charming personality to her numbers.

ing, bright comedy, and excellent dane
ing. Flo Zoeller and a pair of bright

"GettinE q Polish"

May Irwin, One would like to salute her
with the old Turkish salutation: May
your shadow never grow less" For 20
.undity and jollity seem to go together.
and although one should, ordinarily, be
bit chary about speaking of a lady's
avoirdupois she makes SO much fun of
1t herself and gets so many laughs. out
OF it that we may, perhaps, be pardoned
for taking the cue from her and carry
ing the joke bit further.
It wouldn't make any difference who
wrote play for her: she would still be
May Irwin, one of the cleverest and
most unctuous condolences on the Amer
lean stage: but in this instance she has
been fitted with a vehicle written by
Booth Harrington and Harry Leon WI
son. though to hear the dialogue you
might imagine that that other Hoosier.
George Ade, had had a considerable hand
in it, For its dialogue fairly sparkles in
places; its repartee and quip are natural,
spontaneous, clever, and above all, funny;
and they give Miss Irwin a glorious op-
portunity for that excellent comedy work
in which she is without a peer.
or course. Getting a Polish has a
story, but it is. in its fundamentals, a
pretty ancient story. 1t is the story of
a clearinghouse keeper in the town of
yellow Dog who has half interest
in mine which has been worked for ten
years without yielding any results. Then
one day the real vein is struck, and Mrs
Jim is rich beyond the dreams of avarice
Thereafter the plays action is in Paris
where Mrs. Jim and her partner. John
Blake are trying to get out of life all
that money will give them. OF course. the
woman who made a living washing has
rather extraordinary ideals, both for
herself and her nephew and niece. ana
the progress of the play shows how these
ideals are shattered and how, after taSt-
ing prosperity to the full, Mrs. Jim and
her partner find themselves sufficient for
each other, and think of yellow Dog as
a haven of refuge after the most expen-
sive hotel in Paris.
There is only one point in which audi
ences are likely to find fault with Miss
Irwin-she does not sing enough. In the
prologue she has one Song-excellent, but
there is not enough of it, and in the
third act she sings two more-one a coon
song-as only she can sing them and the
other a revival of our old friend of fifteen
or twenty years ago, Teaching McFad-
den to Waltz"
Naturally, the greater part of the bur-
den of the comedy falls on Miss Irwfn's s
shoulders She has a company that is ex-
cellent in what it does, but its chief
function is feeding Miss Irwin and giving
her opportunities for fine comic situa-
tions. And Miss Irwin takes such good
advantage of her chances that the audi
ence is kept laughing all the time she Is
on the stage. There is a laugh in every
minute of this comedy-good, clean, hon.
est laughs-and the beauty of the whole
thing is that Miss Irwin seems to enjoy
them, and to grow fat on them, as much
as anybody else.
This is not an elaborate comedy that
makes you worry about the plot; It is
just a good wholesome laugh show. full
of fun and enjoyment from beginning to
end. HECTOR FULLER.

lesquers' are the attraction at the New

tertainment that Is far above the average.

maker, and received a big reception from
the two capacity houses yesterday. His

obstacle races among the patrons when
the same were introduced several weeks
ago. the management Of the skating
auditorium at the Arcade has decided
to hold another one this evening.
The contestants will this time be con-
fronted with q more difhcult task than

after the grand march. which usually
takes place at 80 O'CLOCK, and the race
will probably start at 9:6 o'clock, q
quarter Of an hour later.

THE CASINO.

The excellent vaudeville bill at the
Casino Theater this week contains sew
eral clever and well-known entertainers.
At least two of the acts would under
ordinary circumstances be considered
unusual features. but the favorite, judg-
ing from the applause yesterday. was
undoubtedly Nat Carr. who instantly
made himself the hit of the Casino sea-
son. Mr.. Carr rendered in an inimit-
able manner ragdme, Italian, and He
brew dialect songs. but it was as a
monologist that he proved superior to
anything of the kind heard at this
theater since it first opened its doors
His fund of stories and jokes-all abso-
lutely new-appeared inexhaustable. An
other big hit was achieved by Mary
Hampton and company, in comedy
sketch entitled Peggy which, IN
story, appeared to be a condensed and
moderniZed version of Peg Wellington"
or David Garrick," in that an actress,
the role assumed by Miss Hampton, en-
deavorS to kill the love of an admirer
at the request of his father. Miss Hamp-
ton. who has been leading woman for
Charles Frohmans companies, and with
Mr.. E. Fl. Sothern, was admirable in
the playlet. and was we'll supported by
Edgar F. Girard and S. f. Riggs. Other
sterling acts were Sam Barton, in thrill
ing bicycle riding, his specially consist
ing of riding various single wheels, clos
ing with a feat in which he rode single
wheel, the saddle being at least twelve
feet above the stage: Belzac. who proved
to be an expert soloist on the violin,
rendering ragtime selections and
beautiful number played on one string.
and Harry Lorraine. a black-faced COM
-edian, who pleased with several charac-
terstic songs and a monologue. The
motion picture plays were unusually in
tereSting.

PAT ON RECIPROCITY.

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Washington, June 24.-It became
known at the capitol today that Presi-
dent Taft, talking over the long dis
tance telephone from Providence last
night, repeated to several senator's his
determination to veto the Canadian
reciprocity bill in case any amend
ment is added to It.
Senators accept the presidents ulti-
matum on reciprocity as applicable to
notifications which might be made
at the instance of Republicans as well
as Democrats.
Will Be Taken Into Courts.
The ultimatum over telephone by
President Taft is taken to include
amendments originating. ON the Repub.

Many senators have received tele
grams and letters announcing a pur.
pose on the part of the farmers to
test the constitutionality of the pro.
posed reciprocity law If it receives
less than a two-thirds majority in the
Senate. This position is taken on the
ground that as the bill carried into ef-
feet the provisions of a treaty, It
should receive the vote in the Senate
necessary to render treaty effective.

Detail.

The route that DeVargas covered

September 1892. when he recaptur-
ed this city from the Pueblo Indians
after they had held ii twelve years,

Federal street to Lincoln avenue,
thence to San Franciso street to
Seligman street TO Palace avenue,
thence west TO the Old Governors

will be greeted by the Indian chief
tains and their followers.

Vargas. after dismounting, will for
mally take possession of the city. He
will read the proclamation issued in
1892 by De Vargas and of which Hon.
B. NJ. Read, the historian. has furnish

Every effort is being made to have
the pageant historically correct, to
follow the costumes of that period to
the minutest detail and to reproduce
faithfully as far as possible the scene
of that September day 213 years ago
when the coming of DeVargas re-es-
tablished Spanish domain over the
Southwest.
After the pageant, the cavalcade
will take it's position in the grand
parade which will include fifty or

will take part in the pageant and
have promised to come in their most
brilliant war array The retinue of
Don DeVargas will include the men,
bers of the Americana Hispana AL
LAMA. Altogether it will be a bril-
liant display that will reflect glory on
Santa Fe and will establish founda-
ton for pageant each year that will
make the old town famous the world
over.
Yesterday afternoon the principal
participants had a practice march
and report that everything is now
ready for the final demonstration.
