"BROWN'S IN TOWN. Is ONE
LONG STREAK OF LAUGHTER

Howard is Brown and Suzanne is his
wife.
Lefty, in ignorance of this, tells
Mr.. Preston that she is Mrs. Brown
and when Dick introduces Suzanne
to him as Mrs. Brown, too, he scents
trouble and insists that Dick leave
the home of the bigamist.
Fortunately for Dick his father
tells Lefty that she is just the kind of
girl he wanted Dick to get for his
wife and when the confession of the
marriage is made Lefty reminds Mr.
Preston Of his promise and he for
gives and blesses them.
Miss Mabel BroWnell made q very
sweet and captivating Lefty and be-
sides winning over her father in law
captured the entire audience Miss
Mabel Este1le, as Suzanne, was very
clever and added much in keeping
the audience in continual laughter
Charlotte Wade Daniels, as "Prlm-
rose" the cook, made an excellent
"colored lady" and her demonstra-
lions of miltancy were realistic
Clifford Stork, as Dick Preston,
gave the necessary vim and at times
troubled woes to the part. Edward
Van Sloan, as Arthur Howard, was
exceptionally clever and next to Cliff
ford succeeded in becoming enmeshed
in the greatest tangle of trouble. Ed
ward Soraghan, as Abel Preston,
Dicks father, gave a clever interpre-

ALL-STAR XMAS
BILL AT KEENEY'S

Keeneys Branford place theatre
ushers In Christmas week with an
all-star bill of high-class artists,
topped off by DR.. Kalthoff & Co. In q
tempermental skit appellated dope"
The skit serves to introduce several
high-class exhibitions of emotional
ism by the victims OF the morphine
and cocaine habit, In Doc Kalthoff's
support.
The Doc himself is a happy 60
lucky carefree chap and dispenses
the coke" and "feene' for his two
bits" with a quiet conscience and IN
sympathetic mind. He demonstrates
to two high brows," who are would
be Spoilers" that his end of the
game is as honorable as theirs, for
the spoilers" develop into the son
of the manufacturing chemist who
sells Doe his dope" and the
daughter of the lady who owns the
squalid tenement In which the store
is kept. The skit also tends to bring
out the manner in which the police
afford their protection"
When 1t comes right down to a
novelty affair, you can't beat the
Oxford Trio. who introduce basket
ball on bicycles. Can you imag ne it7
Some spills and some rough house,
but the gamesters take 1t all good
naturedly and 1t keeps the audience
on edge.
Another hlgh-cIass novelty is
/ the Great Tallman, or eagle Eyed
Exc" as his friends call him. What
he can't do with billiard balls isn't
worth doing. He breaks up a bunch
of balls after they've been framed
and runs the entire fifteen in the
pockets without a miss. Then just to
show how good he really is he does 1t
over again with one hand. And he
has a lot of clever tricks up his sleeve
that make you think he's got the
balls hypnotized.
Then there's Tom and Statia Moore.
Tom is the chatterbox of the team,
and Statia is all right in spite of her
name. Tom gets off lot of rapid
fire dog talk that'd make your
mother law grin, and Stat backs
him right up with the effeminate
f1nery stuff.
Watson and o'DonneI are clever
pair of live birds. One is a woman
and the other one talks so fast he
ought to be, too. For the clever man
ner In which he reeled off his "dittoes''
and the line of talk he handed out
right from the shoulder, you can't
beat him. He's a clever monologue
man. and his partner is there with
| the harness and beauty show parade,
so the team is well balanced.
The Usher Trio have a little skit
that Is novel and neat. and had a lot
of taking ways about It, The "She''
In 1t was very cute, and that lpelps a
whole lot. The "He" had a rvll nice
pompadour, nice and wavy, and the
girls liked 1t.
Harry Burgoyne was the only act
that did not measure up to standard
His i'm 'tations were very acceptable,
but were overshadowed by the high
caliber of the other artists.
For the last three days of the week
another big bill Is scheduled Rob-
bins's elephants will be the head
liners. 20

TRAFFIC in Souls is rightly called
the moving picture that makes you
think. It certainly made the large
audiences that witnessed the fret pro-
ductions of 1t In this city at the Shu-
bert Theatre yesterday not only
think, but also marvel, that such 3
sordid and generally forbidden sub
jeet could be treated In such highly
dramatic and interesting manner
without reaching a stage that would
offend the most fastidious.
The picture drama is an aftermath
of the Investigations made by the
John d. Rockefeller, jr., white slavery
commission and the subsequent probe
made by the New York county grand
jury under direction Of District At
torney Charles 8. Whitman, and the
pictures are so true to life that one
witnessing them can hardly realize
that he is looking at imaginary
scenes.
The pictures tell a connected story
and are not tumble of scenes taken
for the purpose of showing white
slavery conditions. AT times the sit

DAVE MARION IN
EMPIRE LAUGHS

Perhaps no other company on the
circuit has such host of friends In
Newark as Dave Marions, which
opened q weeks performance yester-
day at Miners Empire Theatre. At
both performances yesterday the
theatre was filled from pit to dome,
and the laughs and applause gave
evidence of thorough satisfaction on
the part OF the audience.
Dave Marion as "Snuffy," the cab
man, is using the old vehicle which
retouched in such way as to make
everything appear entirely new. Dave
Marion'e show is better than 1t ever
was. It's worth while seeing. It's a
production that has you splitting with
laughter one minute, intensely inter
ested In some pathetic move the next
md then off ON a tremendous laugh
the next.
There are songs-every kind 1.-THE
Land Of Impossible" which opens the
production, Is excellent. The plot
has to do with a nephew endeavoring
10 reach an island within a stipu-
ated time to live up to the condi-
lions of a rich uncle's will. How he
gets there provides not a few laughs.
As usual "Snuffy," with his dilapi-
dated cab and his human horse
is the feature of the show. OF course
he has any amount of new laugh
getters and his ginger" and singing
are as inspiring as ever.
William Lawrence comes in for his
share of the honors as a comedian
AS for the singing honors Inez de
Verdier takes the lead. Other good
soloists include Frank Chenault,
Mark Thompson, Max Gordon and
Edward Shoben.

SANTA SHOWERS
PROCTOR STARS

Twelve vaudeville lleadliners per-
formed on the same bill at Proctor'e
last night, giving the best vaudeville
show seen In Newark this season. 1t
was surely Christmas present to the
patrons of the Proctor house
To pick headlirfer for the program
of stars would be an injustice to
eleven other numbers. so Instead we
will present them In the way In
which they appear on the pr ogram.
After the orchestra has played

few times Richard and Edna Crofields
occupy the stage In "feats of
strength" They get strangle hold
on the audiences affections and are
not forgotten when the act Is over.
Hall and Francis then take the
front of the stage and reel off some
fun in the form Of chatter and songs.
While the latter were amusing the
audience the stage was set for
Whites Comedy Circus" a whirl-
wind OF laughs. Eleanor Fisher, a
very charming singer. takes the spot
light for twenty minutes. Her songs,
especially Isle d'Amour'' and
Mother Machree' were well received
Nellie Elting and company In THE
ouLCaSC present the UfSI SRGLCn.
Miss Elting is an emotional actress
and her first appearance reminds one
of Leslie Carter.
A gale of pent-up laughter broke
loose at this point when Monroe Hop
7kins and Lola Axtell. In a skit called
Travelling" started their funny an
tics. 1t was the funniest act OF the
evening.
Joe and Ernie Van do not stand in
the shadow Of their predecessors, but
rather select q spot of their own In
the public spotlight OF approval.
Their "Chinee Money talk makes
big hit.
The Mermaid and the Man. q min
iatufe musical comedy with ascast of
fifteen, is the longest act on the bill.
1t is delightfully."- entertaining.
For the. last third of the bill we
have George w. Barry and Maude
Wolford leading off with an original
line of humorous chatter and songs.
Mijares, undoubtedly the greatest
slack wire artist ever showing here,
was an unusual success.
Payne and Lee. dancing Billlkins

gram.

A Tribute to Christmas


The joyous days are here again.
Peace on earth. goodwill toward
men;
May every heart heed Joys call,
And love, sweet love, be with all.
Glad tidings Of Christmas, turn sad
hearts gay,
And all things selfish drive away;
Friendships ties now bind tighter
And all the world seems little
brighter.
Tokens of love go here and there,
The spirit OF God is everywhere;
Praises and thanks ascend above,
And mans whole being Is wrapped In
love.
Accept the gifts that come to thee,
Though spirit and value may not
agree;
For the gift of value is a friends.
Whose heart is with the gift he sends.
BE thankful, Q people. thankful and
true;
Be gracious and grateful. though thy
gifts be few;
You've paid the price ell through
your years,
For your joys and sorrows, your
smiles and tears.

THE FOREIGN TRADE.

The great increase in American inn
ports and exports in the last year has
Been only a part Of the vast expansion
Nt international commerce.. The ex-
Ehange of commodities has been enor-
peus throughout the world. The slim
uiation of trading has been felt in
small n obscure corners of the globe
as II has been felt in the great trading
ports. Everywhere ships and railroads
have been busy, wharfs have been
sded with freight, merchants and
manufacturers have dealt upon a Iarg-
er scale than ever before.
Yet all this has been no more than a
faint promise OF the expansion yet to
come. That shipping people count up
on greater ana greater business Is
shown by the scheduling of new steam
ships, the planning of new trade routes
and the laying of new keels. The west
ward march Of empire has been stayed
and the march southwark has begun
e The West Indies are in nearly
the state they were 100 or 200 years
ago. The ground in South America
has scarcely been scratched. Little
has been done to utilize the limitless
tracts OF grazing and farming land, the
stores of iron and copper ore In the
mountains and the lumber of the UNI
charted forests in the lowlands. That
these resources will be turned to is in
evitable. There are signs that their
exploitation will be undertaken upon
an adequate scale before very long.
! The foreign trade Of the United
states has heretofore been most of 1t
that trade which has come to us with
out the asking mi the seeking. We
viii not begin to plumb the posslbili-
tiles OF American commerce until we
have gone forth in serious quest of
! trade.

The INDIAN FIGHTERS.

There seems so be a good deal OF
justice In the request that is being.
made by old soldiers who fought in the
Indian wars on the frontier, who wish
to have their m added to the gov.
ernment's pension roll.
II is somewhat surprising to find that
these Indian lighters are not recognized
~ legitimate claimants to the same
privilege which has been accorded the
men who fought in the war with Mex
leo, and in the civil war.
The soldiers who enlisted In the
country's service at a time when the
task Of conquering the west was made
hazardous by the presence OF rebeIlious
and bloodthirsty Indians were very
surely performing a service which
ranks little lower than that OF any
other body of men who ever fought UNI
der the American Nag. Their duties
were particularly dangerous, by reason
Of the unrestrained methods adopted
by the Indians in their effort to stem
a tide which was overpowering. Moth
ing in the story OF America Is more
shocking than those annals depicting
scenes Of massacre and the silent ter
rors which moved wherever the wig
wan was giving place to the sodhouse
and shack.
That the soldiers of the Indian wars
have waited so long before making an
organized effort to have their names
nJaaad -, 49, .nn-{on roI1 iS q St1fa.
Client evidence that they were willing
to shift for themselves as long as their
strength remained to them.
North Dakota has many OF these old
Indian fighters and now that they are
growing old, and are asking the gov
eminent to aid them, their request will
appeal to those who are familiar with
their services as a just and reasonable
one.
