THEATRE SEASON
HERE BEGINS ANEW
|Orpheum Opens With Modern
81 Comedy Drama, "The
Masqueraders."

and Prootor's Protean Pro-
gram Elicit Applause.


The Corse Payton Stock Company
opened its second season at the Or
pheum Theatre last night with an en-
loyable presentation of THE Mas
nueraders," an interesting. modern
pomedy-drama.
1t seemed that all the friends the
Payton players have made since they
came to this city, fifteen months ago.
were in the audience, for the theatre
was damned to the doors, and the
first appearance of the favorite mem
bers of the company brought forth
applause that shook the Orpheum to
is very foundations. Particularly
was this true of Miss Mabel Brownell
Ind Clifford Stork, leading woman
md leading man respectively, who
we're married just as the last season
was closing. When Miss Brownell
md Mr.. Stork appeared Simultaneous
~ in the first act they received such
reception that the action of the
play was stopped for4fully five min
ties.
1t would be unfair to those WHO will
Isit the Orpheum during the week
give ever the bare outline of the
lot Of THE Masqueraders' here.
uffice it to say that the play is near
perfect technically, that the action
5 rapid and the characters we'll
[rawn. Surprise after surprise greets
be audience as the interesting story
the piece II unfolded, and the au-
hor's ideas are s~plendidly exempli-
Id by the capable members of the
pmpany.
Miss BrowneH as II barmaid, who
tier becomes the wife of an English
erd, has mary excellent opportuni-
Hes to display her talents as an emo
tional actress. and let's none of them
slip by. Clifford Stork lends distinc-
lion to the part of an astronomer.
IJoseph w. Girard acts well the part
Eof a nobleman, and the other men,
bers of the company, including Miss
Grace Fox, Miss Margaret Dane, Miss
Lillian Stuart. Miss Mary Cunard,
Miss Mabel Estelle. Harry B. Roche
and Charles Sloane do creditable
work in the smaller parts.
Considerable credit must be given
the management for the excellent
mounting with which the piece was
invested and to Lee Sterrett. who
staged the production.
Not the least interesting feature of
the first performance was the APP
pearance of Corse Payton after the
third act with a characteristic speech.

BOARD PUTS DOUBLE KINK
INTO SPEEDWAY SCHEME

Convinced that the Speedway is
being maintained for the classes and
not the masses the road committee
of the Board of Freeholders yester-
day authorized the county counse to
a resolution giving permis-
sion to Irvington to cross it with two
streets. This, 1t is believed, Is the
first step toward abandoning the
course entirely. The ground VIII
probably be turned over to the Essex
County Park Commission for a park.
Without the permission of the
board Irvington has already extended
Nineteenth venue, This action
aroused such indignation, however,
that yesterday the Irvington au-
thorities came forward with a re-
quest for a permit to extend this
thoroughfare, together with Montrose
terrace. Under the present condi-
tions it is necessary for a wagon or
automobile to encircle the entire
speedway before a crossing can be
made.
When the matter was brought be-
fore the committee several of the
freeholders were opposed to taking
any action at the time, holding that
more time should be taken to con-
slider the matter. Freebooter La
combe moved that the county u
sci be authorized to draw the resolu-
ton giving the necessary permission
to the Irvington authorities. Chair
man Seymour F. Gilbert and Free
holder Amos w. Harrison opposed
any action at this time. Thew were.
however. o%verridden in the matter.
Director Evans wanted the Speed
way abolished on the ground that 1t
held back property valuations and
that 1t is keeping property out of the
ratable list. MIR. Harrison believed,
however, that it should be done by
a special act OF the Legislature and
not by the board.

HIGH COST OF LIVING.
ditor of The Farmer. Sir:

Editor of The Farmer. Sir:
 Recently the Curtis Publishing Co.,, sent to their agents a circular of best selling information. It contain ed this gem: t'The question of the high cost of living, the supply of food stuffs-calI it what you will-isS prob ably the most vital problem confront ing the American people to-day But it is a problem that has to be faced and must be solved.''
 The New York Times has been gath ering statistics of poverty in that city It shows that during the month of January, 1912, 5,270 families were evict- ed for non-payment of rent. This is worse than the record of Ireland dur ing it's greatest oppression under land lordisn
 It is shown that the monthly rents in New York, have very largely in creased during the past year, and a of food leads the Times to declare: High rents burden the poor more than food prices do.'' At the same time the rents have been increasing there has been a marked decrease in the wages of mechanics, engineers and StenograpflerS.
 As result of the high rents and the inability Of the people to pay, the poorer quarters of the city are becon- ing more densely populated and the model tenements about which so much boasting has been done, are left unoc- cupied- IlandIordisn1. in other words. is forcing the people into the s1uIns in spite of what charity organizations can do to prevent it. There is a great hue and cry about high prices. but Iandlordism is, as shown by the above, much more of an evil than are the high prices of food. People are taxed to their limit for a place in which to live. They are taxed on things they buy to eat. That is all that is behind the oppression and pow erty there is in the whole world

 When I left the bench,'' said Cross cup, t.I said this coming national cam paign would be the last to beSfougIlt out on the old lines.
