New York. Aug. 17-Alice blue and
Helen pink are the prevailing colors
of the pajamas and nighties used by
the leading lights of stageland and So
ciety, according to the firemen who
fought a bad fire in Broadway, dag
onally opposite the fashionable Hotel
Astor. early today. Guests in that
Hotel Werner and Bartholdi Inn re-
ceived several rights when a $50 gal
Ion tank of gasoline exploded
Men and women in all stages of I'M
dress filled the corridors and windows
while the more timid rushed to the
street level. All were treasured and
sent back to bed. Bernstine's The

store and DelPs candy shop were
destroyed
The center of interest to the fire
men and crowds was Bartholdi Inn,
which adjourns the burned building.

profession and they made a hasty ext.
carrying dogs, parrots, makeup boxes
and their outer clothing. 1t was the

In front was a dizzy blonde in a
clinging blue gown. She held under one
arm an understood male dog and a
birdcage in the other.
"Algy. Algy, did you get Fifi?" de-
manded the marshal in a stern voice.
Yes. L got the mutt was the dis
gusted reply.
Ponies, broilers. showgirls, ingenu-

damned on the curb and the poll e

the Hotel Astor until the fire was out
and they could get their clothes.

ARRESTED AUTOIST
SHALL BE RELEASED
By Showing Licenses, May 60
on RecOgnizance
New Motor Vehicle Laws Most SEN
sible Provision-Applies, as Well,
to Autoists of Other
States.

It would be well for all policemen
and guardians of the law to carefully
examine what the new motor vehicle
law has to say under Bail and Rec
ognizances, Section 81 1t practically
admits that when a person is caught
violating the law he can not be taken
to the police station, under certain
and g. provision founded on common
sense. In case of arrest for driving
while intoxicated or under the influ-
ence of drugs, or using a motor We
hicle without the permission of the
owner, or in case the violation of law
involves death or serious injury, the
offender may be arrested and carried
away to the police station. In other
cases, IL he shows his licenses he shall
be allowed to go, on his own recog-
nizance. If he does not appear when
wanted, there is all kinds of hot wa
ter for him, but the point of interest
is that he can not be taken to Jail, if
he shows his operators license and
promises to appear when wanted.
The exact language follows: ANY
person licensed under this act who is
arrested by an officer for violation
of any of it's provisions, except those
relating to driving while intoxicated
or under the influence of drugs, or
to using a motor vehicle without the
permission Of the owner, shall, unless
such violation involves the death or
upon showing the proper certificate
for the motor vehicle which he was
driving at the time of said violation
and his own license as an operator,
be allowed to go by said officer. on
his own recognizance; provided, that
if any person so arrested shall fail
to appear for trial at the proper TINA
nj xxyhQY
tice sent by registered mail at leas:
five days before the day of said trial,
to the address disclosed in his said
operators license, his said certificate
or license and all others which rs
may hold, shall be Immediately re-
license or certificate shall be issued to
him within. three months from the
date of such revocation, nor shall any
certificate be granted to any person.
within thirty days after such revoca-
ton, for any Of the motor vehicles the
certificates of which shall be thus
revoked.
be extended to all nonresident op-
orators of motor vehicles residing in
a state the proper authorities of which
shall agree with said secretary to re-
woke, for a period of at least sixty
days. the certificates and licenses of
any owner or operator of a motor We
hicle who shall fail to appear for
trial when summoned as hereinbefore
provided"
The section also provides for per-
son leaving his machine as bail, in
the following terms: ANY person ar
rested for violating any of the pro-
visions of this act may tender as bail
a motor vehicle Of which he is own
,er. and if such vehicle is of suffi
Gent value it shall be accepted as
security for his appearance in lieu Of
any other bail"

"ALIAS JIMMY VALENTINE"
)Crowds Continue to Flock to Polls to
Witness Admirable Performance.

One reason that SO many drastic
Failures have been recorded in the
hast few years because playwrights
have been prone to construct one big
Iscene and around that build their
&play In these days where audiences
Ghave 10 ''be shown one big scene does
hot make q play and because in "Alias
tJimmy Valentine the play produced
by the Poll players this week there
lis intense interest from start to fin
1sh and cfimaxes and anti-olimaxes
Throughout, the secret of the great
fsuccess of the play lies. Candidly 1t
lis a great play, one that one sees
hand talks about and thinks about for
kweeks and months after. True there
bare incidents IN the play in the MAX
hing of which. the playwright might
khave taken liberties but only the
high brow critics would attempt to
kpick flaws. There is nothing in the
kplay which the audience as whole
will take exception to or dispute and
kplaywrights these days write to please
/ the many not the few. The plot deals
Ewfth a famous safe robber of the Raj
fles type. a crook who opens safes by
the combination getting that through
the sense of touch in his delicate fing-
ers. He is pardoned from Sing Sing
where he is doing a ten years bit, he
determines to live straight and per-
Isuades his pals to live straight with
khim. A famous detective keeps on his
trail but the crook eludes him and
almost convinces him that he is af-
ter the wrong man. Then comes a
wonderful scene where a little girl,
the young sister of the reformed
crook gets locked in big vault and
the only man who knows the combina-
ton, is miles away. Jimmy Valentine
is confronted with the problem of saw
ing the child and disclosing himself
or letting her die He does the right
thing, saves the girl and the detec-
tive gets, him. The finale is re-
markable bit of playwriting. John
Ince has the role of Jimmy Valen-
tine and Frank Munroe of the ORR
ginal company is seen as Doyle the
detective They are the two strong
roles in the play and each is splendid
in the part. But there are individual
hits scored by a dozen others notably
John German as Red" Eddie Merri-
gan as "Dick the Rat, Joe Eggenton
as the Warden and Master Rockefel-
l Ter and little Helen Ghetto as the chill
dren. Blanche Hall the new leading
woman Of the company has made an
immense hit with the Poll audiences
and in less than q. week she has won
favor that others might envy after a
seasons engagement here. Director
Eagle has given the play a great
staging and goodly share of credit
must go to him.. The usual special
features between the acts are highly
entertaining as usual and the theatre
is delirhff1rllv cool

EXCUSE me" I'll SEE

Of the most successful of the recent
productions made by Henry W. Saw
age, will come to the Park Theatre,
Saturday, matinee and evening. The
play will be performed by cast
which, individually and as an organi-
zation, is said to distinctly reflect the
unusual skill of Mr. Savage in the
selection of players best able to ex-
tract the greatest possible values
from particular parts and situations.
The company roster includes the
names of many actors who are we'll
known to local playgoers by reason
of their previous appearances here,
notable among them being Geraldine
OBrien, George w. Day, Marguerite
Macklyn, Charles Able, Charles D.
Hermann, Phillip Stats, and WiIfrdd
Seagrim.
AS a production Excuse Me- is
distinct novelty. All of the action
takes place during a trip from Chi
cagO to the Pacific coast, and as a
result the stage pictures show the in
teriors of Pullman sleeper and Ii
brary car, which instruments of mod
ern joWneying have been reproduced
with fidelity that is amazing The
stage settings so nearly approach the
actual that 1t is said they could, if
equipped with trucks and wheels,
cease to be merely reproductions and
become railroad coaches in fact.

INCE HANDSOMER

be heard shouting something about
the business which accompanies the

indicates that she is probably specu-

Zulu "House Boys"

The best Of all servants in South
Africa is Zulu, especially IL he is
raw-that is, fresh from his native
kraal and totally unspoiled by the
wiles Of civilization. Such a "house
boy" is honest, sober, quick, clean and
anxious to learn the ways OF the white
man. He soon becomes as deft as an
English butler and as handy as the
ideal housemaid. He does everything,
from cooking to answering the door,
and after little practice he does it
well. The boys have all manner Of

as sixpence, hickey" threepenny
