VARIED MOTION PICTURE
BILL AT sHEPARD's

The Dieppe auto race, the particular
feature of the entertaining program at
Shepard's Arcade the last half of this
week, proved to be an immensely inter-
esting racing picture. Tonight occurs
the last presentations of this picture. Mr..
Grunewald added to his popularity by his
rendition Of the catchy ditty, you Splash
Me and / VIII Splash YOU" Miss Adele
Ritchie's song hit in Fascinating Flora. "
This number was illustrated for the first
time with colored pictures, especially made
for the Arcade by George J. Goldthorpe,
Of New York.
These pictures possess local interest,
being posed for by a party from Newark
while camping this summer at Midland
Beach. Miss Grace Plum, of 1875 Lack
awanna avenue, was the lucky young lady
to secure the prize awarded with the
views OF st. Patrick's School. This after
noon Franklin School is being shown with
the usual presentation of prizes.
Two programs are given each week at
S~hepard's-a complete change being made
Monday and Thursday. The two different

coHAN's "THE GOVERNORS
SON" AT THE SHUBERT.

The popularity of George M. Conan, the
yankee Doodle comedian seems TO i'm
sure a welcome for anything he manufac-
lures for the stage. 1t is, therefore. no
doubt. a welcome announcement to local
%playgoers that Mr.. Cohan's sketch, The
Governors Son. will be one of the star
offerings of advanced vaudeville" at the
Shubert Theatre next week. This sketch
was originally presented by the Four Co
hans and was afterward elaborated into
musical comedy by Mr.. Conan. Now the
author has again condensed the piece and
brought it up to date.
For the part in which Mr.. Cohan
originally appeared-the title role-Bobby
Barry has been engaged. Mr.. Barry has
appeared in several of Mr.. Cohan's famous
characters, and so closely has he watched
the original, and so well has he been
schooled. that he has been declared to be
the nearest approach to the Yankee
Doodle" comedian yet discovered.
AL SEean and company will present their
familiar act, which is an amusing travesty
on Quo Vadis.' Mr.. Shean is a German
comedian and has won considerable repu
tation for his cleverness of dialect as well
as acting. He was formerly a member of
the vaudeville team of Shean and Warren.

NEW YORK FUSION NOT
EV0KING ANY ENTHUSIASM
Republicans Feel ~Disgruntled over the
Alliance with Hearst and His
Independence League.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Not even the most
optimistic followers Of Herbert Parsons ana
the Republican organizations of New york
were predicting today that the
county ticket nominated yesterday as a re-
suit of the fusion between The Repup2cahs
and the Hearst organization would VIA
out at the polls on Election Day over tae
Tammany ticket. The most that any OF
them would say was that they believed
that Tammany would have n hard fight 10
win. whereas if there had been no fusion
Tammany would have had u walk-over.
No stranger political situation has heen
seen in years here than that which exists
today through the fusion plan carried
through by Chairman Parsons at the Re-
publican county convention last night. All
of Mr.. Parsons enemi.s most Of whom be-
long to the old Odell wing. are privately
predicting defeat for the ticket. but al.
Parsons and his friends appear to believe
that they have a chance to overcome tse
normal tic plurality in this cinntt
of 5000 by the fusion with the organization
that only a year ago was denounced IA
measured terms by the Republican orators
In the Gubernatorial campaign for tielnG
up with their former foe, Charles f. Mnf-
rhy.
This year this same organization has
jumped on the other side of the fence,
NhANA vi liz fitWVOlifl Vi 5OHtcs etiur
to further accentuate their seeming jneon-
sisteney.
Not in years has Tammany put up =
ticket that would appeal less to the indie
pendent voter of Democratic leanings. but
the consensus of opinion today among inn
partial persons was that the Republicans
by their fusion with Hearst had improved
little. if any, on this ticket.
That fact, together with the fact that
there is a heavy falling off In registration
on the part OF the Republicans. and the
signs of weakness in some of the Hearst
district organizat lions you'd seem to rnak
the success of the fusion ticket very
doubtful. In fact. it has led many Of IN
dependent tendencies to predict a Tam
many walk-over and to call down all man
Iner of rebuke upon the Republicans for
their action.
One thing is certain, and that is thar
! New York is bound to see a strange ean,-
paign. There is no enthusiasm thus far
noticeable for either ticket. but Tafg-
