Richard CarIe at the Grand.

As a Romeo he may be an onion, but as a purveyor of rollicking fun. Rich ard Carle's gambol over the stage In 'Mary's Lamb" is the real article. Makers of musical comedy nowadays strain their imagInatIons in trying to force down the throats of the public a bunch of Jingly ragtime. with a so- called plot hanging together on the slim thread of popular slang-hOdge- podge stun with a lot of chorus girls that come in at most inoppertune times and mechanically run through gyrG- tons of both voice and legs.
 It was different last night at the Grand when Richard Carle stood spon- sor for ''Marys Lamb" Carle wrote the music, the lines. and threw in some new business all through. So different was 1t that an audience which packed the new theatre forgot all It's cares In laughing at and with a natural come alan.
 The troubles of a henpecksd husband furnished the thread of the plot, but really Carle has solved the musical comedy puzzle in giving the right com bination of pretty girls who have some voice and many brilliant changes of eostume-but more. the natural come dian himself
 Can Carle make an audience laugh? Ask anyone who witnessed the per- formance Friday night. His grotesque facial expressions, his famous dress suit that was once a vest with sleeves added" produced laughter until the tears streamed-and then soma.

 It was planned to take all the vis- itors including the band, on an auto bile trip. But only enough automo- piles to carry some seventy of them were secured. These were taken through all the residential section as we'll as the business section. To show Mayor Rose the excellent county roads. he was taken to the southern part of the city.

The night force of The Advertiser is under obligation to the Mayor Rose Marching Club for q delightful band serenade. The club, headed by the few minutes before 8 o'clock Friday night, and. reaching The Advertiser Ofice, on the corner of Dexter Avenue and Lawrence Street, where a hale was called.
 The club, headed by its splendid band. made an impressive appearance. Each member of the club wore duck trous- CTS and a serge coat, and each carried cane. The marchers, who numbered probably hundred and fifty, were thrown into a line up and down Dexter Avenue.
 The band then took its position in front Of The Advertiser otfice and struck up a medley of Sounthern airs. A large crowd had already collected. Applause greeted 'old Black Joe" and others of the old-time favorites. But everybody eheered when Dixie was reached.
 In the meanwhile, the marchers passed through some beautiful evolu- tions in front of the postofice. The broad expanSe of Dexter Avenue offer ed an excellent parade ground. In close order and in platoons the club went through evolutions in a manner that would have reflected credit on soldiers of the regular army. The crowd was pleased with the display, and 1t freely complimented the Milwau- keeans.
 The band was no less highly compli- mented. Comment was made on the youth of many members of the band, and surprise was expressed that per- formers so young could do so well. It was the general opinion of the crowd that none of the minstrel bands of the present season approached the excel fence of the Milwaukee performers.

 And If you enthused. you were told. "He is a winner. Why, sir, he would make a President such as Grover Cleveland was"
 Of course, the ostensIble purpose of the visit was to show Montgomery what a wonderful city Milwaukee is. But the cheer of the city soon caused most of the 100 visitors to forget all about Milwaukee; so they talked about Rose, whom they cannot forget. until any listener would think that he was in a florist shop. And when they let ID on Rose, they talked about beer and anti-prohibition, for Mayor Rose is President of the Model License League, and they are all Rose Marchers.
 Beer Harms No One.
 q cannot conceive" said Mayor Rose at the Commercial Club. "how the Dem ocrats of the South can allow prohihi- ton when 1t Is against all the princi- nlaR for which they stand namAiy. those based upon personal liberty. Beer harms no one and does every one good.
 Take Milwaukee,: Last year she had less drunkenness than any prohi- bition city in the country. Our crim- inality was less than any city of its size and it's all due to the way our saloons are regulated, We don't be- lieve in short hours, either. They are always open from one end of the year to the other.
 ''To have prohibition Is to infringe upon the rights given us in the DecIa- ration of Independence. We were al- lowed complete liberty, provided that liberty did not cause us to injure some other individual Let every man act according to his own taste. Certainly beer never hurt anybody.

 Evexyb0dy Drinks Beer.
 sEverybody in Milwaukee drinks beer and everybody Is healthy We feed 1t to the babies. And we are all ways aaw-abiding. We don't ever close our saloons. 4 man can get a drink et akoscioek in the morning as we'll as h the afternoon. We believe that if he wants a drink then. he wants 1t just as much as at any other time and should have it. If he gets his drinks when he wants them he-isn't likely to accumulate too much.
 It is an infringement on our rights to be told thatgwe can not do as we wish, when we are not interfering with the rights of others. There are many good men who are fighting the Fed eral and State officers in their attempt to carry out prohibition laws. They are really noble. for they are lighting just as sturdily for their, liberty as did their forefathers. ."
 These remarks were hailed with an outburst of applause.

The officers Of the Utah state League
win hold a meeting today. This meet
ing has been delayed for nearly three
months awaiting the outcome Of the
proposed Intermountain League. While
none of those who have been interested
in baseball in the past in either salt
Lake or Ogden have received a word
from the promoters Of the new league,
yet the officials of the state league,
from President Tobin down, feel 1t is
a duty they owe the fans of the state
to overlook the slam at the present or
ganization in hopes something better
might turn up. Ii is for this reason the
state league has been inactive. After
waiting more than reasonable time,
however, the officers Of the state league
feel it is a duty they owe the public to
get together and either find out If the
proposed league is to amount to any
thing or IL il is the same hot air that
has annually been peddled out. II the
invaders mean business. it is more
than likely that the Utah State League
will get in line as the biggest boosters
in the state and give way to the larger
organization.
There is no question but that every
member Of the state organization hopes
this to be the case. yet they will. ask
and have a right to know just what the
plans OF the Grim-Lucas crowd are. II
the latter are wise. they will gladly
give them out. but If the invaders
carry out their same line of secrecy
and ignore the fans of the state. as they
have done ever since the league talk
started, they may meet a little opposi-
ton in both salt Lake and ogden.
