Clever Farcial Playlet Wins
Three Curtain Calls-J0hn I.

ELECTRIC PARK FEATURE
New Wild West Attractions at
Hillside--Varied Programs
at Arcade.

1t was an enthusiastic audience that
applauded a most excellent bill at Proc
tors last night. The big particular
hit of the evening seemed to be the
clever, farcical playlet, I'm the Sub
way" given by Violet Black, Sidney
Blair and company. So good was this
play that the principals received three
curtain calls, an unusual happening for
vaudeville. Its excellence was due to
the rapidity of the plays action as
much as to the ability of the per-
formers. e. K. Jones, as the irascible,
deaf ticket chopper, won a goodly
share of applause for himself.
Our old Jovial friend, John IT. Kelly,
Is with us again this week, as jolly and
rotund as ever, in an original sketch
of sporting life entitled zone Best Bet"
AS Daniel O'Rourke, a race-track gam
bier, who has fallen in love with and
married n pretty little chorus girl.
Kelly is splendid, giving plenty of light
and shade to the character of the big
Irishman. Miss Evangeline Dixey, who
played Maize, the wife of Kelly, was
disappointing. One expected good things
of her because she was the daughter
of her father, Henry e. Dixey. Her
moments of pathos and emotion failed
to ring true.
Daisy Leon made herself popular by
her clever singing of a number of new
popular songs. Cecile, the singing girl,
assisted by Aurele De Beaumont, was
very good, though her performance
was marred by the entrance of late
Corners, her number being first or the
bill.

thing new in that line. He has a very

Another airing was given the
trouble existing for some time between
the Rev. Andrew v. Kaminsky, pastor

after the welfare of the trustees.

Especial to the Evening star.l

NEW YORK, July 21.-Joseph Graf,
a mason and a well-known Bronx ath-
lete, whose home is at 1857 Webster
avenue, is happy in the thought today
that he has brought his three children
to be athletes, even before they were
barely able to crawl on the floor.
The youngest of the three children is
Helen, 20 months old. Helen's great
stunt is to hang by her hands on q
broomstick handle while her father
losses her around the room. Yesterday
Helen tumbled from the third-story
window of her home, and while the
frenzied mother. who caught a glimpse
of her falling child, thought the child
had been dashed to death, the little one
struck a fire-escape, and stretching out
her chubby fingers held on, thinking
it was the broonstick handle, and
chung there until rescued.
