more thoroughly pleased audience
has not been in the Garrick theater
this season than the numerous gath
ering assembled Monday evening for
the amateur entertainment given for
the benefit OF Providence hospital.
Judging by the laughter and applause
which greeted the efforts of the per-
formers. The playhouse had most
festive air, with fashionable folk In
their smartest evening frocks, cart
loads OF flowers for those behind the
fotiights. and a buzz of conversation
mat stamped the event as a social
function of decided importance.
The performance offered the three
actfar cical comedy, The Marriage
OF Kitty" and Spanish musical
vaudeville called "A Fiesta in Seville :"
The comedy was originally written for
Marie Tempest by her distinguished
playwright husband, Cosmo Gordon
Lennox, and Is one OF those deliciously
witty, smartly naughty and amusing
little affairs for which Miss Tempest
ID famous as the delightful center.
MWrs William A. Spitzley assumed
the leading role of Kitty, and actc.
the part in very pleasing and
sprightly manner. DR.. Spitzley, cast
tor the important opposite role of Sir
Reginald Belsize, was unfortunately
unable to appear on account OF pro-
fessional duty, and his understudy-
for even amateurs are wise enough to
have nderstudies-Edga w. Bowen.

Travers' secretary. Mrs. Piquette. as
the dashing and temperamental Nine
De semiano, proved herself clever

crs. made several trips down the aisl,

MILES.


The average woman may know very
little about practical politics. She
may even inquire the reason for so
much political news and what II is ALI
about. But take an incident in poIi-
tics, be II ever SO intricate, couple il
with little love story and the wom-
an can understand the why and
wherefore OF ii as readily as any man.
Many women by nature are politi.
clans; they seem to grasp the subject
by instinct. You can tell this by
their appreciation of Oliver Whites
playlet Politics and Petticoats," in
the Miles theater this week.
The author has kept the characters
true to life, while the situation may
be considered just bit improbable
For instance, Augustus Neville, as
John Conlon, the politician, has been
disappointed in love In the past. Con-
Ion has picked Harrison Berkley. a
clean-cut business man, to run for
mayor, and purposes to make him
mayor just to defeat and humiliate
the rival candidate, who married the
woman Conlon loved. Conlon finally
withdraws his candidate TO save the
wife of his rival from heartache. I'm.
preston counts more than consis-
tency. No politician like Conlon would
withdraw his candidate under the cir.
Icumstances: indeed, he couldn't with
out the candidate having something to
say, but the impression is good and
the audience likes the playlet.
Neville plays the part OF Conlon as
thotLSh he might have been a politician
himself at one time; William Marble.
Jr., Is a very excellent candidate for
mayor, Just the right type, and Madam
Mureal plays the part Of the Lady
very skillfully. The lines are clever.
Dora Pelletier and Charles Mes.
senger do a little entertaining in an
acceptable manner. Miss Pelletier nre.
sents some character studies and Mes
senger Is more interesting than the
usual piano accompanist.
| The Twelve Navajo girls have n
Spectacular musical act. The girls
are probably from Boston or N,w
York, but when garbed in Navajo
costume. they make pretty, little In.

Is. Most OF the 305 cities and towns
had the polls open from noon until
8 tonight.
Roosevelt ended h Is whirlwind
speechmaking tour in Pittsfeld last
night IF you vote for Taft you vote
for these men," he said after referring
! TO Senators Lorimer, Penrose. Gal
lnger and Guggenheim. He declared
the president had practically nothing
/ in his campaign back OF him outside
OF two or three states except the sup
/ port he received from these men and
their like and from the great sinister
special interests which stand behind
the BOSSES"
Col. Roosevelt devoted large part
of his speech 10 a reply to the things
President Taft had been saying dur
ing the day at the other end OF the
state. AT intervals on his journey
across the state, the colonel received
Itelegraphic reports of the presidents
speeches, and in the latter part OF the
day he entered upon a long-distance
debate by retorting TO Mr.. Taft's state
ment.

had asserted that the colonel was STIR
ring up class hatred This Col. Roose-
Welt denied.
THE talk that am stirring up
class hatred Is arrant nonsense, he
ldeclared. In the same connection he
said: If Mr.. Taft's policy OF haboy
indecision and of helpless acquies-
cence in the wrongdoing OF the crook
ed boss and the crooked financier Is
permitted TO continue. there will really
grow up class hatred in this country.
There will grow up a very uncom'
Portable and very ugly feeling OF dis
content with political, social and In
dustrial conditions"
President Taft finished his trip with
an address at Lowell last night.
After declaring that he was sorry x
was necessary for him 10 have TO min
gle in a political struggle. he suggest
ed an amendment OF the constitution
so that a president should serve six
or eight years and be ineligible for re-
election.
Il think that would prevent this"
he said.
mo man has the right to misrepre-
sent another TO get himself in office,
no matter how humble that man is.
the president shouted at one point OF
his Lowell address.
Condemn me II you will" he said
In conclusion, but condemn me by
other witnesses than Theodore Roose-
velt Twas a man OF straw; but
have been a man or straw long enough;
every man who has blood In hs body

NEW YORK, April 30.-Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt returned from his tour
of Massachusetts, today, arriving at
the Grand Central station direct from
Pittsfield, where he spoke last night.
He went to the Outlook where he
disposed OF part of the mail which
had accumulated during his absence
and later went to Oyster Bay where
he will receive returns from the
Massachusetts, primaries tonight
The colonel was jubilant over his
reception in the Bay state, but refus-
ed TO make any predictions regarding
the outcome OF today's primaries.
