AT DAVIS THEATRE.
Peg Q, My Heart.

reg wy Teart.
 No such house has been seen this season at the Davis theatre, and rare ly in the history of the house, as was present there on Wednesday evening to see Peg O My Heart, presented by Oliver Morosco, with Miss Peggy O'Neil in the title role. Every seat in the house, boxes and all, was taken and a standing room crowd several deep was ranged behind the orchestra circle rail. The evening performance followed a matinee which also filled the seating capacity of the house
 The verdict was that Manager Davis gave the theatregoers the best play that they have seen here this season, and the two big houses were on the edge of constant laughter over the whimsicalities of Peg so admirably in- terpreted by Miss O'Neil, who also showed that she could sway the feel ings of her hearers into other chan nels when the lines of the play de- manded it.
 The action of the play which takes place in England tells of a little, care lessly raised Irish girl who, when she is transplanted into an aristocratic home of unknown relatives, meets with chilly reception. She is unwelcome and tolerated simply for the income they derive through her, but how she oVercomes their dislike and wins for herself a titled husband is acted by Peggy ONeIl and Grace ThOrne COul- ter, Roxanne Lansing, Olin Field, Fred L. Tiden, Galway Herbert, Frazer Coulter, Reginald Darlington and A. T. Hendon. who are her eminently ca pablo and pleasing support.
 Included in the cast also is Pegs dog Michael Miss Peggy O'Neil has tried out all sorts of aristocratic dogs for the leading part in Peg O My Heart. but they had no dramatic talent whatever and she was not able to find dog which could play the role until this little mongrel was obtained. He is the matinee idol of the year, al- though he receives no pink perfumed notes, no flowers, no stage door John- nieS.

This men'S-coats-for-women idea is one the women started themselves; we're not going into the Women'S clothing business, and we don't believe Hart Schafner & Marx are.
 But some woman, some where, put on her husbands overcoat just because it was handy; and that settled it, for her.
 Comfort; convenience. in having plenty of pockets; lux ury of fine, beautiful fabrics; and a smart, well-tailored style these things appealed to her:
 Such things travel fast; this did; lots of women took, to the idea. Now there is a big demand all over the coun- try for comfortable, roomy mems coats by women who like out door life.
 If you haven't tried on one of these men'S-coatS, we ask you to do So-you'll be de lighted with your looks in one.

ity. and he went about his duties with
supreme nerve.
Two hits he cIouted, and each was
important. His double in the second
scored Fournier, and in the tenth it
was Larry's single that paved the way
for the winning tally.
ChappeII gained this confidence
and increased his efficiency on for
eign fields, where he expected the
fans to roast him. Now he comes
home and makes brave start. He's
a lucky gent, in some ways, but re-
member he has stuck to hard task
with unflagging nerve. 1t isn't all
luck. Most of it is combination of
hard work and never-say-die spirit.
Manager Callahan is going to make
this Breton, his recruit infielder, into
a player able to hold down a regular
job. Right now Breton is weak at the
bat, but he will not be discarded until
Cal has exhausted every effort to
remedy his mechanical shortcomings.
Breton shows too many earmarks
of a smart ballplayer to be chucked
into the discard until every attempt to
improve him has failed. He has the
ability to think, and heady ballplayers
are in demand, especially on the
South Side.
One incident during the game yes
terday stamped Breton as man alert
to every opportunity, with the speed
and intelligence to seize it when the
openinp was presented. The stunt
was staged in the sixth inning.
Breton was passed and reached
second on Collins sacrifice. Then he
laid trap for Sam Agnew, the Brown
catcher. Taking long lead off sec
ond, Breton watched Agnew closely.
The backstop called for pitch out,
just as Breton expected. Quickly Ag-
new snapped the ball to second base
in an effort to catch Breton. But the
youngster wasn't there. He had fig
ured the play ahead and raced, for

Besides Art PheIan, the veteran

pinch hitters; Heating the new short
stop, struck out once batting for
Bresnahan, then played in Bridwell's
place, and Mollwitz, new first base
man, worked one inning after Vic
Safer had enough. Phelan and Mil
Ter, as pinch hitters, were no better
than the guys whose places they
took. ~

and was only given one opportunity
to catch ball at first. He did it.
fearful news, but Vic Safer famed
three times. When Vic isn't hitting
there is little chance for victory.
Manager Evers is closing the sea-
son in blaze of batting glory. Johns
mark in 1912 was 1874, but he fell
away below that this year, probably
due to worry over his managerial
troubles. Now, with the Cubs out of
the race, and their final resting place
definitely settled, he has thrown off
his cares and is going to work on
the pitchers. In his last three games
the boss has whaled ten hits.
Next season Evers will be more
used to the pilot job and should wor-
ny less. Therefore, there is reason to
believe he will be back in the list of
300 hitters, as he is a smashing bat
ter and meets the ball true and
squarely.

"THp INVADERS" +"

BY Frances Newton Symmes Allen.
Houghton Mifflin Co. Park Street,
Boston.
A little New England village, the sort
made dear and familiar to us through
Miss wilkins, is the setting Mrs. Allen
has chosen for her story. The native
characters are quaint, neighborhood types,
struggling by a penny-wise frugality to
keep a foothold on the almost hope
lessy mortgaged farm lands. The ''in-
vaders'' hold the mortgages. Irish and
Poles, with strange accents and foreign
-customs. have little by little crept from
the fringe of the town. till they own the
choicest locations and are a power in local
politics. It is a dramatic, ultra-modern
situation, with a rich blending of humor
and pathos When the college bred
daughter of one of the first families"
wishes to teach as a means of paying
off the mortgage on her mothers home,
she must apply for the position to the
Irishman who holds the mortgage. Gradu-
ally prejudice yields to admiration, adj
miration to tolerance, and the story be-
comes a romance. with the ultimate,
happy triumph of the little god who heeds
neither creed nor nationality.
The book is marvelously written
graphic in description, and interesting as
to plot and the six Best Seller" file will
