GIVEN BY
MRS. STARR A HIT

Mrs. Jean Slice Starr, of Orange,
known here and in New York as a
dramatic reader of exceptional abil-
ity, recited 1.-THE Highwayman," by
Alfred Moves, in the Bamberger audi
torium. last week. A number of visi-
tors from the Oranges were In the
audience.
The hall was crowded, and in spite
Of the disadvantage of a chance audi
ence, naturally a restless sort, Mrs.
Starr held the close and appreciative
attention of her hearers. She was
applauded enthusiastically and re-
sponded with a clever light selection.
Mrs. Starr has an attractive stage
presence, a graceful manner, COM
bining dignity and vivacity. Her
voice is of unusual sweetness and
depth of tone, and she has 1t under
admirable control Her interpreta-
ton brought out the tragic force of
the lines, without the suggestion of
effort or overstrained emotional eff
feet She showed none of the man
nerisms which so often take dram
attic rendering just over the line be-
tween pathos and bathos.

M'NALLY BENEFIT
A GREAT SUCCESS

A crowd that filed every seat in
the spacious Keeney Theatre turned
out last night at the benefit rendered
Manager j. B. McNally and the en-
ployes OF the house by Frank A.
Keeney. And the crowd was we'll
rewarded, for the vaudeville bill of a
dozen numbers was one OF the best
ever staged in this city.
Maggie Cline, the only and original
Irish queen, was the headliner of the
bill and the fat and jolly Maggie was
never in better form. After num-
Der of songs she tried to leave the
stage. but the audience would not
allow her to do so until she had given
them that veteran Erin classic THROW
Him Down, McCluskey."
Mcintosh and his three musical
girls in a musical act scored big hit
as did George F. Hall in number OF
stories and Rotations. Press Ell
bridge, another veteran OF the Vauoe,
Vile ranks, turned loose a brand
new monologue for the occasion and
incidentally had lot of fun himself
"joshing' the audience.
Dainty Little Dorothy Koelmel, the
child entertainer of this city, divided
the honors with the headliners on
the bill and received generous APP
plause and two punches OF flowers
for her clever rendition of popular
songs. She was assisted at the
piano by Harry Pruden.
The Beau Brummel Trio, Jack All
man in a pianologue, Paul LeVan
and Dobbs, George w. Day and com
pany. the two Kemps and Alvin and
Kenny were other acts on bill that
reflected great credit on the judg-
ment of Mr.. McNally as a provider
of an evenings entertainment.

SCORES EDISON'S
CIGARETTE ATTACK

NEW YORK, May 1s.-Thomas A.
Edison's action in causing to be
posted at the Edison works in West
Orange, N. j., notices reading:
cigarettes not tolerated; they dull
the BRAIN" and the attacks made by
him end subscribed to by Henry
Ford, the automobile man, against
the use of cigarettes, has led Perci-
val S. Hill president of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company, to send a let
ter to Mr.. Ed son in defense of the
cigarette and the C garette smoker.
Islander of the cigarette by par
ties of less prominence than your
SELF" Mr.. Fl II wrote, attract no at
tention certainly from U.S. Since
your prominence and fame give your
words greater we ght than the words
of men of no Importance there Is i'm
posed upon you a corresponding re-
sponsibll ty to make no statement
rejecting on a product--and on the
millions of users of such product
without investigation and the GER
tainty that comes from investigation.
THE form of your statement Is of
a character that denies us an oppor-
tunity to demonstrate Its falSity and
to prove the harmlessnesss of our
product in court proceeding. If you
see fit to make a statement of the
harmful effect of any of our brands
in such form that being false it Is
libelous we will be delighted to in
stitute suit for damages and will
devote the proceeds to some desig-
mated charity.
THE sc entific facts are all in favor
of the cigarette, and no man can
change these facts because he per-
sonally prefers a pipe or cigar or
stogie or a chew of plug to the cigar
ette."
Mr.. Hill said that the anti-cigarette
agitation of a few years ago was such
that medical men and other scientists
undertook thorough examinations of
the cigarette which resulted in the
same set of findings: That the cigar
cite is absolutely pure, that it con-
tains less nicotine than any other
form of tobacco products; that the
combustion of the paper is harmless
in its effect on the human physiology
and that its temperate use is In no
way injurious to normal users.
Mr.. Hill gave figures showing that
Is, S12. $4,000 cigarettes were made in
the United States in 1918, against g.
600 000 900 In 1900, or an increase Of
700 per cent. in thirteen years.

Rebukes Anthony COmst0ck
for Court interference

NEW YORK, May 1s.-Because he
tried to criticise the manner in which
Assistant United States District At
torney Content handled a case In the
United States District Court last
Saturday, Anthony Comstock was
severely rebuked by Judge Hand.
Comstock persistently tried to make
interpretations in the assistant district
attorneys speech, but was cut short
by the judge, who, pounding the desk
with his gavel, insisted upon a rec
ognition of the dignity of the court.
The dispute was due to the con-
Quoting of a case against Frank
Polaosk, a chauffeur, charged with
writing an improper letter to Helen.
the fourteen-year-o daughter of
Henry Kaufman, of Westfield, N. j.,
formerly the employer of the accused.
Ptolaozk, shown by the weight of
evidence by Mr.. Content, pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to thirty
days in the Tombs At this Juncture,
Anthony Comstock tried to show the
court that Mr.. Content, in requesting
prison sentence, had not empha-
sized sufficiently what Mr.. Comstock
considered important points in the
case.
Mr.. Comstock," said the judge,
TITS case is IN the nanuS OF the uiS-
| trict attorney, and Mr.. Content has
| nrorerly presented the facts to the
court. I do not wish to hear any
more"
"Your honor will pardon me, but ]
think your honor" cried Mr.. Com
stock.
81 decline to hear from you," in
terrupted Judge Hand.
| "But. your honor" said Mr.
Comstock as the gavel pounded on
the judges desk.
| "You might as we'll understand from
me now that when I wish to hear
from you l will let you know" ended
Judge Hand.

Address Wednesday Club

Edgar Beecher Bronson, writer, ex-
plorer and hunter of big game, will
be guest of honor of the Wednesday
Club at its last meeting of the season
in the Continental Hotel Wednesday
night.

to this country one of the best col
lections of African game and trophies
ever mounted here. Recently he
crossed the South American continent
from southwestern Peru to northeast
Brazil, penetrating the widest part
of the tropical wilderness. AT a time
when the far west of the United
States was really wild he owned a
ranch on the frontier. He has been
a newspaper correspondent and mag
azine writer.
Before hearing Mr.. Bronson the
members of the club will elect officers
for the coming year and listen to the
annual reports.

NOTICE

Contributors of news items IN
tended for this page are requested
to address their communications:
Dramatic Editor, Newark Eve
ming Star"
Occasionally complaint is made
that an item of dramatic, operate
or concert news which was mailed
has not appeared In these col
umns. In most instances this,
no doubt, has been due to the
fact that the communication was
not properly addressed, was re-
ceived In some other of the many
busy departments Of the paper
and not forwarded to me in time
for publication.
Now and then, however, the
reason for the non-appearance of
contributions is that they do not
possess any news value, no mat
ter how readable and interesting
they may be in other respects.
