EDDIE SAMLOW ONCEPLAYED
 SKETCH WITH MAY YOHE
Local Vaudeville Perform sr Says He Found Her a Very Talented and Charming Woman.

Eddie samlow. athlete, promoter and actor, one of New Britan's gifts to the vaudeville stage, breezed into the city yesterday all excited over the story from Boston anent the wounding of Captain John Shuts, husband of May Yohe. former ac- tress and famous as one-time owner of the Hope diamond.
 Judging from the stories from Boston, General Smuts, lying wound ed. fears that his wife may be ac- cused of having shot him and he has heroically declared that he will gay he shot himself if any attempt Is made to fasten the shooting upon her.
 But as far as friend Eddie Is con- cerned, he claims a personal and intimate acquaintance with the famous May Yohe. During the sea son of 19l2-1913, Samlow played a vaudeville sketch in which Miss Yohe was his partner, The sketch was entitled "A Day and West Point" and opened in the old Ham, merstein theater at Broadway and 42nd street, New York.
 Speaking of Miss Yohe, Samlow describes her as a very talented woman and while she never was credited with being a great actress or great singer, she had a tro- mendous drawing power on the stage, especially from the New York social set. This was due no doubt to the fact that she at one time was l intimately connected with British |lroyalty as the wife of Lord Francis | Hope. the wearer of the famous dia- mond and the favorite of Edward the seventh. Speaking Of the Hope |ldlamond, Samlow says that despite 1.-the popular superstition that it brought misfortunes to owners Miss Yohe herself never entertained any snperstition about it. Eddie himself i lis not so sure and thinks that maybe ! its alleged malicious influence has tainted his .lady-llck as, he says, things have not always been as bright as they could have been with him.
 Miss Yohe has personality. more than her share'of good looks, was well educated and refined, SamIow says. He adds that she spoke French, German and Spanish fu- ently and her poisc was perfect.
 Commenting upon published stories that Miss Yohe had more recently been engaged in work as d scrub- woman and janitress, Samlow says that is not so. The extent of her labors, he says, has been the the owning and managing of a series iof roadhouscs and inns.

VAUDEVILLE AGAIN
 AT THE PALACE
High Glass Variety Numbers for
 Thanksgiving Week

The Palace management an- nounees that beginning next week Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, a high grade of vaudeville will again be of- fered Palace patrons In addition to the big photoplays which will still continue to run at this popular the- ater. Owing to the popular request that vaudeville be a part of the regular program each week the management has made and complet- cd arrangements whereby high class acts will be given each week. This indeed will be an innovation and treat to Palace patrons as the pho toplays 10 be offered each week are absolutely the biggest Of the year and capable of holding their own as entertainment in any of the best mo- ton picture theaters. However the popular request for vaudeville with these features has prompted the management 10 grant the requests of patrons and give them the style of entertainment they like best. However the engagement wishes to state that the photoplay end of the entertainment will In no way be cut down as nothing but the very best of pictures are hooked at the Palace this season. In proof Of this the fol- lowing pictures are proof of this statement as coming photoplsys in- clude Richard Barthelrness in Glass mates" Rudolph Valentino In "A Sainted Devil" Barbara Ia Marr in "sandra," Zane Grey's "The Border Legion" Emerson Hough's North of 36," "Abraham Lincoln" and many others too numerous 10 men, ton. The vaudeville and rhotoplays will both be played by George r. Tourtelotte and his Wonder Orches- tra, who have made music one of the features of this theater
 The phrase "all-star cast" may well have been invented to describe the personnel of the First National production, Single Wives" which comes to the Palace theater on Sun day Mon. Tues. and Wed.
 The featured roles are played by 1 Corinne Griffith and Milton Sills, who are seen together on the screen for the first time. Miss Griffith plays the part of Betty Jordan. role said to be especially suited to her and one giving her excellent opportunity to depict the sort of roles that have made her famous.
 Milton Stills plays opposite Corinne Griffith in a role different from any thing he has heretofore essayed. In this picture he will be seen as a modern business man in contrast to his work in "The Sea Hawk"-tht husband who is settled In his home and business, who has left behind him some of that glamour and TO- nance that belong to youth and the days of courtship.

INDIAN BARITONE
 SINGS AT CAPITOL
Former Metropolitan Artist Tops
 Vaudeville Bill

on Monday. Tuesday and Wed. nesday of next week the Capitol has an extraordinary feature topping the Keith vaudeville bill in the presenta- ton Of Chicftan Caupolican, famous Indian baritone, and former Metro politan opera star. To say the least, Chieftan Caupolican is easily the best singer that Vaudeville can boast of today. The average person pie lures an Indian chief as Il burley redskin who wears blankets and feathers, lives on hrewater, and talks In grunts.' This is not so in the case of Chieftan Caupolican, as he is a much educated Indian. He most generally orders lemonade and when he does he uses English that is free from accent and as pure as any American can speak. He speaks French, German and Spanish equal ly well and is refined and polished. He possesses d rich baritone voice that will be a treat 10 lovers of good singing, and his offerings range from the popular songs of the day to the most difficult of classical selections. Other acts include The Trennel Trio in d comedy skit, Mile. Fifi;" Sandy Shaw. an excellent Scotch comedian; Fletcher, Ivy and Moran in "A Classic in Hokum," and James Mill ler's Revue, fashy song and dance offering that presents a cast of very fine entertainers.
 The Female" which will be shown on this bill, with Betty Compson, is story of a beautiful young Boer girl who knows no life outside the African veldt. She meets and falls in love with a handsome young Englshman far above her station in life. Men before always Hooked 10 her, but this one is diff fercnt. He is strangely cold and ig- norcs her, and his people, the "Englishers," insult Dala Miss Compson). The rest Of the picture is d gripping and unusually enter taning story of the carrying out ot this girls plans for revenge against all the utra-smart of the English colony in general.
 On Sunday night two excellent features will be offered, one pre-. senting Buck Jones in "The Desert Outlaw" and the other an all stal cast in What Shall I Do." There will be continuous shows daily.
