METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE.

If anyone doubted the success of 'sThe
Whip, the big Drury Lane melodrama
at this house, they should have seen the
crowds which packed the big playhouse
at every performance of the play during
the past week. Both the producers and
the local management were surprised at
the instantaneous success. The thrill
ing railroad wreck, the blood-stirring
horse race, the hair-raising automobile
accident coupled with the villainy of the
two principal intriguers who try to kill
the Whip together with the love story
woven around the famous race horse
combine to grip the heart of all who see
this remarkable melodrama. Those
skeptics who said melodrama was dead
should take peep in ON these scenes
and their reception and he would soon
be convinced that good old-fashioned.
realistic and modern melodrama is here
to stay and to stay long time. The
company-the original Drury Lane Lon
don company-that is appearing in
1.-The Whip" is one of the best balanced
organizations ever seen in this country.
Charles Blackwell as the william receives
the rounds of Kisses nightly, while a good
portion of the same are given Miss Leon
ora Harris, the villaness of the play. a
sure indication of their perfect portrayal
of the parts theytake. So realistic are the
efforts of the two artists that some of the
audience take for granted that the actors
are really what they appear to be. Miss
Marie Ellington comes in for good share
of the applal Sc and sympathy of the
audience and j. II. Barnes, Jerrold Rob
ertshaw, John Halliday, Dion Tither-
adge, Miss Evelyn Kerry and the other
members of the company all share in the
cordial reception given nightly.

The April Century an Art Number

Increasing numbers of Americans are

art is no longer confined to a few. The

being shocked and startled

Retreat.

Samuel /. Burke, of near Tabernacle.
was visiting his sister, Mrs. Charles Cole
during the recent blizzard.
State detective Francis c. Dalton, OF
Mount Holly, was in our neighborhood
on Monday, looking over gypsy camp

After being confined to her home here
for few weeks with the mumps, Miss
Stella F. Wells has resumed her position
as teacher in the public school at
Browns Mills.
John +. Wells is now a member of the
Board of Education. For several years
past our people wanted representative
in this district, but were never successful
until Tuesday, when Mr.. Wells was
elected.
Owing to weather conditions the past

somewhat handicapped in its trap shoot

An Old Offender.

In the Burlington county Jail there is
man who travels under the name of
E, ]. Buckley He is serving sentence
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. His favorite scheme seems to
have been to organize clubs and get
parties to buy goods on the club plan,
paying so much weekly or monthly and
then skipping away. Detective Parker
got on to the fellows methods and final
ly had him landed in our jail. Parker
had Buckley's photograph taken and he
sent this around to different places, one
of them being Scranton, Pa.
From that city he received letter
from the superintendent of police in
which that official says he recognizes
the photograph as that of William J..
Ayres, who was once arrested in Wilkes
barre and Scranton on the same charge
that is now holding him in our county.
Ayres was able to settle those cases, how
ever, and was allowed to depart He
next turned up in Rochester, where he
was arrested for the same kind of work.
He was released and turned over to the
superintendent of police of Scranton,
where he was wanted on a charge OF
forgery. His uncle was the prosecutor in
this case and when it came to trial he
refused to push it and the prosecutor Of
the pleas was compelled to drop it.
That was in April 1910. In July, 1911,
Ayres was indicted in Lackawanna
county, Pa, for forgery and also as a
| fugitive from justice. That was about the
time the fellow evidently thought it wise
to get a new field of operations and he
transferred his business Office to New
Jersey. The two indictments last men,
toned still hang over him and when
his term expires here he will be called
for and transferred to Pennsylvania.
| Ayres is married and has two children
He has very respectable relatives, but he
seems to prefer the mode of living
he follows to being aided by those who
are interested in him. The super
intendent of police of Scranton, Pa
says the man is in trouble the greater
portion of his time. The term for which
he was sentenced in this county will ex
pire next month.

Along the Shore

The Ocean county jury commissioners
last week completed their list of jury
men for the April term of court and sub
mitted it to Supreme Court Judge Voor-
hees. The list contains 300 men eligible
for grand jury service and 500 for petit
jury duty. The commission found con-
siderable difficulty in getting a list so
large in Ocean county, as the 800 names
comprise fully one quarter of the citizens
of the county eligible under the law for
jury duty. AS there are three courts a
year, and men cannot be called but once
a year, it practically means that there
must be grand jury list of 400 names
each year and petit jury list of 700.
The list is as large in this county with
10000 population as in the first-class
counties like Essex and Hudson with
nearly fifteen times the population that
Ocean has.
In the Ocean County Orphans Court,
before Judge Carmichael, on Tuesday,
testimony was heard on the caveat
against admitting to probate the will OF
the late B. f. Garrison, proprietor of the
West Point Pleasant hotel, filed by his
daughter, Mrs. Mary A. Brewer, of Spring
Lake, who alleged undue influence and
incapacity on the part of Garrison to
make will at the time his was made.
Garrison left the hotel at West Point
Pleasant and little personal property,
dividing this estate between his second
wife and daughter, and leaving only a
dollar each to his own daughter, Mrs.
Brewer, and son, Stephen Garrison, OF
Akron. Ohio. The whole day was spent
in hearing testimony which will be con-
tinued tomorrow.

The annual school meeting. on Tues
day night, was we'll attended and quite
interesting. There was a discussion rel
atlve to adding commercial course to
the high school curriculum. Evan F.
Benners spoke in favor of the course,
claiming that it would be beneficial to
some OF the graduates. John B. Leeds
opposed the movement, on the ground
that commercial positions are over
crowded. He said there is a large field
in agricultural, artisan and other home
| occupations. A motion that $1,000 be
| appropriated to establish the CONNER
cial course was defeated by vote of "a

ACADEMY OF MUsIC-PAvLOwA RETURN.
Anna Pavlowa is coming back. The
ethereal Pavlowa, assisted by her great
company and complete symphony orches-
ira, will return to the Academy or Music
for two performances on Thursday after
noon and evening, April End. The re-
turn engagement of this celebrated COM
pany Of dancers was arranged in view of
the extraordinary impression made at
the performances given in Philadelphia
earlier in the season. A number OF re-
quests were received by the manage
ment after that event for repetition,
but owing to the fact that the Russians
had departed on trans-continental tour
it was impossible to arrange for reap
pearance before spring. The tour has
been veritable triumphant march since
the beginning, Pavlowa and her asso-
ciates have been received with riotous
enthusiasm wherever they appeared. The
most notable thing about the incompar-
able Mile. Anna and her associates is
that they charm all kinds of people.
Their appeal is to everybody, for they
are the personification of the joy of liv-
ing. Those who like opera, those who
like musical comedy, who take the
drama very seriously, and those who
simply want to be entertained, all find
delight in Pavlowa performance. AS
the demand for seats promises to be even
greater than on the occasion of Pavlowa' s
former visit, mail orders will be filled
in the order of receipt. Send check to
Miss III. Harris. Prices range from 81 tc
So. The regular boX-office sale will open
at Heppe's, l119 Chestnut street, Thurs.

CHESTNUT STREET OPERA House
oRPHEUM PLAYERS
Critics all over the country have united
in pronouncing Eugene Walters, 1.-The
Easiest Way" which will be the bill for
this week at b. +. Keith's Chestnut
Street Opera House, the greatest play
ever written in America, and from end
to end of the continent, capacity audi
ences have endorsed this view. In pro-
ducing it, David Belasco achieved his
most signal triumph, and in performing
the leading role, Frances Star put the
finishing touch of art upon her stage
career. The Orpheum Players are in a
position to give it the best stock produc
ton in the United States, and as Laura
Murdoch, Blanche Yurka will have her
first opportunity to display her splendid
emotional qualities.
The Easiest Way" is not a play for
the squeamish, but it is one that no
honest woman can afford to miss, cut
ting as it does straight down to the
quiyering heart of life. When it was
first produced few years ago, there was
much heated debate about it, but now
the times have caught up with it and
there is only universal opinion that it
is frank, true, as we'll as wonderfully
gripping treatment of a phase of Metro
polltan life that cannot be ignored.
The Easiest Way is literature because
it is life. Nothing since put on the stage
approaches it for earnestness, power or
appeal.
The Orpheum Players promise to give
superb performance with all the favor
ties cast for congenial parts. The pro-
duction will exceed anything SO far at
tempted at this new home of stock.
