Hubbard Bros & Co.. Letter

New York, December 24-(Specia1-)
With the tender of rather more cotton
than expected. the December deliveries
were made and closed without excite
ment. Becauses of the expected revival
of the demand from spinners after the
new year, the market advanced under
limited transactions. Advices from Eu-
rope were thought to point toward an
extension of the voting power in Hun
gary and possibly in Germany, which
might lead to peace conferences during
the holidays.

Seat Sale Large for 'Everywoman"
Box office indications-the best basis
for predictions as to the popular success
of a theatrical offering-are that every
woman" Henry w. Savage's elaborate
production, will have a record breaking
engagement at the Jefferson today, matt
nee and night and matinee and night
tomorrow.
Theatregoers who have witnessed
"Everywoman' are in a great measure
responsible for the widespread knowl-
edge of its merits, which prevail Its
novelty, purpose, beauty and magnitude
are all sufficiently out of the ordinary
to explain the extensive word-of-mouth
advertisement that has been given it.
Attended by the glittering display OF
banquet halls and the gaieties of the
Great White Way, "Everywoman' tells
a story of simplicity and truth which
will keep an audience deeply Interested
Sumptuously staged. with a good, noisy
mob of white wayfarers, and all the
Gagged vices of the century, the fascinat-
ing appetites, wealth, greed, and ribald
10Y rider on the wings of shop, EVERY

ment, with nice things to hear lovely
things to see and a whole lot of little
sermons for the hayward and little en-
couragements for the good.

"Mary's Ankle" at the jefferson

"Mary's Ankle" at the Jefferson
One of the gayest entertainments of
the season is promised in A. H Woods
Forthcoming production of "Mary's
Ankle" which comes to the Jefferson
Thursday matinee and night.
'Mary's Ankle is the clever and origi-
nal farce by May Tully, which the New
York Globe compared favorably with
Turn to the Right and 1.-THE Boomer
ang." The story of the piece may be best
described as a complicated honeymoon.
The complications result from the send
ing of a fake wedding invitation by one
of three penniless young men, in order
to extract much needed wedding presents
from close-fisted relatives The young
lady who has been made an unconscious
partner in the design, eventually appears
in the person of bewitching young
this sketchy outline, which, according
to Miss Tully, is founded on real facts,
the author has evolved as sprightly and
entertaining a farce as New York has
seen in many months. The action of the
piece is rapid, the situations are surpris-
ing and original, and there is literally
laugh in every line of the dialogue. The
notable New York company includes
Aileen Poe, Bert Leigh, May Wallace,
James Hester, Edward Butler, Louise
Sanford, Donald Macleod, Gertrude
Mann, Frank A. Meehan and others.

At the Lyric
A Christmas week entertainment OIL
much excellence Is being presented at
the Lyric and theatregoers during holi-
day week will find the programme of
Keith vaudeville highly enjoyable. There
is pleasing mingling of song, comedy,
music and novelty on the programme,
and the offering is one of the best of
the season An added feature of the pro-
gramme is a showing of the pictures of
the Halifax disaster.
Rita Gould, extraordinary singer and
comedienne, is the piece de resistance
on the Christmas BILL and she is a
clever entertainer with plenty of pleas
ing personality. This young lady enter
tains in revue of songs and inciden-
tally wears many gorgeous and lavish
gowns. The big audiences liked Miss
Gould right from the start, and her
work was featured by repeated en-
ceres. Her last song number in trained
numbers of her repertoire, although her
song, why Did You Make Me Fall In
Love With Your" was excellent and well
received. Rita Gould is a recognized
vaudeville headliner and is extremely
talented
"a night in Honolulu" featuring Carl
Armstrong and Hilda Merkel, proved a
pleasing music and song vehicle, and the
company numbers among its cast the
possessor Of voices above the average
Armstrong and Miss Merkel are excel
lent entertainers, and they are sup
ported by a capable cast They both
work in blackface and as delineators
of negro characters are very good. This
piece abounds in tuneful music, clever
comedy and the chorus is well trained
''Tarzon,'' wonderful Chimpanzee
proved the sensation of the bill. 1t is
hard for the human mind to conceive
how it is possible to train a dumb ami
NAL to perform the feats that are per
formed by Tarzon. A human being
couldn't do the things he does any bet
ter He boxes, is trick BICYCLE rider

keep the audience in an uproar. The
work of Tarzon can be truly declared
wonderful.

The entertainment is excellent and the
act received much approval. Archer anc
Ward are pleasing in a musical act; they
were compelled to respond to many en-

enjoyable to the Christmas holiday
crowds. There will be a special Christ

Vital Statistics.

Commenting on the issue under the
direction of the census bureau Of a
volume of cancer statistics, the Medi.
cal Record remarks that "Americnn
statistics assume for the first time a
position available for research" Hith-
erto such statistics have been worth.
less because Of the imperfect way in
which they were prepared. This has
made all computations as to increased
or decreased prevalence Of cancer val.
ueless.
The Medical Record goes on to re-
gret that the registration area in
which vital statistics are kept Is not
larger. Not quite half the country is
included in this area, although tin.
cludes about five-eighths Of the total
population. The "Solid South" how.
ever, is stiA outside the registration
area-that is to say, 1t has no vital
statistics that are Of any value to
anybody, 1t is declared.

Strawberry Patch in Barrel.

A Los Angeles man whose back yard
was too small for growing strawberries
conceived clever idea, which is de-
scribed in Popular Mechanics. He
made strawberry patch out Of bur-
rel. Holes about II inches apart were
bored in rows in its sides. Several tin
cans with perforated bottoms were
piled one on the other in the center Of
the barrel and enough dirt was thrown
about them to fill the receptacle up to
the first row of holes.
After the dirt had settled sufficiently
strawberry vines were planted In the
holes and allowed to hang outside.
This process was repeated until the
barrel was full and vines had been set
In all the holes and on the top. AS the
soil was added, cans were piled up
through the center to provide an irri-
cation passageway. A hole was bored
in the side near the bottom to ullOw
water to drain OF.
