Enthusiastic Reception IL
Given Reunited Veterans
as They Open Shubers
Vaudeville at Central

The pleasing idiocies of Joe Weber
and Lew Fields inaugurated the sec
ond season Of Shubert vaudeville at
the Central Theater yesterday The
pleasures Of memory may have had a
good deal to do with the enthusiastic
reception of two comedians, who now
return as the same team that was
sundered ten years ago. Bob coats,
checked trousers, fiat derbies and all,
their apparition in the parts they left
SO long since was certainly n sentimen-
tai success; though not that alone, for
there are unassisted laughs in the old
boys yet.
"Reunited' Is revue written to
provide waysde camping places for
Weber and Fields. They did a lot Of
the old-tome stuff and it was curious
to observe how the German humor has
slipped out Of the funny focus. Weber
still builds up foolishness, laundering
with words, and getting pushed in the
pillow, just as in the old days when he
and Lew Fields were burking 'em in
burlesquc.
The structure of the Shubert vaude-
vile is the same as last year. There
is condensed musical comedy and a
succession of entertainment features
we'll diversified. Lynn Canton offered
her repertoire of popular songs.

Shot While Rehearsing
Defense Against Robber
Collector Seriously Wounded
by Overlooked Cartridge in
Pistol Used i'm TEST

Albert Vernon, twenty-four years
old, collector living at 80 Lott Street,
Brooklyn, was shot in tho abdomen
yesterday afternoon while rehearsing,
with follow collector, methods of
selfprotection against possible hold
ups. Norman Dcinstag, twenty two
years old, of 81 Livingston Street,
Brooklyn, who shot Vernon, was taken
to the Alexander Avenae nolice sta.
tion on technical charge Of felonious
assault
Deinstag had an automatic pistol in
his hand and Vernon revolver. Both
Of them frequently carried large sums
Of money collected for the New Era
Piano Company, 1856 Third Avenue,
the Bronx, and Deinstag obtained a
permit to carry a pistol. The weapons
were emptied, but Dein stag evidently
had forgotten that cartridge was left
in the chamber.
Vernon took the part Of the supposed
bandit in one of the storerooms of the
piano company and leveled his weapon
at Deinstag's head. The latter threw
aside the others arm, pressed the muz-
gle of the autom attic against Verno s
stomach and the cartridge exploded.
The injured man was taken to Lin
coin Ho"pital in serious condition.

Elsie Janis Is Superb
AS Headliner at Palace
Repeats Last Weeks Triumph;
Lopez and The Son Dodg-
ere Are TopvNotch Acts

The man who has TO provide dressing
room space for the performers at the
Palace is having his troubles TINS
week. The same is probably true Of
the fellow who makes up the pay roll.
The new bill, which is Il really first
class one, includes enough people TO
put on n Broadway revue.
There's one act that uses eleven
persons, an elaborate setting, an extra
drop. and punch bowl as big as the
fountain at Madison Square. There's
another number that requires ten per-
aona and particularly elaborate effects,
Both Of these are top-notchers, but
The honcrs of the show again go to the
act that conists Of nothing except a
girl in a billowy black frock. This is
Elsie Janis. As everybody, from the
box occupants to the 83-cent standees,
expected, Miss Janis repeated her
triumph of last week. Her imitation
of Fannie Brice is superb.
The telI-perspn number-thc Vincent
Lopez Bandseens TO have decided to
spend the rest of the year at the
Palace. The other big cast Offering,
"The Son Dodger," is pleasing. Joseph
Il. Howard and Ethelyn Clark sang
some Of Howard's old favorites, songs
that were sung on Broadway ten years
ago. The bill also included NIFTY and
Tillio, French dancers; Jim McLaugh-
lin and Blanche Evens, in "On lit

Makes Good Impression

Nerdi's "Aida" opened a new season
of opers in New York City last evening
at the Century Theater, whore tho San
Carlo Grand Opera Company began its
annual local engagement. The choice
of this theater, with it's luxurious ap-
pointments, proved felicitous change
from the drabness OF tho Manhattan
Opera House, which for several seasons
has housed Mr.. Gallo's forces
With characteristic shrewdness the
impresario chose q favorite opera for
the opening, and itB melodious strains
were welcome enough after the sum
mer months Of operatic sterility. The
orchestra, under the enthusiastic lead
ership Of Carlo Peroni, showed i'm
provement over previous seasons. New
costumes and fresh scenery enhanced
the charm of familiar scenes.
The east was we'll balanced with

New York opera goers; Stella DeMette,

roles of Amonasro, Ramfs and the
King. There was one newcomer. a
Spanish tenor, Amador de Famadas,

This season Mr.. Gallo has made q
feature of his ballet, and in the second
act there was due and generous dis-
play of auttering feminility centering
about the energetic person of Stasja
Ledowa, while the antics OF Amneris' $
slaves lent a pleasing note of the
grotesque.
Two of the minor parts, that of the
priestess in the temple scene, and the
messenger in tho opening scene, were
unusually we'll taken. The former was
cxcellently sung by Anita Klinova,
while in the latter Francesca Curci dis
played clearness of enunciation and
an appreciation OF the text foreign to
the average Egyptian messenger, which
lifted the part into momentary promi-
nence.
Altogether satisfactory evening
full Of promise for performances to
come. The audience was obviously
gratifieo and with flowers and applause
rewarded the singers.

''Town Scandals New Style
Burlesque, Is at CoIumbia,

Low comedy scenes, musical numbers
and dancing specialties are combined
effectively in the Irons and Clamare
production, "Town Scandals" which
began weeks engagement at the
Columbia Theater yesterday afternoon.
1t is distinctly burlesque of the newer
type, with eli the comedy and none of
the offensiveness of the old days.

comedian with much of the method Of

LADIES TO
THE front

Here's c suggestion Cor the ladies
of our home community, and we know
they can carry it through to compile
ton with great success.
There are less attractive towns than
ours, and then there are those that are
more attractive. The latter condi-
ton is due to the fact that their citi-
zens take exceptional pride in beautiz
flying their surroundings.
We can do the same.
1t would be a simple matter for the
citizens of this town, under the lead
ership of our charming women, to get
together and each agree to plant some
thing especially attractive around the
house or grounds this spring.
A few cents in seeds, little time
i'll digging and arranging and the work
would be done. The time consumed
need not be taken from our daily la
bors. The slight digging and arrang-
ing would be no more than beneficial
exercise after business hours, and the
cost is too Insignificant to consider.
When you walk through city park
you marvel at it's beauty, but it is no
more than human hands have made

When people insist upon saying un-
kind things of others it would be we'll
for them to contract the habit of talk
ing to themselves. Then they could
let off steam in large quantities with
out doing any material harm.
We are never quite accurate in our
judgment of others, because we are
not fully acquainted with the reasons
which actuate them.
Under such conditions. the person
who is slow to pass Judgment is most
to be commended. He may at times
be prone to condone faults, but even
that is preferable to passing censure
where there is a possibility that it may
not be deserved.
A close mouth is far better than an
open one.
Words once spoken may never be re-
called.

Millions of people pass by a school
or a church daily without giving either
a second thought. Yet both are a vi
tai necessity in the lives of the men
and women of this world.
The school prepares the child for its
place in the social and business world
Without the knowledge thus obtained
man or woman would be totally un-
fitted for the conflicts of life, handi-
capped from the cradle to the grave.
The church prepares the mind and
the heart for that greater life to which
our earthly career is only a prelude.

steps which lead upward to the realm
OF eternal glory, the final resting place

just as human hands could make this

Our wives and mother and sisters
and daughters are the ones to inaugu-

And the men? They would do the

Why not, ladies?
This paper will follow your lead

As THE
EDITOR
SEE IT

Farm products have dropped in
price to such an extent that farmers
are no longer able to hope for rea-
sonable profit from their labors under
existing conditions.
At the same time they are still pay
ing high prices for what they are fore
ed to buy.
AS a result of this unwarranted con-
dition farmers are now demanding
that the government fix fair mini
mum price on sugar, wheat, corn, cot
ton, and wool, in order that they may
be justified in tiiling their soil beyond
what is necessary for their own con-
sumption.
Manufacturers, transportation COM
panies and laboring classes are all or
ganized and are able to keep prices of
their products and labor up.
The farmer is but poorly organized,
hence he becomes the goat and holds
the bag.
The hardest working man of them
al is the most poorly paid.
There is justice in the demand

Our public school is the cradle of

Have you been over lately to see
how your children are progressing?
Have you paused long enough to let
the teachers know that you are inter-
ested in the good work they are do
ing toward the educational and moral
advancement of your boy or girl?
Have you given them any encourage
ment whatever?

Il the teacher displeases US iii any
way We are Quick to censure. Some
times we make a big noise.
But day after day our teachers are
doing good work-eNcellent work
and we take it simply as matter of
course, as something that is coming
to Us. We neglect to extend the COM
mendation that is their due.
We do not speak for the teachers,
but We feel that they would welcome
visits from the parents OF the COM
nlunity, or from any interested citizen.
Certainly such visits would be pleas
ing and encouraging to the children.
In few years the destinies of this
community will be in the hands of
these children. The greatest heritage
we can leave them, the one which will
best fit them for meeting the intri-
cate problems of life, is an adequate
education.
/ The public school is the greatest
asset Of our national life today. It
inculcates in the juvenile mind a re-
spect and veneration for all that is
upright, just and humane, and paved
the pathway of life with that know
ledge and understanding which is ne
cessary to the successful and honor
able career.
Recognition is little things to give,
but its potentialities are great, both
as regards the teacher and the pupil,
why not?
