YOUNG WIFE VAN|SHES
ODDLY WITH DAUGHTER

n TENAFLY, June 11.-This village ia
mystifed at the disappearance of Mrs.
Josephine Marcason, % years old, and
her child of 3. Her husband, a builder,
left home June / to attend to business
us usual and left his wife busy about her
household duties.
When he returned at noon she and
the child were gone. The house bore the
appearance of having been deserted sud
denly with no preparation for a jour-
ney, except that some of Mrs. Marcason's
clothes were missing. She had been
Ironing a skirt and had left 1t on the
ironing board.
No one In the neighborhood saw
mother and child depart, and there has
teen no clue to where they went or why.
The husband is conducting an energetic
search. The fact that she never had

EAST LYNNE MEETS WITH
FAVOR AT ELECTRIC PARK

An appreciated variation in the
character of amusements offered in
the rustic theatre at Greater Electric
Park by the Sibley Players this sea-
son is the emotional drama East
Lynne" which was presented last
night and will be the attraction for
the remainder of the week, with
matinees on Wednesday, Saturday
and Sunday. The production was
welcomed by an audience which
showed it's keen liking for entertain
ment of this kind by its close atten-
ton to the unfolding of the story
and the sincere and timely applause.
The stage version of Mrs. Henry
Woods novel is so well known to
playgoers that 1t is unnecessary to
go into the details of the story. The
company was enlarged for the occa-
sion, and in consequence the produce
ton was unexpectedly entertaining.
The members entered heartily into
the spirit of their respective roles.
Miss Margaret Keene made her APP
parance as leading woman for the
Sibley Players in the difficult dual
role of Lady Isabel and Nine. Vine.
She is well adapted to the impersona-
ton, and she took advantage of every
opportunity to display her real dra-
matte power. Miss Keene's support is
excellent, the remainder of the cast
capably doing what was required OF
them.
Between the acts the vadueviliee
performance on the great open-air
stage served as a magnet to draw the
crowds. Heading this weeks bill is
Miss Eileen Anderson and her high
school bronco, Indian Chief" Miss
Anderson in putting the horse through
It's PAGES demonstrated her expert
ness al an equestrienne and evoked
applause time and again. Others on
the bill are the Rosenes, gymnasts,
in various feats; Simpson and Doug
las, in feats of strength and hand
balancing, and the Cycling 'Greenes.
Following this performance the living
pictures. within the electric fountain

VIE WITH MAN IN
STUNTS AT HILLSIDE PARK

Despite the cool weather, the lovers
of Western action fiocked to Hillside
Park, where this week. besides
Wyoming Bills Wild West Show,
there are gathered the trained ami
mails of Madame Marantette and the
educated horse of Colonel Harris,
sunfower. The act furnished by the
trained animals is one that Is par
ticularly pleasing to women and chill
dren. In fact, the interest last night
was so intense that instead of clos
ing her act In the usual manner
Madame Marantette went through
the tricks a second time. For this she
was heartily applauded. and many
promised to revisit the park before
her engagement closes.
The Wild West Show needs little
introduction except to state that there
are several additional features. Texas
Charlie. one of the clever ranchmen
of the West, has been secured to dis
play his ability with a lariat. He per-
forms a feat that is marvellous by
roping six horses while at full speed
Frank Seyfang, who, during his
short stay at the park, has e%lectri-
fed everyone by his daring work
while at dizzy heights, still carries
ono the work with the same calm
ness. His nerve seems lev to
waver. and each flight seems to be
higher than the other. During the
coming week he promises to make
a fight so high that his balloon will
be almost lost sight of before 1t is
carried away by the winds. To do
this hei will be required to carry
heavy weights so that he car shift
from one side to the other in order
to remain in a straight upward path.

4CHARLEY'S AUNT"
MADE SIDES ACHE
Famous Farce Is Funnier Than
Ever, as Played at Proc
tors Theatre.

"Charley's Aunt" presented at
Proctor's by Etienne Girardot and
the Proctor players is the dear old
~farce-one of the best ever written
and just as funny as ever. Age cannot
wither, nor custom STALE" etc. Twen-
ty years is a long time and youthful
Impressions often change. but there
Is no change in the wholesome en-
joyment afforded by witnessing
"Charley's Aunt"
The Proctor production is certainly
all thatscould be desired. Mr.. Girar-
dot has played the part of Lord Bah
berry, the pseudo aunt. something
like $500 times. and as he created the
role he requires neither praise nor
criticism. Suffice 1t to say that in the
years agone he was just as good as
he Is now. His Interpretation of he
deliciously droll character is a classic
of the stage of two henispheres. The
Proctor management is to be con-
graduated upon obtaining him.
The Star had no cause to complain
of his support. Irving Lancaster was
a choleric and always amusing
Spettique and Miss Caroline Harris, a

"charley's Aunt" is unfortunate
for the members of the cast other
than the star. for they have little to
do except help develop the action of
the farce, but some good touches
were given by Frances Williams as
Amy Spettique and Louise Marshall
as Kitty Verdum. Pearl Forde was
winsome and dainty as Ella Della
hoy and was appbauded in the only
sentimental scene In the piece. G.
Swayne Gordon as Jack Chesney,
J.. H. Doyle as Brossett, Harry Eng
lish as Charley Wykeham and Harry
F. Forsman as Colonel Chesney ac-
quilted themselves well. Both for
those who have never seen it and for
those who have "Charley's Aunt is
we'll worth witnessing.

find an exceptional treat In store for
them at that popular little vaudeville
house during the current week in the

ORPHEUM'S "BLUE MOUSE"
KEEPS LAUGHTER BUSY

Clyde Fitch's farce comedy, 1.-The
Blue Mousse as presented by the
stock players of the Payton Company,
is Just one scream after another. To
try to explain the cause of all the
screams, together with the compiled
lions that arise, would occupy too
much space. for the cast is a large
one, and every member has ample OPP
portunity to express his or her capa-
bilities, which is done without excep-
ton, and done well.
The story, in brief, is a plan by
Augustus Rollett, who Is secretary to
Llewellyn, president Of the New York
Interstate railroad, to secure the po-
sition of division superintendent.
Knowing Llewellyn's fondness for the
fair sex, he plots with Paulette De-
vine, the Blue Mouse" to pose as
his wife. and through her fascina-
tons she secures the signature Of
Llewellyn to the paper, giving the
coveted position to Rollett. Both Roll
lett and Liewellyn being married
auses the complications. which come
so thick. and fast that the audience
is kept In laughter from the start to
finish of each act.
Miss Brownell, as 'the Blue Mouse"
was naughty. but true blue. and was
good beyond comment.
Clifford Stork portrayed the role of
the schemlng secretary, Rollett, and
his evident despair at some of the
situations which greet him. rouse
shrieks of laughter. Miss Estelle, as
the ingenue. was excellent. The other
members of the cast were: Harry B.
Roche, as Llewellyn, who was a
close tie with Clifford Stork; Miss
Sadie Radcliffe, Miss Virginia Will
sen, Miss Lillian Stuart. Harry w.

SALVATION NELL"
PORTRAIT OF VICE
Una AbelI-B rinker Performance
at the Newark Holds Mir
ror Up to Nature" |

Stun life, with its stories OF vice
and poverty, told with the, vivid and
powerful force of the drama, were
depicted in Salvation Nelr' by Una
Abel Brinker and her stock
in their new home at the Newark
Theatre yesterday afternoon and eve
ming.
The Sheldon play, which was start
ed on the road to fame through the
artistic establishment given to its
performance by the celebrated Minnie
Madden Fiske, has had difficult trav-
cling. Salvation Nell" is a revolving
story of East Side life, too vivid in
its picture and too real in it's charac-
ter to- fully satisfy the higher sense
and crafty one's desire for actual
entertainment.
1t is a daring story and daringly
written. With all its pitiable scenes
of vice and poverty and all it's slang
and blasphemy, it finds little recon-
pense awaiting it in the moral at
tached through the medium of the
uplifting work of the grand old SAL
walton Army.
The three scenes, including the in
terror of a bar-room, the upper DON
of a tenement and an alley on the
lower east side, are given such ade-
uate life and action that the finer
s~ensibilities are rudely shocked by
the success of the producer in depict
ing so truly to life the revolving
nature of these surroundings.
Mrs. Brinker humbled herself in
the role of Nell Sanders as a scrub
woman in a low-down saloon, from
the crime and filth of which she is
rescued by Lieutenant Maggie O'Sul-
livan, a Salvation Army worker.
According to the story, Nell, after
being wronged by her pal, Jim Plat,
played by Louis Leon Hall, finds a
new opportunity for life and repents.
Her pal, after eight years in Sing
Sing, also finds the new way and for
sakes his life Of drunkenness and
crime.
AS a melodramatic offering SAL
walton Nell'' is n of the extremes.
The moral may be complete in it's
effect, but the lesson is a severe ono.
and the uplifting part of the story
fails to stamp out entirely the sor-
rowful picture of wickedness so glar-
ingly illustrated.

tertain Newarkers this summer was
wisely chosen, and to the manage

the thanks of all lovers of comic

The story of the play briefly con-
Germs the comic misadventures OF a
droll little waiter passing hifself off

town in the country to Corsica,
where they are beset by pirates and

scene Of the ieiopement of the pair.

the moonlight, cluttered with an inn

to the maid, is one of the most riot

realms of musical farce.

self if the parts were not created for
these two diminutive, clever thes-
plans. Mr.. Deshon starred for three
years in the role Of Janathan Joy,
the dishonest waiter, and has every
line perfect.
Miss Tracey is nimble, an excellent
comediene and mas a wonderful sing
ing voice.
The work of Miss Ann Tasker can
not be overlooked. She made a
charming seminary girl. Her rem
dering of ''rDeaming'' was excellent.
Miss Lucille Saunders, too, as presi-
dent of the Girls Seminary. was one
that required much hard study. She
| carried herself with all the dignity
that is required of such an austere
person. Miss Peggy Wood was also
goal as the daughter of the seminary
mistress.
The rendition Of 1.-THE Garden of
Allah for Two by Miss Edna Temple

voice waited through the audience a
feeling that seemed to carry them

sun aver shines.

WHEN THE CANAL IS OPEN
VIII Change Course Of Freight Traffic
Between Europe and Valparaiso,
Austria and New Zealand.

The Hansa, the organ Of the Ham.
burg ship owners, after consideration
Of the probable effect Of the opening
OF the Panama canal upon steamship
routes, states that after the month OF
June, 1913, should the canal be opened
to navigation at that time, steamers
proceeding from Europe to San Fran.
cisco will no longer go via Cape Horn,
route of 1851 sea miles, but will
save $500 sea miles via the canal
route. Steamers proceeding from
Montreal to Sydney now cover 1852
sea miles, but in the future will be
able to do SO over route of 1882 sea
miles.
1t is difficult to predict the effect
of the canal upon freight traffic be.
tween Europe and Valparaiso, the
Cape Horn route being only 2,1OO
miles longer than the canal route.
Passenger ships probably will pass
through the canal, serving the east
coast of South America by means Of
auxiliary ships sailing from West In.
dian ports.
Trade between Europe and Japan
will not be Influenced by the canal, as
the Panama route will be 1000 miles
longer than the one now followed.
From New York to Shanghai, on the
other hand, the difference in favor of
the canal will be 1,400 sea miles. The
present route from Europe to Aus
tralia is 500 miles longer than the
route via the canal, which is scarcely
enough to threaten any great change.
It is assumed that part Of the bust-
ness from New Zealand to Europe,
which today comes Via Cape Horn,
will pass through the canal hereafter,
saving 1,600 sea miles. The canal
route will be selected also by passen-
gers who wish 10 avoid the rough and
stormy rounding Of Cape Horn. The
chief part Of the steadily increasing
business between New York and Aus.
tralia and New Zealand should there
fore proceed via the canal rather
than by the Cape Of Good Hope. saw
ing $500 miles.
