the blocks with wagons ana carriages
extending into the street, and leaving
only q narrow passage, through which
other teams and autos were squeezing
by each other. Into this mselstrom OF
vehicles and people came the 14-year-
old son Of Elmer 5toddard OF Rochester
Hollow on new bicycle. Steering
around one team on his way up the
street, he started to cross to the right
side of the road and came into such
close contact with an approaching auto
driven by Franklin Salisbury that he
put up his hands against the car to
jump away from it. de saved himself

The Mayor Of Toxic"
Joseph NJ. Gates will present ssThe
Mayor of Toxic" Richard Carries latest
and best play, at the Chandler Music
hall on May 18th.
The fame of this latest offering has
spread in every city. Although 1.-THE
Mayor of Toxic" 1.-THE Mikado, "SaD
Toy and ssIhe Geisha Girl' have taken
subjects and themes OF Japan for back
ground of musical comedies, the path has
now ripened into the drama, as the sue
cess of the "Darling of the Gods" will
attest. II seems that the public nova
days really wants to be carried into that
land Of chrysanthemums and rice for an
evenings entertainment, and when one
learns of the business that "The Mayor of
Toxic" has done in New York and else
where, the verdict is universal that Jap
anese musical comedies and dramas have
come to stay.
The artists of "The Mayor of Toxic"
have been selected with discrimination
and as the dramatic critic of the Wash
ington Post wrote mot one in the cast is
below the standard of the New York or
ganization." The stage settings are
magnificent, and the costuming a verit-
able riot of rainbow tints, so beautifully
schemed that the two scenes present a
constant treat to the eye.
John L. Kearney is given splendid OF
portunities to display his well-known
qualities as fun-msker in the role of
sMarcus Orlando Kidder," and ii is SAID
that he has created no end of merriment
in the many laughable situations in
which he is placed during the course of
the play. Taken all in all, Mr.. Gates
has furnished most elaborate and pic
turesque production and provides a splen-
did singing chorus and dainty pretty
girls.
