1.-THE Gay Lord Quex," Pinero's great
comedy, which comes to the Orpheum
Saturday even
John Drew ing, January 26,
Margaret Ellington direct from the
Forty ei ghth
Street Theater, New York City, with
John Drew and Margaret Ellington in
the stellar roles, as may be expected,
is filled with scintillating lines, such
as only Pinero can pen. Many of
these brilliant passages are given to
the artful Sophy Fullgarney, the mani
curist, played by Margaret Ellington.
Sophy is determined to trip the gay
Lord Quex, and the scene where she
manicures his nails, in the hope of en-
trapping him. is one of the best writ
ten in the Play. Flattery is the chief
weapon Sophy employs, and Quexs
vanity over his youthful appearing
middle-age, seems to give her the de-
sired opening. The whole scene is an
admirable example of verbal fencing,
the adroit lord parrying the subtle at
that every man who looks younger
that every man who lookes younger
than his years should be watched by
the police" and that "the man who is
younger than he ought to be is al
ways no better than he should be-"
These are thrUsts that almost cost the
wary QueX his presence of mind.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
POLES

For music lovers, the Poll vaudeville bill the last three days of this week holds unusual entertainment.
 Frank Dobson in "Getdng the Money presented by c. B. Maddock, is an example of good musical comedy and song. With a cast of thirteen girls beautifully gowned, every one of whom can dance and sing unusually well and a magnificent stage setting the act is one of the best seen here in some time. The comedians are right there with a great line of com edy which brings laugh after laugh from the large audiences which greet ed them at the first performances The music and lyrics have been specially written for the act and are unusually catchy. The theme of the play deals with a young professor who tries to get a rich and attractive widow to in vest her money in a new invention. To add to the comedy situations both the widow and the professor having in ad- vance sensed difficulty, appointed their chums to represent them. All ends well when the tangle is unraveled ana the aCI IS OIe WeI WOA LII GSS ing.
 Hearst Pathe News bring pictures of our boys in training at Pelham Bay. The rows and rows of our boys in sailor uniforms are magnificent sight. It is almost possible to recog- nize familiar faces they are so clearly shown. Pictures taken at the open ing game of the worlds series are also shown.
 Wallace Reid, starring in the new paramount artcraft picture entitled ''The Source" shows the life of a rich mans son and the effect of the love of a good woman, after he had been dragged to the depths by drink. The Doris Lester Trio adds to the attraction with their comedy sktt which opens showing the doorway of q bowling alley and ends in the living room of a young woman who has >' niece who is in love with her own lover, The sketch is funny and one l that is a laugh from the start to finish which occurs when the man concerned l learns that both of the women vii lose their fortunes if they marry.

tire week with two performances daily, the first at 2 o'clock in the af- ternoon and the second in the even ing. Despite the extra expense in- cured in bringing this wonderful pro duction to this city there will be no increase in prices, but those who in- tend seeing the most famous produc- tion of the wartime are advised to make their reservations in advance.
 Written on a subject that Is today interesting one hundred millions of people, The Man They Left Behind" is taking its place as the best of the seasons war dramas. There is not a shot fired during the entire three acts, there are no supers in uniform and there is no maudlin sentiment, but on the other hand there is some inside information of the workings of the secret service and a patriotic ap- peal that will grip the heart of every American man or woman. The Man They Left Behind Sis play de-
 lightfully different and if reports iron, other cities Is any criterion, Bridge porters will enjoy its every feature.

WEST END

One of the real old-fashioned types of villain appears in Vivian Martins new Paramount photoplay, "Un- claimed Goods" in the part of Gen tleman Joe" Slade, played by George MdDaniel, a "heavy" man of real tal- ent. The professional gambler of the Western mining country is always picturesque and "Gentleman Joe" is made one of the most vivid of these types in the hands of McDaniel. "Un- claimed Goods will be the feature of 'the bill at the West End theatre to- night.
 Fatty Arbuckle in Good Night, Nurse" two-reel Paramount comedy, will also be shown.

PLAZA

There Is charm to the Plaza theatre offering this week which will hold audiences upon the street waiting their chance to get within the doors. A charm which is engendered by combination of vaudeville, photoplay' comedy, pictorial and general reviews that are more than ordinarily inter- esting and instructing
 Among the prominent features or the Plaza variety program. is Frank Gaby, newcomer to this section. As an artist and ventriloquist this man apparently has no equal. Audiences yesterday stared in anlazement at his offering, his technique and admired his wide vocal range, when in conclu- sion he led-nothing-upo the stage, and carried conversation with a mythical child, many persons believed he was mystifying them by hidden person. Gaby has scored as has no other competitor during the past score of years in Bridgeport.
 Palfrey, Hall and Brown, clever trio with many novelties and special ties including bicycle riding, dancing and cigar-sWallowing, scored in their usual style. They have playe ! here many times in the past but always reappear with a freshness and attrac- tion which fingers and engenders a desire for more.
 On the screen, Florence Reed, with a large cast of featured and well known motion picture players, con- quers her audience in the mammoth photoplay success, ''1he Struggle Everlasting" It tells the tale of a moonshiner's daughter who is lured to the cities with no code of morals other than that of self-indulgence. The spectator is taken through the mountains, the cities, the courts and into the churches. The picture is one of great moral regeneration.
 Follett's monkeys is an attraction full stage act and shows simians in some brand new stunts.
 Crowley and Burke, vaudeville s sweetest singers, display rare har- mony, many new songs and snappy dialogue.
 Gaumont weekly takes. the specta- tor across America, into France with our army and shows every field of l sensational activity within range of a camera last week.

NEwsMAN LOSES HEARST CASE
Court Refuses to Enjoin Brooklyn
Park ommissioner.

In dissolving the temporary injunction
granted to John G.. Williamson. a Brook
Ign newsdalear. in his action against
Park Commissioner Hartman compelling
him TO show cause why he should not
be restrained from advertising for bids
for Williamson's stand in a way that the
dealer interpreted as limiting his right
to select the papers he should sell, JUS
tice Benedict said yesterday:
The plaintiff asserts that the form OF
advertisement will be carried into the
contract with the successful bidder and
that under such a contract the Com
missioner will have the power TO require
the newsdesler TO vend all the daily
newspapers, whereas he wishes TO ex-
clude the so-called Hearst papers from
the stands on account OF their alleged
seditious and pro-Germsn character.
The entire matter resolves itself into
a question of fact, or of mixed law and
facts. whether, as the plaintiff contends,
the so-called Hearst papers have been
or are carrying seditious and un-Amer-
lean articles, and. therefore that any
public official who countenanCes such ar
ticles may and should he enjoned from
allowing their sale. There is much of
implication. suggestion and innuendo in
the plaintiffs moving papers to that end,
but there is no allegation upon which a
moneys or abuse Of official discretion on
the part OF tho Park Commissioner can
be predicated,'

CITY AGAIN FIGHTS
N. Y.C.ON WEST SIDE
Papers Served on Central and
Mc.AdOO in Suit to Re-
cover Land.

Litigation over the right OF the New
York Central Railroad Company to oc-
cupy its tracks on the West side has
been started again. Corporation Coun-
sci Burr announced last nigh: that
Thursday he had served the papers on
the corporation and on William G. Nc
Adoo as Director General of Railroads.
This suit "a one In ejectmert for the
recovery OF the land and the land un-
der water" occupied by the tracks of the
company between Seventy-second street
and Spuyten Duyvil The company in
sists its possession is lawful. To a part
II claims absolute title by adverse pos
session and through deeds from the up
land owners. This contention is dis
puted by Mr. Burr who believes he can
get a favorable decision for the city.
1t is understood this Is the first step
In a plan to try to force some sort Of
settlement OF the entire West side prob
lem with the railroad. one OF the objeC-
lions made by opponents OF the Mitchell
plan FOR the removal of the tracks from
grade was that 1t conceded the title Of
the New York Central to too much prop
erty and arranged an exchange OF some
of It for other land owned by the city.
The Corporation Counsel said last night {:
For years the railroad company has
successfully resisted all attempts OF the
municipal authorities 20 compel it to
abate the menace OF tracks in the streets
of New York city. and it has refused to
agree with the city upon any fair and
equitable plan for the relocation Of al
teration of its tracks to make II possible
for the people TO sa fely cross the street
occupied by It's tracks on the Vest
Side"

ARMED. TRIO CAUGHT
BY ONE POLICEMAN
Believed to Haze Planned Big
Haul.

Patrolman Robert Rohrs of Traffic A
was at Broadway and Spring street at 9
o'clock last night when a tenant OF the
Prescott building at 52s Broadway hur-
ried up and said a man acting suspi-
ciously had been seen on the roof. As
Rohrs entered the building a young man
who afterward said he was Louis Klein.
S5s South Second street. Brooklyn, came
dashing out OF the doorway and Rohrs
seized him.
Klein. after hesitatipg, said he had
been looking for a wallet he had lost, and
was employed by a cotton merchant
on the fourth floor named Harris. Rohrs
went up stairs. and found there was no
light in the Harris ONCE, which was
filled with packing cases. As he opened
the door his eyes fell on an overcoat
spread out on top Of one of the boxes.
An automatic revolver was lying on the
coat. Rohrs drew his own gun and
stepped inside.
Two men who said they were Abraham
Harris, merchant. $40 Prospect, ave-
nue., The Bronx, and Abraham Finkle,
175 Madison street. Manhattan, we're
there. Rohrs says that Harris was reach
ing into his overcoat pocket, where a
loaded automatic was afterward found.
when he ordered all three men to throw
up their hands He kept them backed
up against n wall until Detectives Gil
kinson and Cavone arrived from the
Macdougal street station in response to
a telephone call sent by the man who
had first given the alarm.
The three we're locked up. charged
with burglary. and an additional charge
OF violating the Sullivan law was made
against Harris. Harris rented the room
Ave days ago. and as the offices OF the
silk concerns in the building would be
vacant from Saturday noon to Monday
morning the police believe he had de-
signs on the safes.
