The story of the play deals with

His wife, with the aid of the hus-

after meeting the others, pretends to
be wholly in love with each other.

NATION WATCHING
JERSEY ELECTION
Senator cIapp Tells Bridgeton
Audience Country's Reform
Forces Are Interested.

BRIDGETON, Oct. Ex-senator
Moses e. Clapp, of Minnesota, came
into New Jersey last night to aid the
Progressives in their fight to elect
Everett Colby governor, Senator
Clapp dwelt mainly with national is
sues.
He waxed warm over the tariff
question and got so eloquent in his
attack upon the reactionaries and the
"wrecllagers of the Republican party
that he shook off his cuffs in the
midst of his address.
IF any of you fear any Industrial
effect from the Democratic tariff bill
you can blame it on the Republican
reactionaries," he said. TT isn't the
loud mouthed free trader who is to
be feared, but it is the fellow who
says he is for protection and in his
heart wants that protection for t..
big interests only and not for the good
of the people,"
The speaker declared that had the
Republican party done its duty in
1909 there would have been no Demo-
cratic tariff bill this year. He said
that even in 1910, if they had seen the
light, they could have saved the
party.
Nation Watching Jersey.
Senator Clapp built up his speech
upon the idea that all political par
ties are the victims of a Sinister
spirit" which seeks to control the
government against the great ma
jority of the common people for its
own evil purposes.
THE nation at large is interested in
the fight in New Jersey for more rea-
sons than one" said the Minnesota
senator in explaining his mission to
this State. Years ago when insurg-
ency and progressiveism were still
unheard of a few of us were fighting
for better things In the West We of
the West were surprised when we
heard that a fight was being waged in
New Jersey for reform in the Re-
publican party.
'T do not know the Republican can
didate personally but l have never
heard of him losing his voice in his
plea for good government. OF course,
that may be his campaign cry now,
for even politicians are beginning to
see the light and everybody is now
for good government, after few men
like Colby have borne the brunt of
the fight; but American people, and
you people here in New Jersey, I
hope, will have none of these deathbed
repentences.
Republicans Break Pledges.
Men talk of campaign platforms
and of election pledges, but let me tell
you that it isn't so much the platform
that gets us good legislation in these
days of modern government. We
fought the Progressive fight down at
Washington for seven and half
years without any platform and then
the Republican party with a splen-
did lot of election planks and prom
ises came along and undid all of the
honest legislation that we had had
put on the statute books. What we
want In this country is men whose
lives and principles represent a living
platform"
Senator Clapp will spend the rest of
the week in New Jersey, and today
will make addresses at Millville and
Vineland.

STARS TWINKLE At
PROCTOR THEATRE

Proctor's presents an interesting
program this week, the acts being
carried out with a dash and vivacity
that greatly pleased the spectators at
the opening performances yesterday
afternoon and last evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pasquale Mario,
named on the vaudeville chart as the
Sothern and Marlowe of voice,
sparkle in their ten minutes of
song" Among other selections, Mr..
Mario sings "The Clown Solo" from
IT Pagliacci," in which Caruso is so
famous. The couple satisfactorily
sing "Gayest Paris" from La Ira
viata." The audience was more than
pleased with the charming voices of
the pair and several encores were in
order.
Another Joseph Hart production.
with Minnie Dupree and company,
was hung high for the telescope
gaze of the Proctor astronomers.
Carrots" Ethel Barrymore's success,
translated from the French of Jules
Renard, was the piece selected by Mr..
Hart. While the leading lady and her
co-workers were all that could be de-
sired, the sketch did not seem to
make the impression that one would
expect. It may have been that the
poor spots in the bill took away some
of the interest in the headliner, as the
act was billed. although ordinarily
the contrast should add to it's effect.
Harry Kelly and Lee Harrison, in
Small Town Chatter" got ''lot of
stuff over and managed to cash in
their nonsense in the coin of the
granddaughter. Harry Linton and
Anita Lawrence spend little time in
destroying grouches.
Bush and Shapiro have lot of fun
walloping each other between jokes.
incidentally, the audience laughs
every time a punch is landed. The
Bison City Four dispense some mirth,
some melody and little harmony.
Ernie and Ernie, in three feet of
comedy, have been here before, and
are able to hang on with the rest of
the acts. Lillian Seville, Coincidence,
also gets on board the chariot with
few songs. -Four Merkels Sisters,
gymnasts and contortionists, and the
Three Hedders, equilibrists, make no
mistakes in their turns.

scene, laid in her cobweb- hung and
dismal cave, where she went through
her magic lamentations just like the
witches do in the fairy-ta books.
The scenic effects in this act were
splendid and earned the plaudits of
the audience without stint. Miss
Deaves was helped wonderfully in
this scene by her cat Fiddle, played
by Sol Solomon. AS the cat Mr.. Solo
mon is in a class with the famous
elephant in De Wolf Hopper's pro-
duction Of Wang" or the famous
heifer in "Evangeline" in years
agone, when Henry E.. "Adonis"
Dixey made his first real hit by play
ing the hind legs Of the aforesaid
heifer. The funny antics of the cat
had the children in paroxysms of
laughter, while the grown-ups were
also holding their sides most of the
time it was on the stage
Another splendid piece of work was
that of Miss Olive Temple as Queen
Bragoman, the wicked stepmother-
say, I wonder why fairy princesses
never had any real mothers, but al
ways stepmothers. Miss Temple was
regal in appearance until the final
act, when the Witch Hex deserted
her and turned her into an ugly
looking old dame much to the delight
of the youngsters. and it might be
added that the adult portion of the
audience had gotten so nightly in.

pleased also.
But the real favorites Of the show
for both young and old were the
seven dwarfs, Blick, Flick, Click
Snick, Pick, Whiek and Quee, for
they We're real midgets, and every
one of them looked and acted the
part Of the dwarf of the fairy-taIe
days. Clever, indeed, were the ac-
tons of the seven when they discov-
cred the little lost Princess Snow
White in their home in the big forest,
and capital was their work when
they discovered how clean she was,
while they, particularly Quee. who
had not had bath in fifty years,
were all so dirty. Quee got a bath
even If it did take all the other
dwarfs to give it to him, and funny
in the extreme were the antics of the
dwarfs when Snow White awoke and
found them giving Quee the bath.
Poor Quee had to stay in the big
barrelful of water while the dwarfs
were adopting Snow White as their
princess, but that did not prevent
hurrah' when Snow White consented
to remain with them.
You will miss one of the most
pleasing-that word dainty came near
slipping in again-production that
has appeared in Newark in many a
day if you stay away from the Shu-
bert Theatre this week. You may
think you are too old to enjoy a
fairy-tale on the stage; but If you
do you are overlooking a bet, for the
two. hours you will send with the
wonderful people of your childhood

hours afterward. And as for the
children. Well, Snow White was put
on the stage for them, and it will be
a downright shame IL you do not take
yours to see it.

1t Is highly probable that that arch
critic, David Belasco. would have
nodded his head in approval had he
been in the Orpheum theatre audience
yesterday and watched the mastery
work of Edward Van Sloan in the role
of the musician in one of his-Belas-
Gospel comedies, THE Concert"
The cultural accent, the nervous, I'M
certain walk, the little displays of the
ego that usually dominates successful
persons, particularly musicians, were
characterized by Mr.. Van Sloan with
reassuring ease. After the first few
moments one settled back, not to
pick apart and criticise. but wholly TO
enjoy.
1t is not a simple role, that of the
concert player. He who plays 1t must
act. the part of man who always is
acting. Which sounds rather like an
Irish BULL" but, like the major
ity of said bulls. has more than
grain of truth in 1t. Temperamental
persons, particularly when they are
highly conscious of their own precious
ing up to their mental picture of
themselves, with the world at large
for their gallery, and the people in
their home circles the lesser lights
that serve ia enhance the brilliance
of their stardom.
1t is this role within a role that he
who plays the lead in 1.-THE Concert
must needs present. Mr.. Van Sloan
proved himself very much the artist
at yesterdays performance. In the
second act the brilliance and SYM
pathy of his piano playing was an I'M
expected treat.
The story of 1.-THE Concert" is well
known. A "temperamenta1" musician,
favorite pupil of Liszt, has built up
his success through his appeal to
femininity. The fiattery of women is
essential to his being. 1t is by means
of it that he keeps himself young and
soulful, preserving in his music the

EMPIRE ROARS At
CRACKER JACKS

As the name of the company i'm
plies, the Cracker Jacks" at Miners
Empire Theatre this week are top
notchers among burlesque perform
ers. They present a wide contrast to
the burlesque companies which have
visited this city during the past three
weeks. Unlike their recent predeces-
sors at Miners. the Cracker Jacks"
include several star players, who
make the show one continuous round
of clean enjoyment.
Miss Beatrice Harlowe, one of the
stars, is the most shapely woman
seen here in burlesque during the
present season. Her performance
proves her ability as an actress, es-
pecially her work in a travesty on
1.-The Thief"
In his clear tenor voice, Mr.. Doher-
ty sang a number of wholesome songs
and was Obliged to give a number Of
encores. A duet by himself and Miss
leila Rambo scored a big hit.
AS blackface artist Dan Niblo Is
whole show in himself. During his
dancing specially with Miss Frances
Riley he introduced a number of
original steps which startled the au-
dience. 1t seemed impossible for a
human being to twist himself into
the grotesque shapes that Niblo as
sumed during his dance. His nimble
footwork necessitated several encoreG
and when finally he was permitted TO
leave the stage much of his dark
makeup had given way to perspira-
ton.
Other members of the company, in
Guiding Johnnie Jess. Leo Kendall,
Pat Maloney, Miss Eta Hastings and
Miss Madeline Webb, contributed
generously TO the show. The chorus
is comprised of a lively gathering of
pretty girls, whose dancing is far SUI
perior to their singing, although sew
eral members are endowed with good
voices.
The second act is a burlesQue en-
titled Back to Nature" which brings
the audience back to the time Of
Adam and Eve. A few songs are in
terspersed between the displays Of
feminine beauty and male awkward
ness. The entire show is good.

State knows that one of the crucial
features of the Geran act, the feature
about which the whole controversy
turned during it's legislative enact
ment, was the provision authorizing
the selection of delegates at direct
primary. Upon this one feature Pres
ident Wilson's whole cause was
staked. There was a Republican Sen
ate, with a majority of three, that
could retain the enactment or strike
out his Presidential proposition. But
the Republican Senator's never fall
tered. They knew what the conse-
quences would be; they knew what it
would mean to have a Presidential
candidate on the ticket from New
Jersey; they knew what possible dis
aster that meant to their own parity
but, unmoved by partisan advantage,
and actuated solely by principle, they,
and they alone, gave to Governor
Wilson the opportunity to become
President of the United States. And
now after all these favors, we are
asked to do what? Not to vote for
the best interests of our State; not to
aid in New Jerseys progress and de-
yelopment, but to turn our commons
wealth over to a reactionary party,
which President Wilson himself in
this State has perpetually fought,
simply because it has as its title the
word Democratic
president Wilson has repeatedly
said it was not Democratic. He has
never trusted it to carry out his poll

the Democratic House of Assembly to
put the Geran law into effective form.
