THE CASINO.
Vaudeville.

Herman Lieb and his capable company
in Dope" heading the Casino Theater's
unusually attractive vaudeville bill, are
a veritable sensation. II is doubtful II
any vaudeville playlet has ever received
the universal attention and comment that
Mr.. Lieb's Offering did when 1t had its
initial production at Hammerstein's Vic
torla Theater in New York, and when
one sees it as the original company Is
presenting it at the Casino this week
there is no wonder that both play and
players were accorded unstinted praise.
Mr.. Pattersons play is so spIendidly
written, Mr.. Lieb such an admirable &C
tor. and his associate players so ade-
quate that the production really sets as
rainbow in the vaudeville armament. 1t
holds comedy interest, is faithfully
drawn, and tells story of to-day, in
volving the indiscriminate sale Of dope
and its contributing factors.
There are other excellent features on
the bill, too. the whole combining to
make mp a remarkable vaudeville at al
most any price. Holden and Harron,
The Messenger and the Maid" literally
stopped the show at every performance
with their highly entertaining singing and
talking creation. Miss Billie Fay is a
petite, dainty little singer, with a great
big voice. Gus Leonard gets laughs ga
lore with his burlesque magic along new
lines. Hall brothers are splendid speci-
mems of athletes. New photo plays open
and close each performance of a bill that
will long be remembered.

THE COLUMBIA.



THE Fortune Hunter returned to the
Columbia last night to afford unalloyed
enjoyment to an audience whose almost
constant laughter throughout the four
| acts best testified to the entertaining
qualities of Winchen Smiths delightful
comedy. Rich in characterization, with
| an appealing story, and a broad vein
of wholesome humor underlying all. the
success of The Fortune Hunter" is
| easily understood.
Nat Duncan is a failure as a business
man. There are no two ways about it.
He has tried, then tried again, and fail
ed miserably. His friend Kellogg wants
to stake him again, but Nat will have
none of it Finally in an endeavor to
think of some scheme to help his friend,
kellogg hits upon an idea and tells
Nat the thing for him to do is to go to
some small town, play saint, and then
pick out the richest girl in the place
and let her marry him. To this Nat
him in a small Pennsylvania town as the
local curiosity.
Nat persuades one Sam Graham, q
druggist, whose only failing seems to be
an inability to make money, to give him
job, and straightaway puts all his
capital into the business. but incidentally
saves enough to buy Betty Graham a
new dress. Under Mats management, the
business prospers and he becomes the
most sought after young man in the
town. He sends Betty to school, and she
returns transformed just in time to hear
of Mats engagement TO Josie Lockwood,
daughter of the local banker and the
catch of the place.
An invention upon which Graham has
been working suddenly attains astound-
ing value. Nat is released from his en-
gagement to Josie and finds happiness
with Betty. wisely coming to the conclu-
sion that fortune hunting is not half the
game he once thought it, and that, after
all, the only things worth having are
those for which one works.
A brief outline of the story of THE
Fortune Hunter can give but a faint
idea of the great charm of this comedy.
well drawn and amusing, the dialogue
is crisp and clever, and the whole at
mosphere pleasing and wholesome.
Will Deming gives an excellent per-
Torrance as Nat Duncan, making the
most of his opportunity for fun-making
and winning his audience Immediately.
One cannot blame the Radville beauties
for their mad rush for the Duncan &
Graham soda fountain. Edith Luckett,
whom her many Washington friends i'm
recognized and greeted with APP
plause upon her entrance, gives a SYM
pathetic and wholly satisfying perform
ance as Betty, and Forrest Robinson as
Sam Graham and Edgar Nelson as
Tracey Tanner do some fine character
work
1t is to be hoped, as prophesied in Mr..
Deming's curtain speech at the end of
the third act. that The Fortune Hunter
will continue to delight US for many sea-
sons to come.

THE MAJESTIC.
Dante'a aInferno.''

A brilliant spectacle opened last night
at the Majestic Theater to an audience
which was astonishingly large. The pic
lures of The Inferno" will be seen at
the playhouse for two weeks.
The moving pictures carried the story
of the ''Divina Commedia" with a faith
fulness OF detail and a splendor OF ac-
ton and mounting that no word but as
tonishing can express.
The poem Is divided into five acts, and
the pictures follow the Italian and Roman
poet through all the scenes of Dante's
great masterpiece. From the very intro
duction, when Dante Is lost in the wood
to the frozen depths OF the deepest circle
of hell, the story goes, absolutely intelli-
gible and terrible at every minute. The
actors have followed the drawings Of
Gustaye Dore, and action and scenery
have been wrought out with artistry.

AFTER THE LOAN SHARKS,

These crusades usually accomplish
some good for time. but the shark"
is a resourceful 'critter" and gener-
ally comes back after the excite

and grasping as ever before. How
ever, it is well TO get after him once

enforce limits interest on the class

Of loans under consideration TO > per
cent. per month. An Augusta dispatch
says the loan sharks there have been
charging as much as 400 to 500 per
cent per year. Such rate as that
simply makes borrowers slaves Of the
loan sharks. They never get out OF
debt and practically all Of their earn
ings are swallowed up in interest on
small loans.
Commenting on the evil, the Savan-
nah News says in every community
there are thriftless and improvident
people who, when in need of a little
ready money, will enter into almost
any sort of contract to get it. They
do not think of pay day, and when
they undertake to pay enormous rates
of interest it doesn't occur to them
that the trouble they are inviting is
worse than that from which they are
trying to escape. Their only thought
is to get the money they want. 1t is
this class that becomes the victims
of the loan sharks. 1t is true, OF
course, that those who loan them
money take a great risk-that is there
is no certainty that the loan will ever
be repaid or that any part of the in
terest will be paid They have a sys-
TEN, however, for harassing the bor-
rowers that is extremity effective. The
business is undoubtedly very profit
able, so profitable that it pays to
take all sorts of risks. 1t was for the
purpose of protecting the unsuspect-
ing and even thriftless poor that the
) per cent limit law was enacted.
1t is probable that in most of the
cities of the state this law is practi-
cally dead letter, since it is nobodys
business to see to it that it is en-
forced. Once in a while a victim

hard appeals to the courts, and then
there is an exposure and the loan
shark business receives a setback for
time. There is so much money in
it, however, that it continues to flour

as there are thriftless and IMPROVE
