LYRIC

Seldom, If ever, in the annals of
local vaudeville, has a vaudeville bill
with SO many important features on
it's list been offered, as that which
will appear on the stage at the
Lyric Consul and Betty, the world
famous monkeys; Nellie Brewster,
the well-known musical comedy
favorite with a special cast, and
Grace DeMar, one of the more pop
ular of New York's singing comedy
stars, top the program.
Consul and his adopted daughter,
Betty, are the most famous monkeys
in the world. Their human traits in
every way have we'll earned them the
right to be designated as Darwin's
Missing Links" They surpass, in
many respects, any other Simians
who have forsaken the jungle for a
theatrical career. Consul is a Chin
panzee. a little over four feet tall,
and his companion, a monkey of
about one-half the size. They work
together in absolute harmony and
have a deep affection for each other.
They go through an unusual routine,
which includes roller skating, bicycle
riding, tight-rope walking, eating and
a bit of pantomine that is quite ex-
traordinary.
Nellie Brewster the star of such big
musical hits as Jesse Lasky's THE
Night Birds" "The Songsters," and
others, is big favorite locally. Her
appearance in this city has always
been attended by pronounced success,
and her engagement at the Lyric,
the first part of the week, will sure
ly bring many of her former admirers
to that pretty playhouse. Miss Brew
ster will be seen in a new musical
comedy skit, with several excellent
artists in her support.
Grace DeMar, delightful little lady
of vaudeville, is one of the youngest
stars on the stage, only nineteen
years of age, still her theatrical sue
cess is a matter of several years back.
Miss DeMar, will be seen in a novelty
singing offering.

ponents of the dances of today;

advances to such a serious stage
that Lady Harriet and Nancy are
forced to flee the farm house. "A
chase is made for them but they
make good their escape.
A little while after this occurrence
the Queen. with the ladies of the
court, among them Lady Harriet and
Nancy. hunt in a forest near the
Plunkett farm. They are seen by
Plunkett and Lionel, but the ladies'
deny all knowledge of the identity
of the two men, Instead. they de-
nounce them as madmen and they
are about to be arrested when Lady
Harriet relents and sets them free.
Lionel. in distress at losing his
sweetheart. thinks of the ring left
him by his father and gives 1t to
Plunkett, who. in turn. gives 1t to the
Queen. BY this ring it is discovered
that Lionel is really the son of the
late Earl of Derby, who ended his
days In disgrace. into which he had
unjustly fallen. Lionel is restored to
his possessions, Lady Harriet diseov-
ers that she really has loved him all
the time and everything ends happily

OLYMPIC PARK

Lovers of old-time opera will have
their inning at Olympic Park next
week, when the Olympic Park Opera
Company will produce F. Won Flo
tow's beautiful three-act opera Mar
tha." This opera is one of the class
les of standard opera, and, while it
has been produced at the park in pre-
vious years, it has never been given
with the aid of as capable a singing
cast as that of the 1914 company.
The opera gives splendid opportu-
nifty to the four leading members of
the Olympic Park company to show
their worth as yocalists and in a his
trionic way. Miss Blanche Rae Ed
wards will play Lady Harriet,
masquerading as Martha, the servant
girl, and will sing that beautiful
number, 1.-THE Last Rose of Summer"
Miss Sara Edwards will play the CO.
quettish Nancy, companion to Lady
Harriet, while John G. Thomas and
John r. Phillips, the baritone and
tenor, respectively, will play Plunkett
and Lionel, the farmers who fall in
love with Lady Harriet and Nancy.
The story of the opera in brief is
as follows:
Lady Harriet (Martha), a lady of
rank in the court of Queen Anne of
England, tired of the amusements
which court life affords, forms a plan
to visit the servants fair at Rich
mond in the disguise of a servant girl
in search of employment. She is ac-
companied by Nancy, her companion,
and Sir Tristan, a cousin and admirer
of hers, and rather advanced in years,
all appropriately attired for the oc-
casion.
To the fair also repaired two young
farmers, Lionel and Plunkett Lionel
is the adopted child of Plunkett's par
ents, now both deceased. His parent
age is unknown, his father having
been found one evening at the door
of the farm house, where he had sank
down from exhaustion. Lionel, then
a small boy, was with him.
Both were taken in and provided
for. but the father soon died, leaving
nothing to his son but a ring, with
the injunction to present 1t to the
Queen If he should ever be in dis
tress.
The two foster-brothers come to the
fair for the purpose of engaging help
for their farm and are struck by the
appearance of Lady Harriet and
Nancy and offer to engage them
The Lady and Nancy, who relish this
joke exceedingly, accept the offer and
take the earnest money, unaware
that thereby they are bound In law
to serve the foster brothers for a
space of one year. When they want
to leave the fair the farmers detain
them. Tristan's interference is USE
less, and, as Lady Harriet does not
wish to reveal her name and charac-
ter, lest her reputation suffer by It.,
she is obliged to drive off with the
farmers, Nancy accompanying her.
Arriving at the farm, the foster
brothers soon find their new servants
know nothing of their duties. but as
Lionel is smitten with Lady Harriet
and Plunkett pleased with the maid.
their domestic incapacity is excused.

KEENEYS

The big successes which have been
scored by Newark favorites at
Keeney's Theatre during the last two
weeks have apparently justified the

the coming week. The stellar feature
of this bill will be thrilling playlet,

There is such an atmosphere OF

Carranza vs. Villa.

Washington, Sept. 22.-Althougf yesterdays official reports indicated that the friction between Generals Obregon and Villa was of an insig- nificant character, there was a pessi- mistic tone in the advices from Mexl- co which reached here today The local troubles in sonora have given rise to the fear among some observ- CTS that Villa may attempt to quell the disturbances there independent oi Carranza's orders.
 As yet, however, nothing of defi- nite nature has reached officials on which a judgment of the trend of flu ture events can be based. Everything seems to depend, they believe, or 3ns outcome of tn national convention October i, as it already is realized both here and in Mexico that con test will ensue between the Carranzs and Villa factions for political con trol of the assembly.
 It is doubtful whether the admin istrative questions which must bt adjusted at Vera Cruz before thu American troops can withdraw vii bet settled until early in October, b. which time it is believed Genera Carranza will have retired as frs chief in favor of Fernando Iglesia Calderon, who would be designated provisional president.

Washington, Sept. 22.-The battle ship Texas was ordered to Vera Cruz to reioin the American warships there. The order for the return of the Texas is due to developments of the Mexican situation, the precise value of which was not explained by the navy department In the mean while Secretary Garrison is working on the ways and means and time ot getting General Funston's army out of Vera Cruz. General Aguiar recently appointed governor Vera Cruz by General Carranza, is pressing Funston to name a date for the evacuation.
 Owing to conditions which have been reported to Washington by General Funston and hinted tin the recent statement by Sir Lionel Car den, the British minister to Mexico, the state department is not in a posi- tion to inform General Funston when the army may leave.
 The situation as to the nuns and monks in Vera Cruz who fear danger following the removal of the Ameri- can troops is still unsettled.
 It is intimated at the department that the emergency which called the Texas to Vera Cruz will not be of long duration, and that she will later go to Galveston receive the silver service donated by tine state of Tex
