1t is the embodiment of Rudyard
Kipling's masterpiece, THE YAM

ingeniously woven together by the
deft hand of the gifted author and
capably presented by company that
is uniformly clever.
A play, after all, is like record
from a monograph; sometimes even
with a faulty "reproducer" the beauty
of the piece is not destroyed. But
there is no faulty reproducer with

Unbridled Fun Is Keynote
Of Plays in Local Houses
"osrl from Rector's" Keep:
Audience in One Roar at
the Newark.

Fun and laughter reign supreme at
the Newark Theatre this week. Little
time is given to the few immoral sug-
gestions that may arise, as each and
every one Of the company have
stepped into the role assigned them.

Mabel Estelle very easily adapts
herself to all parts given her. Her
enacting of the role of Louie Sedaine,
an "airy-fairy" dame from the gay
White Way" is without flaw.
Claude Payton Is very good as Rich

bachelor, going the limit, and assist

character to which ample justice
is done by Harry Roche.
The play opens in the bachelor
quarters of Richard OShaugnessy
Van Arsdale. Richard, who has been
indulging in wine, women and song"
without restraint, is tired of it all,
and decides to get married. Andy
Pandy, his supporting pillar, arrives
and pleads the cause of bachelordom.
Richard acquiesces, but comes very
near having his resolution broken by
Louie, who is sure that she loves him.
Professor Aubrey Maboon, a cousin
of DiolSy Bird is engaged to Marcia
Singleton (Ethel Milton).
The first thread to laughter is taken
up when Cousin Maboon comes to
Dicky Bird which is Richards SOU

small difference between him and his
lady love. Dicky does and gains the

The second act is in the home of
Mrs. Witherspoon Copley at Battle
Creek, Mich. Mrs. Copley is Marcia q
mother. This part is given to Miss
Elizabeth Rathburn. Relatives and
friends draw near to celebrate the
wedding of Marcia and Richard and a
climax is reached when Judge Caper-

than the gay Louie Sedaine, arrive
A general mix-up is on, when Andy
Pandy appears and "Dicky," think

to his r-mother-in-law to dismiss
poor Pandy.
Mrs. Witherspoon introduces Pandy
as her husband, General Witherspoon
Copley. Next on the scene for intro
duction is Mrs. Caperton, and poor
Dicky Bird is nearly Frustrated. Mrs.
Caperton, too, Is on the verge of a
nervous breakdown and an air of
anxiety is general.
Louie vows she will have revenge,
and after indulging in too much

laid upon Dicly Bird, she has the
assistance of nearly the entire cast to

WASHINGTON THEATRE
VAUDEVILLE AMUSES

The regular season of the Wash
ington Theatre opened yesterday, pre-
senting continuous vaudeville bill
from to IL p. M, and each of the
numbers and the photo plays came
up to the high standard which has
maintained this playhouse In the
foremost ranks among the amuse-
ment places Of the city.
Place Thompson. assisted by ca
pable company of players, presented
a playlet entitled "The Mayor and
the Spook," which was clever and
highly entertaining to the great au-
dience. Weston and Fields, singers,
proved one of the biggest hits of the
performance, and were recalled time
and again. Errico proved himself TO
be a violinist of great ability.
The vaudeville bill will be changed
each Monday and Thursday during
the present season, and the photo
plays will be changed daily.

Olympic Park Resounds With
Laughter While Alma Gets
Rounds of Applause.

alma, Where Do You Liver" that
lively musical farce adapted from
the German of Adolph Phillips by
George v. Hobart, with music by
Jean Briquet, making it a sort of a
German Americana French concoction,
and which is very familiar to New
ark theatres, is on the bill at Olym-
pic Park this week, and the produce
ton compares most favorably with
those given by the travelling COM
panies that have been seen in the
piece here previously.
Last nights performance was nm
ished production in everything which
that statement implies. The cast were
letter-perfect in their roles and the
sprightly and tuneful farce seemed
made to order to fit the personalities
of the different members of the COM
pany.
Particularly was this true of Miss
Laura Jaffray, who played the title
role, and of Gustav Blum, who came
to the front as O. real star last night
by his portrayal of the Count Boil
vario, the -blooded and jealous low
or of Alma. Miss Jaffray was at her
very best and made a pleasing and
winsome Alma, while she never was
in better voice and got deserved en-
cores on all her musical numbers, es
pecially of the Alma" song, which
furnishes the musical theme of the
show.
Arthur Burckly as Pierre LIE Peach,
the unsophisticated country lad, who
does not know what love is but who
Is loved by Alma, made a distinct
hit, both in an acting and musical
sense and was forced to respond to
half a dozen encores with the TON
Cat" song in the second act.
The comedy of the performance for
the most part fell on the shoulders
of Mr.. Conley, and he repeated the
splendid success he made in THE
Girl from Paris" last week. Mr.. Con-
ley is a comedian of high merit, and
even on the rather broad lines that
Alma, Where Do You Liver" is writ
| ten in never allowed his work to be-
come rude or vulgar. Madison Smith
was a capable assistant to Mr.. Con-
ley as CASTOR, his prospective SON
in-law, and his big, rich and full
voice was heard to advantage in sew
eral songs.
Others who added to making the
| first night the biggest success the
Olympic Park company has had this
y
George Averill, Miss Alice Gilmore,
Miss Anna White, Miss Mabel Elliott
and Miss Daisy James.
Alma, Where Do You Live" be-
ing derived from the German, has
lots of admirers among the German
residents of this vicinity and as a
result q number of theatre parties
have been arranged for this week.
Tonight the Arion Singing Society
will give q theatre party, followed by
banquet at the park restaurant.
There will be 300 of the Arion sing
ers present. Tomorrow night the
German Central Verein Will give an
alma" party, banquet also being
part of the evenings entertain
ment.
Through an inadvertance of the
park officials 1t was announced that
the Arion Society's banquet would
precede the attendance at the per-
Torrance. Instead the banquet will
take place after the performance.

LAUGHTER CLAIMS TOLL
AS PROCTOR'S REOPENS

High class vaudeville and Proctor
seem to be synonymous. Therefore,
to say you've been to Proctor's means
you've seen great show and espe-
cially does this hold good for the
opening week of the Proctor Park
place house. The bill is a winner
from start to finish and this was APP
parently foreshadowed, judging from
the crowded house that greeted its
opening.
Decidedly English is the comedy
that is presented. Not the English
that billiard players use on the ivo-
ries, but the genuine "h-less" foggy,
London English language.
1.-THE Bosun's Mate" is a Side-splft-
ting sketch with an old boatswain, O.
retired soldier and the landlady Of a
quaint old English inn as the actors.
The parts are taken by Frank Sher-
lock, Percy Waram and Lucia Carne,
and all three are laugh producers. To
hear Waram, as the ex-soldier, drawl
Don't be nawsty" Is funny, and his
followers on the bill took advantage
of the situation and handed a few i'm
itations, but nothing like the original.
The famed Harrison Fisher beauty,
Cecil Cunningham, although suffering
from slight cold. gave some excel
lent vocal numbers. Her company of
four good lockers are close seconds to
her in popularity, Their Married
Ladies' Club" is big hit.
Three Kidlets," an act of its kind
that has never been equaled at any
Newark theatre, proved the big sur
prise of the evening. Encore after en-
core called the three little ones, two
girls and boy, before the footlights.
They are singers and actors of no
mean ability.
Another act little from the path
of the others Is the Just Nonsense"
of Henry and Francis. Carl Henry
is surely the" comedian. Everything
that happens about him is turned into
a laughing matter and even to look at
him is to laugh. and he laughs with
you.
Ward brothers, as BERTHE and
Archie, Englishmen, are positively
great. The audience was in convul-
sive laughter throughout the act and
missed many of their best witticisms
Count Beaumont clever magician.
is highly entertaining. Zelda and
Hoot, in new novelty act, and the
Harringtons, comedy aerialists, are
the openers and closers of the bill, re-
spectively. Clyde Veaux, in the
Duke of Mulberry" made a fair
impression.
