from friends says Rose Tap1ey,
who, knowing that am not addicted
to strong drinks, fear that have be-
come a subject for their prayers and
exhortations because of an article APP
pearing in the papers recently telling
OF a certain punch made by me, which
Is rather famous among my intimates.
Il would like to ease their minds by
assuring them that the recipe calls
for fruit juices, cold tea, grape juice.

stronger being used in its concoction.
While l believe that each person Is a
law unto himself regarding these mat
tiers, do not indulge myself, nor do

ORPHEUM

Manager Forsberg of the permanent
company at the Orpheum which bears
his name, is quite proud Of being the
first to secure the well accepted met
ropolitan success of last season, lat
Bay"
This play, which is startling and
thrilling society melodrama, is by
George Scarborough, whose other
drama, 1.-THE Lure" scored such a
sensation for him, served as a star
ring vehicle for Guy Standing and
Crystal Herne last season and won
unqualified praise from the critics
and backed 1t up by doing a large
and thriving trade during it's run at
the Thirty-ninth Street Theatre, New
York. 1t tells a pretty story Of beauty
In distress and her rescue by an up
to-date knight.
Mr.. Dingle will, of course, be the
knight Grant in the person of a
secret service man, who, regardless
of danger, and with true sang-froid,
rescues the lady from blackmailer,
who, by taking advantage OF an
early indiscreet letter is seeking to
possess the lady's jewels or threaten
to expose and ruin her career.
1t is while she Is pleading with the
blackmailer for mercy, that he sue
cumbs to sudden death and, of course
the exigencies of the play demand
that suspicion fall on the lovely
heroine.
To clear her name and win her
heart is the purpose of her knight
Grant" The lady, of course. is the
new leading woman of the Forsberg'
company, Miss Florence Gear, while
the other members of the company
will be suitably cast In the various
characters.
Especial mention should be made Of
the fact that Manager Forsberg has
engaged for the part of the black
mailer chieftain, Mario Majeroni,
who was a member of the New
Theatre Company in New York, and
who won especial praise for his Gre
alton of the part In the original New
York production.
This is in line with Manager Fors-
berg's policy OF giving Newark the
best to be had and when for special
characters he finds 1t possible to bet
ter his cast by the addition of special
artists, he will invariably do SO, as
in this case.
The company is fast winning new
friends. The way in which Newarkers
have taken to the excellent company
at the Orpheum is proof positive that
they appreciate good thing.
Daily matinees still rule and while
the prices are low, the performances

unmolested by the police, provided
