HOME TALENT PLEASED
RECORD AUDIENCES
Male Quartette CT City ROundIy
Applauded at Colonial.
SINGING AND NOVELTY ACTS.
This Special With Two More Acts and
Pictures Make Fine Bill Again
for Tonight.

Largely because of the special act n
which the participants are home tai
ent. residents of the city turned out
in such great numer last night for the
vaudeville and motion picture enter
tainment at the Colonial Theatre,
that the playhouse was practically
taxed to its capacity at both perform
ances.
And the singing and novelty stunts
by the local vaudevillians five well
known young men-was indeed
credit to them, in view of the fact
that il was their initial appearance
behind the tootlights in full regalia,
and they received round after round
of applause
The actors were the MAIN Street
Quartette, with Mr.. Charles
Brooks as aceompanist on the
piano. The singers are Messrs.
Charles Gessner, baritone; Howard
Fieseler, bass; Raymond Clark. tenor,
and Raymond Trott, soprano. They
rendered several selections In good
harmony and responded TO the curtain
several times. And in addition,
Messrs. Gessner and Brooks gave sew
eral limitations the former mimicked
an express train, an approaching troll
ley car, sky rocket and other things
while Mr.. Brooks initiated the noises
of jackass, duck. turkey gobbler and
other fowl.
Getting music out of an ordinary
comb covered with piece of common
paper, was another feat by MIR. Cess
ner. To the accompaniment of the
piano, he played two pieces on this
| improvised musical instrument, one of
which was Anchors Aweigh," the
now famous battle march Of the mid
shipmen in athletics. which was most
favorably applauded Clark, Fiese
Ter and Trott appeared as black-faced
comedians. GesSner and Brooks were
groomed.
Though affected a bit by stage
fright. which they, in fact, antici-
pated would be the case at first, the
young men did remarkably we'll, and
they are down on the bill for to-
nights performance.
This special act, together with the
two regular vaudeville bills, acts made
up an excellent program. The other
acts are Miss Frances end Mr.. DeMar
in songs and dances, and Victor, ven.
triloquist, both of which were excel
lent. Miss Frances is particularly
winsome and active. putting plenty
of action into her songs and dances.
Victor is probably the best of the ven.
triloquists that have beea seen in An
napolis. Among other things he comes
down among the audience, with a
dummy singing a song, throwing bis
voice in manner that is beyond de-
| lection.
The same acts will be repeated to-
| night, and the photo plays on the pro.
gram are "The Ranchman's Lottery, .
an Eclair comedy The Squatter'
Right, Rex drama, and 'Whom
God Hath Joined, a Tannhauer
drama. There will be no vaudeville
| show at the Colonial tomorrow night,
because of the play. 1.-The Girl From
Rectors. " which will hold the boards
matinee and night.

Uncle Joe" Cannon is responsible
for new word which promises to
and its way into the English vocabu-
larry. During the years run of = The
Girl From Rectors'' at Weber and
Fields Music Hall, New York, "Uncle
Joe" stepped in after the first act,
seated himself in box and began to
enjoy the show.
His laugh during the last act caused
ripple through the house because
its volume destroyed the hearing of
many of those close b. him. After
the performance the manager of the
house asked what he thought of 1.-The

query.

Bruce when he got the message.

Tayenner Will Continue as Cor
respondent for the
Chronicle

LaFollete's Magazine, edited
by United States Senator Rob
ert M. LaFollete, (Repulican)
pays a fine compliment to
Clyde H. Tavenner, who has
been acting for some time past
as our special Washington cor
respondent, and who has been
elected to Congress from the
fourteenth Illinois district. Sen
ator LaFollete, editoriallv, says;
Clyde H. Tavenner goes to
Congress from the fourteenth
Illinois district. Tavenner is a
talented young man, and a pro
gressive Democrat. AS a news
paper correspondent at the nat
ional capital, he earned areputa-
ton for integrity, industry and
insight into the problems of gov
eminent. Given the choice Of
two progressive candidates, to
represent them, the people chose
Tavenner. We believe this con-
iidence is not misplaced. His
past performances give assur-
ance of q cretitablc record i'm
the House, against privilege in
all forms, agaist machine domi-
nation, and for progressive prin-
ciples."
This endorsement may be ac-
copied as unprecedented, because
Senator LaFollete's magazine is
republican. The fact is, Taven-
ner won solely on the merits of
his Washington letters which
have appeared in this newspaper
and which we will continue to
publish exclusively in this terri
tory.
Inc extent OF the magnificent
tribute paid to his work as a
writer can be best understood
when it is considered that he won
out by 1900 in a district which is
normally from $500 TO 12.OCC
Republican, and which has not
been represented i'm Congress hy

which prevailed in many districts

the regular Republican nominee,
who also had the advantage oil

to the light breeds of horses, mainly
because there Is more horseback rid

A FEEDING EXPERIMENT

just completed large c,.ttle
shed to be used in experiments
on feeding of steers. A part of
the steers will be fed under this
shed and an equal number wi be
fed the same amount of feel in

EGG CIRCLE
An egg circle has been formed
in Monongalia County by Prof.

member of this circle is provided
with a stamp, on which is his in

stamping every egg that he
places on the market. The eggs
will be collected at one centre
and shipped direct to New York
City. About twenty farmers be-
long to this circle. 1t is a great
step towards solving both the
cost of living and the necessary
profits that a farmer should have
on his produce. Each farmer
who belongs to this circle will
receive the highest eastern mar

consumer in New York City will
