OFFERS
ENTERTAINING BILL
Cross and Josephine, "The Fire
Commissioner" and All Leach
Are the Features.

1t was a large and ap~preciative audi
ence that sat through an entertaining
bill at Proctor's Theatre last night. The
laurels were given to Cross and Jose
phine, who presented a comedy skit by
Arthur Denvir, entitled Dying to
Act" This is a travesty on the melo-
drama. and, to quote from the pro-
gram, was given with Song and dance
trimmings" 1t was excellently acted,
and the pleasing personality of the two
players was in no small measure re-
sponsible for their great success. In
time to come more will be heard of
Cross and Josephine.
THE Fire Commissioner" a one-act
play, proved a hit. 1t was presented
by Harrison Armstrong, Inc, the I'm
corporated" end of the cast being a
capable company of four. The playlet
partment and of the stern lesson
brought to the commissioner, through a
fire that endangered the life of his
daughter. 1t is rather melodramatic
and does not ring once.
Al Leech and his Three Rosebuds re-
turn with their laughable schoolroon,
scene. The illusion of the ridiculous is
rather lost through the fact hat the
"Rosebuds" no longer wear the gro
tesque costumes that made them popu.
lar in their budding. James Harrigan,
the tramp juggler, scored as he always
does, and SO did Jack Wilson. The
latter, assisted by a company of two,
played a comedy skit entitled, IAN Up
heaval in Darktown.' Others on the
program We're McAdam and his talking
dog; Musical Huehn; Les Valadons,
Partisan wire cyclists; Charles w. Nc
Donald, the Irish Beau Brummel, and
Gordon and Reyes. eccentric singers
and dancers. illustrated songs, as well
as motion pictures, concluded the bill.

ARCADE PROGRAM CONTAINS
MANY POPULAR FEATURES

Jim Dexter is to be heard at the
Arcade Theatre this week in character
songs, and his rendition of them is so
effective that he will have the same au-
ditors more than once his week. my
Husband Is in the City, inspired bv
that other popular favorite with the
"Hurrah' chorus, is sung by Miss
Katherine Roth, and she sings it very
well, indeed.
Eugene Felt sings the illustrated
songs this week. THE Midnight Alarm
as he renders it is very effective.
What should be a popular feature of
Thursdays new bill is the Comedy
Twins in ME and He" The Comedy
Twins are strangers to the Arcade, but
1t will not take them long to become
favorably known. Lander and Allen,
with Bobby Fields. will be seen in
"Paree." Fields will be seen as "Kon-
%sulito,' the trained monkey

PAT WHITE CONTINUES TO
AMUSE CROWDS AT EMPIRE

Casey Among the Stars" continues
to exert that pulling power with au-
diences which was so noticeable at it's
premiere Saturday night, when the
Empire housed the largest crowd in it's
history. Those who staged and wrote
this new burlesque apparently had their
ears to the ground to catch the first
hint of the public wish in productions
of the kin as the comic opera Tea
lures which supplant some of the
straight burlesque stunts, have proved
decidedly popular. Pat White never
had more opportunities to exploit his
droll humor and he does not let a single
one of them slip by.
The burlesque is supplemented by
several excellent features in the olio.
Oscar Lewis and Sam Green were
funny in their farce entitled "Engag-
ing a Cook" The closing farce, "Dr.
Dunn Outdone." preserves all of the
old burlesque features and is effective.

AL REEVES DRAWS BIG
CROWDS TO WALDMANN'S.

Al Reeves Ind his bunch of pretty
girls are repeating their success of the
opening night at Waldmann's Theatre.
1t is the verdict of those who are fam
iliar with Reeves work that this is the
best vehicle lie has had since he has
been appearing in Newark. There is
not a dull moment from the rise to fall
of the curtain. Songs, dances and
dialogue, all new, fill in every mo-
ment.
Proof of the popularity of the
comedian is being given twice every
day through the size of the audiences
which greet him. The engagement is
for the entire week with matinees
every day.

snip c o foVerSy
this winter, there is another contest on
that promises to make up for any dis
appointment in that direction. This
is the Cannon-Parsons bout, and if
such affairs were fought out in the
squared circle instead of the political
arena the announcer would step to the
middle of the ring. elevate his chin,
scowl deeply and then probably intro
duce the men as follows:
Gents an odders. dis bout is at a
hundred an tifty-eight pounds, Queens
berry rules. See? De guy in dat cor
ner is Herb Parsons of New York De
odder guy is Joe Cannon of Illinois.
Shake hands. youse. an de foist bloke
wot hits in de clinches gifts his Stats
pushed in. See?"
All joking aside. however. the amaz-
ing charge Herbert Parsons congress
man from New York and chairman of
the New York Republican county com
mittee, has made against Speaker Can
non and his own party has caused
great sensation throughout the coun-
try. and the affair promises to develop
history of politics. Mr.. Parsons
charges that Tammany Hall entered
into deal with up state Republicans
to defeat the efforts of New York city
Republicans to perfect the signature
law during the last legislative session
in Albany and a part of the deal was
that Tammany should support Speaker
Cannon and the rules of the house of
representatives. He also claims that
the Republican representatives of New
York city were not informed of the
deal either from Albany or Washing
ton.
This charge followed the declaration
of the county chairman that Tammany
was planning wholesale frauds in the
coming election and that most compre-
