The Time, the Place and the Girl." "The Time, the Place and the Girl," be it understood la not a musical comedy, but a "comedy with music." That ia to say, that its dramatic values would be sufficient to provide an evening's entertainment for a mental adult, even if there were no songs tj enliven the proceedings. It is legitimate comedy with a sane plot and situations and llgltimately enhanced by two or three delightful reproduction of unusual and amusing character types. The most interesting characters in the piece are those of "Happy Johnny Hicks" and Molly Kelly, played by Geo. Ebner and Miss Amanda Hendricks, the latter a rcent recruit from the legitimate stage. Hicks is a bright, good-hearted young gambler, lull of sentiment, Molly Kelly is a trained nurse, sophisticated, but not unpleasantly so, with a perfect mastery of the gentle art of repartee. These two meet in a Virginia mountain "rest

At the Murray. There lived near Nashua. N. H., several years ago a farmer who drove to town every Saturday to buy provisions for the following week, and whose funny face and keen wit so impressed

themselves upon the young mind of

Mr. Wm. J. Wood that afterwards

when entering the theatrical profession he decided to make rural characters a special study and you will find the humorous New Hampshire farmer portrayed true to life by Mr. Woods in the character of Zachariah Obediah Watkins in "Country Cousins." Miss Edith Earl and Company, with Eva Prout, "the posket edition of Elsio Janis" is also featured this week in the, singing novelty, "The Last Rehearsal." In presenting this singing novelty, something new in the conception of a singing act has been evolved and taken its place above the average singing number on a vaudeville program. Pour people comprise the act, all beau tlful girls, with splendid voices and richly costumed. Among the musical numbers introduced are: "The Garden of Roses," "You've got Me Going Kid." "My Southern Rose," "A Simple Maiden." 'Rosebud." I've Lost My Gal," etc. The two Blue Jays are the musical comedian. They appear as genuine hobos" and their make up Is so extremely funny that they make a hit on their first entrance on the stage'. Kessely's Marionettes is an act introducing a complete miniature theater with miniature actors and all th necessary equipments. Upwards of twenty-five characters are introduced and their lifelike performance Is truly marvelous.

Richmond will be the offering at the Gennett theater next week, opening Monday evening. The booking has been done by the Western Vaudeville Managers' Association of the Majestic Theater, Chicago, and some of the high priced acts have been induced to come here solely because it breaks their jump from Chicago into Cincinnati, where they are to appear the following week. The bill includes among others, Happy Jack Gardner, one of the funniest comedians on the vaudeville stage, who tells some of the latest and best stories; The Four Muellers, in a great hoop rolling act, Gardner and Revere in a comedy sketch that can's be excelled: Girdellas Dogs, one of the finest animal acts seen in Richmond; Mary Ann Brown the English Comedienne; The Great Moore, In the trunk

Mystery and some of the latest sub

jects in picture display.

"The Prince of Tonight." Henry Woodruff, the latest of legiti

mate stars to go into musical comedy !

is appearing in "The Prince of Tonight," a musical fantasy by Adams, Hough and Howard. Like all the Singer productions, everything that money can buy has been used in making this the most attractive play sent out by this well-known firm, but the scenic artist, costumer and electrician have tried to outdo all previous efforts. Over sixty people are carried, including the famous beauty chorus. "The Girl From U. S. A." The new musical comedy drama. "The Girl from U. S. A.," which is due at the Gennett next Saturday, matinee and night, Nov. 27, carries the auditor nearly 'round the world, as its scenes are laid in France, Turkey and China. It has an intense love story, a catcy type of comedy, and delightful musical numbers that leave no place for ennui all through the three acts. A capable company of singers and players, and a bevy of pretty chorus girls in ravishing costumes, who have been receiving flattering press comments in other places visited, will give the piece the first performance here. The musical numbers are especially mentioned as affording keen pleasure.

"California Girls." The California Girls Burlesquers, which will appear at the Phillips next Tuesday night, are sure to bring a full house. The company is composed of thirty people, a score of pretty and shapely girls, four principals and a chorus of sixteen, and ten comedians. The first act. "Girls of the U. S. A.," with special scenery, handsome costumes, bright, catchy music and good, clean, wholesome comedy by the comedians always scores a hit. The second act, "The King of Kokomo," goes with a scream. Individual hits are made by the Bell Sisters," who are petite and pretty and extremely clever dancers. Baldwin and Wallace, comedy sketch artists and Trueheart, Dillon and Burke, knock-about comedy trio, keeps the audience laughing all the time.

T. P. A. Notes

BY T. C. H.

Next Saturday night will be regular meeting night and a full attendance is desired. We trust no member will over-eat himself next Thursday. From the reputation already established members of Post C are extremely long on the eating habit. It is reported, but not authoritatively, that Mr. Louis T. LaBeamie, National secretary, has tendered his resignation to the national board, and the same has been accepted to be effective Jan. 1. li10. Frank Rainbow, of the Iowa division, hs been selected to fill the vacancy. James Hill's recent sermon on economy and how to practice it, might be seriously studied by the board of directors of Post C. Or the board might refer to the Order of Tight-Wads which we have in our midst, as to their method of making a dime do service for a greater denomination of money. Eli Morris, father of Will Morris, died early last Sunday morning, after a brief illness. Mr. Morris, while of a retiring disposition, was well known to

a large number of the members of Post C. A committee of the Post, consisting of J. B. Hegger M. E. Shreeves and T. C. Harrington, represented the Post and conveyed to tha family the sympathy of the entire membership body. It is to be hoped that our beloved and honored friends Lebo and Shreeves

will be in no way implicated in the sugar scandal now before the public. We have at last heard from our own dear little Harry Thomas and have located him somewhere between heaven and Louisville, Ky. Married life seems to have put him so much to the bad that he has forgotten all the old friends that helped to make him the wonder that he really is. We have received a complet report from the detective force, which was started after him, and the same can be seen on the bulletin board in the Post rooms. Ed Thatcher never gets enough chicken. He Is now preparing for his Thanksgiving day meal and the same promises to be one grand, large fear.t. Yesterday Ed purchased a four pound rooster, feathers and all, and now has the bird securely chained to the floor of his basement. He has taken this precaution because of the fact that "Daddy" Kramer is awaiting a "bid" to dinner any time. Ed would like every member of the Post to bring in all the bones, scraps and old tin cans they have, as he desires to make this four pounds rooster grow to turkey proportions by next Thursday. Mr. Pecar of Madison visited the club rooms last night. The following from one of our exchanges is of much interest to all T. P. A. members: It has been known for some time by the active members of the Travelers' Protective association that irregularities existed in the affairs of the organization. With a view of knowing tho exac conditions before making ' the facts public to the membership, an examination of the accounts of the association has been in progress and ths.

publication in the St. Louis papers of a demand on the bonding company for

a shortage In the accounts, supposed to

De the result of the stealing of the pri

vate bookkeeper of the association

gives publicity to the matter from national headquarters, which relieves any doubt as to the outcome of the investigation. It will be remembered by our

readers that Henschew, the chief an

countant in the National office committed suicide during the month of August. An investigation of the accounts was in progress at that time. This investigation has been completed, covering a period of several years and a shortage of several thousand dollars has been discovered. While it is true that the association is supposed to be protected against loss by indemnity bonds passed upon by the association attorney, the developments bring to light the lamentable fact of utter incompetency on the part of the national secretary, under whose very nose these peculations have been going on. The facts more thoroughly and conclusively prove the contention of the members of the Indiana divisiou that another secretary is an absolut? necessity for our organization. In view of the fact that Mr. LaBeaume as the secretary-treasurer of our organization, and whose duties as laid down by the constitution make him the responsible head of the association, bas allowed these conditions to exist, and has failed to discover anything wrong; in view of the fact that he has either not discovered or has, through Incompetency or negligence, failed to see what lay members, without the privilege of thorough access to the books of the association, can ferret out: in view of the fact that his last annual report contained such glaring discrepancies that lay members with only a condensed financial

report before them would discover facts which he, as National secretary was blind to, we would ask if he will attempt to continue to hold the office or will he place his resignation in the hands of the national board of directors and gracefully retire to privat.3 life for the good and welfare of the organization? Mr. LaBeaume has been secretary of our association since its prganization. He has seen It grow from its infancy, but with the widening of its scope of influence and the rapid strides forward he has failed to keep up with the procession. In fact the association has outgrown Mr. LaBeaume just as successfully as a Lirswlnes enterprise outgrows the older heads and demands younger and more progressive blood for its success. No business or organization can stand still. It must, either go forward fix backward. Realizing this fact, the true friends of the Travelers' Protective Association, foreseeing the needs of the future, have for several years advocated a change at the head of our organization. Missouri and the friends of Mr. LaBeaume have made a most bitter and personal fight for his retention. Three times have they almost lost their fight against those desiring to place the T.

P. A. on a more advanced plane and as a last resor his followers have resorted to sentiment and personalities to turn the tide which seemed to be flowing strongly against them. And by a most narrow margin they were able to elect him. And now comes the disclosures which conclusively prove that the convention of the "insurgents" and "disorgacizers" as the an-ti-LaBeaume delegates were always called by the Missouri crowd. The indications point very strongly to the fact that Mr. LaBeaume has allowed Henschew full sway in the national office allowed him to handlthe cash and thus be able to "lift" out such accounts as the "necessities' from time to time demanded. He (LaBeaume) has not guarded he interests of the association as a secretary-treasurer should naturally be expected to do. He has had his eyes closed to things he should have seen and discovered. Henschew has taken himself from the crowded throng. Will Mr. LaBeaume remove himself as a block in the way of progress of our association ? Indiana gained twenty-eight in membership during the last month. A total of 37G new members was received Into the national organization

during the month of October. Claims paid during the month of November amounted to ?30,78G.-H. Nebraska carried off the honors during he month of November in landing new members, securing 71.

Shorter Workday In Stop. According to a plan now developing, the Internationa Association of Machinists expects to obtain the eight hour day within the next eighteen months. The scale now calls for nine hours. The plan as outlined consists In taking twenty minutes off each workday for the first sir months, repeating the process for the second and third six month periods, the result being a reduction of the full hour at the end of eighteen months. Such plan Is now in operation on the Pacific coast It is believed that the scheme will act as a preventive of strikes in that employers will haTe an opportunity to adjust by degrees their business to meet the conditions brought about by the shortened w rking days.

FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS. New York Labor Unions Commsndod For Tfcoir Work. most ImpsrtMt feature of thm convention of tfeo New Xerk State CTorklngmen's federatioo. held recently at Troy, was the labor union health conference in connection with the convention. To the observer of social conditions the conference was significant, says the Survey. The audience was com

posed of delegates of labor onions ;

from all parts of the state, each rep- i resenting a more or less influential j group, with power to make recommendations to their separate bodies and effect definite action. If the interest displayed throughout the entire conference may be taken as Indicative of anything it is that labor is awakening to a realization of the very close relation whioh the health problem bears to its own work. The opening remarks of the evening session were made by John A. Kingsbury, assistant secretary of the State Charities Aid association. He referred to the work of the association and dwelt upon the part which the labor unions are taking In tbe campaign for the prevention ef tuberculosis. In the course of the past three years, be said, as a result ef spending about $30,000 the association has been able to bring about the expenditure of approximately $1,500,000 for hospitals, dispensaries, visiting nnrses. day camps ad other enterprises whose objects are to prevent the spread of tuberculosis. Assuming that these organizations already established will be continued for a period of ten years, one can readily see that that expenditure will run up Into millions. Referring to the work of the labor unions in this direction, he said that of all the organizations in the state none has done so much.

EQUAL WAGE FOR WOMEN. Trades Union Congress Records Its Belief In the Principle. One of the most Interesting features of the trades union congress recently held at Ipswich. England, was the acceptance of a resolution affirming a belief in the principle of equal wages for equal work for women and men. It was Introduced by Miss Macarthur. the secretary of the Woman's Trade Union league, who made an Impassioned appeal to the congress and called on women to organize to put a stop to the unfair competition, detrimental to men and women. "The question is." said Miss Macarthur, referring to the fact that her proposal was moved as an alternative to the-brass, workers' demand taat.wo-
