In fact, all who like to see both children and grown-ups have a good time, should take In the Gentry Brothers Show and Circus, which Is being welcomed In Philadelphia this week for the first time In 12 years. It's "some" show, as abovo stated. The troupe Includes nearly 300 persons, 93 ponies and horses that are Just too Bweet for words," as one woman In tho audlenco remarked, and DO trick dogs, not to forget the big elephants that act almost human, and monkeys, donkeys, lions and other animals and "stunts" galore. The music Is a featuro In Itself. When the band starts, people's feet Just can't seem to "behave." There aro few, If any. Intermissions, and everything seems to dance. The big white horses with tho smooth. Inviting round backB, walk nnd Cakewalk, trot and fox trot, and tho ma-Jestlc-looklng "Araby" ridden by Bessie Hodshlre seems to even have mastered tho catchy and famous twinkle step. Even the dogs waltz, and a little vest-pocket-size pig looks cute enough to hug. Babe, Queen and Pinto, tho three pet elephants, have already made a decided "hit.' in ract, they mado several hits. They play baseball and are known as the heaviest hitters In any league. After de lighting the crowd with their antics they give a musical entertainment that Is a "scream." They are ushered into the tent with lively music, carrying real live trunks In their trunks, which they awing to danco music time. The "Jitney" concert Is a "circus." It Is given by monkeys and dogs. Besides the usual monkey Are brigade and patrol wagon, the monkeys enact a little barber shop scene. The barber and customer get into an argument and both proceed to peel their coats and square off. They are separated by one of the attendants and finally shake hands In realistic fashion. The Avalon Troupe has a long list of acrobatic and halr-ralslng stunts. Ono of the many features of the show Is "nalelgh" the North Carolina mule. A cash prize Is offered to any one who can ride him. Those who attempt It usually fclto the dust He has the reputation of being- one of the hardest kickers of his Wnd. and he lives up to his reputation. The pet ponies evidently read the news papers, as they believe In an up-to-date army. They perform a catchy military drill, which would delight any garrison. Romeo, one of the ponies, appears as romantic as his name. He proceeds to collapse during the drill, and assistance Is summoned In the form of a monkey doctor. The monkey administers first aid to the Injured, feels his patients's pulse, but when he prescribes rigid treatment Borneo forgets hla ailment and canters oft with a flying kick of his heels. After the performance the children are Invited to ride the elephants and ponies, Needless to say, the Invitation does not go unheeded, and many youngsters are Inclined to think the elephant ride- has the see-saw beaten a mile.

"Certainly, sir; certainly, sir." e'm ed Professor Potter. "How could you doubt It?" "There Is young Clayton, you know suggested Canler. "He has been hanging about for months," , "Tut-tut, Mr. Canler: unle-"1"1,7' "Unless you see (It to request that Jane and I be married at once," said Canler, slowly and distinctly. "I have already suggested to Jan i that It would be desirable." said , feasor Porter, sadly, "for we can no longer af ford to keep up this house and llvo as her associations demanu. "What was her reply?" asked Canler.

The tenants have always made a living from It, and been able to send Jane a trlllo beside each year. "She Is planning on our going up there the first of the week. Philander and Mr. Clayton have already gone to get tilings In readiness for us." "Clayton has gone thero?" exclaimed Canler. visibly chagrlnod. "Why was not I told? I would gladly have gono and seen that ovcry comfort was pro vided." "Jane feels that wo nre already too much In your debt, Mr. Canler,' said Professor Porter. Cantor was about to reVly when the sound of footsteps came from the hall without, nnd Jane Porter entered the room. ... , , "Oh, I beg your pardon:" sno excianii I. naimlnc on the threshold. "I thought cd. Dauslng on the threshold you wero alone, papa." "I don't know that Jane cares for mm. but befllde his tltlo they say he has In herited a very considerable estate from his father, and It might not be strange, If he finally won her, unless" and Can ler paused. . , "It Is only I. Jane," said Canler, who had risen, "won't you come In and Join tho famllv group? We were Just speak ing of you." "Thank you," said Jano Porter, enter ing nnd taking tho chair Canler placed for her. "I only wanted to tell papa that Tobey Is coming down from tho collcgo tomurrow to pack his books. I want you to he sure, papa, to Indlcato all that you can do without until fall. PIcnso don t carry this entire library to Wisconsin, as you would havo carried It to Africa, If I had not put my foot down." "Was Tobey hero?" asked Professor Porter. . "Yes, I Just left him. Ho and Esmor nldn urn exchanging religious experiences on tho back porch now." "Tut tut, I must seo him at once! cried tho professor. "Kxcuse mo Just it moment, children," and tho old man hastened from the room. An soon as he was out of earshot Can ler turned to Jane Porter. "See here, Jane," ho said bluntly. "How long Is this thing going on like this? "You haven't refused to marry me, but you haven't promised, cither. "I want to get the license tomorrow, so that wp can bo married quietly before you leave for Wisconsin. I don't care for any fuss or feathers, and I'm Buro you don't, either." Tho girl turned cold, but she held her head bravely. "Your father wishes It, you know," added Canler. "Yes, I know." She spoke scarcely above a whisper. "Do you realize that you aro buying me, Mr. Canler?" sho said finally, and In a cold, level voice. "Buying mo for a fow paltry dollars7 Of course you do, IJobert Canler, and tho hope of Just such a con tingency was In your mind when you loaned papa the money for that hair brained escapade, which but for a most mysterious circumstance would have been surprisingly successful. "But you, Mr. Canler, would have been the most surprised. You had no Idea that tho venture would succeed. You are too good a business man for that. And ou are too good a business man to loan money for burled treasure seeking, or to loan money without security unless you had some special object In view. ' lou knew that without security you had a greater hold on the honor of the Porters than with It. You knew tho ono best way to forco mo to marry you, with out seeming to force me. "You have never mentioned tho loan. In any other man I should havo thought that the prompting of a magnanimous and noble character. But you are deep, Mr. Robert Canler. I know you better than you think I know you. "I shall certainly marry you If there la no other way, but let us understand each other once and for all." While she spoke Robert Canler had alternately flushed and paled, and when she ceased speaking he arose, and with a cynical smile upon his strong face, Bald: "You surprise me, Jane. I thought you had more self-control more pride, "Of course you aro right I am buy ing you, and I knew that you knew It, but I thought you would prefer to pre tend that It was otherwise. I should have thought your self-respect and your Porter pride would have shrunk from admitting, even to yourself, that you were a bought woman. "But have It your own way, dear girl," he added lightly. "I am going to have you, and that Is all tnat Interests m "Without a word the girl turned and left the room. Jane Porter was not married before she left with her father and Esmeralda for her little Wisconsin farm, and as she coldly bid Robert Canler goodby as her train pulled out, he called to her that he would Join them in a week or two. At their destination they wero met by Clayton and Mr. Philander In a huge touring car belonging to the former, and quickly whirled away through the dense northern woods toward the little farm which the girl had not "visited before since childhood. The farmhouse, which stood on a little elevation some hundred yards from the tenant house, had undergone a complete transformation during the three weeks that Clayton and Mr. Philander had been there. The former had Imported a email army of carpenters and plasterers, plumbers and painters from a distant city, and What had been but a dilapidated shell when they reached It was now a cosy little two-story house filled with evtry modern convenience procurable In bo short a time. "Why, Mr. Clayton, what have you doner cried Jane Fbrter, her iheart sinking within her as she realized the Crobable slie of the expenditure that had een made, "3-sh," cautioned Clayton. "Don't let your father guess. It you don't tell him he will never notice, and I simply eouldn't think of him living in the ter rible squalor and sordidness whjeh Mr. Philander and I found. It was so little when I would do so much, Jane. For his sake, please, never mention it" "But you know thut we oan't repay you," cried the girl. "Why do you want to put me under such terrible obliga tions?" "Don't, Jane," said Clayton sadly "if It had been Just you, believe me, I wouldn't have done it, for I knew from the start that it would wly hurt me la your eye, but I eouldn't tUok j that dear oM man living la lite hole We found her. "Won't you please believe that I did iut for him and give ma that Utile crumb of pleasure at taut?" "J do believe you, Mr Clayton," ai4 EVENING T.EDflEB-PHILADELPHlA, TUESDAY, JUNE IB. 1915; the girl, "because I know you nro big enough and generous enough to have done It Just for him and, oh Cecil, I wish Jt might repay you as you deserve as you would wish." "Why can't you, Jane?" "Because I love another." "Canler?" "No." "But you are going to marry him. He told me as much before I left Baltimore." Tho girl winced., "I do not love him," she said, almost proudlv. "Is It because of the money, Jane?" She nodded. "Then am I bo much less desirable than Canler? I have meney enough, and far more, for ovcry neeV he said bitterly. "I do not love you, Cecil," she said, "but I respect you. If I must disgrace myself by such a bargain with any man, I prefer that It be one I alrctdy despise. I should loatho the man to whom I sold myself without love, whotmoever he might be. "You will be haprler," she concluded, "alone with my respect nnd friendship, than with mo and my contempt." Ho did not press tho matter further, but If ever a man had murder In hla heart it was William Cecil Clayton, Lord Clroy stoke, when, a week later, Robert Canler drew up before tho farmhouse lu his purring slx-cyllnder. A week passed, a tense, uneventful, but uncomfortablo week for all thfc Inmates of tho little Wisconsin farmhouse. Canler was Insistent that Jano marry him at once. At length she gave In from sheer loath ing of tho continued nnd hateful Im portuning. It was agreed that on tho morrow Canler was to drive to town nnd bring back the license and n minister. Clayton hnd wonted to leave as soon as tho plan was announced, but the girl's tired, hopeless look kept him. Ho could not desert her. Something might happen yet, he tried to console himself by thinking. And in his heart ho knew that It would require but a tiny spark to turn his hatred for Canler Into the blood lust of the killer. Karly the next morning Canler set out for town In tho east nmoko could be seen lying low over tho forest, for a fire had been raging for a week not far from them, but tho wind still lay in tho west nnd no danger threatened them. About noon Jnno Porter started off for a wnlk. She would not let Clayton ac company her. She wanted to bo alone, sho said, and ho respected her wishes. In the house Professor Porter and Mr. Philander wero Immersed in an absorbing discussion of some weighty scientific problem. Ksmcrtilda dozed In the kit chen, nnd Clayton, heavy-eyed after a sleepless night, threw himself down upon tho couch In tho living room and soon dropped Into a fitful slumber. To the cast the black smoke clouds roso higher Into the heavens. Suddenly they eddied, and then commenced to drift rapidly toward tho west. On and on they came. Tho inmates of tho tenant house were gone, for It was market day, nnd none thero was to see tho rapid approach of the llery de mon. Soon the flames had spanned tho road to tho south and cut oft Canler s return. A little fluctuation of the wind now car ried the path of the forest flro to the north, then blew back and the flames nearly stood still as though held In lcasn by somo master hand. Suddenly, out of the northeast, a great black car came careening down the road. With a Jolt It stopped before the cot tage, and black-haired giant leaped out to run up on to the porch. Without n pause he rushed Into the house. On the couch lay Clayton. Tho man started In FUrprlsc, but with u bound was at tho side of the sleeping man. Shaking him roughly by tho shouldei, he cried: "My God, Clayton, nre you all mad here? Don't you know you are nearly surrounded by Arc? Where Is Miss Porter? Clayton sprang to hln feet. He did not recognize the man, but he understood the words and was upon the veranda In a bound. "Scott!" he cried, and then, dashing back Into the house, "Jnnel Jane! where aro you?" In an Instant Esmeralda, Professor Porter and Mr. Phllnnder had Joined tho iwo men. "Where Is Miss Jane?" cried Clayton, seizing Esmeralda by tho shoulders and shaking her roughly. "Oh, Gaberelle, Marse" Clayton, she done gone for a walk." "Hasn't she come back yet7" and, without waiting for a reply, Clayton dashed out Into the yard, followed by the others. "Which way did she go?" cried the black-haired giant of Esmeralda. "Down dat road," cried tho frightened black, pointing toward the south, where a mighty wall of roaring flames shut out the view. "Put these people In the other car," tshouted the stranger to Clayton. "I saw one ns I drove up and get them out of here by the north road. "Leave my car hero. If I find Miss Porter we shall need It. If I don't, no one will need It Do as I say," as Claytou hesitated, and then they saw the lithe figure bound away across the clearing toward the northwest where the forest still stood, untouched by flame. In each rose the unaccountable feeling that a great responsibility had been raised from their shoulders: a kind of imniicit confidence In the power of the stranger to save Jane Porter If she could be saved. "Who was that?" asked Professor Por ter. "I do not know," replied Clayton. "He called me by name and he knew Jane, for he asked for her. And he called Es meralda by name," "There was something moat startllngly familiar about him," exclaimed Mr. Phil ander, "and yet, bless me, I know I never saw him before." "Tut-tut!" cr(ed Professor Porter. "Moat remarkable! Who could It have been, and why do r feel that Jane Is safe now that he has set out In search of her?y "I can't tell you, professor," said Clay ton soberly, "but I know I have the same uncanny feeling." "But, come," he cried, "we must get out of here ourselves or we shall be shut off," and the party hastened toward Clayton's machine. When Jane Porter turned to retrace her steps homeward she was alarmed to note how near the smoke of the forest fire seemed, and as she hastened onward her alarm became almost a panic when she perceived that the rushing flames were rapidly forcing their way between herself and the pottage. At length she was compelled to turn Into the dense thicket and attempt to force hr way to the west In an effort to ciroie around the flames and regain her home. In a short time the futility of her at tempt became apparent, and then her one hope lay In retracing her steps to the road and flying for her life to the Bouth, to ward the town. The 30 minutes that It took her to re gain the road was all that had been needed to ut off her retreat as effectu ally as her advance bad been cut off "before. A short run down the road "brought her to a Jwwi4 stand, for there before her was another wall of flam: An arm of the parent eoaflaarattoa had shot out a half-mile south of Its auUe to embrace this tiny strip of road la Its implacable clutche Jaue Porter knew tnat it ngaln to attempt to force her way through the undergrowth. She hnd tried It once and failed. Now she realized that It would be but ft mat ter of minutes ere the whole space be tween the enemy on the north and I uie enemy on the south would be a seething of billowing flames. Calmly the girl kneeled down In th dust of the roadway and prayed to her Maker to give her strength to meet her fate bravely and to deliver her father and friends from death. , She did not think to pray for deliverance for herself; for she knew there was no hope not even Ood could savo her now. Suddenly she heard her name being called aloud through the forcsti "Jane! Jano Porter!" It rang strong and clear, but In n strange voice. "Here!" she called in reply, "iierei In the roadway!" Then through the branches of the trees she saw a figure swinging with the speed of a squirrel. A veering of the wind blew n cloud of smoke about them and she could no longer see the man who was speeding toward her, but suddenly she felt n. great arm about her. Then she was lifted tip, and sho felt tho rushing of the wind nnd tho occasional brush of a branch as she was borne along. Sho opened her eyes Far below her lay tho undergrowth and the hnrd earth. About her was tho waving foliage of tho forest. From trco to tree swung tha giant figure which boro her, and It seemed to Jane Porter that sho was living over In a dream tho experience that had been hers In that far African Jungle. Oh, If It were but the samo man who 1 had homo her so swiftly through tho tangled verdure on that other day: but that wero Impossible. Tot who else In tho world wna thero with the strength nnd agility to do whnt this man was now doing? Sho stolo a sudden Blanco at' tho faco close to herB, nnd then sho gave a little frightened gasp It was hel "My mnnl" sho murmured. "No, It la the delirium which precedes death." Sho must have spoken out aloud, for tho eyes that bent occaclonally to hers lighted with n smile. "Yes, your man, Jano Porter: your sav age, primeval man como out of the Junglo to claim his mate the woman who rait away from him," he added almost fiercely. "I did not run away," she whispered. "I would only consont to leave when they had waited a week for you to return." They had como to n point beyond the fire now, and ho had turned back to tho clearing. Side by side they were walking toward the cottage. The wind had changed once more and the firo was burning back upon tsclf another hour like that and It would bo burned out. "Why did you not return?" she asked. "I was nursing D'Arnot. Ho was badly wounded." "Ah, I knew HI" she exclaimed. "They said you had gono to Join tho blacks thut they wero your people." He laughed. "But you did not believe them, Jane?" "No. What shall I call you?" she nBked. "What Is your name?" "I was Tarzan of the Apes when you first know me," he said. "Tarzan of the Apes!" she cried. "And that was your note I answered when I left?" "Yea: whoso did you think It was?" "I did not know; only that It could not be yours, for Tarzan of tho Apes had written in English, and you could not understand a word of any language." Again ho laughed. "It Is a long Btory, but It was I who wrote whnt I could not speak; and now D'Arnot has made matters worso by teaching me to speak French Instead of English." "Come," ho said, "jump Into my car. We must overtake your father; they are only n little way ahead." As they drove along ho said: "Then when you said In your note to Tarzan of the Apes that you loved an otheryou might have meant me?" "I might have," she answered, simply. "But In Baltimore oh, how I have searched for you they told mo you would possibly bo married by now. That a man named Canler had come up hero to wed you. Is that true?" "Yes." "Do you love him?" "No." "Do you love me?" She burled her face In her hands. "I am promised to another. I cannot answer you, Tarzan of the Apes," she cried. "You have answered. Now, tell we why you would marry one you do not love." "My father owes him monnv." Suddenly there came back to Tarzan the memory of the letter ho had read, and the name Robert Canler nnd tho hinted trouble which he had been unable to understand then. He smiled. "If your father had not lost the treas ure you would not feel forced to keep your promise to this man Canler?" "I would ask him to release me." "And If he refused7" "I have given my promise." He was silent for a moment. The car was plunging along the uneven road at n reckless pace, for the flre Bhowed threateningly at their right, and another change of the wind might sweep It on with raging tury across this one avenue of escape. Finally they passed the danger point. .... """ rcuuuea ineir speed. 'Suppose I should ask him?" Tarzan. ventured He would scarcely accede to the de mand of a stranger," said the girl. "Ea peclally one who wanted me himself." "Terkoz did," snld Tarzan, grimly. Jane Porter shuddered and looked fear fully up at tho giant figure beside her, for she knew that he meant the great anthropoid he had killed In her defense. "This is not an African Jungle," she said. You nro no longer a savage beast You are a gentleman, and gentlemen do not kill In cold blood." "I am still a wild beast at heart," he said, In a low voice, as-though to him self. Again they were silent for a time. "Jane Porter." said the man, at length. "If you were free, would you marry meT" She did not reply at once, but he waited patiently. The girl was trying to collect her thoughts. What did she know of this strange creature at her side? What did he know of himself7 Who was he? Who his parents? Why. his very name echoed his mysteri ous origin and his savage life. He had no name. Could she .be happy with this Jungle walfT Could she find anything In common with a husband Whose life had been spent In tree tops of an African wilderness, frolicking and fighting with fierce anthropoids, tearing his food from the quivering flank of fresh-killed prey, sinking his strong teeth Into raw fish, and tearing away his por tion while bis mates growled and fought about blm for their share? Could he ever rUe to her social sphere? Could she bear to think of sinking to his? Would either be happy in such a horrible misalliance? "You do not love me, then?" he asked "you shrink from wounding me? ' (CONTINUED TOMORROW.) Camden.

PLAN NAVAL REVIEW FOR COT ON FOURTH Secretary Daniels Instructs Ad miral Benson to Send as Many Ships as Possible. This city may be treated to n, miniature naval review on the Delaware on July 6th In connection with the national Fourth celebration ns a result of the co-operation which Is being shown In Wnnhlnirton concerning tho event. Secretary Daniels today Instructed Ad miral W. S. Benson, Chief of Naval Op ritlon. to 'send as many battleships as possible to Philadelphia on July 6th, nnd It Is believed that with those at the Navy Yard there will bo at least a dozen of Uncle Sam's fighters In the stream, dec orated In keeping with the occasion. Ad miral Benson conferred with the Gen eral Board to determine Just how many ships could be sent. It was learned that Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lano could not rep resent tho nation as principal speaker at tho Independence Hall ceremonies, and It Is probable that Beciotary of War Llndley M. Garrison will deliver the prin cipal address. A special Invitation to attend tho na tional Fourth of July celebration here will bo framed today for Henry Ford, tho nutomoblle manufacturer, and a spe cial messenger will tnko It to him per sonally. This action was decided on yes terday on motion of Edward Bok, of tha State Fourth of July Commission, at Its meeting In the Hotel Adclphla, This somewhat unusual procedure was decided upon because of Mr. Ford's reluctance to attend public functions. Tho manufne turor Is a personal friend of Governor Brumbaugh. Invitations also will bo sent to Thomas A. Edison nnd other promi nent Americans of achievement The commission decided that no liquor would be provided at tho banquet July 3 nt the expense of tho State. Although few of tho Governors Invited wilt bo ablo to attend bocauso of pre vious engagements, tho disappointment of their absence will bo lessened by the pres ence of many prominent guests who fig ure In tho nation's progress. Tho Reconstructed Fourth of July Com mittee, which has $7600 of clty-appolnted funds to distribute, among- 63 separata neighborhoods to finance games and con tests In tho Interests of a "safe nnd sano Fourth," needs more funds. It Is expected Mayor Blankenburg will ask Councils In a message, Thursday, to appropriate $1605 additional to that com mittee. Common Councilman Robert Smith, of tho 36th Wnrd, Is chairman of the body that Is composed mainly of private citizens. Ho and E. J. Laftorty called on Director Porter, of the De partment of Public Safety, to confer on enforcement of tho laws governing the uso and sale of fireworks. Chairman Smith later snld the call had been made at the request of Director Porter, and that he could not understand why they should not rather havo con ferred with the City Solicitor on tho matter. "Wo are only concerned In a safe and sane observance of the day," ho said. "Not one cent of our money Is to be spent for fireworks. That has been made emphatic to the committee. There has been no occasion for Director Porter or Superintendent of Police Robinson to de lay Issuing fireworks orders Just to hear what wo, or private citizens, had to say." BOY SCOUTS TO FORM HUMAN LIBERTY BELL Flag Formed by Girls Will Be Another Feature in Fourth of July Fete. A human Liberty Bell, formed by Boy Scouts, and n number of other surprises will be provided at the triple Fourth of July celebration which will be held by Burholme, Lawndale and Crescentvllle. Arangements have been made to give these communities a national reputation through moving pictures which will be made of the event. Plans for the cele bration were made last night at a meet ing in Sack's Hall of the Improvement associations representing the sections, and the co-operation of all three com munities will make this one of the larg est neighborhood events of the Fourth. The program Is being arranged under the direction of Charles J. Kraus, who is the originator of the Liberty Bell Idea, He proposed to construct It on Gaulbert's Field. He will uso several hundred boy scouts In the feat and a corps of buglers and a band will add to the patriotic Bplrlt. A human flag composed of school girls will be formed on the field adjoining the bell. Moving pictures of both will be taken and shown at Keith's Bijou Theatre before being displayed throughout the country. Preceding the formation of tho bell nnd flag, there will be a parade of school chil dren and local organizations through the principal streets of the three communities Several speakers. Including Assistant District Attorney Joseph P. Rogers, and John R. McLean, have been Invited to address the people at the official cere monies.

MARGARET CRAWFORD At the Now Woodsldo Park Thentro. Vaudeville It's a hard Job to mako people laugh, especially In this kind of weather. Then, too, an nutllenco Is made up for so many different temperaments. There's the nie chanlo and tho bank president, the mes senger boy nnd tho college professor, tho lover nnd tho grouch and tho vaudeville performer must make them nil laugh to gether or It don't count. But regardless of this task nnd the tem perature. John Hymns nnd Leila Moln tyre got away with It In good order last night nt Keith's. Mr. Hyams used some clover strategy In his Bklt, which Is called "Tho Quakoress," by making Miss Mcln tyre do most of tho work. Ho got a laugh whenever he wated It by winking an cyo or "pulllnB a mug." His quiet, ministerial way of working made one feel cool, but If this weather continues, It is highly probable that Miss Mclntyre will discover his llttlo scheme. Toward tho end of tho net Mr. Hyams evidently be- n.in.irlcken nnd danced. But the combination broke all Previous hit records and they wero kopt bowing and specchmaklng for some tlmo after their act was completed. A closo second for honors was Lady Sen Mel, a Chlncso singer nnd comedi enne Sho satiK songs of the Orient and also of America In excellent voice, which was accompanied by a magnetic Person ality. Miss Sen Mel showed too that sho was anxious to please and was rewarded with much applause. Ten vigorous dancers, who Introduced somo brand-new Ideas In this line, were seen In W. Horollk's "In thtf Gipsy Camp," and they defied all Ideas of toinperaturo in a strenuous act, which went over with a rush. Thero wero many other good things on tho bill, Including Diamond and Brennan, who presented some nonsenso In artistic style; Hal stepnens, in a picturesque on of famous plays; Herman Tlmberg, who danced and sang nnd played as of yore; n Burton Holmes Cruise to Rio Janeiro; the Four Janlcys and Dupree and Dupree, In a wonderful cycling act. Tho latest news Is seen In the pictures. Here and There The Internal troubles of vaudeville folk are brought out forcibly In "The New Leader," tho headline sketch at tho Nixon Grand, which was presented by Al Lewis and comoany. In addition to good com edy there is a good supply of music and dancing. Howard Chase and company' In the sketch "Where Ignorance is bliss" pro vided laughs and surprises and were much appreciated. Manuel Romaln sang the latest songB In pleasing voice and was rewarded with abundant applause. Queenle Duncdln proved that sho was a versatile artist, while the Rolandow Brothers, expert equilibrists, performed a number of amazing feats. The Harri son West Trio was also on the bill. The pictures are up to tho minute. Melodies of the Orient mingled with those of the United States In the Merry Maids of Japan, the headline attraction at the Cross Keys. The costumes and scenery gave correct environment to tho production. It was presented by a ca pable cast. The Cadets De Gascogne presented a novel act which won Immediate favor. Cook and Lorenz entertained with witty talk and novel antics. "Her First Case" proved to be an interesting sketch. Many thrills were supplied by tho Piclannl Troupe of Acrobats, while the Italian Maids showed that they were clever musi cians. Plenty of fun was supplied In the pic tures, which were along up-to-date lines. Woodslde Park A "Chicago Show" Is a "Chicago Show," even when It has grown as old as "Tho Time, the Place and the Girl" and Is revived out at the new Woodslde Park Theatre ns a week's entertainment In stock.
