Gratis Of Maryland threw off the mask

Baltimore ring, whose grip on that city
has recently been strengthened and
whose hungry workers are now looking
forward to Il return Of the corrupt mu.
ricipal order which hourished while the
elder German was i'm control Of the
party in the state. Outside the city his
chief ally is Senator John Walter
Smith, representing the Eastern Shore
counties in which Democratic supremacy
is maintained by the aid of special trick

Mr.. German in the primary defeated
by narrow margin STATE Senator
Blair Lee, a man of high claracte
ana progressive tendencies, who rep
resented what was left of the sentl.
ment which rebeled at the abuses
of GOrmaniSm fifteen years ago. An
uninterrupted lease of power in the
state has made the Democratic Organi-

state than any put forward for many
years The success Of the Baltimore

MILES.

An extra long and an extra good
bill Ia on view In the Miles theater
this week, and packed houses. Mon
day, put the seal OF their approval on
every act from the opening overture
to the latest adventures OF Mutt and
Jeff, as shown In the Milescope.
Ed Locke, who Is best known as
the author of The Climax" Ia spon-
sor for the fareelet called, THE Green
Mouse" which Is easily the headline
attraction. II Is well constructed
playlet to begin with, and 1t Is pre-
sented In a most capable manner by
Robert Rogers and Louise Mackin-
tosh. both of whom are well known
I'm the legitimate field.
In "The Green Mouse" Mr.. Rogers
takes on, In realistic manner, a sport
i've husband who comes home slightly
the worse for liquor and. after kick
ing over several loose articles In the
hall, makes a triumphant entry. His
wife. who has been reading the "Bab
Ballads" resolves, TO try one Of the
experiments" there recounted on her
husband. She pretends not to see
him at all. BY setting the clock back,
tearing whole month on the calen-
dar and draping her husbands picture
In mourning she tries to make him
think he is dead and that II il merely
his restless spirit that is fitting about
the apartment. She almost succeeds,
too, with ludicrous results. The
green mouse in the beginning, Is
merely figment OF the husbands
fancy, but becomes q reality later on
and figures prominently In the unex-
pected denoument.
The sketch Is one OF several excel
lent features The Moneta Five, three
women and two young men, contribute
an unusually refined and entertaining
musical diversion, aptly styled, An
Evening at Home" They sing well.
giving both solo and ensemble num-
bers, and their instrumental efforts
are equally pleasing.
Pat Reilly. always q welcome visit
or, is making his Detroit debut az
vaudeville entertainer. He presents,
with Miss Flo Wells, who, In real life
Is Mrs. Riley, stirring little skit en-
titled, I'm the Days of '61." Pathos
and humor are skillfully blended In
the character of the old soldier, play
ed by Mr.. Reilly. Feeble In mind and
body. the old veteran imagines he is
once more IN the heat OF the cam
paign and, to humor him. a tent has
been placed on the lawn OF the SOL
diers' home, of which he Is an inmate.
The ending Is most effective. Miss
Wells. as a nurse, renders capable as
sistance.
Hanlon and Baron are billed as &C.
centric comedians and they live up
to the title. Their stun Is brand new
and they know how to put Il over.
Britt Wood Is a clever youngster with
good line of limitations, In which
he uses a mouth organ to good ad-
vantage. His son, Steamboat BILL"
also makes hit. Herbert b. Lennon
Is q skillful impersonator, one OF his
best efforts being an imitation OF
Billy Van, the famous minstrel
Grace Harrison, singing coincidence.
has some new songs, and the Mutt
and Jeff pictures show this comical
pair In a matrimonial adventure that
Is extremely amusing.
