"Madame Sherry" Iteal French
Vaudeville.
When is vaudeville not vaudeville?
This conundrum Is definitely nailed
to a standstill by the reply: When it
is a Frencfli vaudeville. An evening
of farce studded with musical num
bers which do not hinder, but are
genuine stepping stones in the plot
there is the pocket definition of a
French vaudeville.
"Madame Sherry," the comedy 'with
music, which Is to be at the Lyric
Wednesday, April 10, is described
as the first "French vaudovlllo" to
vault to American Chores. It Is pro
duced by II. H. Frazee and George
W. Lederer, tho arrangements of the
production being in the hands of
Lederer, who made tho "revuo"
style of entertainment famous and
planted the seeds of "musical com
edy" as now established on this
bustling continent.
Lina Abarhanell of " Merry "Wid
ow" fame, heads the cast of players
and the novelty that makes "Sherry"
a vaudeville to be the absence of a
regulation electrotyped chorus. Sub
stituting the usual throngs of mas
culine and feminine poseurs and
dance acrobats will be an assembly
of young actresses, whose duties, al
though minor, will none the less be
legitimately connected with the
stage topic.
Resurrect Old Canal.
Assemblyman Cook has introduced
in the legislature two bills calling
for the rebuilding of the old D. & H.
Canal. The one repeals certain acts
relating to the D. & H. Canal com
pany. The acts repealed are chapter
238 of tho laws of 1823, which in
corporated tho company, and "all
subsequent acts" to and including
chapter 841 of the laws of 18G7, and
chapter 4G9 of the laws of 1899.
The other appropriates ?1, 000, 000
for the improvement of tho Delaware
and Hudson canal, from tho deep
water of the Hudson river at Itond
out; through or along tho Rondout
creek and other natural streams at
or near the entrance of the canal to
tho Delaware river at Port Jervls;
thence fallowing generally tho chan
nel of the Delaware river to its inter
section with the Lackawaxen river at
tho village of Lackawaxen. Tho
work is to be done by the superin

engineer and surveyor. The bill pro

each day tho girls Jab a little plug
Into a hole, and ba-11 out " Hello."
Usually they have to hold more or
less of a conversation with tho party
to find out what they want. Then
they have to puirch a push button
that rings a boll, and call up the par

other parties wanting that line at the

the ono at the end of three minutes,
and glvo tho line to tho next ono.

A JUST RULING.
A Butler, Mo., publisher brought
suit against one of his subscribers
who had taken the paper for a time
and then refused to pay, after the
old-fashion with which so many
newspaper makers are sadly familiar.
The subscriber, it is alleged, even
showed to tho magistrate that he had
ordered the sheet discontinued, yet
the Court of Appeals held that the
mere acceptance of a paper created
a liability. In summing up the case
tho judge said:
" The preparation and publication
of a newspaper involves much phy
sical and mental labor, as well as the
outlay of money. Ono who accepts
the paper by continuously taking it
from tho -postofllco, receives a bene
fit and pleasure arising from such
labor and expenditures as fully as If
he had appropriated any other pro
duct of another man's labor, and
by such act he must bo held liable
for tho subscription price."
It Is a fallacy held to many peo
ple that, under -certain circum
stances, they are not obliged to pay
for a newspaper that they have re
ceived for years. It Is true that
the postofflce department has made
somo rulings regarding tho passage
of papers through the malls, but tho
postofflce department has not made,
and can' not make, a ruling that will
affect the collection of a debt be
tween private parties. If you ncccpt
nt tho postofllco a newspaper sent to
your address, tho subscription price
of that paper can bo collected from
you, provided you are not execution
proof. The publisher may have vio
lated a rule of the postofflce In send
ing that paper through tho malls.
That Is a matter between him and
tho postmaster general. If you have

WATER POWER COMMISSION
WANTS FULL STATE CONTROL.
Harrlsburg, Pa., March 18. Full
stato control not only of tho con
stitution, but of tho operation of all
dams for water storago and power
Is foreshndowed by tho action of tho
stato water supply commission last
night in approving thirteen chnrtera
for tho Clarion River Water Power
project, only on condition that tho
owners of tho charters , agree in
writing to nccept whatever terms of
supervision tho state may Impose.
This action Is of stato Importance
as It means that tho commission will
keep tho dams within Its control,
and as fully a dozen big projects of
that kind aro pending, notably In
the northwestern counties, It will
havo a Wide effect. The Clarion
project, which Involves tho construc
tion of two huge dams and a tunnel
on tho Clarion river, In conjunction
with tho Tloncsta Creek project, will
cost millions of dollars. Tho step Is
ono of tho most Important yet taken
by the commission, and with tho leg
islation which it Is expected to have
passed In 1913, will effect stato con
trol of all dams during building and
after.
Aro you reading tho war story
now being run in Tho Citizen? It Is
very interesting.
