CASINO.

Minstrelsy of the most enjoyable kind
interlarded with the laughable antics
and comments of Josie Flynn, who is
counted one of the funniest women IL
vaudeville, is offered as the chief at
traction at the Casino Theater this
week by the Merry Minstrel Maids. ''
The lend men," in blackface, Miss
Flynn and Emma Krause, are thorough
ly effective, while Bertha Woods makes
a good interlocutor. Songs, sentimental
and comical, are provided.

Miss F1ynn's laughable work, are her
songs, THE Village Blachsmith'' and

COLUMBIA

The Columbia players this week
present the Clyde Fitch semi-tragic
comedy. The Girl With the Green
Eyes" In the role of jimmy" the
young wife who lets an all too fam
boyant and extravagant imagination
run riot over the suspicious. but HARM
less actions Of her husband in reference
to his relations with the girl her BROTH
er loves (and has secretly married al
belt the brother is already married to
maid in the employ of his sister,,
Miss Helen Holmes has rather a thank
less role, but she plays with the same
charm, discretion, and insight which
characterized her excellent first i'm
preston last Monday night.
As John Austin, the young husband
whose domestic affairs are so sadly dis
torted. A. H. Van Buren gives his usual
yirile conception with no mock-heroios
in a role which smacks OF melodrama-
Helen Hayes Brown is the plain-spoken
and excited little sister who assists at
the wedding in the first act, chief duty,
rice and shoe throwing, and label past
ing.
Ruth Chester, the girl with whom the
brother is in love, and OF Whom, jimmy
is so needIessly jealous. while the part
of the brother, Geoffrey Tillman, is
taken by Everett Butterfield. A SEEM
ing lack of conviction on the part Of
Miss Bernard in the third act is due
rather to q defect in the play from too
much hidden and rapid action than to
any lack on the part of the player, who
is quite sincere and appealing.
Seeds of suspicion dropped at the time
of the wedding take root in fertile
Imagination, and, as the relations OF
her husband and Ruth Chester become
more and more involved, poor jimmy is
the unhappy victim Of her own mis-
trust, and finally accuses her husband
outright.
In a frenzy of hopeless rage at her
stubborn misinterpretation Of his ac-
tions, Austin leaves her, just as she
learns, all too late. that he was merely
trying to shield her from the knowl-
edge Of her brothers cowardly actions.
She tries to kill herself. but, of course,
he comes back in time to forgive and
save her.
Other members of the company are
seen in minor Toles-George Barber and
Carrie Thatcher. as the girls father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Tillman: Ar

frey has married, and Arthur Ritchie
and Miss Glendenning. as Miss Culling-

"BEN-HUR" AGAIN
!. SHOWS POPULARITY
Spectacular Production Meets
Same Warm Reception as
on Initial Production.

Ahu noN. dlter tIlrteen years OF triV-
cling to the four corners of the earth,
enthrilling and interesting theater-go-
ing peoples wherever the drama is
known, Ben Hur," based on that liter
ary masterpiece of Gen. Lew Wallace is
again in Washington.
At the National last night, the Klaw
& Erlanger production seen here time
and time again. evoked as much ap-
plause and enthusiasm from a good
sized audience as It did on its initial
bow.
Ben Hur" is the samespectacular pro-
duction, although the details of the
spectacle have been worked out ~ a
greater nicely. and all that is possible
for man to insert into mechanical in
genuity to make scenic effects more
thrilling has been done in this, the lat
est appearance of the drama which has
had such a long run.
More Elaborate.
The production is more elaborate than
ever. The famous chariot race, in
which three charioteers, each driving
four racing horses abreast across the
stage on the moving platform, and
which probably is the most Ingenious
bit OF stage craft having a run of any
length of modern times, has reached
the point of perfection. One little thing
to make it the more real cannot be i'm
agined
The prelude, which also is 4 famous
part of the production, where the three
wise men from different parts OF the
world. each following fleeing star
which will lead them to the birthplace
of 4 newborn King. is an impressive
piece Of stage work. The star appears
In the eastern cky, mere speck, only
to increase In size and radiance in its
retreat, only to again disappear. mere
heck in an Asiatic armament.
Is Inviting.
The housetop of the palace OF Hur,
where Ben-Hur, Messala. the mother,
sister. and nursemaId of Ben-Hur ap-
pear, is an inviting looking place.
Here II is that the accident which re-
suits in the capture of the members of
the family of the House of Hur takes
place.
The attending scenes show the Roman
galley and the slaves at the oars; the
wreck Of the ship, and the rescue OF
Of Daphne, the fountain of Castalia, the
orchard of palms, the great circus at
Antioch. and the arena within where
the race Is held; the vale Of Hinnom,
where the lepers live, and finally Mt.
Oiivet. where the expected Nazarene
holds forth.
and acts the part laid out for that
character by the sIthor. Wedgwood
Ben 6. Mears is an excellent Simonides;
Miss Alice Haynes. as Esther. and Miss
Louise HUFF, at Tirzah, and Miss
Florence Auer, as the mother of Hur,

well. Miss Muriel Godfrey-Turne with

Earnings Of the Southern Railway
Company are showing satisfactory
Improvement over q year ago. Up to
the close of the first week in Feb
ruary gross scored an increase over
the six months ended December 81.
the increase is gross was approxi-
mately 100000 or s.s7 per cent,
while operating income arose a little
over S500,000 or 5k per cent.
For the six months Southern Rail-
preferred stock dividend. The first
six months. however. are always bet
ter than the last, which renders IL
impossible to use the returns for that
period as a basis of computatio nfor
the entire twelve months.
The better exhibit of earnings now
being shown is the result Of a most
conservative policy on the part Of
President Finley and his associates
during the last six years.
The United Cigar Stores Company
has been showing sales during the
last two months at the rate of $40, ,000. 900
O. year. While no general earnings
statement of the three operating COM
panies has been issued, 1t is understood
that the. gross earnings for the twelve
months ended November 30. 1912. were
in the neighborhood of So. 100000. De-
cember showed gain OF approximately
30s over the same month in 1911. and
January's sales increased "a per cent
over January, 1912. -..
Allowing for the usual big holiday
sales in December. the rate of increase
for the two months indicates a 81. 0.000.-
eco year in 1913 for hte worlds largest
retailer of tobacco goods.
The United has 1.100 stores.

him home. Arrangements for his return
to Newark will probably be made this
