 RAGE TRACK LAW

Albany, October n.-An attack is to be made upon the constitutionality of the so-called Agnew-Hart anti-race track gambling law. Formal notification to this effect was served upon the court of appeals today, when arguments were heard on the question whether oral bet ting constituted bookmaking. John B. Stanchfield and Joseph s. Auerbach, coun- sel for Orlando Jones, and Sol Lichten- stein, who were indicted on a charge of bookmaking, and later discharged from custody on an order of the courts below. reserved the right to urge at the proper time their objections to the constitution ality of the new law, saying:
 This question will be fully raised in other litigation which, in due time, will reach the court of appeals"

At the Hippodrome.

A wholesome, well balanced, entertain ing bill, with specialties that are orig inal-such is this weeks offering at the Hippodrome. The Masses-Ed and Net tie-lead the bill with a juggling turn that was refreshingly unique. Miss Ger trude VanDyck, in her impersonations of favorite stage figures, was petite and captivating, exceedingly clever and wholly pleasing. James O. Wise performed ar tistically with the crayons, drawing good pictures and introducing an incidental monologue that was humorous and well delivered.
 Kane and Kanter, in their "comical sketch composition made clever of- fering in the vaudeville specially line, Miss Kanter showing up with much abil- ity in her three excellent Representations of the Bowery girl, the rural lass and the society belle. Fox and Ward were good in black face comedy, and Miss Mamie Malock completed the bill with pleas ing contralto solo. The Hipposcope was a feature. the famous Pathe Freres nim of "The Trappers" being snown Tn detaii as produced by the company Of the Paris Comedie Franchise. Not one numper on the bill was displeasing.

Louis James Praised,

The Columbia, S. c. State says. among other things, of Louis James and Henry VIII, the offering at the Jefferson thea ire tomorrow night and Thursday night:
 Louis James has always stood for the best in the drama. Last night the actor sustained the reputation he has won. In the role of the scheming, crafty Cardinal Wolsey he was at his best. It was in the fourth act-the real climax of the play-that his strong. robust, manly per sonality and his intelligence in the read ing make him an ideal Shakespearean interpreter. Miss Aphie James, in the pathetic role of Queen Katherine, outdid herself and rose to fine heights. The support was excellent and the staging in perfect keeping"
 At the matinee offering here Thursday MT. James will present "A Jealous Wife" preceded by one act of Othello.
