AMERICAN MUSIC HALL
OFFERS FEAST OF GOOD THINGS.

With the all-star bill being presented
this week at the American Music Hail.
hat PLAYHOUSE is more than living III
to the record it has established since
the change of name and management
there. There are laughs galore for this
audience, a few touches of pathos thai
bring tears dangerously near the flood
point, and thrills a-plenty in the numer-
Gus a~crobatic acts that help to make
the show a success.
Chief of these is the turn of the
Ishakawa brothers, four Japanese, for
whose work no adjective less powerful
than that of marvellous is worthy. Their
feats of balancing, strength and agility
are wonderful and won quick appre-
citation. Sharing honors with the ORR
entails in their line is Cailouette, whose
clever performance of feats that would
be startling if presented from the stage
are all the more wonderful when given
on the slack wire. of which Cailouette
is a master. The Wilson brothers, with
their bouncing table, and or the hori-
zontal bars, offered a fine gymnastic
exhibition, in~terspersed with good CON-
edy. Their appearance was to substi-
tute for Rafayette's dogs, whose en-

DOG SACRIFICES LIFE TO
SAVE MASTERS HORSES

ELIZABETH, Nov. 9.-1n a battle
with horse thieves Bruno, the fine st.
Bernard dog belonging to Henry Board
man, a grocer at Westfield avenue n
Walnut street, Roselle Park, sacrlf1ced
his life. The thieves had taken Board
mans delivery wagon from the stable
and were hitching the horse to 1t when
Bruno attacked them.
The thieves shot the animal and then
made their escape, just as Boardman,
aroused by the shooting, appeared on
the scene. The animal pursued the
thieves for half a block, when he coll
lapsed from loss of blood In order to
relieve the dogs dying agony Boardman
fired a bullet in Its brain.
Bruno was the pet of the neighbor-
hood and his untimely fate is sincerely
mourned.

DISHWASHER AT 81 PER

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. s,-Edward
A. Trevelyan, who was notified by tele-
graph last night that he had fallen heir
to an English estate of s1o,oOO,Ooo, gave
up his four-dollar-a-week Job as dish
washer in a local restaurant, Inc start
ed for New York. He was unwilling to
discuss his inheritance until he had seen
his attorney there.
Trevelyan started work at Aliens re-
taurant a month ago. He told the Al
lens that he was the son of a British
army officer, who died penniless. His
fathers brother was a man of wealth,
but was estranged from his relatives.
Arriving in America with his mother,
Trevelyan worked at different mental
positions, earning just enough to keep
them from the poorhouse. His mother
died some time ago.

il may be asked. why does woman

a woman seldom gets from men. and
partly from dread of making a public
failure. When l say that a woman

she is necessarily treated more harshly

The Woman and the sword is a
dramatic romance of the seventeenth
century and no more exciting tale of
that period can be imagined. Gilbert
Charrington is a typical Englishman
of the period who would rather fight
than eat and when this story opens he
is returning, war worn soldier of for

ant cause in Germany and his blade
had been at the service of half the cap

TO lead a peaceful life.
In his absence his brother had died
and made him the guardian of his son.

for his guardianship gave Gilbert the

Christmas Tree: An Interpretat alton
The three works will serve to COM
plete each other and they complete a
cycle OF the theme
After that explanation ii is not fair
TO say that this little study leaves one
with feeling that it is unfinished. 1t is
unfinished, and it will require the other
two books to satisfy the student.
The scene of the Bride of the Mistle-
toe" is Kentucky and Allen has no peer
in writing of this land of history and
romance. His nature descriptions are
poetical and distinctive to degree of
excellence that wants better word
than perfect; but readers who know
"A Kentucky Cardinal and After
math" need hardly that word of
praise.
The scenes take place on Christmas
eve and Christmas day; this joyous
holiday time being selected in order to
bring into more exquisite contrast the
fearful psychological struggle, which
takes place, for the tale is the author
conception of a love from which the
soul has fed, Of a union undermined
by the wear of life.
Taking up the points in Aliens
preface the ''one point on the field of
human nature" is the strong tendency
OF most married couples to drift apart.
The "one subject is the tense moment
when the mans realization of the se-
cret Of his nature is revealed to the
woman and her life's happiness is
crushed out. Then comes the "one
climax" and il is several pages of an
guished description of the woman's
struggle with herself through the night

Allen has maintained the ideal at
mosphere throughout his study OF the
ever vital problem of marriage and
true loyalty Of spiritual as we'll as
physical loyalty. The subject has often
been treated and in the last few years
there nave appeared hundreds OF novels
OF married life; buT no one has ap-
preached IL with such consummate skill
or on SO elevated a plane. IT will be
difficult TO restrain ones impatience for
the appearance of the two remaining
