burlesque fans. There were many
baseball fans also in the audience
which GREETED Pat and the other
members of the company. as demon
strated by the success of the baseball
skit in the first act of the perform
ance. Pat performs the immortal
Casey at the Bat, while another
member of the company recites the
poem. Coming on the eve of the first
game of the worlds 2eries baseball
classic the speciality made big hit.
Pat White is as funny as ever. He
has a new line of talk this year,
which is a scream, and the plot of the
show gives him ample opportunity to
display his talents. There are other
members of the company who share
the limelight with Pat, notably,
Thomas O'Neil, Harvey Brooks, James
McInerney and Golf Phillips. The
bevy of feminine talent is led through
the PAGES by Marjorie Mack a singer
of no mean ability; Anna Grant and
Laura Houston.
Another feature of the show is the
three round bout between Pat and the
English champion Pat doesn't
show up much as a scientific boxer
and his footwork is about as graceful
and lively as that of an elephant.
But Pat carries the old "haymakers,
or knockout blow, in either NIT, and
he brings his spry opponent to- sud
den stop with a wonderful "one-two'
punch. The show is one of the best
seen at Miners Theatre this season.

Clever representation of
William Howard Taft Is
Given by Edward Begley

Quite right, this is not a photo of
William Howard Taft, but is a clever
imitation of that statesman by Edward
Begley, of the Excuse Me" company.
Mr.. Begley is accredited clever i'm
personator of the great and near
great men of this and the past decade.
His "sylph like" figure, only 325
pounds, allows him a limited number
of personages to test his ability. Mr..
Taft as he is at this writing would
be far from Mr.. Begleys present
weight, he himself having ackhowl-
edged only recently he had been de-
prived or relieved of about sixty
pounds of flesh.
At a gathering of professionals in
a Western city the past season each
of the individuals attending the affair
were requested to impersonate some
great parsonage of the past twenty
years. There were many clever crea-
tions of the art of makeup" and
Mr.. Begley's William Howard Taft
was spoken of as one of the best
presented that night. Being also a
clever mimic. Begley scored a double
hit by his rendering of one of Mr.
Taft's speeches. which proved most
entertaining to his fellow artists.
Aside from that, Mr.. Begley is quite
effective as the unctuous and humor-
Gus Jimmy wellington in Excuse
Me-" This is his third year as the
character and, like old wine, he grows
better with seasoning. AS the jovial
society man bent on visiting the
separation metropolis of Reno, his
rendition of the part is a distinct and
refreshing creation. He'll hand you
many laugh, rest assured of that.

"Excuse Me-" at the Newark,
Just One Hearty Laugh
After Another.
BY ADELINE cARRlcK WELLS

Excuse Me-" that refreshing con-
glomeration of Pullman car absurd
tiles, with cast that entered into
Its work with zest that savored of
newness rather than many weeks
familiarity with the farce's intrica-
cies, opened at the Newark Theatre
tor weeks engagement last night.
The average farce of today must
needs contain one light heeled lady,
who spends the wee, sma' hours rid
ing in taxis with insipid, very-much-
evening-coated old-young men, whose
dignified wives create the comedy by
going to gayquestion, giddy- question
cafes to find them. Jokes are of the
sort that make most folks hesitate
as to whether it is best to laugh or
look haughtily uncomprehending.
The charm Of Excuse Me" lies IN
its difference. Its humor is of
wholesome sort. with a punch -Aat
strikes straight at ones disabilities.
And. let us announce with pleasure,
said humor is at all times clean and
straightforward. The laughter 1t
evokes is of actual mirth, not half
apologize hysteria.
To tell Excuse Mes" plot in full
would result in your complete puzzle
ment and mine, fond reader In
one Pullman car-in which all of
the acts are staged-will be found
an Englishman of the tourist-cap,
monocle, dull-intellect type; bibu-
lous fat man on his way to Reno to
secure a divorce from his flirtatious
wife; said flirtatious wife on the

whose romance develops and ends
in an observation car wedding ere

tor, the omnipresent porter, and last,
but by no means least, a handsome
young man and a beautiful girl who
eloped, and then had to run TO catch
the train befole they could find
minister TO marry them.
The folks on the train think they
are married, of course, and their
hopeless bewilderment, followed by
their efforts to put the best face on
things, is really the wheel of this
conglomerate plot. An important
spoke in the wheel, .. by the way. is
Snoozleums, a fluff of dog belong
ing to the tearfully- giggling near
bride.
Jerry Hart is highly satisfactory
as the porter, at no time showing a
tendency to over-act. 1t is impor-
tant that the porter's work be good,
for he is in the spotlight con-
tinually. George dip made a sat
isfactory impression as the little
owner of Snoozleums, but her express
sion of youthful Stiffness was not
genuine. One kept feeling, "She. is
only pretending" Miss dip is marked
for deeper work.

The work of Harry J. Lane and

YOU failed to see Excuse MeN' last
season. rejoice that opportunity has
come your way once more.

WORLD SERIES IN FUN
OPENS AT PROCTOR'S

At Proctor's grounds, Park place.
the eligibles for the worlds series in
the vaudeville circuits got into their
uniforms last night and played the
opener of the series. Complete box
but it looked as though Charles
Evans, with a company in "A For
gotten Combination" fielded and bat
ted the fun perfectly, and, so, was
entitled to be the star of the game.
Evans is a very smooth comedian.
Miss Amy Hamlin, in the same
sketch, is also some Coincidence, ac-
cording to the experts who sat in
the press box. The act is really a
little portrayal of real life-where
hubby loses his collar-button and
spends a half hour on the floor hunt
ing for it, while his wife chatters on
only Mr.. Evans is polite, he doesn't
use the kind of language that accom-
panies such a performance.
Following the lead-off man comes
"Slivers," the famous Barnum and
Bailey batter A mighty roar comes
from the stands as the doughty
clown takes his place in the batters'
box. 'Slivers" speaks no word, and
despite the raw decisions of an
umpire, makes no kick until he
knocks out a home run and is called
out at the plate. "Slivers" protests
eloquently in pantomime with all the
action of Muggsy McGraw, and he is
ordered from the field. "Sliverss'
imitation of the different players on
a ball field is rare comedy.
Laddie Cliffe-you've all seen him
before-is the same dashing come
but the same clever way. That the

Briscoe, an unusual Coincidence,
finds soft spot in the hearts of
her audience with her pleasing char
acter acting.
ALT Grant and Ethel Hoag score a
hit in their sketch, 1.-THE Troublesome
Trunk" 1t may be nonsensical, but
it's funny from beginning to end. To
heap on the humor, John and Winnie
Hennings, 1.-THE Kill Kare Kouple,"
stand for few dozen rounds of
laughter.

accordeonist and baritone singer. re-

act is entertainment-pure and sim

a chuckling, bubbling, cooling comedy,
with music, founded on the cartoons
by George McManus, is on the bills

This is the first season that this
popular comedy has been put on the
road at popular prices, and anyone
that feels dull and out of sorts will do

through the show. And don't forget
to bring the little folks, as they will
remember Major Knot Much and Ma
poleon Newlywed long after tn show
is given the grand finale.
The company as a whole is very
capable, but it cannot be said that
Edwin Stanley as Ferdinand Newly
wed is quite up to the standard of
Leo Hayes, that brilliant and versatile
creator of the part. Mr.. Hayes was
spectator at last nights perfor-
nance and had nothing but praise for
his successor, but the writer remem-
bers Leo in the part. Nuff'ced.

pretty and most of the old songs of

superior to the original in some senses
and we leave the theatre with a smile
thinking of drink it yourself and

Harold West is an improvement
over Master Gabriel. who formerly
played the parts of Napoleon Newly
wed and Major Knott Much, and has
some voice for the tiny chap that he
is. He is also there with the dancing

Slightly Injured in
Fall from Wagon Seat

Thomas Moran, of 800 North Eight
zenith street, this city, received severe
decorations about the face and head
when he slipped from his seat on
wagon at Dodd street and Midland
avenue, East Orange, late yesterday.
Moran, who cannot yet explain the
accident, fell directly upon his head.
He was picked up by his two COM
panions, Frank McGovern, of 598
South Orange avenue, and Thomas
Mullen, of 4S0 High street, also of this
city. One of them summoned an am
bulance, but Moran was meanwhile
attended by DR.. Thomas G. Park, of
SO Brighton avenue, East orange, and
later went home in a cab.

UP.

One Of the first OF the exhibits in
the agricultural department at the In
terstate fair to be taken down and
packed for shipment was that of the
Roberts Gonzalez community, which
won first premium and the blue rib
bon.
This exhibit is to be taken to the
Chicago Land Show the latter part OF
this month and displayed by the Fish
er-Barkdull Farmlands Company. A.
T. Barkduu and L. W. Hardy will
probably go with the exhibit and help
to boost the section of country which
produced 1t.
While on account Of the limited
space which this company will occu-
py in the land show at Chicago, the
entire exhibit which was shown at the
Interstate fair cannot be taken, but
the choicest articles have been selected
and packed, ready for shipment and
will be displayed there.
1t is safe to say that this splendid
exhibit, gathered by B. NJ. Bombay of

PURITY PACT"
KEPT 18 YEARS
STRANGE vow MADE BY Hus-
BAND AND WIFE THOUGH MUCH
TEMPTED TO BREAK IT-MAN
NOW SUES FOR DIVORCE.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.


Philadelphia, Nov. LIN an inter-
view yesterday Mrs Irene D. Cum
ntngham, whose insistence upon ad-
herring to strange and somewhat
purity pact" forced her husband to
seek divorce on the grounds of cruel
and barbarious'' treatment, gave some
of her reasons for refusing to break the
vow which she and her husband took
before the marriage, eighteen years
ago.
Mrs. Cunningham declares that she
is a physically normal woman; no bet
ter nor worse than the average, but
that at the time Of her falling in love
with Mr.. Cunningham she had just left
Darlington Seminary, and was ignorant
OF the thoughts and purposes which
sweep the world along. This she at
tributes to the fact that she was the
daughter OF strict Episcopalian and
Quaker parents.
when I realized that 1 loved the
man who was to become my husband
said Mrs. Cunningham, 81 thought
continually what / could do to show the
Lord that appreciated this great love
and then the idea came to me. Now
remember that even If MIR. Cunning
ham had not agreed to my plan we
still would have been married, but he
did consent, and for years kept faith.
Then finally he wished to break the
purity pact. I refused, although at
times l had been much tempted"
81 often had a terrible struggle with
myself, but / kept my oath TO God.
Nothing on earth could make me vio-
late the pact. I have consecra ted my
self and subordinated everything to
Christ. / am not a peculiar woman,
even though my life may appear to
have been a strange one"

GENERAL MANAGER CONSIDERS
1T THE BEST, EVERYTHING

by ASSOCIATION.

When asked by representative Of
The Journal yesterday what he thought
Of the fair which closed Friday night,
after nine successful days, Secretary
ard General Manager N. j. Lillard Of
the Pensacola Interstate Fair Associa-
tion, said that he considered the fair
the best, everything considered, that
the association had ever held.
4 think that there Is no doubt that
every department was better this year
than ever before" he said want
to congratuIate and thank the heads OF
the various departments who cooper
Mfed so thoroughly with me and with
the president and board Of directors
In our efforts to make this the best
show we have ever had. I feel that
we have done this. and am sure that
the fair was better balanced, that is
that every department showed up bet
ter than 1t ever did before"
Mr.. LdlIard said that he was much
pleased with the attendance. as a whole
although there had been many obsta-
cles encountered and a number 1e
things had occurred to interfere with
the attendance.
He expressed himself as greatly
pleased because OF the fact that on
the third day of the fair, with a circus
viii probably visit the Pensacola opera
hpuse during the entire season, the
RItendance was the best during the
sntire fair, with the exception of the
lAst day. when a special program had
been prepared for the farmers and the
schools throughout che county had
given a holiday.
Mr.. Lillard, as usual, was in the
11lest of spirits yesterday and is ready
10 begin boosting the 1914 fair already.
In fact, he is already planning things
ID add to next years event in case he
ls again manager, which those who are
familiar with the work OF the associa-
ton do not doubt at all. and the pros
poets. even this far ahead, are very
bright.
Because of the experience he gains
each year. Mr.. Li1lard has made the
fair better every year he has managed
Il, and the exhibitors and concession
people appeared to leave better salts
led this year than ever before, so that
there is no doubt that the fair of 1914
will, like the others so far have done,
pc much better than the preceding
one.
