FINNEY'S TR0CADEROS AT
THE GAYETY MAKE GREAT HIFs

Manager Leon Evans was fortunate
to secure Frank Finney and his Troca-
dero Burlesquers for the holiday at
traction of the Gayety Theatre. That
the selection was d wise one was evil
denced from the fact that the house at
both performances caused the S. r. O.
sign to be placed in the lobby. Indi-
cations are that the same will have to
be done for the remainder of the week
on account of the popularity of the
leading comedian, Frank Finney. y
~"Sweeney's Vacation Is a new two
act play that is used to show the tall
ents of Finney and his company Of
pretty women. The plot is an up-to-
date theme, showing what trouble a
man can get into If he takes too much
"wormwood.' OF course the worm
wood affects each man differently, but
1t has a most pleasing effect on old
Sweeney, who proposes to a dozen diff
ferent women and is accepted by all.

large, makes itself heard in the sing

FIGHTING HOPE" ADMIRABLY
PLAYED AT ORpHEUM THEATRE,

David Belasco's play. 1.-THE Fighting
Hope" produced by the Corse Payton
Stock Company at the Orpheum tells
of a Wife's faith and love for her hus-
band, who she believes has been wrong
fully accused and Is serving a sentence
in prison through the rich and power
full financier. Burton Temple. She de-
termines to clear him and prove Tenn
pie guilty, and to carry out her plans
she secures a position as private secre-
tary to Temple. In time she discovers
document, but the weight of their EVIL
dence Is against her husband. In a
letter of his own handwriting he had
confessed his guilt. The wife still
thinking it her duty to save her hus-
band for the sake of her two boys,
burns the evidence. A public investi-
cation has already been started to
gain the husbands liberty. He escapes
from Sing Sing and confronts his wife
in the Temple home and charges her
with an intrigue with Temple. The
scene here is the most powerful one
of the play, and Miss Brownell does
justice to her part. Keepers from the
jail trace the husband and he is shot
while trying to escape from a window.
In the meantime, Anna, the wife, has
learned to love Burton Temple, while
he has always loved her from the day
she entered his home Is secretary. Lee

REV. w. J. DAWSON TO
BECOME PRESBYTERIAN.

Rev. DR.. william J. Dawson, the
eminent Scotch divine, who has just
been named the permanent pastor OF
the First Presbyterian Church by the
official board, following a years in
cumbency as acting minister, 1t is un-
derstood, will seek a transfer from
the Congregational denomination to
that Of Presbyterian, in Difference to
the requirements of the latter church.
When DR.. Dawson was named az
temporary pulpit supply, one year ago,
the officials of the Newark Presby-
terry. in compliance with the rulings
of the denomination, raised an objec-
ton to the selection of the noted pas
tor because Of his utilization with the
Congregational Church. Nevertheless.
the official board of the First Church
overruled the objection and selected
DIR. Dawson for a term of one yea a.
it's pastor.
The action of the latter In request
ing a transfer to the Presbyterian de.
nomination will be pleasing to the
members of the presbytery, who SIM
ply followed the customary official
rulings, as advocated by the pulpit re
quirements of the creed, in raising al
objection to his serving as pastor OF
the old First Church.

MIRTH'S MERRY FACE IN
EVERY ACT AT pROCTOR'S

The bill at Proctor's this week is
mostly song and laughter. There is
an occasional groan, but not while
Hoey and Lee or Ethel Green are on
the stage. Place aus DANES, of course.
Miss Green is cute and clever and it
is not much Of an eye-strain to look
at her. She can sing sweetly, she can
~articulate, which is a charm and a
grace. and she has a spicy style of
comedy that never gets over-seasoned.
Hoey and Lee have merchandise that
should always find a market. They
have the usual makeup OF the usually
painful Hebrew comedians, but they
have all the originality of Abe Potash
and Maurus Perlmutter. They are a
joy While they are on the boards even
il they are not things of beauty.
John and Mae Burke have an enter
tanning act. Jean Bedini and Roy Ar
thur, assisted for some reason by Ed
die Cantor, buriesque Juggling pretty

telling jokes and singing and Irene Lo
Tour is ably assisted by her dog,

really worth while and he is Bert Les

use more slang than a telephone girl.

and have to listen to him.

that the pictures are changed daily.

REGATTA GIRLS" AT EMPIRE
CARRY AUDIENCE BY STORM.

Several novel features marked the
performance last night of the Regatta
Girls" at Miners Empire Theatre and
made he show something unique in
the burlesque line. Ted Burns, the
leader Of the comedians, has a dry,
sleepy delivery quite out of the ordi-
nary run of burlesoue comedians, and
brought down many a laugh.
The Boris Fridken troupe of Russian
dancers made a decided hit with the
audience. The Russians gave an ex-
hibition of whirlwind dancing and
showed themselves masters of the art.
While their native songs were not
understood, the music was catchy and
the costumes gorgeous. Miss pat

meanwhile We're lost.
Two musical numbers, entitled "At
the S~eashore" and 1.-THE Canadian
Club interspersed with lively songs
and dances, gave the comedians and
chorus ample opportunity to display
their voices and footwork. Ted Burns
led the way in both pieces, and
aroused much laughter without SEEM
ing to try very hard. Other principals
who added to the fun were Bert
Marie Fisher and Ralph Rockaway,
