DEMOCRATS NAME
{. F. K|NKEAO FOR
CONGRESS AGAIN
Banner County Convention In
dorses All He and Wood
row Wilson Stand For.

At the First congressional convention,
held in the West Hudson section OF
the banner Democratic county of the
state, Congressman Eugene F. IKE
was last night renominated by acclama-
ton, as forecasted in the STAR yes
terday. The delegates, n there were
nearly $50 of them, mainly from Jersey
City and Bayonne, named their favorite
at Midland Hall, in Arlington, and the
nominee was given a big ovation when
he entered the auditorium.
Assemblyman Edward Kenny, of East
Newark, made no speech beyond briefly
thanking the delegates and welcoming
them to West Hudson. When the
chairman called for nominations for
congressman Charles X, O'Brien, of
Jersey City, in presenting the name of
Congressman Kinkead, dwelt par
tioularly upon the fact that he is eX-
ceptionally we'll qualified for the posi-
ton by reason of the fact that he has
been libel ally educated, had met with
marked success in business, had pre-
viously shown his ~capability in politics
as president of the Street and Water
Board of Jersey City and had in
numerous ways shown that he did and
could take care of his constituents.
The speakers references to President
Woodrow Wilson, Princeton, for Gov
ernor, and to Mr.. Kinkead evoked
storms of applause.
Negro 'Vet." Seconds Nomination.
An unexpected incident was that in
which a negro veteran from the New
Jersey Home for Disabled Soldiers in
Kearny got ahead OF the delegate from
Jersey City and seconded the nominal
ton of Mr.. Kinkead. The vet" said
that he had always been a Republican,
but he changed his politics to vote for
Mr.. Kinkead.
The platform adopted heartily in
dorses the State platform and nomina-.
ton of Woodrow Wilson for governor
and enunciates every principle for
which Congressman Kinkead has
fought and will continue to fight.

Chassino, the shadowgraphist, though
no stranger to this city. pleased as
usual with his unique hand and foot

One of the best animal acts seen
here in the last decade is that OF
Rosina Casselli with her Chihuahua
dogs. The little dogs are wonders,
some of the %gymnsstic stunts they
are put through being almost unbe-
lievable.
Norton, Dills and Martin, three
swell singers;' the Three Fondeliers;
Carl Randall, a clever English singer,
and the moving pictures completed a
most entertaining bill.

THE LADY BUCCANEERS"
WELL GIVEN AT THE EMPIRE.

The performance given by THE Lady
Buccaneers" last night at the Empire
Theatre was a creditable one. 1t was
presented by a company of sweet-voiced
singers and talented comedians. The
two-aot comedy, entitled There Is One
Loon Every Minute" is a screamingly
funny piece, and affords James K. Wat
son plenty of scope to use his ability as
al impersonator of the comic Hebrew,
In which he carries off the honors The
acting and singing of Helen Var Buren,
were also of a commendable order. The

brings forth nan good acts, the best
of which is a game of polo played by
English polo players on bicycles. They
furnish an interesting game. Martin

AT PROCTOR'S THIS WEEK.

Variety is the keynote OF the per-
Torrance at Proctor's Theatre this
week, there being Just a dash of every
thing good in the vaudeville cocktail
which Is served in the pretty little
playhouse.
Though not on the bill as headliners,
Tempest and Sunshine, in one of the
neatest, cutest, prettiest and daintiesr
dancing and singing acts ever seen
here, were easily entitled to share the
honors with William H. Macart and
Ethylynne Bradford.
Tempest and Sunshine were most
heartily welcomed to our vaudeville
circle; their dancing was just right,
their costumes were pretty and, as an
added attraction, they could really sing.
They were like a gust of fresh air
on n terribly dusty day.
Mr.. Macart and Miss Bradford have
a clever offering called "a Legitimate
Hold-up." Mr.. Macart's i-mpersonation

for at times the numbers are forcibly
reminiscent of that international sue
cess, particularly in the galloping song
n dance and in the waltz numbers.
However, this country is quite will

Fall, of Vienna, cares to write, If 1t

the score of THE Dollar Princess"
Franklin Farnum, who succeeded Dom
aid Brian in the role of Freddy Smythe,
sings one of the most effective num-
bers, MY Dream of Love" with fine
sympathy and purity of tone. Mr..
Farnum plays the %nonchalant Freddy
with skill and understanding, causing
his audiences to regret Mr.. Brian's abb
sence not at all.
The story of 1.-THE Dollar Princess is
woven round an American multi-mil-
lionaire and his beautiful. spoiled
daughter Alice. The multi m~illionaire's
particular hobby consists of employing
only titled, i~mpecunious foreigners as
servants. INDECENT members of his
family, who depend on him for their
bread and butter, introduce to him n
lion tanner, one Olga Tartaroff, as a
Russian countess. Olga plans to marry
him for his money but Cowder's eyes
open in time n he makes all sorts
of efforts to break the engagement
without having a suit for breach OF
promise on his hands. Before the final
curtain falls he Is saved by discover
ing that Olga is already married to u
Snowman. interviewer with this Is the
love story of Alice. who succumbs to
the attractions and independent air of
a young Britisher whom she engages as
her own secretary. Another pair Of
lovers who help make things interest
ing are Alice's cousin Daisy and the
Marquis de Jolifontaine. also an en-
ployee Of Cowder
Her Hobbies Appeal.
Daphne Glenn lends a sweet, glrlish
personality to the role of the self
willed Alice. She wears a series of
costumes of the modified hobble order
that make feminine spectators gasp in
slightly-scared admiration. Eileen
Clanford appears to advantage as
Daisy and William Greene is adequate
the marquis. VIII C. Vaudeville is
cast as John w. Cowder, and his de-
pendent relatives, Tom and Dick, are
played, or rather overplayed, by John
L. Kearney and George Edward Reed.
Barbara Darlington plays the adven-
turess, Olga, with a don't-care humor
that Is highly effective. Her dancing
in a cerise hobble own is a marvel.
One wonders how she does it without
sitting down suddenly. This catastrophe
Is only avoided by a sharp Jerk p
uynrd Whenever q kirk little or big.
Is to be accomplished.
The curtain rises promptly at 8
owing to The length of the per-

The Indian, when a very young man.,
bought his wife for something like $500.
To pay for her he borrowed the
amount from his father. When the
husband died, about thirty years later,
he still owed a balance of 500.
Upon the death of the husband the
father attempted to collect the balance
of the debt from the woman, thus at
tempting to make the widow pay for
herself.
The question vas put to the superin-

The question was decided in favor of

comes to drilling. 1t Is apparent that
many new members have been added to
the company. and after a few more
weeks of training they will no doubt

Newark audiences, was present with his
