Jesse L. Lasky, one of the most extensive
vaudeville producers, is out with a new
girl act" "A Night on a Houseboat,' is
the title of the new offering. which will
begin a weeks engagement at the Orpheunr
this afternoon as the headline act. Mr.,
Lasky has nine young people and his own
electrician in the act. The whole stage is
devoted to the scene showing a double
decked houseboat, with garlands, flags
and lanterns for decorations. The little
story of the piece is that of an Englishman
visiting the houseboat during some festivi-
ties. He falls in love with the Darling
Twins" and is in a quandary as to which
OF the twins he thinks is his affinity. Some
of the characters are: Athletic girl, lisp
ing girl, college girl chaperon and the
twins. Catchy songs and snappy dialogue
are introduced during the action of the
piece.
The first George AIDE offering of the local
season comes in vaudeville, being a
sketch, The Mayor and the Manicure, "
presented by Edwin Holt and companion
entertainers Mr.. Holt was with Maud
Adams last year. He is a friend of Mr.. AIDE
and has a keen appreciation OF the
possibilities of the AIDE brand of hui
NOR. The sketch is a clever one,
taying for it's characters the mayor

exceedingly large and is interpreting Mr..

LABOR TURNS TO TAFT.
ToiIero Scent Danger In the Fallaeies
Of Mr.. Bryan.

Eotiera Scent Danger In the FailacieG
Of Mr.. Bryan.
Convincing evidence was furnished
by the conference at Cincinnati last
week by Judge Taft with Oscar
Straus. secretary Of commerce and la.
Dor, and T. V. Powderly. formerly
general master workman OF the
Knights Of Labor, that the attitude OF
labor is growing each day more friend.
~ TO Taft. The campaign of education
which the Republicans have been car.
ryfng on has been effective, and the
laboring man. so Mr.. Powderly told
the candidate. is beginning to appre-
ciate the fact that a restoration Of
business confidence through the elec.
tion Of Mr.. Taft means more work and
prosperous times for him.
Secretary Stratus announces his in.
tentlon to go out on the stump, for the
specific purpose Of exposing some Of
the Bryan fallacies in regard TO labor.
Said Mr.. Sraus: 'The most dangerous
of these fallacies is presented in
Bryan's slogan. Shall the people rule?
and well may he ask Il, for every one
OF his leading doctrines is denial OF
that rule"
Mr.. straus classes Mr.. Bryan's gov.
eminent guarantee OF bank deposits as
next in point of danger to his plan for
the government ownership of railroads.
Mr.. Straus believes this guarantee
proposition is as great menace as the
old 16 to ] hobby. 10 guarantee de.
posits," said Secretary Stratus, ''is to
guarantee the loans OF the banks. for.
as a matter of fact, a large part of the
banks deposits IS made up Of credits
extended by the bank TO borrowers and
by them deposited OF placed on the
books of the banks as deposits"
Mr.. Powderly said among other
things after his talk with Taft: LA
Dor never was better organized, better
paid, more independent or more re.
spected than it IS today. Never was 4
more secure in its share OF the outcome
of the commodity or the good viii am
confidence OF employers. All this Is
due to the effort OF nonpartisan, well

equations all over the country and at

awful panic OF 1873 and that Of 1893.
and in neither case did men go back 70
work at their old wages. The case Is
different now. and to my mind It would
be suicidal for labor to vote In such a
way as to imperii the return OF fnII
prosperity, so rapidly manifesting
itself"
