1.-THE MARRIAGE BROKER"
Is LIKED BY LYRIC PATRONS

THE Marriage Broker is the head
liner in an excellent vaudeville bill
offered at the Lyric Theatre this
week. Harry First and Company pre-
sent the sketch and it's scream.
Harry First is noted as one of the
cleverest and most versatile Hebrew
dialect comedians on the vaudeville
stage and his work in 1.-THE Marriage
Broker is deserving of much credit.

There are girls of every description
in the company. If you don't happen
to like the one who dances at the
end of the line you'd be sure to like
the other seventeen. And If you are
not especially fond of girls the COM
edians will give you the time Of your
life. Some of the comedy sprung last
night was worthy to be jotted down
on ones cuff as a reminder to tell 1t
to the bunch" However. the girls
who take part in the college Girls'
company are clever dancers and
singers and have the knack of pleas
ing a skeptical Newark audience.
And that's going some.

WHITE IS
WASHINGTON HIT

THE Visitor" a sketch that is all
wool and yard WIDE" heads a we'll
balanced bill at the Washington The
atre on Washington street, for the
first part of the week. The playlet is
headed by Porter White, who has al
ways been favorite in local theat-
rical circles. He is supported by a
company OF clever artists.
Orville Stamm is the original strong
boy He bills himself as the Worlds
Youngest Hercules" and if you miss
seeing his antics with 200 and BOO
pound weights you viii always regret
it. Evidently the high cost Of living
has not caused him to go hungry.
Stanley and Miols have clever lit
tie marionette act that made big
impression on the audience last night.
It's novel entertainment and bound
to please.
Miss Grace Dixon, a charming come
dienne, has a style and grace all her
own, and made II touching appeal for
popular favor. She was well encored.
Mort Sharp was introduced to the
audience as a rare treat and a big
surprise, and he was. He is mono
logue artist of rare ability, and the
way he cut a swath in old King
Gloom was a caution.
The last of the week there's to be
some more laughable feasts at the

leading vaudeville stars.

and stamped her as a splendid eno-
tional actress.
Miss Dorothy Dorr, as Kate Loczs
wood, the woman of the underworld,
had trying and difficult role, but ae-
quilted herself most capably, espe-
cially in the scenes with Wilson, the
politician, and her partner, where he
threatens her and she defies him to do
his worst
Miss Susanna Willis, as Carrie, the
negro maid of the Lockwood woman,
had another trying role to portray,
but did so in a manner that won her
deserved plaudits from the audience
Miss Lola May as a white slave"
victim, and Miss Lucia Moore as
Mrs Jones, the sick mother of Sylvia,
more than made good in smaller
roles.
Vincent Serrano as Bob McCanley,
the secret service agent, played with
a spirit that was refreshing after
watching the work of some other
stage detectives. He looked and acted
like the real thing" and moreover
had the quiet, unobtrusive manner OF
the United States sleuth down to a
! nicely.
George Probert, as Paul, the hus-
band of the Lockwood woman, has
about as hard role as man was ever
called on to portray on the stage.
The double of Mr.. Probert's role can
be seen smirking and smiling on
street corners of every big city, and
1t is the best tribute to the skill OF
Mr.. Probert to say that main floor.

Edwin Holt as Jim Wilson, the

school, and made the white shaving

character. Both Mr.. Holt and Mr.

Picturesque scenes and pretty girls

Panama, at the Newark Theatre
this week. With commendable ear
nestness these two endeavor to look
and act like their originals, who first
appeared in a series of comics from
the pen of the lleenly humorous
Bud Fisher. That they succeed is
attested by the vociferous merriment
with which their FRANKS are greeted

1t is doubtful If the general make

Cooperative Stores Cut
Cost of Living in Alaska

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-High liy-
ing cost practically has ceased TO
give the Alaskan natives any serious
concern since the government,
through the federal bureau of educa-
ton, has aided in establishing co
operative supply stores at several
points. These stores carry all the
goods that the natives desire and sell
at a price that traders cannot meet
Heretofore, the bureau says, trad
ers charged exofbitant prices for
goods they sold the natives and pur-
chased native products at ridiculously
low figures. To meet this situation
and protect the natives the bureau
of education undertook the estab-
lishment OF cooper alive stores, man
aged by the natives under the super
vision of the, public school teachers.

PROCTOR PROGRAM
REPLETE WITH FUN

Replete with nonsense, the head
liner sketch at Proctor,s this week,
"The Water Cure is one of the best
laugh manufacturers seen here this
season. Allan Brooks, as a New York
clubman, in the throes Of the d. t's.,
has the audience roaring from his
first appearance to the finish of the
sketch. His attempt to navigate a
spiral staircase is especially funny.
During the progress OF the piece, the
scene of which Is Sanitariuin, several
musical numbers are introduced by
Mr.. Brooks and his company of nine.
Miss Claire Vincent supported by
Frank H. Gardner and Walter r.
Boss. Wed with the headliner for pop
nlarity in an eternal triangle sketch
by Richard Warner entitled 1.-THE
Fool One man warns the other
against the woman The woman eX =
poses the informant as gambler and
q crook, but the gambler shows that
he is the father OF the man he is try
ing to save from her. The sketch is
laid around the meeting of the three.
Great Newark favorites, Joe Jenny
and his Empire City -Four, return to
Proctor's this week i'm an entertain
Ing program of song. The quartet
still retain their title as the funniest
In America. They ranked high on
last nights program.
Another very popular number on
the bill is that of Lee Barth, who
tells funny dialect stories in funny
way. He is deservedly praised and
st might be said that he gets by on his
stories and manner of telling them
without the aid of any of the usual
horseplay or claptrap used by the
comedians.
Others who had their names in
scribed on the meritorious list last
night were Valentine yox, an I'M
usually clever ventriloquist; Nevins
and Nevins, THE Typewriter and the
Type" MacRae and Byrnes, sharp
shooters, and Mary Elizabeth, a
musical comedy favorite.
The latter deserved a far better re.
ception than she got and she had
reason to be Disguised with the au-
1iknces' indifference. The "Up and
Down Zeraldas," equilibrists, are the
opening number and do fairly well.
This leaves but Lilly Long to men,
ton We ask with the others who
asked last night. will Lilly Long
last long?'' She is a Coincidence but
she. doesn't get by. Why? It's hard
tostell, but she is a decidedly English
music hall type. and, of course. she
tells those difficult English jokes
wherein you see the point before II
is sprung.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Uninteresting Trading During
Most of Day, Closing Firmer.

Another Monday passed and the Su
preme Court failed to hand down de-
cision in the Minnesota rate case,
which left Wall Street unsettled and
the stock market with a very dull tone
until the announcement was made
that the United States Court at st.
Paul had taken under consideration
the application of the Union Pacific
officials for an extension of time of the
merger dissolution until July |. When
the information reached Wall Street
that the United states judges at st.
Paul had agreed TO consider the extern
sion of time AMI consult with the Su-
preme Court favorable Interpretation
was placed on the news by traders,
and both Union and Southern Pacific
developed some strength There was
little effect on the remainder or the
list. however. and the tone OF dulness
and lack Of interest exhibited in the
earlier transactions continued. The
news from abroad regarding the Con-
tinental developments, although very
favora BILE failed TO impress the local
stock market. irrespective of the fact
that in point Of constructive influence
the settlement Of the Balkan differ
ences seemed to have passed the ques-
ton period, and the ascendancy on the
only matter Of time.
A situation Of peculiar uncertainty
impressed students OF investments.
The ready absorption Of the S1O,OOOO0
New York Central one-year per cent
notes. which were sold within one hour,
indicated that at the right price there
is money for the purchase Of high class
offerings. but in other directions there
was pressure in investment securities.
with prices declining below previous
levels. One special instance was the
selling OF Rock Island collateral trust
as as low as Cos. Another was in the
selling Of New York City bonds at new
low records.
In the money market there was no
decided change. except that an easier
tone prevailed in short-time loans, due
doubtless TO the better return of the
local banks on Saturday, which re-
suited I'm some relaxation among loan
ing institutions, making them more
willing to extend their Wall Street ac-
commodations. The prevailing rate OF
call money was at 3 per cent. although
some loans were reported at 80 per
cent. The closing transactions on the
Stock Exchange displayed a firme-
tendency of prices. but the rise ali
peared TO he due TO the professional
interests which have appeared from
time to time rec ntly to force a cover
ing OF the shorts and establish for the
time being an upward tendency.
