Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

Nothing but universal approval is heard on all sides for the excellent bill at the Jacques this week. Seldom has the vaudeville been 90 widely praised. but after seeing the per formance this week it can readily be seen why 1t is 90 highly praised. The headline feature, William ]. O'Hearn in "A Romance of Killarney" is an extraordinary pretty playlet. The Scotch Breeder of Smiles" Jack Lorimer has made a big hit. His re- freshing rich dialect and his songs are different than anything that has been heard here and his eccentric dancing is well worth seeing. Ger trude Mansfield and Caryl Wilbur in "61 Prospect Street. is perhaps the funniest of the refined comedy acts. The Belong Brothers have a bicycle balancing act which is a hair raising and sensational and the audience sits in breathless attention during some of the daring stunts. Jeanne Ardell and her Inky Dinks score and Le Dent has nne balancing act; Bis sett and Miller. the dancing boys. and the Electrograph are other fea- lures on the bill. Popular prices.

WALT WH|TNANH0M

Whitman Fellowship Organization Of New York Bsoins . Movsmsnt
 to Buy Old House at
 Wsst HiIis, L. |.

There stands house at West Hills l.. L. house going now fast to dc cay, which is distinguished not only as the birthplace of the poet Walt Whitman, but also as the birtaplace of three generations of tho same fam. fly before him. It was of tho dear old homestead that Walt Whitman wrote:
 Born here of parents born here from parents the same and these par. ents the same
 And 1t is this historic place which Mir. Whidden Graham, of New York. has suggested to the Whitman Eel lowship, of which the late Ernest Howard Crosby was the head, that 1t be purchased and preserved as long as 1t will stand, and present indica- tions are that the movement will sue. ceed. The place is now owned by Franklin F. Rogers, of Brooklyn.
 The good gray poets birthplace is on the high road from Farmingdale. on the main line of the Long Island railroad, to the ancient north shore village of Huntington. It lies in . lovely valley between the east and west hills, in sort of . land of dreams. Here and there a pleasant farmhouse breaks the landscape, but 1t Is mostly hill and furze land, with . damp breeze blowing in from tho sea. Asters and goldenrod line tho highway in the fall and the rabbit and squirrel live peacefully in the brush and timber. <
 The house is two-storied, with It. tie "L," peak-roofed and shingled outer walls. The yellow paint has faded to dull golden hue, but the building is in good repair. Broken kindows stuffed with old quilts by the last tenant give warning of coming ruin.
 In 1905 the Huntington Colonial so- ciety erected by the roadside tablet telling that 1t marks the birthplace of Walt Whitman, "the good gray poet" born May 3l, 1919. A new farmhouse has been built in an adjacent lot, to better fit with modern needs and to go with the story of prosperity told by the great red barns in the back.

 Elsewhere in the world the birth. spots of great men of letters receive some care. The Whitman following has grown great and can save this single Long Island cottage if 1t will.

LAUGHING BRIDE REBuKED.
Judge Refused to Continue the Cere.
 mopy Until She Became Grave.

Brides must not laugh while a mar riage is being performed in Kansas. Because the bride laughed while the marriage ceremony was being per- formed. Judge McCabe last week stopped fin the middle Of the ceremony and refused to continue until the bride stopped laughing. The bride was Nina Brown of New York, who was being married to Walter Jones.
 Marriage Is not laughing mat ter" said Judge McCabe when he stopped the ceremony. "and I will not perform marriage ceremony which Is regarded as a laughing affair. When you ran stop laughing and seem to realize just a little more that this is not a side show. perhaps we will resume inc ceremony.
 Then the judge walked out of the clerks Office. where the ceremony was being performed. The couple were just half married. Jones had sworn to love. cherish and support Miss Brown. but Miss Brown owed him no allegiance of any kind. Miss Brown seemed to enjoy the situation of being single herself and still bav- ing Jones married 10 her.
 When Judge McCabe left the room Jones told Miss Brown to "straighten up and behave" herself, but Miss Brown was "tickled' and she did laugh. and hearty laugh it wss. Jones expostulated with her for some time and at length informed the judge that the lady isn't laughing now." and the judge went back to the per formance of the ceremony which made a Jones of Brown.
 The ceremony was finished without . smile from the young women. hut sitter It was. the money paid and the happy couple started to leave the of- flee. Mrs Brown-Jones looked over her shoulder at Judge Mccabe and burst into hearty laugh.
