BROADWAY AFTER DARK" is
LIKED BY COLUMBIA PATRONS

Harry Fields, in the melodrama,
broadway After Dark" from the pen
of John Oliver and under the manage
ment of A. H. Woods, is the attraction
at the Columbia Theatre this week.
Earl Mcclellan as Tom Hall, the leading
man, head clerk of Ross & Co., is
clever, as is Helen Carral, who takes
the part of Flora Ross. Sadie. Fields,
known as Tatters, is very good; Clark
Ross as Clayton Ross, known to Broad
way as Dopey Joe, is applauded many
times during the action of the play; II.
Handworth, who plays Curtis Yorke,
the villain, known as the manager OF
Ross & Co., really a gambler and a
thief, is becomingly brutal.
During the performance Harry
Fields introduces some ~specialties and
makes a hit. The play is full of thrills
and the scenery and mounting is elab-
crate. Yorke c~onspires with DR.. Hagar
and his sister Myra to put Flora out
of the way, but is thwarted in his plans
by Tom Hall. head clerk of Ross & Co.,
who is in love with Flora, and Abe
Mcxie. who has returned from Europe
on the same boat. \.

MISS FRANCESCA REDDING is
AMERICAN MUSIC HALL HIT.

Another good show is offered this
week at the American Music Hall, with
several acts never seen in this city as
stellar attractions. One of the best of
the numbers is the sketch "Honora,"
presented by Francesca Redding and
company. Miss Redding, as an Irish
cook in a wealthy household, who con-
sents to pose as the daughter of the
family in an effort to frighten away
an impecunious English nobleman who
is q sutton for the 1atter's hand and
fortune, gets fun enough out of the
role to keep the audience convulsed
with laughter. The discontinue of the
money-seeking foreigner is foretold
from the moment she undertakes to
take him in hand.
Fred Karno's London Comedy Com
pany, which presents "a Night in an
English Musir Hail." also presents IN
act that is full of hearty laughs for the
spectators. Ward Brothers, eccentric
singers and dancers, who appear in
Scottish costumes, give one of the best
acts of the kind in vaudeville, and Rita
Redmond wins instant success with her
clever songs.
The Aerial LaPorts, described as
''marvels of the air." on the high r
peze, give an excellent performance.
Charles Diamond and Miss Beatrice,
with the harp and saxophone, add
greatly to the musical enjoyment of the
entertainment. George c. Davis, with
original comedy, and Wormwood's bears
dogs help to fill up the really good
bill.

FRED IRWTN'S MAJESTICS
MAKE HIT AT WALDMANN,S

1.-THE best ever is the comment OF
those who have seen Fred Twins Ma
~jestics in their musical production at
Waldmann's this week. Seldom in the
history of burlesque in this city has
such appreciation been shown the eff
forts of a Woodworking cast. Encore
after encore was called for yesterday
with the result that three good hours
of snappy stage work are enjoyed.
With thirteen harmonious male voices
a typical scene during the busiest hour:
of the famous Partisan cafe, Maxim's
is given. Then the audience is amused
by the funny antics of Otto and Louie
Schultzmeyer, the sausage-makers
enacted by Joe Hollander and Gus Fay
Their work later in the prison scene
provokess more laughter.
Florence Bennett. as Mime. Spicosus
the Grand Dame, is well supported il
her songs and representations by
bevy of pretty girls in becoming cos
tunes.

AMERICAN BURLESQUERS AT
MINERS EMPIRE THEATRE.

Miners American Burlesquers pre-
sent foul burlesques at Miners Empire
Theatre his week. The company was
seen to the best advantage in the cur
tain-raiser. THE Song Hits OF the
Season." in which a number of the
broadway stars were impersonated-
Charles Baker, as the late ]. K. Emmett
singing the famous Lullaby made
the hit of the evening and was forced
to answer several encores.
Another feature was the athletic
speciality introduced by the Bennett
sisters. Miss Lura Bennett is adver-
tised as the champion female wrestler
of the world, and Will pay s25 to any
woman she fails to throw in fifteer
minutes. Edgar Bixley, who played
the leading comedy role originated by
Wilbur Dobbs, seemed to be lost.
Henry Fink was good as the Hebrew
comedian. Amy Francis, in the leading
role, was also well received.

he never stepped u of the role. y
is a most unusual, appealing, charming
play, and places the chief performer
securely in the ranks of leading char
acter actors of the country.
Two other acts, Cooper and Robin
son, the overwhelmingly funny team of
negro comedians, and Max Gruber and
Miss Adelina, with their trick ele-
plant, horse n pony, are of a
high order of excellence. OF the re-
naming offerings-Binns, Binns and
Binns. veteran musical entertainers;
Gracey and Burnett. alleged comedians;
Harry Fentelle, Anna Lloyd and Lloyd
Peddrick, singers and dancers; Coun-
tess Rossi and Paulo, vocallsts, and
Alcide Capitaine, gymnasts-the best
that a be said of them is that they
are perfect specimens of "other nun
bers on the bill"

The New PLAYA Success.

1t will be gratifying to the better
class of theatre-goers to learn that
Minnie Nictorson and her company
of artists is booked for an early ap-
pearance here in The Woman
Pays" This is the play which made
such an unqualified success at the
Maxine Elliott Theatre, New York
last season and pleased the critical
London so we'll that the run of the
play has been twice extended. THE
Woman Pays" is an exquisite piece
of dramatic literature by Avery
Hopwood who also wrote CLOTHES"
in which Grace George had such
a successful run. From the food
of rubbish which is deluging the
present day stage it is most refresh
ing to turn to a play which is true
to life and full of human interest
replete with intensely dramatic Sit
uations, enlivened with consistent
and clever comedy

Last Friday evening Michael
Dolan appeared upon Main street
in - a drunken condition. He met
officer Degroat and asked him for a
nights lodging. The officer took
him to the borough lookup. Dur
ing the night Dolan started a
quarrel with "Christy' Rabbit,
another prisoner in the lookup.
Rabbit called officer Canivan when
he came to the cell door. Dolan
became very abusive. The officer
had to use rough means to make the
prisoner behave. On Saturday
Dolan was brought before Burgess
John Kuhbach who sentenced him
to thirty days at hard labor upon
the streets of Honesdale. He said
he lived in Scranton.

she paid no attention to his remarks
and proceeded on her way to the
landing near her home. While in
nidstream she heard the report OF
a pistol-thus far the story is true
but Scranton papers add the follow
ing which Miss Kimble says is un-
true - and almost immediately
felt stinging sensation on the left
hip. She paid but slight attention
to same, but on arising from the
boat, and while on her way to the
house, the intensity of the pain,
called for an investigation, which
was made at her home, when it was
