LORING'S MUSICAL
REVUE SCORES HIT
Gingery Company Makes Decidedly Fa-
vorable mpression-Tonigh ght's Bill
Is Fun in Barber Shop.

The Ben Loring Musical Revue
opened yesterday at the Auditorium to
two good sized houses and scored big
hit. 1t is one Of the most gingery
companies that ever appeared there,
and is a great laugh producer. 1t is
good all through, and it is not sur
prising that places where it has shown
are seeking for the company 5 return.
The opening attraction was Dooley at
the Cabaret, in which Ben Loring took
the part of Dooley. He kept the au-
dience in an uproar with his funny
sayings, and his Coupon song was a
hummer.
Miss Madeline Buckley, prima don
ma soprano, revealed an unusually
sweet voice and the duet by Miss
Buckley and James Evans, tenor, was
especially pleasing. Kitty Glasco al
so displayed a pleasing and powerful
soprano voice, and Ted Farnum was
roundly applauded for his basso sing
ing. Efie Walburton in singing and
dancing numbers delighted the audi
ence and the toe dance by Marie Gov
onne was a commendable piece OF
work. The dancing and singing by the
girls in the company was full of PEP
and was given a good hand. Alto
gether the impression made was dis
tinctiy favorable. This afternoon and
tonight the attraction is Fun in 9
Barber Shop, but one ought not to &C
unless prepared to laugh.

ROOSEVELT THE ISSUE
IN PRIMARIES TODAY
Men Supporting the Colonel Are Op-
posed by Unpledged Delegates in
in Massachusetts.

BOSTON, April 25. - Party leaders
were generally agreed in the expecta-
tion that a light vote would be east III
the presidential primaries in Massa-
chusetts today.
Great effort to bring out the vote
had been made, however, in active cam
paigns Of the two sets Of candidates
seeking to be selected as delegates to
the Republican national convention.
Although the statutes prohibit the
mention OF any presidential prefer
enee on the ballot all of the candi-
dates in one group have declared their
intention of voting for Theodore
Roosevelt. Their rivals have insisted
that they would go to the Chicago
convention unpledged to any candidate
for President.
There were no contests in the Dem
ocratic and Prohibition parties. The
Democratic candidates are unani-
mousiy in favor of the denomination
Of President Wilson.
The unpledged deiegation-at-large is
made up of Senator Lodge, Gov. Me
Call, Senator Weeks and ex-senator
Crane while their Rooseveltian OPP
ponents are former Lieut. Gov. Graf
ton D. Cushing, Charles Sumner Bird
former Progressive party leader; Con
gresham Augustus p Gardner and
State Senator Robert NJ. Washburn.

ROOSEVELT LEAGUE
APPEALS TO 25O,OO0
and Money Pouring In,
Says New Organization in
New York City.

NEW YORK, April 24-The Roose-
welt Non-Partisan league which bud
ded forth at II Vanderbilt avenue
week ago, has passed beyond the mere
organization stage and is now up and
doing. About quarter of a million
letters have been sent out to ''con-
structive citizens with enrolment
blanks acquainting them with the
leagues activity for COL Roosevelt
and seeking their Endorsement and co.
operation.
Guy Emerson, the league s secretary
said the organization has been swamp
with applications and no small amount
of money in spite of its present lack of
active support from George ". Perkins
the Colonel himself or any rabid pre-
paredness people.
The league, said Mr. Emerson, is
waiting until its mushroom growth
shall reach such stage of develop
ment that will make it more fitting to
communicate with the most prominent
citizen Of Oyster Bay. According to
Mr.. Emerson, four prominent Demo
Gratis of this city and Of rational in
tiuence have promised the league that
they were for T. r.. but waited to an
nounce that fact until they are certain
that the Colonel is to get the nomina-
tion.
The letter sent ont follows in part
"This league is get together
movement of citizens of all political
parties who believe that the paramount
issues Of the coming Presidential cleo
tion are propositions on which all pat
riotie voters are in accord. The one
question is, Who is the man that as
President can be most trusted to handle
these momentous propositions with
certainty and success? A rapidly IN
creasing mass of citizens of all parties
believe that Theodore Roosevelt is the
| logical answer to that question. AS
our national problems become acute
the mind instinctively turns to him.

crisis that has faced America since

| lit is a time for President whose
convictions are above all party lines

are straight Americanism. Also it is
/ high time for a President who can be
trusted TO surround himself with strong
men as his counsellors and officials -

would have been easily obtainable

Is. The pay is good and the work
promises TO be steady, as the firm has
a good rating in the mercantile agen-
