AL. H. Wilson

Local theatregoers can prepare them
selves for a few hearty laughs and an
evening of keen enjoyment on Satur-
day afternoon and evening at the Ma
jestic when Al. H. Wilson, the popular
singing German dialect comedian, will
present revival of SWhen Ond New
York Was Dutch,'' the play that helped
so much to make him famous as a star.
Hardening back to the days when New
York City was known as New Amster-
dam, the story of "When Old New
York Was Dutch introduces in sue
cession touch of the seattle jolly
Roger and its merry crew, Colonial of
fetal life as it was then, and the dis
tinctly feminine feature, milady's bou-
doir. There is just enough of the love
element introduced to add zest to the
story, while the agreeable comedy and
new songs interspersed by Mr.. Wilson
lend additional interest to the perform
ance. Mr.. Wilson's new song numbers
this season include "When l First Met
You, ''Moon, Moon, Moon" "When
the Rosses in Spring, Bloom Agar" "
Mr.. Bear and "Auf Weidersehn

At the .oruheum

Two popular funsters of this week s

who have been almost as popular here
in previous visits, but who this time
seem to have struck new comedy vein
quite different from their former rou.
tine. In all the realm of Hebrew char.
acter artists, that is of the song and
dance variety, there are no two names
that come higher than Hoey and Lee
and they are favorites in the metro
Politan cities just as they are in Har-
risburg. The present season finds this
duo in departure from their custo.
mary routineVOf fun. In their first
place they wear nice, neat dress suits
instead of their comedy togs of yore.
And the arrangement of their fun and
songs is much different too.
All that remains is the same mirth
producing duo, who never depended on
togs to win laughs. Their comedy gags
are all crisply new here and their par
odies just evoke round after round of
enthusiastic laughter. This duo will
make you laugh in spite of yourself.
They are one of the very clever teams
appearing at the Orpheum this week
supporting the Omar Opera Company in
an excellent vocal act; Milton Pollock

NEWS OF THE SPORTING WORLD
TO fICHT ST.PATRICE'S DAY
willard Has Agreed to Change of Date
But johnson Has Yet to
Consent

Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. 25.-March II is
the tentative date for the Jack john
scn-Jess Willard fight, according to an
announcement yesterday by Promoter
Jack Clrley. Willard agreed to the
change in date from March 6, and Cur
ley said he was cabling johnson at
Havana for his consent.
Discussing the chances of johnson
signing in Havana with another pro-
moter, Curley said the nego is firmly
bound by contract to fight Willard in
Juarez, and would be foolish to try to
avoid it.
Curley announced last night that he
would leave to-day for Havana, where
johnson remained yesterday. 1t was
said the trip to Cuba did not necessar-
lily mean the transfer of the fight to
Havana, although no prediction was
ventured as to the outcome of the situ-
ation. The announcement followed the
receipt of a cablegram from johnson,
the contents Of which were not given
out. Willard will tighten his training
work until something definite is receiv-
ed regarding johnson s arrival for the
6ght, originally set for March 6, it was
announced yesterday.
Physicians have pronounced Willard
in good shape, but the indefinite post
ponement of the bout brought fear that
he might overtrain.

rooms, storage, etc.

known in this city and vicinity. He
came to Harrisburg when three years
old and resided here until little more
than year ago, when he sold his store,
4O4 Walnut street, to Isaac Lipman
and moved away.

ham Goldsmith, who for many years
was prominent merchant, doing bust
ness on Market street. Afterwards he

for his father, Benjamin Brenner. who
