HUGE ARTILLERY TRACTOR.

Built according to Specifications for a
powerful tractor to move the heaviest
mobile artillery. which were received by
a Springfield concern from the French

new tractor recently picked up, without
much difficulty, a huge truck on which
was loaded an immense boiler Weighing
more than 900 pounds, the truck itself
weighing more than eight tons. The

SAVAGE'S MUSIC MELODRAMA,
 COMING OCTOBER 16
Mizzi Hajos of Spring Maid'' Fame Is Premier in Notable Attraction
 Booked for Tuesday Week

Pom Pom" Henry V. Savage's new musical melodrama, that melted the me- tropolis and the few other cities it has been taken to to alternately sing and chuckle after hearing as tho fun and charm of 1t were remembered was com posed and put together and played by names that guarantee show worth while in the minds of the theatregoers of today.
 It Is much In itself that the Mizzi Hatos Of The Spring Maid and "Sari is Pom Pom's' leading figure now under the more easily praised name of Mitizi, but beyond this it's book was written by Anne Caldwell, who write Chin Chin" and other works of brilliance, the musi- cal score Is from Hugo Felix. the French composer who gave Madame Sherry and other operettas to the world; Joseph Urban, so eagerly sought to design won derful stage settings for great attrac- tions that range from grand opera to the 'Follies," made some of his most applauded stage backgrounds for Pom Pom," and the veteran George Marion who has arranged more of the great suc- cesses of the past than has any other producer, staged the piece. and finally and most conclusively to one who follows stage matters closely, 'Pom-Pom' bears the Henry V. Savage trademark which assures 9 company of excellence and size, an unusual orchestra, and attention to the thousand details which have made the Savage name take the place of a standard of excellence in the theatrical world "Pom-Ponl'' will be the attrac- t1on at the Jefferson Tuesday October 16.

FIELD ASSEMBLIES
 BEST FUNMAKERS
 OF MINSTRELSY
Lasses White, Johnny Healy and Other Stars to Appear Here Three
 Performances Next Week

This country has always been aocred- ited with having a sense os humor all its own which gives 1t balance, not only in it's everyday affairs, but in it's most exciting times and events. and the fun and laughter equipment of the Al G. Field Greater Minstrels programme this season follows the national spirit of tho day in being thoroughly American. The American type of stage fun had it's first development on the minstrel stage. and today wherever it Is found, no matter what the form of entertainment, 1t is representative of this origin. The roster of fun makers which the dean of min. strelsy has assembled in his company this season Is a guarantee that the comedy will be of the native brand throughout Conspicuous among these laughter pro- vokers Is Billy Beard, The Party from the South.'' Not only have his comicali- ties an individual cleverness that makes them irresistible, but he has a singing voice of exceptional attractiveness. Pos sessing these two qualities to a rare de- gree, each serve the other in way that makes his renditions stage gems
 M Another exponent of American fun in the medium of negro dialect, whose achievements put him in the front rank, Is "Lasses White" who has a biz part on the Field programme this season. His style Is much after the manner of the late Honey Boy, George Evans. The tall Charles Vermont starts gales of laughter by his eccentric dance numbers, and sup clements these with equally fetching songs. Of course there Is also on the programme Johnny Healy, the classic old-time negro parson. Each year Healy gives new angle of his famous imper- sonation, which audiences always eager ly look forward to, for his work Is of g type which Is fast disappearing, because 1t is based on real understanding of the old-fashioned colored preacher who flourished under conditions which exist no longer. The very entrance of Healy upon the stage starts his audience laugh ing, and they keep it up as he gives them, bit by bit, his rich study of the "pahson."

COMING ATTRACTIONS

SeIwyn and company will present their enormously successful farce hit of last season, 'Fair and Warmer by Avery Hopwood, for a limited engage ment here this season. Fair and Warmer during the year of its run in New York won considerable fame by making more money than within the Law" had done, though the veillier melodrama had up till then held the New York record for a money maker. The seats for "Fair and Warmer" were often on sale 10 and 12 weeks in ad- vance, and the crowds who saw 1t were so voluble in their praise of 1t that 1t was never necessary during the New York run of the piece to do any ad- vertising. The priceless word-of-mouth advertising carried the fame of Fair and Warmer" all over the country before the end of it's first six months.
 It will be presented here with an ideal cast of farceurs.
 From the Jefferson theatre comes the announcement of the singing of contracts that assures local theatregoers of the opportunity of seeing this season Klaw & Erlanger's latest and most important musical comedy production, Miss Spring time,' which was the one musical comedy to run throughout the past theatrical year in New York.

 crook plays were dead.

 years magazine editors were saying the

 Shortly afterward I picked up an olc story of mine called Not in Type which had been published about four years pre- vious The story gave me the basic idea 1 for Cheating Cheaters. wrote an ac' and a half of the play and read it to sev- eral managers. But the dread or the l crook idea persisted and I became SC infected with the fear myself that packed 1t away with the moth balls

HILARIOUS FARCE,
 NOTHING BUT TIE
 TRUTH, ' MONDAY
Jefferson Books Fields Minstrels for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
 ''Pom-Po Coming

The hilarious farce that will be seen at the Jefferson Monday night had better been christened Nothing But Laughter. but James Montgomery, having given his play name that most f1ttingly covers the theme of 1t. he was possibly 8 better judge than the New York critics, who sat in judgment upon 1t during its year of joyius success at the Longacre thea Ire. It was the consensus of critical opinion that it was the best farce seen in years.
 It Is a play built upon simple idea of it's hero speaking nothing but the absolute truth for stated period. He bets friend s1o.ooo he can do 1t, and boldly tackle truth to win the monsy. For a very short time the task is placidly easy, but truth routs out old man trouble, and-then things begin to happen. Trouble doesn't seem very large and ag- gressive, when he first pokes his nose into the noble resolve of our hero, but he grows rapidly and soon we see, our deal CT in truth, disrupting the domestic re- lations of his partner; in fact trouble works overtime, and regulations that have been unblemished are smirched Sit- nations that are absurd and compli- cAted pile up, all credited to truth and the result of the wager to foster and cherish that great virtue from the lips of the man who has espoused the cause of truth, to win a wager. It Is a novel idea and so well has it been worked out that an audience IS kept i'll the throes of laughter at the seemingly Impossible to-untangle snarl into which hero has involved all those with whom he comes in contact. It is 8 clean, bright farce of well drawn characters, each one of which we are promised will have the in- depreciation of the very best farceurs. It is a play offered for laughing purposes only, and comes to us with the record of a year of continuous success in the me- tropolis. We should, therefore, not hesi- tate to accept the big towns verdict that it is funny and enjoyable.
