The Turner's gave barn dance
Saturday evening which was enjoyed
jby a large crowd. The gentlemen all
wore oyeralls, whife the ladies wore
calico dresses. The stage was set
with a realistic farm scene-the old
farm house, with pumpkins and corn
stalks in abundance. The music to
which these farm" boys and girls
danced was the strains of cello, vio-
lin and .concertina, just like regular,
o1d-fashioned barn dance. A good
time was had by all.

"TRAFFIC IN SOULS" FILMS
ON VIEW AT SHUBERT

The attraction at the Shubert Thea
tire next week will be Traffic in
Souls" the spectacular moving pic
ture based upon the Rockefeller white
slave report and upon the grand jury
investigation, undertaken by District
Attorney Whitman, of New York
A performance will be given each
afternoon, and two each evening The
picture was produced by the Univer-
sal Film Company, at a cost of nearly
$4,000, and 800 actors are used to de-
pict the 700 scenes. The scenes are
mostly laid in New York and show
the pitfalls that are laid for young
girls in shops, at the large steamship
piers and at the dance halls by the
agents of the vice interests. They
portray also the inner working of the
organized vice interests and the
adroit manner in which they divide
their field and their profits.
Traffic in Souls" was staged at the
suggestion of a number of prominent
social workers, who felt that this was
the best way to make public the les
sons to be drawn from the vice inves-
legations. The films have been ap-
proved by the National Board of Cen
sors.
The management of the Shubert
Theatre claim that there is absolutely
nothing in the pictures to offend the
most sensitive.

cess from the moment the curtain
rises on the first act. And the fact
that the progress of the play Is ac-
companied by a moral lesson, con-
veyed in an atmosphere OF almost
constant laughter. furnishes an ap-
peal that Is irresistible and altogether
satisfying.
Elsie Ferguson has achieved a sue
cess Of unusual proportions in her
new comedy, THE Strange Woman, =
by william Hurlbut. She came to the
Lyceum Theatre In New York for
an engagement limited to five weeks.
Messrs Klaw and Erlanger soon
realized that her stay would have to
be extended and they were able, for
tunately, to transfer her to their
Gaiety Theatre, where she win re-
main indefinitely. This has been some
thing of q ''red-letter" year for Miss
Ferguson. Her wonderful ability has
obtained recognition, she has popu-
lar play and tributes have been paid
to her from all sections of society

Company within the past week asking
that 1.-THE Travelling Salesman" which
was produced last week, be followed
by another comedy on the same style
Several persons suggested Browns

that the play was secured for stock
production at the Orpheum Theatre.

The anarchists, who follow their self
chosen leader, blow up the ship, and
| one of the most spectacular scenes in
the play shows the wreck at sea and
"Snuffy" and "Hammerstein' floating
on a raft out into the ocean. The sec
ond act shows everybody in the Land
of Impossible, and the story, written
| and humorously constructed that il is

SHUBERT TO PRESENT
1.-THE FAMILY CUPBOARD"

Next week at the Shubert Theatre,
Newark, will be seen THE Family
Cupboard" the Owen Davis drama,
which has been at William A.
Brady's Playhouse since the middle
of August. After Newark the play
will go on tour, embracing the larger
cities of the East and Middle West.
The owen Davis drama of domes-
tic infelicity has earned considerable
popularity during its long stay at
the Playhouse In New York. Under
taking a subject OF serious purpose
the play treats II in q forceful way
and introduces problems that are
virile without being vicious. Per-
haps startling at times, the play Is
nevertheless impressive and convince
ing. Another reason for its popu-
larity has been the abundance of
humor that the play possesses. New
types bring this new brand of COM
edy into the drama and offsetting
the tenser moments make an eve
ning's entertainment considerably
worth while.
The cast remains the same as 1t
was during the closing weeks at the
Playhouse, comprising William Nor
ris, Olive Harper Thorne, Franklin
Ardell, Irene Romano, John Bowers,
Alice Lindahl, John Cromwell, Felice
Morris, Frank Hatch, Louise Aichel,
Harry Redding and Frank Andrews.

KEENEY'S HAS BIG BILL
FOR CHRISTMAS WEEK

Edgar Allan Poe with his Imp of
the Perverse" produced nothing more
human and instructive than the play
let, Dope" which doc" Kaltoff and
his company will present at the
Keeney Theatre during the first half
Of the coming week. The playlet is
psychologist in Its significance. 1t has
! flashes of humor which are like the
| lightning flashes in a storm at night
they brighten an otherwise dark
situation.
| Another feature act of the bill dur
| ing the first half of the week is Tall
man, known as "the worlds greatest
exhibition pool and billiard expert. !"
His especial virtue is his versatility.
There are those who can make better
Individual shots than Tallman, but
there are few or none who can make
so many different kinds of shots with
the precision that produces results.
Tom and Stasia Moore, eccentric
entertainers, win contribute their
more than mite to the laugh produ-
cling quality of the entertainment An
acrobatic turn that is more than or
binary, by reason OF It's novelty as
well as because of its comic and sem
sational features. will be presented
in person by Valverno and Lahore.
In arranging a vaudeville bill for
the Yuletide an effort is always made
to provide something which will
please the children. In quest of such
an attraction Mr.. Keeney was fortu-
nate to procure such a drawing card
as Robbins elephants. &c. o. p" and
sc. o. p, jr." These two vast and
versatile pachyderms will come to
Newark afoot, like tramp actors,
using the brand-new link in the pros
pective Atlantic-Pacific highway.
They will wear signs to let the pub
lie know what kind of animals they
are, lest they might be mistaken for
a Democratic incursion.
A speciality at the Keeney house
will be a New Years eve perform
ance, beginning at IL p. M, seats
being reserved in advance. Indica-
lions are there will be large at
tendance, capacity business having
been the rule at the new playhouse
since it made its change in policy
from stock to vaudeville.

and succeed in doing so until he
comes to town unexpectedly one day
and pays a visit to his son and
daughter-in-law. The complicated
situation which arises when father
in-law and daughter-in-law are in
troduced to each other under differ
ent names is exceptionally funny and
will give the members of the Brown

to display their ability along lines
of comedy
Miss Brownell, who has met with
