MVCTEDV ACT
WIJILNI HUI
AT THE CARRICK
Sioux Indian Maiden Among
the Attractions Billed
For Next Week

One of the most mysterious acts IN
vaudeville, that Of Lolo. the Sious In
dian maiden, has been booked for the
Garrick Theatre next week, compris-
ing one of the nine big acts, which go
to make up a star bill throughout and
one that is likely to prove the best
drawing card of the season so far. IL
is largely comedy, and there is plen-
ty of novelty also. Lolo will be re-
membered as having scored heavily
at the Garrick three years ago, when
she appeared to be able to answer
any question that was asked her, and
she is said to be even more prof.
cient now. For the past three years
she has been touring the West and
has been proving quite a sensation
wherever she has been, as she did
at the Garrick three years ago. She
invites persons attending the per-
formances to ask her questions that
they think she cannot answer.
After years of big success In the
legitimate, starring in many of the
big musical comedies, under the
Shuberts, Ida Brooks Hunt has gone
into vaudeville for brief period, and
with capable company of come
dians is producing THE Singing
Countess" She began her vaudeville
engagement in Baltimore this week
and made a great hit. She will be
at the Garrick next week Caesar
Rivola will be seen in his clever i'm
personating act. in which he imper-
sonates many of the music masters
of past and present times with re-
markable correctness. The Helm
children comprise a juvenile com
pany that has a classy act that is In
tensely interesting. Matilde and Ely
! RE, pretty Spanish girls, will appear
! in a delightfully."- pleasing dancing
act Copeland and Walsh, singing
comedians, are expected to duplicate
their former successes at the Gar.
rick, in which they will be remem.
bered as favorites in some very clev.
er songs. The Mori Brothers, three
Japanese comedians. are sure tC
make a big hit with their highly en-,
tertaining Oriental act. Ward and
Webber have a fine comedy dancinl
act 1t is an expensive bill, but tn,
business counted upon is expected t
warrant the financial outlay.

GAS COMPANY
ANXIOUS TO
SERVE WELL
Mr.. MCCOrkindaIe Tells Public
Service Board They May
Know All
TROLLEY SERVICE
UP FOR DISCUSSION

Just what steps are taken by a
modern public service corporation to
please its customers, avoid trouble
with utilities commissions and at the
same time retain its business were
the subjects covered by William ].
McCorkindale, manager of the VIII
mington Gas Company, at a meeting
of the Board of Public Utility Conn
missioners yesterday afternoon. Mr..
McCorkindale appeared before the
Commissioners voluntarily and ex-
planned that he had always worked in
cooperation with such boards and
was willing to explain anything about
his company's business that the com
missioners desired.
At the last meeting OF the board
there was verbal complaint regarding
the manner Of registering gas and
this was explained by the company's
manager. ]. Jackson Peirce, presi-
dent of the board, said that less COM
plants were received about the Gas
company than any other public serv-
ice corporation in the city. Follow
ing the discussion the Commissioners
expressed themselves as being
pleased with the methods used by the
Gas Company to give the people the
best service.
Mr.. McMullin asked to have read
the complaint filed by the Central
Labor Union against the Wilmington
and Philadelphia Traction Company.
protesting against the charge of a
straight five-cent trolley fare and
asking that the board order the
company to charge a maximum fare
of four cents. He suggested that Il
might be of advantage to arrange an
amicable conference between City
Council, the Board, and officers and
directors of the traction company.
All the commissioners were agreed
that such a conference might prove
fruitful, but no definite action was
taken. There was discussion also
about the length of time that should
be allowed to elapse before trolley
transfers become void The board
did not make a recommendation.
There was also discussion about
the trolley service on the Washington
street line. President Peirce said
that a woman had complained 10 him
that she had to wait 25 minutes for
a Washington street car. Mr.. Cleaver
said he had been using the trolley
line for years and had no complaint
to make, deeming a 12-minute service
throughout the day and a 9-minute
rush hour service sufficient. Mr..
Vance said he had been using the line
for 90 years and said the only thing
he saw needed was an extension OF
the line rather than an improvement
of the service.
