ADJUSTMENTS
Broadway Jones'

A story of a failure. yet told In such
amusing fashion as to provide excellent
comedy is the crux of broadway JONES' .
which appeared at the Jefferson last
night. Throughout the entire performance
the lines bristled with humor. It was
one continuous laugh from the time
Thomas V. Emory as Broadway Jones
entered in the first act from his nights
carousal. 1t presented a comedy by Mr..
George NJ. Cohan-a broader and matured
Mr. Cohan-and not once was the Amer
lean flag used.
The story of Broadway Jones is that
of a young spendthrift who, finding him
self heavily in debt, allows himself to be
engaged to a wealthy if elderly widow
A friend interferes but Broadway Jones
is obdurate and insists on marrying the
aged lady. What saves the situation is
that an uncle of Broadway Jones dies
lea. him his entire fortune, which con-
sists principally of a chewing gum fac
tory. Jones proposes to sell the factory
to the trust but he suffers a change of
heart when told the trust intends to
close the chewing gum plant, throwing
hundreds of men out of work. The end
of the comedy shows Jones really on his
way to make something out of himself.
Throughout the four acts a pleasing
amount of human nature is exposed,
showing that Mr.. Cohan has studied his
public In the last few years. Mr.. Cohau
deserves much commendation for his ef-
forts in the theatre. Everything he has
done has been refreshing to a point Of
originality and his Broadway Jones is a
clean comedy, securing its 1aughs-hun-
dreds of them-in a legitimate manner.
Thomas V. Emory presents Broadway
Jones rather in an initiative manner. He
follows the eccentricities of Mr.. Cohan
rather too closely. little more orig
inality on the part of Mr.. Emory and his
performance would be improved, although
with the clever lines with which the au-
thor has endowed his part the character
of Broadway Jones is a delight in the
hands of anything but a mediocre per-
former. And Mr.. Emory Is quite a cap
able young actor.
Curtis Benton as Robert Wallace, the
friend of Broadway Jones. warmed his
way into the hearts of the audience BY
his easy grace of manner. 1t was an
excellent chara cterization of a young man
brisk in business and yet a joyial COM
panion. Mr.. Benton pleased greatly.
Carolyn Lee as Mrs. Gerard, the wealthy
widow, gave an excellent character por-
trayal of a callow woman who would do
anything to main appearances, and Miss
Grace Morrisey as Josie Richards was
sweet to look on as we'll as a capable
young actress. All of the other numer-
Gus parts were well portrayed and the
comedy was well mounted, showing ex-
cellent stagecraft.
Broadway Jones was the comedy hit of
the present season at the Jefferson.

THE rate for feeding prisoners in these
counties has been SOC per day during
these years. and any increase in the feed
bills was caused by an increase in pop
ulation and in the number of prisoners.
Most of the increase in the feed ac-
counts are in the smaller counties and is
caused by the increased amounts allowed
by the laws of 1907 and 1911.

PROGRESSIvES
ARE. ORGANIZED
FOR HARD FIGHT
Florida Legislators Will
Back Progressive Meas
utes, Including the Initia-
tive, Referendum and Re
ca1l-Speaker Farris Will
Lead the Fight in the
House.
BY FRANK L HuFFAkER

Tallahassee, April No fight of
the legislative session will be more
interesting than that for and against
the institution of the initiative, ref
erendum and recall in Florida, for
which many good people in all sec
tens have been clamOring for some
time, and which is opposed by others
of equally high type. Owing to the
p1 ogressiye complexion of the present
legislature, however, it is believed
that champions of this new order of
things will be victorious in their fight.
Speaker Ion L. F'arris, of Jackson
vile, will lead the fight for the initia-
tive, referendum and recall on the floor
of the house, while an alert progress
sive will attend to the situation in the
senate. Every phase of the PROPOSE
tion will be thoroughly threshed out,
however before final action is taken
Speaker F'arris will at an early date
introduce a bill providing for home
rule for the municipalities Of Florida
In other words, he wants the people
to settle their charter fights by cleo
ton, and not have them brought to
the legislature. 81 don't believe the
people of any city ever got just what
they wanted in the way of a charter" !"
said Mr.. F,ar1-is, "for some smooth law
yer or politician is always on hand at
Tallahassee to either defeat the will
of the people entirely, or else insert
one or more jokers in bills they send
to Tallahassee"
Fights will be made for radical
changes in the charters of Pensacola,
Jacksonville, and Tampa, as well as
various smaller municipalities.
