1.-THE Fight" another one Of the
underworld type of shows that are
so prevalent this season, is on view
at the Newark Theatre this week, and
in plainness of language and actloh
in discussing and showing Things
generally taboo on the stage It quite
outdoes all the others that have pre-
ceded it on local stages this winter.
The play is a drama in four acts by
Bayard Weller, author OF Nitain
the Law" and like that show is wen
written and is produced by a capapie
company. There is a tendency at
times to improbable situations put
this tendency is not shown IN the
underworld scenes that take place
IN the first and second act.
The situations there are real, so
startlingly realistic that they leave
tho audience gasping for breath IN
wonderment that such Nsordid and I'M
wholesome scenes are permitted on
the stage.
The second act is about as daring
a bit of work as has ever been put
on the stage. THE Second MIS-
rane 4ary," Mrs. Warren's Profes-
sion,'' "Sapho,' and other risque
shows of bygone days pale to lnslg5
nificance beside it, and thrilling ana
intensely interesting as it was there
was a sign of relief from the audi
ance when the curtain fell on 1t last
hight.
The scene is the library of James
Vance, a crippled, misshapen dive
keeper, and through the swinging
doors of the library can be seen at
intervals the dance hall filed with
Young men and women. The entire
act reeks with sordidness and is real
v unnecessary to show. But it is of
The class of scenes that are in vogue
this winter and as long as the thea
ere patrons seem to care for them
and applaud them, why rail against
them?
Briefly. 1.-THE Fight" tells the story
of Jane Thomas a woman banker IN
the town of Thomaston, a small city
in Colorado where they have woman
suffrage. Miss Thomas has decided
to run for mayor and has been en-
couraged by the business men and
politicians until it is discovered that
she intends to reform the town II
elected.
Then her defeat is decreed and to
accomplish this the aid of Senator
Woodford is sought. He comes to
Thomaston accompanied by his sew
enteen-year- old daughter. His daugh-
ter is kidnapped and taken 70 Vance
place where later comes Senator
Woodford. Money passes between
Vance and Woodford and the latter
is given the key to the room where
his daughter is imprisoned
He unlocks the door and discovers
his own daughter. Pretty theme, isn't

THE MULE
BY Berton BraIey.

BY Berton BraIey.
You couldn't call the mule "a beaut,"
However much you boast of him,
For pulchritude is not his suit,
To say the very most of him; =.
His disposition, too, is not
Especially commendable,
And though he'll often stand lot
His temper's indispensable.
He's hard of mouth and obstinate;
Acquaintance soon reveals of him
That it is sometimes tempting fate
To get too near the heels of him;
And when he lays those long ears
back
No beating or reproving him
Will ever stir him from his track
Until the spirits moving him.
And yet-and yet the mule will thrive
And labor with agility
Where horses cannot keep alive,
But die with great facility;
His treatment frequently is rough,
But he is quite resigned to it,
And he can toll with vim enough
When he makes up his mind to it!
Not always is heavy stick
The most effective charm to him,
For, though his muleship's hide is
thick,
Good usage does no harm to him;
So look on him with kindly eye
And you will not repent of it;
His market price is very high,
And he's worth every cent of it!
