Fields Annual OPENING" Record
Breaking Event.


The annual opening Of the theatrical
season at the Auditorium was conduct
ed, as usual by All. g. Field and bis
band Of minstreIs yesterday afternoon.
and last night, and the fact that nearly
five thousand people paid admission
goes to show that the company loses
none OF its popularity as its age IN
creases. All records for show attend
ance in this city we're sent tumbling,
and yet the Auditorium management
states that hundreds were turned away
because they could not find even COM
Portable standing room. Extra seats
were placed at the front and rear Of the
house, but these were sold out long be-
fore the curtain went up. 1t is doubt
ful IL this record will be.equaled by any
city in the South, seeing that Asheyille's
figures exceed the attendance this sea-
son at Cincinnati, Columbus, Louisville,
Lexington. Chattanooga and Knoxville.
In fact, it was the biggest paid attend
ance the Auditorium has ever known.
It may be that the fact that Fields
press agents youched for the truth Of
the statement that this year they had
something new went far to draw out
the crowds, but whatever it was, the
crowds we're there and they were pleased.
This years show includes many novel
tiesand new settings. The opening scene
shows a camp Of United State soldiers
10 Panama, and the circle includes a
military representation Of the various
nations. There is also a new crop of
Jokes, brand new ones, and this is an
unusual feature for a minstrel show.
Selections were sung by West Alvey,
Walter Sherwood, Billy Argall, Bert
Swor, Billy Clark, Jack Richards, Har-
nv Frillman, and Johnny Dove. He
Blew on His Bugle-eoo," Billy Clark s
selection, made big hit, and he was
recalled several times. Encores were
given literally to the other singers.
Johnny Dove was seen in dancing
act, THE Days Of 81, !" and this was
followed by the Aviation Meet, a
skit. The Three Tyres in a musical
act made big hit and were recalled
several times. This is strictly vaude-
vile feature, but it finds ready accept
ance in the Field presentation. A skit,
In Panama, closed the performance,
this being burlesque on the movies, -

these names, used as dummies, were
taken from the list there were left only
fourteen who were actually controlling
every big corporation in the city Of New
York. and behind these fourteen were
two invisible and controlling forces, the
Standard Oil and Morgan. The death
Of Morgan made no difference. The
difference between trust and competi-
tive business is that a trust is perpetual
ed with the directors undergoing sue
cession by death or otherwise while the
business OF a single corporation or indi-
yidual is transferred or liquidated. This
record he took before the Senate and
pointed out Mr.. Depew who was one
OF the dummies. The Iatter. made no
reply.
The money trust was the greatest OF
all the evils in business, and the objec-
ton he had to the Currency bill, now
in the hands OF the Senate committee,
was that it did not go far enough. The
bill provides for an elastic currency IN
times Of stringency, but did not cover
the defects of the banking system in
ordinary times. He stated that he
would offer an amendment to the bill.
Mr.. LaFollette, in order to give better
idea of what the trusts are trying to do,
asked the audience what it meant to
control the items Of iron and coal alene
Iron is used 10 the manufacture OF al
most every article in the home, in build
ing or on the farm, and without it peo-
pie would be almost helpless, Everyone
understands the value Of coal, Il the
entire output Of these things should be
controlled by few unprincipled men
the balance OF the world would be in
slavery. The steel trust is a comblna-
ton organization now covering two con-
tinents. In Mr. LaFollett's opinion the
future coal supply, the iron and product
Of the mines shonld be controlled by
the Government, and many great men
are coming to think his way.
Mr.. LaFollette related his five sue
cessive races for Governor OF Wiscon-
sin. The first two races he was defeat
ed. The. next race he made was sue
cessful, but the Legislature was bought,
and SO the next again by the buying OF
five Senators. AT last in the fifth race
his own election was overwhelming and
that Of the Legislature to- his views, and
into the laws Of Wisconsin were drafted
reform measures in the interest OF the
people.
Mr.. LaFollette was sorry that he could
not be in Union City longer but he hac
to leave for GAINESVILLE. He hoped tc
| fire some young man in the audience
to take up his work. He concluded by
saying that be believed that Christ hac
intended the democracy OF the new
world to sweep the nations Of the earth
and that finally when his official life il
done he would write lecture and cal
it the Democracy of Christ.
The audience cheered heartily through
out and greeted the speaker with mos
cordial reception.
