1.-THE Crinoline Girl" the week s
offering at the Newark Theatre. Is
rather more than vehicle for the
exploitation of the peculiar art of
Julian Eltinge. Called on the pro-
gram a ''farcial melodramatic COM
edy with SONGS it sets out from
the beginning to live up to its title.
A few sad-eyed individuals pro-
test that they do not care for farce
on the ground that it's silly; but
| the theatre going public as a whole
loves it, leafs it up" in the ever
expressive vernacular.
Mistaken identity is the particular
hook upon which nine farce come
dies out of ten are hung, and its
| success lies in the fact that the man
out in front takes an unholy joy in
witnessing the stupidities of his fell
low creatures, even though they are
| only 'play-aeting. +"
Let a funny fat man be arrested
by mistake and he'll howl in glee.
Permit white haired old beau to
be trieked into flirting with a pretty
woman, and the man out in front
will chuckle. And when, toward the
end Of the second act, the players
are apparently hopelessly involved
in the meshes of the plot, he wakes
ecstatic, knowing all about it as he
does: who is guilty and who is not;
quite forgetting that the actors
know all about it, too, having sue
cessfnlly enacted the farce to its
happy end the night before.
Which is rather a roundabout way
of getting to 1.-THE Crinoline Girl. :"
No, it isn't either. The idea of the
above dissertation was TO convey the
fact that 1.-THE crinoline Girl'' has
all of the necessary attributes of
popular farce comedy. Which fact
is not surprising. considering tha.
the book is the work of Otto Hauer-
bach, whose success began with "Tho
Three Twins" of which he was a
collaboration.
OF course, there's a mystery. Ten
thousand dollars is the tidy reward
offered FOR The capture of the famous
society thief whose particular spe-
cialty consists of relieving unsuspect-
ing ladies of their jewels at exclu-
sive affairs. Tom Hale is a earefree
chap of the Satan-ever-finds-so

Music Notes

At the first rehearsal of the or

musicians were told to remember
that they are all Americans, no mat
ter where they were born to realize
that patriotism and bravery. culture
and civilization are not confined to
the countries of their birth; to be
thankful that they are in a peaceful
country, and to permit themselves
to be moved to pity, instead of anger.

tion of Al Jennings's life story. 1t is
further stated that their handsome
outlay up to date on this film repre-
sents something like $4,000, with no
release date.
A romantic story. in which realism
and fantasy are strikingly combined,
is the latest release to be made by
Bosworth. 1t Is called 1.-THE Pursuit
of the Phantom" with Myrtle Sted-
man in the stellar role.
Upon Pancho Villas recent visit to
Tucson, Ariz., the members of the
Eclair Company grasped the oppor-
tunity of taking a close view of the
man who had monopoly on the
'front.' page of most dailies before the
European war crowded him out.
There are strong rumors to the
effect that Pearl White Is leaving
Pathe Freres to return to her old
parent, the Crystal Company.

Origin of Knitting

Knitting, at which every woman is
now getting plenty of practice. Is a
Scotch invention of the fifteenth CEN
fury, and Scotch knitted stockings
soon found their way to France. A
guild of stocking knitters, too, was
soon formed, with st. Fiacre as their
patron saint Hand knitting was not
long left without machinery as a
rival, for it was as long ago as 1883
that william Lee invented the knit

AN AURORA LYNCH|NG
so YEARS AGO

For nearly fifty years the old
town Of Aurora has been practical
ly deserted, The ruins Of a four
story brick hotel that was guttad
by fire in the early days but the
wells of which are still intact, have
furnished shelter for prospectors
and other wild animals for half
a century and deer have been seen
browsing in the streets of what was
once a city Of ten thousand people.
Now that the old town is being
rrjuvenated and is attracting the
attention Of the mining men Of the
state, modern mining method
handling at q profit, ore that the
pioneers passed by as worthless, it
is interesting to look hack into the
history of the camp and see what
manner of men they e who
lived in this country in the early
days. The following account Of a
"lsnching affair" is taken from the
files Of a California newspaper dat
ed February ID, 1864.
A lynching affair unparalleled in
the annals of the Pacific Coast, &C.
Cured at Aurora, Nevada. On
February End a respected citizen
Of Nevada formerly of California,
named w. r. Johnson was found
lying dead on the main street Of
the town shot through the head and
his jugular vein severed by o knife
thrust. He kept a stage station
about twenty miles from Aurora
and had been spending the night OF
the first with q set of easy going
fellows, playing cards and billiards
in different resorts until after mid.
night His body was found about 8
o.. m. and it Yves soon known that O
foul murder had been committed

crime upon the guilty men.
