On Monday night, December s, at
the Shubert Theatre 1.-THE Lure" will
open for n weeks run. This Is the
first engagement played by "The
Lure" after leaving New York, where

audience of people who give their
life to the aid of humanity Writer'S,
judges, philanthropists. matrons of
the jalls, lawyers. and everybody
who has ever taken an interest in
the human problem of saving souls
of girls who go wrong not because
they want to but because they are
shared in to a life of shame, has
seen this remarkable drama, which
In a night made it's author one of
the most talked of men of the day.
Only ldst week a representative
committee of doctors, numbering one
hundred, attended the play These
men were members OF THE Ameri-
can Society for Sanitary and Moral
Prophylaxis."
Newark should not fail to take
advantage of the engagement here
Of "The Lure" to see what problem
really confronts the unprotected
girls of this city. This Is an oppor-
tunity not to be missed.

CURTAIN CALLS

1t Is rather remarkable that play
house built for one purpose should be
even better adapted for another. but
such Is the case with the new Payton
Theatre, to be known after this week
as the Keeney Theatre. The building
was erected as the home of a stock
company. 1t Is to be used for the
presentation of vaudeville at popular
prices
As a stock house il was admirably
arranged and equipped. AS q yaude-
vile house It's arrangements and
equipment are ideal. A notable fea-
tlIre are the mezzanine boxes, in
which smoking is to be permitted
under the new policy of the house.
AS the performances are to be con-
tinuous from p. m. to IL p. m. there
will be many coming In and going out
while the show is In progress. The
ample spaces between seats and the
exceptional exit facilities will permit
of this with little or no disturbance
to those who remain. The stage is
much larger than that of the ordi-
nary vaudeville house, a condition
which will obviate any possible
crowding or confusion when 1t comes
to the handling Of scenery and prop
critics for big acts.

day from p. m. to IL p. m.
When Frank A. Keeney, the the
atrical man of New York, purchased
the interests of Corse and Joseph
Payton in the new theatre IL was
with the idea of turning il into a
vaudeville house. Under the PAXTON
contracts, however, IL was deemed ad-
visable to allow the stock company
to remain for a limited period Ten
days ago 1t was announced that the
engagement of the company would
close at the end Of the present week
and since then Mr.. Keeney and his
general manager, Ray Owens, have
been negotiating engagements for

"JARDlN DE PARIS" Is
POPULAR WITH DANCERS

Jardin de Paris, at the Hippodrome.
Broad and Hill streets, has captured
the popular fancy and gives promise
of being the most fashionable and
best patronized dancing enterprise in
Newark.
Since the opening last Saturday
night the matinee teas have been
well attended by the young element
of the smart set, who are taking kind
ly to the new dances which are be-
Ing introduced In this city for the
first time.
The evening parties have been ex-
ceptionally large and all who have
participated in the varied dancing
program, which has been provided,
are lavish in their praise of the
splendid and decorous management
of Jardin de Paris. In conjunction
with the dancing program an enter
tanning cabaret is provided, in the
course of which picturesque and ar
tistic dances are introduced by two
great artists, Sheridan Du Pont and
Margaret Nudge. These young peo-
pie are experts in the terpsichorean
art and present beautiful picture

Those who attend the afternoon
dances receive free instruction, II

now being formed for instruction in
the forenoon. For the coming week

"FOLLIES OF THE DAY"
COMING TO MINERS

Theatre goers who are fond of the
best that burlesque offers, will hail
with delight the coming of Barney
Gerard's "Follies of the Day." the
cyclonie musical comedy which en-
joyed a long and prosperous run In
New York and which is the attraction
at Miners Empire Theatre next
week.
This show took New York by storm
and the newspapers were unanimous
in pronouncing 1t one of the cleanest,
brightest and snappiest musical
shows that has been seen for some
time. 1t infuses a spirit of good ma
ture in the audience that is truly re-
markable. There are times when the
observing one in the audience is al
most led to believe that there is a
plot to the follyful thing. but just
when the moment is right for some
one to discover the missing papers.
or the daring adventures to be
caught red-handed, zoom-zoom
sounds the bass fiddle and the music
whirls high and fine with good rag
time, while the whole regiment of
girls float upon the stage, and there
Is something doing which could not
possibly have anything to do with a
connected story.
The show is 80 breezy that arti-
fetal means to cool any theatre where
this show may be playing In the hot
test kind of weather would hardly
be necessary. From first to last 1t
provides laughter-not the quiet, sim
pering laughter we indulge in during

Walter p. Richardson to Have
Title Role in "Squaw Man

Walter P. Richardson, leading man
of the former Corse Payton Stock
Company, which Is to appear In q
special engagement at the Shubert
Theatre next week In 1.-THE Squaw
Man." is especially qualified TO take
the title role. His exceptional abili-
ties that fit him for an artistic imper-
sonation of this interesting character,
and his experience in the part during
his Western engagement in stock has
added to his fitness.
During his comparatively brief stay
in Newark Mr.. Richardson has been
winning golden opinions by his manly
bearing in leading roles and his quick
and sure apprehension of the oppor-
tunities and requirements of every
situation his part may call upon him
to meet. He says he likes Newark and
declares Newark audiences are ap-
preciative and intelligently critical.
He is great believer In studying an
audience and playing right to that
audience, instead of applying any
theories and expecting the audience
to give them spontaneous approval
He says 1t is up to the actor to- give
the audience what 1t wants and not
up to the audience to give unqualified
Indulgence to the actor.

COMPANY PLAYS
WEEK AT SHUBERT

At the Shubert Theatre next week
the former Corse Payton Stock Conn.,
pany will fill a special engagement in
THE Squaw Man." the intense and
picturesque Western drama which
really made William Faversham a
star. The drawing quality of this
piece has been evidenced wherever II
has been presented. 1t has a heart
interest which never fails or flags In
its appeal.
One phase of this successful drama
is the contrast 1t presents between
the aristocracy of old England and
the rough-and-ready types of life on
the Western plains. The principal
character, the Squaw Man, is an
aristocrat, who goes into the Indian
country and becomes a part of its
primitive yet eventful life. He there
falls in love with a beautiful Indian
girl, Nat U-Rich. daughter of Tab
wana, peace chief of the Yutes.
Around this love story the tense ac-
ton of the play revolves.
The types presented are unique and
are set off by the Incidents and en-
vlronments with fine sense of dra-
matte Characterization. With such a
strong acting organization as the for
mer Peyton company the engagement
should mean a good weeks business
for the Shubert Theatre. In fact, this
is indicated by the advance sale of
seats.
Among the Payton favorites who
will appear in the piece are Walter
p. Richardson, the talented leading
man, in the title role; Lee Sterrett,
one of the best character actors ever
n stock in Newark, who takes the
part of Tabwana; Joseph w Girard,
who has a fine opportunity for dis
play of his power in Characterization
in the person of Bluff and Rough Bill,
the foreman; Arthur Jarrett, as Sir
John Apologize, a foppish English
army officer, and Miss Marian
Swayne, the charming ingenue of the
company, who takes the part OF the
Indian girl with whom the Squaw
Man falls in love. In the new leading
lady, Miss Jean Murdoch. who Joins
the company for the weeks engage
ment. the MANAGEMENT of the enter
prise has made a find" She is not
only one of the most beautiful women
who ever set foot on a Newark stage.
but also a talented actress with an
enviable record of popularity In stock
in other cities.
A special scenic production is being
prepared for the piece by the COM
pany's own artist, Harry @. Bennett.
Shows will be given both afternoon
and evening daily at popular prices.
