Chief in Declining to Make

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Dec. s.
-Shapely girls in short skirts
shown in boardwalk moving pic
lures and in penny slot machines
are not immodest exhibitions, &C
cording to Chief of Police Wood
ruff. He refused today to take up
the protest of local club women,
who claim that children are being
corrpted by cheap pictures of
doubtful character Chief Wood
ruff admitted that he intended to
look into the statement that scenes
from the Thaw trial and produc,
tons of the Salome dance are being
shown to children, but refuses to
interfere where the exhibitions are
merely of dancing girls in short
skirts.
I'm a city where fully half the
feminine population wears knee
length bathing suits during the
summer" said the chief, I'VE can
hardly object to similar stage cos
tunes on the pictured women in
the slot machines. These objec-
tions seem to me to be too prud-
ish."
The women say they will keep up
their crusade with direct appeal
to Mayor Stoy.

ORPHEUM.-Frank Tinney in
his black face stunt at the Or
pheum is pretty much whole
show in himself, and in point of
fun making he ranks first and fore
most on the bill. 1t is not SO much
what Tinney says, but it is his man
ner of saying the bits of nothing
that have caught the audiences,
His bagpipe scene is a scream if
the word scream" is ever legiti-
mate in describing vaudeville act.
Tinney is not the only fun maker
on the bill. Fox and FoXie in their
burlesque circus are entertainers
of the first water, and their trick
dogs are well trained. The act Is
burlesqued throughout and is thor
oughly enjoyable.
Neutrality-suspicious. Of those
extra good acrobatic numbers is
the one offered by the Four Baltus,
who are wonderful acrobats. They
have neat and smooth way of
doing one sensational feat after
another, that is decidedly refresh
ing. The act Is well cOstumed, and
all the way through is worthy of
praise as thoroughly entertaining
offerins J. c. Tremayne and com
pany, presenting THE Girl of the
Times" furnish an act with many
features of worth.
