WOMEN AND CHILDREN CHIEF
PATRONS AT WALDMANN'S NOW,

New motion pictures and five excel
lent vaudeville acts are in store for
the patrons Of Waldmann's new vaude-
vile house. A difference was noticed
in the audience which heretofore was
composed mostly Of men. Now women,
n children are the ones who receive
the most consideration and make up q
major share Of the audience. Neither
smoking nor drinking is allowed in the
theatre. and 1t is a safe place for
ONE and children.
The best act for the opening ses-
sion of three days is Howard and Lin
den, who present a sketch, las My
Father Used to Say The team is
clever in enacting funny situations on
up-to-date themes and sing very well.
Howard rs a clever German comedian.
Next comes Browning, who can
dance, entertain with funny stories in
a droll way, and mas a dog that almost
talks. The, Levolas husband and wife,
perform several feats on the wire that
is deserving of the tremendous ap-
plause that is accorded them. The
new feats with the wire are simply
marvellous. The McCarvers are good
singers and dancers. Brown and
Brown, who have a. schoolday act, are
rather funny with their comedy, but
are a sad team as far, as singing is
concerned.
For Thursday. Friday and Saturday
Mr.. Bloom, the manager, has ar
ranged for Tiller Sisters, Robert Young,
Payne and Lee, Goodrich and Leighton
and Petroff Brothers.

GRAND OLD MAN
OF THE STAGE
Anecdotes Of Denman Thompson,
Of 1.-THE Old Homestead.
AAACT0R FOR HALfA CENTURY

How He Greeted Senator Gallinger.
His Fondness For Oysters and Seltzer
and MIk-Popuar With Members Of
His company--Didnt Like to Talk Of
Himself.
One Of those men who would rather
wear out than rust out, Denman
Thompson frequently declared that as
long as he was able to live he wanted
TO live behind the footlights. That Is
why he continued on the stage long
after he had passed the age Of three
score and ten years. An actor for
more than half century, he played
the role Of Joshua Whitcomb in 1.-THE
Old Homestead" for upward Of thirty
years, and perhaps no other play held
such warm place In the hearts Of
theater going people.
Thompson had decided aversion to
being interviewed in regard to any
thing in connection with himself. and
thus expressed himself on the subject:
MY struggle In life. the hard knocks
and setbacks that have fallen to my
lot, have not been any greater than
those Of thousands Of business men
who have risen to far greater promi-
nence In life than I. The public is
not interested to know the inside his
tory Of these lives. The public should
Judge man in any walk of life by his
deeds and actions, by his true merit,
not by what he says of himself. This
sitting down and talking to man
about ones personal experiences al
ways reminds me Of redhot Metho-
dist who stands up in prayer meeting
and rehearses the trials and tribula-
tlons which he has gone through to
reach the desired goal"
Greets Senator Gallinger.
While touring the state one summer
Senator and Mrs. Gallinger visited
Keene, N. H., and, learning that
Thompson was at his home in Swan
zey, the senator expressed wish to
meet him off the stage. One morning
friend Of Thompson drove the sena-
tor to Thompson's home. Thompson
came out without coat or hat, hands
behind his book. The following con-
versation ensued

Weight is another standard.

The Chalmers $50" motor is light
er per horse power than any other
motor. The complete car is from
200 to 900 pounds lighter than any
competing car of the same size and
roominess. The $50" has all the
weight that comfort and efficiency
demand yet no useless weight to con
sumo gasoline and wear out tires.
The Factors of Safety are stand
ard which you should have in mind
at all times. The four main factors
of safety in any motor ear are Frame,
Wheels, Brakes, Steering Connect
ions.
The Chalmers "30'' has the heav-
lest, strongest frame in proportion to
total weight Of amy car IN its class.
Relatively this frame is as strong ~
in any car at any price. These $50
frames are built Of special heat
treated. steel. They are strong
enough to sustain many times the
weight they are called apon to carry.
They are staunch and heavy enough
to give feeling Of solidarity, with
out which no ear is comfortable.

TWO FAMOUS
HOTELS CLOSED
Hoffman House and GBsey House,
New York, Quit.
TO BECOME OFFICE BUILDINGS

Democrats From All over the Country
Were Won't to Gather at the HoH-
man House--Three Presidents Of the
United States Made the Giisey House
Their Headquarters.
Two historic hotels passed out or OK
3stence when the Hoffman House and
the Gilsey House, New York hostelries,
closed their doors on April L.
Until the last two or three years the
Hoffman House was the New York
headquarters for all Democratic poll
tcians in the state and nation. 1t en-
joyed the same distinction and popu-
larity among Democrats that its old
next door neighbor. the Fifth Avenue
hotel. had with Republicans. Many
national campaigns were wtged from
these two adjacent bases.
Recently the Democratic party lecG-
ers have been drifting hway from the
Hoffman House. most Of them now
making their headquarters at the Wal
dorf-Astoria ana the Knickerbockcr. \
few Of the old timers have still stuck
to the old house. but for the last year
or so the old poltica! gatherings in the
corridors of the hotel have disappeared.

old oak benches that had been their

when the usual recording OF election
bets went on much MS in years past.
For years the Hoffman House was the
principal headquarters Of election bet
tors. and many thousands of dollars
have reposed in its safe. awaiting the
result of a city, state or national cleo
ton.
One of the last residents of the no.
tel was Colonel William r. Cody c'B';t-
tfalo Bilp'). who has made 1t his head
quarters in New York for many years.
When the present Hoffman House WAS

Getting a good bargain When you
buy an automobile is not just qucs
ton of price, 1t is a question Of
features-of what is i'll the car the
design, materials and workmanship.
If it is possible to get more for
your money in one car than in anoth-
err. you want to know it. Ability to
pick out a car that will give you the
most for your money, depends upon
knowing the important points on
which to Judge and then comparing
cars on the basis of these points. 1t
is a question of having the right stan
dards.
A diamond expert will select the
one most perfect stone from hand

The horseman, looking over a
string of thoroughbreds, will pick
out the one or two best horses Of
the lot.
They are able to do this because
they know the standards by which
to Judge diamond and a horse.
The same is true of motor cars.
We ask you to compare Chalmers
cars carefully with others. We
give here few standards which
may help you to get an unusual dol

gathering up and crystalliZing into the

II has occurred to me that the proceed

appropriately prefaced by a brief in

them to the respectful recollection Of
