1.-THE MELTING POT" AT
ORPHEUM, CONVINCING

When Israel Zangwill wrote the drama,
1.-THE Melting Pot in which he symbol
ICES the United States as the crucible for
the amalgamation Of the races into the
; future American nation, he expressed,
from a Jewish standpoint, Americas des-
tiny. His hero, David Quixano, one of
a class that form a large percentage of
our immigrants-the Russian Jew, has
escaped from the Russian massacre at
Kishipev, and makes his home with an
uncle, Mendel Quixano, and the latter's
mother on the East Side. The uncle and
mother are still true to their faith, al
though ~exiles, but David, who is a musl-
cal genius, composes his American Sym
phony, which is an expression of his great
love for the Crusade and hated for
the car.
Hitherto he has played on his violin
only In the settlements to the crippled
children, and there meets Vera Ravendal,
a Christian, and daughter of Baron Raw
endal, a Russian official, who has also
left her native country because of the OPP
preston. Their acquaintance ripens into
love, only to be shattered by the ap-
pearance of the baron and baroness, for
David Instantly recognizes in the baron
the leader of the massacre.
Vera's hatred for her father is bound
less when she hears the truth from
David, and although the lovers bid fare
well, Vera continues In her efforts and
succeeds in launching David. on his ca
reer with the presentation of his SYM
phony. through Herr Pappelmeister. con
ductor of an orchestra. She also spans
the seas of blood that seem to flow be-
tween her and'David because she is the
daughter of "the butcher" and we
leave them together looking out with
owe and romance to the flame that
shall melt and perfect the "Crucible."
Miss Brownell is given an opportunity
to show her vnried talents as Vera
Ravendal. Miss Estelle, who as Kath-
leen o'Brien helps in the Quixano home.
gets sadly mixed with the differences
of faith, but furnishes much laughter.
Mr.. Sterrett, as Mendel Quixano, is adj
mlrable, while Miss Radcliffe. as the
mother. acquits herself with much
credit.
Clifford Stork, as David, has a power
full part, but rather lacked action. The
rest of the cast, including Joseph w.
Girard, as Herr Pappelmeister: Harry
w. Fenwick. as the Baron. and Miss
Mary Cunard, as the Baroness, are en-
tirely competent.

DRAMA TO HELP
STRIKE PRISONERS

An italian drama was produced at
Krueger's Auditorium last night in an
effort to arouse sympathy for two Ital-
ians who were arrested at Lawrence,
Mass, in connection with the recent
strike riots there. The Italians are
charged with being responsible for the
death Of two women during the riots.
Between the acts Of the drama, adj
dresses were made by prominent Italians,
denouncing the Imprisonment of their
c%ountrymen In Lawrence, and describing
Incidents connected with their arrest.
Salvatore Burtuglia, a writer on the
staff of L'0ra, an Italian newspaper pub
lished in New York, denounced the arrest
as an outrage and then drifted into a gen.
eral denunciation of capital. The local
strike or laborers was also mentioned and
he urged that the strikers hold stead
fast.

RAILROAD MEMS REQUEST
DENIED BY PENNSYL WANNA

S. c. Long, general manager of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, in a letter yes
terday to B. Hendricks and e. B. Katt,
chairmen of the Railroad Conductors
and Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
denied the request that steam railroad
men be employed on a number of cleo
tric trains between Park place, this
city, 4nd Church street, New York, and
on all trains between Park place and
Summit avenue. Jersey City.
The grievance of the railroad men
grew out of the identification of the
line between this city and New York.
The letter states that nc agreement was
entered into by the railroad company
which would prevent the road from inn
proving the service in any way. electric
or otherwise, and that the company
has not dismissed a man as the result
Of the Inauguration Of the electric sys-
tenn.

That accomplished and you have a good
burlesque show. The show at the Empire
this week has all of these.
There are two playlets with an olio.
''Murphy's Troubles and 1.-The Steel
Trust Trial" These burlettas are the
vehicles used to introduce as nifty a lot
of chorus girls as ever appeared before
the footlights. Every one has been Sc
lected with care and the voices well
trained for chorus service.
Gladys Sears, who Is an added attrac-
ton with the show, is the same happy
go-lucky girl that she ever was. She still
has the wonderful ability OF making the
grouches smile and forget that gloom
ever existed. The dark man really could
not exist in her presence, for her winning
smile just makes n happy. The Texan
Tommy dance was well received.
In the oiio Watson and Brandy handled
mirth carelessly. They gave a farcical
boxing act with soft-shoe dancing. Harry

made recreation good. John and Jessie
Powers were good in song and story.

Try to figure out why certain plays

reason for everything in baseball and

Study yourself. You must have some
brain or, you wouldn't be in college.
Therefore, use it. Use your mind in
perfecting your body. If a man has
any weaknesses he ought to be able
to overcome most of them himself.

Don't overtrain. A lot of college men

DEVORE'S One LAMENT IS THAT HE CAN
NOT HIT SOUTHPAW PITCHERS AT ALL
Has Tried Everything
but Is Helpless Be-
fore Them.

While Josh Devore was I'VE here
with the Giants the other day, he WIS.,
tied many of his old friends and made
a few comments on the progress of
Newark since he played here, in 1908,
under Stallings. OF course, the main
interrogation everywhere ~propounded
to Josh was, twill the Giants repeat?"
Josh did not go into detail, nor make
an elaborate reply; he merely remarked
that McGraw's men for the most part
are youngsters who should be better
than ever this year, that he expects
Matty will lose non of his cunning,
that Vanguard will win as many games
as last year and that If Tesreau con-
tinues to show as he has, there is moth
ing to it but another pennant for Nc
Graw.
Devore is a great admirer of Nc
Graw and his ability as a manager and
st~rategist. "He never pulls the same
play the same way twice" say Josh.
HE never let's his players do much
thinking, because they really do not
nave to. He can size up a situation and
figure out a counter attack SO quickly
that he has the answer before the aver
age ~ball-player begins to think. Mac
has always told me that I'd be a &c. 900
ball-player, if I had a head but how
can my mental ability as a ball-player
develop if some one else is constantly
doing my thinking?

what was coming when | stepped up to

"Slim Salee, of the Cardinals, is a
great pitcher, but a mechanical worker;
he generally starts when I come up to
bat with a fast one on the inside, a
sweeping cure and a crossfire and l sit
down.. %Southpaw pitchers have the jinX
on me. 1 can't see them and I'm all
most tempted to swing with my ayes
shut when a larboard finger is In the
turret. 1 had revenge on Salee last
fall, however. He had two strikes on
me, when 1 popped up a dinky fly that
went for the first hit of the game, and
he was trying to pitch a no hit, no run
game against the Giants. Salee then
went on a 'jamboree.' It's something
like hat which always starts him off
the narrow path"
Josh was tickled to see how his old
pal, Jack Kelly, had been able to set
himself up in business here. TITS
funny how some ball players can save
money" remarked Josh. "I know many
of them who have played in the big
show for years, been in on the 'divvy'
in a worlds series n still they die
poor. Here's Kel, who was up for only
a short time, but was thrifty and must
have saved his money. Kelly is one of

Ten Commandments for the School
and College Baseball Player

It's a rotten habit. And it has ruined
many a promising college ball player.
VIII.
Do what the coach tells you. But as
far as the making of plays goes do
what the coach says. He knows more
about 1t than you do. And even if he
didn't, you have to follow his instruc-
lions or ball up the plays.
TX.
Forget the crowd. Remember you're
there to play your own game. Don't
let the roofing bother you. Just o n
centrate on the game and the rest is
easy. If you think hard enough about
baseball you will not have much time
to think about anything else.
x.
Remember that the scrub team makes
the varsity possible. If they drop you
off the regular team it's a cinch they
do 1t because they have somebody bet
ter for the position. Don't go around
telling your troubles. Just swing on to
a job with the scrubs and play your
head off. If you never make the regu-
lar team you may do as much for your
college as though you had.

"One thing that Jake Stahl seems to
have accomplished with the Boston
team is to inject a whole lot Of conf

is no doubt that they have a chance to
