Giants Start Three-0ame Series on
West Side-cIbs. Slump.

Today win probably break down
the resolution Of the remaining fans
who took the pledge never to attend
a game on the West Side again. Their
intentions we're perfectly good, but
the bait of a Cub-Giant combat is too
sweet to be denied.
There is something in the mere
idea of a tangle between these two
clubs that arouses enthusiasm and
brings visions of regular bang-up
fights, with a possible splitting Of gore.
Nearly all of the Cubs who made
these battles spectacular have de-
parted from the local lot, but the Old
feud has been handed down to th8.

Reports from the training camps OF
Willie Ritchie and Charley White are
to the effect that both battlers are
in perfect condition for their fight to-
morrow night. f5a...
White is highly thought Of by some
of the local ring fans, but it is hardly
likely he will succeed where VOL
CAST, Cross and Murphy failed,
Some Of the usual skeptics are
limiting that Ritehie may not exert
himself, and viii just edge out a YER
dict in order to get another Milwau-
kee match with azheavy purse.
That is an unfair suspicion. This
fight will be as straight as a string,
and tough battle an the way, with
both men working to the limit. Since
winning the championship Richie
has never mixed up in anything
shady.
Willie doesn't have to pull his fights
in order to plant a return engage
ment. He demands exorbitant purses
in the first place, gets them; and
then proceeds to give an entertain
ment worth the coin.

McGI%NHS SIDING.

Quite a good lot OF rivalry exists
between Jacobius Long and Col
Murdoch as to which Of them
can get away with the least publicity
in the Advocate. While each seems
to be inclined to be better known than
they are, they both try to keep from
falling into the clutches of the Nc
Ginnis Correspondent Just why they
have taken a disfavor to newspaper
publicity I am unable to say, but it
il generally believed here that they
have been considerably -guyed" about
the articles which have already ap-
peared concerning them. Jacobius
jumps at every opportunity To get the

Colonel never overlOoks ca chance to

KEENEYS

Edward Van Sloan and company
are the headliners at Keeney's The
atre this week, in a oneract playlet
entitled SCOOP" Large crowds
marked the matinee and evening per-
formances at the theatre yesterday
for Edward Van Sloan is an old Ia
vorite, having been member OF the
stock company at the Orpheum
Theatre.
Scoop" is a playlet which concerns
the lives of two newspaper reporters.
A murder is sliced in between num-
Der of other tragic events, and the
piece offers Mr.. Van Sloan plenty of
opportunity to display his ability.
Edmond Sorhagen. another ex-mem-
Der of the former company at the
Orpheum, is an able assistant to Mr..
Van Sloan, and was also given a
notable reception on his return to the
Newark stage.
The Oxford Trio, who play a game
of polo on bicycles, offered a distinct
novelty. and the Singing Six, with
songs and whistling selections, were
called upon for number of encores.
Other acts are: Farley and Butler,
in a talking and singing act; Joe
Brennon, monologue with several
good songs; Dixon and Dixon, who
offer a musical act of the first water
Fitch B. Cooper. burlesque artist OF
merit, and Wolgast and Girls, aero

The show for the last half Of the

MINERS

Miners Empire Theatre presents
the old-time favorite Ben WEIGH and
his musical burlesque show for the
entire week.
There is not a dull moment It
seems to have been the idea of Mr..
WEIGH to keep the dancing girls be-
fore the audience at all times.
Ben WEIGH is just as funny as ever
and his character work is excellent
He is, however,. compelled to share
honors with his co-workers, Miss
Mabel Howard, a dashing soubrette,
and Miss Minnie bud" Harrison.
Both have ability and know just how
to show 1t to best advantage. They
are clever singers and graceful
dancers. Miss Harrison is especially
we'll trained in the latter art and
presents a pleasing number.
The musical numbers are all well
rendered and catchy. Care has been
paid to the staging of the various
numbers and the costuming. The
vehicle used to exploit the nonsense
Is called Love Water" There is no
plot, but there are many amusing
situations. The chorus. large one,
is deserving OF much credit.

OLYMPIC PARK

Martha" F. Won Flotowss fine
three-act opera, was splendidly sung
by the Olympic Park opera company
last night and won deserved applause
from a large audience that turned out
for the first performance. The opera
has been produced at the park fire.
quently in past years. but never in
such fine shape as it was last night.
The company, both principals and
chorus, were never in better singing
voice, while the company. speaking
from the standpoint of costumes. was
as well dressed as most companies
that are prepared for a season on the
road instead of week in stock.
From a scenic standpoint also the
production was noteworthy one. all
five of the scenes in the three acts
of the opera being beautiful, the two
scenes showing the fair grounds at
Richmond being especially effective
The story of the opera is too well
known to need repetition, but suffice
to say that the principals were equal
to every demand their roles made on
them, while the chorus was an able
| aid at all times.
| As the teasing, witty Lady Harriet
| Durham. masquerading as.the maid.

was at her very best. while her voice,
which is well fitted for difficult music
such as is contained in the score of
Martha" was pleasing at all times
Miss Sara Edwards, as Nancy, the
-eapricious companion of Lady Har-
riet, added another role to the many
she has successfully portrayed at the
park this season and earned many de-
served recalls by her exceptionally
clever work. John c. Phillips and

Briggs. as Lord Tristan Mickelford,
Lady Harriet's aged cousin and adj
mirer. scored hit. while Richard
Morgan, as the sheriff, and Harry
ROLAND, as a servant, were good in
small roles.
While all the musical numbers were
well rendered, the ones that particu-
iarly stood out were the ever popular
'Tis~ the Last Rose of Summer"
sung in a splendid manner BY Miss
Blanche Rae Edwards: the drinking
song. Il Want to Ask You" by John
=. Thomas. and the aria, Like a
Dream. Bright and Fair sang by

GOODWIN

THE Man on the Box" one of
Jesse L. Lasky's productions, which
is said to be even more interesting
than the book of the same name is
the feature photoplay at the Goodwin
for the first three days of the week
The details of the original story are
followed out closely and the pictures
as a whole are of much interest.
"Evangeline," Longfellow's beauti-
full classic of Acadian life, is the
plot for moving picture of the same
name which will be seen at the Good
win the latter half of the week. The
original poem is followed out as mucn
as possible. AS a special attraction
on Friday will be shown Mary Pick

actress in new films. Pictures in
which she is featured were also shown
yesterday. The Pathe News. comedy
and scientific films are shown daily

STRAND

A little girl who, next to her
mother, is the chief character of the
photoplay, Faithful Unto Death, :"
shown at the Strand during the first
three DAYS this week, performs with
the consummate skill of Sarah
Bernhard.
The picture deals with the Franco
Frussian war of 1870.
The Prussians have captured a tel
egraph station, and the widow of the
French telegrapher is held captive.
She succeeds In tapping" the wire
and obtaining information which, at
the risk OF her life, she carries to the
French headquarters. AS a result,
the Germans meet with a crushing
defeat in the ensuing battle. The
woman is detected when she again
taps the wire and is ordered to be
shot.
Her little girl had meanwhile be-
come endeared to the soldiers quar-
tered in the station, and they tell her
they would gladly save her mother,
but none but the crown prince mas
power to grant such request.
The little one hurries to the crown
prince, the -visaged father OF
the present German emperor, and
entreats him to save her mother. Her
pleading is pathetic in the extreme,
and the crown prince and his entire
staff are moved. The girls request is
finally granted. The order for her
mothers pardon is signed, but by the
time the galloping trooper delivers
it the sentence OF death has beer
executed. And all the little one finds
is a mound. beneath which her
mother liess
The battle scenes in this four-reel
picture are wonderfully realistic.

first part of the week. The story is
appearing in the Evening Star. The

week will include Captain Alverez. .
