COUNTY CHAIRMAN" AT
NEWARK A SPLENDID HIT.

George AIDES THE County Chair
man. playing at the Newark this
week. is a wholesome comedy, with
bright lines, amusing situations, a keen
love interest and the refreshing atmo-
sphere of the small village. The queer
characters always connected with the
village store abound, and their por-
trayal affords ample opportunity for
the talent of the Payton players.
Joseph w. Girard In the title role
gives an excellent picture of the coun-
try politician whose heart is generally
the victor over his political sensibili :
ties. The part offers wide scope for
clever Interpretation, and Mr.. Girard
Is to be congratulated upon his ex-
cellent characterization.
Clifford Stork as Tillford Wheeler.
the political opponent of Elias Rigby
and the sutor for his daughter Lucy's
hand, and Miss Mabel Brownell as
Lucy Rigby furnish the romantic e1e-
ment, while, as usual, or rather even
better than usual, Miss Jessie Nc
Allister as Chick has charge of the
comedy end. A clever portrayal of
Elias Rigby, the crafty politician, is
given by Raymond Clapp. Miss Anna
Laying, Miss Grace Fox, Mrs. Charlotte
Wade Daniel, Robert Livingston and
Harry B. Roche also do excellent work.

wv WIDOWS SUE ROAD
FOR DEATH OF ENGINEER.

SIOUX FALLS, s. d., Aug. S.-R. L.
Meldrin, formerly a resident of New
York State, received a South Dakota
divorce in 1905. On his return East he
married again. Meldrin was a railroad
engineer, and about a year age was
killed when on duty. Recently his
first wife, or widow. instituted an ac-
ton against the railway company by
which he was employed to recover
$1,000 for his death. She contends that
the South Dakota divorce obtained by
Meldrin was invalid, and that she
legally is his widow.
To complicate things No. 2 also has
begun a damage suit against the rail-
way company, placing her damages at
a much higher figure than No. 1.
Widow No. 2 now is in Sioux Falls,
seeking to establish the legality OF
Meldrin's residence here and the di-
vorce granted him.

away all else that he holds dear in
life.
Richard Thornton, who plays the re-
porter-manager of the New York Ad-
vance," put a wealth of sober earnest
ness into the role.
Una-Abell Brinker, as daughter of
the judge, has a part which, al
though not as long as some others In
which she has starred this season,
nevertheless makes up In intensity for
what 1t lacks In length, and gives her
plenty of opportunity to show her skill.
And she took full advantage, of this OPP
Iportunity.
The famous composing room scene
left much to be desired. There was a
lack of the hurry and hustle that would
naturally attend going to press on a
metropolitan daily, especially under the
almost tragic circumstances that at
tended this particular issue.

But, Mrs. Hahn, are you divorced;

If Mrs. Hahn was embarrassed by

is a consummate actress. as she masked
her feelings wonderfully.
Incidentally, it may be said, for the
benefit of possible candidates for her
hand, that Mrs. Hahm's picture does
not do her justice.
