Eight light vaudeville acts and mo
ton pictures form the program at
Proctor's Park Place Theatre for the
first three days of the week. Not q
sketch. or piece of heavy work is on
the bill. "rhe Garden Party" Il mu-
steal number, presented by b. A.
Rolfe. takes headline honors.
Good Instrumental and vocal music
is presented by the cast of ten per-
sons. George Hall, monologist,
made n big hit with his funny say
ings and his recitations. He selected
1.-THE Green Eye Of the Little Yellow
God and Rudyard Kip!ing's "Gunda
Din" to recite, and he rendered both
of them in clever style.
Cecilia William and John Cook, and
West and Boyd display some of the
latest dance steps. The former
couple demonstrate the "a. b. C."
tango. The latter add a few songs to
their dancing repertoire and get away
with it. Gretchen Spencer, a singing
comedienne, was well received. ELI

KEENEYS

One of the most remarkable child
actors ever seen on q local stage is
j. c. Lewis, jr.. youngster of seven,
who appears at Keeney's Theatre for
the first half of this week. The boy
has exceptional talents and is q born
comedian. He appears in Il sketch
with his father, mother and older sis
ter and q younger sister. The act
scored hit with the audiences yes
terday.
A very important part of the I'M
usual bill is Ed Handy, a tramp come
dian whose jokes are much newer and
better than tramp comedians jokes
usually are. He brings several enter
tanning songs into his act Handy
was forced to answer several encores.
An interesting wrestling exhibition
is given by the Frey twins, who illus

MINERS

Ed Lee Wrothe and his Ginger
Girls" are the offering at Miners
Theatre for this week. From the
amount Of applause given the perfor-
nance last night the show is well
worth seeing. The famous Pincess
Dover in her sensational emotion
dances is an added attraction.
Wrothe had the title role cut to suit
himself and he did full justice to the
part of Janitor Higgins in the two
act playlet by that name. New jokes
seemed to be his specially and though
several from the ages gone by slipped
in he had way of telling them that
made many believe they We're from
the present vintage. Henry p. Nell
son, the German comedian, easily
held his own with his inimitable dia-
iect. His natural physical advantages
almost six feet in height-help him
greatly. Gus Roeber, too, with plenty
OF race track slang, was good
Princess Dover has a dance that
is somewhat new to the average
theatre patron. She employs and
brings to notice her ability to easily
throw out of place her shoulders and
arms. The manner of entwining her
arms about her head and then going
through graceful gyrations of both
body and feet is wonderful. In her
barefoot dance she carries the house,
for here are brought into play every
movement that has ever been at
tempted by high class dance artists.
Jean La Beau, Ethel Marmot and
Una Chadwick cannot be overlooked.
The stage settings, too, are de-
serving of praise, especially the
second act, which discloses q scene
of the North pole with the aurora
borealis in the background.

CURTAIN
CALL

THE Fourteen Z. S. A. Boys" an
act that was billed as headliner at
keeney's Theatre for the first naif
of the present week, did not appear
at that theatre yesterday, The reason

city where the act appeare last week
that several of the performers in it
had left the act to rejoin the army,

Madam Mimi Aguglia, who is the

SOCIETY IRRsR 1EL0DRH
by ADELINE CARRIoK WELLS

| III ADELlNE NAhhiCh ILLS
| Music lovers have a treat, or rather
a series of treats, in store for them
| if the weeks work of the San Carlo
Opera Company at the Newark The
| atre maintains the standard that was
achieved in Donizettis Lucia di
Lammermoor" last night.
The beautiful score was presented
with an earnestness that completely
offset the inadequate scenery and
rather mediocre costuming. From the
leading principal and the last man in
the chorus there was u like degree
of effort to give his best, and it was
delighted audience that gathered up
its wraps at the end of the closing
scene.
Evige Yaccari, who was cast as
Lucia, displayed the moods of that
unhappy maiden with dramatic ease.
Nine. Naccaris voice is very. flexible
and has q happy faculty of retaining
its sweetness on the very high notes.
Her colorature effects were given
with apparent lack of effort In the
early scenes with Edgard Nine. Vac
carl acted with charming grace.
Their duet, MY Signs Shall on the
Balmy" called for enthusiasm.
Pilade Sinagra, who sang the role
of Edgard, has voice of splendid
timbre. His numbers were given
with earnest vigor, earnest enough to
make us forget his lack of personal
grace. Henri, Lucia's scheming
brother, was intelligently character
lied by Angelo Antoia, whose voice
has an appeal that Sinagras voice
lacks, though it has not the latter's
vigor. In the ever-loved sextet the
voices of the principals blended with
fine effect.
1t is probable that a better chorus
has never come to Newark. The en-
semble work was all that could be de-
sired, and the orchestra, under the
of Chevalier Giuseppe An
geiini, earned the applause 1t re-
ceived.
People should not be deferred from
going to hear this company of sing
ers because the opera Is given in
Italian If one is fairly acquainted
with an operas story it is easy to
follow it's action. And on sale in the
lobby are very complete books of the
several offerings happily arranged
with the English version directly OPP
posite the italian words.
Lucia" was considerably abridged
last night, but not seriously enough to
interfere with the smoothness of the
production. The San Carlo Company
deserves to be well supported.

HN GERTRUDE VI PRICE


Los ANGELES, April 2S.-I
have just paid visit to the only in
corporated city in the world where
moving picture players are the sole
resident.
1t is called the Universal city and
is situated in the hills which bound
the San Fernando valley some miles
from here.
Less than a year ago, when 1 saw
it first, it consisted merely of cook
house and an outdoor stage or two.
This unique centre of picture play
ers is differed by a woman mayor
and q woman chief of police. Lois
Weber, one of the few successful
women producers of moving pictures,
holds the highest office. And Laura
Oakley, a photoplayer of many parts,
has the unusual distinction of being
chief.
A street in Universal city is a cap
ital reminder of q typical early time
western town. One of Interesting
features is that everything in it can
be and is utilized, at one time or
another, for pictures! II a western
scene Is to be shown which requires
saloon, scene painters and property
men are called and given orders to
erect and paint such a building; for
there is not q real saloon on the
place. In an increditably brief time
the building is ready, for, be it known
to the uninitiated, only the front of
the structure is built. unless an in
quired.
For people who suppose that dan
gcrous scenes and hair-breadth incl
dents are TAXED" on the screen it
may be interesting to know that a
genuine up-to-date hospital has been

ORPHEUM

Melodrama, comedy, farce and
musical comedy is intern1iXed at the
Orpheum Theatre this week by the
Brownell-Stork Stock Company, in
James B. Fagen's Hawthorne, of the
U. s. A" The play is billed as farce
comedy, but this only half explains
it's intricacies. AS a farce it is ridicu
lously funny; as a melodra1na 1t is
intensely sensational and impossible,
and as musical comedy 1t had
touches of George Cohan's "Giye MY
Regards to Broadway" The variety
offered makes an interesting and ac-
tive play that took well with last
nights audience.
The plot revolves around Haw-
thorne, of New York city. He drops
into one of the small unheard-o OF
European kingdoms, prevents a revo-
luton, strangles a would-be usurp,ng
prince pretender. and single handed
holds an angry mob in check by dis
playing his mammoth wealth. This
consists of no more than his earnings
at Monte Carlo, where he broke the
bank. He was in love with the
princess, the heiress apparent to tho
throne. That's why he did all these
things for 81 strange country. Then
the king turns the country into "a
republic so that Hawthorne CAP
marry the princess.
Clifford Stork is Yankee boy Haw.
thorne. He carried off his part with
all the spirit and vim Of his sales
manship days. He just merely en-
acted his usual breezy manner, and
that is just what the part calls for.
Miss Brownell was the princess, and
a more charming and yet modest
being could not be imagined. She
seemed to just fit nicely into the part.
Edward Van Sloan, with his Eng
fish accent still apparent, portrayed
the part OF the king of whole affair.
Mr.. Van Sloan was exceptionally good
in this Interpretation of the old man,
Joseph Sullivan has the part of the
prince who started the revolution, but
the less said about him the better.
Grant Erwin was very good as Rod
Blake, Hawthornes brother adYen-
turer and companion.
The scenes are laid in the summer
garden of the palace De Kackiacke
the reception room of the Casino
Gberon, and the kings workshop,

PLAN TO BOOST
NEWARK MUSEUM
Creation of Associate Member
ship to Be Discussed at An
nuaI Meeting.

Members of the Newark Museum
Association will vote on the PROPOSE
ticn of creating an associate member
ship, at the annual meeting tonight
in the Public Library. Librarian John
Cotton Dana, president of the organi-
zation, has started the associate MEM
Lcrship movement for the purpose of
increasing interest in the local art
museum.
At present there are $40 members,
whose annual dues amount to 50. 1t
is planned to fix the annual dues Of an
associate member at 81. This, 1t is
believed, will result in an increase OF
interest in tho project, with posi-
bility of the annual revenue receiving
boost. The 81 fee is the outcome
of numerous requests from those who
would join the association but think
the S. item TOO much for their tit
come.
In addition to the membership
proposition the annual reports of the
president, secretary and treasurer will
be read. The Newark Museum Assoc
citation is three years old, and while
splendid results have been obtained 9
renewed progressive spirit is expected
to result from the increase of mem
bership and popularity of the project.

LYRIC

Loyalty" a beautiful and appeal
ing drama of love and devotion, Is
presented in photo-play at the Lyric
Theatre for the first half of this week.
The play is romance of old Amster-
cam.
Loyalty" is quite a charming love
story, as the name indicates. 1t has
attracted considerable attention
wherever shown, not only because OF
the interesting narrative which it un-
folds, but also because of the sensa-
tional scenes which the play contains.
This Is the only motion picture made
in which q balloon is seen to burst
hundreds of feet in the clouds
