JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER IS
ACTING AS ADVICE GIVER
Oil King Tells Sunday School Boys to
Work Harder When "5oss"
Is Away

CLEVELAND. o., Oct. 4.-Work just
as hard when the boss" is away as
when he is watching you, is John D
Rockefellers motto for holding a job
as related by him to the Sunday school
boys Of his church-the Euclid Avenue
Baptist-yesterday.
First Mr.. Rockefeller told now to OBJ
tain a position. This is to establish a
reputation for honesty, industry and
sobriety.
Mr. Rockefeller philosophical from
his own experience in life. incidentally
he remarked that last Sunday was the
dfty-fOurth anniversary of the date
when he obtained his first job. He was
footsore and weary when at last he
found a chance to go to work. Then he
was told to call again.
Il was to call after luncheon, A
gentleman who knew me was hunted
up by my prospective employer" Mr.
Rockefeller said. He told all about
me and l got the job. Remember, boys
when you look for a job employers will
inquire about you, and it's a good thing
to have a reputation for honesty
Especially do they inquire of Houl
pastor and teacher. A boy must not
necessarily be smart to hold a posi-
ton, but he must be honest, sober and
diligent."

Musical Comedy

"The King of Patagonia" the We
hicle in which Charles Alphin returned
to Fischer's theater last night as
author and composer. proved a tune
full musical comedy, with a fairly
coherent and interesting plot. The
augmented orchestra played with
spirit and Mr.. Alphin took personal
charge of the production, directing
from the piano.
The story shows Major sullivan,
veteran. receiving word that his son
is to return from army service in the
Philippines to pay him visit. Ine
son is accompanied by a bodyguard.
An italian cook takes the bodyguard
for the king of Patagonia. James
Mendel displays genuine comic ability
as the dignifed king. The cook is
played by Dave Morris, whose singing
of MY Cousin Caruse" is feature
of the show Maude Rockwell, rich
widow engaged to the king, made a
favorable impression and Blossom [1
Seeley scored in a soubrette role.
Harry Cakes plays Sullivan and
Richard Kipling his son. Flo Sherlock
is a correspondent for the Police
Gazette.
The new company appeared to please
the patrons of the theater, who hailed
Mr.. Alphin's return with delight.

IN AUTO TO LOS ANGELES

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.-The
secret marriage here on July IA last
of Charles Wilson Gregg, a New York
attorney and reputed millionaire oil
man, to Miss Valerie Smith of San

when the couple started for an auto
mobile honeymoon trip to Los An

has mining interests in Colorado and
is connected with various enterprises
in the south. For the last two years
he has made his home at the Hotel
st. Francis here, where his attentions
to Miss Smith, who is the daughter
of a retired publisher, led to a report
of their marriage in July, soon after

set the rumors at rest.
He explained that he had married
secretly to surprise his relatives and
that a death in the family had pre-
vented the announcement.

HONOLULU, Oct. 4.-The Pacific

1t is planned tor cruise the whole

Shore leave for the men of the fleet

ural focus, and we miss her chic and
radiant beauty even for the moment
the evolutions of the chorus obscure IT,
The singing of the male quartet is eX-
cellent, and the dancing finale brings
the act to an appropriate close.
But the bills dramatic honors still
belong to John Hyams and Miss Leila
Mcintyre, who hold over In their come
dietta, "The Quakeress." The elusive
and dainty personality of Miss Mem
tyre is the most refreshing thing af-
forded by local vaudeville in many
weeks. The act could stay month at
the Orpheum and still be assured an ap-
preciative welcome.
Dick Gardner and Miss Anna Revere
offer a frank revival of old-time vari-
ETY.. Miss Revere's skirts are colorfuly
disposed in a sort of patriotic medley,
and Mr.. Gardner's face presents kind
of acrid discord. His best appeal for
laughs is in his colloquy with Orchestra
Leader Frankenstein, who seemed
grateful-and naturally so-when the
tormentor left the stage. Judged by
present day standards, the act rarely
rises above the commonplace, but 1t is
good fun, and its humor is broad, while
retaining but little of the coarseness of
the older variety. AS a contribution TO
current vaudeville ideas, it is interest
ing. if not important.
Signor Luciano Lucca is a little man
with a monstrous cravat and dazzling
green vest. He also has two voices
the spigots to which he turns on with
adroit unexpectedness in vocal selec-
tions. I always feel an inclination tc
kick a grown man who fiirts with a
high falsetto, but something in the
deeper notes of Sig. Lucca warns one
that it would not be healthy. His pip
ing soprano at least makes US relish his
manly baritone.
The Arlington Four present the IA
miliar messenger quartet with few vari-
ations from type. Two are amusing
comedians and one an eccentric dancer
of merit. Their voices blend fairly well
and the makeup of Sambo's mouth is a
work of art, even to the pillow-like lips
and the gold teeth. A similar degree of
originality all through the act would
make 1t better worth while.
Rose Royal and her posing horse,
Hayes and Johnson and Cunningham
and Marion hold over. and there are
new moving pictures. The new curtain
with which the Orpheum has replaced
its wearisome advertising conglomerate
is a boon to many eyes which have
grown Indifferent to wares so persist
emily thrust before them. 1t may be
financial loss, but It Is artistic gain

TABLOID MUSICAL COMEDY

"At the Country Club" George
Spink's tabloid hybrid which headlines
the new Orpheum bill, is real musical
comedy. even to the absence of a tan
gible plot, the abundance of tantalizing
feminine loveliness and the preponder-

the prettiest 1 remember to have OBJ

MILLIONS WITNESS
FULTON CELEBRATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Now that the
New York end of the Hudson Fulton
celebration is practically closed, sew
eral interesting facts are disclosed.
Conservative estimates indicate thai
100000 persons residing at distant
POINTS were in the city all week. This
is shown by the hotel registers anG
the increase in boarding house busi-
ness.
On each day of the celebration an
other million persons came to the city
from nearby places, as shown by the
increase in railroad traffic. This made
at least 100000 visitors in the city
during the week, which is believed to
be the record for any city for any
event.
Millions Carried
The subway, which was constructed
to carry maximum of 100000 persons
daily, carried more than million ev-
cry day during the week. The \samt
figures apply also to the elevated rail
road, and at the end of the week, tbs
two systems had carried upwards o1
$4,000 600 persons without single in
terruption to the service, or an accl'
dent. This also breaks all records fol
the transportation of passengers.
A matter of comment has been thu
few arrests made during the celebra'
ton, which averaged only from ten Il
twenty a a day. OF the total number
of arrests there were only thirty-on'
charges of picking pockets, the ma
jority of arrests being for rowdyism IL
the crowds.
The emergency hospitals established
where the crowds were greatest
treated a total of about $50 cases dur
ing the week, nearly all of them be

BOSTON, Oct 4.-"An operation for

appendicitis operations ever since the

lieve the day is coming when the people
will realize the cutting of the appen-
dix is a crime.
