a wonderful play about q remarkable

clever woman, is to be produced at the

BILLY WATSON'S BEEF TRUST
TO TAX LAUGHTER AT MINERS.

Billy Watson, the original and only
real German burlesque comedian, is
making a farewell tour Of "Krouse-
meyers Alley and will say good-by
to Newark at the Empire Theatre next
week. 1t seems a pity to say good-by
to so many laughs, but all things, no
matter how good, must become a mem
DRY. When Billy Watson folded and
packed away this old favorite three
seasons ago he did it with a fa~re-thee-
well good old fun-producer.
But his many admirers, who seem
unable to forget him in this particular
comedy, have been so insistent that he
was unable to resist the opportunities,
so he disturbed its quiet slumber in the
storage-house and put his artists to
work making 1t all new again, the
same old situations. 'Tis the same
old Billy Watson as 'Phuip Krouse-
meyer" but new faces and artists in
all the old parts and new, handsome
girls have been Joined to the Beef
Trust chorus.
There is, besides all of this, a splen-
did olio. Nothing is omitted that will
make a good burlesque show. All the
incipient authors of both sexes in town
are attending the Tuesday evening
short story contests; George Bothner's
speedy wrestling bouts are attracting
crowds every Wednesday,, and a fresh
bunch of amateurs appear every Fri
day night.

cation.

sence of toilet facilities. Sixty days

tiers. After the expiration OF that
time. If the licensee emains in his
present location, his license will be re-
voked. In event of any proprietor sell
ing out no transfer of the license will
be made.
Because of complaints which had
been received against Mary Levy, pro
prietor of an employment agency at
231 Springfield avenue. the committee
revoked the permit to do business.
