edian. Rollicking melodies, fetching dances, brilliant scenery, pretty girls, clever principals, go to make 'The Leading Lady a new standard for the so-called girl acts of vaudeville.
 Barrows, Lancaster. & Co.,, the per ennial favorites, have revived their splendidly successful comedy sketch, ''Tactics'' and the reception accorded them last evening should leave no doubt as to their wisdom in treating vaudeville patrons to another glimpse of this delightful playlet MT. Bar rows has become the northerner this season. Heretofore he was the fiery old southerner. MT. Lancaster re- mains as the Annapolis cadet Joseph Eggenton and Frances Golden as Colonel Stafford, c. S. A, from Texas and his daughter, are capable assist ants Time only adds value to such piaylets as these. To see them a sec ond time is like hearing a favorite old song or reading a favorite poem. Fortunate indeed were the vaudeville goers when such artists of the legiti- mate stage as James O. Barrows and John Lancaster decided to enter the varieties. Their reward is written in leading vaudeville circuits. Their re- vival of tactics is in response to a popular demand.
 Kalmar & Brown, exemplifying the poetry of motion in every move, fn- troduce splendid dancing act There. are songs, too, but the dancing is the feature-such dancing as only Conan and Dazie present. Although handf- capped by their late position on the bill, they scored a big hit last night Bowman Brothers, the Blue Grass boys, in real black face fun, con vulsed everyone with their original style of entertainment One of inc novelties of the act is the exposition of how the minstrel boys prepare for the stage. Hill, Cherry 6 Hill in a riotously funy bicycle act closed the program. Corinne Francis, dainty comedienne, sent an electric shock through the audience when at the conclusion of one of her demure singing numbers s.she developed sud- den desire to kick off the top of the proscenium. When the audience in sisted that she come back for an en- core. she disappointed the enthusiasts, singing the chorus again and elirni- hating the high kicks. Ernie and Mildred Potts opened the program with singing, dancing and, bag punch ing, and the e1ectrograpii, which this week has wandered into the middle of the bill. depicts something , in W hich no one appeared to work UT much interest

AMERICAN SUGAR REFINING CO.

Very important changes in the di- rectorate of the American Sugar Re- fining Co. are promised at the annual meeting of stockholders on January 12. Instead of re-electing a group of directors composed for the most part of officials and employees or the com pany, it is proposed to broaden the scope of the directorate and take in men of wide business ability who will give to the governing body of this big corporation the benefit of great breadth of view.
 New England stockholders in parti- cular, who own some 60 per cent of the S90,00o,000 preferred and com mon stocks, are to be given direct representation on the board in the persons of Edwin F. Atkins and Samuel Carr of Boston and Edwin S. Marston of New York. MT. Marston is president of the Farmers Loan & Trust Co.,, one of New York's largest financial institutions, and goes on the board as the representative of the New England interests in the cor poration.
 MT. Atkins is a practical sugar man of many years experience and is generally considered as one of the leading merchants of Boston. His own sugar investments in Cuba have kept him in close touch with practi- cal sugar matters for the past 25 or 30 years. MT. Carr is one of the ac- tive trustees of the big Ames estate and is to enter the board not only in the interest of the Ames estate but as a business man of wide expert ence.
 Another election to the directorate which has elicited much favorable comment is that of Samuel c. Hook CT of Philadelphia. one of the ablest beet sugar men in the country. Dr. Hooker. who is a refining expert. has been placed at the head of the Have meyer & Elder refinery at Williams hurv and is in charge of the thOrOugl1 organization of this important plant

ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

It is rare that writer even as greatly and familiarly loved as Rob- ert Louis Stevenson or even g. Mar ion Crawford. touches that little home ly chord of humor which vibrates along the commercial line for years after the writer has passed on. Mar ion Crawford individualized Italy until we almost feel ourselves experiencing his views and sensations; and even today. his presence. locally sharing 1t. Robert Louis Stevenson has given to Literature the faculty of taking us to the South Sea Islands, and even mak- ing us feel that they were not only his domain. but that he still lives and particularly strong in this welcome delusiveness. Ebb-Tide Is probably more prodigal in the use of harsher expressions of the rougher Nomadic sons times than any other of his works; but the characters like the au- thor. seem to live.
 Stevenson was always homesick and brief references to old home things frequently occur in his writings. In Ebb-Tide on page forty-eight he makes old Captain Davis. who with his com panions, has long hungered and thirst ed, say "Food2 Yes. Beer? Beer it is" Leave me alone" says the clerk breaking the necks of the bot ties with a lump of coral Then Capt. Davis rejoins Beer it is. and plenty of it. Any number of persons can use it with perfect propriety. like pr. Lyons Perfect Tooth Powder-yes, sir. with propriety and neatness." Some stIcklers for style in literature se- verely criticise Stevenson for such ref erence. He never offered any apollo gies. however. further than to inti- mate that he knew of nothing so well known to the reading public as pr. Lyons Tooth Powder, which really was like an old friend of the family, especially families of refinement, even as far back as Good Friday, 1866.

Easily the best vaudeville bill of the season for the average theatre goer attracted enthusiastic audiences to Polls yesterday afternoon and evening. Patrons had to dodge rain 'brellas to force their way through the storm, but once inside the theatre they were well repaid. Headed by B. A.

Magnetic, pretty. graceful, and naturally a comedienne, she was an instant favorite- It tells the old story of the earl after the American heir ess' coin.

In answer to Mr.. Aliens criticism in

the matter was fully explained TO him
by myself before he had penned the ar
ticle.
The 1909 jury box was made up from
the names left in 1908 box after the full.
quota of juries for that year were
drawn, and such new names as were
drawn from lists to make up the numer-
ical deficiency And the same way with
other years. Hence IL sometimes hap
pens that the same name appears twice
