"A Pair of Sixes"
It is not often that a pair of sixes
wins the " big pot," but it has proven
so in the case of Edward Peple's now
farce of that title, which will be seen
at the {Majestic, Friday, matinee and
night, as the Christmas attraction. It
has been running for nearly a year in
New York, at the Longiacre theatre,
and has now started on a long run in
Chicago. It can safely be stated with
out fear of contradiction, that no play
of this kind has ever received such
swperlative praise, from the New York
critics. Many of t'he metropolitan writ
ers iboldly declared that it was a "riot
of fun," and made no apololgy for in
dulging in this oft-abused phrase. It
will be presented hero by a very excel
lent comipany, including Bertha Krity
hoff, John Kearney, Nellie MtoHenry,
Kendal "Weston and Caroline Leonard.

At the Orpheum
The Orpheum begins its yuletide
celebrations to-day. A special holiday
bill will be introduced there. Santa
Clans will be there with gifts for the
children, and the play house will begin
to take on a festive hue with its
Christmas dress of evergreens. "The
Dream Pirates," a delightful one-act
musical comedy with a fine east, two
sets of special scenery, and any amount
of tuneful frolic, wall lead the holiday
vaudeville 'bill. Hart MwHugh, who sent
"The Lawn Party" to the Onpheum
a few weeks ago, is also the producer
of "The Dream Pirates." Pretty and
fascinating Flo Bert is featured in the
cast. She in turn has the support «f
four or live principals and a chorus of
youthful beauties, who will inject the
catchy song hits.
The headl'iner for the "kiddies"
will be Derkin's animal novelty, called
'' A Busy Day in Doigvillo.'' Here is a
comedy animal act that is a veritable
scream from start to finish. The dogs
and monkeys have a little town of
their own ami the excitement that hap
pens in the 'borough in the twenty min
utes they are on the stage, is scream
ingly funny. Also Josephine Davis,
after a tour of the would returns to the
Orpheum after a five seasons' absence.
'Phis charming song bird wild have some
interesting songs and some interesting
gowns, and she will have the assistance
of one Billy OelleT at the piano. Emmet
Devoy and company will be seen in a
comedy called "His Wife's Mother"
that belongs in the headline cites ailso.
Other names of the Orpheum's Christ
mas bill include Dolly and Mack; Lew
is and Norton, and Nolan and Nolan.
odv. ***
At the Colonial
The Colonial inaugurates a bill to
day that looks to be of unusual calibre.
Walter D. Nelanil and company, who
were members of the "Detective
Keen" playlet seen in Harrisburg be
fore, will present a surprise comedy
sketch as one of the most important
attractions. Norman and Clare, declar
ed to be vaudeville' cleverest children,
appear on this bill also. The Nikko
troupe, famous exponents of oriental
skill; and Von Dell, in impersonations
of famous composers and musicians,
complete the vaudeville bill. Patrons
of the Busy Corner must bear in mind
that a Christmas Country Store will
be a pari of the Wednesday evening
performance. The management is

Cleveland, 0., Dec. 21.—William .T.
Troy, 50, proprietor of several hotels,
was found stabbed to death in a room
in the Troy hotel, at St. Clair avenue
and Ontario street, early to-day. There
■were half a dozen stab wounds in his
body.
The fact that ovir S2OO of Troy's
money and a'diamond ring were report
ed missing caused the police to work
on the theory that ro'Wbery prompted
the crime. The suicide theory, however,
has not (been abandoned. The police
were apprised of the death of the hotel
owner by a woman's voice over the
telephone, which said:
"Our old friend Troy is dead—been
stabbed in hia own hotel. Better come
over and look at him.'
Who called the police has not been
determined.
SUNDAY IS DAY OF OUIET
ALONG BATTLE FRONT IN
NORTHERN FRANCE ZONE
Paris, Dec. 21, 2.57 iP. M.—Progress
all along the line is claimed in the
French official statement given out in
Paris this afternoon. There is not one
single mention of a German success or
a French repulse. Gains, although
slight, are recorded in Belgium, between
the Lys and the Aisne, in the Cham
pagne country and in the Argonne. At
one point an advance of 1,200 yards
is recorded and at another the French
made 500 yards. Progress has been
made between the Argonne and the
Meuse, on the right bank of the Meuse
and on the heights of the Mouse. The
French heavy artillery is described as
having been successful on the Aisne,
near Biheims and elsewhere.
The text of the communication fol
lows:
"The day of December 20 brought
nothing of importance in Belgium if
exception is made of some progress in
the region of Liombaertzyde and St.
Georges and at a point to the southeast
of the inn of Kortaker, which is south
east of Bixschoote; the occupation
some houses in Wartelem, south of
Zillebeke and the bombardment by
the enemy of the Ypres hospital.
"Between the Lys and the Aisne,
we have occupied a forest near the
route between Noulettes and Souchez
and we also took possession of alt the
first line of German trenches between
this highway and the first houses of
Notre Dame De Lorette, southwest of
Looz.
"Our heavy artillery silenced on re
peated occasions the artillery of the
enemy to the north of Carrioy, which
is to the east of Albert. This artillery
also demolished the German trenches
and sent head over heels two cannons
of a battery established near Horn,
which is to the southeast of Caruo.v.
The heavy artillery also secured dis
tinct advantages on the Aisne and in
the region of Kheims.
"In Champagne the region of
Prosnes. Perthes and Beause.jour, as
well as in the Argonne, we made along
our entire front appreciable advances.
This is particularly so to the northeast
of Beausejour, where we won ;.nd occu
pied 1.200 yards of the enemy's
trenches, in the forest of La Grurie we
blew up four mined saps and we estab
lished ourselvos in the positions thus
made.
"Between the Argonne and the
Meuse there has been progress along
all the front, particularly in the region
of Varennes, where the brook of Chep
pes has been left 500 yards in our rear,
and in the region of Gercourt-Bethin
court.
"On the right bank of the Meuse
we have gained ground at IM. Croupe
at a point two kilometers northwest
of Brabant and in the forest of Con
senvoye.
"Finally, on the heights of the
Meuse we have made slight progress in
the forest De* Chevaliers, to the north
cast uf I'ort of Coyon."
