ELABORATE SCENES
IN LISTEN LESTER"
PRODUCTION
(Reviewed by D. L. s.


Listen Lester appeared at the
Park theatre last evening for the first
time since its tremendous successful
run on Broadway, but it was far from
being musical comedy such as was
played by the original company. 1t
lacked the punch and that gripping
musical pep and can be compared
with the original company in name
only.
Gus Shay as the hotel clerk was
pleaslngly entertaining with his jokes
and dancing maenuvers, and he, to-
gether with Joseph Mack as Lester
and Miss Florence De Barr, terpsico-
rean artist, carried the show barely
above the level of a burlesque type.
Members of the ensemble appeared
to be inexperienced to their parts but
this was partially due to the sudden
resignation of several of the chorus
girls during the past week,
The stage setting would not be ex-
pected to be much more elaborate
and added a trif1e more color to the
comedy had the scenery been slapped
together as in some previous per-
formances.
AS for the musical numbers. two
of the pieces, namely "Waiting," and
a valse proved to be catchy rythnaio
strains, and received sufficient ap-
plause. Miss Mary Ford, the tele-
phone operator possessed the sweet
singing voice and her song number

ceived

selves with glory by their interpre-
tation of this powerful melodrarna.
The play is one that will arouse
and hold the interest of. the most
apathetic audience In almost every
line there is thrill that keeps the
spectators on the qui vive every
minute wondering what is going to
feature of the story but it is not until
near the final curtain that the most
astute can tell who is he criminal
although nearly every one of the
characters is suspected.
Arthur Chatterdon and Ruth Amos,
who are seen in the principal roles
are both at their best and give an ex-
cellent account of themselves. Ar
thur Griffin, Jack McGrath, Miss
Eleanor Carlson, Edward Vail and
Jane Tarr do well in their parts and
assist materially in putting the pro-
duction over. Others in the company
come up to the necessary require
ments and altogether give a perform
ance that reflects credit upon them
and is sure to bring record attend
ances throughout the week. There
are two performances given daily
and reservations for seats should be
made by all who intend seeing this
wonderful play.
John G. Adolf, who directed
Georges Carpenter in 1.-The Wonder
Man. the Robertson-CoIe super
special, winch Will be shown at the
Empire theatre tonight for the first
time, is a firm believer in screen re-
| allsms much to the sorrow of Rob-
ert Barrat, who plays the heavy in
the picture, an American society
drama.
| During the shooting of the boxing
! scene both Carpenter and Barrat
went the limit in displaying their
| ring prowess-with Barrat on the
receiving end great part of the
! time. Barrat had been the screens
hea vvweieht champion.
Even the fastidicus sporting and
| dramatic critics, who witnessed the
| boxing bout admitted that Carpenter
| scored a clean cut knockout-and it
was not a movie knockout either

powers of his Office as they were exer-

Lin coin and other strong men of both
parties, while Senator Harding, If
elected, would exercise his pres1den-

control of party machinery.

the Republican platform is ambiguous

WORK TWO MONTHS IN YEAR
Colony of Spiders May Be Thought to Have an Easy Time, But
 They Don't.

In Hoboken, N. J., in a large survey ing instrument factory, there is a col ony of 200 workmen who never receive wages, yet who are perfectly content ed. They toll from early in the morn- ing until late at night, and their only recompense Is house fly or two apiece during the day. They are spi- ders--large. black, energetic spiders and they comprise probably the most indispensable part of the entire working force. It Is their duty to spin the thread that is used for cross hairs in surveying instruments. Dur ing the two months of the year when they work they produce thousands of yards of the almost invisible but in- valuable fiber.
 The spider colony works only during August and September. A strike among them may sound amusing to the reader, but 1t is really a serious matter. For the purpose of urging the little wOrkmen to their tasks four girls. trained to eXpertness in their unusual duties, are employed; it Is their task to coax the spiders to work whenever they show signs of reluc- tance.
 Coaxine the spiders really means ir- ritating them. The girl places one on her hand and pats or taps it until 1t jumps toward the ground, leaving one end of its thread behind. Before the spider can reach the ground the girl quickly attaches the thread to a wire whir!ing frame. which she revolves in her hands. As the spider struggles to reach the ground she continues to wind and in that way sometimes gets several hundred feet of thread from a single spider.
