KEENEY'S

The phenomenal success scored in
Keeney's Theatre last week by a
former Newark favorite in stock,
Miss Mabel Estelle, is likely to find
its counterpart next week with the
appearance of another Newark IA
vorite, Lee Sterrett
Like Miss. Estelle. Mr.. Sterrett has
appeared locally with the Corse Pay
ton Stock Company and with the
Brownell-Stork Stock Company. He
is undoubtedly one of the most COM
petent character actors who ever took
part in local stock performances.
Since he left here last fall his work
in an important part in that big
popular success, Seven Keys to
Baldpate," has won golden opinions
from press and public alike.
He will appear here in the stellar
role in a powerful dramatic piece, en-
titled Justice" The part is said to
be one which gives him exceptional
opportunity for the display of his tall
ents in character work.
Other features of the strong eight
act bill arranged for the first part of
the week are the Cansinos, who ex-
plot, in an exceptionally artistic
ldSiilJll lie latest CTdZtS III udHClnB,
Henry Booker, character singer, who
makes all his changes in full view of
the audiences, and Grace Dolan, who
sings and does a disrobing act on the
trapeze. She is described as excep-
tionally charming and clever.
Another interesting bill has been
arranged for the latter half of next
week. William Wilson and company
will present playlet which has
been characterized by metropolitan
reviewer as zone of the funniest on
the boards" Clinton and Rogers, a
pleasing little couple with an abund-
ance of personality, will appear in an
up-to-date skit which affords them an
opportunity to display their abilities
as singers, dancers and comedians.
MCGOWAN and Klein novelty mu-
sicians, will render solos and duets on
the violin, banjo and other instru-
ments, The Banvards, in a novelty
that must be seen to be appreciated,
and four other acts will round out the
| bill
The GOODNESS which pervades the
Keeney house, thanks to the artificial
aircooling plant with its tons of ice
adds much to its attractiveness for
the multitude these midsummer days

HILLSIDE PARK

Every arrangement has now been
completed for the grand annual per-
ambulator pageant to be held at Hill
side Park on Wednesday, August II.
All that is necessary to insure the
unqualified success of this great BABY
show is favorable weather. Should
fate be so unkind as to cause rain the
show will be held on Friday, the 14th,
on which date of course the same en-
tries will hold good.
AS a matter of fact, although the
management would prefer to receive
entries as soon as possible, any
mother or father who leaves it till
the last minute may bring the little
one to the park on the day of the
show and enter the baby there and
then. Already a large number of
babies have entered, and there is
every indication that this, the eighth
anniversary, will be the most sue
cessful ever held at this popular
Belleville resort.
The show will start at p. m. and
end about 6 p m.
The prizes, to the amount of $3.50,
include a five-drawer drophead Sin
ger sewing machine, valued at sos;
six teaspoons, one sugar spoon, one
butter knife, one cake basket, one
syrup jug, three clocks, three neck
chains, three rings, three chests
(twenty-six pieces each), one carving
set, five child's cups, and three pairs
cuff pins.
No child over two years will be al
lowed to compete for prettiest babies,
but children up to four may compete
for the handsomest decorated car
riage.
There will be two fiat cars to carry
decorated carriages to the park. One
leaves the Pennsylvania depot, Mar
ket street, at l p. m. and the other
leaves the D., l.. & w. at D. m.
Both will pick up carriages along the
carline to the park. There will be
extra prizes for the latest babes, one
for negro babes, and special prize,
Roosevelt cup, for the most strenuous
babe.
Preparations are also being made
at Hillside Park for the presentation
of stirring scenes of battle pa-eu on
actual life. The management could
have put these on last week, and the
delay is in accordance with the policy
of doing the thing up right or not at
all Another timely act is the inter
national dancing by the well known
Jones trio, who will demonstrate the
| various national dances in contrast
to the modern tango, hesitation, etc.
During the past week some members
of the wild west show have been per
forming at the Bergen county fair by
| special request of the authorities
| there, but the Texas Ranch SO dis
play at the park suffered little, the
program being SO long that the re-
duction by three numbers was hardly

NEWARK HIGH IN
POSTAL SAVINGS
Local Office Shows Large In
crease and Stands Twenty
fourth in List.

The Newark post office ranks
twenty fourth in the United States in
postal savings deposits. This was
made known by the Washington au-
thorities today. On June 30 there was
$2SS. 900 on deposit in Newark to the
credit of 1856 depositors. Newark
showed the remarkable gain during
the year of eighty-seven per cent: in
the amount on deposit, and of fifty
one per cent. in the number of de-
positors. The average account of the
Newark Postal Savings deposition is
growing rapidly. In 1912 IL was S4S.
In 1913 $6S, and in 1914 $85.
Newark has not the monopoly of
the Postal Savings business IN this
section, as Postal Savings banks have
also been in operation at the four
branch post offices for the past two
years, namely, in Harrison, Belle
vile, Irvington and Nutley, which
rank in business in the order given,
and whose clerks are always ready
and willing to answer inquiries and
take care of depositors, their bank
window being open during the same
hours as Newark, with the exception
of Monday nights.
The Postal Savings system, now
one of the most popular institutions
of this country. has proven a great
boon to not only large number OF
people who make use of these banks
because of their being under the di-
rect control of the government, but
also to the great business public, for
the reason that vast amounts of
money have been restored to circu-
lation which have hitherto been kept
in hiding or sent abroad While it is
true the government pays less inter-
est 1.-TWO per cent? than the
average safings bank, the depos-
itors in the Postal Savings Bank evil
IDENTIFY prefer to accept lower rate
of interest because of the fact that
these banks are operated directly by
the government, and this has had the
effect of bringing millions of dollars
out of hiding places for deposit with
the Postal Savings Banks.
One serious drawback to the sys-
tenn is the limit placed on deposits.
At present only 800 per month may
be accepted for deposit, with maxi
mum of $500 But Congress has now
under consideration a measure to re-
move this limit. and it is probable
before many weeks have elapsed that
any amount may be deposited

GOODWIN

The return engagement of "A Mil
lion Bid which the patrons of the
Goodwin Theatre have requested since
the first appearance of this Vitagraph
favorite last May, has been set by
the management for Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday of next week
This interesting drama of love and
intrigue, enacted on a screen by an
all-star cast, proved such a favorite
with picture fans that the former pro-
duction was too short to accommodate
all the devotees of photoplays
The life and fortunes of the young
heroine, who has been sold to a mil
uonaire husband to satisfy her moth
er's greed for love and display, are
presented with a realism that keeps
every eye fastened on the screen
from the beginning to the end of the
drama.
When the tragedy on board the mil
lionaire's yacht on which he has en-
barked with his bride, her mother and
a number of guests on this queer
honeymoon. leaves the young girl free
to marry the man of her choice, the
audience breathes a sigh of relief. The
years of respite render all the more
absorbing the return of the spectre
when the young wife and mother is
making the most of her days of hap
piness. The satisfactory conclusion
is entirely logical and forms an eff
fective climax.
The screen stars who portray the
various characters include Anita
Stewart, Julia Swayne Gordon,
Charles Kent, Harry Morey, e. K.
Lincoln. GLADDEN. James. George Ste
vens, Donald Hall and Kate Price.
Jack London's famous story, John
Barleycorn,' which has just been
adapted for motion-picture use, will
be the feature Thursday. Friday and
Saturday! Tracing as it does the ever
present struggle between men and
drink, the picture presents a psyche
logical study of absorbing interest.
The magazine story has lost none
OF its literary charm in its adapta-
ton for the screen, and has the added
advantage of realistic sea scenery. At
private exhibition of the film given
by the management last week it was
pronounced by many of the clergy of
Newark to possess the strongest
moral appeal of any photoplay yet
presented.
Beside the feature films there will
be a comedy, a scientific film, a trav-
elogue and the Pathe News.

FORSBERG PLAYERS GETTING READY
FOR ORPHEUM OPENING AUG. "a

The activity around the Orpheum
Theatre the past week, preparatory to
the opening Of the house on august
"a by the Edwin Forsberg Players, is
an indication that Newark will soon
have another high class diversion
from the war and other thrilling news
of the day. The house Is being put
in spick and span order. and the for
mer patrons of the theatre will find
in it the same welcome atmosphere
that they have always enjoyed.
Mr. Forsberg says he is not yet
ready to announce the list of players
that will compose his company, but
he sends the assurance that no
money is being spared in getting the
very best talent obtainable. The
high class list of plays announced
and the fact that productions that
will be almost the duplicates of those
seen on Broadway, make 1t necessary

The announcement that Proctor S
Park Place Theatre is to reopen its
doors for the regular season on Mon
day, August 81, will arouse more
than usual amount of interest, mas
much as that beautiful playhouse is
from that time on to be devoted to an
entirely new line of endeavor-that
of the motion picture entertainment
The first production that the Park
Place will offer, the one that will
initiate the new policy there, is the
worlds notion picture masterpiece,
Gabriel D'Annunzio's magnificent
photo drama, "Cabiria," which for
months has been crowding the Kniek-
erbocker Theatre, New York.
In "Cabiria," from the pen of the
great Italian poet, Gabriel DAN
nunzio, and produced by the ITALIA
Company. of Italy. the makers of the
worlds first great motion picture,
"The Fall of Troy" the last word in
picture production and tremendous
scenes has been reached. 1t is the
ne plus ultra in picture perfection
what producers have dreamed of for
years and which is now in reality ac-
complished "Cabiria" is an epoch
making production. Its scenes are
laid and taken in Sicily, Switzerland,
Spain and Italy.
The story is of the third century
B. c., depicting the war between
Rome and Carthage, which resulted
in the destruction of the African city.
The title is taken from the name Of
the heroine. daughter of a Roman
patrician living in Sicily. While she
is still child her home is destroyed
by terrible eruption of Mount Aetna
and she is captured by Phonecian
pirates and sold as slave to
Carthage, together with her nurse. A
Roman spy saves her from being sac
rificed to Moloch, god of fire and evil
Thereafter her adventures are con-
cerned with the war between the two
great republics, and the story is built
around her career The production
is in three acts, of four reels each
the entire performance lasting about
three hours.
"Cabiria" is even more than the
last word in Photographic art. 1t is
staged as no other spectacle has ever
been staged Two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars was actually spent
in its making. All Italy was behind
