THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES FIVE THEATRICAL NOTES.

Monday, Sept. 10, 190G.

Manager Towle has a real genuine musical treat in etore for his many patrons In the engagement of the famous operatic comedy success, "The Tenderfoot" which opens a one night tngagrement at the Towle opera house Wednesday, Sept. 12. "The Tenderfoot" contains more real musical compositions than several lornic operas and comedies combined. The book is by Richard Carle who tifueed his very best efforts into the Jnes while the bright, catchy, Jingling music is from the master hand of H. I JJeartz. No piece in years, has cored so triumphantly as "The Tenderfoot," The presenting1 company is xceptlonally large and most evenly balanced. The scenic environment is tntirely new, while the costuming has been given more than passing notice. Several of the gowns worn by both ths principals and chorus contingents being creations of art. Oacar L. Finnegan will again be e In the character of Professor Pettibone, Roberta Wilson, as a prima donna of note, as Marion, Louise Brackett as Sally. Grace Sloan as Patsy and Harry B. Wiliams as Hop Lee.

The late Charles L. Davis In "Alvln Joslyn" used to advertise ISO laughs In 180 minutes. Although but a few years have passed, the times have become far more rapid even in the line of laughter, and today Mr. Joe Spears, manager of Miss Mazie Trumbull, "who comes to the Towle opera house on Sunday, Sept. 9, in the new farcecomedy "Dad's Side Partner," advertises "One thousand laughs in a hundred, and fifty minutes." "In my new comedy," said Mr. Spears, "we absolutely do not give the audience time to stop laughing. We start them in with the first rise of the curtain and the fun keeps coming so fast and furious, that we never let up on them, excepting between the acts, until the final 13 reached. I believe that the theatre going public want to laugh. I am in the business. to give them a chance to do so, and if they ever had the opportunity, they certainly have it in the play I am producing this season." The Sousa Opera Company in the "March King's" latest, and universally conceded best, comic opera composition, "The Free Lance," has scored the most distinctive success at the Illinois theatre, Chicago, of tiny musical production heard in that city for years. The theatre has been crowded at every performance with enthusiastic audiences and the press are unanimous in the lavish praise of the stirring rhythmic melodies, the splendid singing and acting organization and the eumptuous fcurroundlng-s which have been furnished this brigrht, musical gem. The last' week of the engagement begins Sunday night, September 9th, the final performance being Saturday, September 15th. Following '.'The Free Lance" at the Illinois, Lillian Russell will be seen in her new departure as the etar of a new comedy written especially for her by Taul II. Potter, entitled "Barbara's Millions." Miss Russell's change from queen of comic opera to that of stellar feature of legitimate comedy and the first production of the new play by a dramatist of Mr. Potter's reputation, should serve as dual novelty, and an appetizing tnorceau to the thousands of theatre goers who have seen this beautiful Binder as the shining light of the most important musical attractions of late years. The company supporting Miss llusscll is composed entirely of prominent players, well-known from their successes in the most notable dramatic presentations of the highest class. They are: II. Iteeves Smith, Ferdinand Gottschalk, tl. Harrison Hunter, Ernest Elton, Walter Craven, Catherine Countiss, Mattie Ferguson and Irene Perry. Paul M. Potter, the author of "Barbara's Millions," has evolved many dramatic successes, notably that of "Trilby," one of the most successful dramatizations, and in his latest effort la said to have written a brilliant comedy, dealing with the brighter side of life, introducing dramatic incidents, ffeetlve situations, clever complications, novel scenic effects and replete with terse, bright epigrammatical dialogue; nd, among the many well-defined characters, has furnished Miss Russell with a role eminently fitted to Show the fair cantatrlce to as great advantage as a comedienne as she has ever heretofore appeared in musical productions. The engagement Is for two weeks and matinees Wednesday and Saturday. Seat and box sale will open Thursday, September 13th. "UMIEK SOITHEHX SKIES." One of the events of the season will be the return to our city of "Under Southern Skies' on Sunday. Sort. It5. at the Towle opera house. This fav orite auracuon is always sure or a felif house when visiting our city as Its merits are well and favorably known and appreciated here. That our judg ment is endorsed by the theatergoers of other cities is proven by the fact tnat i noer southern i-Kies is now In its sixth year upon the road and reports give the play the credit of ptaylngr to even larger houses this year than ever before in its history. The drama seems to possess a fascination that draws people to witness it again and agrwn. hence the reason of Its unbounded popularity, for it re talus its old admirers from season to season and is constantly making new ones. The management has made strenuous efforts to keep up the stan dard of excellence set by the produe tlon in previous seasons, tvery year something' new has been offered in the Hallowe en celebration to give novelty from season to season, and this year still tarries out that policy. The arrangement ot the dances and songs wilt be entirely different from those of last season. Also every bit of scenery used in the play is entirely new and new costumes have been provided. Work of Love. Love makes our heads go round, and we "wtime..i imagine it's the world.

PRESIDENT IN THE PULPIT j " - - i He Addresses the Congregation at the Celebration of the 200th Anniversary of Christ Episcopal Church. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sept. 10. President Roosevelt participated in the 200th anniversary celebration of Christ Epij-copal church, which he attends during his summer stay In Oyster Bay. The keynote of the president's speech, which occupied half an hour and concluded a series of four addresses, was that the wealth of the nation mut not be disregarded, but looked upon as the basis for Ppirijjal development, clean living and ciic virtues. Ills "text" was "But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your awn selves," from the first chapter of St. James. In the course of his address he said: "We cannot continue as a republic, we cannot rise to any true level of preatness, unless that greatness is based upon and conditioned by a high and brave type of spiritual life." Hie celebration was held In the church's edifice, which bears the date lor on its corner stone. Admission was by card and limited to the church membership and the clergy. It was followed by a collation in the parish hall, of which the president partook, and where he chatted freely with the visiting clergy and church members.

Garstka, rector of the Polish Roman Catholic church at Glassport, is under arrest for the shooting of Joe Kiayengki, one of his parishioners, who is in the hospital with a serious wound in the abdomen. The shooting was the culmination of a factional quarrel in the congregation of several months' standing. The pijfest refused to give up certain books containing church records, and the malcontents appointed a committee of six to secure them. When the committee called on Father Garstka he persisted in his refusal to deliver the books, and the committeemen tried to obtain them by force, and iu the scuffle that followed the priest shot Kiayenskl. GERMAN 'JOHNNY ON THE SPOT' Arrives in a Chinese Town Just in Time to Show the Boxers a Few Tricks. Shanghai, Sept. lO. A missionary writing under date of Aug. 18 from Sohping, iu the province of Shansi, states that a large party of "boxers'' entered Tsoyunhsien. The missionaries and nativeChristians fled to the yamen for shelter, and the "boxers," following, overawed the officials and got control of the city. A German lieutenant who was traveling in the country arrived opportunely, and rallied the small force of Chi nese soldiers, who killed the "boxer" leader and eleven others and made prisoners of forty-two, while the re mainder was dispersed. The mission aries were saved. A Chinese general with a force of troops subsequently appeared on the scene. FILIPINO STILL DREAMS Gomrt, a leader. Says England.

WoffienWho Bo The Cheerful, New-Old Philosophy Expounded by Florence Morse Kingsley, Who Practices What She Preaches :: :: ::

Girls, have you formed a "Miss rhilura'' club in your neighborhood and are you living up to it? You know the graceful, cheery story of "The Transfiguration of Miss rhilura" Miss rhilura, who acted on the teaching of a so called "new thought" lecturer that we can have every good thing we desire if we have perfect faith that It is coming to us. Miss Philura heard the lecture, and, bein a rather poor and neglected little spinster who wanted a whole lot of thmgs, she siinply asked the "Encircling Good" to give them to her, and then waited in childlike faith till they came, as they did. Mrs. Florence Morse Kingsley, the author of this and other stories equally charming, lives up to her own doctrine as fully as she makes Miss I'hilura do. She has absolute faith in the Encircling Good, which is ready for us if we only give it a chance to manifest. Mrs. Kingsley has a pretty home on Staten Island. Her husband, Rev. Charles R. Kingsley, Is pastor of a church there. She has four fine sons and a young lady daughter, most of them la college. Though she is the mother of grown children, Mrs. KingsUBS. FliOKEKCE MORSE KHCGSLET. ley herself looks no more than thirty years old, probably because she is so 1 sweet tempered and kind and polite, and is always so dead sure that the good she longs for is hers and will manifest itself to her. Another of her I cheeriest books is "The Resurrection of Miss Cynthia." A Remarkable Family of Women. Living on a New Jersey farm part of the year, the rest of it personally con ducting a horse and cattle ranch in the west, is a unique family of three gener ations of women. They are Mrs. Lane, the grandmother; Mrs. Caroline von Ohl, the mother, and her two daughters, Winnonah and Adele. All are experts . in the horse and cattle ranching busi ness, miss mnonnu Ton uni is a natural horse trainer. She can break and manage the worst "outlaw horse" that ever breathed out fire and ven geance from his nostrils. One of her feats was reducing to subjection old Destruction, famed throughout the west for his savagery and lawlessness. She declares she can do anything with a horse because she never feels afraid. Elizabeth K. Brown, Mine Owner. A city girl of Washington, who had led the usual life of a young lady and never shown any special business ability, went to visit a friend near Leadville, Colo. Like nearly every ten derfoot who goes to the mining regions the girl, Elizabeth K. Brown, was bad gered to buy some mining claims. Like most hapless tenderfeet, too, she took the bait. Unlike the common nm of them, however, she made good. Her claims, which were in the Red Cliff district and supposed by those who sold them to her to be worthless, turned out rich in gold, lead and silver. Then It was that Miss Brown displayed unexpected commercial talent. She organ ized a mining company. Alice D. Le Plongeon, Explorer. A graceful little lady who probably knows more about the isthmus of Panama and Central American peoples than any other person of her sex is Mine. Alice D. Le Plongeon, now of Brooklyn, For twelve years she and her husband. Dr. Augustus Le Plon geon, lived in the isthmus region and made explorations there. Among prehistoric ruins they unearthed relics and inscriptions proving beyond a doubt that the mysterious unknown race who wrought the massive Central American temples and statues were kindred to the people who built the pyramids of Egypt, probably contemporary with them. Mme. Le Plongeon especially ad mires the native Indian women of the peninsula of Yucatan: They are very bard working and devoted to domestic duties, dress always In white and are graceful and comely. They are re markably erect in carriage, owing to their habit of bearing burdens npon their heads, ilAECIA W. CAMPBELL.

Humor aid Philosophy By DUNCAN M. SMITH

PERT PARAGRAPHS. People who take small things trcg- j lij Ically are apt to take tragic things j Ji smally. jj Not a day passes that some man does I 3 not make an opportunity for you to be good to him at your expense. A little flirting, is a dangerous thing. A trained athlete is one that responds quickly to his wife's signal. Things are sometimes so bad that they couldn't be Letter. Hay fever is an example of a fash ionable thing being universally unbe coming. Tell all the truth that you can when you are talking to a pretty girl. Curiosity Is exciting just in propor tion to its being improper. There may be no money in being on the wrong side, but there Is plenty of excitement. Most any man can form an opinion, but it takes one of some strength of character to hold it. It Makes a Difference. Quite regardless of expenses. In a manner almost rash. Does the gray and festive drummer Here and yonder throw off cash, But it makes a heap of differenca In the total that is blown If the money he la spending Is the bo8ses' or his own. When a shy prospective buyer Isn't quite In trading: trim And the drummer spreads a dlner. Nothing is too good for htm. When the drummer isn't working. Take a peep behind the scenes. And perhaps you'll see him dining On a dish of pork and beans. Fat perfectos In his pocket When he has a deal to land Give the buyer the Impression That he always smokes that brand, But at home when he is resting. If the trade Is running slow. He may fill his face with stogies That they sell for three a throw. Mr. Hyde to Mr. Jekyll Hardly would be less a twin Than the drummer doing buslnesa To the drummer who Is In. When he's chasing after custom He cannot expenses trim, For the house Is easy money. And tha same looks good to him. Not Mates. .The lighthouse . ; standing: at the -V f gate To warn the ships that come in late May be, and is, j for all you know. Watched over by a heavyweight. Easy to Be Cheerful. Mr. Rockefeller assured the reporter who called on him that he is never pes simistic. That is one advantage of having all the money in the world. The possessor never need worry about his next meal or where he is going to get the money to make the next payment on the piano. It is hard to take a gloomy view of the outlook when one can touch a but ton and get whatever he wants. If a man is in a position to throw away a cigar he has just lit if it doesn't happen to taste good without feeling that he is taking bread out of the mouths of his babies he ought to be in a position to appreciate the beauties of a sunset. With the money in his pocket to pay anything from a $1,000 fine to the na tional debt there is no reason why one should not look on the future with con siderable complacency, to say the least. Furnishing a Substitute. "Run out and see me some day." "I will if you will meet me at the train In your automobile." "All right. Til do it" "You'll do it? When did yoa get an automobile?' "I haven't got one yet, but , would you know the difference if I brought along a wheelbarrow?" But It Couli. "Kind words can never die, solemn ly announced the cadaverous looking man with the startling beard. "Ain't no relation to your beard, then, pard," remarked the Irreverent individ ual in the audience. Heroic Treatment "If It is his turn why doesn't he go on the stage?" "He is waiting for his cue." "waiting for his cue, Indeed. Noth ing short of a club would wake that fellow tip. Not Congenial. "Now, the philosophy of love "Oh, come off." "But I say the philoso" You goose, love has no philosopliy, or it wouldn't be love.
