Proctor,s-VnndevlIIe.

The Thanksgiving week bill of fare at
Proctor's Theatre is of the kind tina
should tickle the palate of all theatre
goers. The program is seasoned with al
most every known flavor In the vaudeville
line, humor, music, feats of skill and
even a pinch of grand opera. The show is
generally good.
The bill includes two numbers, Wat
sons Farmyard'' and Polly Pickles Pets
in Petland." which delight the children
and please their elders as well. The for
mer is introduced on the program as ''the
most novel of animal acts" and to that
title it seems to possess a claim well
founded. Trick dogs and monkeys have
become common on the vaudeville stage.
In this instance, Mr.. Watson introduces
an educated donkey, a cat which does a
rough riding act on the back of a dog,
a pig, geese and even a set of chickens,
which enact a little barnyard drama.
Polly Pickles Pets" is an interesting lit
tie musical extravaganza, appropriate to
the holiday season. 1t is evil staged, and its
songs and dances and grotesque animal
representations are very amusing. There
are three songs in it. Miss Eulalle Young
made a charming Polly.
In the line of humor Edna Phillips &

columbia--erhc Phantom Detective"

CoIumbfa--aThc Phantom Detective"
The new play presented yesterday after
noon and last evening at he Columbia
Theatre was a musical melodrama by Lem
b. Parker, the title of which was 1.-THE
| Phantom Detective" The melodrama was
interesting and the music good. There were
special features introduced by the American
Newsboy Quartet, who won the audience
completely by their songs; the Hall Sisters,
in a pleasing little skit, and Henry Fink,
eccentric Hebrew parodist, who aroused
much laughter.
The most interesting thing of all. how
ever, was the Phantom Detective himself.
His experiences were startling. AT one
place in the play he is about to be killed
by the scoundrels he is hunting down, but
he escapes; Mt another time he is doomed,
and nothing can save him, yet~he manages
to cut loose from the clutches of his
enemies, and at still another period in the
progress of the action he is just going to
be torn to pieces by a large and ferocious
lion, yet manages to outwit the beast in
his cage. The scene in the last set, when
he rescues the leading womln from GER
tain death in the lions cage, is most SEN
sational of all.
The story is somewhat complicated. Dur
ing one of his campaigns against the
mutinous Indians in India, General War
burton placed IlSefra, q powerful 1luldh,
in an embarrassing position before his
countrymen. For this act the general is
robbed of his baby daughter. He returns
to England, and from there goes to
America and adopts Il child, whose name
is Clara Warburton. The generals own
daughter escapes from Tiserra, end also
comes to the United States. She manages
to procure work in the household of her
father. but no one knows her identity ex-
cept Tiserra, who has followed her. Clara
is to inherit her adopted fathers Immense
fortune unless his own daughter is found
in one year after his death.
Tiserra makes known the facts of the
case to Clara and her villainous lover.
They try to place Laura, the servant and
real daughter, in prison. but fail. Tiserra,
who has had a hypnotic power over Laura
since her childhood, hypnotizes her. after
he has killed her father, and escapes I'M
detected. The blame, in face of the evil
dence, is, of course, laid upon Laura.
Right here is where the Phantom Detec-
tive appears and gets in his good work,
clearing away the mystery of the crime,
performing unbelievable, rescues and re-
storing Laura to her own true place and
inheritance.
Hugo b. Koch, who played the Phantom
Detective, did good work. Other Promi-
nent characters were assumed by Robert
Adair, F. Howard Lange, Henry Fink,
Charles Del Vecchio, Anna Kildun and
Maude Truax.

aroymakcr Of Nuremberg a Success.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Austin strong's
new play, The Toymaker of Nuremberg"
was presented last night by Charles Froh-
man with success to a good-sized audi
ence at the Garrick Theatre. The title role
was acted cleverly by w. j. Ferguson,
upon whom devolved almost all of the re-
sponsibility of the offering. ''rhe Toy
maker of Nuremberg" unfolds the story
of the love of a toymaker's son for the
daughter of his employer. The life occu-
patton of the son is the playing of the
flute and the painting of eyelasnes on
dolls. Scenically the serio-comic drama is
effective, and the several acts abound in
human interest. The play as presented
last night is well staged and adequately
acted.

All he needed was 500 to put him on his

to his surprise, an offer of assistance from
the banker, who caught the youth in the
act and recognized the would-be burglar
as his long-lost son, who had been kid

and son probably prevented the bankers
ruin, for Prince learned that John and

enemies, who were planning his ruin. They
partly succeeded when they kidnapped the
bankers adopted daughter. Grace. They
compelled the girl to give them her costly

Wireess TeIephony.

Wireless telephony seems to offer
many possibilities for overcoming the
difficulties now encountered in long
distance transmission of the human
voice across the oceans. Prof. A. E.
Kennedy. of Harvard. recently stated
that there is more prospect of sending
the voice over the surface of the ocean
than through an insulated cable under
the ocean. The present range of un-
der-ocean telephoning is about sixty
miles. After that distance the sounds
become "drummy" or break in clear
ness, owing to the electrical induction.
No remedy can be found for this dis
turbance. In wireless telephony. with
in the present range of 10 miles such
distraction is wholly absent But as
+he professor remarked. transatlantic
telephony is far from being accom-
plished as yet.

they intimate that a special land agent
