THEATRICAL CALENDAR. GENNETT. Thursday, April 8. "The Holy City." 8aturday, April 10 "Paid in Full." Week of April 12 North Bros. Tuesday, April 20 "A Broken Idol." Wednesday, April 21 "The Great Divide." NEW PHILLIPS. All Week High Class Vaudeville. "Paid in Full." Playgoers of discriminating tastes will welcome the coming to this city of Wagenhals and Kemper's production of Eugene Walters' great play of contemporaneous life in America, "Paid" in Full," which, at the Astor Theater, New York, has proved itself the sensation of the past two seasons. A special cast gave the play for five months at the Grand Opera House, Chicago, and on April 10, Wagenhals and Kemper will present It at the Gennett theater. In every particular, it is promised, the performance will be equal to the New York company and production, "'Paid in Full" has been described as the greatest play produced in fifteen years and in it there is a forceful, virile treatment of a great moral issue In our national life. It has stamped the author as a man of originality, daring and forcefulness and the play Is destined to live for years. . rx ; The Holy City. Salome, the daughter of Herodias, the unlawful wife of King Herod, of Galilee, - 1b one of the central characters in "The Holy City," the tremendously successful religious drama by Clarence Bennett, which is to be presented at the Gennett Theater on Thursday, April 8. This is the same Salome who was the central figure in the play of that name which was written, by Oscar Wilde and which was later" set to music by Richard Strauss. The one presentation of this opera at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York Mast season and the tremendous sensation which it provoked are still fresh in the minds of the general public v. Wflde's Salome was a frank voluntary with no redeeming sense cf shame, a being who wallowed in the depths of a degeneracy and who kissed the severed head of John, the Baptist, in an unhealthy and bestial moment of wild sensation. The Salome presented in "The Holy City" is a passionate creature whose love for Warius, a young Roman citizen, forms the central thread of the plot. North Bros. The famous North Bros., Comedians, will open a week engagement at the Gennett theater, Monday April 12, and will present for their opening play, "John Jasper's Wife" a four act English comedy drama. This : famous plcy was written by Mr. Frank Harvey, and was produced in New York last season. The play will be produced Monday night as It was In New York as the entire production was purchased by the North Bros. This is the first time this play has been seen at popular prices and in the - various cities where this company has played its success has, been of the most positive order. The leading parts will be in the ha ii do cf Harry Chapin North and Miss Virginia Goodwin. Ladies will be admitted free Monday night. "The Great Divide." The mere announcement that "The Great Divide" has been booked for one night at the Gennetf theater on April St, will probably create an unprecedented "run" on the box office as everyone who keeps in touch with things theatrical, will welcome a chance to see this phenomenally successful dramatic offering. No play ever written by an American dramatist has won such widely-heralded approbation by the foremost dramatic reviewers. Many critics have called it the "long awaited great American play," all theatrical writers have agreed that it marks an epoch in American literature, and it has never yet had an adverse criticism as ft forceful, brilliant, and thoroughly American drama. "The Great Divide" comes; here under the personal direction of' Henry Miller, who presented the piece most of last season and all .of the year before In New York, first st the Princess theater and Daly's theatre, and later at the Academy of Music, for over (X0 performances to capacity business. The production, including the entire scenic equipment. Will be given here precisely the same as during the metropolitan engagement The New Phillips. It is a sure proposition that the Hay wards Pistel company Is among the best of the companies playing vaudeville at the present time. Harry Hayward Is the bright star of this company and he Is backed by three other stars who understand exactly bow to scintillate. This troupe of the best out Is staging "The King of fclackwells," a side-splitting comedy. Shadowgraph pictures are what Alpnzo Cox and his company are handV to tks FMUlsa audience.-; Their.
stunt is more original than anything of its nature ever put on here. Stella Rinefaart is the real dancer from Realstown-on-the-Hudson, or somewhere up there in the Dutch state. She has something very refreshing.
At The Arcade. "The Sttlement Workers" is a vivid portrayal of the New York underworld. It takes us into the very heart of the slums and slum conditions as they exist, defying the pen of the mightiest writers to portray. ' The incarnation of a love story is necessary to every play, and in this one the story is so well worked out, that one imagines oneself in the midst of the "Bowery," with its many secular and exciting incidents. Mr. Evans continues to hold his enviable reputation as a singer by his hard and conscientious endeavor to please. TWO FALL III DUEL OVER DEMON BUM Ohio Dry Leader Shoots Down Assailants in Street Battle. FIRE FROM BEHIND POLES ROWDIES ATTACK SCRAPPY DENTIST AND BOTH ARE DROPPED WHILE HE ESCAPED WITHOUT A SCRATCH. Wellsvllle, O., April 3. A tragic climax to the bitter struggle between the wet and dry forces of this place came Sunday, when, in a duel, with the opponents using telegraph pole3 as barricades, two men were shot down and one of them probably fatally hurt. The participants in the battle were Dr. Hamlin Barnes, a dentist and a leader of the drys, and William Zellars and Ben Davidson, who had been drinking on a houseboat on the Ohio river. Zellars and Davidson were wounded by the dentist, who escaped without a scratch, and it is stated that Davidson may not recover. Dr. Barnes, who is a member of thi Good Citizens' league and a strong enemy of the liquor element, recently has been threatened with death, and in view of this menace has been permitted to carry a gun. Tries to Avoid a Clash. The shooting occurred late in the afternoon on the Cincinnati and Pittsburg railroad tracks near the Ohio, and not far from the floating bootlegging establishment. Barnes, who takes exercise by walking every Sunday, inadvertently strolled near the bailiwick of his foes. While passing he was accosted by Zellars and Davidson. The dentis. knowing the antipathy the men held for him, tried to get away and told them he wanted no trouble. "Let me pass," he said, and stepping around them he walked rapidly dowu the track. The men followed, jeering. Then they picked up stones from the track and hurled them at him. Barnes, dodging the missiles, took refuge behind a telegraph pole. Then, it is alleged, Zellars drew a pistol and fired two shots. Neither took effect. First Shot Fells Enemy. Barnes, the instant his enemy opened tire, whipped out his revolver and retaliated. His first shot hit Zellars iu the hip and Zellars fell, dropping his weapon as he sank. .Davidson, seeing his companion down, grabbed the abandoned gun, himself leaped behind a telegraph pole and let go with the gun as fast as ne could load and pull the trigger. In the meantime Barnes's weapon had not been idle, two bullets having lodged themselves in the pole behind which Davidson stood. Then Davidson in trying to get a better aim, leaned out from bis place of safety, a little too far, and Barnes, taking advantage of the opportunity, fired hastily and "Struck his opponent in tha neck. That ended the battle. The dentist, seeing neither man stir after falling, believed he had killed them both. He hastened without further investigation to the city hall, where he gave himself up to the police. Later he was released under $1,000 bond.

If friends come upon a suddea w earl eg with travel to a ettlsen's house and they be loath to wait for curious preparations and dressings of fresh meat let the servant run to the water asde, where all things that can be desired are at hand." This particular place ef public cookery apparently did an Indoor as wen as an outdoor trade, for Fltastephen further described It aa being used both day and night by "multitudes of soldiers or other strangers who refresh themselves to their eontent on roast goose, the fowl of Africa and the rare gadwlt of Ionia."

IT WAS UCEIISE DAY Several Saloon Keepers Asked The Commissioners for Renewal.
CONSIDER HENSLEY CASE Emmett Hensley, a local saloon keeper, made an application today for a liquor license. This application has been taken under consideration by the commissioners. Last December Hensley was convicted of selling liquor on Sundays, but since then, it is claimed by his friends, he has been operating an orderly place. This was liquor license day with the board of commissioners and their room was crowded by applicants. Linus P. Meredith, county sheriff, made his debut as a character witness. He testified as to the moral character of Clarence Jessup and his fitness to be entrusted with the sale of Intoxicating liquors. Jessup's saloon is one of the most law abiding in the city and the sheriff displayed his friendship for the proprietor by testifying. David Bromley was granted a license to open a new saloon on Fort Wayne avenue. Before awarding the license the commissioners asked Bromley for an explanation of the ownership of the place, the board having heard a brewery was behind the business. Licenses were granted Louis Knopf, Clarence Jessup. George Kline, Daniel Fanning, and Thomas Graves of Cambridge City. Hie Usual Way.
