Evelyn Nesbite Thaw, notorious
throughout the country as the wife Of
Harry Kendall Thaw, slayer Of stan
ford White, and prisoner in Matteawan

last night with company of vaudevil-

crowd Of curious Salemites present to
see the woman who figured in the head

in such a sensational manner 1t was
idle curiosity that drew the audience to
see one who was once member of the
famous Floradora Sextette, then the
wife of Harry Thaw, and then the cen

which she barred the secrets of her re-

was shot in a mad frenzy by Thaw.

New Shows on Broadway
A flood Of new shows struck Broad
way in mid-April. Raymond Hitchcock
in "The Beauty Shop, "The Red Ca
nary" "The Dummy a detective
comedy, and "The Governors Boss "
all opened about the same time, to say
nothing of "The Truth" the Clyde
Fitch comedy, which was originally a
failure, but is brought back after seven
years for second trial.
"The Governors Boss" is hopeless.
Based on the Sulzer case, it is filled
with dictograph bosses, and what not,
but brought more laughter when it
was supposed to be serious than any
thing else.
A new comedian appeared in "The
Red Canary" in T. Roy Barnes. Com
ing from vaudeville Barnes was known
by but few who witnessed the first
performance, but he was Immediately
accepted. Barnes has legs as long and
active as Richard Carle's. He is young,
full of life and energy, can sing lit
tie, and got over with a punch. "The
Red Canary" is a typical summer mu-
steal show, light and without much Sc
rious effort toward plot, but anus
ing and entertaining. With the aid
Of Leila Hughes and Adele Rowland
Barnes carried most of the fun of the
piece. ''The Dummy" by Harvey
OHiggins and Harriet Ford is full of
good wholesale humOr, is thoroughly
amusing and by following along human
rather than impossible lines, as a de-

entertaining and approaches thrill.

When it comes TO curiosity on the

spoilers and the crowds moved in
droves. The show of all nations was
popular. The strong man, wild man,
fat lady, Hindo wonder, the Wat s 1t

pie performed their parts to the de-

show is really out of the ordinary. The
singing and music are great, and the
actors and actresses handle their re-

Following the breaking out of the Eu-

with the hope of securing admission
to the French army and passage to

taken and transported east, and on
to Europe, as they were members of
the reserve classes called to the col

come within the age limit or were ma

found themselves out of work, strand

these men was called to the attention
of 1sadOre Bernstein. manager of the

The educational value Of "The Jun

value-and that is saying much. There
are more thrills. more dangers faced
by the players to every foot OF this
film than is evidenced in the whole
realm of animal features. You see
the brutes approach the traps. You
see them snip the bait and then plunge
into the trap, which means lifelong
captivity. You see them floundering
in the meshes of the nets, scratching,
clawing, biting, roaring and struggling
with every ounce of their mighty
strength to free themselves.
