NEW ACT GOES WELL
 ON KEENEY'S BILL

Substituting for The Cowboys Lesson. I" which was presented as the headliner during the first part of the week. .srhe Captain and The Cop" Brobst Brothers big act is receiving warm welcome from the patrons of Keeney's theater. The pair made splendid showing yesterday and made a strong bid for the distinction of be- ing the big applause getters. They are good comedians and singers and dancers of the first order as well and their work is of high merit. The audience last evening was highly pleased with the act and was liberal with it's. applause.
 New episodes in "The Perils of Pauline to be depicted by the Keeneyscope tonight as the special feature of the motion picture program should prove a big drawing card. This wonderful story told in films is regarded as the biggest success ever achieved in the moving picture in- dustry and in every city where the photo play is shown, capacity houses are the rule. The story has created considerable interest in this city and 1t is probable that there will be large audience on hand to see the latest chapters unfolded.
 Babe Anderson, the dainty little v:olinist. is a prominent figure among the entertainers this week. Babe has a fascinating stage presence which coupled with her clever playing of the violin make her extremely popular with the audience.
 Will Carpenter, the human top, en- tertains with some whirlwind spin ming besides giving pleasing exhib- iticn of fancy roller skating. The Regent Trio appears in a high class singing act. They are real har- monizers and their voices are heard to advantage in all numbers. The comedy in their turn is also of a high order.
 Kelly and Judge give a sensational acrobatic speciality. introducing sew eral feats, the like of which have never before been attempted in this city.
 Other first class motion pictures, released this morning in New York, will be shown this evening.

THEATRICAL NOTES.

History has chronicled the careers of the girls of the original Flora dora' sextette, but not a word about the boys. Here is something about one of them. He is Carl Stall who next season is going to sing and act the part of Racz, the Gypsy musician in Henry w. Savage's production of the operetta "Sari" MT. Stall is a genuine original "Floradora" sextette boy. That was his first engagement on the stage. Previously he had studied voice in Milan, under Guilio Moretti for a year and then under Franz Emerich for three years. Af- ter his engagement with "Floradora" he returned to Italy and sang in grand opera in Barese. MT. Stall is a native of Cincinnati and was edu- cated at Canasius college in Buff falo. His father was a wealthy gro- cer MT. Stall says that of the five other boys with him in the first pro- duction of "Floradora' only one other is now on the stage. The remaining four have been very successful in commercial pursuits.
 Miss Maude Hanaford, who is to play Ruth Ambrose in Holman Days comedy, Along Came Ruth" that af- ter it's successful run at the Gaiety theater in New York last season is to be sent on the road this year by Henry w. Savage, its producer, de- clares she is the only actress in cap- tivity who went on the stage at the solicitation of manager and not at her own initiative. In Los An geles, her home she attended dra- matic school because it had the best gymnasium in the city. She was a1- ter the gymnastic training but she was obliged to enroll in the school as a dramatic pupil and take the dra- matic course. She was rehearsed in a play that had a public presentation. Oliver Morosco saw the play ana made her an offer to join his stock company in Los Angeles. Until that moment she had no intention of be- coming an actress. Now she is glaG she is one.
 At the theatrical offices of Henry W. Savage, count was made the first week in June of the actual number of persons who called to apply for en- agreements for the coming season. From nine o'clock in the morning un- til five in the afternoon an attendant stationed at the entrance to the re-
 
 partment kept a careful record of callers by punching register for every person who came in. From Monday morning until Saturday af- ternoon the exact number was three thousand one hundred and five. The greatest number on any day was five hundred and eighty-two, the smallest four hundred and fifty-three.

Too long has the overskirt been of the straight up-and-down, even- length, all-round effect. Fashion, teasily wearied and ever restless, has decreed that it's shape Shall be changed. And this edict has gone forth just as everybody, having col lected a wardrobe, had settled back to enjoy the summer and forget, tenn porarily, that couturiers exist.
 Nevertheless, it is fortunate for these would-be idlers that fashion abruptly became dissatisfied with the plain, long overskirt-f1tted smooth ly about the hips or pleated into waistband-for it was everywhere. Consequently something which defi- nitely varied from it was hailed with delight the other day when it en- tered America in company with number of other inportations for early autumn.
 Winters Frocks.
 The creation is all in sulphur-cel- ored charmeuse, and its skirt is laid in the fine pleats which is likely to be the distinguishing feature of next winters modes. The draping of the overskirt can best be described as an afterthought. Originally planned to fall loosely from the waistband to which it's top is gathered, it is most unexpectedly caught high above the knees in front and tucked under the waistband. As a result the tiresone straight line is destroyed, the lower edge is uneven and the back cas- cades irregularly almost to the ankles, while the front is only half it's length Verify, a difference with 8 vengeance! ' The bodice of this sulphur-colored frock is worth attention because it is so absolutely unlike any which have preceded it within the recol- lection of modern fashion experts. Its fulness at center of front is close ly gathered under a two-inch stand ing collar crossing the collar bones and the shoulder blades and mak- ing not the slightest pretence of ap- preaching the throat or covering it.
 Bodice Effect Like. Bolero.
 Several inches above the normal waist line the bodice is again gath. cred this time under narrow frill in sulphur-colored pleated net com ing at the top of a high girdle in the cl1armeuse. From the back the effect of the bodice is not unlike a bolero, supposing that such a gar ment were ever gathered at top and bottom.
 Its sleeves, too, are peculiar. They are cut in one with the bodice, yet they outline the shoulders, fit trim ly under the arms and cling closely to them as far as the elbows, where they end under net frills of the same length as those on the. bodice.
 Mousquetaire Sleeve of the Hour
 Now and again these straight lit- tie sleeves make their appearance on a very simple frock. Most unex- pected they are and certainly not the arm covering of the hour. That sleeve, broadly speaking, is the nous quetaire-sometimes ripping all the way from the shoulder: again fit- ting almost smoothly, but always cov- ering the wrist.
 Distinctly novel is an overskirt which points in front. Straight as plummet from waist to toe it goes, and it will be hailed with delight by the plump woman to whom na- ture has been niggardly in the mat ter of inches. For nothing so great ly adds to the appearance of heights as a skirt which has length in front.

1t Is passing strange that less than
four weeks before the convenine of

Iabout dozen bills are in the hands

prime object of the creation of this
board of two experts is the introduc-
ton OF Legislation prior to the com
meneement TO the legislature in or
der that work may be put in proper
shape before the session commences
and thus affect considerable de-
crease IN length of the session. The
reNisers, two of the best LAWYERS in
Vermont, Collins NJ. Graves of Ben
nIngton and Thomas G. Cheney of
MorrsFllle, are on hand ready to
perform their duties, at tho salary
provided, $50 each per dav. 1t he
hooves members of the forthcoming
general assembly, who have measures
IN contemplation, to prepare them now,
so that the work of these revisers NAV
be effective, accomplishing the object
for which they were created.

FORWARD,
SAPPING FOES LINES
Gains Are Made at Many Points, as
Activity Spreads Along 200
Mile Front

n TOWN IN FRANCE. Dee u. -
At dozen points along the front the
Germans have already shown discom-
fort at the increasing pressure of the
allies. One might get the impression
that the allies were advancing inch bv
inch. | can state that they are doing
better, but whatever the gain, and it
is much, it acts like q tonic on the al
lied troops and sows dismav among the
Kaiser $ forces.
The program of sapping right up to
the enemy's trenches and then blow
ing them skyhigh continues. If it is
dangerous work for the allies sappcrs.
1T IS disastrous for the Germans, who
have occasionally retaliated
For more than 200 miles the allies are
carrying on this kind of subteranean
and invisible warfare, but when the
earth rumbles and the rumble is fol
lowed by violent upheaval, we know
that the allies have gained a point vital
to their own front and irrctrievable to
the invodcrs
A number Of these positions in times
past have changed hands over and over
again, have been bembarded and
stormed. lost and won by both sides,
but since the beginning of this month
things have changed. When these no
sitions change hands now. it is in the
allies favor, for when upheaNals have
occurred the allied infantry has storm
ed IN and driven the enemy out mt the
point cf the Dayonet. Seldom, however.
do the allies count these momentousI
scraps as battles. 1t is nothing more
than activity unless the cost iustifies
the description as an attack.
The Germans seem almost to havel
lost their old gift of initiative power
Tor hurting men upon a vital spot and
upon it.
The great central fact of the four
months campaign is that the allies
have succeeded in face of all that Ger
many could do in establishing an i'm
2enetrable line from the sea to the
Swiss frontier, That line grows daiIvl
in strength, but behind it there are ncwI
armies Of France and England waiting
to strike when the genius of Gen.
Jotfre decides that the hour has come.
