DISPLAY OF FEMININE
FINERY 111 THE ORPHEUM
Mere Man Can See Exhibition Without
~ Blushing or Flinching—Virtues In
New Acts On Bill and No Faults
In Any
Beauty of face and beauty of dress
combine in "The Fashion Shop," the
headliner of the week at the Orpheum,
to make tip a most attractive act. The
living models are dressed in full view
of the audience in handsome gowus dc
siigjied by the "chicken dresser" him
self, Hugo Jansen. The appearance on
the stage of the models daintily but
scantily ganbed prior to being dressed
gives mere man the impression at first
that he is some place where he has no
business to be, but he does not blush
or flinch and after the gowns have been
properly arranged in place, he concludes
that after all there was nothing ter
ribly shocking about it and that it
was just as well he was there to enjoy
the splendid cffocts of the finished
dresses.
Although the nature of the act com
pels the models to appear in public
garbed in a way not usually considered
decorous, yet the absolute lack of sug
gestiveness in the talk and the actions
of the characters makes the act what it
really is, a beautiful display of femi
nine finery accompanied by good clean
comedy, appealing both to the esthetic
sense and to the sense of humor of the
onlookers.
Hugo Jansen, as the proprietor of
the modiste shop, is a gw>d comedian
as well as a deft designer of fashions,
Mada Ponder, as Mimie, 4s a pleasing
singer, and Erl Corr as Hvram Corn
crilb ami Blanche Latell. as his daugh
ter, Neuralgia, are ridiculously funny.
The three models add attractiveness to
the production by the?r facial beauty,
but that lias nothing to do with the
gwns and may as well be ruled out of
the discussion."
Another Really Good Act
. The other really good a-ct on this
week's bill is a playlet, "Twenty Odd
Years." exceptionally wel| presented.
Harry Bereaford as "Nunkey," guard
ian of a love si<vk nieice, can create
comedy by a glance properly placed and
in his speech is richly funny.
With the exception of a piano ac
cordionist, the other performers on the
bill all come in pairs. Their accomplish
ments include vocal music, attempts at
vocal music, tight no[>e walking, clever
and quasi-clever dialogues, and dancing
both elegant and not so elegant. The
bill has many virtues in a few acts and
no faults in any.

515.000 ASKED FOR SHAFT
INHONOROF MOLLY PITCHER
Memory of the "Only Woman Can
noneer" of the Revolutionary War
to Be Perpetuated by Monument in
Carlisle If Measure Is Passed
Tho bill introduced in the Senate
this morning by Senator Martin, of
Cumberland, for the erection of a mon
ument in Carlisle to commemorate the
heroine of the battlefield of Monmouth
in 1778, known in history as "Molly
Pitcher," and providing for the ap
pointment of a commission to select a
model and supervise tho erection of the
shaft, carries an appropriation of $15,-
000.
In the preamble the bill gives a his
tory of tho famous heroine. Mtiry X/iul
wig, of Carlisle, married John Hays,
of Carlisle, and John enlisted in the
Continental army. At the battle of Mon
mouth on June 28, 1778, John Hays was
shot down at the mouth of his cannon
and bofore the command could be obey
ed "to the rear with the unmanned
gun," "Molly Pitcher" took the place
of her husband and served for eight
hours, rallying the troops and assisting
| in winning the battle, for which heroic
action she was called before Washing
ton and brevetted a sergeant, the
French troops calling her El Capitan or
Captain Molly.
Mary returned to Carlisle with her
husband, and after his death she mar
rtfed a man named MoCauley, who also
died, and then Pennsylvania gave Molly
a pension of $-10 a year "for services
rendered in the Revolutionary war,"
indexed "Molly (Mn'Kolley, Revolution
ary heroine." the only woman so in
dexed in the archives of Pennsylvania.
She signed vouchers for this pension,
according to the history accompanying
the bill, in some of which she spells
her name McKollv and some McCaulev.
The citizens of Carlisle erected a
humble monument to mark her grave
iu the old graveyard at Carlisle, but
the State lias never erected a proper
monument to the only woman cannoneer
of the Revolutionary war.
The bill names as a commission to
seleet the plan for the monument and
erect it: Rov IJ. Schuyler, 'Ha
ven; William A. Rupp, Carlisle; Wil
liam S. Wacker, Philadelphia, and Her
man A. Miller, of Easton, together with
three other citizens of the State to be
appointed by the Governor. The com
mission will serve without compensa
tion except traveling and incidental
expenses.
The bill was referred to the Com
mittee on Appropriations.
HUNDREDS TURNED AWAY
AT MAJESTIC LAST NICHT
House Is Packed for First Performance
by Thurston, Modern Merlin, Who
Does Stunts Which Are Really Mar
velous
Hundreds of persons were actually
turned awav at the Majestic Theatre
last night, where the maigician, Thurs
ton, gave his first performance here this
season. The house was sold out some
time befoiife the doors opened. Al
though the initial rush was due to the
reduced rato made possible by coupons
issued by the Star-Independent. The au
dience this afternoon was also a large
one and indications are that the per
formances to-night and to-morrow aft
ernoon and night will draw additional
big crowds.
Those who had to fight to gain ad
mission to the theatro last night,—air.l
many were driven to that resort,—-
were well compensated for their trouble.
The exhibition of magic given by
Thurston is nothing short of marvelous
in all three parts. The delusions arc
really delusions; there is no explaining
them. The crowds who leavo the show,
dazed and mystified, know that they
have been deceived in some way or oth
er, but they went to tho theatre for
that purpose and arc perfectly well
satisfied.
Seems to Be Real Wizard
There are tricksters and »leight-of
hand performers in plenty, but ma
gicians in these days are rare, and
Thurston from all outward appearances
is one of the wizards surviving from
t'he time of the great Merlin. After
he had performed a few of his disap
pearance stunts, h c would have little
difficulty in convincing the spectators
that he could make tdic whole stage van
ish if he wanted to, anil perhaps the en
tire theatre.
Mr. Thurston is an entertaining talk
er and has a well 'developed sense of
humor. The fun relieves the strain pro
duced by the mysticism, and there is
plenty of it between curtains for the
purpose. The magician is assisted by
more than a score of persons, and it is
darkly hinted that these persons do not
always come in full view of the audi
ence to do the assisting.
Jt may not be difficult to make
guesses as to "how he does it," but it
is unlikely that many of the guesses
are correct ones. Thurston has Harris
burg talking tp-day, and when he leaves
the city hp will leave a large part of
it in wonder and delight at his exhibi
tion of remarkable iskill.
IT PAYS TO USE STAR
INDEPENDENT WANT ADS.

Governor Brumbaugh
Issues Defy to Law
makers Who Oppose
the Measure
HALTS PLAN TO
RUSH OUT BILL
Wants It Kept in Committee So That
There Can Be a Public Hearing-
Says He Will Oppose Re-election
of Men Who Fight Bill
Legislative hulls fairly buzzed last,
night over an incident that occurred
just previous to the House being called
to order, and which concerned the I/aw
and Order Committee of that body and
Governor Brumbaugh.
It had l been announced by certain
members of the Law and Order Com
mittee that a meeting of that body
would be held to-day and the local op
tion bill reported out with a favorable
recommendation. This quick action oil
the bill in committee did not suit Gov
ernor Brumbaugh, who had been tipped
off that the bill was to bo reported out
soon in order that its opponents might
kill it, as they now process to have
enough votes to defeat it. Any delay
in reporting the bill would give the
Governor more opportunity to have per
sonal talks with legislators and urge
the passage of the local option bill.
ljiist night the members of the
and Order Committee were invited to
call at. the Executive Department at $
o'clock to have a conference with Gov
ernor Brumbaugh and fifteen of them
responded along with Speaker Ambler.
When seated those committeemen were
informed by Governor Brumbaugh that
,he had asked their presence in order
1 that he might request them not to re
j port the local option bill out until it
! had hnd a hearing publicly, and botl»
| sides had been given a chance to be
; heard.
The Governor said that the local op-
I tion measure is one thatvformed a pirt
of his personal platform, and he wanted
to see it passed, anil thought ft, wouH
have a better chance if its report irond
committee were deferred.
An opponent of the bill told tlm
Governor that the bill has already been
in committee a month, to which tho
Governor replied that he was l'ully
aware of the status of measure.
Then he followed this up by notify l
ing the committeemen present that he
proposed to keep tabs 011 tJnose who o;<>
]H>se the local option bill, and if it is
defeated, he said, lie will in 1916 go
into the district of every niuu who op
pose-1 it and oppose his re-election ti»
lhe House. That was about all tlv.it
passed between the Governor and tho
committee, but the bill v.ill not. be re
ported out until the Governor gives the
word.
The story created great excitement,
in legislative halls last night, and
with some it was considered the begin
ning of a contest between certain legis
lators and the Governor.
Chairman Williams, of the Wouse
law and Order Committee, last nig'it
presented in the House a petition sign
ed bv 1,000 inmates of the Kuutei'n
Penitentiary to consider favorably any
bill for the curtailment of the sale of
intoxicating liquors in Pennsylvania.
