ANTI-ALIEN LABOR LAW IS HELD
 UNCONSTITUTIONAL
 BY SUPREME COURT
tContinued from Page One,

suit would be that those lawfully admit ted to the country under the authority Of the acts of Congress, instead of enjoying in substantial sense and in their full scope the privileges conferred by the ad- mission would be segregated in such Of the states as chose Q offer hospitality.
 We have frequently said that the legis- lature may recognize degrees of evil and
 sdapt it's legislation accordingly; but un- deriving the classification is the authority to deal with that at which the legislation
 is aimed. The restriction now sought to be sustained is such to suggest no limit to the states power of excluding aliens from employment if the principle under lying the prohibition of the act is con ceded No special public interest with respect to any particular business Is shown that could possibly be deemed to support the enactment, for as we have said it relates to every sort. The discrinl- ination is against aliens as such in com petition with citizens in the described range of enterprises and in our opinion it clearly falls under the condemnation of the funda mental law.

 With a dozen numbers as the musical part of the programme and pleasing comedy at every turn. each member of the company was at his or her best and won the hearty approval of those who witnessed the show.
 Helena Hall seems to improve each week in her character part and also in the rendition of musical numbers and specialties In her efforts in Tn Dreamy Mexico she appeared more at tractive than in any previous bill
 Charles Gramlich and Joe Mack, as comedians, shared equally well i'll their parts, and as "In Dreamy Mexico af- fords opportunities for originality and cleverness, they were always prepared to bring a round of laughter.
 Blanche Wilcox, Lew Click and Tom Findley assisted very materially in lead ing character parts

Robin Hood As Presented
 At Jefferson Is q Treat
of DeKoven Opera Company Last Night Without Bemish-Not Weak Voice in the Company-Miss Ivy Scott and Ralph Brainard Excellent as
 Maid Marian and Robin

Robin Hood" seems never to grow old This merry, tuneful opera so full of life and color and reminiscent of gayer and more spacious days, has qualities stalled neither by the flight of time nor frequent repetition.
 The De Koven Opera company which began an engagement of three nights and a matinee at the Jefferson theatre last night in this captivating piece. is an ex- cellent organization. There is not weak voice among the principals and the sing ing strength of the company as whole was an agreeable surprise. It is doubtful if better performance of Robin Hood las ever been given at the Jefferson, nor one in which talent was more uniformly distributed. Charming though they are. the airs of the opera must needs be well sung, if one is to enjoy them to the ut most. and there was not a single num- Der that was not rendered in capital style last night. Every one of the principals responded to several encores Such favor ite melodies as .sChurning." Brown Oc- tober Ale, 70, Promise Me" "rhe Ar morer's Song" and The Legend of the Chimes as well as the other lifting airs
 
 The performance was characterized by sprightliness and humor The company showed careful training and there was rcne of the heaviness which makes so many comic operas, as presented by road ccmpan nes, both wearisome and exasper- ating
 Miss Ivy Scott was vivacious Maid Marion. She has a voice well suited to light opera and an engaging personality. Her magnetism and high spirits made her general favorite. Ralph Brainard, who was handsome Robin Hood, has a voice of pleasing quality and gifts as an actor. James Stephens. who was Little John. amply deserved the encores he received for his rendition of Brown october Ale and other songs. Miss Cora Tracy as Alan-a-Dale sang 70 Promise Me- so ex- .quistely that she was called back num- Der of times while Herbert Waterous as Will Scarlet. Phil Branson as the sheriff of Nottingham and William Schuster as F'riar Tuck were other members of the company who deserve praise. MT. Bran son was a droll and amusing sheriff. In the drunken scene he was at his best. but at all times sly and avaricious ras- cal, with healthy fear of bold Robin.
 The manner in which the performance last night was received indicated that the De Koven Opera company deserves a lib- eral patronage Robin Hood is in itself q delight and it was presented in de- lightful way.
