"HUCHIE" JENNINGS TO
BE PROCTOR HEADLlNER

Of the many baseball favoriteS who
have sought to duplicate their dia-
mond fame by establishing a verbal
batting average on the vaudeville
boards the name of "Hughie" Jen-
nings, the popular manager of the
Detroit Tigers, stands out Is n singu-
lar example of success in these two
diverse directions. "Hughie'' will oc-
cupy the headline position with Ben
Smith. the popular black-faee eonne-
dian and a native Newarker, at Proc
tors Park Place Theatre next week.
AS a laugh-producer this little skit
in which "Hughie' and his partner
appear is said to be far and away
ahead of all other baseball novelties.
Other contributors to the bill will
be Franker Wood and Miss Bonnie
| Wyde. Mr.. Wood will be remembered
by those who visited Olympic Park
during the summer season of light
opera at that resort. Mr.. Wood and
Miss Wyde will be seen in excer I
from several of the musical pieces
with which they have been promi-
nently identified in the past.
OF no less Importance will be Miss
Josephine Brown, the late co-star
with William Gillette, who will have
the support of a clever little aggre-
grafton of players in the presenta-
rion of tabloid version of Secret
| Service" Added effectiveness will be
supplied by such talented entertain
ers as the Walter Sayton Trio, a COM
pany of clever co~ntortionists; Fitch
Cooper, a comedian Of distinction,
otherwise known as '"The Musical
Rube;" Loa Durbyelle, in an exhibit
ton of d%exterous autobiography; The
-Four Royals, who will exhibit their
herculean strength in several remark
able feats, and John It. Murray,
whose droll storytelling is a most
effective antidote for anything and
everything akin to the blues.

AND JEFF" WILL DO
ODD THINGS AT SHUBERT'S

Mutt and jeff" Gus Hills elab-
crate musical comedy production OF
the famous Bud Fisher cartoon play,
founded on what is conceded to be
the most successful conception OF
comical character in the history of
Journalism, comes to the Shubert
Theatre next Monday for n week.
The tour of this organization last
season may be said to have been
triumphal. Never before, since the
inception of travelling theatrical COM
panies, had any play scored such a
tremendous success; never before a
a theatrical producing manager SO
perfectly prescribed amusement ac-
cording to the public's demand n
taste.
OF course, it goes without saying
that it Is not likely that n play
has ever had the advertising that h
one has had through the daily car
toon series that is run in more thar
five hundred newspapers in the
United States and Canada.
The original success was undoubt-
edly attained by the artist. Bud
Fisher, of the New York American
staff, when he conceived, the eccen-
trio idea of Mr.. A. Mutt and Mr..
Othelio Montgomery Jeffries. The
most conservative theatrical critics
and even the "magnates," who con-
troll practically every frst-class
theatre in the country, hand the
"pennant" to Mutt and jeff" as the
financial and artistic success of a
decade. which means that the play
has earned that enviable title.
This season Mr.. Hill offers the sec
ond edition replete with new and
startling novelties, new book, music.
cenery and costumes, all of which
will surpass that of last season, If
such a thing is possible. Mutt and
Jeff" will undoubtedly assume it's
place with ben Hur" and Way
Down East" as a standard American
plnv that will never wear out.

h coming to this city at the New
ark Theatre next week Of "a Scrape
o the Pen" will be an event awaited
With keen interest by the entire the
atrical warld, as this Scottish COM
cdy is the work Of Graham Moffat,
author of the world-famous "Bunty
Pulls the Strings" and as such will
demand the earnest attention of play
Soers and litterateurs.
The company presenting "a Scrape
o the Pen" comes here after three
months at Joe Weber's Theatre, New
York, with the entire New York ON
pany, which was brought direct from
Scotlan6.
from Scotland, the costumes having
been designed by Mrs. Moffat and the
scenery built under the direction of
the author. Therefore 1t will be seen
that the atmosphere of the Scotch
highlands will be preserved not only
by the portrayal of the characters,
but by all the scenic and costuming
accessories.
This engagement will be especially
noteworthy In character, as 1t is the
second offering to be seen in North
America by this famous author.
The story of "a Scrape O. the Pen"
IL told in Mr.. Moffat's happiest vein.
filled with bright sayings and home
~ Scotch philosophy. There is a
thread of pathos running through the
narrative, while. the types are so
clearly defined and yet unfamiliar to
the American public that this play
undoubtedly will awaken much inter-
est and discussion.
The cast is a large one for a play
of this character, comprising besides
the principals a full complement OF
understudies.
"a Scrape O. the Pen" which Is
presented under the direction of
Messrs. Weber & Fields, has proved
one of the real successes Of the pres
ent season, and by many has been
enjoyed more keenly than was Mr..
Moffat's previous success, "Bunty
Pulls the Strings"

remain intact. This is avery strong
point, as the company is composed
of such worthy players as William
Courtenay, Joseph Kilgour, Ben john
son, Scott Cooper, Henry Miller, jr.,
etc.
The original manuscript of Ready
Money" was banded about from Of
fee to office by its comparatively un-
known author, James Montgomery.
When the play at last fell into the
hands of Mr.. Frazee he saw wonder
full possibilities for it and so put it
before the public for judgment. That
Mr.. Frazee was correct in his suppo-
sition has been proven by the pres
tlge that READY Money has won in
New York, Chicago and London.

When a Bear and Man
Rolled Over Together
in the Water.
THE TWENTY THIRD STORY

THE TWENTY-THIRD STORY
When n. S. Risley or Smith Risley,
as he was Familiarity called by his
Fairfield neighbors, returned home
after the bear had been killed with
corn cutters as told in the last story,
he found two very much excited boys.
His son, n. NJ. Risley, now residing
in Excelsior, and Samuel Hathaway
had been hunting for wild pigeons in
the Seth McGilvra woods northeast of
Baraboo and while in search of birds
caught sight Of beast. 1t was bear.
Joseph Gillem lived at Russell's
Corners not far away and be was
recognized as one of the best bear
hunters in the community. He was
informed as were also the other neigh
bors in the vicinity and when the next
morning broke they gathered at the
Risley home for an invasion into the
bears domain. Old bullet moulds
had worked over time, guns were ex-
amined, powder horns were filled and
the dogs whistled together.
The son was scarcely peeping over
the tree tops when the band started
down the road in heated excitment
over the expected encounter. Mr.. Ris-
ley rode on horseback as was his Gus

so separated that they could sweep
the forest of all big game as they ad-
vanced.
1t was not long until out came the
bear. Two of Gillem's dogs were
anxious for excitment and flew at
the beast. N. NJ. Risley says that the
bear cuffed the bull dog just once and
that took the grit out of him while a
smaller dog continued to worry bruin.
Guy 0. Glazier writes that Gillem
wounded the bear as he came out of a
thicket and then hurried in pursuit
reloading his single barreled gun as he
ran. Mr.. G'azier also says that aftel
pursuing the game about five miles
Gillem suddenly came upon one Of
the dogs stone dead and the othel
mortally wounded. Be that as it may

Rock Springs from springs running
out of the rocks along the .river bank.
Garfield says that the place was also
called Excelsior, but when the railroad
came the officials named the station
Ablemans out of esteem for the colonel.
The name on the depot is Ablemans
but the r lace is more often called by
it's right name, Ableman. Excelsior

Col. Ableman who came from that
