impression at brief cnea ag"mcnis before

established himself as a Salt Lake favor

WHEN A FELLOWS ON THE
LEVEL WITH A GIRL THAT'S
ON THE SQUARE,"

The lyrics of the numerous songs
that punctuate the new play that
George NJ Cohan has written for
Victor Moore, entitled THE Talk
of New York." which begins an
engagement at the Auditorium on
Sunday, contain homely philos-
ophy of Characteristic Cohan style.
AS an instance, there is that obser-
walton of a youthful lover, grown
cynical through experience, entitled
when Fellows on the Level
With a Girl That's on the Square:
when a fellows on the level with
a girl that's on the square.
There amt no other kind Of happi-
ness that can compare;
But dodge the merry wedding bells
If there's a single doubt.
It's the worry of the thing that
makes It hard to string it out.
You can tell the way she chatters
II it's coin she's thinking Of,
With thirty cents you're rich
enough If it's a case of love:
She needn't be queen, he needn't
be millionaire,
When fellows on the level with
girl that's on the square. y

women IN THIS
BURGLAR BAND
Successful for Months Be-
cause Officers Never
Thought Of Looking for
Feminines.

LOGAN, Iowa. Oct. GA gang
Of women burglars dressed as men,
in trousers, shirts, top boots and
hats. and gearing black masks
over their f3ces, have been terror
izing the country around about
Woodbine, 10 miles north of Logan.
Always searching for male rob-
bers, the officers, deputy sheriffs
and detectives who have been for
months working on the case were
completely baffled, and it was only
by chance the surprising discovery
was made that instead Of the band
of robbers being composed of men
its members were women. One Of
the members captured, Mrs. Fred
Lind, wife of a well-known farmer,
has pleaded guilty, accepted a sem
tence Of 10 years in the peniten-
tiary, but fatty declines to name
accomplices.
When first placed in jail, Mrs.
Lind still wore the disguise which
made her appearance that Of a
man, but later she appeared in
court dressed as a woman. How
ever, the trousers, coat and top
boots worn by her when captured
were where the Judge could see
them. She is only 10 years Of age,
rather tall, blond, has blue eyes
and Is good looking.

CHARMllVCLITTLE
LEADING LADY

AS dainty and graceful as a
woodland sprite straight from the
fairy books, and as charming as
charming can be, Miss Grace Haz-
ard, leading lady in The Partisan
Model" at the Spokane theater this
week, is immensely pleasing her
audiences
A Press reporter went behind the
scenes last night and had a little
talk with Miss Hazard, while she
was waiting for her "que.p She Is
sister of Robert III. Hazard,
United Press correspondent with
President Taft, and she knows all
about newspaper life.
4 Miss Hazard went upon the stage
as very young girl, and she had
the biggest kind of stage-struck
fever. She says only this and her
determination to win out kept her
on the stage. Now she commands
positions instead of seeking for
them, but she has walked up and
down Broadway "out of job" just
like lot of other girls who follow
the lure of the footlights.
Miss Hazard is in love with Spo-
kane, and is having fine time
here.

oRPHEUM

Aside from the two big acts al
the Orpheum vaudeville theater
this week, the Howard trained
ponies and dogs, which perform
such wonderful feats, and Edwin
Stevens in his haracterizations OF
several of Dickens best-known
characters, there are several other
acts that are fully as entertaining
in their way.
The singing, and for a dancer he
sings splendidly, and dancing OF
Milt Wood is especially clever, and
there is probably no dancer who
does the same things in the profes-
sion.
The DeHaven sextette with Sid
ney c. Gibson is a most delightful
singing and dancing novelty, and
proves one of the brilliant features
of the bill.

WASHINGTON

The Russian singing and dancing
act of the Godlewsky troupe is still
one of the big hits Of the bill for
the week, while the sketch present
ed by Won Mitzell and Maynard,
"Cupid's Coincidence" is one of the
most laughable of its kind. The
sketch combines some serious stu
atoms with the humorous ones and
in that way the playlet is decidedly
interesting. For clever acting and
versatility Josephine Gassman and
her band of pickaninhies furnish
enough Of good, clean fun to salts
~ most any one. Miss Gassman is
a clever impersonator and has a
new line of songs and talk.

many thousands.
Hearst secured the indictment of

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The at
fractions Of Harry Ruck, Wall
street broker, and particularly his
pretty blue pajamas,' figure prom
inently in the divorce suit of Harry
B. Smith, which was before the su-
