Great care has been taken in arranging
tho program of motion pictures at Shep-
ards Arcade this week. No one class of
subjects predominates, but enough of each
Is included TO make the whole a program
such that all will find in it something OF
especial interest. The same attention has
also been given the illustrated songs.
Noon performances will be put on at the
Arcade Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fri
days, giving an opportunity to entertain
people of business during luncheon. A
special program, and extra performances
will be given Thursday, Halloween night.

them are prominent in business. profession
al and civic life.
We have on our roll lawyers, physicians,
business men and many of the leading
city and county officials. 1t was these mer
who decided to undertake the supervision
OF the Halloween festivities this year.
And | would like TO impress this fact
upon the mind of the fault-hnding clergy
man and those who believe with him,
that when the member of the Newark
Lodge of Elks undertook the experiment
of making the Halloween observance an
official one, they did so with two ideas
in view. The first vas to show a spirit
of civic pride and pr-ogressiveness, and
the second was to make the celebration
more seemly and dignifed than it has
been heretofore, when 1t had no official
or organized supervision.
Those who have read of our plans for the
omlng celebration must have noticed that
we, the Elks. issued orders aud received
the promise of the police to enforce those
orders. that there would be mont of those
so-called feather ticklers. nor any small
confetti allowed on the streets. We have
planned to eliminate all roWdyism and bois-
ferrous conduct and to make the night one
of pleasure for young and old without any
of the dlsgraceful scenes and incidents
which have marked some of the unor-
ganized observances Of the day in other
years.
The fact that the Newark Lodge of Elks
viii be IN cnarge of the Halowe'en celehra-
ton will he Il guarantee that X will be
conducted in y pi1per ana beftting inaH-
ner. There will be none of those rlotous
scenes enacted as in previous years, fof
the members of the brotherhood of Elks
will see to it that the occasion will be one
to be remembered with pleasure and IL all
goes well to be repeated every year.
This is a w~orkaday world and we all
work and worries and anything that
will have for its object the adding to the
joy of living and the pleasure of the peo-
pie is to be commended and not denounced
offhand without warrant.
1t will give me great pleasure to meet
the Orange pastor on next Thursday night
and give him n seat among our official
guests so that he may see with his own
that his fears will not be realized
On the contrary | feel assured TINT IL he
will come to Newark on that night and
join with us he will nave a better opinion
of the people. a more tolerant view Of the
festival and ever after have a high opinion
of the Newark Lodge of Elks. Respectfully
yours. LOUIS V. ARONSON.

the curtain. Their one act sketch Is a
burlesque on Uncle Toms Cabin" which
illustrates the hardships met by a
theatrical troupe whose repertoire in
cludes anything from Ia Ia to Uncle
Tom.
The musical number rendered by the
Spiller quintet was a little above the
average. They were down on the pro-
gram as Musical Bumpers" but they
didn't bump" They ripped 1t off by
the yard on the saxophone and xylo-
phone in a manner that was very en-
%tertaining.

comedy sketch, "A Dude Detective"

One number on the bill that should
not be lost sight of was the appearance
for the first time before a Newark audi
ence of Frank Fogarty, the Dublin
minstrel. His monologue was exceed
ingly diverting. He was frequently in
terrupted by applause.
AS a whole the bill should please the
patrons of the house well.

TO HOLD NEWARK
TO SEWER CONTRACT.
East Orange Considers Passaic Pollution
Notice with Regard to Local
RESPONSIBILITY.

Meeting In a committee of the whole last
night the East Orange City Council dis
cussed with Mayor William Cardwell and
City Counsel Jerome d. Gedney the notice
sent out by the Passaic Valley District
Sewerage Commission that the pollution
Of the Passaic River must cease In a few
years. East Orange has a contract with
Newark for its sewer line that is known
as a perpetual contract" and according
TO its terms Newark is to care for East
Orange In his regard forever, so long as
but 100000 gallons pass through from the
suburban municipality. The contract was
drawn up for East Orange by John Frank
lin Fort when he was East Oranges city
counsel several years ago. East Orange
believes the contract Will hold good and
that Newark will have to live up to its
terms.
There was a lengthy discussion on the
matter at the executive session, but 1t was
stated today that nothing concrete was de-
cided upon by the Councilmen.
Relieving the present condition Of the
money market made it unfeasable to is
sue bonds for the present, the Council de-
cided on the recommendation OF Chair
man Pierson. of the finance committed, to
transfer $4,000 from the incidental fund
to the credit of the water department. The
money will be used toward paying the
amount due for the new system of wells
and lines Of pipe leading to the sub-stations
at White Oak Ridge, which work is now
AAtAA
Mayor Cardwell sent a special message to
the Council recommending that every EN-
ployment agency in the city pay "a license
fee Of $40 a year. and the Cohncil decided
favorably on the proposition.
Councilman SaXelby said several resi-
dents had approached him recently, asking
If the garbage collector could not remove
the cans from the rear of yards, but 1t
was claimed this would cost too large a
sum. Several of the Counciimen called at
tention to the failure of many people to
use covered cans for garbage, and 1t was
said that arrests should be made for vio-
%lations, but Councilman Somers thought
the Jail wouldn't be large enough. Coun-
Gilman Lee volunteered the information
that the people who did the most howl
ing committed the most violations" Then
the incident closed.
A resolution was adopted which provide
that the city engineer in the future is TO
present reports at each Council meeting as
TO the progress of work by contractors.
IT was decided to receive proposals for an
eight-foot sidewalk IN both sides OF Main
street, from Newark to the Orange line.

BInney,s-"Bunco IN Arizona.

MISS Lillian Mortimer. In the title role
of her new meodrama, "Bnnco in Arizona. .
which inaugurated n weeks run at Bla-
neys Theatre yesterday, is, unlike her
name, neither airy nor fairy. Hell per-
sonality is of the substantial sort that
holds the centre of the stage in n play
that appeals strongly to lovers of sensa-
tional drama.
For 'Bunco In Arizona'' didn't bunco
anybody. 1t satisfied. 1t filled an aching
void in the breasts of ordinary, civilized
Jerseyites, who never had an opportunity
TO shoot Indians, nor participate in any of
those exciting little diversions which are
supposed by authors of melodramas to
keep the wild and woody Westerner from
getting that tired feeling familiar to In
habitants OF the effete East.
Bunco ls a cowgirl of the Golden West.
She has been adopted by the miners and
cowboys because her parents have disap--
peared, no one knows where.
Mrs. Heathercott aud her hopeful son,
James, arrive with the glad tidlngs that
the young girl is heiness to a large fortune
In England. The news brings great dis
tress to Dick Gold. a cowboy, whose name
bellies the size Of his purse.
For Dick loves the girl and sees in her
riches an obstacle to their union. But
money does not turn Bunco's head nor.

the cowgirls foster father, and unites with
a Frenehman and Black Hawk, one of
those kim of redskins who are bad all
the way through. TO put a sudden end to
poor Dick.
Bunco gets in the way of these worthless
awfully, in the same old way we've seen
1t done before, and in one or two new
ones, just out of the play factory. This
Is what makes the piece interesting. In
the second act Dick is knocked senseless
by "%Frenchy." A dynamite bomb, with
lighted fuse, intended to assist him into
eternity as suddenly as possible. Is left at
his side. The bridge over which he might
escape is cut down, but Bunco is equal to
anything and crawls across the chasm that
separates them on an ore conveyer,
snatches the bonn and throws it away
Exploding at the proper moment, the hyna-
mite unexpectedly polishes off Black
Hawk in fine style.
In the third act Bunco is an unwilling
witness to an attempt to burn Dick at the
stake. An Indian maid effects his rescue,
and the villains are again heard to grit
their teeth. Before the final curtain Of the
last act they are completely down and out.
Miss Mortimer burns all the calcium.
The play is a sequel to mo Mother to
Guide Her" familiar to patrons OF this
house, and she has provided herself, In
writing it, with a number of stirring scenes
exactly fitted to her acting talent, playing
Bunco with spirit and dash.
Though they had less opportunities TO
display their histrionic abilities, the other
MEMBERS of the cast were capable. The
scenery was excellent.

The bill at Proctor's this week is eX-
c~entionally good. The topliners are
John Rogers, as Robinson Crusoe' and
Ben Deely, as Friday. in the spectacu-
lar musical comedy of one act Robin
son Crusoe's Isle" The two are ably
supported in singing by FIVE male and
five female voices. Rogers, as Crusoe,
with his deep basso, and carrying his
pet parrot on his shoulder, was heartily
greeted upon his entry. Corinne Lee
Clair. as queen of the Hocos Pocos, was
also well received. The musical num-
bers were all good. the lines were
breezy and the production was well
staged. IT was a novelty and made a
hit.

is in love with Yirgie Morton. Bill Cor
don. the sheriff and hero, was also well
played.
During the second act Al Lester kept
the audience AMUSED for ten min
utes with his up-to-date PAROLES. He had
to respond to at least five curtain calls.
Specialties by Celia Rosewood and LEO
Doherty were also we'll received.
Baby Doris Usher, as the Brooklyn
Bridge waif, created much fun. The plot
of the play is interesting, and. as usual,
the villain is triumphant until the last act,
when he is dethroned by the hero and
strung IN to a tree.

Resents CIergyman,s Criticism.


The following letter has been re-
ceived from Louis ". Aronson. chair
man of the Elks' finance committee:
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
According to the ~wspap reports,
a Methodist clergyman of Orange took
occasion on Sunday night to denounce
the forthcoming observance of Hallow-
cen in this city, basing his objections
chiefly on the ground that the day was
originally a religious holy day. The
Clergyman somewhat deprecated his
W argument by showing that long
before, the advent of Christianity it
had been observed by the pagans as a
day of Precipitation to evil spirits.
Without entering into argument over
the origin of the day, I wish to make
a point clear to the clergyman and
others who think with him, and 1t is
this: For many years and in many
lands Halloween has been observed as
a masqueraders' holiday. So far as I
am aware, the only denomination that
holds to it as a religious fast day, not
a festival day. Is the Roman Catholic
Church, and in countries where the peo-
pie of that faith predominant the OBJ
of the day does not prevent
the people from also taking part in the
games and merry-making, which are
not by any means the least important
features of the celebration
The popularity of Halloween as a day
OF domestic and public jollifcation has
been growing in this country with each
year for the last two decades. In the
city of Newark the young people have
practically made the day and night their
own for disappearing.
An attempt was made two years ago to
organize the public observance into some
semblance of order. But there was no
real organization at the back Of the move
ment. Hence the official supervision was
lacking.
A year ago l suggested to the members
OF the Newark Lodge of Elks, of which
| have the honor Of being a member. TO
take up the matter of the supervision and
organization Of the festival, The time
gave the suggestion was too late in the
/. season to give the subject the attention
1t deserved, SO action was postponed until
this year. Right here let me call to mind
the fact that the membership of the New
ark Lodge of Elks is composed of men
