LAMBRIGHT SAYS LISTEN
TO ME" A GREAT SHOW

Writing in The Tampa Tribune,
Edwin Lambright has the following
hmighly favorable comment on "Lis-
ten Me-" which comes to the Howell
Wednesday,:
"LeComte and Flesher's Listen to
Me- musical extravaganza, opened
a two nights and matinee engage
ment at the Victory last night.
"The show is notable for the nov
city and beauty of its scenic investi-
ture and the variety and colorful at
Effectiveness of its costumes.
"The theme is one of transforma-
ton and reincarnation. From the
top of The Times building, New
York, in which Lucifer introduces
six Temptations Wine, Women,
Song, Gambling Tobacco and Rae
ing, the scene shifts to Satan's pal
ace, setting representing the torrid
neither regions, visibly heated by two
large furnaces, properly equipped
with heat guages. In the hectic at
appear such screen favo-
rites as 'Theda Bareback Mary
Picklefoot' and Douglas Greenbacks.'
By the use of a marvellous powder,

the entire company is Immediately
transported to the North pole, where
a really artistic snow and ice set
ting is disclosed and the devils and
she-devils of the first scene become
snowballs, Eskimos and Jack Frosts.
Again the powder is used and the au-
dience gazes upon fairyland of
sweets-the Land of the Ron-Bons,
in which the girls represent various
CONNECTIONS and the blackface come
dian has an excellent opportunity to
impersonate a chocolate drop. The
landyland melts into a brief inter-
Jude behind the scenes of the Ritz
theater' and then the finale comes
in 'Cupid's Postoffice,' with corps
of letter carriers who, if put on duty
in real life, would doubtless have
large percentage of the male popu-
lation always waiting for the mail
Through the varying scenes runs
a melange of music, dancing and di-
alogue, rendered by company of
comedians, singers and dancers
headed by Ross Robertson, Maude'
Baxter, Billy Moore, Billy Murphy,
Barbara Bronell, Leslie Jones and
Bessie Delmore. Billy Moore as
'Snpwball,' and Billy Murphy as
Stats furnish most of the comedy,
capably assisted by Bessie Delmore
as the girl from Kansas While it
is expecting a great deal to hope for
a laugh from such old-time gags as
the beauty is only skin deep-why
don't you skin yourself?' and I'm
the answer to a maiden's prayer
bromides, much of the comedy got
over in good shape and the audience
last night appeared to be pleased.
"The vocal numbers are tuneful,
Where Is the Girl for
Me?' and MY Bon Bon Girl and
there is some good dancing. The
chief credit for the show, however,
belongs to the designers of scenes
and costumes, for the performance is
very pleasing to the eye, and the
electrical effects are particularly
striking.
Tampa show-goers will have op-
to Listen to Me- again this |
afternoon and tonight"

d BUILD UP THE
VACANT SPACES.

All over the state home building
programs are bein gurged, and there
is great activity in many Florida
towns in this direction such as has
never been seen before. There is
much need for a similar program in
Palatka. There is in process of for
nation a building and loan associa-
ton to aid wage earners to build and
own their own homes, but unless
there is a disposition on the part of
some of the large landowners in Pa
latka it will be extremely difficult to
make the program success.
The tax books show large quanti-
ties of vacant property in the city,
unimproved lots on which no house
has stood in years, if ever. Real es-
tate men declare that the holders of
this property, in many instances, re-
fuse to set any price upon it, nor
will they consider erection of dwell
ings on them. In many instances
the owners are not residents of Pa
latka, but are content to swing on to
their property with low assessment
for taxes against it until such time
as all other property owners around
them have made improvements and
enhanced the value of their property.
I We can imagine no more reason
able proposition for the tax assessor
than to put full value assessment
against this property that it may pay
its proportionate part of the cost of
city government and improvements
at the same time it is enjoying the
benefits which will bring about en-
hancement in values.

BLOCKING THE STREETS.

For the last few months that block
of Reed street on which is located
the colored school has been blocked
during the school hour, necessitating
the detouring of all vehicular traf-
fic. Many complaints have been
lodged with The News, as no doubt,
there have been with the city admin
istration.
We agree with the compliments,
that someone has taken undue au-
thority in closing this important
throoughfare. 1t is not closed for
the white school, which is much clos
to it than is the colored school,
and there certainly is no good reason
why it should be closed to make
playground for the pupils, as there
is a great deal more room for play
around the colored school without in
terfering with traffic, or being inter-
fered with by traffic, than there is
around the Mellon school.
If traffic is a menace to the safety
of the pupils it would be much better
to construct fence around the play
ground and require all pupils to stay
in than it would to establish prece
dent in street obstruction that would
work untold inconvenience and hard
ships to the public generally.

With Other Editors


We note from The Palatka News
that the Gem City plans to have a
good baseball team this coming sum-
mer ana expects TO raise over $4,000
to finance it, with the assistance of
the gate receipts.
For the past two yearsa, Pafatka
has been invited to enter the Florida
State league, but hesitated on &C.
count of the expense. But if the
published budget is correct Palatka
will pay more for semi-pro ball with
irregular games of wavering inter-
est than professional baseball in the
Florida State league would have cost
them
Of course, it's Palatka's business,
but Daytona particularly would well
come that city into the league, and
when another season rolls around
we hope to see them there, with reg
ular games scheduled on the City
Island and at Palatka between the
contending teams of Daytona and
Palatka.
Baseball is a business and should
be conducted along business lines. In
baseball regular games
can seldom be scheduled, the umpir-
ing is often very poor, and there is
no penalty upon one team cancelling
a game with another team often
causing considerable loss to the
team which loses a home game by
that route.=DaYtona Journal.

Palatka should take considerable
pride in the splendid achievement of
raising a fund of approximately &c.

the continuance of the grammar

We hope that all who have pledged
their support will make good, that
the second and third payments of
subscriptions will be made without
any undue inconvenience to those
who may be commissioned to make
the collections. 1t is very often the
case that citizens become indiffer-
ent to pledges after the enthusiasm
of the moment is over, but our en-
thusiasm for good schools should
ever prevail.
