PROHIBITION AND ST. PAUL,

Prohibitionism can gather little
comfort from the Bible Drink no

for thy stomach's sake, and thine own
infirmities." sayeth St Paul in the

Prohibition is false as to economies

while leading breeders of poverty, be-
ing capitalists and trust magnates.

Perhaps it may be just as well to
point out here that Socialists are I'M
der no delusion with regard to the
drink evil.
They are clearly cognIsant of the
fact that it is largely due to the un-
healthy social conditions that exist,
producing a corruptiag luxury at one
end OF the social scale and poverty at
the other.
They know that with the advent Of
u better social order the drink evil
would disappear without special legis-
lation to cope with It.

will they perceive the necessity for
improving their conditions,

THREE TWINS TO
SPEED HOURS At
NEWARK THEATRE
Clifton Crawford and Merry Col
leagues Will Be Christmas
Week Attraction Here.

L is doubtful il any musical comedy
production that has appeared in
Newark this season has excited
keener interest amongst theatre-goers
than Three Twins which will be-
come the tenant of the Newark Theatre
on Monday, for the holiday week..
Three Twins had its first produc-
zion at the Whitney Opera House, In
Chicago, and for five months played
TO the capacity of the theatre. The
piece was next given a hearing In New
York, and for year remained at the
Herald Square Theatre, where it caused
olase Broadway theatre-goers to
awaken to the fact that at last there
was something new to be offered in the
form of light musical entertainments
Now it has just completed three
months of record breaking business at
the Boston Theatre.
Manager Joseph NJ. Gates brings for
the engagement most of the New York
organization, with Clifton Crawford in
the leading role. Mr.. Crawford's who'll
~ unique of fun-making has
gained for him a great measure of
fame. A particularly well-chosen COM
pany of seventy people. with a colony
of pretty girls, ably assist in the pot
pourri of comedy n song. The pro-
duction is beautifully staged with it's
bewildering array of costumes and
brilliant scenic accessories. The mu-
steal numbers offer many opportunities
for the introduction of novel electrical
n mechanical effects, notably The
Yama Yama Man." THE Seven Ages of
Guiding" and THE Girl Up There
Three Twins has for It's book of
adaptation, made by Charles Dickson,
of Mrs. Pacheco's farce, "Incog." The
music was written by Karl Hoschna,
and lyrics supplied by o. A. Hauerbach.
The story has abundant comedy, which
results from the ludicrous mis-adven-
lures of three young men whose
resemblance, one to another, is so close
that they ear be classed only as the
three twins. Their love affairs furnish
the requisite tangle for a host of
amusing situations. There will be matt
nees on Wednesday and Saturday, with
a popular scale of prices prevailing at
the former.
