TOday's Telegraphic News
CONTRIBUTIONS to campaIgn Fund.

New York, Oct. 15.-William ].
BIyan's promised announcement of the
list of contributors to the democratic ma
tional campaign fund was made today.
1t came in the form OF stitement over
the signatures of Chairman Norman E,
Mack and Treasurer Herman Rider,
and shows that of the f248, 667 30 re-
ceived up to and including Oct 9th.
! 500, 7l2 SO came in contributions Of
800 and NOR, $115, 355 % came 10
contributions of less than 800 each and
S42. 500 was left over from the democratic
convention fund. The statement shows
that 1926, 962.8S has been spent and
that the balance on hand is $22, 604. 81
A plea ia made for 100000 additional
to carry on the remainder of the cam
psign.
Taken as a whole the list presents
many surprises, one of the most notable
of which that no contribution whatever
is recorded from ei her Tsmmany Hall or
It's boss, Charles F. Murphy. Former
presidential candidate, Alton B. Parker,
Is not on the list. Neither is David B.
Hill.
The names of Thomas Fortune Ryan
and August Belmont are conspicuously
absent. For the most part the "solid
south" seems to have been bit eight"
South Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Mary
land and New Mexico have each ole
name enrolled 10 the more than 500 SO
column.
Indiana did very little outside Of
Isl, 900 contributed by former Chair
man Thomas Taggart. Vice Presidential
Candidate John W. Kern Is not on the
list at all.
Another notable absentee was Cove
nor o. N. Haskell Of 0klabora, former
nst'o1al treasurer Of the committee.

VAUDEVILLE.

It is natural to suppose that when local boy appears in his home city for the first time in a vaudeville act that he will be accorded a warm vel come. and his act be given unstinted appreciation. That was the case last evening when Gus Kleinecke. son of Mir and Mrs William Klein ecke of this city. appeared in his own conception, The Pianophiends. 20 And yet had he never been in this city or came here practically as an unknown, he would have merited the same amount of applause, for his act warrants it. The act consists of five young men playing on five pianos at the same time, while four girls sing and dance to the accompaniment. Gus Kleinecke is a young and talent cd musician and his work last even ing shows him a capable leader of new and novel vaudeville turns. IL was clever and it was new and was easily the headliner of the week. The whole bill this week Is a good one. DeIaven and Sidney do a clever talking act for ten minutes. Johnny Johns has some new paro- dies which pleased. Julia Ring, George Nichols and Manuel X. Alex der had a very interesting and pleas ing sketch. The Wrong Room" The rest of the company are equally good.

BEN GREET PLAYERS"

Shakesneare's "The Twelfth Night was given a very commenda- ble presentation last evening at Poli $ theater by the Ben Greet Players. The production was really deserving of a much better audience in point of numbers There was nothing lacking in enthusiasm, however, and each of the actors and actresses re- ceived their plaudits in turn. If person is seeking the pleasure of a good and clever company of artists the opportunity is open to each, Tor in the Ben Greet Players there is not one failure or mistake. The four acts were resplendent with excellent dramatic interpretation of the Varl- ous characters. Seldom will you see such a company together and seldom will you witness such clean cut, dramatic production. It is possible, too, to overdue production of this kind, particularly in the drunken scenes. but Sydney Greenstreet as Sir Toby Belch, Percy c. Warren as Sir Andrew, Russell Thorndyke as Feste, a clown, and Agnes Elliott Scott as Maria, the maid, brought out every little point that made the scene so ludicrous and yet not dis gusting, as those scenes are often produced. Cleverness was depicted in every line and all four were given unstinted applause. Ben Greet him. self as Malvolio was one of the char acter hits of the evening. It is one of the most difficult characters to play and not make a farce of it. Merit shown in every word, gesture and pose. Redmond Flood as Or sino, Milton Rosmer as Sebastian, Stanley Drewitt as Antonio and John Burton as Lucio were equally well poised in their various parts. Or the ladies the splendid work of Irene Rooke in the character of Viola at tracted the attention of the audience from her first entrance. 1t was one of the gems of the evening. Julia Reynolds as Countess Olivia gave also very interesting interpretation of her part, while the others who occupied minor roles put as much vim and acting in their parts as though they were the leaders. They deserve much better audience this evening when they present Masks and Faces"
