 A number of improvements have been made at the Avondale zoo in the past few weeks that add materially not only to the sightliness of the park but ma terially to the peace and comfort of the animals.
 Perhaps the most noticeable change Is in the new quarters of the eagles. Formerly these birds were confined in a small house now occupied by the monkey, Pat" The new quarters were extremely cramped for the four mon archs of the air and it is probable that they suffered froR-lack of exercise and hot weather, large aerie was con square of quarters and adequate perches built for the birds. There they have room to exercise and freer air. Their enjoyment of the more commo- oious quarters was evident yesterday
 Attention was called recently to the practice of some persons who frequent the zoo of teasing the wild hog. This has been remedied by building a stout enclosure around his cage that prevents spectators reaching him anu he has very different animal yester- day from the ill., tempered brute of the early spring.
 There have been a number of addi- ton to the zoo recently, among the new animals being cage of rats, two squir- rels, number of rabbits and a coyote The rabbits and squirrels are in an en- closure on the side of the hill just to the west of the main buildings and north of the eagles.

In Old New York" is the feature
act of an exceptionally strong
vaudeville bill at the Lyric the
first part of this week, and is one
of the most delightful and appealing
productions in a comedy way that
that popular playhouse has presented
this season. All the picturesqueness
of the East Side, its quaint char
acters, its scenery. If 1t may be called
such. have been realistically trans
planted to the stage in TN Old New
York"
Cunningham and Marion, acrobatic
comedians, who one minute turn
triple somersaults and the next mo-
ment cause a howl of laughter with
some funny jokes. are another fea-
ture of the bill of hits. Kelly and
Williams, two local boys come in
for one of the big hits of the bill.
They have comedy of much merit
which they deliver with no little eff
fectiveness.
Morrlsey and Hackett offer twenty
minutes of genuine fun In song and
chatter, and keep things going at a
merry pace. Florence Timponi, an
exceptionally pretty girl with a we'll
suited repertoire of songs and gowns,
charms the audience with her clever
interpretations of popular and elias
steal numbers. Scott and Marke pre-
sent their comedy, "A Model Couple"
to much entertainment. Strauss and
Becker delight music lovers with
some artistic instrumental selections.
The Levain Trio conclude the bill
with remarkable feats of hand bal
ancing.

PARAMOUNT

As flatterlng testimonial to Tall
Essen Morgan, the new manager of
the Paramount Theatre OF this city,
the house was filed yesterday after
noon and last night. For the first
time singers were on the program,
and created a furore. Mae Sutton,
soprano, said to be one of the finest
singers of popular songs in America,
lived up to her reputation in every
respect, and was extremely well re-
ceived.
Gilbert Wilson. basso, Of the Cen
tury Opera Company, was the other
soloist, and with Miss Sutton served
to fill out the best program that has
yet been given at the Paramount
These artists will appear at every
performance this week, and the
management states that singers Will
be on the program from now on.
The photo-play, Where the Trail
Divides" with Robert Edeson star
ring, commands the attention from
first to last. 1t is in five parts and
shows three hundred scenes. The
picture Is full of beauty, besides
splendid acting, and as an Indian
Edeson is able to show some remark
able work.

the act which. takes the headline
honors in the splendid bill at Keeney's

ceived a large amount of applause
last night.
Next of Importance is a quick
change artist. His name is Caesar

twelve well-known composers.
A good singing act is offered by
Leona Guernem. She is a charming

MINERS

1.-The GYPSY Maids which Is ap-
pearing at Miners Empire this week,
is one of the best burlesque shows
ever seen in this city. Seldom has
burlesque company offered such good
singing and dancing. clean comedy,
good acting and so many pretty
faces. THE Gypsy Maids company
has all these essentials of an excel
lent production and more. To state in
bare fact, the company is one OF the
best that has ever been installed In
the burlesque field.
The show Is we'll staged and acted
1t includes voices of a quality that Is
unusual to the usual "burleque' COM
PAW both in solo and chorus work
Another feature Is the excellent
dancing, and still another is the alb
sence of the uncensored witty re-
marks of the average burlesque or
ganization. THE Gypsy Maids Is
an attraction that everybody can en-
joy-men, women and children 1t Is
really a good musical extravaganza.
Thomas McRae, who wrote the
book with James E. Cooper, is the
same old Smoke" a trump card for
hearty laughs. He is ut" as a
comedian. His opposites. ST jerks, as
the sheriff, and John G. Hanson, rep
resenting Squire Snitzel, are excellent
in their respective roles. A feature
of the entire production is James e.
Dixon. as the gypsy king. His acting
Is good and his singing, ditto. The
Misses Fannie st. Clair, Jenrie Ross
and Lottie Blackford are also seen
to advantage.
1t would be unfair not to mention
the good work of the chorus All can
dance and sing well. They are well
drilled and contribute much to the
general excellence of the program.
From Dolly Pass to Molly Ross they
are earnest workers and deserve the
applause they received yesterday aft
ernoon.
"The Gypsy Maids offer a two-act
burletta, entitled "Smoke Among
the Gypsies." The opening act shows
a gypsy encampment on carnival day
and affords many novel specialties,
chief among which is the closing
number in which all the performers
chorus and principals, pass Through
the aisles singing. Act No. 2. show
ing the interior of a country squire 8
house gives ample opportunities
for the members to demonstrate their
abilities to advantage.

Is marriage a failure? Why are so
many unions unsuccessful? Why are
so many couples regarded as mis-
mated?
It's because they haven't applied
the ordinary rules of business to
their married life. because they
ceased TO try to interest each other
after they were married rather than
just really beginning. It's shown in
the strihngly knowing comedy The
Marriage Game" at the Shubert this
week, with a fun dose Of remedy il

characters in every day life, are

She is a stunning widow the pale

She is idolized by the women and
lionized by the men until it is dis
covered that she really isn't what
she pretended to be, then she turns
about and gives the women a little
expert advice about holding their
own in the marriage game.
Marriage is your business. your
job she tells them. You must see

LAURELS AT NEWARK THEATRE

young lady could posi-
bly, be. And another day soon after
Paddy discovered that his heart had
turned traitor; that the love in his
heart for Mona was not a fatherly
love at all, at all.
Sternly he squelched the new emo
ton, throwing Mona with young peo-
pie as much as he could. pretending
to her that he felt older than he was.
But Mona was an independent little
thinker. and in spite of all the young
company with which she was thrown
she found herself-but why spoil the
pleasure you'll have in discovering
just what Mona found. Suffice to
say that lovable old Paddy WhaclS
didn't have to wear out his heart in
sorrow alone.
i Mr. Olcott invests his new role with
a quiet dignity which but adds appeal
to the humor that is in him. He has
four new songs, three of which are
tender little ballads of the sort he
sings so well. The other, "a Broth of
Boy" is gay little affair whose
