News of Plays, Players and Attractions at
Harrisburg's Leading Theaters
V J
THE presentation by Mrs. Flske, of
Mrs. Helen R. Martin's comedy,
"Erstwhile Susan." at the Or
pheum on January 6, will be the first
time that Harrisburg theatergoers
have ever had an opportunity to wit
ness a play from the pen of a local
writer.
THE popularity with which the
Al. G. Fields Minstrels have for
years been received in Harris-
Imrg has Induced Wllmer, Vincent and
Appell to book the attraction this sea
son for two days. Fields and his com
pany will be at the Orpheum, January
11 and 12.
THE Fashion Shop" with its elabo
rate display of girls and gowns,
returns to the Majestic Theater
to-day for its second Harrisburg en
gagement this season. In the playlet,
Hugo Jan Ben, a Parisian fashion de
signer, drapes modern gowns on the
models without any cutting or sewing.
Jansen does all of his work with pins
and in a few minutes turns out some
beautiful gowns that any dressmaker
might be proud to have placed to her
credit after days of hard work. While
this novel method of designing is go
ing on there Is constant song, dance
and comedy in the act. Another fea
ture of this bill at the Majestic will be
Lady Sen Mel, a Chinese prima donna,
with voice and personality considered
remarkable in an Oriental entertainer,
other acts are McCormick and Wal
lace. ventriloquists; Quinn and Laf
ferty, in songs, and Fisher and Sauls,
comedy cyclists.
TN moving the vaudeville from the
Orpheum to the Majestic, Wllmer,
Vincent & Appell did not forget the
long-established custom of inviting
Santa Claus to be present with some
thing for the little folks. At each mat
inee during the present week, Santa
Claus will be in the lobby of the Ma
jestic Theater with candy and oranges
for yorthful vaudeville goers.

MONDAY EVENING, ,
Harrisburg. They have appeared sev- |
eral times at the Orpheum. This sea
son they have a sketch with four peo- ,
pie In and carry a special stage sot
ting. It is the most elaborate thins
that this popular couple have under- j
taken. Miss Walker, who is a very
pretty girl, is a native of York and
has many friends in that city, where ,
she now resides with her husband, I
Wilbur Mark.
WHILE the management claims
that everybody will get their
money's worth, because it is a
good bill, some one person who at
tends the Majestic Theater this week
will get big returns on his investment.
That is if he is lucky enough to find
the Telegraph's Sherlock Holmes, Jr.,
for whose discovery a prize of $25 in
cash is offered. The Telegraph man
of mystery has been directed to at
tend the Majestic Theater every even
ing during the present week. To make
a twenty-flve cent investment and reap
$25 in return is about the best busi
ness opportunity open this week, and
no doubt everybody who goes to the
vaudeville this week will try to be the
lucky person.
THE celebrated player, Thomas
Jefferson, son of the late Joseph
Jefferson, plays the stellar role
of "The Sable Lorcha," the dramatic
feature of the new Triangle program
on view for the first time at the Colo
nial Theater to-day. In "The Sable
Lorcha," Tully Marshall also appears
doing a characterization of Soy, a
cunning half-breed Chinaman. Mr.
Jefferson's first experience with the
motion picture drama came with his
engagement by D. W. Griffith as a
member of the Btograph stock in
"Classmates." He likes this form of
stage art very much on account of the
variety in the work, as there Is some
thing different to do every day. "The
Sable Lorcha" is a story that is far
removed from the beaten path. It
deals with the smuggling of Chinese
and gives a number of great actors
much opportunity for splendid char
acter work. The comedy feature- of
this program is entitled, "Stolen
Magic" and presents Raymond Hitch
cock and Mabel Normand in a series
of very funny episodes.
APPARENTLY the Sunny South
has afforded more than its share
of material for the writers of
fiction the past few years, as very
many of the most popular novels and
plays contain that southern atmos
phere which Continually appeals to
the general public. "At the Old Cross
Roads," with its scenes laid in the vi-
SCHLEISNER STORES WILL CLOSE
EVERY EVENING THIS WEEK
The Christmas spirit Is being shown
more and more each year In the con
sideration of the public and the mer
chandising community for the hun
dreds of clerks in the stores of Har
risburg. Gradually the hours of labor
have been cut down and the keeping
open of the stores evenings is being
reduced more and more year after
year.
The Telegraph has already men
tioned the fact that certain stores
would be open certain evenings, that
others would close at the usual time
and that Christirtas Eve would be the
same as other evenings here and
there.
Now conies the Schtelsner stores
with the statement that they will be
closed every evening this week.

PAYS TRIBUTE TO
LUTHER R. SIMON
Well Know as An Architect,
Builder and Horticulturist;
Born Here in 1835
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
May I in this way at once write the
obituary and pay tribute to an old
friend and prominent resident of Har
risburg and D&uphln county.
In the passing away of Luther M.
Simon at his Ingleside farm, near
Linglestown yesterday morning, anoth
er prominent figure in the history of
Harrlsburg of the past is removed—
the eldest son of the late John B.
Simon, and Mary, his wife, he was
trained in the old time ways of the
sturdy fathers and mothers of the
period, and in accordance with those
teachings was a dutiful son.
His father, a prominent builder in
the past century, was largely engaged
in the building up of the Capital city
and Luther's tastes were Inclined to
architecture which tastes were develop
ed In the prominent schools of the na
tion and he returned to his native city
to practice his profession After the
death of his father lie turned his at
tention to horticulture, and just four
and thirty years ago he retired to his
country place and turned his attention
to the propagation of fruits in which
he attained master success.
It was always a pleasure to Krasp
his stalwart hand In receiving his
greeting on liis visit to the city, when
he delighted to recount the early days
of his experience when a student at the
Military School of Captain Partridge
at the corner of Second and State
streets. He is survived by his wife,
Mary R., and one son. Howard A.; also
one brother. Dr. Samuel H., of Brook
lyn. N. Y.. and two sisters. Clara
and Mrs. Keiper, of New York City.
Born in Harrishurg in Market street,
near Fourth, In August. lS.i.'i, and keep
ing in touch with the wonderful im
provements in his native city he was In
tensely interested in the great changes
taking place, and rejoiced in the mark
ed improvements of the age. Manv
prominent buildings in the city were
erected under his supervision as nrHil
teet and builder, and his mtmorlfs of
the events of the old town of almost
three-fourths of a century ago were
very bright and vivid.
The poet has said:
"Thou unrelenting past.
Strong are the barriers round thv
dark domain.
And fetters sure and fast:
Hold all that enter thy unbreathing
reign,
Thou hast my better years
Thou hast my earlier friends—the good
—the kind—
Yielded to thee with tears
The venerable form—the exalted mind."

Rotary Club Hears
Address and Gets
Ready For Christmas
The improvement In the moral tone
of modern business was the tople of
the Rev. J. A. Lyter. speaker at the
noon luncheon of the Harrisburg Ro
tary Club at the Senp.te to-dav. The
Rev. Mr. Lyter was the guest of Ralph
\\. Dowdell, manager for the Bur
roughs Adding Machine eompanv, who
was heairman of the meeting. Mr.
Lyter said that in all his experience
in Harrisburg he did not know of a
time when any merchant with wliom
IK- had dealt had attempted to taken
even the smallest advantage of hint
and that the new keynote in business
is service as well as profit.
During the luncheon a number of
guests of members made brief .speeches
and John S. Musser, former president
of the Rotary Club and president of
the Dauphin Electrical Supplies com
pany. Market street, presented each of
those pesent with a pocket electric
flashlight as a Christmas souvenir
To-morrow night the members will
gather at the Public Library where a
Christmas tree will be erected with
presents for all who attend. Each
member will bring a guest, for whom
there will be a souvenir, and no mem
ber will be admitted who does not
bring with him also a well-filled
Christmas basket. These maskets will
I be distributed among poor families of
the city.

Another Freight Embargo
on New York Shipments
Realizing its inability to cope with
the problem of moving freight into
New York, the Pennsylvania Railroad
yesterday issued a further embargo on
all freight destined for the New York
district, with the exception of food
stuffs and coal for necessarv pur
poses."
This order fulfills in Its most drastic
form the intimation of a few days ago
when, having refused to tarry freight
originating on connecting lines, the
road gave shippers on its own lines to
understand that unless shipments to
New York decreased the company would
be compelled to take txtreme measures.
Coupled with the Pennsylvania em
bargo the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway put into operation yesterday
an embargo on coal shipped to Port
Reading, N. J.
Use Regular Train to
Explain Recent Collision
Special to The Telegraph
Chester, Pa., Dec. 20. For more
than an hour yesterday twelve repre
sentatives of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the Pennsylvania Public
Service Commission and Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad offlcials carefully studi
ed details leading up to the fatal wreck
at Felton Station Friday night, when
five were killed and a score badly in
jured.
A train. «n exact duplicate of the ac
commodation which was reduced to
kindling wood when the special plowed
its way through the coaches, was used
in the demonstration. The brakeman of
the accommodation, who was at first re
ported missing, and who was the only
one of the crew to escape death or in
jury, re-enacted the part he played on
Friday night.
RAILROAD NOTES
The Reading telegraphers and of
ficials are still deadlocked over the
wage scale. Another conference was
held Saturday without results.
An early morning mail train, Satur
day morning, on the Philadelphia Di
vision of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
struck a milk team, killing two mules
and smashing the wagon.
The Pennsylvania Railroad this year
will realize $2,000,000 from its scrap
heaps. Junk dealers purchased old
Iron, waste paper, oil barrels, rubber,
old cars and engines and other odds
and ends in pipes, valves, etc.
Beginning to-day three additional
passenger trains will be run between
Mt. Union and Newton Hamilton, on the
Middle Division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. They are for the accommo
dation of employes at the powder mills
at Mt. Union.

'Charles H. Dickerman,
as Dr. Swallow Knew Him
Dr. Silas C. Swallow lias written
this tribute to Cliarles Holier Dicker
ninn, whoso death occurred Saturday:
"There is sometimes much in a
name, but infinitely more in the char
acter behind the name. Reginald
! Heber, Bishop of Calcutta, scholar,
poet and essayist, was one of the
sweetest spirits or the nineteenth cen
tury. Hebcr Dickerman, as I have
known him for more than a half cen
tury, was in sweetness of spirit, in his
power, of analysis of men and meas
ures, in his consecration to principle
and devotion to duty was the dupli
cate of him whose name he bore.
"We think of him as the skillful
teacher of youth when fifty-live years
ago we taught country schools in ad
joining districts. As the self-sacrific- i
inn nurse as he sat by our hotel bed- I
side and ministered to the writer |
through the long nights of suffering]
from pneumonia: as the man of steady
growth in wisdom, knowledge, affec- |
tion and business acumen; as a potent!
factor in one of the largest and most
successful corporations of the cen- |
tury; as the wise and careful legisla
tor in Congress, and as the friend and I
supporter of moral, religious and ely
mosenary institutions whether of his
own creed or of others.
"As we shall stand at his open !
casket In the town of Milton and pay I
loving tribute to his memory, we shall j
think of Heber as joyfully united in :
spirit with the long-since departed
companion to whose memory he was
loval through so many long years."
