The elusive Johnny fairly smothered his opponent with an assortment of hooks, jabs, swings and uppercuts, which several times had Wallace on the verge of a trip to slum berlund. Just near the close of the ninth Kil bane landed a terrific left on Wal lace's jaw. Tho Brooklyn lad's knees sagged under him and it looked as if he was going to crumple up from the punch. However, he clinched and man aged to last out. the round. The weigliu were Kilbane, 130; Wallace, 126. The champion received a tremen- I dous ovation as he entered the ring.

V-— "Within the Law" While "Within the Law," the in tensely interesting play of modern con ditions in Now York life by Bayard Veiller, was in the height of its suc cessful run, which lasted two years at the Eltinge Theatre, the management decided to give a special performance before the blind of New York City a#d this charitably intention was carried out with the aid of the Matilda Zieg lor Magazine for the Blind. More than 1,000 sightless persons "saw" the play. They came from the Home for the Blind, the Industrial Home for Blind Men and Women, and scores of private homes. Many had never boeri in a theatre before. The curtain went up noiselessly, but the ears of the blind told them and they applauded. Before each act, Herman Bernstein, n blind lawyer of 149 Broadway, New Y'ork, arose in a box and explained just what would happen. The scenes were set as usual in deference to the keenness of hearing of the sightless au dience. The actors appeared in street clothes. Never before has such gen uine pleasure, such keen attention and grateful appreciation been seen in a theatre. Special programs in raised type were distributed to the audience. When asked about the play at the end of the performance, Lawyer Bernstein said that he had "seen" it six times. "That is why I could explain it to the others," he continued. "Some of these blind people will be talking about 'Within the Law' Until the day they jdie." The audience was very happy and went away chattering and carrying their theatre progrnms to read again when they got home. Mr. Veilier's stirring melodrama, which proved its interesting qualities when it was shown that oven the sight less might enjoy it, will be seen at the Majestic this afternoon and evening with a cast of well-known players. Clara Joel will be seen as Mary Turner, the shop girl heroine of the plav.— Adv. * At the Orpheum i Local theatregoers who miss the Or- I pheuin's current bi lIV will be missing a good deal.

Incidentally they will be missing the opportunity to see Miss Crosman at popular prices, for the first time in i Harrisburg. Miss Crosman is one' of j the few stars we have seeu at the Or pheum this season, who have forsaken |tiie legitimate stage in preference to I vaudeville. The play and the players I are, receiving words of praise by all who have seen it. This dramatic'act is surrounded by an array of some of the best mirth producers the Keith market boasts of. Swor and Mack, for in stance, the minstrel cut-ups, who are without a doubt the most popular black face funsters who ever appeared at the Orpheum. A close, second to them for good fun •ire Mr. and Mrs. Jack McGrecvy, the "rube" character artists, who are cer tainly a scfeam from start to finish. Such quaint rural fun liasn't been seen here in moons. Almost as popular as either of these two is Milof There's a nice cash prize awaiting you at the box ofliee if you don't get some of the best smiles of your life at this comedy surprise act.
