NAT GOODWIN AND
EDNA GOODRICH

Nat c. Goodwin and Edna
Goodrich appeared at the Tacoma
last night in their new comedy
drama, 1.-THE Fastener" and
made a good impression on the
rather small audience that at
tended. No matter what Nat
Goodwin appears in he is always
good. 1t is not his personality
alone, or his clever acting, or his
unconscious stage presence, it is a
sort of general infusion of all his
good qualities that appeal to the
average play-goer, and, from start
to finish last night the play was
Goodwin and not "The Eastern
err"
The play was slightly melodra-
matte, with enough comedy to
make 1T divertingly interesting
Miss Goodrich is god in the emo
tional lines, an dher stage pres.
ence is excellent. The remainder
of the cast carried itself well.
The Goodwin-G Goodrich engage
ment will close at the Tacoma to-
night with a revival of the farcica
comedy in three acts entitled "The
Genius" The play is a comedy
on just those lines which seem tt
fit Nat Goodwin like a glove, anG
those who saw the performance
on the occasion of it's former pres
entation here two years ago wei
remember the pronouncedly fun
ny elements which go to make III
the plot.
Goodwin, as the wealthy young
man who through his money ha.
himself heralded as a genius, il

ty gowns and charming presence

AT THE GRAND.

The Makarenko troupe of Rus
sian singers and dancers, composed
of eight well-trained Russians,
form the feature act at the Grand
next week. The singing is said to
be good, and the native dancing
is claimed to be about the best of
Its kind on variety circuit. The
troupe comes from the Imperial
theater, st. Petersburg, and the
New York Hippodrome.
Horace Mann and Cad Franks
old favorites in Tacoma, will ap-
pear in new singing travesty
which they have named From the
Sublime to the Ridiculous" Both
of the people can sing and dance,
and their comedy is of a clean-cut
order.
Clara Thropp, who is remem-
bered here as talented actress
who starred at the Tacoma thea
ter In Ibsen, has departed from the
Legitimate for comic songs and imi.
tations. In rapid succession she
will impersonate Eddie Foy. Eva
Tanguay, Anna Held, and other
stars.
The Faust brothers, musical
comedians, will appear in an &c.
centric musical act in which they
do everything in pantomime. The
Torleys are novelty cyclists with a
god reputation. They introduce
several new bike" tricks.
"Bandy Legs" is the illustrated
song chosen for Songster George
F. Keane for the week.

1.-THE MERRY WIDOW"

"The Merry Widow" with Hen
ry w. Savage's production in all
it's entirety and company
of 125 people, including the
Madam Butterfly" orchestra, has
at last reached this section of the
country, and will be seen at the
Tacoma theater on Friday and
Saturday and Saturday matinee
June Is and 10.
Elaborate announcements re-
garding this famous attraction are
unnecessary, as its fame is world
wide and interest has already beer
aroused by the mere announcement
of its approaching appearance.

AT THE PANTAGEs.

Prof. Roberts troupe of forty
trained rats, cats and dogs hold
the boards at the Pantages next
week as one of the most unique
and clever animal acts ever given
on a vaudeville stage. Reports
from cities where the show has
been produced are most flattering,
the remarkable training of the
rats being especially praised. The
rodents do tricks together with the
cats and dogs, and cats even carry
the rats tenderly about in their
mouths. They perform ON tight
wires, climb ladders and poles,
and finish the act with "Slide
for Life" from the gallery to the
stage in a swinging trapeze.
The Terry Twins promise to fur
|nish good bit of amusement. The
twins are exact duplicates of each
|other, and have a clever bit of bur-
I1esque acting. The Bard Trio,
hand balancers, are among the
good things. There were originally
four in the company, one of the
members being absent en- account
of Illness. but the act is almost
as good as ever, 1t is claimed.
Marie Hendricks is billed as a
Bohemian lyric soprano. She will
appear in classic selections. Ella
Garrison & Co. appear in a trav-
esty act entitled Tony and Cleo. .
Bert Vincent will sing THE
Rosary" with slides made especial
y for the Pantaees circuit.

cellent comedy is promised.
BURNS-JOHNSON FIGHT
I'M ia CnM

A moving picture reproduction
of the Burns-Johnson prize fight,
pulled off some months ago in
Sydney, will be presented at the
Tacoma theater for matinee and
night performances Thursday.
Friday and Saturday. These pic
lures, said to be marvels of pho
Geographic art, were taken in the
open air during the fight, and the
day was an excellent one for pic
ture-taking. They show every de-
tail of the fourteen rounds of
fighting, from the tap of the first
gong until Superintendent of Po-
lice Mitchell stopped the battle to
save Burns from further punish
ment.
The pictures are reproduced un-
der the direction of Hugh d. Nc
Intosh, the Australian fight pro-
moter, and an expert lecturer ac-
companies them to explain each
detil of>the match.
s'LORD CHUMLEY" TOMORROW
e. H. Sothern's biggest success
will be presented by the McRae
players at the Tacoma four days
of next week, starting tomorrow
afternoon. The play is Lord
Chumley." comedy drama, with
Just enough comedy in the lines
to, buoy the play up and just
enough drama to lend deep heart
interest to the plot. During Soth-
ern's presentation of the piece in
the east he won great praise. and
the play, although never before
brought west, was given a place
of honor among the noteworthy
comedy-dramas of the day.
The title role will be filled by
young Philip Sheffield, Manager
McRae's new juvenile. Mr.. Shelf
field appeared before Tacoma audi
ences for the first time this week
in What Happened to Jones, !"
and bis popularity was assured
from the first performance. He
lie admirably fitted to undertake
the captious part of Lord Chum-
ley"
The plot of Lord Chumley" is
of an original kind, although 1t
is unique in mixing polished ex-
convicts with fashionable society
folk of old London. 1t is a case,
Of course, of the wolf in sleeps
clothing, and Lord Chum1ey comes
to the rescue of the heroine in
time to save her from the villain
and wed her himself.
The cast will be unusually large
and capable, and several elaborate
gowns will be worn by the leading
women.

THE words foo - "quarto, octave duo
i decimo," and the like have almost, if not quite,
lost their original meaning. At first they had refer
ence only to the number of leaves into which the
sheets used in making the book were folded. Thus,
if these sheets folded once the book called
folio; if the sheets folded twice to form
four leaves, the book called quarto; if they
folded four times, to form eight leaves,
the book was called octave; and
The duOdeClmO, I2mO, is an irregular size. To

Finally fold it again across and such shape that it

But though, strictly and historically, quarto, oc.

folding the sheet they are, matter of common
practice, used to specify the sizes of books.

THE SIZES OF BOOKS

such uniformity to be found in the sizes of sheets
But when paper making machines were intro
duced and the use of molds abandoned sheets
came to be made of all dimensions. AS result
quartz and octavos had all sorts of dimensions and
the terms, when used strictly to indicate how the
sheet was folded became worthless designations
of size The use of the old terms nevertheless
not abandoned; but instead they were first used to
indicate a rather wide range of sizes, and finally
attached to certain definite sizes, without
reference to the method of folding.
The practice of the publisher nowadays is first to
determine what size of page he wants The sheet
he uses will be large or small, according to the
capacity of the press at his disposal On that sheet
he may print say eight octave pages or he may print
thrty-two; but he will call the book octave
though by its folding it should be called either
QuartO ONO.
In other words, the publisher calls his book by
the name of that of the old sizes to which 1t
happens to nearest.
The confusion resulting from the changes noticed
here has passed away vet; but efforts have been
made to give definiteness to the old words.
