JOHNSON HERE
ON SATURDAY
The Auditorium Has Been En-
gagged by Republicans -
Band Hired for the Occasion

United States Senator Hiram w.
Johnson, of California, Republican
candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation, is again scheduled to speak
In this city, this time at an indoor
meeting to be held at o'clock Sat-
urday afternoon in the Auditorium.
Senator johnson was to have spoken
here about two weeks ago at an open
air meeting, but owing to some mis-
take on the part of the New York
headquarters it was impossible for
him to get to this city. He speaks
at no open-air meetings, owing 10 the
severe strain on his vocal organs.
Alderman William c. Wilson, one
of the members of the committee
son OF the Perth Amboy Republican
Club. stated this morning that the
spacious Auditorium In New Bruns-
wick avenue had been hired for the
occasion and band also engaged. 1t
had originally been planned to have
Senator William Borah here but Wig
orous efforts on the part of johnson
adherents here brought. about the
change whereby the candidate him
self will speak.
Provision will be made to accom-
modate 4,500 people Mt Saturday al
ternoon's meeting and those arrang-
ing for the meeting believe that a
record crowd will attend as this Will
be the first opportunity afforded
Perth Amboyans to hear one of the
1920 presidential candidates speak.
Owing to Senator Johnson's oratori-
cal ability and the fact that hum
dreds were turned away from the
meeting he addressed in New Bruns-
wick about two weeks ago, one or
the largest political meetings ever
held here is looked forward to.
Although the meeting is to be held
in the afternoon, 1t being impossible
to arrange for night meeting, those
who work only a half day on Satur-
day will be able to attend while IT IS
expected others will forsake their
work for two hours In order TO near
from Senator Johnson himself the
planks In the platform upon which
he Is running for the presidency.

EduCy ONeTdlIs at @to.OV
By The Associated Press
NEWARK. April 20:--Fancy over
alls at s43.50 Is the latest quotation
in the nations war on high priced
clothing, as advertised today by a
local merchant.
Eighty students of the Central high
school, members of the recently
formed overall club appeared today
in denim. An anti-overall league
also has been formed at the school
with a membership of 400 according
to Lee Horland, the organizer. OBJ
lection to wearing of overalls Is
based, he said. on the fact that the
fathers of the wearers are regular
wearers of the garments by reason
of their vocation and they are "ap-
prehensive that the fad would result
in increasing the price of overalls."

BEAUTIFUL EDNA GOODRICH
 STAR IN SLEEPING PARTNERS

The lady takes long nap and might have been seriously compromised had it not happened that contrite husband stayed out all night also. Anything can happen in Paris.
 But it would be unfair to tell more or the plot Playgoers who attend the mati- nee this afternoon or the performance to- night have a treat in store. Miss Good rich, as stated previously, has developed into real artist, but her beauty con tinues to be tremendous asset. Ana who would not have it so? Women might whisper over her gowns and her jewels but the male-or ticket-buying part of the audience-were satisfied just to look at Edna, without caring whether her clothes were made by Lady Duff Gordon or Paquin A word too. must be said TOT the staging of the play, which is done III rare good taste. Only one set is used but it is very handsome.
 Herman Cripps is the man in the case. Although on the stage most of the tune and for considerable intervals alone, MT Cripps acted with delightful realism the part of an experienced man of the world, quite carried away by his latest intrigue. That it turns out to be altogether harm less adds to the comical plight in which he finds himself. M. Tello Webb was equally good in the role of the husband who is forced to explain, rather than seek an explanation, and Charles Peyton pre- sented a stage servant who might be disturbing factor if he were not such a flawless servant and so well suited to the needs of his master.
 Two more performances of Sleeping Partners will be given. It is one of the smartest and best acted plays seen at the Jefferson in a long time.

The Fields sisters gave some clever impression of the great dan cers and another pair of talented per formers the Dolly sisters, made a big hit with their song number, 'The Brldai Night" and clever impersonations Ihe other specialties are exceptionally clever

The possibilities of French farce in the hands of skilled players, even though they numbered but four, were amply demon strated at the Jefferson theatre last night in Sleeping Partners.
 Edna Goodrch's extraordinary vivid type of beauty would make her strik- ing figure in any play, but when she revels histrionic ability ripened by time and experience and is supported by three expert farceurs, the result IS d most en- tertaining performance
 z Sleeping Partners is a typical French farce which only the French can write, it seems. skating on the thin ice of con- ventionality and occasionally ovetstep- ping the bounds set by more prudish Anglo -Saxons, yet doing it so deftly ana amusingly that even the most critical forget to be offended This play does not depend on the risque, however. It is ex- tremely clever from beginning to end, has originality, and instead of being mildly diverting, as many French farces are, particularly after being translated into English and adapted to the require ments of the American stage, is genuinely funny.
 At first some of the nuisances of the dialogue failed to awaken a response, but as the action progressed there was no escaping the fact that Sleeping Part ners'' was amusing and when the comedy was fully developed there were climaxes reached in a storm of laughter. lmagine the contretemps that might result If a fascinating married woman finally con sented to visit the apatments of young rake who is adept in such affairs ana stages the scene of his amour with the utmost regard to detail, including the scent, the flowers and the cushions Ar rived. after a short but almost heart breaking delay, the fair trifler with hre
