GALLI-CURCI IS
POSSESSOR OF
NOTABLE VOICE

The CALI CAM concert at
the State Street Casino this evening
will be attended by a very large
number.
The wonderful soprano-coloratura
gave a concert at Woolsey hall, Yale
University, Tuesday evening, enthralI-
ing New Ravens music-loving public
as never before.
The following is an excerpt from a
long review by the Times-Leader of
that city:
From the lower register to thu
very top of her voice is of one quail
ity. There is no break-the entire
range is of equal beauty. She is per-
feet in everything. She has not only
the voice, but intelligence and a
musical taste; and a wonderful flow
ing legato, such as very few have
possessed, and such as is the main
basis for good singing. Her breath
control is perfect; she has great ia
cility on her highest notes! and she
is a wonderful coincidence.
Ga1li-Curci is a married woman.
Her husband is both Marquis and a
painter-the Marquis di Simemi,
whose family name of Curci she ad-
ded to the CALI that was her maiden
name to form the hyphenated entitu-
lature under which she appears. She
sang in Italy five years ago; in Spain,
and in South America before coming
to this country.
Seats remain on sale at Steinert's
until o'clock and those remaining
unsold may be secured at the Casino
box office after p. M.

PLAZA

In the business and political worlds
there occasionally appear men of I'M
usual ability and aggressiveness who
stop at nothing to get ahead. Unde-
tered by the scruples which hold
most men they aim for success for
themselves regardless of others. For
while they know no failure. Every
thing they touch seems to work for
them. And then at last, with appar-
emily every obstacle overcome, they
fail, tripped by that same belief in
their own omnipotence which has al
ready carried them far. Such men
offer a very interesting stuoy and It
is such a character that Frank Kee-
nan portrays in his first great Pathe
production LOADED Dice" one of the
many big attractions at the Plaza the
latter half of the week commencing
this afternoon.
A timely twist is gen to the story
by the fact that food profiteering
is the method used by the character
in the play to achieve his wealth.
The vaudeville program has many
attractive numbers with George Roll
and and company in their screaming
farce comedy. THE Vacuum Clean
ers" headlining the list. You all
know George Roland and you all know
about his great Vacuum Cleaning"
vehicle and you'll laugh just as heart
lily now as you did over a year ago.
Frazer, Buntz and Hardy, a trio of
unusually clever young fellows in a
singing and comedy diversion that
will be one of the big hits of the
bill have an important spot to fill.
George and Lily Garden, xylo-
phone specialists and the Smiletta
Sisters in a novel wire-walking of.
fering complete the vaudeville.
The Tell Tale Shirt a keystone
comedy completes the bill.

JEANETTE BOUT
WITH JOHNSON
II YEARS AGO

Jack johnson defeated Joe Jean
cite in fifteen rounds at Baltimore on
March IA, 1906, twelve years ago to-
day. The Hobpkon negro, made an
excellent showing in his bouts with
johnson, whose crown he longed to
possess when Johnson was sking of
the heavyweights. Although Jack de-
feated Joe in the Baltimore engage
ment, it was not by any wide margin.
In the previous year jeanette held
his own in six rounds with Johnson
at Philadelphia, and fought ten
round draw at Portland. After that
johnson never showed any particular
fondness for Jeanette, and they never
met again, although Joe issued re-
peated challenges.

EXPECT CAPACITY
CROWD IN BOSTON
All Box Seats Already Dis
posed OF.

BOSTON, Sept "A capacity crowd
for the first game of the worlds series
at Fenway Park on Monday was pre-
dicted by officials OF the Boston Ameri-
can League club to-day. All the 1888
box seats already are disposed OF and
the grand stand seats placed on sale to-
day went in a way to show that interest
in the series. II not feverish. was strong
In New England.
No such surging crowds of fans as
stormed the ticket Offices in previous
post-season contests here were seen to-
day but Secretary Graver said II looked
very much as II Fenway Parks seating
limit of 10000 would be reached.
Two years ago. when the Red Sox de-
feated Brooklyn for the world title. the
Boston games were played at Braves
Field. the home OF the local National
League club. Into this big park. con-
siderably larger than the American
League plant. s6,i17 were gathered for
the first game.
The game fight which the Red Sox
were forced TO make almost to the last
day OF the season has served to keep up
local interest In the team. and then there
are many fans who will turn out just
for the possibility OF seeing Babe Ruth
mako one Of his history making drives.

The reserved seats were snapped up be-
fore noon and when the crowd stormed
the park half an hour before the start
Of the game the scalpcrs got as high as
IS for a ticket costing $50.
All the while the .. tie ragged a
dozen airplanes scared about like idle
birds. One of them swooped down al
most on top of the grand stand in tho
sixth and the crowd gave the fiier an
ovation. During the innings the bird
men entertained the fans with a mock
battle 10000 feet. more or less. in the
air and finished the exhibition with a
tail spin.
Vaughn has a great fondness for
shooting over that fast third strike. He
worked it twice on Strunk and once on
Hooper. which was something OF a feat.
as the Red Sox lead of man has an eye
like that nervous insect we call the
earning needle.
Hooper has been most unfortunate so
far in this series in that almost every
time he has reached first some one has
come along with a tap which has forced
him somewhere. He was cut down in
the first inning Of the FIRST game and
twice to-day.
