ALICE LLOYD CAPTURES FANCY
OF NEWARKERS AT PROCTOR'S.

There's a lot of snap and vim in
the program presented at Proctor's this
week. Alice Lloyd, the dainty English
comedienne, whose fame as an enter
tainer preceded her from New York,
heads the bill, and last night the au-
dience called her out time and time
again. It's her first appearance in
Newark, and from the start, she cap
tured the fancy of the crowd.
In quick succession she rendered such
popular selections as MAY, May, May

We've had b%urlesque shows in this

all it's kind, it's in a class itself and it's
got the rest of ali of them stacked high
Upon the shelf.
The laughs begin the moment that
the curtain rings up high and smiling
faces never sag nor wrinkles leave the
eye. It's one big roar from start to
end, you roll back in your chair and
wonder why the lexicon has such a
word as care.
They call the show a burlesque, just
why is not quite clear. We've seen
some high class" comedies that tagged
way in the rear. The music's good, the
chorus great, the work is good all
round, there's no flaw in the acting and
there's no discordant sound.
The characters all show up we'll, they
play their parts with zest, but some of
| them, as usual, are better than the
rest.
o, look, there's Eva Tanguay, we
thought she'd one away, she's singing
that she doesn't care, so long she
| gets her pay"
You'd swear that it was Eva, the
| style has all the ring, but o notice
one slight difference-Miss Wood knows
how to sing.
And there is Harry Lauder, he sings
of heather and fen, but it isn't really
Harry, it's just Miss Wood again.
| Glenn Bevins takes off Hitchcock, his
work is ~unexcelled, the same way that
Miss Chandler twists around like Anna
Held.
Blanche Bates is there, Caruso, too,
and ever-laughing Fay, and even
Miss Victoria is let to have her say.
That's all the limitations, but the show
is not yet done, and laughing, roaring
episodes come flying one by one.
The jokes are fresh, the quips are
young, the songs most all are new.
Don't take our word. but take a night

organization of Truck Farmers Neces-
sary to Assure Success.

sary 10 Assure Success.
The following timely and very i'm.
portnnt suggestions are made by
Town Talk to the truck growers OF
Kapides parish. The matters treat
led OF are of vital Importance to every
community engaged in the truck
farming business, viz:
Our truck growers may well take
lesson from the progressive truck
planters of New Iberia, who are up
and doing, and are interesting the
best material in New Iberia in their
work, securing the cooperation OF
the Southern Pacific people and OBJ
tanning instruction from some of the
most successful truck growers in the
entire State.
This matter OF truck growing must
: be handledintelligently and co-opera-
lively, or it is bound to fail. Forlack
: OF a little wisdom and judgment
many d, mar has gone into this bust
ness to meet certain failure. Good
truck growers are. men of persistent
labor, directing their work with I'M
ceasing and painstaking care.
From the preparation of the soil
to the time when the production is
prepared for market, is one constant
period of careful attention, to raise
the best which can be produced and
send it to market In the best possible
shape. The finest produce the soil
can raise can easily be ruined by slow
and inadequate transportation.
The truck grower and the railroad
must enter into, partnership in this
matter, and this can only be accom-
plished effectively through organiza-
ton, onthe part Of the farmer. Next
year there will be a large acreage
planted TO; truck in this vicinity.
Now.sisthe time to lay put plans for
organizing the industry and putting
it's iiiterests.6n a Sound BUSINESS BIDS
is. The men who are going to take
up with the vocation of the truck
farm ought to move Immediately in
this matter, and when. they get to-
gether, stick together, and stick to
trucking until they make something
of it.
Bear in mind that this business
has more than one side to it, and all
sides of it must be. well considered
and brought together in unified effort.
The product, the transportation, and
the market all go together. Failure
in any one, means ruin for the whole
thing.
Inferior truck is never worth trans
porting. poor transportation will
ruin the best products ever raised,
and when the goods are shipped there
must be judgment exercised as to the
market to which they are. to be sent.
