1.-THE WEDDING DAY" IN
YIDDISH AT THE NEWARK

1CEao have been seen n the
vaudeville or other stages, Paul
Spadoni IS the greatest and most won
derful and does the most startling and
seemingly impossible things. He will
ne the headline attraction next week
AT Proctor's Park Place Theatre, be-
ginning with the matinee performance
Monday afternoon. He is a German,
remarkable facility in the handling of
articles which are widely different in
size, weight and bulkiness. at the same
time. What attracts greatest atten-
tlon to this feature of his work is his
juggling of an egg and a large-sized
and heavy cannon ball at one time.
He has an assistant in his act, ant the
Two inject considerable comedy into
their performance. Spadoni juggles
heavy articles of furniture, of various
sizes and weights, with as much ease
as the average juggler toys with or
snges or plates or other small things
of the anne size and weight. His most
remarkable feat Is lone with cannon
balls. His assistant hurls them at
him with the strength and rapidity at
his command. and he catches them ola
the muscles of the back of his neck
in a fashion which would seem TO near
~ knock him down. He balances
above his head a full-sized automobile,
which he uses daily and which is driv-
en- on the stage under its own power.
and introduces other equally astonish-
ing novelties, winding up his perform
ances by catching a cannon ball which
is actually shot from a small cannon
with a charge of powder.
Miss Ami Riard and Mr.. Lester Lon
ergan viii hold place on the bill with
their sparkling legitimate comedy
playlet, entitled AN Idyl of Erin" 1t
is the work of Mr.. Lonergan. and the
stage settings are beautiful. making
the act one of the daintiest to look
upon of I'll the vaudeville offerings Of
the season. Both principals are clever
and have already made their mark in
some of the biggest and best musical
comedies which have appeared upon
the American stage. They will be as
sisted by Eddie Phelan and Edgar AL
len, also clever actors.
Merriest Sort of V-entriIoquism.
Marshall Montgomery, one of the
n1ost9 remarkable- ventriloquists of the
present age, will add materially to the
merriment Of the show during the
week. Miss Willettee Whitaker. as
sisted by F. Wilbur Hill, will also con-
tribute largely to an exceptionally good
program with her perfect d%elineations
of the Southern negro preacher at pray
er n otherwise. Charles W. Bowser,
Edith Hinkle and company will present
a modern playlet by Oliver White, en-
titled "Snperstition.' The Great Err
gotti and his troupe of lilliputians will
also provide an interesting and enter
tanning number of the bill. The tiny
strong men will do some remarkable
feats. Sam Dody, an old-tirne singing
comedian. Will do one Of the most
pleasing turns" On the bill. The Jug
Cling Barretts viii hold attention all
the time they are on the stage, and
the show viii close with a new reel OF
moving pictures OF more than ordinary
Z interest.
There are daily changes OF moving
pictures in the other Proctor theatres,
the Lyric, in Market street, and the
