ELKS' MINSTRELS MAKE A DECIDED HIT

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. The rejuvenation of Weber and Fields with their original company In New York recently and their overwhelming reception.had nothing on that accorded the "old favorites" by the local public in their appearances behind the Gennett footlights last evening in the Elks Minstrels. The S. R. O. sign was out before the curtain ran up, the bouse being packed from pit to dome and with an enthusiastic and appreciative audience. There is nothing so appealing theatrically as seeing people you know and meet walking down street every day masquerading on the stage. It possesses a certain Intimacy as delightful as it Is exciting and results in that sort of "family feeling" which radiates magnetism and is thrown back and forth between the performers and the stage until the line of clevage which exists between the professional and his auditors is dimmed if not quite obliterated. This was the case last evening and as each well known local celebrity stepped to the stage's fringe to do his particular stunt he was greeted with 'great applause." To continue the comparison Rich mond's Weber and Fields, Elmer Eggemeyer and Ramsey Poundstone were quite in their old-time form, Frank Bralfett looked as young and innocent as Lillian Russell and if Gus Pfafflln iuiui ltcj iviicu iru ato luia mj m Fay Templeton the complimentary odds are all the redundant Miss Templeton's way. Our local Willie Collier, Ed Wilson, was as gracefully sinuous as his metropolitan prototype, and Montgomery and Stone sink into insig nificance when measured up with Joe Pelts and Howard Kamp. When the curtain rang up at the op ening, the entire company, picturesque in their approved minstrel coBtumes, with a gorgeous setting, was given a tremendous welcome by their friends in the auditorium and the vivacity : shown in the beginning kept up a hot pace to the end. Every number was repeatedly en cored and responded to in professional fashion, the opening solo by Ed Wilson, "When you're in Town," being one of the hits of the evening, as was that of Myron Malsby in "Carolina Rag." Mr. Malsby developed surprising his trionic gifts as a comedian and his conversation" with S. A. Grubbs, the professional having the affair in charge, was extremely well done and funny. George Bayer was one of the favor ites, both in bis "talk" and his song 'Baboon Baby Dance," the latter being given with clever" bur lesquelng, and eliciting immense applause. The sentimental songs by Braffett and Otto Krone, "In all my Dreams," and "Garland of Old Fash ioned Roses", were given with professional eclat, both these well known vocalists being accorded tremendous greetings. And right here it might be inter polated that if Mr. Braffett had turned his activities toward theatrics he would have a national reputation for there are very few professional sing ers who have his vocal endowments. his baritone being beautiful in every register and possessing certain richnesses and sweetnesses of tone seldom heard.As some one said with reference to his voice "God gave it to him." The appearance of Mr. Walter Eggemeyer in, "Mind Yo Own BiznesB" was the signal for an "ovation," since Mr. Eggemeyer is one of the city's most accomplished amateur actors, his "stunt" being received tumultuously. Tremendous laughter greeted the en trance of Pelts and Kamp these two local comedians proving diverting to the last degree, Pelts, Indeed, being funny "au natural," and, with very little hlstrionio effort, producing the drollest effects. His "darky lamentation" called "When I Woke Up" was given repeated encores but was not surpassed by his "end-man" witticisms. Howard Kamp, a great social favor ite and a clever amateur thespian, brought down the bouse" with his so lo, "Don't Mention My Name" which was given with about a thousand de grees more effect than when heard here professionally some time since. Mr. Kamp possesses gifts as a comedian that make an appeal to the most hardened misanthrope and in combina

tion with the inimitable Pelts was as funny as anything possibly could be. The ensemble and orchestra numbers were excellent, the men singing together with remarkable smoothness when the few rehearsals are considered, their closing number, "Down in Sunny Honey Town," being eung with musical effect. ' The Olio was varied and diverting, opening with a clever "magic" act done by Ralph Husson with professional dexterity and the comedy element being supplied by Ray Lichtenfels, who as the assistant,, "gave away" each mysterious trick. The feats of the "strong men" were amazing beyond compare, since no one ever imagined that the gentlemanly Matthew Balfour and the innocent seeming Frank Borton were the tremendous acrobats they were discovered by the aid of a few skillfully adjusted wires, this part of the performance eliciting great laughter. Mark Pennell, George Bayer, Myron Malsby and Ed Wilson made another hit of the evening with their quartette numbers in which were heard the famous "bar-room chords." The evening ended with a burlesque of musical comedy called "Ebonyville Elks' Reception." in which Elmer Eggemeyer, Ramsey Poundstone. Frank Drultt who made a dignified and effective "host" Henry Liebhardt, Dr. F. A. Anderson. Albert Morel, Joe

Lamson and Bob Weidner were the principals and extraordinarily amusing, being enormously funny in their grotesque costuming and dancing. The affair was, altogether, a brilliant success and will delight another large audience this evening. RED MEN'S MEETING Members of the Hokendauqua Tribe of Red Men are asked to meet at the lodge rooms this evening at 7 o'clock to attend the funeral of Frank Moore, a member of the lodge. POLICE STATIONED IN FRONT OF BANKS (National News Association) NEW YORK, March 5. Police reserves were on duty today In front of the private banks of Moritz and Max Rosett, one at 114 Liberty and the other at 197 Stanton street, because rioting was feared as a result of the closing of the institutions. News of the closing was printed this morning and shortly after daybreak 500 angry depositors had gathered in front of each bank. Each bank has a number of agencies outside of this city, among them being offices at Youngstown, Wilkesbarre, Pa., and other Eastern points. False reports alleged to have been circulater by a former employe caused a run on the Perth Amboy agency which reacted upon the other banks with the effect that they were closed. INCENDIARY FIRE (National News Association) NEW YORK, March 5. The tenth incendiary fire kindled in the tenement at 130 West 134th street in the past 36 hours, was discovered early today, driving the occupants from their homes. The house was not crowded at the time for a series of fires yesterday had caused many families to move. The fire today was discovered on the fifth floor. Someone had soaked the floor of the hallway with oil, then set fire to it. A police guard has been stationed around the house.

RICHESON (National News Association) BOSTON, March 5 Governor Foss will visit the Charles street jail tomorrow and personally interview Clarence V. T. Richeson. The news of the governor's intended visit to the jail was conveyed to Sheriff Quinn today. The governor will hear from Richeson's own lips why he anticipates executive clemency. Plants Breaking Up an Island. The layman would scarcely associate great strength with so delicate and fragile a thing as maidenhair fern, yet if its roots have not sufficient room they will break the pot in which the plant grows. Blades of grass will force the curbstones between which they spring up out of their place, and in a single night a crop of small mushrooms has been known to lift a large stone. In deed, plants are on record as having broken the hardest roek. The island of Aldabra. to the northwest of Madagascar, Is becoming smaller through the action of the mangroves that grow along the foot of the cliffs. They eat their way Into the rock in all directions, and into the gaps thus formed the waves force their way. In time this will probably reduce the Island to pieces. London Telesraph.

KILLS THE OERM8I 4& It A RICHMOND LADY'S GRATITUDE Richmond, Ind., March 4, 1912. To The Public: For over 3 years I had suffered with a dull aching pain in my stomach, could not do any work at all, felt tired out all the time, my stomach would become filled with gas and press against my heart. My appetite was entirely gone and I could not sleep on my left sido at all on account of my heart. I had doctored all this time, but it seemed no one could get down to the cause of my trouble. I 'was so nervous that I had no control of myself at all and had given up all hopes of ever being helped or even cured. About 4 weeks ago I consulted Dr. Stewart, the specialist, of the Dr. Stewart Co., and after a most thorough examination he told me the exact cause of my trouble and I at once placed my case in his hands. It seemed the medicine worked like magic for all my old symptoms have entirely disappeared and I feel like a new woman today. I can recommend Dr. Stewart to any one for his truthfulness, honesty and ability and I feel that I owe my good health to his skillful treatment. I will be glad to answer any Inquiries either written or verbal as to my past or present condition. Respectfully MRS. MAMIE PARKER. 115 North 13th St This is only a sample of the many satisfied patients, that are crowding my office daily and who will be glad to tell you what I am doing for them.
