There is only one fault Mr. Van
Sloan has to find with a Newark au-
dience. and that is he cannot judge
the merits of his sketch by them, for
so many are his friends and adj
mirers that 1t is impossible to deter
mine whether the applause is in
tended as a compliment to himself
and Mr.. Sorhagen, who is assisting
him, or for the excellence of the
sketch.
Another trouble here" said Mr..
Van Sloan, is to convince the people
that I have something besides COM
edy to show. The audiences at the
Orpheum have been so accustomed to
see me in a comedy role that they
naturally expect me to appear in such
character at all times.

have been the hardest tonight, for
in that time / have had to erase all
previous impressions and create a

Sloan said ii was his opinion that
the personality of the man or woman

as actors or actresses, and oftimes
the character of the play had to be

VAUDEVILLE APPEALS
TO EDWARD VAN SLOAN
Former Newark Stock Actor,
Appearing at Keeney's, to
Forsake Drama.
BY L. H. BEssELL

Finding my way behind the scenes
at the Keeney Theatre last night fol-
lowing the presentation by Edward
Van Sloan and company of the dra-
matte sketch, SCOOP" i inquired for
Mr. Van Sloan and was directed to
the stars dressing room. Gently [
knocked and very pleasant voice
bade me enter.
l walked in. prepared to meet a
much exhausted and nervous person,
but instead was greeted with a happy
smile and hearty handclasp. My as
constituent must have shown in my
face. for Mr.. Van Sloan laughed and
said: Il was nervous all day, but 1t
has worked over somewhat, and now

Mr.. Van Sloans return to the New.
ark stage was an ovation for the for
mer popular member Of the Brownell-
Stork Stock Company, which played
at the Orpheum Theatre. His three
performances in his sketch yesterday
were witnessed by crowded houses,
and il but needed the showing of the
name card TO bring forth storm of
applause. That the sketch met with
the hearty approval of both friends
and strangers in the audience was
demonstrated by the continued dp-
plause at the conclusion of the act.
The vehicle chosen by Mr.. Van Sloan
for his bow into the vaudeville ranks
is an exceptionally strong one and
one that is admirably suited to the
talents of the actor From his first
appearance on the stage until the
end he keeps the audience in his grip,
and the intensity of his acting is
felt over the footlights.
Vaudeville has gained recruit IN
Mr.. Van Sloan, for he said that he
intended to remain in this work for
a while. as the past season with the
stock company here had practically
made a wreck of him.
When l asked him how it felt TO
face a Newark audience from the
stage of a vaudeville theatre, he SAID:
Naturally l felt very much at
home. for 1 have attempted to please
Newark theatre goers for the past
year or more, and the fact that they
did seem to like me and my work
gives me added confidence and makes
me feel as If l was among old
friends.

is not one of Show me- but an atti-

charge of the entire force of drivers
and helpers at the Adams street sta
bles of Joseph Marrone, city scav-
enger. The police are still on the

lecting refuse is proceeding satisfac-
torily with the new drivers. II. Mil
ton Kennedy, Mr.. Marrone's local
manager, said last night that tine
men were discharged on account OF

TRAP LANDS
MEN IN CELL
Police Believe Men Who APP
preached Megaro Are
Swindlers.

In two men they arrested yesterday
the police of the Second Precinct be-
lieve they have the swindlers who
have been working flm-flam game
on Italian Americans in Newark for
some months.
Yesterday Patrolman Mclaughlin,
of the mendicancy squad, saw three
men talking to Gerardo Megaro, a
we'll known contractor of rs Seventh
avenue, on the Broad street side Of
Washington Park Mclaughlin be-
came suspicious and followed the
men. He trailed the four for more
than an hour when at Eighth avenue
and John street. Detective owens, of
police headquarters, and Detective
Goodwin, of the Second Precinct, ap-
peared.
When Megaro saw the detectives he
called to them:
Catch these men; they're bad
men"
AS he raised his voice his compan-
ions ran away. Detectives Goodwin
and Owens captured two of the men
after chase, but the third got away.
At the Second Precinct station house
the prisoners described then lives as
Ciago Costel, 22 years old of 249
Third avenue, Brooklyn, and Casper
Lopisto. 21 years old, of ASH Chris
tan street. Philadelphia. In Lopis-
to's pocket, the police say, they
found a handkerchief wrapped around
what was apparently a big roll of
bills. on the outside was a $40 bill,
but this covered nothing more val
liable than a roll of paper,
Megaro said the men accosted him
on the street, and asked his aid in
having some money deposited. He
became suspicious Immediately, he
said, and was endeavoring to lead the
men toward the Second Precinct,
when he recognized Detectives Good
win and Owens and called out to
them to arrest the men.

JOELS Extend
BAKE PRIVILEGES
Parkers Find 1t Necessary to
Raise Limitation Feature
on Tickets.

The general committee having in
charge the arrangements for the thir-
ty-sixth annual reunion and clam
bake of the Joel Parker Association
at Pleasure Bay, Long Branch, to-
morrow, decided last night to raise
the limitation on tickets, and now the
supply has been increased to meet
all demands.
This action was due to the rush last
night for caps and badges at the COM
mittee session in the Monahan Club
house, 400 Market street. II was an
unprecedented crowd and indicated
that change in operating plans was
imperative to satisfy all who de-
sired TO attend the bake.
The committee, to meet the situa-
ton, decided to remove the limita-
tons TO a certain degree.
To insist upon the limit originally
determined upon would cause TOO
many disappointments, was the view
of the committeeman.
Under the terms of the first plan.
last night was the first opportunity
afforded ticket holders to obtain
caps and badges with the idea in
mind that tonight all corners could
be accommodated and that part of
the work finished.
Before an hour had passed, how
ever, it was made clear that the sup
ply of caps and badges would not be
sufficient to go around, so 100 more
tickets and 100 more caps and
badges were ordered for distribution
tonight.
Joseph Murphy. manager of THE
Camp" where the bake is to be
served was telegraphed to make pro-
visions for 100 additional bakes.
BY this new arrangement II is cal
culated that there will be enough
tickets. caps, badges and bakes for
all Corners.
The Joels will assemble at the Mon
a1an Club house at o'clock tomor-
row morning and, led by City Counsel
James r. Nugent, the organizations
president: Mayor Jacob Haussling,
Sheriff Monahan, City Treasurer
Elmer A. Day and other Democratic
headlights, will march behind Voss's
band to the Broad street station of
the Central Railroad, where at 3
o'clock they will board special train
for Jersey City. The excursionists
will ferry it to Pier 10, foot of Cedar
street. New York, where they will
take the Sandy Hook boat TO Atlantic
Highlands.
From the latter place they will go
by rail to West End, thence by trolley
10 the camp.
Returning. the party will leave
Pleasure Bay at o'clock for the spe-
cial train. homeward bound. sched-
uled for 1880 o'clock from West End.
According to running time the special
will arrive in this city about $3.50
o'clock.
