Burlesuue at Majestic

An important event In burlesque
will be the appearance of Joe Hur-
tig's 'Big Wonder Show with Geo.
p. Murphy at the Majestic theatre
today matinee and night. There has
been on organization presenting this
style of entertainment that has
made the rapid strides towards CIV
ing a high class big production, as
the above company. The cost of the
costumes, scenery and electrical ef-
fects has totaled up to an amount
equal to the cost of equipping four
ordinary burlesque companies. A
new two act burlesque entitled "a
Hot Tamale Hero" is a concoction of
hilarious episodes mingled together
with a song here and there, forming
a bright breezy entertainment. The
show as a whole is a r~ip-roaring
farce, introducing catchy songs,
medleys, and musical ensembles. A
finer lot of girls never strolled down
Broadway than the chorus, and the
gowns worn are projections of the
latest Partisan workmanship. A
novel and striking feature of the pro-
duction will be a travesty on David
Belasco's brilliant production, THE
Gold Diggers." which has been n
of the biggest comedy successes of
the past season. The travesty is en-
titled THE Dough Diggers' and was
especially written and staged by
Frank Dupree. Altogether Joe Hur-
tig's big Wonder Show" promises
to be the biggest thing in burlesque
this year.

CHANGE IN ATTITUDE
NOTICED IN GERMANY

BERLIN. Oct. 19-The change
which has taken place in the atti-
tude of Germans toward official per-
sonages was illustrated the other day
at Templehof Field where the Ger
man emperor formerly twice a year
reviewed the troops of the Berlin
garrison. President Ebert visited
the field a few days ago to watch
the filming of a motion picture but
instead of the adulation which used
to be accorded to the Emperor, the
crowd of 1000 costumed performers
failed to recognize the President, jos
tied him and gave him scant show at
the sandwich counter.
The German President wandered
about unaccompanied and stood for
a while beside the camera man,
while a scene was photographed.
Later he made his way against the
edge of a crowd witnessing a riot
scene" When the crowd was or
dered out of camera range, Herr
Ebert received no consideration
from the jostling spectators.
One of the crowd who recognized
him called attention to his presence,
but few gave him any notice.

Third Party Meeting, Says Laurence

CHICAGO. Ill, July 15.-More to be
\ pitied than scorned-that is, per-
haps, the best way to size up the
third party convention, its crude
methods, its awkward and clumsy ef-
forts to give expression to every con-
ceivable phase Of popular discomfort
Its severe denunciation Of the two
older parties is natural in such a
hodge podge" Of minority elements,
but the entire lack OF political sense
in the gathering or consciousness Of
team play by which alone a party can
make Roadway. is a sad commentary
on the liberalism which is supposed to
be finding an outlet here.
Dozens Of delegates talking at
once respect neither for the gaVel Of
the chairman nor the fact that a dele
gate may have the privilege Of speak
ing. intolerance of the vie Of a
delegate seemed contrary to the
wishes OF the masses-all this may
be defended on the ground that the
third party is suffering the throes Of
fancy, but il impressed many an on

to fight for reform is inside the two
old parties, after all, rather than out
