RUDOLPH AND ADoLPH.

Mason and Mason. supported by Hines
and Remington. the laughing stars of
vaudeville, and an excellent company,
will present the screaming farce come
dy Rudolph and Adolph" at the Towle
Opera House on Friday, jan s. AS the
title implies their entertainment is not
one intended to supply mental pabulum
to minds raving enlightment on the
deepest physiological and psychological
subjects, nor does it present a social
problem or dramatic solution. Tt is
projected rather as a pleasing melange
o fun, frivolity, dance and song con-
cocted, merely with the idea of tickling
the popular palate and of bringing a
smile to the wrinkled face of care. This
is the realm of comedy which Mason
and Mason have entered and their en-
tertainment is intended to amuse rath-
er than to instruct, and they desire to
add to the gaiety rather than to the
wisdom of the nation. Their play "Ru-
dolph and Adolph," which was written
especially for them and to fit their in
dividual methods, is a farce with rather
more of a plot than is generally found
in such plays. but the plot is not of
such consistency as to obviate the pos
sibility OF introducing songs, dances
and other specialties, with these the
entertainment will be literally inter-
persed. Mason and Mason themselves
will sing three songs written for them
and used exclusively by them. Other
specialties will be presented by Hines
and Remington and other members of
the cast

THE THREE TWINS.

The Three Twins" which will be the
attraction at the Towle Opera House
Sunday matinee and night, Jan. 10. is
offered without fear of contradiction
as the most gigantic musical comedy
on the road 1t had the distinct honor
of receiving the universal press criti-
cisms on its opening in New York at
the Herald Square theater. it also had
a run of Ave months at the Whitney
Opera House in Chicago 1t is the
most elaborate staged production in
America and is said to contain more
novel features than all the other mu
steal comedies. The faceograph and
the electrical arial swing are distinct
novelties, the latter being one of the
most wonderful pieces of stage craft
ever perpetrated. 1t is a wonderful
steel structure weighing over 1000
pounds and illuminated with over 1000
electric lights. 1t requires three ma
chinists, which the company carries,
to handle this one wonderful electrical
effect and takes three large scene
trucks to transport 1t from the bag
gage cars TO the theater. This is only
one of the many novelties.
Mr.. Gates has spared no expense
in staging the attraction and the New
York Telegraph said that it was the
handsomest costumed company on
Broadway. 1t requires two baggage
cars and three coaches to transport
the Three Twins" company, and they
| generally travel by special train. The
company is headed by Victor Morley,
| who was associated with Richard
earle in s.Tha Snrine Chicken" until
| he created the title role in the Three
Twins" at the Whitney Opera House
Chicago. Others in the company are
| Richard Bartlett, George S. Trimble

CENsURE STRICKEN OUT.
reference to President Omitted in
Nevada Resolution.

CARSON, New, February 3.-Prior to
the calling up Of the anti-Japanese reso-
luton in the state legislature today there
was a conference of both political par
ties. and it was decided to amend the
resolution as it passed the assembly to
the extent Of striking out the censure Of
President Roosevelt.
1t was given out that Gov Dickerson
opposed the measure in it's original form.
While he was credited with favoring
the exclusion portion Of the measure, he
did not approve Of the strong language
Of the resolution. Assemblyman Dodge,
the republican leader in the house. stated
openly that he intended to do all in hit
power to defeat the measure. All Of the
republican members of the senate made
the same statement.
Speaker Clifton. who introduced the
measure, has also introduced a bill de-
signed to prevent aliens from holding
lands in the state. Section / reads:
ANY nonresident aliens, except sub
jectS Of the Japanese and Chinese en-
pires, may take, hold and enjoy any
real property or interest in lands in
Nevada, and upon the same terms and
condi lions as any other person"
This measure is in the hands Of the
judiciary committee.
Assemblyman Dodge introduced q reso-
luton asking that fleet Of warships
be maintained in Pacific waters, as "citi-
Zens of Asiatic countries with whom we
cannot mingle on terms conducive to
our interests are rapidly becoming a
menace to our peace and prosperity
mainly from the want Of proper naval
protection"
