sented in the Detroit opera house,
Monday evening, before an ususually
appreciative and responsive audience.
Just as we are indebted to Sir Gilbert
Parker for the book, so are we indebt-
ed to Eugene w. Presbrey, as drama
fist. and to Guy Standing and Theo-
dore Roberts. as interpreters, for
Monday evenings noteworthy Offering.
The acting of Mr.. Standing as the cyni-
cal, foppish, irresolate Charley Steel
and Of Mr.. Roberts as Charley's de-
voted friend and protector. Joe Portu-
gals. stands out In the over-changing
panorama of stageland as something
apart from the ordinary, something
once seen never to be forgotten. It is
In the same category with Otis Skin
ner's work in Rosemary" and other
equally noteworthy examples.
Mr.. Standing lives up to the mental
picture one forms of Charley Steele In
reading the book, and though one can
not tolerate his cy - view of life
In general he gains o.4e's sympathy In
the end, and 1t was very gracious OF
the playwright to ignore the original
Parker tale In working out his denou-
ment. In the book. II will be remem-

confidence and his acting is never
overdrawn.

and about 200 men gathered TO listen
TO Breitmeyer. Some there were In
the back OF the hall who did not pro-
pose to allow the speech, however,
and they constantly interrupted Fr.
Folta remarks and also those of the
candidate.
Most OF those present wanted TO
hear the speeches, and 1t took the
authority OF the priest 10 prevent a
fight. Fr. Folta told the men present
that he is not politician, but that, IN
the interest of good citizenship, IL
was AT that they should know the men
who were candidates He added that
Mayor Thompson had not been q
friend to the Poles, and one OF the
disturbers interrupted him by declar
ing that he had job under Thompson.
Breitmeyer explained his ideas briefly.
Congressman DENLY followed him In
another brief speech.
In The Union League meeting on
Gratiot-nve., Breitmeyer said TO the
colored men. referring to the coming
of Tom l.. Johnson: We're all In
favor of three cent fares just as soon
as we can get them, and It Is an Insult
to Detroit to say that we've got to go
IN cleveland Tolado Cincinnati or
anywhere else to find man who can
tell us how to get them"
Other meetings addressed by Brett

Moran and Forest-aves., and at Con-
gress and Riopellests. Then the
evening closed with visit to the Har-

THE TIE MPLE.

There are SO many good things In
the Temple theatey this week that it's
merely a matter Of opinion which Is
the best and most entertaining act.
Ellie Fay, the singing coincidence,
who kept her audience convulsed with
laughter at her funnyisms: Florence
Gale and company, In The Girl Who
Dared" Charles Mack and company
In Come Back to Erin" and Howard
and North in a sequel to Those Were
Happy Days" are the principal attrac-
tons, although there are other tea
lures that go towards making one of
the best bills offered for some time.
For real unalloyed fun Ellie Fay,

voice of any particular strength or
beauty, but the manner in which she
says and does things is really delight

you found me?" and other child imi-
tations brought no end of applause
and she finally declared that she was

particularly new In II, provides the
sort of entertainment that vaudeville
patrons enjoy The story OF THE Girl
Who Dared" has to do with retired
German officer, Gen. Won Sternberg,
who insists that his pretty daughter
shall marry Lieut.. Gustave Won Waldo,
whether or not she Is willing. Olga,
the daughter. impersonated by Miss
Gale, rigs out as an officer and intro
duces herself to her half-blind father
as the lieutenant. BY her actions, she
SO disgusts her parent that he Is ready
to throw the young officer from his
apartments. The complications that
arise from her disguise serve as the
basis for the amusement.
The prettiest act OF the bill. the
one In which fun and pathos are hap
PLY blended, il that of Charles Mack
and his company in Come Back to
Erin" Mr. Mack has been seen In
this city previously, but his singing
and playing of the pipes as well as
the dancing of the two colleens In the
cast are exceptionally fine. The de-
scription OF the people represented In
the old album by Howard and North
was a decided novelty, and the Duff
fln-Redcay troup performed some mar
velous stunts In the acrobatic line.
Their looping the loop was decided
