Unless local theatre-goers have lost all
taste for good entertainment they will
show their appreciation of the show at
the Garrick Theatre this week by a very
liberal patronage. 1t is an excellent bill
and a credit to the house and the man
agement. Mime. Adelaide Herman in an
interesting exhibition of spectacular
dances and Illusions returns after long
absence and received a heart welcome
yesterday. Her work is clever and de-
cidedly creditable. The Romanos, French
dancers, acrobats and high-class enter
tainers. make their initial appearance in
an act that brought them well-descrved
applause at both performances yesterday.
The August -Robertas Trio, a French act
which is making its first appearance in
America this week, presents some mar
velous manipulations Of various kinds
and line of comedy that IS not half bad.
Fred Dupree, a comedian of the Ezra
Kendall stamp. sings songs that made a
hit yesterday. Miss Duval and her knick-
erbocker Girls have a number that is Of
more or less interest and The Kineto-
graph with the inexperienced Chauffeur
and "The Bad Man of the West" has
two of the best pictures X has given in
several weeks. A conspicuous feature Of
the show is Jewels ManilSins, a spectac-
ular toy production. intricate and costly,
and the only act of its kind in the vari-
ties. 1t shows a vaudeville show in minia-
ture. so perfect as to be really wonderful
in its arrangement and manipulation, and
sufficiently meritorious as TO make it a
headline feature wherever it appears. The
children especially have enjoyed this act
probably as much as anything the Car

markable contribution TO the very best

Aow many young people

it far enough to put it to prac-

who select it for a speciality
that ever get anything out OF it?
If that be true. then the study

Crawford Document.
TWO WITNESSES CORNERED

Scranton, Pa. Jan. 2S.-The mos
sensational of all the developments il
the Crawford will case were those
which concluded with the commit
ment to Jail of A. N. Baumann. of Ian
disville, N. j., and Charles F. Riedel
of Minetola, N. j.. the two witnesses
who corroborated the claimant, George
B. Schooley, of Philadelphia, in his
testimony that the will which he pre-
scented for probate was signed by
James L. Crawford, the millionaire
coal operator, in Schooley's office in
Philadelphia They appeared as wit.
nesses Of the will and swoTe that they
signed it in the presence of Crawford
and each other.
AT a hearing thy principal witness
against them was Miss E. Ivey, a IT.
year-old girl, employed as a typewriter
in the Office of Gedrge NJ. Weller, a real
estate broker of Easton, Pa. Her story
briefly was to the effect that some
time last June a man, whom she posi-
lively identified at the hearing as
Schooley,. came to her office and asked
her to do some typewriting for him.
He represented himself to be James
L. Crawford of Scranton; that he was
in i'll health, and that he wanted to
make a will that would protect his
cousin, George G. SchOoley, of Phila-
delphia. Thereupon. according to the
girl, he proceeded to dictate the will,
which was afterwards made the basis
of SchOoley's claim. She positively
identified the date of the occurrence
as last June. which was more than a
year after the death of Crawford. After
debating the will, the girl said, he die
tated the alleged codicil and then had
her make copies of both on her en- /
ployer's letter heads, after tearing off /.
the heads
The business occupied about three
hours, and after it was concluded. /
SchOoley it is alleged by the girl,
gathered up every scrap of paper, in
GLIDING the heads torn off Weller's
letter paper, and went away, after
paying her S. and cautioning her to
say nothing about the matter, as it
was a strictly confidential affair.
She thought nothing more about the
matter until she read, the girl said,
IN a Philadelphia paper of Judge
5andO's decision refusing to permit a
Jury to pass on the relative merits of
he Schooley papers and the will ad-
nitted to probate a year ago, and
which was presented by Mrs. Craw-
ord.
