.Anusements
.POLI'S

< There's a real musical comedy in vaudeville size at Polls the first half of the week. The name of this very attractive little production is "At Midnight" afd it presents a big cast headed by Miss Mabel Berra, star of
 many Broadway successes. The pro- duction abounds in pretty music, ar ranged by Fred de Gresac who wrote .-The Bride Shop" The scenic in- vestiture is elaborate, while the cos tuning is something that is sure to please.
 Robert W. Chambers novel, 'The Common Law" is the vehicle in which Clara Kmball Young makes her de- but as the star of her own company. . Another feature of the film program is Pathe's Pictorial News. presenting the news and views of the world
 Willard Dashiell, formerly with the PoH Players here, received a warm welcome in the drama of political life, "A Boss There Was" written by John J. Splain of New Haven
 William Morrissey, and company .iwere a riot" as they say in stage land, with their novelty musical of- fering.
 William Ebbs, a ventrilouqist with an offering that was out of the or dinary, proved a pleasing feature, and Claire and Atwood, in their dancing and acrobatic novelty rounded out the program in a very happy way

HE
 CAN'T OVERLOOK
 WILSON'S FEATS
Record Without Parallel, Says Ex-MayOr w. J. BrOatch
 of Omaha.

Omaha, Oct. 1O-W. J. Broatch, ex- mayor of Omaha, life long Republi- can and delegate to the last Pro- gressive national convention, in a signed statement, declares his inten- ton to vote for the reelection of President Woodrow Wilson and Sen ator Gilbert M. Hitchcock.
 "In reviewing. President Wilson's administration" he writes, T find it has made a record without parallel in the history of our country. I dislike to admit it, but it is matter of record and cannot be controvert- ed. In little over three years more good has been accomplished for the common people of the United States than in 20 preceding years of Re- publican administration"
 Since the founding of the Repub1i- can party, MT. Broatch has been Republican. He served as a captain in the Civil War. Afterward he was twice mayor of Omaha, an alternate to the Republican national convention that nominated Blaine, a. Republican presidential elector for Harrison, a progressive presidential elector for Roosevelt in 1912 and a member of both the Omaha police and school boards

IF THE G. 0. P. ELEPHANT
 COULD SPEAK THE. TRUTH

Voters of the D. s. A.
 We, the Republican party. being at our wits end and desperate. put it up to you:
 For nearly four years now Demo cratic administration has been in power. Contrary to every law of req son. every principle of progress. the country is at peace and alive-nay. humming with prosperity. Business is rushing. Wages are high. The only tdiscontent is the discontent of those who are reaching for bigger chunks of plenty.
 We are fabbergasted. All this has happened during period when the rest of the world has been agog. when international crises were impending on all sides, when we would have sworn only Republican statesmanship could pull the nation through.
 No war has engulfed us. No panic has paralyzed us. No nation has with impunity continued to infringe upon our rights.
 We can't deny what has been done. All we can do is take our oath We could have done it better. How. we do not know. If only we said 1t loud and long enough we hoped the country would believe us.
 But the country is busy. and our voices grow hoarse. We are having a hard time.
 Woodrow Wilson has nothing to show us but what he has accomplished He has none of the glamour of the what-might-be. We. on the contrary have our old promises and policies mellowed by age, but still bearing, the stamp of the nations solid interests Protection. privilege. government by infiuence-surely the country has moi given them their last trial
 Wan street is with us. Big business is with us But. oh, voters, we confess 1t, we need you. Don't keep looking at the peace and prosperity around you Try to get our point O. view. What ever Wilson has done, the man is Democrat, and neither federal govern ment nor federal offices were meant to be forever in such hands
 Let's forget issues and talk as friends. Turn him out and give us chance!

LYRIC

In plays of the nature and atmos- phere of Texas" this weeks splendid attraction at the Lyric, there are in variably strong illustrations or not only the play. but the characters being greatly overdrawn.t Such, however, is not the case in this breezy writing of l"Texas," which reflects genuine life on the border of Texas, and here is where the real ranch and cowboy life actually transpires, and has, for many years. It is a most picturesque local { Ny, and just the one wherefrom J. Mauldin Feigl derived the central points of this play for which the man. agement has furnished an elaborate general production. In Texas" there arc four big acts, in which there is &C., tion throughout. with an unusual amount yof refreshing coyredy, inter mingled with stirring dramatic inci- EAent.

! PLAZA.

It was a "craekerjack'' of bill that the management of the Plaza
 had to offer for the fore part of-the
 week and yesterdays audiences were exceedingly pleased with each and
 every feature on 1t.
 Dora Dean and her six clever dark les had singing and dancing di- version to offer as the headline att traction and to say that their efforts were appreciated would be express ing it mildly. Miss Dean is a yer satile performer and she has sur rounded herself with an exceptional . cast. The repertoire employed was well diversified and unusually lively and the finish brought a tumu1tuous round of applause from the crowds.
 At the Bulletin Board" is the title of a rathef< uniquely constructed com edy singing and talking skit in the they kept the laughs coming in
 "bunches."
 Jack Sidney and Miss Billie Town ! ley established themselves as favor 1tes before they were fairly started and their breezy offering of song and dance into which vein of Imaginable \ huu1Or mas been O1dSICTIully luJeCleu, brought them back for several en- cores.
 Completing the vaudeville was Sa- mayoa whose daredevil aerial feats kept the crowds in a state of anxiety for ten minutes. Samayoa is clever and wonderfully agile. but he cer- tainly takes some long chances. Bessie Barriscale was adorable in 1, her latest achievement for Triangle, "Pfain Jane." which is shown in five
 acts. The story of "Plain Jane" is
 based upon a boarding house romance between "orphint Jane" and well bred young student whose resources have been unceremoniously dimfn- ished. How Jane falls in love with the "swell college feller" and, quite naturally with one so pretty, causes him to fall madly in love with her, i iS interestingly and amusingly work ed out in this splendid play. Charles
 Ray handles the role of the young
 student in admirable fashion. A tco part Keystone comedy fur nished many a hearty laugh to the fans

A REPUBLICAN BOOMERANG.

Nothing so forcefully reveals the desperate situation at the Republican National Campaign headquarters as their attempt to discredit President Wilson's Mexican policy by Movie picture directed by pardoned convict whose idea-pf a "thrilr' is scene showing nuns being ravished ana hose conception of patriotism is the President asleep at his desk.
 But after all. the principal Is re- sponsible for his agent. Hal Reid was only trying to earn the $35,OoO appro- priated by the Republican National Committee for a film, which now stinks so they don't want to get within smelling distance of it. And they ex- cuse themselves by saying they never knew 1t would be SO rotten! The point is this-it wasn't too rotten if they could get away with it. They were caught in the act of trying to put It over." They were caught in the act of trying to dehy responsibility for it.
 Does any one believe that Hal Reid went ahead with the faked false film before he had had his scenario O. k'd ty some one in authority at Republic an Headquarters? Everett Colby's in- dorsement, Its a corker," is sufficient proof of this.
 That it was in execrable taste or even treasonable-what was that to this crowd which has nothing to spend but money! The whole sordid affair is a fit parallel to the Rum. Romanism and Rebellion campaign which proved such a boomerang to the parties that started it. What can you expect or party which campaigns on abuse. vflli- fication. islander. innuendo and lies7 We agree with the Brooklyn Eagle in wondering 'if there was anything In this film that was not more than sug- gested by Colonel Roosevelt in his many attacks upon the Presidents Mexican policy7 He has proclaimed President Wilson responsible for the conditions that he described. Others have done the same. In view of this why should the playwright be blamed for adapting the material to his medt- um? Can it be that the villifiers of the President had to see these things on the screen before realizing how truly despicable this form of attack appears to most peOpler
 The exposure of the character of this putrid film should. says the Even ing World, prove a sharp lesson te Re. publican campaign leaders. ''The whole affair puts a stigma upon Re publican campaign methods"

TWO DEAF MUTES FACE CHARGE OF. SHAVING WOMAN

New Haven, Oct. 10-Francisco Veteri and Joseph Castelli of New York, were put on trial in the super for court here today charged with the murder of Anna, wife of Castelli, in a rooming house in this city last April. It is alleged that Veteri, in accordance with plan formed by the woman's husband, brought Mrs. Cas- telli to this city and that she was taken to the house where Castelli had hidden himself in a closet of the room taken by Veteri and the woman pre- paratory to the commission of the crime.
 Both accused are deaf mutes, as was the woman. and because of this circumstance, the case took on added interest.
 More than 70 talesmen from which to select a jury had been ordered to be on hand at the opening of court.
