OLYMPIC PARK

Large crowds continue to attend the
performances of THE Wedding Day
at Olympic Park, following the sue
cessful opening Of the new opera
house at that resort on last Saturday
night. One of the largest Monday
night crowds in the history of the
Park was at the opera last night and
judging from the hearty applause
given the audience went home well
satisfied
A review of the performance was
given in yesterdays Evening Star, but
in that review one point was over
looked, as proper credit was not
given to one of the most helpful per-
formers in the entire cast.
True, this performer does not APP
pear in the public gaze behind the
footlights, but nevertheless he is
a highly necessary adjunct to the
cast of THE Wedding Day" The
dialogue of the play calls for numer-
Gus fanfares and ruffles of drums
which are always cues for something
important to take place on the stage.
1t is this drummerAboy that is the
necessary member of the cast, al
though he is not seen by the audience.
And the drummer boy is none other
than Jake Stewart, the veteran ticket
taxer on the automobile gate at the
park, whose face and figure are
known to thousands of visitors at the
park.
Jake" for so he is generally known
around the park, is drumming on the
same old drum that for four years
he carried over the battlef1elds of the
South during the Civil War when he
was a drummer boy attached to one
of the New Jersey regiments.
The audience does not see Jake"
but they hear his drum repeatedly.
for, standing by him during the per-
formance is Charlie Scribner, assist
ant stage manager of the Olympic
Park company, who, prompt book in
hand, gives Stewart his cues and
then there rolls forth 'rat-a-tat- tat"
from the old drum that was Stew
arts companion on many battle
field.

CENTRE MARKET
J PLAN OPPOSEDBY
CLINTON Killers
improvement Association Goes
e. Record as Favoring Lo-
oality Farmers Market.

Members of the Clinton Hill I'M
provement Association last night pro-
tested against the retention of
Centre Market They believe it
should be abolished and in It's place
erect farmers markets in various sec
tions of the city.
Board of Works Commissioner
Charles P. Gillen attended the meet
ing. He joined in with the members
in their views on the municipal
market question.
Attacks on the board of governors
of the association were made by Ernest
Gegerow and Thomas Walker. The
former said the members of that body
strut along as though they were czars
or grand dukes and were apparently
overjoyed at the fact that they had
sidetracked the commission govern
ment discussion for the market ques-
ton. Mr.. Walker said he thought
the members of the board were 'en-
tirely too dictatorial."
County Supervisor Edward Schick-
HAYS asked Mr.. Gillen if in case the
&c tire Market was abandoned wheth-
er he property would not revert to
tho original owners, as the land had
been taken by the city under con-
domination proceedings for market
purposes.
Commissioner Gillen hesitated for a
moment and then said that he did
not think it would
well, have been told differently"
retorted Mr.. Schickhaus. He added
that he understood that former
owners stood ready to test the mat
ter in the courts IL the market was
abandoned.
DR.. William Buermann thought
that the retail market should beaseif-
sustaining and believed that a new
location should be secured.
Thomas Walker said he thought the
whole thing hinged on the elimina-
ton of the retail market. He de-
clared that the big stores on Broad
street now close on Saturday nights
and were Indifferent as to the retail
market remaining in its present To-
cation. He said that butchers were
considering the matter of closing at
p. m. on Saturdays, which he con-
sidered another argument for doing
away with the retail market.
George M Judd said he did not think
there was enough room at the pres
ent location for the farmers market.
DR.. William D. Bleick moved that
the association go on record as OPP
posing the retention of the market
at THE present site, and his motion
was adopted. He then moved that
the association favor the. location OF
farmers markets in different sections
Of the city, which motion was Also
adopted.
Thomas Walker called attention to
the fact that persons waiting to at
tend the Playhouse. a motion picture
house, on Clinton avenue, blocked the
sidewalk. The police and fire COM
mittee was directed to take up the
matter with Chief Long.
School Commissioner Frederick l..
johnson had been asked to address
the association on the matter of the
proposed administration building to
cost half a million dollars, but he sent
word that he was opposed to the
project and that the association had
better get commissioner who
favored it to speak.

Smoke from Burning
Paper in Furnace Is
Cause of Fire Alarm

Smoke today pouring out of vari-
Qua openings at the Grand Union Tea
Company's store, Springfield and
South Orange avenues, gave passers-
by the impression that the store was
afire.
One impulsive pedestrian turned in
an alarm, which brought fire engines,
hose carts and hook and ladder trucks
to the scene. The entire neighbor-
hood, except the people in the store,
was in a ferment of excitement.
The firemen located the "confiagra-
ton in the furnace, where one of the
tenants was burning a lot of damp
paper. Aided by the wind. which
beat it down from the chimney, the
smoke appeared to be coming from
crevices in the wall.
The people in the store knew moth
ing about smoke or fire until the ar
rival of the engines.

HADN'T MADE HIS HANDICAP
Advocate Was Still Ahead Of Lieuten-

Out Of the Question.

The late Alfred Love of Philadelphia
was Americas pioneer peace advo-
cate. Mr.. Love brilliantly advocated
universal peace in days when such
views caused men to be dubbed fools
and cranks.
He had many stories wherewith, at
Philadelphia dinner parties. he drove
home his peace propaganda. Thus, at
the Art club, he once said:
II wish we'd all take as sensible
and prudent view of war as the
Nice advocate took of duelling.
"An advocate and lieutenant quar-
relied one evening at the Cafe de la
Regence In Nice, and the lieutenant
sent his seconds to the advocate the
next morning. But the advocate
shook his head and said:
"A duel? No. no! 1t wouldn't be
fair. The risks would be unequal.
For, look you, the lieutenant is a sin
gle man, whereas | have three chill

THE advocates refusal was con-

bloodthirsty wretch, straightway
got married. In three years he be-
came the father OF three children.

Mr.. Sam and his wife came in at

wrapped In paper, and two cans of
something or other. He was too busy
trying to make the bottle look like
something else--which a good many

that the snow blew like powder. BY

About twelve o'clock Mr.. Thoburn
