Why some Of the populace wasn't
killed by the suffrage parade on the
East Side last evening is a mystery.
The way men, women. children,
babies and dogs swarmed around ard
under the rolling wheels of oats and
decorated automobiles. fairly prostrat-
ing themselves before the demOnstra-
tion--not in reverence, but in curiosity
and wild JOY at having the sufrngists
and bands and banners and colored
lights right there in their midst--sug-
gested that the most devoted leader OF
the cause could not be more ready to
die for il than they.
Nothing happened, however. The
parade formed at Sixticth Street and
First Avenue and marched up the lat
ter thoroughfare TO Jefferson PARK,
at 11lth Street. with no worse dis
aster than a white pup that had come
out TO see the show. with q yellow

The East Side loved the parade.
Mothers came out in kimonos, their
babies on their hips. Butchers, bakers,
shoemakers hustled from their shops,
in their aprons, TO stare. How were

ton of women, the Woman Suffrage
party, and a strong political commit

a series of "yellow rallies" to make
the people think and get the men to
vote for the suffrage referendum No

But if some Of them didn't know it
others did Tired little housewives OF
the district came out TO march IN that
parade, carrying heavy banners, mem

ers who can meet only between 2 and 3
in the afternoon, when luncheon is out
of the way and their children are not
home from school. When the men saw
these mothers it made them think.
There were banners in six languages,
telling what Governor Whitman and
Mayor Mitchell and other we'll known
men have said in favor of votes for
women. There were banners in Italian,
"Vota per IL suffragis femmenile," and
banners in German, "Stlmmet tuf

dish, Bohemian, and even in Chinese.
The parade started at $3.50 o'clock

AMERICAN TARS ASK
10000 Suits Are Scornfully Re"
jected by Sailors.

Washington, Sept. 4.-The "old-
fashioned man who wears night
shirt" long sought by newspaper hu-
morists, has been found in large num-
bers in the United States navy. The
tars refuse 20 wear pajamas, and the
Navy Department is therefore stuck"
with 10000 suits, which will be Of
fored at auction.
Two years ago orders were issued
that pajamas be provided for enlisted
men, for it was assumed that this garb
would soon become very popular.
Something like 100000 pairs were pur-
chased. and the sailors were informed
that they could draw them whenever
they liked.
For a time there was no demand, but
finally some of the men discovered a
use for the garments. About $4,000
pairs were distributed. Then it was
found that the seamen were using the
pajamas as underwear. Others wore
them while coaling ships.

Gentleman Crook Returns
In MY Lady's Garter

I version in four acts. the first two
OF which are somewhat weighted with
explanatory talk, moving in tempo toe
slow for harmony with the rapid
action of the balance Of the play.
''My Lady's Garter" is distinctly
melodrams, following closely such
predecessors as Alias Jimmy Valen-
tine" The Ghost Breaker" and other
pieces in which audiences have found
their sympathies awakened by the
crook who utilizes brain instead of
Drawn for the accomplishment Of his
purpose. While holding to the species
of the familiar gentleman thief. the
development of the plot has. however,
sumcient twists of originality to rec
ommend 1t to the lover Of melodra-
matte thrills. to which may be added
couple of romances Of more or less
stereotyped variety.
In the cast are a number Of well-known
players whose excellent portrayals of the
characters they impersonate are gen.
uine pleasure. Particularly Is this true

the piece. Robert Dempster giving
sincere and earnest performance as the
victim Of mistaken identity, while Wal
lace Worsley's portrayal of THE Hawk

cent In parts less vital to the story
Albert Sacket is capable as Brokaw
Hamilton: Louis Kimball succeeds in
making Of the poet chap as consumate
a simpleton as the author would seem
to have intended: Cecil Owen makes
small role distinctive. and Paul Ev-
erton gives a satisfactory performance
as a detective.
In the matter of opportunity. the piece
is not SO kind to its women, for not one
Of the three feminine characters is dis
tfnguished by either charm or originality.
The heroine is the spoiled and willful
daughter of millionaire. who falls in
love and out and in again to suit the
occasion-and the purposes of the play.
Minna Gombel visualizes the girl with
such emphasis upon her willfulness dur
ing the first two acts that her sudden
acquisition of tenderness and charm be-
fore the end CT the piece strikes an in
consistent note. while Elsie Glynn has an
ingenue role. and Louise Macintosh is

PoIf'.-"An American Citizen"

An American Citizen" with A. H.
Van Bureh in the title role. gave Poll
audiences yesterday a remarkable du-
pIication of the comedy as originally
presented by Nat Goodwin.
ALI occasional revival of the good
plays Of the past is to be commended
in order that we may determine the
exact value of the present output. and
We find on viewing An American Cit
izen" a pleasant and interesting ex-
ample of a former dramatic fashion
that the comedies of yesteryear were
quite as effective as are those of to-
day.
The story Of the play concerns the
adventures of Beresford Cruger. a
partner absconds with funds of the
firm. and Cruger. in order to make
good the loss. accepts the terms of an
eccentric uncle's will. which leaves a
fortune to Cruger provided he be-
comes an English citizen and marries
an English girl. The two separate i'm
mediately after the ceremony. each be-
lieving the other cares nothing for the
match. but fate has ordained that the
two shall meet again. and with the
second meeting a genuine love story
develops. which has the inevitable end
ing.
The Beresford Cruger Of A. H. Van
Buren, was an admirably consistent and
human embodiment. While the character
makes no extraordinary demand upon
the great resources of the popular lead
ing man, the ease, certainty. and COM
pleteness with which Mr.. Van Buren en-
acted the part was delightful. and the
amusing situations in which Cruger fig
ures were given full value at his hands.
Florence Rittenhouse was q charming
heroine of the pretty romance. and worS
several handsome gowns-difhcult for q

partner Of the firm. in most agreeably
virile and unaffected fashion. and Peggy
Cameron was q delightfully."- natural
young lady. John NJ. Kline, J. Hammond
Daley. and Raymond Wallburn all con-
tributed to the smoothness Of an effec-
tive presentation. The four settings were
quite good and lent atmosphsrs to the
comedy.
