CITY IMPROVEMENT i
IRK UNDER WAY;
[Continued from First Pago] I
lars to make Pennsylvania's capital a I
better and even more beautiful city. I
Always the Harrisburg citizen has
been proud of the Susquehanna and
that is why, perhaps, so much interest
centers on the erection of the steps
and wall that will beautify the river
front.
Xext to the progress of the work on i
the wall, "the Front Steps of Harris
burg," the river dam. the Front and
Second street subways under the Cum
berland Valley tracks, the improve
ment of Paxton creek, the great three
f' o! concrete sewer that is destined to
drain the whole southern portion of
the city and a large part of the lower
part of the Hill, the new bridge across
the Pennsy tracks at Dock street and I
the various paving jobs, including the j
Derry street improvement—all share
the attention of the interested Harris-|
burger these days. i
Working On the Wall
Work on the river wall is being
pushed steadily by Stacker Brothers
Construction Company and gangs are
employed in several places. Con
siderable of the paved sidewalk has
already been placed on the wall north !
from Iron alley, concrete work having j
been started early this week.
In the vicinity of the pumping sta-|
tion some "fill" has been placed, while |
above Hardscrabhle excavations are
being made and forms for the concrete
"stringers." or step supports, are being
put in position. Concreting was started
at this point Thursday. To-day a cof
ferdam was built near Harris street to
make possible excavations for the
steps.
By July 1 we expect to have the
stops, walkway, wall ana all, com
puted as far up as Paxton street,"
said George D. Stucker, superintend
ing director of the company. "And
before the cold weather sets in I think
it's safe to say that we'll have the
.ioli completed, at least as far as Hard
scrabble, and probably beyond."

Under C. V. Tracks by July 1
Front and Mulberry streets is buzzing
and whirring daily with the activity
of the great steam shovel, carts and
scores of men who are rapidly exca
vating for the proposed Front street
subway under the Cumberland Valley
bridge.
This work, too, is being done by
Stucker Brothers under sublet contract
from the T. Larry Eyre company, of
Philadelphia. From the south side of
Mulberry the excavation, except for
trimming off and shaping, has been
completed to the track embankment,
and by the end of the week this will be 1
true of the north side.
"Unless something unforeseen should
happen, we expect to have this work
finished clear under the tracks by the
tirst of July, too," said Mr. Stucker to
day.
Houses in the whole railroad section
below Mulberry street, the zone of the
proposed freight house improvement,
are rapidly being razed and the block
at lirst glance looks much as if a great
lire had swept the district.
Tunneling 20 Feet Below Surface
One feat of engineering that is being
watched with much interest by con
tractors and professional men as well
as laymen is the progress of the work
on the sewer that is to drain the dis
trict. Instead of excavating to the
surface the entire section from Second
street to the river a great, tunnel is be
ing driven through the earth twenty
feet below the surface from Second
street to the river.
Paxton creek's Improvement Is be
ing pushed ahead as steadily as pos
sible under the direction of the West
Construction Company, which was
given the contract by the Maryland
Casualty Company, Karl T. Opper
man's bondsman. Concreting of the
surface of the great gutter Is occu
pying the workmen at Market street,
while another gang is equally busy in
the vicinity of Hemlock street. This
job, it is expected, should be com
pleted with the exception of the fin
ishing touches before the cold weather
sets In.
Spring Creek and Perry Street
G. W. Ensign, who is building the
big sewer through Spring creek that
will drain the lower section of the Hill
as far east as Paxtang, will finish the
work this summer. The excavations
are pretty nearly completed and the
concreting work will be pushed ahead
as rapidly as possible. The course of
the drain led through the Cameron
parkway and of necessity the park was
tr.rn up and some of the shrubbery
destroyed in certain parts. This will
all be replaced by the contractor.
The paving of Derry street, among
other paving operations now under
way under the eye of the Department 1
of Streets and Public Improvements, Is
assured for this summer. The Dock
street bridge, which is being built by
the Central Construction and Supply
Company, is about ready for the relay
ing of the Ilarrlsburg Railways Com-
I pany trucks and within a few weeks
the viaduct will be open for travel. 1
AT THE PALACE
J. Warren Kerrigan appears in a
new role on Monday when he takes
the part of a "Sheep Herder" in a
two-reel drama of the same name.
Sheep herders are held in contempt
even by the layman. In "The Sheep
Herder," Mr. Kerrigan plays the title
part and ends by making the lowly
caretaker of migratory mutons into a
real hero.
The two-reel drama is a gripping
western story with plenty of action.
A herd of 2,000 sheep is used as a
realism asset in the story.
"The Hills of Silence," 101 Bison
in three reels, features Cleon Madison.
It is replete with pathos, but has a
happy ending.
The Heeds and the Blakes, neigh
boring families in an eastern town,
leave for the California gold fields,
i After days of weary travel they fall
in with an emigrant train.
Before the emigrants have com
pleted more than two-thirds of their
Journey they find themselves in a ter
ritory peopled with hostile Indians.
The Reed wagon and the Blake wagon
become separated. Without anticipa
tion the redskins fall upon the white
men. Mary's mother is killed, but her
self, her father and brother escape.
Even a worse fate overtakes Jack
Blake. Every member of his family,
except himself, is massacred.
The surviving members of the Reed
family setle in California, but the elder
Reed's sorrow for his dead wife preys
upon him so heavily that he loses in
terest in the affairs of life. After a
lapse of a number of years Jack Blake
again shows up in California. In a
light which begins over a game of
cards, he is wounded by Red Lawson,
a gambler. In hiding from the au
thorities, Lawson seeks refuge in the
Reed home.
While in pursuit of Lawson Jack
Blake linds Mary, his former sweet
heart. The story comes to a dramatic
climax when Red Lawson comes upon
Reed, who is mourning beside his
wife's grave. Red is about to kill
Reed when an old enemy shoots and
kills him. Jack Blake and Mary seek
out the remaining members of both
ill-fated families and reunite for a
luckier future.
"When They Grew Jealous," a Pow
ers comedy, completes the program.

PIMCOIOIL
CLUB NEXT TUESMY
Will Be Public Event; Open Air
Festivals by Famous Frank
Lea Short Company
MISS KATHRYN VINCENT
Leading Engenue.
Arrangements have been made for
an electrical decoration of the Colonial
Country Club's handsome building on
the Linglestown road for the two out
door performances by the famous
Frank Lea Short company of players
next Tuesday. The clubhouse has just
been painted throughout and for this
occasion the whole building will be
open to those who attend the plays.
It Is to be a public event and tickets
are on sale at several places, as fol
lows: 24 North Second street; Gorgas'
drug store, 16 North Third street;
Diener's jewelry store, 408 Market
street; Care's store, Linglestown;
Loser's store, Progress; Flshburn's
store, Penbrook; also from any club
member.
A special street railway schedule has
been made as follows; Ten-minute
schedule from 1 to 2.30 p. m. and from
6 to 8.30 p. m. and a ten-minute serv
ice after the play afternoon and even
inn. Take cars In Market Square
labeled Progress or Linglestown.
A pleasing feature of the open-air
dramatic festival is the singing be
tween the acts by a double quartet of
mixed voices. The rehearsing for this
part of the entertainment consumed
some six weeks before the opening of
the season and the work of the singers
has been remarked wherever the
Frank Lea Short company appears.
Songs were selected for each play
which were typical of the period in
which the story of the play is set. The
singers are not seen and the effect ot
well-blended voices from the darkness
of the trees and shrubbery is most
charming.
Seldom has a company of such in
imitable excellence been gathered to
gether as that with which Frank T,ea
Short will produce "Pomander Walk"
Tuesday afternoon. V. L. Granville,
who will portray the part of Jack
Sayles In the now famous Louis N.
Parker comedy, is an Irish actor and
made his first appearance in Dublin
in Lillian Langtry's "Esther Handrez."
It was in that production he caught
the eyes of Sir Herbert Tree, who con
tracted with him to appear at his Ma
jesty's theater, London, as Fenton in
"The Merry Wives of Windsor" and as
Sebastian in "Twelfth Night." From
there he joined E. 11. Sothern and
Julia Marlowe to come to America and
play the roles of Gratiano In "The
Merchant of Venice," Biondello in
"The Taming of the Shrew" and the
king in "Hamlet."
"Robin Hood," to be given in the
evening, is a new comedy written
around the most famous out-of-door
characters In English literature, the
merrie outlaw and his faithful forest
ers. The play Is founded on the Inci
dents in the stirring old English bal
lads and has already proved to be the
biggest success ever given In the open
air. The special opening performance
was at the Century Theater, New York
city. In April, and the instant success
of the comedy was such as to cause a
demand that It run all summer. How
ever, a long open-air tour had already
been booked and so the other towns
through the country are having an op
portunity to witness the play before
the New York run. ,
