"A WOMAN'S WAY" TO
BE PLAYED AT ORPHEUM

Thousands of admirers of Miss
Mabel Brownell declared that the tall
ented young leading woman gave ex-
preston to dramatic power beyond
their greatest expectations in her
presentation of Ruth Jordan In
'The Great Divide" AS great as the
surprise was to the theatregoers it
did not equal that felt by those who
witnessed her rehearse the part of
Marion Stanton in "a Woman's
Way" which will be the attraction
at the Orpheum Theatre next week.
Miss Brownell plays as If inspired
the part created by Grace George.
Her comedy will be delightful in its
spontaneity and bubbling freshness.
! Clifford Stork as the husband, the
! character originated by Frank
| Worthing, will give true value and
substance to the piece. Every other
| member of the Corse Payton Stock
Company will be capitally cast. Miss
Mabelle Estelle returns to play Sallie
Livingston, and Harry B. Roche has
a very congenial part in General
Livingston. Joseph w. Girard will
| be seen as Oliver Whitney, Arthur
Jarrett as Bob Livingston, Miss Sadie
Radcliffe as Mrs. Livingston, Miss
Lillian Stuart as Mrs. Belle Morris
and s. K. Fried as Wilson.
! Because of the immense success
1 scored by his wife, Miss Grace

deserved value on this comedy. Be

is wont to satisfy his mind that the

better advantage than does tbs
young American playwright. In fact
Mr.. Buchanan's treatment of thu
theme has caused critics to declare
from coast to coast that the futur'
of the American drama rests in thu
hands of the journalists of this coun
try. The authors whimsicalities NOR

servations of characters and wonder
full touches of nature go to make tn
piece distinctive success.

of East Orange. will also be prom
inent figure in an executive way. The
trade looks upon Mr.. Miles as the
sure steerer of a national trade or
ganization, and while he could, with
out any trouble, give up the cares OF
business, as he is we'll off financially,
it is quite certain that 5. A. Miles
will not do so, as he is not built that
way.
A national dealers organization is
about to be formed here, or at least
an attempt will be made to form
one, and Frederick H. Elliott, for
merly secretary of the American Au-
tomobile Association and the Touring
Club of America, is the man who Is
going to provide this "long felt want"
Most assuredly there is room for a
dealers organization If it is made a
strong one, as the dealer has too often
been the goat" and has gotten more
than his share of butts" You can
count on your two hands the deal
ers in New York who have made
money of any account.
Besides the national organization
would be for the betterment of the
trade, and would undoubtedly steady
it and do away with many of the
abuses that have sprung up owing
to more or less irresponsible compe-
tition and management.

PANAMA EXHIBIT
State Chamber Of Commerce
Prepares to Set Special
Committee at Work.

JERSEY CITY, y. j.. May IL
The New Jersey State Chamber of
Commerce will soon have special
committee at work on plans for an
effective New Jersey exhibit at the
Panama Pacific International EXPOSE
rion. The trustees have approved
the idea and have proposed that the
committee cooperate with the State
commission in presenting the splen-
did facilities of New Jersey to those
who attend the exposition.
The department of commerce and
industry of the state chamber is to
present a broad and comprehensive
plan of Industrial development for
the consideration of manufacturers,
shippers and transportation COM
panies, according to the preliminary
report of Ernest Biardot, of Jersey
City, chairman of the transportation
committee. Mr.. Biardot believes that
a closer acquaintance on the part OF
producer, shipper and carrier will
make possible a businesslike plan OF
promoting growth. The department,
through its Statewide representation,
will endeavor TO overcome the OBJ
stacles which at present keep the
manufacturers and jobbers of New
Jersey from markets which they
otherwise would enjoy if less time
were required to make delivery. The
chamber will cooperate as well with
local boards of trade in an effort to
locate new industries in cities where
an economy in the cost of manufac-
ture can be effected.
The committee on roads and high
ways, which has just been appointed
by President Heppenheimer, consists
of the following members: Allen K.
White, Atlantic City, chairman; T.
Frank Appleby, Asbury Park; Walter
]. Buzby. Atlantic City; George B.
corsa, Bound Brook; Charles W. En-
mis-, Morristown; Carleton Godfrey,
Atlantic City, and C. H. Oakley,
Trenton.
While this committee, together with
the committee on agriculture, will
give considerable attention to the
southern part of the State, the
chamber will seek, through its sew
eral standing committees, to conserve
the interests of every county in New
Jersey.

lines provided by Charles Dickson for
the book are of such sparkling,
rapid-fire sort that the play is brim-
ming with laughs.
Otto Hauerbach wrote the lyrics,

is evidenced by the quick popularity
achieved by the "Yama Yama" song,
in which Miss Bessie Mccoy, now
Mrs. Richard Harding Davis,
achieved such a success, Miss Stella
Tracy will sing the "Yama Yama''
song, supported by a chorus, in the
dancing number that has had so many
imitators.

staged, one of the scenes representing
the beach at Sea View and the other
being in sanitarium, where much of
the fun occurs.

John A. Bernhard. of counsel for
Laudisi, objected. on the ground that
the obtaining of the conversation from
third party would be the same as
allowing the husband to testify
against the wife. Mr.. Van Blarcom
contended that the rule only worked
when only husband and wife were
present at a conversation. Judge Os-

The dilatory methods of the Board
of Freeholders and particularly of
the special committee having In
charge the granting of salary in
creases to county employees, has
caused a storm of protest to go up
from all the workers in the Court
House and different county institu-
lions.
A year ago the board adopted a
plan to get rid of the constant stream
of requests for increases in salary by
announcing that all increases would
be considered at one time, in April.
just before the annual fiscal meeting
of the board. As result, the heads
of all departments as early as last
January began sending in their lists
for consideration.
These lists, as fast as received, were
handed to Freeholders Gilbert and
Waters, as special committee on
salaries, in reality a branch of the
finance committee. At every meet
ing recently it has been expected that
the recommendations of the commit
Tee WOulu Dt SlNeu " INT lull Dodl VI
but 1t has not taken place.
Mr.. Gilbert says he is ready to re-
port. So does Mr.. Waters, but the
trouble seems to be that they are not
both ready to report at the same
time. Next Thursday is now the date
set for final considera ton of the sal
airy increases and in the meantime
about $50 county employees in the
Court House and twice as many out
side are wondering if they are going
to be the lucky ones to draw in
creases. It is conceded that less than
half the salary increases asked for
will go through.
And il Messrs. Gilbert and
Waters and the rest of the members
of the Board of Freeholders have any
kindly feeling at all for the Court
House newspaper scribes, they will
settle the salary question at once.
On an average of 999 times a day for
the last three months each scribe
working at the Court House has had
this question shot at him: When
are the freeholders going to act on
the salary Increases"
