MISS BROWNELL SCORES
IN "CARMEN" AT ORPHEUM

In Prosper Merimee's highly emo
tional play, Carmen" being pro-
duced at the Orpheum Theatre this
week, the versatility of the members
of the Payton Stock Company is sub
jected to a severe test. Especially is
this so of the title role portrayed by
Mabel Brownell. the leading lady of
the company. who as Carmen. the
gypsy girl, added considerably to her
reputation as an emotional actress.
Carmen is cigarette maker in
Seville, Spain, whose fondest oceu-
patton is to break the hearts of
men. Imprisoned for stabbing one
of her shopmates, ashe induces Don
Jose, an officer who is her guard,
to aid her in escaping.
Don Jose is so infatuated by the
pretty but deceitful gypsy maiden
that he deserts the army and follows
her to smugglers' retreat in the
mountains. Her affection for Don
Jose cools somewhat at the appear
ance of Lucas Mendez, a handsome
bullhghter. Finding that she has
turned her attentions to Mendez, Jose
kills her, although she confesses,
when she is dying. that she loved
him. not Mendez
Miss Brownell was ably supported
by Clifford Stork, who played the

MISS ALCOTT'S GREAT
NOVEL, STAGED, SCORES
Spectator Necessarily Feels
Better and Happier for
Having Seen Play.
Welcome. welcome. little stranger,
Fenr no hnrIn and fenr no dnnger.

Welcome. welcome. little stranger
Fear no harm and fear no danger
We are glad to see you here,
For You sing, Sweet spring is near."
When Louisa NJ. Alcott wrote the
years old. The literary promise of
her childhood was fully realized in
the novel. Little Women" which
has been a joy, a solace, an inspira-
ton to millions of readers.
And now. instead of reading, one
may have the additional pleasure of
seeing the love-inspiring characters
Of the book. animated and enacting
their respective parts to the very
life on the STAGE at Shubert's Theatre
here.
And right here let it be under
stood that this enehantingly beautiful,
Eliminated novel, despite its dramatic
FORM is, after ALL a novel and not
drama. II serves most strikingly
to illustrate the difference between
novel and a drama. It lacks the
basic element essential to drama
conflict.
Let this not seem to be intended
as a disparagement of the merit OF
Marian De Forest, who cast the
novel into its dramatic mold. 1t is
said that she purposely RETAINED
| from altering in the slightest degree
the motives which actuate the char
acters, justly fearing that the pub
| lie to which the novel had become
so endeared might resent such temer-
| itv as little short of literary yandal-
ism.
1t would have cost but little effort
or exercise of imagination to conceive
of. say, Laurie and Professor Baehr
at swords points in q rivalry for
the hand of 10, or of 10 and Amy
conspiring against each other to win
Laurie or Professor Baehr. Yet this
trifing change In the even tenor of
the booI1-this conflict and the in
evitabe consequences it would have
produced, would have resulted in a
true drama.
But Marian De Forest chose. rather,
to adhere closely to the story, and
the result has been that, instead of
drama, we find a succession of
animated chapters or living pictures
misnamed acts
But, oh. how beautiful these staged
chapters, these animated pictures
arel They are jammed full of nj
ternate laughter and tears. and when
the curtain descends for the last time
the spectator feels that he has grown
better for the pathos and happier for
the ioy that have passed I'm review
| before him.
! The acting last night as a whole
was excellent. The only adverse
criticism that may be justly made
is that at times some of the per-
formers did not enunciate quite clear
| ly. 1t seems almost treason to say
80 in view of her otherwise splendid
acting, but the worst offender In re-
| gard, to enunciation was Miss Marie
/ Pavey She Is 10 in the play, and
as every word she utters is fraught
with exquisite wit and philosophy

City Has Exposition of
Fashion.

Many persons hocked to the ball
room of the Washington today. where
the mems fashion show is being held
under the auspices of the Custom
Tailors' Club of Newark Consider
able interest is being manifested in
the exhibit.
The show opened last night with a
large attendance. Oscar Dahlgren,
chairman of the show committee, was
the first speaker, and he announced
that the exhibit was held to interest
Newarkers in home trade. He de-
clared the visitors to the show would
be convinced that it was unnecessary
to go outside of the city for clothing
and haberdashery. and also that the
work of the local tailors was as good,
if not better, than the work of outside
tailors.

Henry Fireman, president of the
club, was introduced, and made a
brief address. The show was officially
openedse by Mayor Haussling. The
mayor expressed himself as greatly
surprised with the magnifieence of
the exhibit, particularly in view of
the fact that the club had been or
ganized only eight months ago. The
success of the exhibit, he declared,
was due to the harmony existing be-
tween the cutters and their en-
ployees. and he congratulated them
on the result of their efforts.
To appreciate the wonderful array
of styles and latest ideas In clothing
which the Newark tailors have placed
on exhibition one would have to visit
thes show. One of the most novel
ideas shown is that of a complete
change in evening dress suits from
black to white, originated by New
ark firm. Sack suits with various
becoming braids, skating coats. aero
plane coats, golf coats and cutaway
coats are among the numerous styles
shown.
The cravats on exhibition show
that the styles this spring are larger
and of more brilliant color. A new
shirt with 1000 tucks is among the
large array of new haberdashery to
be seen The various booths are
handsomely decorated, and attract a
great deal of attention.
The exhibition will close tomorrow
night.

Minnie Allen, on the program as
''the little volcano of mirth," deserves
especial mention for her versatile and
unique number. She provides a We
suvius eruption of merriment "Sliv-
ers," the famous clown, adds another
novelty which is irresistibly funny.
He plays a baseball game by himself,
cleverly bringing out the humorous
side of the national pastime in pan
tomime.
Hoey and Lee, the well-known char
acter comedians have some new
laughter-spurring quips and songs
which strike fire instantly.

MEAT ORDINANCE
IS UP TO COUNCIL.
Measure Prohibiting Sunday
Sales Is Approved by Com
mittee on Weights.

Following its approval by the
weights and measures committee at
a meeting last night, the proposed
ordinance prohibiting the sale of meat
on Sunday will be referred to the
Common Council for it's first reading.
OF the twenty-odd representative
Of master butchers, journeyman
butchers and trades unions present
at the meeting. the only one to OPP
pose the measure was Alderman
Scheininger, who claimed that there
should be a provision In the bill al
lowing the Kosher butchers to do
business on Sunday as they were
closed during the daylight hours OF
Saturday. Without that clause, he
declared, the ordinance would be
hardship to the Hebrew people, but
otherwise it met with his approval
The proposed ordinance says that
no fresh meat shall be sold, exposed
for sale or delivered on Sunday. pros
viding penalties of a S. fine for the
first offense, $40 for the second and
500 for subsequent ones. 1t also en-
powers the police or any citizen to
make a complaint of violations Of
the ordinance seen by, them.
Those who spoke lin favor of the
bill were Rudolph Modest, Andrew J.
Baumann, Hugh W Reilly. Henry J.
Lohse and Alderman Fitzsimmons.
In their remarks they averred the
butchers worked sixty-eight hours
during the six days of the week. and
that 1t was a crime against humanity
to ask them to work on the seventh
day. To show that 1t would not be a
hardship to the poorer people the
advocates of the proposed ordinance
cited the results in New York and
Pennsylvania, where similar laws
are enforced.

Wild Scenes Accompany the

a strong body of police to escort them
to safety, but that today the authorities
took precautions and had large bodies of
mounted and foot policemen in attend

Even at that, wild scenes ensued. Five
thousand persons assembled in the park

At Wimbledon similar scenes were en-

was still more disorderly. Miss Bracken-

for an hour. This she succeeded in do

OTTO HESS IS THE
ONLY ORIGINAL
COMEBACK"

Chattanooga, March 9.-(Special.)-
.Gabby'' Street and RED" Massey have
supplied the biggest dose of spring joy
for Chattanooga fandom in the Look
outs first week of practice. The veteran
catcher has tickled the faithful by evil
dences that he is in superb condition and
his noted rifle whip unimpaired; while
Nassey's speed and ability to slug the
ball have made him favorite already.
Street asserts that he never felt better
in his life He runs better than he over
did, according to Kid Eberfeld, and the
underpinnng which held him down last
year is likely to help him up this season.
He is down to minimum weight, throws to
second with great ease and has all the
uther marks that indicate a successful
season. He still adheres to his deter
mination to catch 100 games for Chat
tanooga this year.
Massey looks the best piece OF rough
baseball material that has been uncov-
cred in Chattanooga since the city re-
entered the Southern league The former
University of Tennessee star has had two
years of experience and seems just ripe
for class A. The sorrel top started out as
a third sacker and poor fielding kept him
from starring in the Southeastern in 1911.
Perry Lipe looked him over last spring
at Savannah and decided that Massey's
