LIST OF ENTERTAINERS AT LYRIC.

William Courtleigh heads the next
Lyric bill, presenting his sketch,
Peaches" by George V. Hobart, which

John Henry, the sometime follower of
the racing game who has picked I'D
track slang in abundance, but seeks to
drop betting and the slang for the sake
of his ~fancee, Peaches Mr.. Court
leigh is said to contribute an excellent
impersonation Of the average young
MAJ of today. 1t is not a one-man play,
for, in the character of Biff Donovan,
Mr.. Hobart has given a sharply con-
trasting type, the rough race-track fol-
lower.
Unthan, the "armless wonder" who
created a sensation at Roster & Balls
a dozen years ago, returns to America
with an act more varied than ever.
Unthan is without arms, but he has so
trained his feet that they answer al

by five pickaninnies in a singing sketch,
with three changes of scenery and four

THERE'S A. STORM
COMING; IT'S DUE
Al THE NEWARK
Remarkable Realism Accom-
plished in the Big Scene of
''Brewster's Millions"
RETURNS HERE WITH SAME
CAST AS LAST YEARS
Variety of Good Entertainment
Offered Next Week in All
the Theatres.

T. VEN the few who do not care for
the comedy and the ingenuity of
plot in 'Btewster's Millions"
which comes 10 the Newark Theatre
for one week beginning Monday eve
ming. agree on the sensational charac-
ter of its yacht scene. Frederic Thomp-
son the stagecraft genius who founded
Luna Park, Coney Island, the New
York H~ippodrome, is the manager and
producer.
The third act opens with Brewster's
yacht in port rocking lazily with the
swell of the tide. In the distance are
the moving waves and behind them the
lights of the little seacoast village and
the winldng eye of a lighthouse flash
ing alternate red and white.
The deck with the whole company
and crew upon it rises and falls, as if
it were the deck of a real yacht rock
ing in real waves. There have been
yacht scenes before, but never so in
genious and so perfect in illusion. The
deck of the yacht is a vast piece of
property forty feet long by fifteen
broad. 1t is mounted on rubber tire
wheels in the centre, along its longi-
tudinal axis. At each of the -four cor
ners is a lever, and with two stage
hands to a lever the yacht is made
10 rock back and forth on the support
ing wheels in a way that is wonder
fully realistic.
Back of the yacht is the water
This is made up of six frames set one
In front of another, about two feet
apart. Each is a yard wide, as long
as the width Of the proscenium arch
and supported by a wire at both ends
from the flies. They are called. in
the scene-shifter's vernacular, set
waters or more accurately, Hanging
waters"
When the storm comes up the lights
throw a brighter green ON the waves
and the fifth hanging water is raised
and lowered till 1t Dol for all the
world like a gigantic comber rolling
straight at the yacht.
The little village" and lighthouse
form a property which is set on a
little semi circular track. When the
yacht is supposed to steam off the vii
lage and lighthouse are simply rolled
down the track.
The storm clouds are motion photo
graphs of storm clouds, thrown on the
cyclorarna drop curtain by two bio
graphs. .
The cast and production is practical
ly the same as was seen here last sea

DOCTOR FOILS
MURDER PLOT
Saves millionaire Miner from
impending e--Refuses
$4,000 Offer.
BRIBE WAS OFFERED

San Francisco, March IA plot In
which two men and woman are ac-
cused of having planned the murder or
a millionaire mining man was frus-
trated here when detectives arrested
Sidney l. DENLY, Jay O'Leane and his
wife, charged with intended murder
of James Goodwin, who recently
struck bonanza mine at Goldfield.
The trap whereby the trio were
brought to grief was carefully laid.
1t appears that Goodwin had fallen
into the tolls Of DENLY and OLeane,
who for two weeks had secreted him
In a lodging house on Turk street.
where he had been drugged with drink.
O'Leane succeeded In getting from
Goodwin a power of attorney and thus
laid the first step toward acquiring the
old mans fortune. The men then ap-
preached DR.. Howard, g. reputable
physician, and asked him In case Of
Goodwin's death whether he would
sign a certificate OF natural death.
They offered Howard $4,000 for his
services.
Howard pretended to be impressed
with 0'Leane and DENLY at
his rooms at the Hotel Stewart Mean
while he notified Captain Of Detectives
and two sleuths We're Sc
creted behind a screen in Howard's
apartment.
There 0Leane and DENLY offered
Howard $4,000 of GoodwIn's money
Il he would consent to sign a certiA-
,ate of natural death and thus render
possible the making away with Good
win without investigation. s,,,.-nss |
The detectives sprang from behind
he screen and overpowered the plot
.ers. They were tuken to the city |
prison, and admissions of the plot were
wrung from them. Mrs O'Leane was
ifterward arrested.
Following is the story as told by
] Goodwin:

while standing in front Of the Golden
Vest hotel chanced to meet O'Leane.
