 At the head of this weeks superb bill in vaudeville stands William Haw- trey, brother of Charles Hawtrey, the celebrated English actor of legitimate comedy, who makes his first appear ance on this side of the Atlantic in a dramatic sketch, Compromised" The supporting company is excellent while Hawtrey himself gives as fine a bit of acting as has been seen in vaudeville here. The plot hinges on the seven year disappearance of Hawtrey, whose wife believing him to have been killed in a railroad wreck marries again, keeping her marriage to Hawtrey a secret. Hawtrey, the villain, appears and the complications set in motion by his arrival form the basis of very clever little drama. It is in matter and in execution well worth while.
 "The actress and the maid" are typ ical of their class and their skit was very well received, If nothing more, the turn is a laughtermaker and serv- es to drive dull care away. It Is a hu- morous bit of work.
 If there is a superior group of colored on the vaudeville stage than Coates and Grundy's it has not been seen in this part of the world. There are five of them, but the two gentlemen of color hold the center of the stage and keep it successfully for over half an hour with nothing but applause for their efforts They are high class in every, sense of the term and their work deserves success. Their turn called forth dozen curtain calls.

The act iseunique.
 Then there are Banks and Newton, the long and the short of 1t, the staid and the rollicking whose turn is one of the most entertaining in its well-filled field; Apdale's animals, the dogs, mon keys and the original Teddy bears, who are out of the usual run in their class and the electograph with it's customary good motion pictures, not to mention the German comedians who do Just because she makes those goo-goo eyes" in their own tongue and discourse mirthfully in song and speech
 All in all the show can without a particle of exaggeration be set down as one of the best bills ever presented by the house of Poll Applause followed laughter and laughter was almost con- tinuous. It is not entirely to laugh, however, but is very well arranged as regards that spice of life-varlety.

 There is not two more popular players now before the public than Cecilia Loftus and Lawrence D'Orsay, and the announcement that they will be seen here in new musical enter tainment called The Lancers" will be interesting news to all lovers of bright, clean comedy, with musical embellishments. The engagement is at the Hyperion theater and for two nights, November 15 and 16, and no doubt the attendance will be very large, for the regulations of Miss Lof- tus and MT, D'Orsay, as well as that of Henry Miller, as a producer, are too well known to cause the public to doubt the excellence of the entertain ment they will provide.

CALL. DIR. RAMSEY
TO GRACE STREET
Believed That South Carolina
Minister Has Been Selected
BY Congregation

According to reports current in Rich

sen. u. D.. OF Charleston S. c., has
been selected as the new pastor OF the
Grace Street Baptist Church, TO sue
ceed Rev. c. S. Gardner, D. D., who re-
signed some time ago. DR. Gardner
goes in the early fall to Louisville, Ky,
where he has accepted the chair of
Ahomllctics in the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary. The report of
the selection of DIR. Ramsey could not
be officially confirmed. since all the
members of the church committee de-
cline to discuss the matter. The cor
rectness of the report seems assured.
however, and those members of the
congregation who are free to discuss
the matter are greatly pleased at the
committees choice. and feel sure that
the action will be for the best interests
Of the church.
Rev. Dr. Ramsey is described as a
man of striking appearance, about
forty-two years of age, and decided
pulpit orator. In his passionate in Char
lesion he has been easily one of the
leaders in his denomination in South
Carolina. In his present pastorate he
has been particularly attractive to
Young men. and his evening services
have been largely attended by people

HARTMAN A THIEF
PASTOR DECLARES
Rev. E. r.. Darlnun Dcnounccs
Men "Who Would Wreck
Railroad for Gain"
FALSE IDEALS OF SOCIETY
Richmond Preacher Defends
4 Workingl1lan and Arraigns New
Works 400.

At st. James Methodist Church last
night Rev. e. T. Dadmun preached a.
sermon on 'The Wor<ingman's Posi-
Scripture, st. 1ames':, Epistle. second
chapter and first verse: My brethren,
have not the faith of our Lord Jesus.
Christ, the Lord Of glory with respect
to person."
The preacher attacked with vgor
what he described as the false social
conception which either frowns upon or
looks askance at the manual laborcr.
He declared that such an idea was
contrary to the teachings OF the Bible,
the greatest of whose characters We're
workingmen, and that the Lord of
Glory, who could have been born IN
the highest social sphere, preferred
the carpenters shop and while healing
the sick and giving sight to the blind
performed manual work of benefit to
the community and thus dignined labor.
Men who live by their wits" Mr.
Darmun said. ARE spectators and
sharpers, who produce nothing, are
OF no benefit to the world. The
cultured, courted idler who makes his
money by deity turning cards and Is
a prince at the club and gladly re-
ceived in n certain society, is of no
benefit to the race. The honest, hard
working mechanic-and of such are
largely composed Gods gentlemen-are
the pillars of our great Industrial
structure. the helpers of the world
and honest hand toll Is as honorable
and as ennobling as any profession"
Calls Them Thieves.
In speaking of the wealthy idle, the
preacher referred to the kings OF
finance "who would wreck a railroad
for gain" and declared that If press
reports are to be relied on Hartman
is as much thief as If he had literally
thrust his hands into peoples pockets
and extracted their purses.
The social ideals of New Works
400" he Continued. is a horrible pic
irture of idleness and its fruits. by

mand, and II behooves us not to coun.

| idleness and a consequent down-lool
upon the toler. but to honor manhood
and man labor, for from the ranks OF
such are to be found the gems of the
race, society's truest supports and tn,
church's staunchest friends"
The discourse was punctuated by
! apt and well-told incidents that rein
| forced the argument. The sermon helt
the closest attention of the large con
i gregation. It was a severe arraign
ment of all tendencies to regard tn
