The Bush family from the Keith
vaudeville circuit heads the Arcade's
bill for this week. This coterie Of
musicians render all the latest operatic,
classical and popular musical numbers

England" he will be added to the
Arcade's bill.

half of the week are Fred Hopp. with

trated song numbers by William A.
Hegel and George Grunewald in con-
junction with vitagraph motion picture
contributions. On Thursday there will
be a change of the bill.

HOUSES In
EAST ORANGE BLOCKED.
Two-foot Strip on Woodland
Ave. Opening Restricted.

Alarmed at the rapid encroachment
of two-family dwellings upon the ex-
elusive residential sections of the city.
the East Orange Common Council last
night refused to grant frontage to own
ers of four plots of and suitable for the
erection of such houses on the proposed
opening of Woodland avenue upon their
unwillingness not to pledge themselves
to erect only one-family structures.
The ordinance passed fnal reading,
leaving a two-foot strip where it is
proposed to open the new thorough
fare.
Owners of property on the west side
agreed to pay the assessments for the
street on their side, and for the W
foot stretch, if the Council carried u
the plan, agreeing, however, to sell
the strip in front Of the property OF
four to the four property-owners who
would not sign any time they agreed
not to allow the erection of the two

citizens at large on the account of so
many two-family houses being erected

planned having worked hard to interest
all owners along the proposed street
and intended to act this way in the
future in respect to the opening.
If owners of the Jackson property

SHOW AT WALDMANN'S THIS
WEEK is CONTINUOUS LAUGH.

'Fads and Follies,' with Roger I'M
hof as the leading comedian. is the bill
at Waldmann's OperaNHouse this week,
and without any exaggeration it is the
funniest show that has visited Newark
in a long time. With a varied cast of
excellent singers, tuneful airs and
catchy lines, the skit runs along
smoothly, holding the auaience at all
times.
Imhof, as Casey, a ~pugnacious Irish
man, is the butt of numerous schemes
on the part of two neighbors, all of
which tend to bring about his downfall.
Casey, however, is sharp enough to
foil their plans until he agrees to be-
come a member of the Green Sod Club,
and it is during his initiation into the
latter organization that the house is in
one continuous uproar.
The Great Golden Troupe, ten Rus
sian dancers, present about the best
exhibition of whirlwind dancing now
on the stage, and that their work is
appreciated is attested by h conti1-
uous applause. Their act is really won
derfu1 and from beginning to end they
keep the audience on the qui vive.
The Misses Shirk and May Walsh are
possessed of weI1-trained voices and
please with a number of the latest met
ropolitan successes. The chorus is COM
posed of pretty and handsomely dressed
girls, but the work of Miss Helen
Walsh, who won first prize in New
York city recently as the most popular
chorus girl of the season, stands out
above all others.

ESPERANTO AS AN AID TO
FARMERS OF THE WORLD.
Bulletins May Be Issued in Uni
versal Language.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.--Before
many years bulletins of the department
of agriculture may be sent broadcast
over the world printed in Esperanto.
In the great marble building which is
being constructed to house the depart
ment of agriculture all the elevators
bear printed notices of classes that
meet twice a week for instruction in
Esperanto, as follows:
L agrikultura Esperanto klubo
kunvenas oe 4:30 p. m. cium vendredon
(Friday) en- chambro No. 423 occidental
parto del agriculture konstruajo ciu
interesita persona estas invitata."
Professor w. j. Spellman, in charge
of the division of farm management.
is a skilled conversationalist in Es-
peranto. Without reward or the hope
of reward he holds classes after office
hours for beginners on Wednesdays
and on Fridays for advanced students.
Many of the employees of the depart
ment can readily in the uni
versal tongue and still more can
read it.
In the march of progress and in the
promotion of the brotherhood of man,
it is said, it may be desirable to send
information for the uplift of the agri-
cultural classes everywhere. Bulletins
in many tongues would now be neces-
sary, while with one universal means
of holding communication by the
printed page, it is held, the labor of
sending out information would be
greatly facilitated.

"THE COWBOY AND THE THIEF" IS
COLUMBIA THEATRE THRILLER.

The Rowland and Clifford Amuse-
ment Company offers as the attraction
at the Columbia Theatre this week
1.-THE Cowboy and the Thief" from the
pen of J. Wendell Davis. 1.-THE Cowboy
and the Thief has both novelty and
power. The plot is too complicated to
be outlined here. James l.. Lewis as
Jim Dawn, overseer of the Golden
Ranch, proves a capable actor, as is
Herbert Pardey, who plays the part
of Pedrow, a Mexican renegade. J.. P.
MCGOWAN, who takes the part Of Joe
Fawley, the villain, is properly
f%erocious. Miss Katherine Gregg, who
plays the part of Starlight, the Indian
girl, is appealing and effective. Mr..
Davis as Dick Farnum. a cowboy, and
Miss Ida Marie Nelson as Margory
Holmes, the flower of the ranch" are
both good. During the action of the
play specialties r. introduced by Dan

THREE TWINS MAKE HAPPY
BOWATN NE WARK THEATRE
Langhable Musical Comedy
Keeps Large Holiday Crowd
in Merry Mood.
GOOD ATTRACTIONS AT
OTHER LOCAL PLAYHOUSES
Shows at Proctor's, American,
Waldmann's and Miners
Please Audiences.

TT vas a holiday audience, blithe-
some of mood and quite willing to
laugh heartily on every possible
occasion, that watched the performance
of THE Three Twins in the Newark
Theatre last night. Needless to say,
occasions to laugh were many, the
greater number being due to the fun
making powers of Clifton Crawford. the
third twin, and the cause of all the
complications.
The Three Twins is the shining ex-
ception that rove the rule that regn-
lates musical comedies, in that it has
a plot that is quite tangible every mo-
nnent In the first place, there are two
twins, regular ones, brothers, one mar
ned and the other about to be. Tom
Stanhope, the scatter drained son of
his dyspeptic father, is about to be
cast off because he loves his fathers
ward, pretty but penniless. He finds a
photograph of one of the twins, and
decides that If he can make. himself
UP to look like that picture he car.
return and win the girl right under his
fathers nose.
IN a little while back he comes, look
Ing more like the twins than they look
like themselves. The wife of one, Mrs
Dick Winters, a cheerful weeper falls
upon his neck, thinking him her hus-
band, who is about to return from asani-
tarium. While he is adapting himself
to this role he espied by the fancee,
of the other twin. who tries to tear him
from the weepy one. In the midst of
proceedings his own sweetheart comes
upon the scene, and just as HI makes
his escape the twins, one after athe
other, come home. Toms own father,
seeing M after the other, despairing1y
decides that all are one man, a crazy
one n has him" sent back, to the
sanitarium, where one complication fol-
lows another until everything is
Strengthened out, and a laughter-ex-
hausted audience sighs in relief.
Through all this h~odge-podge runs
music of the dainty, jingly sort that
demands encores innumerable. One of
the biggest hits is the "Yama Yama''
long and dance, made famous by Bes-
sic Mccoy. and gracefully given here
by Ada Gordon. "Cuddle Up a Little
Closer, Lovey Nine" is .p~leasingly sung
by Daisy Leon, with a background of
tableaux p~ortraying the seven ages
cuddling.
Clifton Crawford proves himself a joy
tn the role of Tom. There is a sug-
gestion of irresponsibility about his
playing that makes his efforts seem i'm
promptu. His singing of AT a Recep-
ton wherein he initiates several
varieties of parlor entertainers. is one
Of the best things of the show.
Good scenery and a pretty, cheerfully
hard-working chorus do much to make
The Three Twins" worth while. Let
us hope that more musical comedies
viii be evolved from lively farces,
topped orr by lyrics and music as
daintily effective as those of Otto A.
Hauerbach and Karl Hoschna.

VAUDEVILLE CARNIVAL" AT THE
AMERICAN MUSIC HALL BEGINS.

"A visitor to the American Music Hall
this week may be thankful for an en-
tirely original and at the same time
funny act. Clever in it's conception the
sketch of Atwell and Terry proved the
hit of the performance. Atwell comes
on the stage to announce that his part
ner has disappointed him, and that,
with the indulgence Of the audience, he
will try to dol the best he can. A
messenger. true to life and therefore
slow, appears with a message from the
absent partner. This, of course, is
Terry, but 1t is some time before the
audience realizes it. The developments
which follow are clean and most d.
verting.
Another big feature of the "vaude-.
Vile carnival" so called, was the reap
pearance in this city of Cliff Gordon,
known all over the country as the
German Senator Gordon can twist
the English language into more knotty
knots, in a shorter time than any man
living, and the thread of his discourse.
which is in the form of a political
speech, is never lost, even though the
speaker is often in peril of laundering
in the sea of mispronounced words.
Harden, brother of Houdini, the
"Handcuff King presented his usual
Iock-defying act. This is an act with
which the public. is pretty familiar but
which has nevertheless a fascination
about it which is. attractive to many
theatre-goers. How he gets put of a
water-fil1ed can continues to be q mys-
terry to the audience.
The occasion also marked the debut
on the vaudeville stage of Miss Isabel
Gcmpers, daughter of the labor leader,
Samuel Gompers. Miss Gompers has g
charming voice--true and yet hardly
full enough to fill the theatre. Perhaps
Miss Gompers was nervous and it is
entirely possible that, with her natural
gifts, she may become one of the head
liners of vaudeville. At present, how
ever, she is much in need of adequate
training as she is utterly untitled for
vaudeville work. AS a parlor enter
tainer she might be delightful.
Brenck's Partisan Models in porce-
lain and bronze were, for the greater
part, artistic creations, particularly the
one called 1.-THE Vase" Mr.. and Mrs
Arthur Forbes were heartily welcomed
in their ever-new skitch, entitled "a
