AT THE EMPIRE

An automobile collision in midstage
is about the funniest incident of 1.-The
Cat aad the Fiddle" which yesterday
began three-day engagement at the
Empire. There is a comedian in each
of the machines, and when they meet
head-on there is an explosion and both
cars fall in pieces over the stage.
Of course they are not regular ma
chines. That would be too expensive
They are mostly of poster paper, but
the collision is so well done that you'll
enjoy the by-play. In previous seasons

extravaganza, built around familiar

regular prices of that house. The
big Empire was nearly filed to ca

seemed TO enjoy the performance. No,

presented at 10, 20 and 80 cents as it
was at $3.50 and 81. But in its pres

The scenery alone viii repay one for
buying a seat. The performance is so
long that Manager f. T. Dolly has de-
cided TO eliminate the opening moving
picture during the engagement. Ed
Gilmore, as Happy a hobo, bears
the burden of the comedy. and he is
above the average as a funny man.

plenty of chance for a dark horse. In
the series of 1903, Bill Dineen of the

In 1908 Babe Adams of Pittsburgh
pitched himself into front rank; Ed
die Collins was the hero of the Chi
cago-Philadelphia series, and what
Baker did to the Giants with his home
run batting last year is still fresh in
memory.
From this review it will appear that
the heroes of the past have been dark
horses. The same thing may occur
this season. The fact remains how
ever, that the two men picked to star
during the present series-Tesreau
and Wood-are the premier pitchers
of their respective leagues.

should be high enough to pre-
clude the necessity of the woman
having to leave her home and
work for wages. If the women
did not work, they said, wages
would be increased. There would
be more demand for labor, and it
could set a higher price on its
product.

households, the children would be
