Much comment has been caused
in Norfolk over the striking beauty of
the Du Monte sisters, members of the
theatrical company which will pre-
sent "a Bachelors Honeymoon" at
the Auditorium Saturday afternoon
and evening. These pretty young
women, besides being twins in real
life, will be seen as "Amoryllis" and
"Chrysllis" in this farce. These two
striking looking twins look so much
alike that much confusion arises.
When "a Bachelors Honeymoon" is
presented at the Auditorium Satur-
day afternoon and evening in Norfolk
it will be for the first time at "one-
night" stands. Herbert De Guerre will
play the part of benjamin, the Bach
elor," and Miss Grace Johnson will
play the leading feminine role. Her
new gowns for the season, which will
be worn on the stage for the first time
in Norfolk Saturday are said to be
exquisite creations. Cakes & Gibson,
managers of this company, pay heavy
royalty for the exclusive right to pre-.
sent this farce, which for ten consecu-
tive months set New York wild with
laughing at Hoyts theater.

primary law puts the control of the
county committees and the party
organization in the hands of the
county candidates. Now it happens
that republican candidates gathered
in pretty nearly all of the prohibition
nominations and and republicans and
democrats divided the populist nomin-
atoms. Republican candidates also
captured three nominations on the
democratic county ticket. Apparently
by the strict letter Of the law repub-
licans could claim the legal right to
have something to say about the or
ganization and the affairs of every
party of the county. But probably
the only parties that will take on
county organizations will be the re-
publicans and democratic parties. On
Saturday the republican candidates
