22S
Breunig avenue. for breach of promise.
The SUIT was instituted by the plaintifs s
mother, Mrs. Johanna Mendry, as her next
friend.
The plaintiff AYERS In her declaration
that Mihlas promised to marry her on Feb
ruary IA last. and again in June reiterated
his promise. setting August l as the date
Of the wedding.
When the day arrived, however. Mihlas
weakened. and refused TO marry the plain
tiff, and has ever since continued his re-
fusal.
About a year ago Mihlas took up his resi-
dence with Mrs. Mendry, and almost i'm
mediately began TO make love to the plain
tiff. 1t is alleged. 1t was only after a con-
siderable time that she consented to wed
him, and then only upon his persistent and
oft-repeated avowals Of love.
Sheriff Wilbur arrested MihIas while he
was Mt work at the Trenton Fire Brick
Company, and committed him TO the coun.
ty Jail. Supreme Court Commissioner Ed
ward W. Evans fixed the defendants bail
at 5000. which he secured later in the day,
and was released

WHO WILL PENETRATE THE
DEPTHS OF "PURGATORY."
It's Not the Dantean Kind, but Only
Mysterious Cave in Massachusetts,.
Woman Tries 1t.

WORCESTER, Mass. Sept 10.-"Purga-
tory" a cave only few miles from this
city, many of whose mysterious by-paths
have yet to be explored, is now attracting
the attention of scientists all over New
England because of the failure Of Miss
Lucia S. Thompson, of Boston, we'll
known mountain climber, to. penetrate the
cavern Miss Thompson found herself IN
able to proceed much beyond the entrance
to the cavern, as it was ice bound.
No one mas yet had the courage to pene-
trate the furthest depths of the cave, and
such an attempt is admittedly fraught
with danger, for at its bottom Is an un-
explored subterranean lake or river,
There are scarcely three months in the
year in which 1t is possible to enter the
cave
Miss Annie Peck, whose teats of noun
tain climbing have given her fame, will
try to explore the cavern.

IN THE THEATRES
"THE HAM TREE" At THE
NEWARK SCORES.
Vaudeville at Shubert and Proctor's,
Opening of the New Auditorium
as a Burlesqne House.

The delights of ham and eggs and
roast turkey to a man with four
days unrestricted growth of appetite,
as pictured by James Mcintyre and T.
K. Heath. are a joyous thing to con-
template The audience at the Newark
Theatre found it so last night. Mr..
Mcintyre represented the manager OF
the minstrel show and the inveigler of
unsuspecting hostlers into the uncer-
tainties of Thespianism. Mr.. Heath
represented the inveigled. Together
they represented as large collection of
undiluted laughs as the Newark Theatre
has not often resounded to.
Act the first reveals the two famous
comrades in blackface in the throes of
a discussion as to the comparative adj
vantages OF a hostlership in remote
community at two dollars a week with
three meals day TO be confidently re-
lied upon. and the life of the footlights
with the three meals per contingent
upon the favor of an inconstant pub
lie The spectacle of the unwilling
hostler, Alexander Hambletonian, I'm
ally overcome by the seductive argu-
ments of the leader of the Georgia
minstrel troupe and committed to the
pursuit of fame and fortune upon the
stage, with highly coIored visions of
+NhN QA1dSdiCS VI NAdNCl anu nOlSi lllc
as the principal inducement, is only
surpassed in its laugh making proper
ties by the picture in the following
act of the outcome of their venture.
In this act the contrast between the ac-
Qualities of four days enforced alb
stinence from food and the necessity of
counting the ties home with the promises
held out In the antecedent period are
utilized by Mr.. Mcintyre for the funniest
scene in the whole piece. The third act
gives the pair a chance to restore them
selves to good fortune by impersonating
an Indian rajah and "rajine'' in the home
of an ambitious society woman, and the
linguistic difficulties encountered in the
task are again made productive Of un-
limited mirth
No sketch of the scheme Of the piece,
which is the fimsiest of burlesoue
hodge-podges. can give an idea of the
amount of fun with which Messrs. Nc
1ntyre and Heath invest 1t. To watch Mr..
McIntyres face, particularly In the mo-
ments Of dependency in the second act,
is alone worth the price OF admission"
and the two together are the most comical
team in their particular line of business,
Without them 1.-The Ham Tree" would be
sad affair indeed.
The daHcing and marching manoeuvres
which closed the first act exhibited a we'll
trained chorus TO excellent advantage. but,
outside of this and the contributions of the
two stars, the piece had little to commend
IT, George V Hobart is the author Of the
hook. and William Jerome and Jean
Schwartz wrote the lyrics and music
Mcintyre and Heath are really the whole
show however, and 1t Is most enjoyable
and relaxing performance whenever they
dominate 1t. AS this compasses almost the
entire period of action, "The Ham Tree
Is very large success, and there ought
to be enough people in Newark who like
to laugh to fill the theatre every night
this week.

the life of Mrs Frank Flynn, who lives

friend a terrific storm burst Waukhaw
Brook overfiowed Its banks and threatened
to carry the Flynn house away Mrs
Flynn hurried with her children to the
upper floor, and a crash told her the pig
pen had been washed against the kitchen
door. An occasional grunt also told her
that piggy was not drowned.
The storm quickly subsidized and Mrs
Flynn went downstairs. There was the
pig I'm her best room and she prepared
to drive 1t out, when with a little squea

Columbia-aconvict ooe.,

Convict $685." melodrama by John
oliver in four acts and thirteen scenes,
was voted a jolly good play and well
acted one by the audience at the Columbia
last night 1t was the sensational sort Of
play that Columbia patrons like, and it
will be many days before they get another
better suited to their taste in Its display
ofbpathos fun and villainy. The story is
one that has often been heard before, but
1t was dressed up in a new style and given
very elaborate scenic background. Al
times there was enough shooting to remind
one of the Fourth of July, but all this
added to the excitement
The story is of one Dick Thurston, who
is In love with Alice Bradstone. Marian
Lancaster is also in love with Dick. and
Blanche Page is in love with John Blais-
dell, who in turn is in love with Alice
Blaisdeii tries to show Alice and her
father that Dick is scoundrel. Being
frustrated in his first attempt he lays
more complicated but surer trap. Dick
is captain of a regiment and ball IS
given in the armory which his regiment
attends. During controversy between
blanche Page and Blaisdell Blanche is
killed in the alcove Of the dance hall OF
the regiment by a knife which had been
thrown away by Captain r'hurston. Blais-
dell forthwith accuses Dick of the murder.
Dick is tried ard sentenced to be electro
cuted in Sing Sing Prison. 1t turns out,
however, that when Blaisdell had killed
Blanche he had stepped on the bulb OF the
tanitor's camera. This caused an actual
picture of the event to he taken and finally
proved Dicks innocence. The latter's es-
cape from Sing Sing is highly sensational
feature.
During the performance Captain Kelly
and eleven zouaves go through an inter-
esting drill, and Mr.. Lang sings some
funny stories. George Whitaker makes
good Convict s99 and Elizabeth Rath-
bourne's portrayal of Alice was also good
