Ijddle'' and "Very Good Eddie," which
the Marbury-Comstoek Com
pany is sending to the Orpheum to
night, following its sensational run of
one year at the Princess Theater, New-
York, is an example of how nicely a
farce can be transposed without losing
any of its brilliancy. Tiny little Eddie
Kettle has just married Amazonian
Georgina. Futile little Elsie has just
married big Percy Darling. The two
honeymooning couples are on the Hud

ficulty about the luggage, and Mr. Darl

straighten it out. Of course, the boat
pulls away, leaving the two shrinking
people cowering together At the first

boats out and they must spend the
night at an inn. ( Next morning to the
inn comes the other mismated pair. Of
course, all tills time, it must be under
stood. the timid team of honeymooners
have been mistaken for bride and
groom. The possibilities of the story
for fun are apparent, but it should be
stated here without equivication that
no advantage has been taken of these
latter possibilities.

eludes an engagement
at the Orpheum of one night only, Mon
day, in the three-act musical play, "Fol
low Me," at which time she will appear
in the role of Claire la Tour. This
sprightly piece was adapted from the
original Feliz Dorman and Archer,
andf is said to contain a piquant plot.
The musical numbers were composed
by Slgmund nomberg and the lyrics
were provided by ,11. B. Smith.
Much that is favorable can be said
of the bill of vaudeville now appearing
at the Majestic. Hugh
Hugh Herbert Herbert and Company
lit Majestic ale presenting a very
entertaining comedy
dramatic sketch entitled Prediction."
The Princeton Five, a quintet of talent
ed male artists, in an excellent musical
offering; Helen Davis, clever singing
comedienne, and two other meritorious
acts, complete tho bill. For the first
half of the coming week, Victor's Mel
ange, a big musical production with
fifteen people, will be the reigning
feature. Surrounding this attraction
are Donovan and Lee, In a bright com
edy skit, "Doing Well, Thank You;"
.lames Kennedy and Company, present
ing a comedy sketch entitled "Jack
Swift;" Jean Moore, singing comedi
enne, and Greenlee and Drayton, in a
lively song and dance turn.
One of the most remarkable bits of
acting, ever done by William S. Hart
/ is said to be a feature of
\VHIIMIU S. his new play, "The Gun
llart at Fighter," showing at the
the Colonial Colonial Theater for the
last times to-day, in
which he has .the role of a Western
outlaw, whose killings number more
than a score. Denounced by a young
girl as nothing more than a common
murderer, the outlaw first flies into a
terrific rage and then gives way to
grief and despair as the truth of the
girl's accusation is brought home to
him. Margery Wilson is seen as the
girl.
"His Iseadly Undertaking." a funny
Triangle comedy, is showing on the
same program. Monday, one day only,
Frank Keenan will be seen in a return
engagement of his big success, 'The
Sin Ye Do," a powerful story of the
unwritten law that will grip at the
heart-strings of everyone. "The Sinful
Marriage," another clever story from
the series "Is Marriage Sacred?" will be
the added attraction of the program.

The comedy-drama. "When a Girl Doves," which is to be presented at tin
Orpheum Theater on Tuesday and Wednesday, with Tuesday matinee, tells i
story of peculiar interest to both man and woman. How few people eve
stop to realize the power of a girl's love which later develops into a woman'
tenderness, in the final analysis, a girl's love is the greatest fundamenta
force in our life to-day, reaching: down to the very roots of our civilization.
I day of Charles R. Baker, advance man
ager ot the San Carlo
| San Carlo Grand Opera Company, all
Opera Co. details were completed with
local Manager Fred C.
Hand lor the coming o£ that organiza
tion to the Orpheum on Friday and Sat
urday, March 23 ana i-j. The three most
popular operas in the company's reper-
Itoire have been selected tor presenta
tion in Harrisburg. as loiiows: Friday
evening, Verdi's three-act masterwork,
I "Rigoletto;" Saturday, matinee, Offen
j bach's beautiful liunt opera, 'Tales of
Hoffman;" Saturday evening, Verdi's
tuneful "II Trovatoro."
The San Carlo organization thle sea
son has broken many records for both
attendance and receipts in the large
cities of the country. At Omaha re
cently some 16,000 people heard the
four performances of the company,
while at Quebec, Montreal, St. Louis and
other places the matter of turning
away as many as 1,000 people a night
became quite a regular thing. Manager
Hand has been carefully watching these
( remarkable successes, while the ex
changes have teemed with reviews of
the highest character regarding the or
ganization. Everywhere the singers
have been received with great acclaim,
and it is quite safe to predict some
splendid productions at the Orpheum by
the San Carlo forces, now almost double
their former numerical and artistic
strength. Opera devotees will welcome
the return to Harrisburg of such superb
artists as Mme. Edvige Vaceari, the
little coloratura; Mary Kaestner,
dramatic soprano; Salazar, the Span
iard; Antola, the rich-voiced singing
actor, and those two sterling bassos—
Signors Pietro Deßiasi and Natale
Cervi. Mme. Stella DeMette. the French-
American contralto, will also return.
Popular prices will feature the San
Carlo engagement, which promises
much byway of a treat to musiclovers
and others who admire this high form
of music drama.
Tom Forman. Walter Long and a
number of other prominent artists are
included in the cast'
Blanche Sweet supporting Blanche
at the Keseut Sweet In "The Evil
Eye," shown at the
Regent for the last time to-day. The
story was taken from an actual occur
rence at one of the vineyard settle
ments of California and shows the su
perstitions of the Americanized Mexi
cans in spite of tnelr continued contact
with educated people.
"The Happiness of Three Women,"
Albert Payson Terhune's thrilling
drama of social life, has been taken as
the basis for a startlingly clever photo
play, to be shown the first two days of
next week. It not only serves as the
vehicle in which House Peters returns
to the Paramount program, but intro
duces him and Myrtle Stedman as co
stars.

ings with representatives of the city
administration and various city or
ganizations of Harrisburg which will
co-operate in the construction of
bridges and establishment of new
street lines and will be taken up with
legislators when they return to the
city.
Plans Cover Many Years
The plans as outlined call for a pro
gram which will cover many years
and provide four big buildings for the
accommodation of the State govern
ment which is now scattered through
out Harrisburg as well as a park of
uncommon beauty. It will materially
change the existing front of the Capi
tol by flattening the Third street ter
race and making a hugo plaza while
the cast front of the building will be
part of a court containing formal gar
dens, fountains, lawns and rows of
trees.
Four Buildings In Project
The four buildings projected are two
office buildings similar to the Capitol
to project eastward from the present
wings, hut detached and to form sides
of the court and two others separated
by a highway with many ornamental
features, the latter two to be one for
offices and the several laboratories and
the other devoted to educational pur
poses, library, museum, school and col
legiate administration and the various
branches of the Department of Public
Instruction which are now crowded
into a small suite. It will also con
tain a big auditorium.
No estimates of the ultimate cost
have been made and cannot be as the.
program would be for 25 or 50
years, although the landscape work Is
to be started at once and the city of
Harrisburg will be asked to Inaugur
ate the street and bridge changes to
make the Capitol Park the center of
the city park system.

TEACHERS CLOSE
ANNUAL INSTITUTE
Hear Addresses by Dr. Smith
and Dr. Chambers on Modern
Ways ofi Instruction
The City Teachers' Institute closed
its thirty-fifth session to-day by hold
ing two meetings in the Central High
School Auditorium. The institute
this year was one of the most suc
cessful ones held by the local teach
ers.
The morning session was opened "by
music by Prof. E. G. Rose, of the
Central High faculty, the Rev. E. A.
Bossier, pastor of the State Street
United Brethren Church, had charge
of the devotional exercises. The two
principal addresses of the morning
were made, by Dr. R. W. Chambers,
dean of the School of Education of the
University of Pittsburgh, \yho spoke
on "New Education—Knowledge ver
sus Information," and Dr. Andrew
Thomas Smith, of the State Normal
school at West Chester, on the sub.
ject of "Obedience—the First Law of
Life." In his address Dr. Chambers
pointed out that knowledge comes
from necessity and urged the teach
ers to develop knowledge and not
merely cram the pupils with a lot
of information. Dr. Smith pointed out
that the teachers should develop the
spirit of co-operative endeavor to take
the place of implicit obedience. Both
men showed how the practical instruc
tion is more needed by the child than
book knowledge.

Superior Court Reverses
Full Crew Ruling I
Scr&nton, Pa., Mardh 10. The Su
perior Court, in an opinion yesterday,
written by Judge Head, reversed the
action of the Public Service Commission
in holding that a railroad employe
who, in addition to assisting the con
ductor, also looks after the comfort of
dining car passengers is not a member
of the "full crew."
The Court holds that inasmuch as
the duties of the employe necessarily )
devolve upon what is strictly termed a !
crew member he is construed to be in
cluded under the full crew act. The
opinion was rendered in the appeal of !
