Miss BrowneII and Mr.. Stork
Reap Applause in Love
Watches at Shubert's.

A delightfully."- breezy and enter
tanning production Of Love
Watches" Miss Billie Burkes old
starring vehicle, was that given by
the Brownell- Stork Stock Company
at the shubert Theatre last night
with Miss Mabel Brownell carrying
off most of the honors.
As Jacqueline, the wanting-to-be-
loved and Jealous little spitfire, Miss
Brownell was most winsome and low
able at all times. The role fitted
her probably better than anything
she has appeared in during her long
stay in this city, and her perform
ance suffers not one whit by compar-
ison with that of Miss Burke, who
achieved such a success i'll Love
Watches that she played it for sew
eral seasons.
Miss Brownell was chic and tnry at
all times and portrayed the wild and
passionately loving girl to perfection.
In her work she was ably assisted by
Clifford Stork, in real life, as in his
stage character last night, her hus-
band. 1t is doubtful if even on his
real honeymoon Mr.. Stork received
as many kisses from his wife as he
night and, as one lady sitting behind
the writer naiyely remarked, The
seemed to like them just as well as
| il Miss Brownelll was not his real
wife"
To that sterling actor, Edward Van
Sloan, must be accorded the stellar
honors among the men last night,
as his performance OF Ernest Au-
garde, the absent-minded writer of
history was distinctively clever
piece of work.
Another neat bit OF work was that
of George Dawson Clark as the
Able Merlin, who, through capable
work, was able to extract considera-
BILE comedy from a clerical role with
out in the least offending the dignity
of the most captious critic.
Miss Alice Parks Warren was an
other to add to her reputation gained
in this city during her stay at the
Shubert, and she was delightful as
the rather sarcastic but always low
able old aunt of Jacqueline. Walter
Hill as Carteret, the father of JAG
| queline, played the character of the
French roue type to perfection.
Others who helped to make the per-
Torrance big success were Miss Au-
gusta West Miss Florence Bur-
roughs, whose work was far better
than in the two preceding weeks;
Miss Estelle LaVelle, Miss Margaret
Dane. Miss Margery West and Miss
Gabrielle Ross, William C. Walsh, j..
]. Russell Webster and William Car
ter.
Next week will be the final week of
the Brownell-Stork engagement at
the Shubert Theatre, and Clyde
Fitch's powerful drama, "a Woman
in the Case" will be the attraction.
At the end of the third act last night
MIR. Stork appeared in front of the
curtain and announced that owing to
popular demand the company would
next week play Monday matinee in
addition to the regular evening per-
Torrance.

VAUDEVILLE GEMS ARE IN
o PROPULSION AT PROCTOR'S

Vaudeville gems of the first water
are encased in the Proctor setting for
this week. Every one of the ten
"stones" are brilliant. sparkling pieces
of work. The one that outshines the
others is Edwin Stevens and his aide,
Miss Tina Marshall, who get their
lustre through little sketch entitled
1.-THE troubles of r. and j." The
sketch is rare one, winning most Of
its success through the personality
Of Mr. Stevens, who was the late
star of 1.-THE Devil

ces, 'those two girls" Remember
them? The quiet one with the sad
little face and the other boisterous
tango movement one? Muriel and
Frances are not a bit dimmed by
their surroundings, but rather are
shown to better advantage. They sing
and move and talk in way that
brings. out cyclones of laughter.
On the other side of the Stevens
gem, and Of equal radiance with the
two pleasing girls, is William Sisto,
presenting His First Speech" and
other entertaining stunts. Sisto is

ENGINEER BLAMED
IN FATAL WRECK
Coroner Mix AbsoIves New
Haven Road of RESPONSE
bility for Crash.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Sept. 1s.-
Relieving the New Haven officials
from any responsibility for the wreck
at North Haven, in which twenty-one
lives were lost, Coroner eli Mix last
night placed the blame on August B.
Miller, engineer of the White Noun
tain express, which crashed into the
Bar Harbor special, and Brace C.
Adams, conductor. and Charles N.
Murray, flagman of the Bar Harbor
train.
That this would be the finding, so
far as Miller was concerned, was pre-
saged yesterday when he was ar
rested at the request of States Attor-
ney Arnon A. Alling on bench war
rant issued by Judge eager in the
criminal side of the Superior Court.
The holding of Murray crininally re-
sponsible was expected by railroad
men. but that Conductor Adams
would be held was not thought likely
Miller was brought into court and
charged with n1anslaughter He
pleaded not guilty and the case was
continued until the October term. He
was released on $4,000 bail.
Flagman Murray will be arraigned
today. Both he and Miller were out

engineers union and the latter's by

"QUO VADlS" STILL DRAWS
CROWDS AT THE NEWARK

The management of the Newark
Theatre has been successful in its
efforts to give Newark theatre goers
another chance to see the beautiful
and thrilling quo Vadis' motion
pictures at the theatre this week.
The pictures will be shown every
afternoon and evening To say that
the pictures are good would be put
ting it mildly: they are wonderful,
and by reason of this fact they have
already thrilled a vast number of
spectators in theatres week after
week in New York, Chicago, Boston
and other large cities throughout the
country. Already there has been a
large demand for tickets for this
week. and the management is conf
dent of crowded houses for the
week.
Among the patrons who saw tho
pictures last night We're many who
evidently had seen them the first
week they were shown at the New
ark. Amusement seekers who have
not already seen the photo play
should take advantage of the or
portunity and go to the Newark
Theatre this week. In answer to the
supposition prevalent among those
who have not seen the pictures. let it
be said that in no way is II boring
while they are being shown, Eight
minute intermissions take place be-
tween the three parts.
Tho pictures are clear and do not
flicker. as do many motion pictures
which are displayed. The scenes are
SO perfectly enacted down to every
minute detail that the spectator fair
ly lives and breathes with the actors
in the play. The characters in "Quo
Vadis' are all actors of exceptional
ability. and this fact, combined with
