GRAND.

The Grand Opera House, Cincinnati,
will have one of its biggest weeks when
David Belasco presents David Warfield
at that playhouse for an engagement be-
gii.ling next Monday evening, January
TO- On this occasion, Mr.. Warfield will
appear in David Belasco's latest play,
described as a dramatic reincarnation
of the ''Flying Dutchman'' legend which
immortal tale has inspired poets and
writer's for ages. 1t is entitled ivan
Der Decken," and takes its name from
that of the captain of the spectral ship,
which is supposed to haunt the waters
around the Cape OF Good Hope. He has
been doomed to sweep the seas until the
end of time because in trying to double
the Cape in the face of fearful storm,
he uttered a terrible oath. defying God
and the elements. His appearance on
the horizon is taken as an omen of dis
aster, and seamen quickly change their
course when this apparition is sighted,
With this weird and mystic fable as
foundation, Mr.. Belasco is said to
have written a very impressive play, re-
telling the tale once again, only in a
more beautiful. poetic, and dramatic
manner than heretofore. The time is
100 years ago and the scenes of the three
acts represent the "The Three Gulls' on
the wharves of North Sea port in
Holland, Van Der Decken's cabin on
board the Batavia, and cottage on the
outskirts of Amsterdam. Mr. War
fields role is said to be highly imag-
NATIVE and romantic one which, in Mr.
Belascos version, is not without its
touches of symbolism. 1t is said TO be
worthy in every way to be classed with
the finest achievements of Mr.. War
fields entire career.
Van Der Decken," both in the spirit
and the manner of its presentation is
said to be remarkable for an esthetic
sense of beauty which is not to be com,
pared with any other production OF re-
cent years The cast entrusted with the
various roles. includes such well knowr
names as Marie Bates, Jane Cooper, Err
nest Stallard, William Boag, Frederick

WHY WAGES WERE RAISED.

Allentown. Pa.-Editor Williams OF
the Labor Herald destroys the value OF
much publicity secured by the Lehishl
Valley Transit company as result OF
its announcement that wages would be
raised voluntarily.
1t is shown that meetings held for
organization purposes was the real tao
tor behind the company'S alleged gen
erous act. Three men had been dis
charged and the Central Trades and La
Dor Council appointed committee to
wait on the management.
I'VE know" says the Labor Herald,
that the company has discharged the
three men who they believe guilty OF
creating the conditions which forced
them to grant this voluntary increase
in order to place an obstacle in the way
of the organization movement among
the men"

The rest of the bill is equally prom
Using. There are the Marble Gems, beau-
tiful models in dazzling poses, a real
sensation from abroad. Then there are
Latoy Brothers, the funny "souse' and
the bachelor in clever circus capers. Lew
Wells, saxaphonist, is no stranger to
Empress audiences. He is funny-just
born that way. Saona, genius of i'm
presentations, is quite considerable at
traction. An then there will be, of
course, the usual two reels of comedy

PULLMAN co. RAISES WAGE.

Chicago-It is stated that the Pullman
Company has raised wages of its con-

repair plants are not included.
In the report of the Commission on
Industrial Relations it was shown that
the salary of porters ($21.5O per month";
compels them "to secure tips from the
public in order to live 1t was further
stated that company officials admitted
that its conductors and porters were I'M

direct beneficiary OF the tips from the
public to the extent of the difference
between fair wage and that which is
now paid'

URGE STRONG ELECTION LAWS.

State College, Pa-At the annual con-
vention Of the State grange disappoint-
ment was expressed by the Legislative
committee over the failure of the non
partisan act for the election of judges
to work out as expected The report
states
IF stories are correct, great sums OF
money have been spent in some of the
elections, debauching the voters and
disgracing the judiciary. We would
recommend that the legislature appoint
"A commission to ascertain the facts and
we would further recommend that a
more stringent law be passed, including
disenfranchisement of both bride giver
and bribe talier in the penalties of the

STRIKE RIGHTS EXTENDED.

Washington.-In letter to Secretary
Morrison OF the A. +. of L., Frederick
w. Mansfield attorney, Boston, calls at
tention to one portion OF the recent de-
cision of the supreme judicial court in
the case of John Cornellier against the
Haverhli Shoe Manufacturers Associa
ton which was charged with maintain
ing blacklist against Cornellier. The
court caid:
PLAINLY it would not be unlawful for
the men to combine to secure an eXpe-
rienced spokesman for their collective
bargaining, and to select an outsider in
order to avoid future criticisms from the
employer or fellow employees. Further,
the fact the person they select to speak
for them. and to act personally as their
agent in presenting the proposed price
list to their employer, happens to be an
official of the union would not render
unlawful a strike called to enforce their
demand"
In commenting on this portion OF
the decision, Attorney Mansfield says:
so far as | know it the first case
in America, or anywhere in the world,
where court OF competent jurisdic-
ton has said that strike to compel
an employer to deal with a union
through its business agent, or other
duly accredited representative, is a
lawful strike"

EMPRESS.

The seven Castelluccis, marvellous
musicians are headliners of next weeks
show at the Empress Theater-a show
that is replete with diversified high class
entertainment every act being of head
line quality and pleasing to every taste
The Castelluccis are musicians of
splendid capabilty and OF sweetest har.
mony. In the course of their delightful
program they give a merry satire of the
famous band leader, Creatore, that is
an unfailing source of screams and yells
of laughter.
All that is charming, cheerful and
gladstone is represented in magnetic and
fascinating Marie Stoddard, who for
several seasons has scored a popularity
with Empress audiences that is uneX-
celled. Whenever the merry comedienne
appears she scores a complete triumph,
and her songs, her stories, and silly
country girl impersonations are genu-
inc, witty art.

ADJUSTMENTS
LYRIC.

Why do girls born and bred in small
towns SO often have a craving, a reach
ing out with both hands, an unquench-
able longing to go to the big city? They
leave home, mother, friends, pleasant
surroundings and dear associations to
live in tiny room, in a house only half
clean, with food that barely holds the
body together, and endure this for years
rather than return to what they term
the dull monotony of home-life.
Many grow tired of the tiny room and
squalid surroundings and fall easy prey
to wicked men, who, like vultures, are
ready to devour girls innocence and
virtue; few grow discouraged in this
slow, grinding drudgery, and though
halted in time by the thoughts of home
and mother.
Of these latter is Mary Horton, the
heroine in Sinners" the four-act play
by Owen Davis, that will be presented
by William A. Brady, Ltd, at the Lyric
Theater next week, beginning Sunday,
January 9.
This is one of the strongest human
plays OF several seasons, drawing
crowded houses wherever it is presented
because of its wonderful pathos and
appeal.
Pulsing with human nature, and typ
ical of the life of today, in Sinners
Mr.. Davis has drawn deeply from the
Storehouse of sentiment and pathos fol
the materials. of his play. He sounds
the appealing note of home, and tells
once more the story of the triumph OF
virtue over vice in that struggle thai
must go on as long as humanity EN-,
dures, and which we are never tired ot
seeing on stage. The contrast be
tween the two types of characters, tn,
city and the country their morals anc
their manners, is both pathetic anc
laughable.
William A. Brady, Ltd, whose nam,
has long since grown to be guaran
tee for quality plays, has assembled hi
usual splendid cast.
