of the best comedies written in years.
It is the vehicle selected by Mr.. H. H.
F'razee for his popular star. Mr.. Jas.
j. Corbett, who is scheduled for
Monday. Oct. IL, at the Keylor Grand
theater. This will be Mr.. Corbett's
first appearance here in comedy role,
he is a natural comedian, at the same
time has full measure of feeling
when the occasion demands. In aJdi-
ton, he has a carriage and build that
many an actor might envy. AS a
story teller he has but few equals,
and that he can sustain interest in a
comedy character during the move
ment of three-act play goes without
saying. Surrounded with a carefully
selected support, the attraction bids
fair to be one of the hits Of the sea-
son.

RUSHING MCCALL
FERRY WORK
Force Of 800 Additional
Men at Work on the
Project

It was reported from York, Pa, yes
terday that 500 additional men had
been put to work at the Mccall Ferry
power plant. on the Sus1uehanna. This
force is now especially engaged finish
ing work on the tail race to permit the
water to be turned through the locks
on the Lancaster county side. This
win give the contractors a chance TO
complete the work on the York county
side of the river.
The company has been pushing its
work since last spring. 1t has had an
army of workmcn engaged on the eli
tire project. whicn is still a long way
from completion. Rapid progress is
being made and the promoters are sall
to be amply fortified financially 10 give
employment TO as much force as can
be economically used in the construc-
tion.
The company's work was held up
about a year by having its funds in
the hands of a New York trust com
pany which became involved during the
panic. This upset all calculations which
had been made to complete this work
and supplying current by September
next. Those interested believe it may
be another year before the current is
available.
Delaware is interested deeply in the
construction, it being the intention c.
the company to furnish power to in
dustries here.
