AT THE THEATERS
ALMA" COMES BACK AND

is BETTER THAN EVER
The singing and acting OF Grace Drew,
as Alma" in Alma, Where Do You
Live makes a new show Of the perform
ance Those who saw Alma" last year.
and wondered why the piece was such
a success in New York, would realize it's
It's not the same show we saw last year,
but very must better, in every particular.
Miss Drew,s gracious personality and
beautiful singing raises Alma" to the
level Of delightful first class musical
show. She brings an acting ability to
the part which redeems it of the friv-
olous and rather suggestive features EN-
phasized by her predecessor in the role
of Alma" when presented here last sea =
son. Through all the tiippancy of the
role, the wOmanhood of charming Grace
the flirtatious young woman, and one
knows that she will ring true" when
the test comes. Miss Drew sings the
beautiful songs which fall to her share,
in manner that called for half dozen
enCores
She was ably assisted in several of the
musical numbers by Charles F. Orr, as
Pierre. Mr.. Orr's voice is a clear sweet
tenor, and he sings with much express
sion His duets with Miss Drew and his
solos were most effectively rendered.
Casting aside the entire performance,
with the exception of the singing and act
has an offering worth the price OF admis-
sion, several times over.
However, the comedy OF the piece
pleases many people. The present COM
pany. in all respects, is better than last
years. Charles King is responsible for
most of the comedy, and he keeps the
audience laughing while he is on the
stage. The story Of alma" is not of the
best. nor is the plot one that appeals to
an American audience But plot is MOTH
ing and story is less, when Grace Drew
is on the stage, or when Charles Orr
sings Love" or Land of the Beautiful
Dreams" The comedy serves as a rath-
err ordinary string upon which to hand
the exquisite pearls of the musical num-
bers
OF course, Alma, Sweet Alma" etc, Is
the dominating musical strain, but that
is by no means the only song worth while.
There is childhood Days" and "Beauti-
full Dreams" and "Boogie Boo" and
sail Home" and kiss Me, MY Love-"
all full of melody and charm And then,
one has not heard Alma" until one hears
Grace Drew sing it.
Incidentally, Miss Drew is beautiful
woman and wears exquisite gowns. and
the stage settings are all to the good--but
why mention those things when they are
only incidental, and not-as In many Of
the shows of the day-the chief attraction
of the play. In the pleasure of the per-
formance one forgets to notice the stage
details other than as accessory to the
players, as il should be,
Alma" will be here for three more per-
fOrmances, tonight and tomorrow night,
with Saturday matinee.

Peril Particularly
Bad in the South.

In binding Thomas over on the charge
Of murder, Judge Broyles also held him
for carrying a concealed pistol
Even should he clear himself of the
murder charge, he must answer for
carrying that deadly pistol remarked
the court.
In discussing his announced determi-
nation TO wipe out pistol toting in At
lanta, Judge Broyles said
This Is one OF the greatest perils
with which this country is faced today.
II IS particularly had in the South and
in Atlanta, and 1t has come to the point
where drastic action is demanded. We
must eradicate this evil if we would
raise the value of life. Human life is
held too cheaply-pistol toting Is too
common

The cast of The Quaker Girl" the
great English musical comedy, which

of October 7. is headed by Victor Morley
who made such tremendous hit as Tom
Stanhope, in the original Three Twins"
company. Mr., Morley is just in his ele-
ment in the present play lie has always
been at his best in roles which portrayed
the nobility or the gay and irrepressible
dandy. His first enga cement was to
originate the role of the earl of Cholomon-
dley. in Grace Georges success, Pretty
Peggy" Next he played Lorc Artie, in
The Prince Of Pilsen;" then Richard
Wargrave, the earl. in The Earl and the
Girl then the Partisan dandy in THE
Spring Chicken" and then his great sue
cess in The Three Twins" But never
has he been able to display his many ac-
mplishments, his delightful voice and
his charming personality TO better ad-
vantage than in his present role of Tony
Chute, in THE Quaker Girl" 1t is a
part which calls forth all the youthful
buoyancy Of his nature and gives ample
opportunity for him to prove himself to be
the finest dancer on the American stage

ALLENHURST. n. j.. August Q. 1912.
Many visitors have wondered what was
going on at the site of the Dunes fire
since its destruction early in July. 1t was
learned last week that after the fire
Mr.. E. c. Miller, one of the
guests who had suffered large
loss of jewelry, had a plan suggested to
him to get a mining engineer and sys-
tematically search the ruins. A commit
tee composed Of several gentlemen whose
families were stopping at the hotel at the
time of the fire, headed by Mr.. Miller and
Mr.. Franklin Hardcastle. raised fund by
subscription and engaged a mining en-
gineer and experienced placer miner, and
after purchasing the ruins for the con-
sideration of 81 and a guarantee to re-
move the debris, the work was started:
The engineer first removed the metal
built regular mining sluice. After sluic-
ing the entire mass and recovering
great portion of the lost articles,
screens We're erected and every bit or
debris that had passed over the slulce
has been screened. The engineer was as
sisted in his work by sons of the commit
teemen. who acted as watchers. they
were E. c. Miller. jr.. Norman Carrol
and Franklin Hardcastle. jr
So successful has the experiment proven
that over 80 per cent of the actual losses
in jewelry and other valuables have been
recovered.
A masquerade bail was enjoyed by cot
tagers and guests at the Allenhurst Ciuo
Thursday night, and last night br1oSe
was played Tonight special dinner was
