New York, Oct. 19.-North Caro-
llnlans coming to the metropolis heed
not be surprised, three months from
now, to find every first-class theatre
in town open on Sunday night, giving
a full and regular performance of a
dramatic play.
The high-class managers will follow
William A. Brady's example, and
evade the provisions of the sunday
law by the organiZatiO n of Sunday
night clubs, to the member of which
and their "guests'-tickets for Sun
day night performances will be ex-
clusiyely sold. The ice has already
been broken by Mr.. Brady and by a
federation of theatregoers organized
by Sydney Rosenfeld, under the aus
pices of which a performance Of THE
Higher Court" was given at the Max
inc Elliott theatre last Sunday even
ms. Mr.. Brady's Sunday night per
Torrance will be given at his w
theatre, the Playhouse. The situa-
ton regarding Sunday night theatri-
Gals has long been a preposterous one.
Plays of the greatest merit and high
est Intellectual quality could not be
given on sunday night, because it is
against the law to give a public the
atlical performance or Sunday. yet
every vaudeville theatre in town has
bCtH SlhluS IL t SuldI NduUoVIlic SuOW.
Under q maSnificently liberal con-
~struction Of hat CLAUSE in the Sunday
law which permits Of sacred con-
certs." even though an admission fee
is charged.

Brockwell Makes Hit.
Fire Chief Sherwood Brockwell, OF
the Raleigh fire department, has made
a hit with the. New York firemen. Or
two occasions the young sOutherneI
has had an opportunity to show his
mettle, and each time he has more
than distinguished himself. In a fire
several weeks ago., soon after Chief
BrockWell arrived in New York, he
did sGIne excellent work in assisting
the local fre-fighters in quelching the
flames and in the fire at Bennett
restaurant on Lower Park Row the
Raleigh fireman was the first to enter
the burning building and succeeded il
rescuinS an unconscious waitress
t himsal{. sscihniiaa1 k n,1ml1edfl praise is netu d2'
ally a favorit hong his associates
and he has lii up to his reputation
for making ffOnds since he came tt
New York for the purpose Of taking
a postgraduate" course in modern
fire-fghting. And since his splendid
work in the two above mentioned
fires, nothing has been too good TO
him in the way of faVors from hi
associates on the New York force
If there is any characteristic in a maj
that New York tiremen admire, abOv'
all they adore herOism or bravery
Chief B~rockwell has displayed both O.
these characteristics, and the fremeI
are doing all in their power to assis
him in making his course IN the met
rOpOlis a success.
