ing rate In the midst of his riotous
living he meets and fall In love with a
girl named Eleanor Ashton. This per-
sonage instills into the young man
ideals worth while and points out to
him that he should employ his time
properly and become somebody. The
love of the girl prompts him, and he
turns his back on his old associates and
determines to make a man of himself.
He causes his father to disinherit him
for a years time in which he is to try
to make good. He discovers valuable
invention, makes fortune, becomes a
man, but during that short year in
which he is accomplishing things he
suffers numerous deprivations, all of
which are shared by an artist friend
named Jean Geraud. 1t is their expert
ences during that year that bring about
the funny situations.
Miss Lang is cast for Eleanor Ashton
while Mr.. Lytell will play the role of
Perry Merrill. All the other members
of the stock company are well cast and
the play will be staged in the best
possible Alcazar manner.

Broadhurst Fun at Alcazar

This week is the last in which Ber-
tram Lytell and. Laura Lang will lead
the forces at the new Alcazar theater,
and the management has chosen for
their farewell performances George H.
Broadhurst's clever comedy, "a Fool

these two players should appear to
decided advantage.
The plot of "A Fool and His Money!

places of amusement when they find
the entertainment averages well.
When there's little that's good, on the

I do not believe that the growing in

detriment OF the theater"
There is local evidence to support
that statement Five or six years ago
the vaudeville field of San Francisco
was confined to the Orpheum. Now
at least half a dozen cheaper priced
theaters of that class are thriving,
and several still cheaper priced houses
are assured.

In all American cities the people
who attend vaudeville performances
greatly outnumber those who go to
other places OF amusement Twenty
thousand people witnessed the vaude-

for attendance at that house, the lead

TZLAW & ERLANGER, inner
" circle Of the great theatrical
syndicate, have declared inten-
ton to revolutionize vaude-
vile next season by elevating its
artistic tone above the highest ex-
listing standard. Their main offerings
are TO be drawn from the best IN
music and drama.
Miss Julia Heinrich, contralto, and
Miss Marguerite Easter, soprano
were chosen TO adorn this page be
cause they are fairly representative
Of the klaw & Erlanger purpose.
Each of the ladies is possessed Of a
well cultured voice Of ample range
and pleasing quality, and in solo and
duet they sing refined melodies TO
Orpheum audiences. Yet they ind
less favor with those assemblages
than do the tumblers, the bicyclsts,
the contortionists and the singers OF
popular" ditties who have had little
or no vocal training.
When Yardley and I were ushered
into the Heinrich-Easter dressing
room last Monday afternoon the con
tralto was alone and IN street attire.
She informed US that the soprano was
studying The Human Frog" whose
act was then in progress.
Are YOU ladies' IN vaudeville TO

ooh, dear, no. she laughed This

This is Miss Casters first Ofense as

That Fngid First Audience
Miss Easter, caressing huge bunch
of sweet pea blossoms, entered and
giumly gazed al us until introductlOns
were effected Then she sat and cod
died her fragrant burden.
DO you like vaudeville?' l asked
her
She glanced imploringly at Miss
Heinrich, who promptly and suavely
said why shouldn't both of US ike
vaudeville after being so cordially
received and approved by our first
audience and so generously treated by
the critics.
Miss Easter stared IN doubt al her
companion until she detected the sar-
casm. Then she smiled IL her bou-

1t Might Have Been Worse


'I thought there were not many
admirers Of fine music n our FIRST
audience" Miss Easter Hurmured.
@'Why-because those present made
so little noise?" ] artlessly asked.
Not at alI,V Miss Heinrich quickly
put in. Admirers OF our perform
ance do not manifest their admiration
by shrilly whistling or vigorously
stamping their feet. If the house had
been packed with cultured concert
goers the noise provoked by US would
have been no greater than It was.

that no matter how bad anything IS

It was palpable that Miss Easter
was not cheered by her associate s
philosophy, for she turned TO me and
faltered, How could vaudeville be
worse?
''Well, for instance, there are no ami
mails on the program with you" 1
elucidated.
Not unless The Human Frog can
be so classified" Miss Heinrich naive
ly remarked.
Don't you know, think that frog
gentleman gives very artistic per-
Torrance" Miss Easter opined with
some vehemence.

But aside from his limb twisting
there are his costume, his stage set
ting and the accompanying music, all
contributing appropriate atmosphere.

"If ii is, we're not" sighed Miss
Heinrich.
Miss Heinrch's Handicap
Didn't your act follow that of the
trained horse the last time you were
here?" I asked her.
Miss Easter shuddered and hugged
her posies.
NO" deliberately replied the fair
conTalto; I was sandwiched be-
tween the canine circus and the edu-
Gated seals"
Miss Easter shivered.
I'm afraid" she faitered, that I
never could really like to remain in
vaudeville"
ct may afford more congenial
atmosphere for chamber music when
Klaw & Erianger start their refinery"
I encouraged.
But she did not beam.

FOURTH GRADE PUPILS
SHOULD Be PRACTICAL
Fassett A. Cotton May Sub
nit Problem.
MAY AFFECT RICHMOND.

In fifteen days Johns COW gave 63
gallons and 8 quarts of milk; how
many pounds OF milk each day did
Johns cow give, and is that an aver
age for a good COW?
Thus would Fassett A. Cotton, state
superintendent of public instruction,
have the school teachers of the fourth
grades in Richmond make the pupils
think along practical lines. In his
December bulletin, which was issued
yesterday to the teachers of the state
Superintendent Cotton suggests such
a question, with of course, some expla-
nation as to how much milk is re-
quired to make a pound.
The bulletin for this month is de-
voted almost entirely to impressing on
the teachers the importance of using
concrete illustrations when dealing
with the subjects of arithmetic and
geography.

NO LEGAL RIGHT
TO SELL PARK LAND
City Attorney Study Says City
Should Not Sell to the
Pennsylvania.
WANT LAND FOR SWITCH.
IF THE RAILROAD COMPANY
BRINGS CONDEMNATION PRO-
cEEDlNGs, COURTS WILL RULE
IN FAVOR OF CITY, He SAYS.
WANT LAND FOR SWITCH.

The city of Richmond has no right
to sell the Glen or any part OF it, is
the opinion of City Attorney t. j.
Study.
Mr.. Study says that if the Pennsyl-
vania railroad company continues to
insist on securing part of the north
ern section of the park to increase its
right of way, he would advise the city
to take no action in the matter and al
low the railroad company to bring con-
domination proceedings in the court.
The city attorney expresses 1T as his
belief, that if the railroad company
does take such action, the court will
rule against it on the ground that the
using of the section desired by the
railroad for right Of way would in
jure a public park. The city will act
on the recommendation given by Mr..
Study.

RIFLE USED IN

Was Presented in Kentucky
Court Today, at Trial
of Caleb Powers.
CREATED A SENSATION.
NOW SPECULATION is RIFE AS TO
WHAT SIGNIFICANCE 1T WILL
HAVE ON ULTIMATE OUTCOME
OF THE HEARING.

Georgetown, KY, Dec. 1S.-Myster-
day of the tragedy, the famous Marlin
rifle, from which the shot that killed
Gov. William Goebel is said to nave
been fired, was produced in court to-
day. The noted weapon has figured
prominently in the testimony during
the murder trials, Youtsey dwelling
especially on it The gun has created
a genuine sensation here.
In the present trial Youtsey testifi
ed that during his confinement in the
Georgetown Jail in company with
Powers, the latter asked him if he
could identify the rite Youtsey said
that, fearing a trap, he replied that
| he did not think he could. On cross
examination, Mai. Owens, for the de-
Tense, had asked Youtsey as to the
present location Of the rifle. The con
vict witness replied: TT has been in
possession of your side all along, and
Powers ought TO know"
| In answer to the questions put to
Powers it developed that Powers had
made an effort since 1903 when he
was last tried. to find the Marlin rifle
with which Goebel was killed. that he
had succeeded; that he did not have
possession of the rifle, but that he had
the information that It is in George
| town.
| Speculation is rife as to what can be
developed from the discovery of the
long missing weapon.

To aid in healing old sores, or ulcers,
apply DIR. Pierce's All-Healing salve
to them while taking the "Golden Med
ical Discovery" to purify and enrich
the blood.
DR.. Pierce's All Healing Salve is
cleansing and pain relieving. 1t de-
stroys the bad odors arising from sup
purating, or running, sores and puts
them in the best possible condition for
healing.
The "All-Hea'ing Salve" is superior
dressing for all open, running, or sup
purating, Sores or Ulcers. For healing
open wounds, cuts and scratches it is
unsurpassed.
If your medicine dealer does not have
the "All-Healing Salve" in stock mail
80 cents in postage stamps to DR.. R. v;
Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y, and you will
receive it by return post.
In treating all open sores, or ulcers,
boils carbuncles aud other swellings, it
is important that DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery be taken persistently
to purify the blood and thereby remove
the cause of the trouble. 1t is in the
blood that the great battle of health has
to be fought. The ulcer and the sore
are simply the scarlet flowers of disease,
with roots running down into the blood.
These roots must be eradicated or the
disease will break out afresh. ~Golden
Medical Discovery" cleanses the blood
of all foul and poisonous accumulations,
pushes out the dead and waste matter,
and thus purifies the entire life current.

it is no longer fed by foul blood.
