AT THE PRINCESS.

One of the greatest and most novel acts ever seen on the vaudeville stage is at the Princess for the fore part of the week, an act so startling novel, so sensation and altogether different from other vaudeville offerings that every man, woman and child ought to see it during the three days it is in the city.
 Burt Shepherd, the Australian Champion Cowboy Whip Manipula- tor, assisted by his pretty wife and an American cowboy, stages one of the most entertaining acts ever wit messed on the local stage. With an Australian stock whip, or to be more correct, dozen of them of differ ent weights and lengths, he performs some of the most astounding feats. He makes the big whips wlid through the air with sufficient veio- city to cut quart beer bottle in two cleanly, cut an apple in two, pick hair ribbon from a lady's hea, snip the ashes from cigar held in an assistants mouth, and even a coin from tle teeth In the latter act the cracking whip whirls so close to the assistants face that it grazes his hair He wraps a singing whip around the arms of his assitants without harming them, jerks & re. volver from ones hand and then las soes his adversary and holds him helpless. The act must be seen to be properly appreciated, and as it is one of the most startling ever given here, everyone will want to see it.

AT THE AUDITORluM.--
"The Prince of Pilsen.v

"The Prince os Pilsen" has contri- buted more to the gaiety of nations than any other musical comedy of American authorship. Under Mana ger Henry W. Savages directing care it has covered the theatrical high ways of the United States and Can ada several times. Still under his direction it invaded England, played twenty-four weeks at the Shaftsbury Theatre, London, and for three sea sons has been, and seill is, one of the most successful attractions touring the English provinces. It was taken to South Africa by a company organ ized to present a number of Ameri- can musical comedies there and was made the opening attraction and SCOT ed hit such as had never been made there before. The continued popu- larity and exhaustless vitality of this musical comedy is aseribed to the rare combination it presents of tune full airs, lyrics of striking beauty and imagery and story in which hilar- ious comedy is a natural corrollary to its Incidents and development When "The Prince of Pilsen" is shown here at the Auditorium to- night.

In the lot, though, you've just naturally got to reserve a finger and tie it with blue rib- bon TOT Agnes Burr for if Agnes doesn't radiate wholesoul fun--humor of the rippling, laughing clean cut kind-than no one does. Honest, now, you want to hear Agnes mono logue; also you should hear her sing "l want a Man." and three or four other songs she handed out to the Lyric patrons yesterday and if you go tueTe, get your tickets in the'after- noon-buy 'em early if you want a good seat. As for Miss Burr-go to the head of the class.
 Then, too, one must not overlook the greatest comiques on the Ameri- can stage today, the celebrated Four Nelsons Oh, Of course, there have been other comedy acrobats here ere this, but there's been none in it with this act. They have a more varied routine and do a more difficult act than any two other acts of the same kind in vaudeville. This is 'laugh and grow fat" week at the Lyric.

"AdeIaide Thurston."

Those of our theatregoers who are familiar with Adelaide Thurstons dainty and altogether delightful DOT trayal of the heroines of '"The Little Minister" Sweet Clover" Polly Primrose" Contrary Mary" and Miss Ananias,'' will be anxious to see this pouular star in her latest comedy success, "The Love Affair" Her tour is under the direction of Frances x. Hope. Frederick Paula ing, who wrote "The Love Affair."" is well known author, having written one of Miss Thurston's former hits 'The Woman's Hour"
 The fact that 'The Love Affair" is comedy of 1912, and that the scene is laid in a beautiful summer home on Long Island, New York. makes it a foregone conclusion that the dressmaker and the interior decora. tor play as prominent parts in the production as does the scene painter.
 Miss Thurston's company is said to be by far the best with which she has ever been surrounded, among whom may be mentioned w. A. Whiteacre, Oliver Artelle, May Davis, Sara Enright. Edward Delaney, Ed. win Walter, Graham Earle and Ed win Burke.
 The sale of seats opens Thursday, engagement is for Saturday, January 25th, at the Auditorium.

never fails to convulse the audience with laughter. They sing delightful ly in unison and offer pleasing number.
 Vieing for first honors on the bill be found Ball and West in their character sketch, Tn the Days of '6l.' This is a light comedy skit with some of the best character work seen for a season and some excellent singing by Messrs. Ball and West. The old Union wet" is one of the best characters the Princess patrons have seen, and he is ably assisted by the younger member of the team. It is great act, one which appeals to the audience in the strongest man. ner, and the mingled pathos and hu- nor of the piece leaves an enduring memory with the hearers.
 Joe Cook, ''the jack of all trades, '" in his travesty on a vaudeville show, is the whole show in himself He does everything that an entire troupe of yaudevillians could do and his act goes big.
 Hamil and Abate, the singer and the violinist, have a splendid musi- cal act, with just a little comedy thrown in. The delightful sing ing and violin playing are the fea. lures, however.

NEW CENTRAL THEATER.

How often have we heard the old axiom, Its Never Too Late to Mend?' Never before, however, has
 Nat thought ever been embraced by the moving picture people. Edison, however, saw the possibilities of mak- something worth while out of the axiom, and it proved so good, and so many excellent details were involv- ed, that once started the scenario man kept right on going and the re- suit is one of the most uplifting, modern and thoroughly entertaining specials that ever received the light of the operators lamp. This is the kind of picture that any manager may feel proud of It is in two reels and is a lesson that leaves it's i'm print, it's truth, on the young mind. It is better than sermon, for one sees the possibility of an animated yet silent reality on the curtain. For higIh-class feature the Edison com pany is entitled to commendation for this effort.
 Two of Kind" Is another story that will prove interesting. No, this isn't a gaming feature-nothing like that in the New CentraFs select family. Just story of twins-two preuy maidens-and we dare you to tell 'em apart. The trouble their ad- mirers have in separating them is a source of delight to the audience to watch, and is the best comedy of the cold snap. "Betty's Baby" is an other picture that will be classed as classy" and the program today is in a class by itself.

by Congressman Carter Glass of
Lynchburg. Mr.. Glass stated in open
ing that his duties in Washington and
attendance upon his son. who had un-
dergone q surgical operation only a
few hours previous to his departure
for Danville, had prevented him from
preparing his speech. and that he
would speak extemperaneously.
Value of Organization
The value to labor OF Organization
was touched upon by the speaker,
who declared that this was of far
greater beneft to the working man
than any tariff bill. The protected
interests. when they raise wages he
said, do so because OF the organized
strength back of the demands Of labor
and not with any idea or purpose Of
sharing with their employees the bene-
fits Of a protective tariff.
Discussing the immigration bill We
