Roman Lamps.

Roman lamps were of many sizes. but most of, them very closely resem- bled what is at present denominated a sauce or gravy boat. At one end there was a ring. through which the finger was passed when the light was carried. The body of the vessel was filled with oil, and at the other end there was small tube. through which rag wick was passed When this was lighted the smoke and odor of the rancid fat employed were extremely offensive. Many Roman poets mention the atom inable effluvium sent out by the lamps At the feasts.

CRESCENT.

Coming direct from the successful
run at the Whitney Opera House in
Chicago, Dave Lewis will be seen in
the song farce Don't Lie to Your
Wife" at the Crescent Theatre Sun
day night. One of the noted facts
about all of Lewis productions is that
this comedian always selects young
women for his chorus with the Lii
liam Russell aspect. Rowland and Cliff
ford are managing this comedian dur
ing the current season, and with what
the author, Campbell B. Casad, has
supplied in the matter of keen and
satire, the whole production is the
funniest that Dave Lewis has ever
been connected with. Several spe-
cialities are introduced, such as al
ways feature Lewis plays, and the
excellent entertainment is supplied by
Miriam Shelby, Edna Roland, Gladys
Wilcox, Nell Love, Estelle Vernon,
Lenore Fray, Sam Rose, Holworth
Stark, Benton Garvin, Mart Franklin
and Edward Keogh. The engagement
will be at popular prices, with ma
tinees Tuesday, Thursday and Satur'
day.

MONTGOMERY AND STONE IN
THE OLD TOWN."

For the first time in their profes-

cross the Missouri river and sweep
over the plains and mountain chains
to the far Pacific coast, vending their
way South, then North to the bosom
of Puget Sound, then on East to the
Great Lakes, down to the Southland,
in their latest musical comedy THE
Old Town." which will be presented
at the Tulane next week.
Musical plays made famous by this
celebrated firm of farceurs, namely,
THE Wizard of Or" and The Red
MILL have been presented by the va
rious companies of the number two
order. Too bad that did not
have the opportunity to see them in
such wonderful musical successes.

roles of suffragettes. These two char
acters are the central figures in
whirlwind of fun, music, songs and
dances, embellished with handsome
stage settings, beautiful costumes, and
last but not least, a large coterie of
handsome show girls. The musical
numbers are all of the latest vintage
and many were composed especially
for the show, among them being Gee,
But It's Great to be Home" Every
Little Movement has a Motive" I'm

whimsically all that the term implies.
Rag time memories might offer sug-
gestiye promise of a hot time at the
fashionable Tulane and certainly the
reports that have preceded the COM

prepare their admirers for an even

thing doing every minute; indeed II

to market many fresh commodities OF
a character that they no"

comedians in 1.-THE Old Town" appear
as a couple of stranded circus pro-
prietors who by reason of the deser-
ton of their troupe are obliged to
give an entire performance by them
selves. OF course this situation offers
some truly marvellous dancing, aero
batic and gymnastic feats, tricks on
the high wire and lariat juggling by
the facile Mr. Stone. Being Charles

New Orleans Big Auto Show.

The biggest automobile show ever
given in the entire south will be held
at Washington Artillery Hall, New
Orleans, February 21-25. Both the 10
cation and the time are propitious.
Washington Artillery Hall is in the
midst of the down town" district
of the Crescent City and February q
is Immediately after the Madri Gras
season when there are hundreds OF
visitors in the city whose time is not
occupied by the Carnival.
The show is to be given under the
auspices of the Automobile Dealers
Association of New, Orleans. Tho
mas C. Campbell who has been ap-
pointed manager of the show, has had
long experience in the show branch
of the industry and his connection
with the enterprise assures its sue
cess. The Dealers Association is rep
resented by committee of three, COM
posed of JOS Schwartz, chairman; Gin
der Abbott and w. p. Johnson. These
gentlemen have been untiring in their
efforts and the result of their labors
will manifest itself in one of the great
est displays of automobiles ever seen
in this section of the country.
There will be at least twenty-five
exhibits which will include all of the
latest models of cars. and the most
modern motor trucks and delivery
wagons. Several of the prominent
manufacturers have arranged to have
the same cars which were displayed
at the New York and Chicago shows
sent here Manager Campbell has
planned an elaborate scheme for the
decoration fthe hall and has engaged
a splendid band to furnish music dur
ing the show. In brief, New Orleans
is to have a show which will compare
most favorably with any other evel
given in this country.

HODGE IN THE MAN
FROM HOME"

American plays have grown so lus-
tily during the past few years that
each one seems stronger, finer, wit
tier and more authoritative than the
last, but it seems to be the general
consensus of opinion that the Tarking-
ton-Wilson play, The Man from
Home" which William Hodge brings
to the Dauphine for a weeks engage
ment beginning next Sunday night is
far and away beyond all of the splen-
did efforts of the American dramatists
who have successfully provided out
bursts of Americanism for the stage.
Ii is American to the core. With both
a literary force and a vitality in its
heart, a splendid moral courteously
pointed and story rich in humor,
delightful in romance, in satire, The
Man from Home" has an intense ap-
peal for every sort of amusement seek
er, from the frivoler to the thinker,
from the scoffer to the patriot.
The central character in 'The Man
from Home" is an elongated Indiana
lawyer, Kokomo is his home and Dan
iel Voorhees, Pike his patronymic. He
is kindly droll, shrewd and unas.
Stunning old bachelor, ambling through
life at lazy gait. but not without a
purpose. He has sense and 'charac
ter, understands human nature in what
ever guise it may appear, respects
the best of it and lets the worst of il
trouble him little. He is the guar

tune Hunter" one of the successes
dramatically and from the blk office
viewpoint, of the season, is a vindi-
cation of public taste. Every line,
every situation, every act and the en-
tire moral of the piece are wholesome
and the ensemble is uplifting. 1t is a
sermon preached by subtle humorist.
In "The Fortune Hunter Nathan
lei Duncan, reared and educated in
luxury, reaches the end of his belief
in himself, when, after five years OF
being to work for a livelihood, he &C
knowledges that he is a failure in. ev-
erything that he has attempted. In
his desperation, he accepts the scheme
for marrying a fortune under the
rules set down by his friend, and goes
t GA country town to work them out
Here he finds the poor old druggist,
discovers that he is more helpless
than Duncan ever was, and in the as
sumption of the old mans troubles,
his own latent abilities are developes,
and from a failure in life, Duncan
carves out success and a competence

he likes the work; and later because
he loses his pessimism and believes
