CALAIS JIMMY VALENTINE" AT
THE ORpHEUM NEXT WEEK.

One of the strongest dramas of the
day, alias Jimmy Valentine will be
the Offering of the Corse Payton Stock
Company at the Orpheum Theatre next
week. Manager Payton will give it ex-
actly as presented at Wallack's The
atre, New York, during the two years
run, and invites comparison with the
original production. There will be no
raise in pricing, the popular Payton
prices-ten, twenty and thirty cents
continuing for this as well as all other
shows, and a matinee will be given
every day.
The play reveals the of a
young burglar, whose natural manli-
ness and instructive chivalry, shrouded
in crime for the time being, bring
about his reformation.
The reformed criminal is Jimmy Val
entine, now leading a respectable, on
tented and hopeful life under the as
sumed name of Lee Randall, acting as
cashier of a bank owned by the father
of the girl who secured his pardon from
Sing Sing, where he was serving ten
years for burglary. In this position he
is confronted with the choice of giving
up his present security of life or using
his skill as a s~afe-breaker in rescuing
a child from a vault in the bank, which
had been accidentally closed while the
child was at play. Jimmy exercises
his skill, rescues the little one, but be-
trays himself as the yeggman wanted
by the State of Massachusetts, to a de-
tective who had been s~hadowing him
since his release from prison.
Clifford Stork, the popular leading
man of the Payton forces, will play the

EVA TANGUAY TO HEAD BILL
AT pROCTOR'S NEXT WEEK.

That the popularity of Miss Eva
Tanguay, who heads the bill at Proc

ished since her last appearance in this

gagement at h local home of vaude-
vile at the matinee performance Mon

test. Up to date the sale of seats in
advance has eclipsed all previous
records.
Although Miss Tanguay admits her
deficiencies boil as a s%ongbird and as
a disciple of Terpsichore, neither de-
tracts from the magnetic powers of her
unioue personality. 1t has a charm
that is her lost valued asset. h
radiates the spirit of youth and the joy
of living.
AS an added attraction the manage
ment has engaged Conroy and LIE
Marie, the w~ell-known black-face
comedians, who will ave ample oppor-
tunity for the exploitation Of their
funmaking talents in that hilarious

HOUSES IN KIMBERLEY
!. SHATTERED BY SHOCK
Vss~Oss
Hundreds of Buildings Dam
aged by Earthquake in the
Diamond Fields.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

CAPE TOWN, s. A., April ., 1912
The worst earthquake shock which has
been felt in South Africa for thirty years
has left a trail Of damage which will
take months to repair. Kimberley was
the center Of the earthquake. There were
really two shocks. the first of which
lasted fourteen seconds. Had it kept up
the tremor for another thirty seconds
there would have been a national d:sas-
ter. Hundreds of houses in Kimberley
with cracked walls and sloping fronts
testify to the shake they received.
The first motion of the earth was felt
at $3.50 pm. in Kimberley, and 1t created
more excitement and more damage than
the siege during the South African war.
The diamond town was slumbering peace
fully in the sun, train was crawling
lazily into the station. few people iolled
about the market place. A low. distant
rumbling like an approaching wagon was
heard; no one took notice Of It. The
rumbling increased In volume, until in a
grand finale it became deafening. the
earth trembled beneath ones feet, the
tremblings became frequent and violent,
people staggered as they tried to walk
and In three seconds there was such a
general displacement that panic seized the
town for some minutes.
The Inhabitants rushed out of their
houses and shops into the streets to find
that some public buildings had changed
their appearance One striking effect of
the shock was seen at the Kimberley open
mine, the largest hole in the world. From
the mine there issued a great volume of
dust which foated heavenward. That dust
told the people that q considerable dis
placement of the sides Of the mine had
taken place. Hundreds Of tons of earth
had been shaken loose from the old work.
ings and had been precipitated into the
abyss, SO that what had formerly ap-
peared to the eye as a bottomless pit is
now fathomable.
warning cloud of dust pulled up also
from the great De Beers mine, where a
similar fall took place. Fortunately there
was no loss of life. but so far as the town
is concerned property in every district
has suffered seriously.
Curiousiy enough, the earthquake seems
to have had little effect on the other
towns in South Africa.
