THE ALEXANDRIA THEATER.

The show that was the talk of
the town at Fort Worth will be
seen here this. week with an adj
ditional feature act. Every act
on the bill has been a feature act,
as well as a big drawing card.
The manager said last evening
that he expected one Of the ban
ner weeks for this week.
Miss Helen Ogden, a soprano
and contralto vocalist, ranks
high in her profession. The pat
rons of the Alhambra Theater
have always appreciated a good
singer, and that is what they
have for this week. Miss Ogden,
beside possessing such q rare
voice, has an elaborate wardrobe
and any number of the latest
and most up-to-date songs.
Rentfrow and Jansen will pre-
sent for the first time in this city
"The Second Mr. Fiddle" This
is a little comedy playlet that has
been and is the center of attrac-
lion on any vaudeville bill. They
present it in such manner that
it has won for them a reputation
as nirth provolers. The sketch
is duly copyrighted, which makes
it very rare, and possibly this is
The first and last time you will
see it.
Hearts and Eyes is the beauti-
full Illustrated song for this
week. 1t has some of the most
beautiful slides ever shown.
Corcoran and Dixon, late feat
ures with both Primrose's and
Dockstader's MINISTRIES, will do
more to amuse you and make
you laugh than any other act on
the bill. They do a blackface act
that is good and not the least bit
tiresome.
The Alhambrascope always
comes in on a big bill and has al
ways presented a clever little
play itself. For this week an
unusual number of good ones
will be shown.
This is one of the bills that
the Alhambra Theater is in the
habit of offering every now and
then, but it happens this time
that it is a little bit better than
the rest.

immigrants, working for the
/, most part at meager wages, are
! credited with having saved ST.
265 since their arrival in Kan
sas City.
The movement has not yet at
tracted the serious attention of
the unions, possibly because it is
not on an extensive scale. In
'one instance it was found pos
,sible toiplace a cornice worker in
"a union shop with the acquies-
cence of the unions business
agent. 1t was pointed out to him
that the newcomer would prob
ably become sufficiently prof.
cient within a few weeks to
earn the union scale. AS soon
as he should reach that point the
man promised to take out a card.
The agent took the position that
it was better to encourage such
a man to enter the union than
to force him into the ranks of
the ron-union forces. There
fore he consented that he should
work in the shop on probation.
Before the expiration of the pc
:riod allotted the immigrant was
able to join the union.
Apparently the immigrants di-
verified to the West through Gal
weston are not going to drift
eastward. At least that is the
Kansas City experience. Only
half a dozen of those who have
come to Kansas City have left
town, and while the movement
has not been of sufficient dura-
ton for a test, there seems no
reason to suppose that the new
arrivals will not be satisfied
with the opportunities offered in
the West.
AS it is, they are rapidly be-
ing transformed into Ameri.
cans. The great social service
of the organized Jewish charities
in this transformation process is
self-evident. If these Russian
Jews, ignorant of the Language
and with their low standard Of
diving, were pumped down int
the West-into Kansas City, fol
instance-with no one to look af
ter them, they would starve fol
few days and then would drift
into the ranks of unskilled labor
with the chances against thei

Little Denis, and each owned for cere-

That of Big Denis was French gen

him into. That of Little Denis was
hussar's, and its intricate cut, numer-
Gus buttons, straps and buckles and
painfully small size proved quite too
Luch for him. He sent the prince a
despairing message begging help, and
q relief party of delighted midshipmen
was sent TO dress him and bring him
aboard.
They fulfilled their errand; but, with
the mischievousness OF their kind. they
so frightened every fastening OF his
