her a year later. She pleads to go
along with him, fearing to remain
there alone as the drudge of the farm
house and later on to explain their
secret marriage and birth of q little
son. Bernard insists that she stay.
An English aristocrat, Eustace Tel
ham, passing the farm a few weeks
later, stops to rest. Lydia brings
him a drink. He speaks of her youth
and beauty, telling her that her
charms are stronger than fate itself,
and that life Is before her to be made
of what she will. He then departs.
A year passes and in that time Ber-
nard has prospered enough SO that he
sends for Lydia and the baby to join
him in America. But the seed of dis
content planted by Pelham nearly a
year before takes root when Lydia
realizes that Bernard is always busy
with the management of ranch and
can devote little OF his time to her.
He Is blind to the fact that she
Graves his affection and that the mo-
notony of their daily life, the never
ending sameness of everything, Is
gradually killing her greatest love for
him.
About this time Pelham comes on
hunting trip to America, and makes
his camp near the Chetwin ranch.
Pelham renews his acquaintance with
Lydia and In her loneliness she turns
to him for comfort. He finally per-
suades her to desert her husband and
child for him; but, as they are about
to start, her faithful Indian servant,
Black Feather, and his daughter Star
light appear and endeavor to save
Lydia from her folly, but she refuses
to turn back thinking she has chosen
the right path to happiness. How
Lydia is brought to realize that the
toy she took from "Life's Shop Win
daw'' was made of pure gold, by Sam
Hodge, a faithful friend of the family.

broadway Jones" is accounted
cohan's best comedy down to date.
The story of the piece has to do with
Jackson Jones (played by Mr. Cohan).
Jones is an idler who has about
reached the end of his resources. So
desperate has he become, in fact,
that he has engaged himself to a
widow of uncertain age and a posi-
tive bank account. At this interest
ing stage he inherits more than mil
lion dollars, represented by a pat
ented chewing gum business. With
the chewing gum enterprise goes a
: At this point a trust tries to take
his business away from him, and out
of that situation and his efforts to rid
himself of the widow OF uncertain
age grow situations that are exceed-
ingly funny. OF course, the ending is
a happy one, but 1t takes four of the
best-played farcical acts that the
stage has seen in recent years to clear
the tangie into which young Jones s
folly plants him. 4f
broadway Jones" is p very funny
play. It Axcites the neArtiest laugh

that one may enjoy without the me-
cessity of looking alphabetically at

Ludwig Fulda's familiar comedy in
four acts, to be presented on Friday
evening, is outside the scheme OF the
photo play -auxetophone. This will be
presented by the great German actor,
Rudolf Christians Of the Royal Play

Apart from the fact that the Ger
man departments Of the high schools
of this city and the Oranges have been
authorized by the Board of Education
to lend their patronage in persuading
the management of these famous
players to include Newark in their
itinerary, the production at the Shu-
bert will afford the opportunity for
comparison. with the English-speak-

WHITE SLAVE PICTURES ON
VIEW AT NEWARK THEATRE

A really important motion picture
will be shown at the Newark Theatre
on Monday next, where it will be ex-
hibited afternoon and evening. 1t Is
Samuel H. London's four-reel picture,
"The Inside of the White Slave Traf-
fic," which was exhibited for the first
time at the Park Theatre, New York
city, on Monday last.
Aside from its entertaining fea-
lures and splendid art photography
this film carries with it convincing
and absorbing demonstration OF the
inner workings of this much dis
cussed form of vice. Mr.. London was
a government white slave investigator
and his work has the Endorsement
and support of all the authorities in
terested in it's determination. The
pictures show an expert knowledge
of the life and practises of the So
called traffickers and will arouse
widespread interest and discussion.
The films will be exhibited four
times daily, at 3. $3.50, 1880 and p. m.
after Monday. when the first exhibit
ton will be given at 1880 p. m.

PHoTO-PLAY GRAND OPERA
HOLDS STAGE AT SHUBERT

"Hansel and Ciretel," Humper-
dinclx's delightful fairy-opera, is one
of the gems at the Metropolitan
Opera House, of New York, and in
order to hear that opera 1t requires
the modest sum of Sc for an or
chestra chair.
An announcement comes now from
the Shubert Theatre that this opera
is to be shown as a photoplay, be-
sides two other operas. during the
week beginning Monday afternoon,
December Is.
Bizet's romantic opera Carmen"
and on Saturday evening only, Par
sifal," are the other attractions of
this coming week at the Shubert.
Furthermore, the music of these
operas will be heard in all its beauty
and Emil Holman, the baritone who
made a favorable impression at tho
Wagner music festival last Nav ap-
pearing jointly with Nine. Gadski and
the Metropolitan Opera House Or
chestra, of New York, will sing and
recite the plots as the operas are UNI
folded on the screen.
Still more interesting is the state
ment that such great singers as Calve,
Farrar Eames and Caruso, McCor-
mack, Delmores, Gourmet and others
will be heard. The voices of these
universal fayorites will be reproduced
on the auxetophone, an electrical per-
lection of the talking machine, which
reproduces the human voice far louder
than is the case with ordinary talk
ing machines.
It is an attraction indeed to hear
the voice of the great Calve as Car
men, singing her unforgettable "Ha-
banera, ;" This singer has disappeared.
probably never to be heard again;
yet her voice will resound at the Shu-

HlGH-cLASS ACTS ARE
FEATURE OF KEENEY LIST

Capacity houses were the daily rule
during the week at the Keeney Thea
ire, a remarkable showing considering
that this is recognized among theatri-
cal men as about the dullest season
of the year. But the people go
where there is q good show to be
seen, and Frank A. keeney, proprle-
tor of the house, has announced that
he intends to stick to his policy or
giving the best acts obtainable, ire
spective of the fact that they are
given at popular prices.
In pursuance Of this policy he has
selected for the bill, which runs Tor
the first three days of next week, I
number of acts which are generally
known as headliners. There Is, Tor
instance. the clever character come
dienne, Alice Hanson, who writes ana
sings her own songs and both writes
and sings them in such manner
as to make her one of the best draw
ing cards in vaudeville.
Those familiar with vaudeville's
headliners will recognize the names
of Erna and Jenny Gasch as those
of "the leading ladies of acrobatics'
Their act is q continued attenuation
of suspense and surprise.
"Spiegers Daughters Beau" pre-
scented by company OF specially Sc
lected comedians, tells story which
really happened, and tells it In such
A. manner as to lose not whit OF
the humor of 1t or miss any possible
opportunity for bringing out the char
acter element.
Lovers of music win find much to
please them in the work OF Enrico,
styled 1.-THE Caruso of the VIOLIN He
has been highly spoken of by the crit
les in every city in which he has APP
peared.
The bill at Keeney's Is changed
twice weekly, and for Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday there will be am
other good show, Drumming over with
fun. Mr.. Keeney Is a believer in
making laughs and one of hts mot
toes is that "for every laugh an ache
disappears. Although he controls
numerous theatres he is giving his
personal attention to his Newark
house and says he intends to spring
some surprises on the local theatre
going fraternity. He also says that
his policy of giving a continuous show
from / p. m. to II p. m. has proved
to be a success.

Alice" a difficult feminine role In
"Kale College," at Kruger AUDI
forum, December 10, will be por-
trayed by George w. Farlee.
Mr.. Farlee is OF slight build and his
soft voice will enable him to do JUS
tice to the part. Solomon Fitzpatrick,
Hebrew old clothes merchant, Will
be taken by r. w. Throssell. AS the
part is an exquisite bit of character
acting, Mr.. Throssell will be re-
quired to extend himself to the ut
most In order to make good. His
work at rehearsals is excellent.
Charming and demure is Mary
Elizabeth, the winsome singer and
entertainer, who Is appearing at
Proctor's Park Place Theatre this
week.
Miss Elizabeth has a winning per-
sonality and a style that Just wins
you right over. She has delightful
voice and her stories are new and
original.
Lilly Long, the girl who is known
as the international Coincidence" at
Proctor's this week, certainly de-
serves the title. Miss Long may be
classed with such well-known stars
as May Irwin, Emma Janvier, Mabel
Fenton and Marie Dressler.
Milton and Sargent Aborn have
announced that the board of direc-
tors Of the Century Opera Company
have decided to remodel the Century
Opera House at the end of the pres
ent season so as to increase the seat
ing capacity to $500 instead OF the
present limit OF 2,l00.
1t is their intention to continue this
season until May %, after which the
alterations will be started under the
direction OF Carrere & Hastings,

1.-THE BEAUTY PARADE"
is MINERS ATTRACTION

Local Color Is the title of the
two-act musical farce "The Beauty
Parade" Company will present at
Miners Empire Theatre next week.
The principal foundations of this piece
are girls and ragtime, with little
of everything else on the side.
While trifling as TO plot, IL Is
nevertheless pleasing in a way that
amuses without calling for the slight
est effort on the part of the specta-
tor. Harry Fields plays the leading
comedy role and comes forth in flying
colors. Miss Lila Brennan, the in
genue soubrette, has charm and re-
finement and dellcacy, and is de-
servedly awarded the putting over"
of several of the best musical num-
bers. The Countess Rossi is the
prirna donna, and the Misses Elsie
Meadows and Virginia zallman are
very acceptable in two really impor-
tant parts.
There Is, of course, a chorus. 1t is
comprised of twenty girls who are
called upon to display what charm
and vivacity they possess In assist
ing in tho proper presentation of
nearly score of popular song sue
cesses.
For Christmas week Dave Marion
and his own company will appear at
Miners Empire Theatre.
