SALOON TO REOPEN
ON GOOD BEHAVIOR

John p. Donohue will be allowed to
reopen Pearson's inn. No. 1400 Wood
ward-ave. The place was closed by
Police Commissioner Gillespie two
weeks ego because Donohue was
operating without a license. Dono-
hue then purchased the license of Al.
bert G. Zieike, No. 1880 Canton-ave.,
and asked permission to transfer 1t
to the Woodward-ave. location. Com
missioner Gillespie appeared before
the liquor committee week ago and
spoke In favor of the transfer being
granted, arguing that Il would remove
q saloon from residence district and
place It In q business location. The
committee reported OFT the transfer
favorably, but Aid. Owen. of the First
ward, opposed the transfer on the
floor of the council and the matter
was referred back to the liquor CON-
mittee. Monday, Aid. Owen informed
Aid. Dingeman, chairman of the
liquor committee, that he had with
drawn his objection on securing a
promise from Donohue that he would
run a respectable place and obey the
Sunday closing law. The saloon will
be run under Zielke's name until NAV
1, 1914, when Donohue will petition
for q license In his own name.

THE STAGE
DETROIT OPERA HOUSE.


When you're all dressed up the
place to 60 this week II TO The Beau
ty Shop" the new musical comedy
provided for Raymond Hitchcock. and
which had Its FIRST presentation ON any
stage, Monday evening. in the De-
troit opera house. You will be i'm
mensely entertained, have your ears
pleased with pretty, tinkling music.
feast your eyes on lots OF good looking
girls, revel In an autumn gorgeous
ness OF colorful clothes, laugh your
self into near-hysterics over the Hitch
cock funnyisms and, altogether, tell
yourself that you've had q pretty good
time.
In spite Of the fact that Mr.. Hitch
cock and his company rehearsed the
new pioce almost continuously from
Saturday midnight until the curtain
went up last night-the only cessar
tion being when Sousa and dis band
had the stage OF the theater, Sunday
afternoon and evening--the perform
ace went with surprising smoOthness
and vim. There was nothing about
the performers or the performance to
tell the uninitiated anything about the
strain OF long hours OF rehearsing. or
the anxiety and stage fright" always
part Of q premiere.
THE Beauty Shops" was built for
Mr. Hitchcock by the makers Of his
last previous success, THE Red Wild
Pollock, Rennold Wolf
and Charles J. Gebest. Mr.. Pollock
and Mr. Wolf are known as two Of the
cleverest writer's In New York. Both
have several stage successes to their
credit Each, and together, as Mr.,
Hitchcock might say, have a talent
for rhyming and verifying and for
coming pat phrases and pert patter
that has enough real humor, colo
Quialisms and saucy slang to easily
win laughter and applause from the
average audience which goes to the
theater to be amused. In the case OF
THE Beauty Shop" Mr.. Pollock and
Mr.. Wolf have been especially expert
and In Mr.. Gebest as their musical
collaboration. they have an equally
clever tunewriter. The score Is a
sparkling setting for lyrics and sit
uations, and offers q string Of spr1ght-

and melodies that will be whistled all
over the country and heard In every

whole endeavor was to show that life
without gumption is death. And then
final satiric touch-she bestowed
this real woman on a German pro
lessor! You who consider Little
