'"The Arrival of Kitty"

Know what repeaters are? One
is the political breed that votes ear
ly and often; another is the theatri-
cal variety which may not get there
early but does get there often.
THE Arrival of Kitty" is of the lat
ter class, which is creditable and
desirable. AS a repeater the Nor
man Lee Swartout play has a repu-
tation which dwarfs into insignifi-
canoe that of any ward voter in the
land. The public is responsible for
it. 1t made The Arrival of Kitty
repeater, and still insists that it
shall continue its course, and the
public is not to be denied So
this play will keep on repeating
this season as it did last, prospering
therein and repaying it's instigators
the length and breadth of the conti-
nent with the entertainment it af-
fords whenever it comes. We in this
place viii lbe participants in this en-
tertainment, and joyous ones, for
The Arrival of Kitty" with Hal
Johnson as Billy Brown, will be at
the Lyric on Friday, May 5, when
everybody will be on hand to give
it the support and encouragement it
justly deserves.

The Confession" James Hallock
Reid's great moral play that has
created so much talk in New York
City is now playing in its third
month at the Bijou Theatre The
play while dealing with a subject in
a reverent, intelligent manner, does
not depend upon that alone for it's
large audiences of interested specta-
tors, its powerful dramatic situa-
tions, knit together with gripping
power, hold Protestant, Jew and
Catholic alike, breathless to the end
of the play. However, it is the only
theatrical amusement that members
of the Catholic faith have been ad-
vised to attend during Lent. The
author deserves immense credit for
the reverent and intelligent manner
in which he has handled his play.

parts which still remain, by the
schooner Mabel f. Goss, formerly in

The Goss left here today for Guilty
hunk for the purpose of tackling the
remains of the Red Star liner Sylvia.
which was wrecked on Sow and Pigs
four or five years ago. The SyI-
via has been pretty well stripped by
the natives and by professional wreck
ers, but it is hoped with the apparatus
aboard the Goss to secure much of
value.
The wreck of the steamer Horatio
Hall. which has rested on the sands
of Pollock Rip for two years, Was
found to be unavailable for salvaging
operations. The hackers of the ioss
had expected to obtain the machinery
and other property still remaining on
the Hall, but when visiting the scene
decided that the undertaking was too
hazardous to continue.
