1M- AUDITORIUM -
0RUNED UuNuLnt Evening
SAYS NEGRO SHOULD NOT
SEEK SOCIAL EQUALITY.

Lecturing before an audience that
completely filed the lecture-room of
the Peddie Memorial Church last night,
Judge ]. D. Pritchard. of the Fourth
United States District Court. de-
clared' that the Individual, white or
colored, who seeks to secure social
equality for the negro is the greatest
enemy the black man has, and that
all sincerely interested in the welfare
of his race should discourage such
propaganda. He declared that from the
very nature of things the negro can
not hope to secure equality, but that
he is entitled to his rights before the
law, and that this is all the more In
telligent members of the race desire.
Judge Pritchard's topic was 1.-THE
Uplift of the Negro" and his lecture
was In the interest Of the National Re
ligious Training School and Chautau-
qua at Durham, N. c., ar institution
designed to train negroes in the va
rious fields of religious endeavor.

HIPPODROME PRODUCTION
NEVER BEFORE EOUALED.

During no other season In Its history
has the New York Hippodrome been so
varied and full OF interest as this year.

lean feature acts, including those won
derful young women, the Curzon sis
ters, in their aerial speciality; the
famous little elephant Baby Nine"
Spellman's laughable baby bears, the
Four Neighbors. Victoria Codona, the
Patty brothers, Sid Nederwald's OAR
winian jockey, Bradna n Derrick,
etc. Besides the excellent circus pro-
gram, there are three complete shows
under three separate titles, The In
ternational Cup" "The Ballet Of
Niagara and 1.-THE Earthquake"
One scenic surprise follows another
in rapid succession throughout the en-
tire performance, and the splendid
American Indian ballet and Niagara
Falls scene form a composition of
scenic and sartorial beauty which has
probably never before been equalled on
any stage in the world.

The GIRL OF MY

1t Is a R0llicking, Farce-Franght
Comedy, ChOck-full of
Catchy Songs.
<T HE Girl of My Dreams''-the
girl seems still indispensable

<T HE Girl Of My Dreams'-the
girl seems still indispensable
in the titles of these works-is
a new musical play which will be pre-
scented by Joseph ID. Gates at the New
ark Theatre for one week beginning
Monday night. The book is the joint
work of Wilbur Nesbit, a Chicago
newspaper writer, and Otto Hauerbach.
Karl Hoschna, the composer of Three
Twins Bright Eyes" and Madame
Sherry" is responsible for the music.
The story tells the difficulties of the
leader of a bachelors club in winning
the hand and heart of the lady of his
desire in the person of a little Quaker
girl with "hazel eyes from the country.
The comedy situations of the piece
are utterly farclcal and the occasion of
much merriment, and through a net
work OF curious MISUNDERSTANDING that
run through the piece the young man
has many hardships to overcome, and
much explaining to do before he finally
is permitted to claim the little Quaker
girl for his bride. In the principal
roles are Leila Mcintyre, as Lucy, the
Quaker maiden, and John Hyams, as
Harry Swifton, planter of wild oats.
Miss Mcintyre is a demure, sweet. un-
spoiled comedienne, whose lack of os-
tentatious gallery play is refreshing.
She sings effectively, and her dapcing
is an art of Genee's resources.
John Hyams gets much humor out of
the repentant bachelor. Mr.. Gates has
surrounded the stars with an excellent
company of principals and a big beauty
chorus. Nita Allen, Harry Clark, Hen
rietta Lee, Ray l.. Royce, Irving
Brooks, P~ercival Aylmer, Anna Laugh
lin, Anna Walker and George Trimble
