VAUDEVILLE AT
THE MAJESTIC

There should be a large attend
ance at the performance of "A
Knight for a Day. in the Majestic
theatre on Saturday, May %, as that
will be the last play to be presented
at this house. Counihan &c Shannon
announced today that the theatre
will hereafter be devoted to vaude-
vile at popular prices.
Owing to the tremendous success
which has attended their new de-
parture, the management has decid.
ed to make 1t a permanent feature
giving the cream of the variety world
at prices within the reach of every.
one. This plan will be followed all
year round.
In discussing their policy, the
managers stated that they will con
tlnue to give three shows a day, with
seven acts at ten cents all over the
house, throughout the summer
Commencing with the opening of the
regular theatrical season early next
fall they will inaugurate different
system whereby even larger and
more elaborate shows will be given
There will then be but one perfor-
nance each evening, commencing al
S:15 o'clock, and the prices will be
ten, twenty and thirty cents. All
that is good in the two-a-day realm
Will be brought to this city under
the new arrangement, and the same
aggressive spirit displayed by the en-
terprising firm of Counhan & Shan
non in the past will be more thar
ever evident in their future dealing
Perth Amboy evening news., 1909-05-12

with the theatre-going public of this
city and adjacent towns.
1t was not decided to convert the
Majestic into a vaudeville theatre
until thorough survey of the situa-
tion had been made and the tastes
of amusement lovers in Perth Amboy
ascertained. Extraordinary as the
welcome accorded to the latest move
at this house has been, the proprie-
tors would not have decided to abo-
lish the production of legitimate at
fractions here had 1t not appeared
that vaudeville is what the people
want, that is to say good vaudeville.
Counihan & Shannon do not intend
to. abandon the legitimate field alto
gether, as they will continue their
present policy at the New Plainfield
theatre and may erect playhouses in
one or two other places for the pre-
sentation of big productions. This,
however, is problematical and will
not interfere in any way with their
Perth Amboy business.
Contrary to false reports, the Ma
jestic will not pass out of the hands
of Counihan & Shannon, but will re-
main under their direct supervision
as in the past, thus insuring the
same uniformly courteous, generous
and up-to-date methods as hereto
fore. They have made arrangements
with one of the largest and most in
| fluential booking offices in the coun-
try to engage their acts and will of
fer for the approval of their patrons
the finest novelties of the United
] States and Europe.

ORDERS OUSfED
MEN PUT BACK
State Civil Service Body
Sustains the New Bruns-
wick Street Employees.
PROTECTED BY THE LAW

New Brunswick, May 12-The
State Civil Service Commission, after
hearing testimony here yesterday at
common council chambers on the
complaint of street employees that
they had been discharged without
cause while under the protection of
the civil service act, ordered their
immediate reinstatement at their old
pay. The laborers are: James Reid,
Edward Ennis, John G. Jones, Car
mino Terroro and their foreman,
Henry Gordon. The men had been
laid off in January.
Alderman-at-Large Frederick Wei
gel, who is chairman of the streets
and roads committee, testified that
he felt at the time of the discharge
of the men, as he does now, that the
committee had the right to discharge
them, as the act putting this city
under civil service had not been pub
lished according to law and did not
take effect until February 10, while
the men had been discharged in Jan
uary This act, he explained, was
later repealed before 1t took effect
and the matter was now in the SUI
preme court awaiting decision.
Mr. Weigel said he was perfectly
willing to obey the civil service law
if it applied to this city, and hoped
the supreme court would decide the
matter before this. The committee
had acted in good faith in discharg-
ing the men, and they were let out
because the party in power and re-
sponsible to the people wanted en-
ployes in sympathy with it and in
whom they had confidence as mem
bers of the same faith and house
hold, as 1t were.

The congregation was much in
creased at Simpson Methodist Epis-
copal church last night, the singing
was spirited and inspiring, and the
meeting was helpful one.
The speaker was Rev. William M.
Trumbower, pastor of st. Paul's
church, Jersey City, who came to
Simpson church as pastor thirteen
years ago. His subject was THE In
spiration of Church Propagation.
In discussing the church Mr..
Trumbower took board view of the
subject and declared that the church
really took in such organizations as
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, the Young Mems Christian
Association, the Young Women's
Christian Association, the various
leagues and brotherhoods, fraternal
and benevolent societies, and, in
some sense, even the insurance and
protective associations. He made il
clear that they were the product OF
Christianity, and could not thrive
outside of its pale.
Among the peculiar advantages OF
the church he mentioned these II
preserves order, restraints crime and
lawlessness, holds criminals IN
check, is the best police force in the
world; 1t gives protection to life and
home and property Neither would
be safe without its influence. Nc
man wants to take his family where
the church of God does not exist II
creates a demand for schools and
colleges-is the mother of education
Literature and libraries follow in the
wake of the church. Even the de-
mand for factories, mills, railroads
business and commerce are the out
come of our civilization; and this

Dan p. Pepper, of Philadelphia, County
Engineer Jacob Boune, of Elizabeth,

looking over the proposed route Of the

Up to noon they had practically set
tied on course between Woodbridge

Tremley it would run to Elizabeth, with
a spur into Carteret, Chrome and the
districts comprising Roosevelt

civilization is the child of the church.
Blot it out of existence and what
would follow?
The church makes high standards
of morality in the state, said the
speaker. We should not hear OF
Christian citizenship and civic right
eousness If there were no church.
Graft would reign supreme. The
wave of political reform began at
the altars of the church. The church
lifts the standard Of individual life.
Men who are not professed Chris
tians are better men because of the
presence and influence of the church.
She moulds childhood by early in
struction and training, defective
though her instrumentalities may be.
She sets an ideal for the race. She
offers a divine Christ to a sinful race,
and in the soul of every living hui
man being there IS a sore sense of
need. We all feel that none but this
Elder Brother can meet it.
Mr. Trumbower drew a graphic
picture of the influence of this
church during the ninety years that
have passed away. He named three
devout women-Mrs. Valentine, Mrs
Noe and Mrs. Palmer-whose lives
had been as heavenly perfume in the
atmosphere of Simpson church for
many years.
At the close of the address many
gathered around Mr.. Trumbower and
gave him a royal reception. He was
the guest of Frank L. Harrington, oi
1S1 Brighton avenue.
The speaker for this evening is
Rev. Samuel Trevena Jackson. To
morrow night Rev Wesley Martin
viii speak, and on Friday evening
Rev. DR.. Winfield c. Snodgrass.
