EMPRESS.

A decided and potential step in adj
vance OF present-day vaudeville will be
found in next weeks extraordinary
show at the Empress Theatre. The en-
tire seven acts will be found worthy OF
decided approval In other words. it
is marvellous vaudeville that will be Of
fered here.
The supreme attraction will be Sam
Curtis and the Coli Girls. Not only is
this act richly staged an gorgeously
costumed, but a company OF ten song
soloists and fun-makers, both men and
women, make the music fest lively,
animated and full of brilliant attractive
ness.
Another act Of splendid merit is one
that will create more than the average
enthusiasm; indeed, it is counted on to
cause a furore because OF its originality
and sterling excellence. 1t is Mile
elephant, who does everything but talk.
Rhoda Royal, famous among arcnic
show folk. presents this truly sensa-
tional feature, and it is a radical de-
parture from anything ever witnessed
in a theatre. This output of the saw
dust ring is a revelation in unbeatable
entertainment.
The rest OF the bill includes the fol
lowing excellent acts: West and Boyd,
in "A budget OF rollicking harmony and
screaming chatter; Tom Brantford,
"the human band" who is, truly, a one
man orchestra; Scharf and Ramser,
who sure can sing some; the Aerial
Pats. who feature speedy and scnsa-
tional doings aloft; and two reels OF
comedy photofilms.

massive scenes and twenty odd song

high-class vaudeville fame as Irene

on. Frances Kennedy, VIII Philbrick
Gilbert Gregory, James Duffy, Mcr-
cedeS Lorenz and Henry Coote. The
chorus is said to have been selected
with the idea OF securing as many fresh
faces and forms OF youth and beauty
as possible, while for the music it is
only necessary to say that it was writ
ten by Harry Carroll to the lyrics ot
Ballard Mcdonald These two song
writer's have, for the past six years
been supplying many OF the most sen
sational song hits OF the time, chic
among them being Syncopated Susie

that they have done their best work il

have written twenty odd numbers
among the most striking being "ThC

given embellishments out OF the ordi
nary, and the costumes viii be a fca

be revelation may easily be guessed
when it is stated that they were all de
signed by the artist who has made tn
last two Winter Garden shows so mucl

OLYMPIC THEATER.

Two funnier burlesques than those Of
fered in Hello Paris" which will come
to the Olympic Theater during the week
of February 9th, certainly never existed.
They were both produced by Will
Roehm and afford splendid opportunities
for the funmaking of Geo. a. Clark and
Edward Crawford. two very clever COM
cdians, recruited from the rank of big
time vaudeville. The chorus is said to
consist of some of the prettiest maids
than any burlesquc show has ever been
fortunate enough to possess. In fact, the
entire production is one that no one who
likes beauty and fun should miss.

EIGHT-HOUR LAW UPHELD.

Seattle, Wash.-Judge Smith OF the
King county superior court has ruled
that the state eight-hour public works
law is legal and that the commissioners
of this county have the right to cstab-
lish minimum wage OF $2.25 day for
county road work
The so-caled station work" system
OF sub-letting road contracts was de
clared to be an evasion OF the eight
hour law and the court called atten-
ton to the contract signed by illit-
crate workers who did not know what
they were signing, This was held to
be contrary to public policy and was
an attempt to defeat the plain intent
OF the state law and the minimum
wage order OF the county commission
ers The road contractors were pros
ccuted by Labor Commissioner Olson
and other state officials, who insist
that a contrary ruling recentlv made
by Judge Wright OF the Thurstor

DODGE CITY CHARTER
MANDATE.

ST. Louis Mo-, Jan. 22.-Trade union
lists are demanding that city officials
comply with the new municipal charter
mandate that all city employees shall re-
ceive the prevailing rate of wages"
Organized workers feared favoring in
serting union scale of wages" because
of possible court annullment, but during
the campaign the intent of the prevail
ing rate of wages" provision was thor
oughly understood by citizens. The leg
slative committee of the Central Trades
and Labor Unions is now urging city
officials to appropriate money sufficient
to comply with the law, but the plan is
given little support. The committee re-
ports to the central body:
Statements have been made by the
city officials that the increases demanded
by organized labor will increase the city
payroll between Is and 20 per cent, or
approximately 100000, and that an in
crease of 2 cents may be necessary in
the tax rate to meet this advance. In
this connection we wish to note that
these officials did not show any con-
scientious scruples in accepting the hand
some increases in salaries given them by
the new city charter"

Sweeping is a muscular effort which
has been attached to homework so
that woman may not idle the precious
hours away. 1t was originated by some
modern Bluebeard who was afraid
that his wife might have time to catch
her breath between meals.
sweeping is accomplished by Selling
stltf-necked corn broom in both
hands and leaning heavily against
every rug in nine-room house with
the small of the back This is good ex-
erclse for the back, which proceeds to
curl up in the form of horseshoe and
discharge shooting pains If woman
has a strong, resolute back in good
state OF preservation, she will not hear
anything from it until the next dav.
just p1or to dressing for a club meet
ing, when it win contract a loud, pene-
tratlng ache and refuse to move out
or the house. If all of the parsimonious
husbands now at large could have a
