wires at the corner of Fourth avenue

day, his prank nearly cost the lives

charged, and induced the Impoff boy
to do 1t. He was sent to Jail for ten
days.
When the hoop hit the wires it blew
out the high tension fuses at the Edi-
son station. Two switchboard men
were knocked to the floor, while q
third had his hand burned. Had they
been near the switchboard they would
have been killed. it is said. The con-
densers were burned out by the short

Curtain Calls

The New York Hippodrome is
breaking all records for attendance
during the holiday period. The cur
rent attraction, America" combines
so many features of drawing power
that the vast capacity of the huge
house is being tested at every per-
Torrance.
The management recently made a
statement that so per cent. of the
attendance consists of out-of- town
visitors, who, as d matter of tradi
ton, make the Hippodrome the first
stop in their sightseeing upon going
to New York.
A striking example illustrating the
peculiar position of the Hippodrome
just came to light the other day, when
the captain of an incoming liner sent
wireless reserving big block of
seats for his passengers. 1t is prob
ably the first time that the wireless
has been employed for such a mission.

is authority for the statement that
marriages in the theatrical profession
have greatly increased since the adj
vent of moving pictures.
Since the manufacturing of pictures
has assumed such large proportions
many hundreds of actors and actresses
have, for the first time in the history
of the drama, been able to work and
live in a fixed locality for fifty-two
weeks of the year with no fear of be-
ing forced to go on the road"
The fact has made 1t possible not
only for the actor to marry, but also
to build his own little home and spend
some of his evenings there.
While Edgar Smith, the famous lib
rettist, who for years wrote all the
burlesques on which Weber & Fields
travesty on moving pictures called
1.-THE Lone Trapper,' to be interpolat-
ed in 1.-THE Doll Girl" for Richard
Garlic and Hattie Williams, his son
Russell Edgard Smith, is winning
fame by taking the film plays seri-
ously. He has been engaged by the

to act as assistant to Frank 10.

1.-THE COLLEGE GIRLS" TO
DISPORT AT MINERS

To those that have never witnessed
the entertainment as provided by
1.-THE College Girls" IL might be well
to impart the fact that this show,
while masquerading under the title
of burlesque, is, in reality, farce
comedy with plot that is visible
throughout. the entire performance.
This seasons college Girls" which
will be at Miners Empire Theatre
next week differs in every respect
from that of previous seasons 1t
deals with the adventures of a rich
Hebrew and his sons love affairs,
coupled with the coming to this coun-
try of an aunt that neither have ever
seen. By some mishap the real aunt
is delayed, and the boys two chums
inveigle the janitor of their college
to don her clothes and carry out the
deception.
The young man not knowing of this
pleads with the college widow to i'm
personate his aunt for the benefit of
deluding his father and at the same
time helping him with his love affairs
1t so happens that the young mans
sweetheart is the daughter of the
janitor and his father will not listen
to his marriage to her, so as the first
act progresses two aunts are intro
duced to the father
The miXup occasioned by this de-
ception gives opportunity for much
splendid comedy, which principally
enlists Abe Reynolds and Morrie
Franklin. Towards the close of the
first act the real aunt appears on the
scene and to prove her identity she
agrees to take the entire party to
Paris. The second act shows all
aboard the good ship "Jollytania"
bound for Paris. During the action
of Act the janitor discloses his dis
guise and matters are agreeably
settled and the Hebrews son mar
ries the janitor's daughter. Miss
Dolly Morrisey portrays the College
Widow, while Miss Cleo Lewis i'm
personates the French aunt: Miss
Leah Henry is the sweetheart, while
Walter johnson is the dutiful son:
James Hunter and Arthur Henry are
the mischievous college boys. Sew

DEFICIT BECOMES SURPLUS
Toledo, St. Louis G. Western
Railroad Has Good Year.

In its report for the year ended June o.
1915, made public yesterday, the Toledo
ST. Louis e. Western Railroad Company
showed total operating revenue Of ASx.
1s7. an increase OF s469, s37. Total net In.
come for the year was Sl,li9,sOs. a gain
of s2O7,71S. Interest charges amounted to
H,OSs,14i, leaving a surplus Of $685. CON-
pared with a deficit at the close OF THE
1912 fiscal year OF s55,s2s. The report said
in part:
The operations for the year continue u
reflect the effect of increased rates Of pay
and improved working conditions granted
to meet the demands OF organized labor,
as we'll as the increasing requirements o.
federal and state laws and municipal
boards and the necessity for proper.
tionate advances in the rates Of trans
portation to compensate these increased
costs is now being vigorously advocated
by your management.
1T is noted that the gross operating
revenue has increased 1915 per cent
whereas the operating expenses have In
creased S.79 per cent. The average rate
per passenger mile in 1912 was l.Sc. In
the year 1913, Loo. The average rate per

BANK EXCHANGES.

Bank clearings continue to display con-
siderable irregularity, the total this week
at all leading cities in the United States
as reported by "Dun's Review amount
ing 10 81, 1871 57Sol3, as against SS,076 o07, 800
the same week last year and $3.50, 3S5,SS4
the corresponding week in 1911, a falling
off of 81 and 40 per cent, respectively
compared with those periods. This some
what indifferent comparison is TO large
extent accounted for by the contraction
at New York City, that centre reporting
losses of 1870 and rs per cent, as con-
trasted with the similar weeks in 1872 and
1871, while the total of all outside cities is
only 10 per cent smaller than last year
and shows gain of OF per cent over two
years ago. Improvement appears in com
harrison with both years at Philadelphia,
81 Louis and Cleveland, the latter point
reporting the notably large gains OF AZ
and 23O per cent The pronounced decline
in bank clearings at New York, compared
with last year, is probably due to some
extent to the qLietness in the hnanclai
and speculative markets. and the same
factor most likely account for the NOM
inal losses at Boston and Chicago. With
the exception Of Boston, Cincinnati
Louisville and San Francisco all centres
report Improvement over 1911, with the in
creases especially pronounced at Pitts
burgh. Cleveland, Kansas City and New
orleans. The comparison with two years
ago would have been much more favor
able but for the fact that the week at
that time included the first two days OF
November. this being indicated by the
large increase Of 1910 per cent in the daily
average for October Average daily bank
exchanges for the year to date are given
below for three years:
